:lol: No.

Had to visit a medical lab for a test.

Half an hour?? Why so short:confused:

:eek:Huh??? That wasn't available in the Fraser valley or Vanvegas?:confused:

Badum:lol:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Wanted to get back home before dark which is why we left right away.

The test/sample drop off is available at 2 locations in the LM (Surrey and North Vancouver), but life labs doesn't do this test walk in and requires appointments the earliest they could offer was mid January.

Lab in Kelowna allowed drop off on a walk in basis.

It's my fault, and lesson learned, call the lab right away when a doctor gives you a requisition, some tests have limited appointments and month long waits. Don't wait until 2 weeks before your doctors appointment.

Was it really a test for Charlee ? :eek:

I'll add our windshield well, it's got to be replaced now. Rock kicked up by a truck (pick up not semi) hit the window, all was okay at first, then temp got colder, and now nice long crack end to end almost.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Looks like another trip to Kelowna coming up.

I've seen doctors sell eggs and things in their office, but never this.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Yeah, we debated how to do that over here... I thought it was a brilliant idea :(

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

As long as you have room for the chickens and the by-laws allow it, I think it's a great idea as well.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Perhaps if he linked it to new patients currently without a doctor. :lol:

I've been meaning to mention...for anyone who likes mince pies and doesn't want to make their own or spend a fortune ordering 'British' ones or spend a fortune on those dainty little overpriced ones that Sobeys have sold in the past - not seen them this year yet - try your nearest HomeSense store.

They often have surprising food choices in there and the one my stepdaughter works in has packs of Walker's mince pies (6). $6.99 I believe, which seems okay compared to alternative pricing and delivery costs.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I had one of these yesterday

Mother in law missed the last step in the basement today and tumbled. I got her up and over to ER as her ankle looked 'dented' and she was x-rayed within half an hour of arriving. :thumbup:

Doc said she broke everything in her ankle that she could break.

In surgery right now. She's fit as a fiddle normally (78!) and they're suggesting if all goes well, a bit of physio tomorrow and home.

That might be a bit optimistic. :unsure:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Ouch!

What a nasty thing to have happen :(

Wishing her a speedy recovery, hopefully she'll be out and on crutches asap.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Oh lawdy :unsure:
I hope that she is alright- they do sometimes boot youngsters out after a night but that would be a bit harsh at her age. That's a bummer when you needed her to clear the snow off the driveway- how inconsiderate of her :thumbdown:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I'll pass that on, thanks.

She doesn't get on with crutches, a walker/rollator will be more likely.

Fortunately we already have one.

:lol: but it's the deck she does a bit of. I wonder if the roller will take a blade. :ohmy:

I had hoped to have been 'done' with hospitals for some time yet, but then it's not actually be in there. :unsure:

At London Drugs today and a guy was flipping out about dispensing fees.

Lady at the desk looked like she was on the verge of tears over his scream fest.

As we were leaving he was at the front of the store yelling at another employee.

Oh how some people treat others so poorly.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Perfect. I wonder if the physio people can attach it when they adjust it for her.

It might be a bit awkward going through doorways, although maybe it's a good way to rip up a carpet I'd like to see gone. ;)

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

I'd absolutely love to be present for something like that.

My stepdaughter complains about how some customers treat her.

Early in 2015 she went to get a customer something from the stockroom - at this point he appeared appreciative. As she was passing it to him he withdrew his hand as she released it and it fell on the floor.

He said something a long the lines of "A monkey could do your job...your mother must be so proud..."

This was two weeks after her mum died.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

:sad_smile:

Crass asshole.

I had a really bad cold and while at school a teacher said to me "Does your Mother know you are too ill to be here?" to which I replied "That would be a little difficult seeing as how she has been dead 4 years - and my step-mother a year".

Damn stupid people... they need to think before they open their insensitive gobs!

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Holy cow...I think we have a new abusive term. A crasshole. :lol:

Dammit...it's been done already :(

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

So visiting MIL at the hospital this morning, her room mate is a slip of a thing who pops out for an occasional smoke.

Given the -15 (feels like -25) temperature I lent her my gloves.

Apparently she's been there a month and what may have been her dad was there when we arrived and the cards suggest she's not forgotten.

But it's been pretty cold for at least couple of weeks and very cold the last few days. Nobody thought to take her some gloves? :confused:

I just popped home for lunch and I'm taking a spare pair back.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

Best wishes to BristolUK's MIL (ouch :( ), & kudos for taking care of her roommate.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

You are such a thoughtful person, you know... take a virtual hug!

:)

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

:)

Shucks :o

The hospital used to have a smoking area just outside the door and along about 20 yards, seats, sand/ash buckets and a wind breaking fence.

Now the smokers have to cross the road, and all the way through the parking lot to the other side. All with an IV pole if they're connected. :eek:

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

At the hospital where my daughter worked, in central Toronto, patients fitted with IV poles would trundle them into the street and use the connection to load up with street drugs. I don't know if there was a designated area.

Somehow I was reminded of this guy... Klaus Nomi... remember him??

Doesn't seem familiar. Looks like he could be an alien in some 1960s sci-fi TV show :lol:

Maybe he never made it across the Channel. Try this...

Nope, it's a blank I'm afraid.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
 

MIL still in hospital - bit groggy Sunday but better today, Monday. Can't see them kicking her out for a couple of days yet.

Given all that we endured late 2014 and then April 2015 right up to that phone call from the hospital, it's not been fun but of course we have to go. :nod:

And then at 10.00 pm the phone rings. I know it can't be anything like that call, but stepdaughter goes into stress mode.

I hear "Congratulations.....Air Canada....." and put the phone down and calm her.

I don't believe for a minute it really was Air Canada but whoever it was wants stringing up.

We're on the do not call list and I've reported it but of course I can't provide anything useful. :frown:

Some thoughts

Why do some people and all the media say Happy Holidays?

Should it not be Merry Holidays, or even dare I say it, Merry Christmas.

In fact, what if people are working over Christmas is that not rubbing it in their faces, ha ha I am on a happy holiday and u have to work. Maybe teachers could say happy holidays to all their neighbors and friends in summer see how well that goes down.
