Apparently the same rule applies in (some) hospitals in the US... Concerning transplants ..

Well that's another hour of my life I'll never get back. Hunting for those damned solar eclipse glasses that I've kept turning up when drawer rummaging and thought I'd never got around to binning. I eventually gave up and splashed out £3 for a pair from eBay.

Likely outcomes - not sure which is most probable

They won't arrive in time
They do arrive but I won't risk them because they look crap
I forget the eclipse
It's cloudy
Other

Regardless of any of this I will carefully put them way for the next one on top of the ones I couldn't find

Thanks for the reminder I have just ordered a pack from Amazon

Very sad for that poor man, and deplorable that they then had the nerve to ask for his organs.

How interesting..  I never knew that..

Quote from: Scrumpy on Yesterday at 06:10:25 PMWhat about a car boot !!! . I love them..
People are always on the lookout for cd's and dvd's..
Whatever you make you can donate to a local cat charity..
In my area I would put them on a table on my drive.. and sell them from there... Just put an 'OFFERS' sign up.Mention the charity..

Good idea Scrumps I'd need to drum up some help !

Quote from: Vlad on Today at 09:26:28 AMI am at that stage of life where the arrival of the bin man is the only sure way I know what day it is.

. . .  unless you can't remember which day he normally comes.

Another sunny morning here.  I think they say the other day there has been no significant rain here since May!

The nice fella who has helped me with a bit of heavy digging in the garden is coming this morning.

Then this afternoon I am hoping the Anglian Water bloke is finally coming  -  after  I put in a complaint about him not turning up the other day after I waited 7 hours for him!  A phone call would have been courteous if he couldn't make it.   

Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 09:28:16 AMThis was in the news a couple of days ago... It is recent..

I haven't read the story but maybe the denied op was back in the covid period, it was too late after and he has now just succumbed.

I can't believe that people would be denied needed treatment now. Doubly so as it seems the jabs did more harm than good and imo are only being offered still because they are doubling down on the failure.

Rita had a face lift and a tummy tuck
She would look fantastic, with a bit of luck
Now she can't smile try as she might
The surgeon left her skin too tight
