Good Morning, Do, Today is Tuesday, November 7 Calgary was a waste of time, gasoline and parking fees. Because one of my meds is a lasix to get rid of water, they panicked and referred me to the big hospital. New consultation date. I told her that I can easily stop the lasix for a few days. Sure, that makes me gain a pound of weight per day, but since I lose a couple of pounds a day with their nuclear laxative, that is no big deal. However, she seemed to be allergic to logic. Have Fun!

She allegedly reeked of alcohol and had red, watery eyes, according to the Polk County Sheriff's office. When Byrne got off the saddle, she was found with a blood alcohol content nearly twice the legal limit, police said.

'She not only put herself and the horse in danger, but also anyone who was driving on the road, which is typically very busy.' Byrne was also hit with an animal neglect charge, police said.

 From Sally While riding the bus, my mother noticed a young man, who was holding onto the same pole, staring at her. Eventually, he said, "Excuse me. This is my stop." Since she wasn't blocking his way, she was confused. "Well," she said, "go ahead." "And this is my pole," he said. My mother was completely perplexed until the young man added, "I just bought it at the hardware store to hold up my shower curtain." And with that, he picked up his pole and carried it off the bus. ____________________________________________________
