I'd pay about double that for 10 capsules in the USA. I prefer the old way of brewing coffee, but not quite instant coffee old! Lol

I got the 1st jab last year July - in the muscle in NYC. Then they started the process of giving smaller doses under the skin. I held off figuring as more vaccine became available they would switch back to giving it in the muscle as the manufacturer prescribe. Not sure if they have. But thinking I should call, ask and get the 2nd jab.

Thank you - it sounds like you need to jailbreak the device. That is probably beyond my tech skills!! But appreciate you clarifying.

@BlkSuperman Can you clarify- what is a"firestick"?

I have a friend in Japan who raves about Line, but have never used it myself - I am sticking to WhatsApp. Certainly does not sound like you are losing things. In fact I wish my vacations were as action packed as yours - I will try to be a better butterfly and maybe a change of scenery (to Thailand perhaps!) will help. I applaud your adventurous spirit!

I love tea - we need to compare notes! 😉

I don't know, that I'd pretty cheap - even when compared with other developing countries. During a recent trip to South Africa, Turkey and Thailand, 40 USD didn't get me very far. 🤷‍♂️ That being said, the quality was excellent.

We stand ready to FedEx overnight you some premium lube!!! 😆

Both Amex and Bank of America have told me I no longer need to inform them of travel ahead of time. They did say I should make sure my mobile phone works - if they have concerns like a red flag pops up, they will text you to ask if it is you transacting. I usually call to make sure I know my ATM limit as that will dictate how much local currency I can withdraw at one time. My limit used to me $500, I had to request an increase. They were cool with that as it is a debit card that requires a pin.

Yes, from the article referenced above: "But María Antonia Martínez, of the National Toxicology Institute’s Drugs Service, says that scopolamine intoxication through the skin is “practically in the realm of science fiction.”" Getting drugged during a rub down or stretching with a trainer in a public space is highly unlikely. Maybe oral ingestation but even then the outcome is unpredictable based on what I found online.

Snopes did the homework on this for you. This is an urban legend - the drug causes mild disorientation. At higher doses it will make you physically sick. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/burundangascopolamine-warning/

Same is happening elsewhere - South Africa is another example: https://www.downtoearth.org.in/blog/africa/covid-19-in-africa-real-toll-may-be-thrice-the-official-figure-77825

I agree there is little joy to be found in banking service - but (to me at least) it is a necessary service. What you are really saying is that you want the bank to 1. safeguard your money, 2. make it available to you on demand at ATMs 24/7, 3. provide internet banking so you can pay bills, 4. provide an app on your phone so you can shuffle funds around on the go or deposit a check in your jammies, 5. give you state of the art cyber security to protect your personal account and transactions details. And you don't want to pay a dime in fees. Interesting point of view!!

Boom? Really??

Your expectations are too high, sir. But I suspect you know that already given your experience. Banking is a service - you need to pay for a service for it to be worthwhile. My 2c.

Come On! Somebody has to have something nice to say about Wells Fargo! So here goes: Nice stagecoach dude! It also explains why their service is so slow - they are still delivering via coach! They have been a disaster for me too - I was a Wachovia customer until Wells purchased them in 2009.

I totally gdt that... Ask them to send someone over to take your statement at home - blame Covid and your injuries. Maybe they will send over a cute young officer - eye candy may be just what you need to help break out of the post mugging funk!

I am sorry to hear you had this experience on your first trip to the bars. Do report it to the police - they can step up patrols etc. If you dont see more visible policing within a week, call thr mayor's office. Be the squeaky wheel. Goes without saying that you should cancel your cards today. Hope you feel better soon.

Well that is rather alarming! Glad I got the vaccine!!

I could not find whole wheat flour at the store today so have to make do with regular bread flour this week. Buns will be kinda pale this week! Definitely not Thai Buns!

Do you have a link? When I Google it I get a large list, starting with "Resident Evil Village"...

I have been getting a lot of use and value out of my bread maker too. The smell of freshly baked bread and fresh coffee takes me right back to my grandmother's kitchen at age 7! So many people started baking their own bread during Covid that the machines sold out and yeast/flour got very hard to find. I was glad I had stocked up on a good supply. Yesterday I used the machine to knead the dough for today's picnic. Made New England style hot dog buns. Bring on the extra relish!!

Something very similar is happening in other countries. For example I have friends in South Africa and they have an extensive private hospital, private doctor and private medical insurance network. They have not been able to secure the vaccine - the government has done everything in their power to make it impossible. It's very sad, really.

That is an interesting point of view. I didn't know "Daddy" so don't know what his wishes were. But given his support for the LGBTQ community I doubt he would be pleased if the site disappeared. He certainly recognized the value of the virtual community since he took on ownership responsibilities for it for so long.

To be clear, this appears to relate solely to stopping prosecution of the sex workers. Does not extend to clients of sex workers - their clients may still be prosecuted.
