Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?

betrayal

cindyny, now I understand about the delay in dental work. You sound like the energizer bunny and to know it is without the use of caffeine is remarkable.

Called the Penn Bookstore today when I realized I had been overcharged for the sweater I bought. I did the math and the reduced price did not reflect what had been posted as the sale price so I called the store. The new sale price was to be an extra 25% off. The clerk I spoke to said I would have to return to the store to get the credit and I explained it would involve a 2 hour round trip to do so and I would like to avoid that if possible. He spoke to his supervisor who was busy but said he would return my call today. He did and I was able to get a refund to my credit card without any issues. So the sweater was really a good buy after all.

Spoke to a former nursing school classmate about a possible get together at her home in early December. She tries to reunite former classmates at a dinner and it is fun playing catch-up and reminiscing. As students the house rules were so strict you would have thought we were living in a convent so we grew close and developed our own fun for those after class and clinical hours plus the mandatory study hours.

Rather a lazy day for me after yesterday. Did not tackle the closet again as I had planned. DS gifts me an Acorn TV subscription for my birthday so last week I thought I got the account up to date. Today I sign in and nope, it never updated. So I reached out to them because I had given code number paper to DH to shred thinking all was good. Thankfully he hadn't gotten to shredding it yet because Acorn was less than helpful when I contacted them claiming they had no record of an update or a code. So I did go in and reregister using the new code and it appears that I am good until November 2025 now. I will give it a try to make sure all is well.

It's these little things that consume so much effort and time yet make you look like you have done nothing all day. I have routine Sunday chores involving the bird cages and usually knock those off as I am listening to Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation. I admire her intellect and how she is prepared to sometimes wade through horse manure but calls out people when they do try.

It was sunny today but in the 50's so a typical fall day. Watched an interaction between 2 of this year's fawns. It was a young buck (has 2 knobs on his head) who was licking the head and then cleaning the ear of a young doe that I suspect is his sister. He really worked at cleaning the interior of that ear and I thought it was so endearing. Mama was grazing nearby and then another young male with his 2 knobs joined them. They are still on the small side compared to the doe but larger than they had been.

Hope everyone had a great day.
