What did you learn today? Part II

Bebonang said:
Don't forget about Dan Haggerty. He had cancer for long time too, I think. He passed away yesterday (January 15, 2016). So all three of them had cancers. That is why Cancer sucks.

I have cancer, too. I went to cancer surgeon's clinic to make plans for me to have surgery to remove breast cancer. It will be on my left breast. It was tiny but all ready fill up the wall of the duct which was away from the nibble. This wall will remain stable as it is slow before it had chance to break the wall and that will spread all of the cancer in my breast. I will have surgery on March 15, 2016. After surgery, I will have to go through radiation, not chemotherapy. This is different for my breast cancer. Chemotherapy is suppose for the body not for breast cancer. So I am learning from the surgeon doctor about it. I haid ASL interpreter to help me understand what the doctor and the doctor's assistant explained to me about the procedures. So I will be going through 3 steps before surgery like bloodwork, MRI, and needle location under my breast and then surgery. I don't know if I will stay in the hospital after surgery or recovery room. Will find out more about that. :(

I think the whole story about the therapist is not true. Either that or the therapist him/herself is nuts.

I believe her on that front but apparently that therapist only has one view and a one dimensional view at that of depression.

Depression is 'treatable' not 'cureable' - at least with clinical/chemical depression. Even with situational depression at best I'd say 'treatable' instead of cureable.

Wonder what her views are on other mental health issues.... Not sure I wanna know :hmm:
 
I learned that every Chinese food restaurant around town is closed on Mondays. I have no idea how I learned that just now. I must've never ordered take-out on a Monday.
 
I learned my liquid eyeliner doesn't last long it smears .

I don't know specifically about the ones Alley is speaking of, but it is customary for a lot of restaurants of all kinds to close on Monday. They take the day to recuperate as they are open w/e and they need to clean up a bit and give the help some time off.

I don't think you can get any thing but pizza and fast food in my town. We've tried going out to eat on a Monday only to find closed on Monday signs on the doors.
 
We could get 12-16" of snow this weekend. Thank goodness the temps will not be too cold (thought I do prefer fluffy snow to wet snow) and next weeks temps should melt a lot of the snow we get.

I think for the reason Annie said.

I live in a town/city of 25k although technically I'm out in the country. We have everything I can think of for fast food and lots of good restaurants. We are right off Interstate 35 so we get lots of tourist traffic. But it's only the Chinese food places that are closed Monday. Probably just a day of rest, which I totally don't blame them for since many are family-owned/operated. I just didn't find that out til this week.

Monday can be a slow day for some restaurants , my daughter worked at one while in high school. She said Mondays can be slow , this could be one reason why .
 
Chinese restaurants traditionally closed Mondays because they were one of the few open Sunday due to not following Christian sabbath practices.
 
Oh! :ty: Annie, AC, WDYS and Botti! Well, guess this is what I learned today!

I do know a couple of places that are closed on Mondays here - one is the dog bakery and another is a human bakery.

same thing here... all korean barber shops close on Wednesday so if I need to get one.. I have to go to American place but our chinese restaurants open everyday.
 
Just learned that the country club where I was to go for lunch on Saturday (with widows and widowers from my church) has rescheduled our lunch to the following week due to the storm that's coming Friday night. I'm happy because I had volunteered to pick up some of the others if they were concerned about driving in the snow. Of course, when I made that offer the predictions for 12-18" had not been made yet.
 
I learn. Angrier. Bowie lift big brother no wonder David glad be rid of her,the best mate of kaedazian also gone what at wonder he was said 300 people each time a Kardashian. Went out.all lowest denominator Americans gone now the lowest denominator Brits to go and they worse than American this year
 
I learned that South Carolina surpassed Alabama to become 23rd most populous state.

Hi Reba, congratulation to you and anyone from South Carolina. :lol:

yup, Bebonang, two different bakeries and they both smell so good!
I used to get birthday cakes for my first pair of dogs at the doggie bakery.
My first Rottie was diagnosed with kidney failure at 2 years of age and we were devastated. We did many things that really focused on quality of life with her and just having fun with her, and one of the things we did was get her birthday cakes. We took a picture each year of her handmade cake with the words "Happy Birthday, Cagney" on it. And we took pic.'s of her having her cake, so we could look back at them. She lilved to be 8 and 1/2 with kidney disease and didn't look sick until the very end.

The dog bakery is a small, family-run, local place and I like to support that, too. We still go there to get treats but my current dogs eat no grain <and since cakes have flour in them...> so we get meaty treats there usually.

:)

There is a bakery not far from my condo and I wish it was close all the time b/c I can't eat sugar anymore . I can smell chocolate cakes baking if the wind blow the right or wrong way . :giggle:
