[Del Woppio]

Today we drove to Austin (70 miles).
9:55am toilet
10am depart
10:45 toilet
11:30 toilet
midday arrive Austin, toilet
12:45 lunch
1:20 toilet
1:30 walk
2:00 toilet
2:10 depart Austin
2:45 toilet
3:30 arrive home, toilet

If there is one thing I would like to change about getting older ....

That's quite a lot of walking

I wrote bathroom several times. Then changed it so y'all would understand.

I’d be getting your prostate checked, @Dennisons Wrong Foot

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

I have an annual checkup next month and will mention my prostate again. Last year the doctor dismissed my concerns after I told him I had previously had my prostate checked 25 years ago.

I get the feeling that the American health care system is changing. In the past, doctors would want every test under the sun, but not any longer. Age 66, first doctor visit in years, and was told I did not need any tests/exams at all. Wife has to specifically ask for tests or medication and is still often told they are not needed.

I guess it is either because we have Medicare, or because a lot of doctors practices have been purchased by venture capitalist firms that are pressuring doctors to see more patients - leading to less and less time for the doctor to spend with each one.

Maybe @Alan understands better.

But this is it!
Why do you call them bathrooms when there isn't a bath in there?
What's wrong with toilet? or The Men's room, I think you even use 'Restroom', even though you don't really rest...

@Dennisons Wrong Foot

For-profit hospitals are huge part of the issue, RFK, Jr. is another (he’s even pushed some states into requiring a prescription to get a COVID vaccine, even if you’re in a high risk cohort).

Mostly, though, it’s just a fucking terrible system that hasn’t prioritized actual healthcare over money in decades, certainly not in my lifetime.

I’m sorry y’all are catching the sharp end of it. I wish I knew some loophole you and yours could take advantage of.

Toilet/loo/bog would be my personal preferences, but after 20 years in another culture you have no choice but to assimilate.

 

[Alan]

Up north you’ll hear “washroom”, too.

Toilet probably makes the most sense as IIRC neither version of what I would call a toilet is actually a toilet.

Tough to take. Have had similar instances with a couple of pets.

not just sad tbh, a little frightened. I have used this bus stop often to get home.

When I met Craig he was 13 and homeless. I still thought his life might turn around. I was tragically wrong

The long read: I knew he was running away from something. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered the truth

I am a man out of time. FFS why would you drive miles and queue for a fucking baked potato, the most simple of foods. If its for the social activity I am at a loss, get a fucking hobby, maybe tiddlywinks or chess....anything.

Over 12 years ago, we welcomed into the world our Daughter, Susie, A really fantastic child.
Not a single bit of trouble, 12 years old and we've never had to tell her off.
I can honestly say, we've tried so hard to bring her up the way we thought was best.
Then a few days ago, she looked me in the eye and she said to me, " Daddy, can you take me to watch Wolves play?"
The moment a father would love to hear his daughter ask....
I mean, what the fuck do I tell her?

 

[EpsomWolf]

It’s one of the proudest moments when your child tells you they want to come, it means they feel inside what the club means to you and want to be part of it, and that they’ve resisted all of the external forces pulling them in the direction of the other clubs too.

Just tell her you’d love to take her and organise it. You’ll have the memory forever regardless of the result.

"Yes, of course - the game will be rubbish but that's only 5% of the whole occasion!"

I think Mini Langers has a bit more respect for me at the moment - we're so bad and he's not used to it, so he often asks why I put up with the decades of mediocrity pre-McCarthy/Nuno. I just told him that you stick with your club - the good times feel SO much better if you've had to suffer the bad times.

Glory hunters will never understand this.
