I think the landlords should have thought it out a bit more carefully though. They have made some allowances but insufficient.

I haven't been to exercise class in a while either, first because it was cancelled for a while due to the construction and then because I was with Matt in the hospital or doctors or something, so I expect I will feel it when I start again.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-47254806906418759532015-10-08T22:22:38.599-04:002015-10-08T22:22:38.599-04:00I'm sure Matt is happy to be bowling again.

I hate it when I have to skip my pilates classes because the activity seems to make me feel better - athough I do find the repetition somewhat boring - so I can imagine he was feeling something similar.

The store owner has posted directions all over the place. Done a really good job but I thought we were in a maze.

Spoke to the workers tonight, they assured me they would still be there tomorrow. As I keep saying, paying for parking is a lot cheaper than paying for medical treatment. I actually don't know what that would cost here, but we personally have extra insurance so wouldn't pay the whole whack. Mind you it still costs us quite a lot of money.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-49715221939229653602015-10-08T13:43:21.272-04:002015-10-08T13:43:21.272-04:00Hard for me to understand why she didn't get i...Hard for me to understand why she didn't get it right there on the stop, if she saw there was more.

So sorry she didn't get it all the first time...Wow, and Yay that Matt can bowl again! A crown for one tooth here in the states is over $2000 Jo. The medical establishment and the chemical establishment are in cahoots here, I am convinced. Both make major money off of all of us: chemicals causing cancer and the medical est. making money from all these sick people. And we're a bunch of sheep being lead to the slaughter, not only from big business, but, well, I won't even start!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658507579160418855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-62001506612078309452015-10-08T09:06:45.726-04:002015-10-08T09:06:45.726-04:00They certainly do JoJo.

We didn't this week, just suddenly we were barred from the elevator lobby on our floor.<br /><br />Well I moan about parking fees but we don't have to pay for the treatments and right now Matt is horrified about dental costs in the States, Saw something on TV yesterday, woman being charged $4,000 for simple procedures.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-31767142096163594072015-10-08T09:02:35.514-04:002015-10-08T09:02:35.514-04:00It will be nice to have all the skin cancer over a...It will be nice to have all the skin cancer over although I guess he can still get more.

What a pain and inconvenience. I'm also surprised that you have to pay to park at the hospital. That's not right. All our hospital parking is free....which probably explains why you can never, ever find a space. At least at the one in Hyannis.
