I just returned from my morning walk and will now go to Lowe's to order tile for the bathroom.

Hmm... Watching "The View"... They just showed the footage of David Hasselhoff's inebriated state that that his own daughter filmed... Because he asked her to. Apparently, Mr. Hasselhoff who is a recovering alcoholic asked his daughter to tape him the next time he got drunk. We he did, and so did she. Truly sad.

That's a great question about THE AMAZING RACE.

I'd pair Dear Reader Laura and Sandra. Don't know why really . . . .

Well...

Maybe Señor Discretion.

Himself?

And, apparently, they're trying to get that production going again sometime this fall. Hmm...

Well, those HHW vibes came though once again and I got the best possible birthday present.

They are going to move Mom down to the Hospice House in Sun City where she can stay for at least 2 months. I will be able to vist and stay the night if I want to and the dogs are still welcome.

I was so upset that she might have to go to a regular nursing home where I couldn't stay with her when she really needs me.

They are going to move her tomorrow so I am taking tomorrow off to go with her so she won't be upset about going to another strange place. I regret that I will have to start to go back to work and won't be with her every night but I am so grateful that things worked out this way.

I was so worried and upset. My chest and left arm were killing me. I felt like my arm was a lead pipe. I called my doctor (again) and was told they weren't set up to deal with that kind of pain and need to get an ER to to evaluated. Well, that's not going to happen any time soon. I know if I go to the ER I'll be there all night.

I'm home right now because I had to let the dogs out of the house because of the stroms we had last night. I am going to go lay down and have a nice nap.

I hope it is a pretty day there in the city today, and that you can have some fun. Wish I could go to the play reading tonight......

Wonderful news, DR Danise!!!

Now, to make your life even more stress-free...

How quickly can you get that doggie door installed?

I wonder if any DR has experience with how hard it is to train the dogs to use it?

DR Danise -

I know it doesn't help any, feeling so completely overwhelmed, but... Listen to the professionals. They've seen all this before, and they'll have helpful suggestions on options and navigating the system.

I know you can't help but worry, but until you have a sense of what the choices and options really ARE, there's not a lot you can do.

{{Hugs}} and prayers to you!!

Thank you very much. I'm just so glad it all worked out.

Birthday thank yous to DRL, George, Ginny, Ben, Jennifer, JRand56, Dan (the Man), Elmore, Jose, Matt H, MusicGuy, FJL and of course, my Dear Uncle, Der B.

I hope I didn't miss anyone!

Once they move Mom I won't be able to vist like I did but I am going to look into having a doggie door installed maybe this weekend.

Considering how big Bear is, I'm just wondering if it wouldn't be easier to just teach him how to turn the handle!

I'm not joking either.

Danise · « **Reply #165 on:** May 07, 2007, 08:30:49 AM »

Well, I was up most of last night so I'm kinda tired right now. I think I'll go and lay down for a bit.

Talk with ya'll later.

I'm off today. Then an afternoon session tomorrow. Then, as of now, I'm free the rest of the week. -When it rains, it pours. When it doesn't, it doesn't.

However, I think I'm doing to the final dress of Encores' Stairway To Paradise Wednesday night, and then I'm thinking of heading down to Fairfax to spend some time with my family. I need some "Uncle Jojo" time especially since I missed my niece/god-daughter's first birthday the other week. Then, most likely, I'll head further down to Richmond for a few days. I want to check out my parents' new house, and Steve also bought a new grand piano a few weeks ago, and I just have to see how he squeezed that into his living room.

DR Danise - Is there anyone at the Hopsice who could give you a quick once-over? Or at least a BP check?

I just finished my morning cup of coffee.

Off to the restroom now.

Anthony Quinn did not win the Best Actor Oscar in 1964; Rex Harrison did for MY FAIR LADY.

I think BK was just testing us to see who was reading his column.

To that I'll add...."Gerisol" ? I remember "Geritol".

And who remembers "Serutan"? Remember, "Serutan is 'Natures' spelled backwards!"

I can think of only two maother/daughter teams (no counting any on the family edition.) I think DRs Laura and Sandra would make a good team.

For the relationship team, I would pick DRs Tpunk and Rodzinski. I would have picked Ann and Jed because of their seniority here, but they're getting married this week and I think TAR could be a potentially disasterous way to spend a honeymoon.

If I had my own pick for a teammate, I would choose DR CillaLiz for her brains and stamania and good company. But I think I would drive her crazy because--typical guy--I would hate to stop to ask for directions anywhere ("JUST READ ME THE DIRECTIONS ON THE MAP!!!!")

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #173 on:** May 07, 2007, 08:56:13 AM »

I may be incorrect about this, but it sure seems that today's forum has more one-liners per page than most previous days.

At any rate, catching up is a breeze.

Boy, the Actifed must have made me drowsy last night. Gerisol?

bk · « **Reply #175 on:** May 07, 2007, 08:59:22 AM »

I misread the Anthony Quinn thing - blame it on Jose or Rio or my Youth or the Bossa Nova, but don't blame me.

MusicGuy · « **Reply #176 on:** May 07, 2007, 08:59:54 AM »

good morning dear Esteemed, rested, slightly-drugged, and sultry BK --

I hope that your sleep was restful and restorative, and that your day is wonderful and fun.
