I’m from Ontario, and I have no complaints about our medical system at all. The flaw occurs when u can’t get a family Dr. I had congestive heart failure about 18 years ago. I waited 20 hours to be seen in the ER.
This has only come down a bit over the years. A.recent scandal in the news...
When my mother in law passed away, and we were settling her estate, we transferred her mail and land line to us. That's when we discovered that she had contributrd to just about every charity known to mankind. The calls and junk mail were endless.
The worst was The Salvation Army. She was not...
When I went to elementary school In the dark ages, we had movies, and lessons about not littering. There were many public service messages on TV as well.
🎶 Please, Please, don’t be a litterbug, because every litterbit hurts! 🎶
I am a bit older I guess. All of our lights when I was a kid, were the kind that all went off when one burned out—which was very often. My job was to find the dead bulb and replace it. I seemed to spend the holidays circling the tree, and trying to find the offender. Those bulbs could be hot!
I think what is actually mean instead of “good question” which implies admiration for the interviewers grammar and word choice is “I found that topic one I was interested in as well, and I have wondered about the answer too.
A much less serious topic here, but once you notice it sticks in your brain!
Why does everyone being interviewed seem to believe they have to raite the questions? An example would go something like this:
INTERVIEWER: So how did it take to get your PHD?
CELEBRITY: What a good question! --...
I have always been able bodied until my illness. You really get an indication of the inadequate accommodation that is found everywhere for people in walkers and wheel chairs. Designers just are not thinking. Most hospitals open their doors on a slope. If a person is not careful they will slide...
I am temporarily having to use a walker. It is my understanding that public buildings must be modified to accommodate the handicap. I had to go for an ultrasound. My experience could make a short called “Charlie Chase gets an ultrasound”
First of all I had to be dropped off in downtown...
Sorry guys,but here in Canada, its tons of tests, doctors and nurses, accommodation since the second week in January, pills IVs, use of wheel chairs and walkers, physio therapy , and 3 squares a day etc. etc, -- price zero
That's socialism for you!
Mind u, I am not in the fancy...
I've been in the hospital since mid January. My pneumonia is cured and I am in good health, but since I was in a coma for almost a month, I can't walk. This is a common side effect of being in bed without moving for a long time. As u can imagine, I am dying to get home. A line from "The 7 year...
I would love to go to a restaurant which played no music. You don't go to one to listen to their crap but to have a quiet conversation and to eat. I hate having to yell across the table, and why is the speaker always above my head?
This "wide screen artistic thing" is really ridiculous for TV shows, which are made expressly for home screens and will never be shown in a movie theatre. Can't they occasionally use that format say for space battles etc.?
I am in the hospital. There is another patient separated from me by a curtain. He is a Check and speaks little English, but is able to access foreign language broadcasts on his laptop. So, from beside me I hear: hjytfedsb ha, ha, ha, nmjkug ha, ha, ha.
The funny thing for me is that I realized...
Don't people use the old technique? When someone is headed toward u with brights on, you flick yours on as well for a few seconds as well. That usually reminds them and they turn theirs down.
I am having trouble with the "likes". It used to direct me to my own comments, but now I have notice of 5 likes but each says something like John Smith has started a thread, and they will not go away
We go to a local sub store. Recently it was closed with no note on the door. A few days later we noticed it was opened. I called. The owner said they could not get the staff that day and had to close for a few hours. Now I have to call ahead every time I want to go there to make sure they are...
Do any states have what we Canadians call “the machine” yet? When you are finished at a restaurant, you ask for or are asked if you want “the machine” and the waitress brings over a portable credit card reader. Then you proceed to slide or tap your card, add the tip, and no one else touches it...
If they give me a choice of paths by picking various numbers, I always pick the one that they would be most interested in, like “choose 4 if you want to book a party of 100 or more”. This can make them answer more quickly, and they often have one the same person answering everything any way! If...
I find I still like to talk directly to company representatives, but almost go insane as I am instructed to “press 1 for this, or press 3 for that. We also get asked to press a number indicating what language you want.
Over and over again you are asked to go “on line or download the app.” If I...
Ok, this thread is called "What Annoys You", not "How To stop World Hunger", so here goes:
I purchased the Blu ray set of ST Picard which has 3, or 4,discs. As usual, lately it was packed in a 2 Blu ray case with two discs placed on the same hub. I know we are considered a "dying breed" by...
I have a related Christmas story. My 80 year old grandmother lived with my two maiden aunts. They were sever germaphobes. This was way up North where there is always lots of snow and ice.
Another Aunt and her husband always fixed their turkey for them and delivered it to their house on...
Why are there so many commercials with really bad children? We have a car company advertising, on the radio, how well made their cars are. Then we hear a temper tantrum from a child who is slamming the car door over and over. She says she will do it a “gillion” times if she has to, to get her...
Thanks anyway, but this set of instructions does not match our TV. We are going to look through our files for the instructions, which I am sure we have. By the way, the TV was on again this morning.
