    The only one I use and that works for me is Voltaren Gel. (diclofenac sodium topical gel) Now available over the counter. I still get mine via Rx and VA pays for it. My wife got some of the generic version and broke out in a rash from it. Not so with the name brand.

    Chazsbetterhalf I too get prescription diclofenac prescription. I did try voltaren over the counter but found there is a difference in the two. On thing was the voltaren seemed thinner and just did not do as well but was cheaper.

    Hey y’all
    I’m excited about finally getting to pull out some saws and do some cutting tomorrow. It’s been awhile since my saws have had a photo op. First I have to go cut the mil’s grass. She had surgery Thursday to get her ankle screwed together after breaking it.

    For real, I strongly dislike wasting valuable firewood time mowing my own grass. She is tough as a pine knot and will probably try to mow it before I get there.

    The VA supplies me with Systane (original long lasting) seems to do the trick, Just my eyes are blurry for a while after I use it. I have dry eyes. have macular degeneration. They tell me it is age related.

    Orioles showed up today and I put out the grape jelly feeder. Now they are happy.
    Saw a red fox walking up our driveway just before supper today. Don't see them out during the day very often. No time for a picture.

    I have 950 sq/ft. But, there is a lot of window area to account for. That unit I have going into the office is specifically for my comfort 10-13 hours a day as it is a small room with way too many heat giving sources in it to take the chance I wouldn't be comfortable if the air doesn't circulate well. If I don't need to use that 1/2ton, great, but it's always nice to have the option.

    Although from prices I see, Maine is a bit cheaper than NH (stricktly speaking price-wise), it's nice to have a range to go off of. Do you have a 1 ton or a 1.5ton?

    Try something with Arnica in it. I have use Arnicare with good results. Besides working well, it also no scent from Amaz*n, but it can be found at local stores too). Some of your more popular OTS creams have started including arnica, but I am very sensitive to scents and most of those make my eyes water.

    We have a mini split, put in by Walley's here in Nashua. 48K BTU/hr outside unit, two units inside at 12K BTU hr, a Daikin system. We have 1750 square feet and are plenty cool in the summer. It cost about $7500. You can get cheaper Chinese units, but they are hard to get parts for, we have heard from a friend.

    Another freeze. This has been a really weird spring for many.

    Cut grass for the first time this year. 99 wanted me to wait, but I said once I'm finished, you'll see how it needed it.


    She said "Thank you" :D

    Got closet shelves installed and floor ready for hardwood today. Not as much as I was hoping for but forward progress is always good.
