Hi Dave,

Diffrent strokes .... Hopefully I'm done with that. Fortunately there
wre no major side effects.

Good, and hopefully there will be (slow growing)no re

a currance.

Well, it was a small cancer. And squamous cell (slow growing) rather
than a melanoma.

Mine was DCIS--Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (IOW, in a milk duct). I have to
make sure I get the annual check up. Reason it was caught at an early
stage was that I'd put off my annual check up for 6 months, due to
moving from HI to GA. Steve had an appointment at the Fort Stewart
hospital so I called to see if I could get in that day for a mammogram.
If I'd gone in at the time I was supposed to, then again the next year,
it would not have been caught at such an early stage.

My portable O2 unit is in an over-the-shoulder carrier about the size
of a mid-sized ladies purse. Guessing at the weight I'd say 8 to 10 pounds.

You get the O2 in bursts; mine is a continuous flow. The unit is about half the size of my home unit but still takes up a good amount of
space.

Machs nicht aqs long as I get it.

Understandable.

How long is your battery good for on continuous flow? My portables are good for 4 - 5 hours on 3 liters. Continuous, I am told, takes more
power than "pulsed". I don't care so long as it works. And it's
waaaaaay more convenient than wrestling O2 cylinders into and out of
the car.

I really don't recall exactly off the top of my head. I know when we
flew out to Vancouver (flight to toronto, then 2nd one to Vancouver),
we were asked if the battery would last the length of the flight and we told them "yes". Didn't need the machine in flight but it had to fly in the cabin, just in case........ And yes, we've a friend who goes thru several cylinders a day now. He doesn't get out much any more.

If he's not getting around much anymore why would he go through the cylinders?
I keep on in the passenger side of my car. But, at 3 L flow setting
it's good for more than an hour. And around home I'm on the floor
standing conventrator.

I don't know full details but do know last year at the VFW Christmas
party he had to have someone go out and get a new tank; he commented
about going thru several whenever he's out. I presume he has a floor
model concentrator for home use.

Eeeeeewwwwww ... the Lob is sorta the McDonalds of chain seafood. If
they can't match or better that how do they stay in business. Our most popular seafood place is in an old gas station with a "cook shack" out front. If you want to "dine-in" there is a picnic table between the
shack and street.

That's the way to get it. Our favorite casual place is the seafood restaurant at the NC State Farmer's Market. You get a heaping full styrofoam box with hush puppies and a side, usually enough for 2 meals
or two people splitting the box. My favorite is a combo of shrimp and scallops; it's heavy on the shrimp but the scallops are the bigger ones and sweet!

Makes me wish we had something like that here.

If you ever visit the Raleigh area,...........

Chances of that are slim and none. And Slim's on vacation. Bv)=

Does he ever get off of vacation? (G)

Locally caught fish from Lake Springfield, Sangamon and Illnois

Rivers DD> are offered for sale .... dressed and ready for you to take
home and DD> cook. Or cooked (deep-fry) out front.

www.cartersfishmarket.com

Sounds like a place worthy of our patronage. (G)

You betcha. I try to arrive when the lines are short. Especially
during hot weather.

Some years ago we headed over to this place after working all day at a sewing/quilting expo. It was crowded and loud; I wanted someplace quiet
so we ended up elsewhwere.

As long as the food didn't send you to St. Elsewhere. Bv)=

No, it didn't. I needed the quietness after 3 full days of working the
expo so even tho the food wasn't quite what we'd wanted to get, having
the calmer atmosphere was worth it.
