I would start with a tea towel for a bib and you are so right - they have to be very ripe and I had eating them down pat. LOL
Wondering whether you have had a flu shot yet or visited the clinic I recommended?

I'm off to the dentist on Wednesday morning. I'll be taking one or two 5 mg diazepam before leaving home. Who me brave?
LOL It never is as bad and she is a gentle dentist. I have quite a few injections just for clean and scale so I am charged for
the extra time - 1 hour. No fun being long in the tooth. LOL Tablets are a year out of date but NBD told me ages ago it
should not matter.

I chose to not open my mouth because she has had a go at me before too. LOL In total now only 3 have had a go at me and it
is why I refuse to post some of my work on one thread.
New posters are not so dumb either and will work some things out.

She knows I am a member of Animals Australia and generously donate.

I think your funny at times and anything but dumb but have enjoyed our many chats. I don't know what you said that was
wrong - but there you go. I'm totally miffed Mr Interior Decorator and lover of women. LOL

actually I decided not to go near a doctor for the time being. I need to do a coronary check at some point - playing safe since all my forbears on both sides have had coronary problems of one sort of another and two brothers and one sister have stents. so i will get to it - just enjoying life at present - including persimmons. Mangos are another favourite. I had a friend who knew I liked them and when he visited he always brought a box with him. Mangos and persimmons are, I think, best eaten in a bath with a glass of champagne.

btw justis I don’t think you did anything particularly wrong but sometimes once there has been a problem, whether intentional or not history comes into it. That history might include a sense that you disagree and that feels critical. It’s complicated.

What I can’t make sense of is how easily people get upset with what is just an exchange. Its happened on HC more than I can fathom. It’s not as though we live with each other so it’s not much of a big deal to just move on. But maybe our sense of self is entwined with whether people seem to approve of us. I was reflecting on that today - partly because I realised that I didn’t actually care much what some of the more rabid people writing on the political threads think of me. I realised that was a somewhat novel experience. I realised that what I cared about was whether I manage to be true to what I believe in - being decent. Being thoughtful and trying to be rational and as far as possible leaving emotional judgment out of it. Sometimes on those threads I’ve found that hard.
