Your days of (blank) are over. Have medical types or others filled in that blank to your face?

[UTUSN]

One physician's assistant or whatever said, "Your days of wearing flip flops are over." She also, feeling her oats to *DO* something/anything, changed my years' long prescriptions with fish oil, so trendy, as opposed to anti-(cholesterol/triglicerides? ) drugs. Later my all knowing internet informed me that fish oil adds risk factor for (something or other). She also said about the flip flops, "I like the *look*" - uh, we dudes don't talk "the look".

*** By the bye, an esteemed Lounge-teer also is vociferous on the subject of flip flops, insisting on their being SHOWER SHOES!1

Or what about: "Your days of eating anything you want are OVER!1" - said by my otherwise pliable doctor.

1. Barlean's citrus sorbet

you will try others and be mortified at the cost, but trust me.

[UTUSN]

3. I sincerely appreciate the thought, but went back to my old doctor's drugs - and he's a D.O!1

Here's MY filling in that blank: My days of health foods and trendiness are *OVER* since the '70s!1

I've rid myself, step by step/slowly I turn, of tons of stuff, been winnowing stuff out, now down to barely NOTHING.

*** One of my cousins is a pharmacist, and his quiet, wryness was to say, "I'm all in favor of DRUGS!1"

[Kali]

10. oh, I thought you were being taken off the drugs and on to fish oil

yeah, I have been taking it for about a year and a half and am not noticing any improvements in whatever I am supposed to be improving. will stick it out a few more months until annual and ask what doc thinks.

[UTUSN]

13. Yes, that P.A. took me off the drugs, then I took her off my case and went back to my doc & his drug

[Kali]

15. ah, OK

well, MFM, via Mike Landwher always said...take the drugs!

I think they mostly meant the pain relievers but hey, it still counts.

[Kali]

2. oh, and they are lucky I wear the flip flops at all

[UTUSN]

4. Begging the question, what *do* you wear, or, as opposed to *what*?!1

Plus, you-know-who (topic: flip flops) might hit the roof.

[sprinkleeninow]

8. I have 27 pairs in an assortment of colors.

[UTUSN]

11. I do everything in them - mowing, weedeating. Use a pair till they bust. One busts, limping.

How did the Greeks/Romans do all their stuff in sandals?!1

[sprinkleeninow]

17. Livin' your best life. 👍

'Living My Best Life'~ Clean version

Well rubber flip flops are dangerous. I know first hand. But thong sandals give more support.

I said thong SANDALS!1

Not skivvies. 🤣

[sprinkleeninow]

20. Whutz a wee deat? A tiny deat?

I needed to add a 🥰 to my frivolous remark.😇

[Kali]

12. I go barefoot as much as possible

(leather) flip flops for town errands, hiking sandals if working in rocks or stickers or super hot conditions, really cheap plastic slip-ons to get to pool when sidewalk is 1000 degrees.

[UTUSN]

14. Since my retirement (years) only flips. Can barely even walk in closed wear anymore.But not barefoot

[Kali]

16. oh god I hate shoes

hate the work and time of putting them on, hate how hot my feet get. I swear I am some kind of alien that breathes through my feet!

[sprinkleeninow]

18. Did you mean retirement years or your retirement yeeaarrsss ago.

😘

[sprinkleeninow]

5. "Your days of being voluminous are over."

But not quirky and loud.

[UTUSN]

7. Thought you might voluminate!1

[sprinkleeninow]

9. I could feel y'all were anticipating a rejoinder from moi.

[sprinkleeninow]

19. There's utter crap on TV.

[UTUSN]

22. Oh, thought you dropped in for loving us, not because there was nothing but crap on TV.

Will be turning in soon, don't crank it up!1

[sprinkleeninow]

23. UT the USN is gonna rack soon!1

I do luv yas.

Nitey nite!

[sprinkleeninow]

24. It's 2 fracken o'clock already.!1 If you're Eastern.

[UTUSN]

25. "turning in" - not: "rack". - Rack is a noun not a verb.

[sprinkleeninow]

26. Our senior class prez always said 'rack'. He got it from his bro in the military.

Awright, mon chere, turn in. Hit the hay. Hit the sack. Rack. 😘

[sprinkleeninow]

30. I was in the Dr's waiting room one time sitting near

an elderly woman. Her daughter was handling appointments etc for her. The daughter came up and sat down beside her and said your diet has to have less salt, you’re going to have to give up bacon. I thought the poor woman was going to cry. She said, “but bacon…” in this real sad voice. Daughter reached over and started patting her mom’s hand.
