Posture from the car place again, by the bye. The A/C coolant still leaked after being refilled the other day. These leaks can be hard to find, depending on the car.

So tomorrow I leave for Ohio, and we’ve decided I’m taking Kristi’s car and she’ll use mine for the week. I can’t take a chance on being without the A/C, either on the road or driving around Cincinnati. Amazing to think that at one time we lived without it completely. Now, no way.

Post by: Jrand73 on May 08, 2018, 06:29:42 AM
WELL......we are having a tree taken down....an elm tree that has outlived its time....a silver oak topped and trimmed....and our crabapple tree trimmed.

Sunday when my mother was attending services, she was cornered by my sister in law and her daughter in law (married to my nephew)....who said they wanted the wood from the tree to burn this winter.  My mother just said....uh okay.

I of course was not so happy when I heard this development. In the first place, they are two of the laziest, ungrateful people I have ever known in my life....and I can't imagine they would move the wood in a timely manner.

The tree man, when I told him, said that if we keep the wood, he would just leave the trunk in the yard.  He doesn't cut it up. 

So.....this morning I told my brother that the tree man would be taking the wood and that said ingrates would not be getting it.  He said okay.....but I have a feeling we have not heard the end of this.

Jrand, in case you want to sing to the tree.  I think this has been linked on HHW before, but if you never saw it, it's new to you.  :)

Hosted by Frank Rich in 1976 - about  "Someone in a Tree"  (Frank Rich was about 25 and the film critic for the NY Post then.  (This aired as a 30-minute show on a Sunday morning.) 

Also features J. Weidman & S. Sondheim, and several cast members from the show.  The ending (of part 2 below) when they sing the song is a thrilling wind-up.

Someone in a Tree - Anatomy of a Song -Documentary hosted by a very young Frank Rich about the song "Someone in a Tree" from Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman's musical, Pacific Overtures, 1976

Part 1 of 2 - about 13 minutes

For the first time in six months I opened the linen closet door on a permanent basis.  I had closed it when Thatch came to live here because he was so small I feared if he got lost or stuck inside it we might never find him again.  Now that he's nine months old and the size of Annabelle when she arrived last September, I think we'll be okay.  Annabelle used to hide there and climb onto one of the shelves of sheets and towels to sleep.

It's funny watching him investigate all these new scents, nooks and crannies.

I am full of LONG stories lately...but:

My surgeon's nurse called yesterday to see if I had scheduled my colonostomy.....it's been one year today since my surgery.  I told her I tried but I keep leaving messages and they don't call back.  She told me Dr. Tsai would do it....but I told her I would.

I called the center....got a PERSON....and set it up for June 25.  She said she would send a prescription for the pre stuff and to get an enema.  I told her I couldn't have an enema....there is no....uh....place left to have one.

She argued with me...then said she would talk to the doctor.  An hour later the doctor's nurse called and asked me all kinds of questions about my....uh....place.  She asked me if I had put a finger there....and I said no....there's no there there.

She said she would talk to Dr. Buckley....called me back this morning....no enema.  I told I was glad she got to the bottom of it.

While laughing at your sense of humor, this is ridiculous and should be related to your doctor.  Enema for a colonoscopy after the regular prep-huh?

I am curious about the prep they do give you.  I am now 6 months behind schedule cuz I just can't face the prep again.  Some doctors do a fairly easy one vs the tons of liquid I am required to drink.  I saw a new doctor here and she expected me to drink even more, impossible.

This new prep, which should be out later this year, is in the news today.

Oh no, I think I am in trouble :)

I still have the old one if I want it.  My nails must were off the letters on a few of the keys cuz I seem to miss them after awhile.  Keith thinks this is a problem but I rarely look at the keys when I am typing.  Mostly I look to put in passwords.

I am full of LONG stories lately...but:

My surgeon's nurse called yesterday to see if I had scheduled my colonostomy.....it's been one year today since my surgery.  I told her I tried but I keep leaving messages and they don't call back.  She told me Dr. Tsai would do it....but I told her I would.

I called the center....got a PERSON....and set it up for June 25.  She said she would send a prescription for the pre stuff and to get an enema.  I told her I couldn't have an enema....there is no....uh....place left to have one.

She argued with me...then said she would talk to the doctor.  An hour later the doctor's nurse called and asked me all kinds of questions about my....uh....place.  She asked me if I had put a finger there....and I said no....there's no there there.

She said she would talk to Dr. Buckley....called me back this morning....no enema.  I told I was glad she got to the bottom of it.

I am a rather curious person when it comes to medical information and did a quick search.  It seems sometimes an enema is used to flush a stoma.  Maybe that was what she was talking about.

WELL......we are having a tree taken down....an elm tree that has outlived its time....a silver oak topped and trimmed....and our crabapple tree trimmed.

Sunday when my mother was attending services, she was cornered by my sister in law and her daughter in law (married to my nephew)....who said they wanted the wood from the tree to burn this winter.  My mother just said....uh okay.

I of course was not so happy when I heard this development. In the first place, they are two of the laziest, ungrateful people I have ever known in my life....and I can't imagine they would move the wood in a timely manner.

The tree man, when I told him, said that if we keep the wood, he would just leave the trunk in the yard.  He doesn't cut it up. 

So.....this morning I told my brother that the tree man would be taking the wood and that said ingrates would not be getting it.  He said okay.....but I have a feeling we have not heard the end of this.

Too bad your sister-in-law didn't have to cut the wood herself.

Jrand, in case you want to sing to the tree.  I think this has been linked on HHW before, but if you never saw it, it's new to you.  :)

Hosted by Frank Rich in 1976 - about  "Someone in a Tree"  (Frank Rich was about 25 and the film critic for the NY Post then.  (This aired as a 30-minute show on a Sunday morning.) 

Also features J. Weidman & S. Sondheim, and several cast members from the show.  The ending (of part 2 below) when they sing the song is a thrilling wind-up.

Someone in a Tree - Anatomy of a Song -Documentary hosted by a very young Frank Rich about the song "Someone in a Tree" from Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman's musical, Pacific Overtures, 1976

Part 1 of 2 - about 13 minutes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFkldZHOp_k

Part 2 of 2 - about 15 minutes

I did forget that last year the doctor put in an order for me to get my blood work done in March.  Tomorrow morning I will get it done.

I have never been told to wait until after the test to take my medication, yet my online search recommends I do just that.  So, I shall take my medication with me and take it right after the test has been done.  I could wait until I get home except I have to wait an hour to eat after taking the medications.

Pennsylvania
The name Hooterville approximates Hooverville, a term used for the shantytowns that emerged during the Great Depression. But it also approximates Hooversville, Pennsylvania, a bucolic town on railroad tracks in western Pennsylvania. Also, characters on Green Acres make trips to and from New York City on an occasional basis and appear to make the round trip in a day's time.
