I understand that! There is an RN at my Doctor's office that does the blood draws. I always kid him that if I faint, just to hurry up and get it done before he wakes me - not to worry, I'll be fine. The truth of the matter is he is the best Nurse I have ever had for drawing blood! First time, every time! No multiple pokes or digging around with the needle!I would say it was painless, but that would not be the truth. There were times when it was painful despite my scalp being numbed because all it really is is having a needle inject your plasma into the scalp over and over again. To me the worst part was getting my blood drawn because I broke into a sweat and felt dizzy resulting in the ammonia snap. If you have a thing against needles, then you may not like it. After the procedure was over, my head looked like bloody murder because of all the injections.
Cool story!@Wrangler-Rick , I thought of you this morning when I watched this story on the (CBS) news. It's a really nice story about a man in Vermont and his horses--one in particular, that is 40 years old. They sort of live for each other's friendship.

Sunday afternoonSympathy like for both the pain and needing it so young. When are you heading back north?
Sympathy like but at least it's supposed to be a bit above normal for the next 2 weeks.Sunday afternoon
Sometime during the week of Feb. 12th. I haven't nailed down exact days yet. Just going there for two days, but, that should be sufficient. I don't like everything there, but, what I do should just take about two days. It's the week just leading into Presidents day weekend. I should be on my way back home by Saturday. That is unless I decide to do more which I am inclined on occasion to do because I am a "wild and crazy guy".@Goofyernmost when are you going to UNI?
Our's go out every 7 years, almost on the dot! It must be engineered in. Long ago we had a water heater that lasted over 20 years. No, we don't use more hot water. In fact we use less.Jason got it...?!
Sympathy like.
Seriously, have dealt with that before, and it was no fun. Luckily, it died on a Thurs. and pop and I replaced it that Sat.
But, that was years ago. Starting to wonder when this one will finally croak.
Just a little FYI James really hates my avatar and it gets changed when his room is clean to my satisfaction, the pic is a bit of incentive
That's so sad. As they say, a fool is born every minute. We do a wash every couple month's, we have had no problem, can't say the same for the driveway. After one year, and paying 12,000$ required by the HOA, it is the literal pits now. We wash off the road junk, but it keeps coming back. The road crews don't sweep up the stuff when it isn't needed.If it hadn't just cost me $5.00 I would be laughing about this. We had the ice and snow storm a week ago last Friday night. I finally got around today to get to the car wash to get the light coating of salt and road dirt off the car. When I went to pay, I was told that there was an additional "mandatory" $5.00 charge for a prep wash. The prep wash was to prepare the car to get a regular wash so they "wouldn't scratch the paint" on the car. The prep involved the same action as the regular wash, but, because the folks down here don't know any better, they have been convinced that this was absolutely necessary before washing the car after a snow event. When I lived in Vermont I used to carry around the equivalent of the entire NC usage of this past storm on my car for months at at time.
I protested but got no place. I'm so tired lately of fighting battles with ignorance that I just shrugged my shoulders and said... enjoy that $5.00 because it is the last you will ever see from me. My last car spent 7 winters in the salt and sand of Vermont winters and when I sold it this year it was 11 years old and the finish on it was factory. Still had a high gloss. I have to wonder if people are spending so much time online these days that they never were able to learn basic life and what makes thing work. It is a sad testament I think.
Same for us too. I never got a quarter, just a dime, and I thought I was rich!Woof! $20...!!!
The most I ever remember getting was a quarter.
And, I'm pretty sure the most we ever gave any of our kiddos was $1...
