Good morning/afternoon all.
Not as sunny today but dry and warm.
The best thing about today is that the nasty neighbours have gone away!!?
Don't know how long for but even a couple of days is respite.
Hope everyone has a good Thursday!!!
Good morning!!!! I am so excited for your peace time for as long as it lasts! It’s cool here this morning but I am sure it will warm quickly.. I will work from home today and attempt to get some of my yard and household Maintenence done at the same time.. I have gotten a list and pricing from our local dump (tip, I think you call it ) and I need to get some things sorted and loaded to go there!

Well I fired my hematologist today. He was new because my last 2, one had died and one had retired. When I went in for my checkup. The PA came in first and during her questions she asked if I was taking my coumadin correctly? I said of course, my wife makes sure I take my meds correctly. Then the doctor came in looked at my charts and asked if I was taking my meds correctly because my blood levels are not consistent. I told him the same thing about Rose making sure I take my meds. He questioned me again later on in a way of accusations that I was not telling the truth. After a long wait in the waiting room and the ride there. My pain level was high. So I exploded and told him to get f##ked and a few other comments. Then Rose and I left with me ranting all the way out of the building. Not one of my finest moments.
Ray on a daily basis I see medical professionals that are far less than that! Besides manners should be 2 years of medical school!

I'm not a doctor but common sense tells me that unless there was exactly the same interval between taking the meds and having blood work done each time then there could be differences, so he needs to allow for that. Also what have you to gain by not telling the truth? Seems to me he needs to think before he starts casting aspersions.
Amen to that. If my er doctor had had correct info on what calcium and D3 I was taking she may have run a blood test for that. I'm sick of them having boo-boos on me. Ray said exactly what he should have.

Poor turtles have all sorts of problems. I saw something on tv recently about how global warming is affecting the temps of sand/soil which then affects the success of turtles eggs.
I'm sure I've read on TFO how the higher temps also affects gender, so if the eggs do hatch you could end up with too many males or females.
In some places, when they've dug themselves out of the nest at night, the hatchlings also have the confusion caused by electric lighting near beaches which they head for instead of the sea so get lost and taken by predators.
They have lot to deal with :(
Good job they have people looking out for them.
Yes and I've heard recently how the night lights of city buildings during migration is killing thousands of birds. The upside of this is that many of those cities are turning the lights out during the migration period because some people are trying to make people aware of that.

For those looking for ten minutes of cicada symphony, here you go. Our area is a buzz with cicadas in all stages.


Oh my God!
This is PERFECT!!!!!
That sound is AMAZING!
It must be deafening if you are right there!
Do you hear that day AND nightly ??
In the beginning it sounded as if one was being electrocuted!!!
Or was he just .... well.... Finnishing up his business?? ?
and toward the end of the video I must say,... Mother Nature sure doesn’t make it easy for them to meet and mingle by blowing that bush around so violently!
Why, how ever did they stay “attached”? ?? (if ya know what I mean...)

I’m sure they found a way.....?
