Getting an annual physical at the doctors

[plowhog]

I'm glad to see somebody else feels that way. When I'm gone I want to be disposed of in the cheapest way possible. I'll be done with my body, it won't matter what happens to it.

I grew up in a flower shop, funeral flowers helped to feed me. Yet the time to buy them is when people are living.

Come to Nevada and in 8 weeks after death you can end up in a garden pot.

"Assembly Bill 289 legalizes so-called 'human composting,' the process of organically disposing of human remains to be converted into soil. Nevada became the seventh state to legalize the practice, according to cremation.green.

According to the company Recompose, their process involves placing the body 'into a stainless steel vessel along with wood chips, alfalfa, and straw.' In 8-12 weeks, the body breaks down into roughly one cubic yard of soil to be used on tress, plants or donated"

Really mess with them...

Ask them if they want 0805 or 1905 then 0152 or 1352.

2005?

Went for my every 6 month check up urinalysis, drug test and blood work yesterday.
Have some health issues that are not only painful but require monitoring.
Hopefully catch anything early.
Luckily I have an excellent Dr.
His nurse lives about a mile from me and she is the sweetest most helpful individual that I have met in the medical field.

Many folks lost care during the pandemic and a lot of providers closed up and retired.

Mom would have all those questions at her annual physical but last one was 1998 as her doctor retired and had a hard time scheduling and when I finally got a date it was March 2000 just as everything shut down.

Was there a pandemic in 2000?

Sidenote back to the original neighbors which made me start this thread...

Neighbor called me to let me know she was going to Charlotte for a couple of days and asked me to look over her house from time to time and to let me know not to worry if I don't see her.

She also sent a really nice thank you card to us for the baked food we brought over for new years eve and mentioned her children and grandkids loved them, particularly the baked pecans.

Sometimes neighbors with common sense and common courtesy are hard to come by.

Many years ago a doc told me that controlling my weight was the key to good health. I have tried to maintain good weight but Covid craziness saw me gain 20+ lb. Enacting countermeasures to fix it: carnivore, no bread, no wine, weigh myself every day, no processed food, took hiatus from making sourdough. Looking to shift 10 kg. Gah. 3 years of making and eating sourdough, drinking wine and eating ice cream bars has taken its toll.

Reminds me of a girl I dated for a while. She was a cosmetologist for a funeral home. Did hair for the deceased. Before that, it never occurred to me that it was a job!

I used to work with a guy whose wife was a beautician and she did lots of funeral home work. She said it gave her a good feeling to know she was helping a family in a time of stress.
