What I Learned This Week at ActiveRain-October 14 to October 20, 2018.

 

I learn something new every day at ActiveRain! With this series, I try to highlight one post per day that gave me that lightbulb moment. It could be something techie, something about Real Estate or the other professions that I never knew, about a place, or about a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!

Admittedly, I'm partial to all things multi-gen but even if you aren't...yet...take a look at the stat they share.

No costumes this year, but I did make another ghost like I made last year and I'm working on a "creature" of sorts for the porch. I'll share pics when I'm done. Hopefully tomorrow!

You will find the book inspiring even though it is somewhat sad journey. He just wanted to get it published before he leaves us.

Hello Kathy Streib,  Great list as always for this Sunday.  The picture I text you was for a dinner party last night at my house,  I like that the best out of everything.

Oh, my, Kathy, what a lineup and I missed almost all of them. Too busy, I guess, with failing AC unit (for 3rd time), bath remodel, open houses in Sac, and all the other stuff I deal with going to Hawaii. Stressful!! And I bring it on myself sometimes.

I learned something new this week. Not personally, mind you. If you need to go to the emergency room because you have a medical emergency, if you call a friend to take you to the hospital, you will sit in that waiting room for hours. There is a first-class service to get you into to a hospital bed, though, which I did not know.

If it's life threatening and serious, you should call an ambulance. Nobody will wait in the waiting room. When a patient arrives by ambulance, they take you straight into the hospital, to a bed, and you get immediate attention. Of course, it costs like $750 to $1,000 but could save your life.

Hi Kathy I had read just one of these. Debb Janes's and it was my fave. I also liked Donald's. I met a lady this summer who survived stage 3 colon cancer. Many great reads for us
Have a great day.
