    Covid Vaccine ?

    Good point, and one I had not thought of. As I mentioned, I've only used the VA system at Hines in Chicago as a backup in a couple situations for specific, but non-threatening, situations that I felt I needed somewhat immediate care but was having difficulty with extended appointment wait...

    Covid Vaccine ?

    I also received a text message a few days ago from the VA facility that I'm registered at, Hines in suburban Chicago, about the same subject, along with an email and recorded phone message, all at the same time. In my messages, however, they stated that it was by prior appointment only., not...

    Blender

    Thanks for the response and input. Your comments confirm the reviews I read earlier today. Just placed an order with Amazon and should have the jar tomorrow. I tried to make some nut butters a few years ago using, I believe, the standard 4-sided jar. Didn't care for the results, and never...

    Blender

    Yes, it is. If I didn't already have a Blendtec I'd jump on that offer. Since I bought my Blendtec a long time ago, I've had the Wildside+ and standard 4-side square jars. What's the benefit/advantage of the Twister jar. I might be interested in getting one.

    GonnaSmoke, Sorry I didn't respond earlier. Had to catch a flight to Miami yesterday for business and didn't return until earlier today. On the front of my unit' base it says "Blendtec Total Blender" The tag on the bottom of the base says the same along with "Tom Dickson Model ES3" as well as...

    Glasses

    Did the same 14 months ago and I'm back to 20/20 also. Only use cheaters for reading, computer work, etc. Only problem with the cheaters was that I kept misplacing them so I ended up buying a 10-pack that I split between the house, 3 cars, and a brief case. I still get caught if I'm in a store...

    Covid Vaccine ?

    Chris, I understand, and respect, what you're saying about the J&J vaccine possibly being better against the new variants which have appeared in the U.S., but I tend to disagree somewhat since, at this point, there really is no hard data comparing all 3 producers equally on the question of...

    Blender

    GonnaSmoke, I don't remember the model number and I'm in my office now so I'll check when I get home. Also, I bought the blender quite some time ago and doubt that the same model is currently available. I'll check the Blendtec website to see if it is or if they offer something comparable. The...

    Blender

    That's interesting, noboundaries. When I got my Blendtec it came with both the Wildside cup and the Standard cup, which was used about 75% of the time. After about 8 years of pretty heavy use, something on the Regular cup went and all the blade would do is wobble in it's fitting. I contacted...

    Blender

    The last time I bought a blender was around 10 years ago and I had narrowed my choices to Blendtec and Vitamix. I read a number of comparison reviews with similar results. Vitamix would be marginally better in one area, and Blendtec would be marginally better in another. Also, both were similar...

    Texas Is BACK!!

    PPG1, First off, I'm not itching for an argument, and I don't think anyone else here is either. I simply questioned the support for the 6%/31,635 numbers you stated. I checked the site you provided, and it's one I refer to frequently. As you know, the tables show those who died by Covid-19...

    All this wagyu Talk

    Some time ago I discovered a prime grade rib roast at the bottom of a chest freezer that had been there 17 months, very well sealed. I thawed and cooked it and it was perfect. I'm inclined to think that thawing your precious brisket, then smoking or cooking it by some other method followed by...

    Covid Vaccine ?

    To me, your approach is, far and away, the best to take, Take whichever vaccine you are offered as soon as you can get it. This is still a global health crisis and now's not the time to take the luxury of debating the varioua merits and demerits of the 3 current vaccines that have been proven...

    Texas Is BACK!!

    PPG1, That's quite a claim you make when you say that only 6%, or 31,635 Covid19 deaths in the US have been caused by Covid19 only. I'm pretty familiar with the CDC website you refer to and have never seen such a claim. Maybe you would be kind enough to share the bona fide documentaion that...

    Electric shaver.

    I understand. When my wife told me the price I was shocked, but never having purchased an electric shaver before, I didn't have any point of reference on what they cost and, at that point, I didn't care. Also, I figured that since my surgeon recommended an electric shaver, I declared the...

    Electric shaver.

    With around 60 years of shaving experience I never used an electric shaver until around 18 months ago following major surgery that called for, among many things, a deep neck incision running from ear to ear resulting in significant, though temporary, contours and depressions that prohibited the...

    Texas Is BACK!!

    Dan Patrick. He's the guy who, some time back, essentially said that the elderly, who didn't have much time left, should sacrifice themselves to CV19 for the long-term benefit of their children and grandchildren.

    Texas Is BACK!!

    I agree with Chasdev in that TX Gov. Abbott's decision to go full-open with no mask mandate was motivated by his desire to deflect the public's attention from debacle of the recent loss of electrical power and water in most of state. Initially he blamed The New Green Deal and AOC, then came...

    Covid Vaccine ?

    I got my 2nd shot (Pfizer) Sunday, 2/28, and my wife got hers yesterday, 3/1. I had zero issues with either shot but my wife, not surprisingly, complained a lot about her arm being very sore both times because, well, that's the way she is.
