The quiz was fun! I got 23 out of 30 correct, not bad I guess.

Yes, I did notice a few places where the contrast could be better. But I almost never take my iPad outside, so not a huge prob for me. There's also an "x" to close a window that's pretty much invisible until you roll a cursor over it on a laptop. And some other buttons that do the same . But overall it seems to be a good skin. Anybody else experimented with the skins? Found anything you love?

Canine Lyme and leptospirosis vaccines have the highest rate of side effects. And the need for them tends to be regional, so they aren't included in the core vaccine protocols and they get bumped to non-core and are administered when the risk of the disease outweighs the risk of possible side effects. Almost no vets around here do Lyme, but some do lepto even though it's not a very good vaccine. But incidence of lepto is on the rise, so it's better than nothing. I had Lyme in 2019 after a trip to our Door County house. Lots of deer in the area. Never saw a tick, but a few days after I got back I got the rash on my neck. My PCP thought I had some kind of heat or allergic rash and was going to send me off to the dermatologist, but I alerted him as to where I had recently traveled. He said he doubted it was Lyme but ordered the blood tests anyway. Came back positive big time (doc was pretty surprised at my immune response) and I went on doxycycline for three weeks. My rash subsided by half after the first dose of the antibiotic. Haven't had any problems since. Glad I didn't get chronic Lyme, which can be nasty.

@wtg

I’m so sorry. ️️

Thanks everyone! We’re both overjoyed.

@Quirt-Evans said in My experience w local piano movers: That was when the intensity of the phone calls to arrange the disassemblers seemed to increase. Good grief!! It's so frustrating when you have to push people to do their jobs right...

Wait, who are we talking about??

@CHAS Thanks so much for saying this! I hope you still enjoy it!!

Saida Wurie said it was her parents’ lifelong dream to participate in Hajj, the religious pilgrimage that brings Muslims from around the world to Saudi Arabia each year. They’d spent their “life savings” – $23,000 in total – on an all-inclusive travel package through a tour company registered in the state of Maryland. “They saved their whole lives for this,” she told CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield. But what was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime turned tragic this week, when Wurie learned that her mother Isatu Tejan Wurie, 65, and father Alieu Dausy Wurie, 71, were among the hundreds of pilgrims who have died during the extreme temperatures that have gripped the Persian Gulf country. www.cnn.com/2024/06/22/middleeast/american-deaths-hajj-heat-intl-latam/index.html

@Rontuner that’s good advice, thanks! Since the timer comes on Wednesday, I’m planning not to do anything to the room until I’ve lived with the tuning for a bit.

There's something so special about her face and expression. I would love to meet her.

That’s going to look really nice.

@DougG said in We need to start a group like this: actually, some of those pictures just look like me trying to get out of bed in the morning. Omg, me too. I swear, the first 15 minutes of being upright in the morning I look like a 100 year old lady.
