@Paul_B First I want to express my sumpathy that you’ve developed asthma. I had it as a child but outgrew it by about getting 11 or 12 (I lived in the same house with dogs, cats, and an open fireplace the whole time I had it and had outgrown it up until I enlisted at age 19) That said, an...

Our commercial milk (the milk in regular shops and supermarkets) has viatmain D added but generally milkcomsumption (like sun exposure) has taken a downturn in the last few decades. A quick reminder of something Isaid upthread, make sure you doctors know of all the supplements you take. I...

54f (12.2c) here at the moment. Cloudy and windy.

@Erbswurst it might also be worth noting that licenses aren’t always required for fishing or hunting. When fishing from a charter boat or public pier the license is usually included in the trip or entry fee. Likewise when hunting or fishing with a commercial guide/outfitter the license fees are...

As C_Claycomb said, prices vary by state and prey. Most states don’t even require a license at all for “vermin: such as feral pigs, jackrabbits (in most western states) and coyotes. Nor is there a closed season on such animals in most states. @C_clarcomb I’ve never been asked for my social...

@C_Claycomb yes for a non resident the hunting and/or fishing licenses are more expensive and usually are valid for a shorter period of time than a resident license in most states. However they’re no more difficult to get. In the case of residents and non residents alike you simply walk on and...

It depends on how you define “permission.” On all 50 States in the U.S. and in every Canadian Province the is lads and loads of public land. You do usually need a relatively inexpensive hunting license that is usually good for the entire year before needing to be renewed (do you consider that...

I might add that the old advise “It can’t hurt” isn’t necessarily true though. Always let your doctor know what supplements you’re taking, particularly if he/she schedules you for a procedure or surgical operation (they’ve always had me stop the vitamin E and the fish oil several day’s prior to...

I’ve had various supplements recommended by different doctors over the years. My optometrist recommended: -selenium -manganese -molibdinum (spelling?-others I can’t remember at the moment Instead of getting them individually I started taking a multivitamin capsule. Next neurologist recommended...

@JonathonD could you help?

To be fair, my credit card, VISA, does very similar, as do most credit cards here. If the card holder raises a complaint they withdraw payment until the issue is resolved: even on in store purchases.

Something doesn’t seem quite right. I don’t mean about eBay asking for your details: I’ve no idea about that. But as for them switching over and “starting” to accept credit cards, that just defies my experience. I’ve bought items on eBay for over a decade now and my credit card is the only...

I spent a lot of days out with a rifle in Southwest Asia when my best days were when I didn’t fire a shot.

@forrstdweller Yes they still use that method to smuggle contraband but the x-rays should defeat it. Now they also often have an outside accomplice use a drone after dark to drop it in the rec yard or some similar tactic.

Actually most GPS units also ploy any course you desire.

As a retired corrections officer I can assure you in,ages find ways to smuggle smart phones in every day. Past x-rays, past metal detectors, past strip searches: they still get them in.

I can’t remember who said upthread that the driving was getting worse at the moment. Here in the US we’ve had a rising level of problems over parking spaces. We’ve never been big on public transportation anyway but the pandemic has convinced merely everybody to abandon it (for fear of being too...

@Woody girl: you might want to add some melatonin to the supplements you’re taking to make up for lack of exposure to sunlight.
