My, you sure are a valued Costco customer. Must be getting a BIG rewards check at the end of the year.

A lot of media hype about the coming hurricane that is still not a hurricane. Too many people in a panic. Lines at the gas pumps. People grabbing water jugs and staples at the market. I'm sure the hurricane shutters will be going up today. Yesterday they said that the unnamed (at the time) storm was headed directly toward us and would be a powerful Cat 3 or worse hurricane. I say that is a GOOD thing, when several days out they are predicting a direct hit in my area. They are (almost) always wrong. I do believe this storm will drift somewhat west and miss us. Possibly headed toward TBoneTX! LOL I am mostly prepared. Generators where started and run yesterday. Chainsaw was run yesterday also. Finished stocking up on gas. Just need to secure all items in the pool area and will wait a day or so to shutter the windows and door at the office pending more accurate track prediction. May need to make one more trip to the store to replenish the beer supply.

I can see she had much better dental care than most Brits.

Hey, I love boobs just as much as the next guy, but... Oh, that's a guy?? 🤮 On second thought, that might make a heck of a Fantasy Fest costume.

👍 On a side note, I always think of you and chuckle when I hear Ric Flair's new commercial for the ED treatment called "Mt Everest".

I really should say thank you. I don't feel a day over 72 either.

LOL But it was a long time until the 49th state was admitted!!

Same here, but I do have you beat by a little. When I was born there were only 48 state.

Could there be a connection here? Get a flowbee. And of course we know about the child support scam. Experienced that with all my ex wives.

Holiday weekend is just about here. Had planned to be in the Keys resting, boating, and fishing BUT... My wife's daughter and her husband and her two terrorist children, boys ages 3 and almost 5, are coming for the weekend. Ugh. They wanted to come down to the Keys with us but after the last time they came down I said never again. Dirty feet on the new dining room cushions, spilled food, etc, etc. Better they come to the house where there are several acres of land to play on, pool, and not far from the beach. It's the little ones third birthday this weekend so there will be a party. I plan to drink heavily. Poor kids were born in the US of a Russian mother and British father. I wonder why they act like hellions?

While I am not considering an EV anytime soon, I am glad others are buying them. It will reduce the growing demand for gasoline and keep a healthy supply for those of us driving ICE vehicles.

Of course there are a lot of things to consider, but this is number one. Then you should consider where you want to live. Do you want a climate similar to what you are used to in Canada, or are you looking for something different like the heat and humidity we have here in FL? Are you looking for a big city, a country setting, or something in between? Most employers would want an interview to see if you are a good fit for their practice. Most smaller offices are looking for someone that fits in and can be expected to be around for a long while. What setting are you looking for? Small private office or large corporate office? I'll bet the corporate offices will be more willing to take a chance on someone new that is not established in the area. Compensation negotiations. I hope you have given this some consideration already.

I'm in Naples, FL. My son in law is in Ft. Myers, FL. I do believe the NERB or ADEX (one in the same) are valid for licensure in FL.

Please don't even talk about this yet. We are not to the peak of hurricane season, and I've been thru some really bad ones that came late.

The democratic candidates in the election hope so.

Didn't I just note this last week? And again they are sending me this garbage. "Your response is required by law". Another one for the circular file. If you don't see me on VJ for some time you know the Feds have come and put me in the slammer. Who is going to bail me out? LOL

Once they have their green card I'd be happy to "help out".

Once you get your work authorization or green card, you will need to take a state licensing exam or perhaps a regional exam that covers several states. The dental licensing has changed a bit here in Florida over the last several years. I am not familiar with an American board exam unless you are talking about the written exam. Did you also take an exam on live patients? If it works out for you let me know as my son in law and I are both in need of dental hygienists (we are both dentists). Probably the same in most states.

They still do that by truck there? Years ago here they used DC-3's early in the morning flying at treetop level spewing diesel smoke and insecticide mix. Always sounded like an invasion. One morning I was on the roof doing a repair and one flew by at very close range. Pilot waved to me as he went buy. Now they do it even earlier with helicopters. Silent.

Are you paying the vet bill for her? That would be so nice of you!

At my office I get those required US Census Bureau letters also. Always says it is mandatory and blah, blah, blah, fines for not participating blah, blah, blah. Got one two weeks ago. I throw them in the trash.

Hooray! As of a little after 3:00pm today we have AC! Was up to 87 in the house again before they finally got it working. Going to sleep well tonight!

Could it be that the Big Guy is hooking up Nancy to the Chinese funded gravy train?

Todays update. AC guy showed up @ 11:30 to check to see if I had indeed picked up the right part. He verified it is correct. Said he will be back later... Time for another beer. Got to keep hydrated in this heat and humidity.

LOL. My AC guy that picked up the needed part that was not available here called me last night to see if we have air. Not yet, but... Then he says "You won't believe this but I just broke a tooth. I need to see you as soon as you are back in the office" Lucky I did not pay for that part yet.
