OK, did you see where I said "I don't keep prepared meals in the freezer?" I
do not like drop in visitors, unless they're my immediate family (but they
usually have the good manners to call first so it doesn't really happen
much) Would your friends just drop into the hospital without an app? Hardly,
so they know they're coming and could easily call you to confirm that it's
convenient. You enjoy it, and that's a good thing for you, I don't. To each
their own.
