Yes, yes I am familiar with military time. As shocking as this might 
sound, I can even tell time on a clock with hands.

Sounds like the bus service is crappy every where. Probably because of 
COVID.

I hope you don't have heart disease. But if you do, they have no way of 
attributing it to diabetes. It could be from smoking or genetics.

Correlation vs. causation.


My doctor sent me for a bone density scan just to have a baseline. I 
have moderate osteoporosis. so now I'm on treatment for that. They keep 
asking if my mother had it. I don't think she was ever tested. I read 
it's related to one's diet when they were a child. A downstream effect 
in my case of growing up poor.


Getting old sucks!
