Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Got to 'test ride' my new Bike jeans today on the commute into work. They weren't as breezy as i thought they might be (although i was wearing base layers), and i don't feel as exposed as i thought i might.
Getting my head around the safety level (AAA) helped me to feel more at ease with them. Understanding the protection level they do offer, should that be called in to action! |

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Finally had my multi-parametric MRI last night. What's a mpMRI I hear you ask? It's like a regular MRI only you have a needle in your arm, that was a bit of an anticlimax after a name like that.
The steel town whose name isn't allowed by the censors (starts with Sc and ends in thorpe) hospital has very little parking so I arrived 2 hours early and, of course, there was ample parking. I go in anyway and find out there's been a "no-show" and I get the scan immediately. Win! For those who haven't had an MRI - it's like lying perfectly still in a metal sewer pipe that is slightly bigger than your body (and I'm small) whilst somebody hits it with a heavy hammer at varying rates for 45 minutes. They at least used to you play music over headphones but because of covid (cleaning) you now just get earplugs. 45 minutes of hammer percussion gets a little boring. _________ On another (temporary) smile, I received a $1400 cheque from the US Treasury department as an "Economic Impact Payment". Unfortunately, it's a mistake since I submitted an I-407 form which is a voluntary surrender of my Green Card which disallows me from the stimulus payment. The minor gripe is that if I don't tell them they'll send another in 6 months and it can get a little ugly after that. You can phone them, or write to them but no electronic communications - welcome to 1980. _

Thanks, I got so carried away in chasing to get the scan, I'd forgotten why I needed one.
