@wilmslow That's such a helpful idea. I always have a cup of tea to sip when reading just before bed. My wife's usually conking out about the time I get to bed so she can't help me, but as I'm walking from the kitchen to the bedroom, only about 60 feet, my arm will jump up as if it has a mind of its own splashing tea up into the air, burning my hand and arm, and spilling tea all over the carpet. For some reason, it seems to happen most frequently with my tea; or maybe it's the scalding that stands out. I'm going to check out getting a travel mug online. Thanks.

It eases some of the pain I got from recently being denied compensation for Agent Orange exposure while serving in Vietnam. FND, says the Veterans Administration, is not a presumptive cause, nor in any way due to connection to my having served in the Marines, both at Camp Lejeune, where we were exposed to toxic drinking water or Agent Orange exposure. Meanwhile, they're rubber-stamping just about every claim that's coming in from the much younger military "enlistees" who are being "schooled" as to how to play the system. Vietnam draftees are still getting the shaft by our wonderful government. At least I'm grateful; I'm old, and won't have to be around to see what's going to happen to those living in the future US of A.
