iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Sometimes spending the 4K (which I know you don’t have) is the right answer even if car is 12 years old. Have you looked at what the car would be worth if running? (I’ve put that much into Subarus that age and it’s been okay.) One thing you definitely WON’T get for 4K is a different car…

Hmmm. Mine believes I like British tv and books (fair), crafts and educational children’s toys and that I have a small dog and a Breville espresso machine. Guilty as charged. Also thinks I have small children and a cat though so clearly I remain a mystery!

Hmmm. So plague is bad now, unlike in the past when nobody worried about it?

So many great options here : “doesn’t want to kill grandma”, “doesn’t want to miss finals week“, “thinks having long COVID sounds like a bummer ”. Such BS that RFK the lesser makes you jump through hoops for this.

I had flu and ruptured OM while a resident in the dark ages (1990s). (Was also pregnant and had a toddler 😳. ) Still remember the bone-deep fatigue combined with the pressure to hurry up and get back to work. Hoping you have the time to heal fully.

You also wonder if he remembers (?knows) that “using” your insurance often isn’t free in the US due to deductibles and copays? It’s possible to have insurance for emergencies but to not be able to afford to use it routinely.

I’m a grandmother but had to be the “tooth mouse” (her Papa is French) recently and had to provide a “toonie” which is a $2 coin in Canada (about $1.50 USD). Perhaps tariff prices are having an impact at your house?

Wish I could tell you that will end. I was almost 60 when a visiting Peds surgeon asked me a question clearly intended for the nursing staff. Neither you nor I fit people’s narrow template for “doctor”. Reinforce your title as often as you need to but it sucks and I’m sorry.

Yes. I wonder how they think we all survived in the 1960s with just water fountains in the hall? Times were so primitive that we didn’t even carry water bottles!

Spent my earliest childhood in Seattle and moved to Alaska at age 5 so pretty accurate (though their algorithm guessed I was from Montana).

Yep. My mom would get new caregivers who only wanted her to drink water instead of her preferred room-temp Diet Coke. I’d explain that the stroke had taken her mobility and her speech and we were not taking her Diet Coke. Even on hospice, we syringed it for her.

Cold salmon pasta salad. Cooked bow tie noodles with some combo of mayo and yogurt, dill and lemon zest, leftover salmon and peas depending on which grand kids are eating.

Hoping you get helpful advice from the younger and more “techy”. I divide my time between Alaska and a small town in British Columbia and get good service in both regions.

Spent 18 hours at O’Hare in about 1980. (Airport closed after a horrible crash.) That was the last time I flew in high heels and stockings. (I was 16 and dumb). Also, my 18 month old sister lifted her leg and peed like our spaniel…and we just walked our tired selves along.

This was my Facebook photo in 2020 and I never bothered to change it since I don’t spend much time there. Shameful that this is still controversial. He’s a true national hero and deserves a peaceful retirement instead of being badgered by idiots like Moreno and Rand.

Agree. Same with mocking his voice (which is a medical issue.) The problem is not that RFK Jr used drugs. The problem is that he’s a grifter who tells medical lies for profit. (Of course, it’s also true that Fauci is 1000x better at being a human than he’ll ever be…)
