On the subject of DPOA--I would suggest, as a doctor not a lawyer--to not count on a DPOA for Health Care. Do your spouse, partner, or whoever a favor and spell out your wishes clearly in writing. ...

This discussion is moot. My wife went to Costco today. There is nothing left.

Now I need to convince her she needs a Mac.

There was a guy at the VA hospital who jumped out of bed, stood at attention and saluted every morning when we came around on rounds. I hope he knew WWII was over.

There's a discussion about the Palisades parking system in the current Moonshine Ink--available online. Needless to say the Palisades rep says it was a great success. The customer not so much. No...

Some amazing plays in the Avs-Stars game last night on both sides. The AVs goal middle of the 2nd especially. The best game I've watched in Round 2, if you like skilz. Too bad for you East coast...

One of the reasons our marriage survives is that she has an iphone and I have an android. I spend enough time as it is straightening out her computer messes. At least I can plead ignorance about her...

There was a segment on PBS Nature recently about 399. The scene makes a Saturday pow day at Olympic Valley look serene. If Biden were to drop a bomb it would raise the average intelligence of the...

We needed a new silverware tray. My wife got one that's a mirror image of the old one so all the silverware is in the wrong place. I can't cope.

I would want an IOL that I could ski with and drive with and wear glasses for reading and computer (and TV watching hockey).

I'm not at that point of surgery yet. Right now the best tool to...

I didn't know that about the research but I know that mile for mile the Corvair was no more deadly than any other car. Same with the exploding Pintos, one of which I owned. Jeeps scare me; you don't...

The are no aspects at OV, at least compared to AM. The one big advantage OV has is the option to operate the upper mountain only. I would gladly trade a better spring season at AM for a longer...

I think if you want to hear him you have to book a SCOTUS cruise.

Doh. I meant corvair. (I remeber seeing picture of a corvair upside down and the funny way the wheels toed in but I'm pretty sure the car wasn't meant to be driven that way. Except by a certain ex...

That model doesn't seem to have push pull pots. Did you get the guitar used? Bad ground?

The main reason to avoid probate in CA is that you can do a trust for a fairly reasonable fixed fee, while in probate the lawyer charges a percentage of the estate. So for a sizable estate--very...

We try to get up to Mendocino. My hobby is woodworking and there's a famous woodworking school up there so the galleries have some cool furniture.

I learned the hard way not to camp near a bunch...

Before I fell asleep he was saying something about all the grads should become public interest lawyers. I suspect most of them fell asleep too.
Interesting thing is--Ralph continued to drive a...

My remarks about it being no big deal was tongue in cheek. Once we got the family photos and her bills and other paper work what was left was the posessions of a serious hoarder with a shopping...

Packing up an elderly parent's house is no big deal. Just have your sister in law hire a guy and 5 full size dumpsters. (She had a killer 1950's Danish modern bedroom set. Unfortunately she died...

Do any of the tone and volume knobs on the guitar have a push pull feature. I have a Gibson where one of the knobs switches the hunbuckers to single coil. If the knob is pulled out you get 60 cycle...

My college grad speaker was Pete Seeger, who did a show and told us he was trying to save the Hudson River.
Med school the class voted for Hanoi Jane. They gave us Marcus Welby (Robt Young)...

I've got an internist who does steroid injections, treats precancerous skin lesions, evaluates sore shoulders and prescribes exercises. All the stuff most general internists won't do. Saves me a...

When did hockey become a morality play? Before I was born, I'm thinking.

FIFY : -- )

Be sure the cable between the guitar and amp is intrument cable, not speaker cable. Unfortunately they can look the same and use the same plugs.

I'd suggest drinking espresso.

There are good reasons for requiring a PCP referral--a lot of times the referral the patient thinks they need they don't or it's the wrong speicalist, the PCP knows the specialist will require...

Maybe dogs will get out of the way at least sometimes but babies won't. I took care of a two year old run across his stomach by dad's mercedes. Tire marks to prove it. The only thing wrong with...

FUCK is only 4 letters, no wonder it didn't work.

We need state laws that allow medical boards to hold nonphysician owners of hospitals, clinics and medical practices to be held accountable for the quality of medical care. Give medical boards the...

You actually watched it?

How come when I post one thing I get the 45 second error, but if I actually do make another post within 45 seconds, it posts just fine WITH NO FUCKING ERROR MESSAGE!!!

Example--this one.

I'm less interested in the profit sharing aspect of Stavros' model--although the long time employee they interviewed got a 6 figure payout--than in the fact that they didn't strip the business and...

Then why don't they call it the Bidet Queen. (And it looks exactly like the HD model and the Brondell model I mentioned. I'm getting the idea that all the bidet seats except Toto come from the same...

And the bike seats aren't even heated.

Maybe not all. https://www.cbsnews.com/video/private-equity-heavyweight-pushes-employee-ownership-60-minutes-video-2024-05-05/

Our DIL is about to enter her last year of ER residency and is...

Home Depot has a budget friendly bidet seat with heated seat, water, and dryer. It's an HD exclusive superficially identical to a Brondell that's about 80 bucks more. Which means the innards might...

After seeing Pastrnak get taken out by the ref, I guess the folks who say he isn't built for the playoffs might right.

St Orres is an inn with cottages, dog friendly, great restaurant, near Gualala. We spent our first anniversary there. (Caveat, that's the last time we were there and we're coming up on 41st). Our...

A nice way to make tacos--brush both sides of corn tortilla with oil, lay on baking sheet unfolded. Add meat and cheese, bake 450 until edges of tortillas start to brown, remove from oven, add the...

IME the playoffs is when the heroes become unsung and the unsung become heroes. There are plenty of exceptions of course, but it's depth that wins Cups.

Only if they're home crisped. If you're talking about store bought taco shells they're an abomination. I generally go for flour or corn soft tacos.

I'm sad about the result but it was nice to watch a game with minimal penalties, cheap shots, and scrums on both sides. I think Dallas learned something last year--discipline can win hockey games....

As soon as you saw Pasta streaking down the right wing it was obvious what was going on. At least from TV level, not necessarily ice level. He looked like a soccer forward making a run. (Soccer--...

Not to mention country.

I would assume that in the event of a divorce the wills would be changed to reflect the terms of the prenup. So isn't all this moot?

Again pardon my ignorance but isn't the practice in avy terrain to ski one by one from safety zone to safety zone--assuming there is a safety zone? Why should the practice be any different whether...
