    Coronavirus - Travel impacts II

    We are supposed to fly via JFK to Rome next Friday. We are definitely cancelling our trip. Our employers say we have to self-quarantine upon return if we go. We have kids in college and none of us could realistically do that, so we are not taking any chances of getting stuck. Hoping it slows...

    Iron is the New Cholesterol

    Thanks for posting that article. I was recently diagnosed with hereditary hemochromatosis, but do not have active disease; my iron saturation and ferritin are normal. I found all the potential connections interesting, especially given the HH and some of the potentially associated diseases...

    zenni Optical

    My husband is very happy with the glasses he got from Zenni. He did buy an online ruler and had me measure his pupillary distance. I think the ruler cost less than two dollars, and you hold it over your nose and measure to the center of your eye. The first pair of glasses he got from Zenni were...

    What new series are you watching? *No Spoilers, Please*

    We have just watched Modern Love and Fleabag, several episodes each. We stumbled on to Catastrophe, which appears to have four seasons. We found season one very funny, and will keep watching. The humor is great. Thanks for the other suggestions. We are new empty nesters and are enjoying our...

    How much do you tip hotel housekeeping?

    We usually tip $5 a day. I usually leave it each day, as I never know if the same person cleans the same rooms daily. We clean up after ourselves and hang/ re-use our towels.

    While we are discussing toenails....

    I had success with oral lamisil on two separate occasions years apart. My insurance would not pay for the new stuff, which my doc said is quite effective. I did get a bad rash over my trunk into the 2nd month, so perhaps I can try that if I need it in the future [emoji6]. I did get rid of shoes...

    Superior service from Vanguard

    Your wife is lovely. I’m happy to have a photo of her as I now include you both in my prayers. I’m so happy to hear that you found a sensitive soul at Vanguard who was so willing to help you. Best of luck.

    College tuition: How much is too much?

    We have been in this situation with three kids, and our youngest just made a decision to attend an out of state school like her older siblings. Each got merit scholarships, and each went back to the departments of interest speaking of their intended contributions and requested additional...

    Bloggers that cater to higher income folks

    Physician on Fire also started a FatFire Facebook group, and I believe there may have been a thread about other fat fire blogs or groups.

    Colonoscopy & Endoscopy at same time??!!

    Appreciate you guys sharing your experiences and talking some sense into me! If you ever need to do this (or either one separately), might be worth checking into what kind of drugs they will give you. That combo worked amazingly for me.. Awesome. Congrats on the good news. Now it will be...

    Colonoscopy & Endoscopy at same time??!!

    I have had them done in the same appt and was frustrated recently when insurance (Aetna) made me do them during two separate visits. I think the two-for-one is a much better deal for you as a patient. Good luck!
