And the word of the day is: VOLANT!

DR GINNY - vibes for today, and from your photograph, I think you got your new equipment JUST IN TIME.....
There has also been an ongoing controversy about whether work for hire should be 1099 or W2. One of the most vocal participants is a woman who singlehandedly put an end to the arts series I hosted because she filed for unemployment after having done a one night gig for us.

We have idiots like this around here as well......
Before I go...Just wanted to tell Jane that I do think the Hypnotherapy is helping. I feel calmer inside but it is almost part of what is making me realize that I am not happy with where I am. I'm working on that--applying for anything I can find to get me away from this job and just hoping to find a happy group to work with again.
Well I suppose since I don't know the all of the laws, I will just say that I have always been paid on a 1099 for my theatre work. I guess my thought is....if all you get is a one-night gig a couple of times a year, you might look for other employment or move to a place where your talent is in more demand.
I was seething with jealousy all last evening reading the tweets of people who were attending the Public Theater 50th Anniversary gala performance of ROMEO & JULIET. But then I saw the pictures this morning and saw that the performers were not in period costumes and I thought "meh." When I see Meryl play Juliet, I want her in a muslin skirt at least...

Since Libby Appel is gone DR JANE....chances for period costumes are better.

The new Michael John LaChiusa, "Queen of the Mist," is being released today.
I know that will provoke a couple of yawns.
I don't know if the plays are worse, just that the popularity of non-traditional costumes hasn't "improved". I put improved in quotes because people seem to like it this way.

My feelings about the Shakespeare plays for our festival. I now ask if they will be in traditional costume before purchasing tickets.

Let me know if you find out where that place might be.

I ordered it, but I also ordered another CD at the same time that won't be released until next week, so I probably won't get it until next week's CD is released. I love Mary Testa, so I'm looking forward to it.
Am I the only person who thinks there is something wrong with these online schools that say they will train you to be a psychologist?

It has been my experience that when someone says "we need to talk" it means that they want to talk and they want me to listen.
Blah, blah, blah ... Don't talk. Send me your deepest thoughts in an email of no more than 140 characters. And include any subtext or urtext as needed. Just don't exceed the 140 characters.Am I the only person who thinks there is something wrong with these online schools that say they will train you to be a psychologist?
I don't know, TCB, but let's talk through your feelings about this.
Now, when you say "talk" do you mean actual verbal discussion, or do you mean a sharing of ideas?

Talk to versus talk with.

We are still supposedly going from 70 today, which is all we attained thanks to the persistent overcast, to 93 tomorrow and higher on Thursday.

LOL. I wasn't aware such schools existed.

It's raining a bit here in Tumwater. I like it. :)
I just got off the telephone with my medical insurance company. We have decided that I don't owe $35,000.00 for my hospital stay in April.
I have to say it's heartening to read about Ginny and Cilla and the fact that at least one of their parents is still around, something that DW Wife Betsy also shares (both of hers are still alive). My parents have been dead for so many years that it always surprises me to meet people in my general age group whose parents are still with us. Love them while they're here!

I agree with both of you.
Yes, back in NY for four days around August 7 - may be in Washington around the 13th, too, but that's not for sure.

Well, there was some miscommunication and the HVAC guys will be here Wednesday and Thursday, not Tuesday and Wednesday as we'd expected. Not looking forward to sleeping without AC tonight and I'm definitely not cooking dinner.
My Mother had an ultrasound on her leg today to rule out blood clots and, apparently, doesn't have anything that warranted admission to the hospital (a routine with which I'm very familiar...). She also had 3 vials of blood drawn, with some difficulty, for some tests ordered by her new primary care physician. It went pretty smoothly, but she was ready for a nap when I got her home.

It did seem like an excessive amount. Did they give you the correct sum due? I hope it is now reasonable.

We are supposed to get hot summer weather beginning tomorrow.
According to different sites it will be between 94 and 97!
It's been beautiful the past few days. I don't deal well with hot weather. I will be hunkered down in the bedroom with the AC blasting. I will be reading
Dazzler - The Life and times of Moss Hart by Steven Bach
and
Born Round: The Secret History of A Full-time Eater By Frank Bruni
TOD - I think THE BIG CHILL falls into this category. The irony is that they all think they know each other based on being in college together (Michigan - Go, Blue!), but as they spend the weekend after their friend's funeral together their differences are revealed. Then, in the end, they seem to come back together. One of my favorite movies!
$600 is better than $32,000. Unless you were talking about a tax refund. Then $32,000 would be better.

Yes, $32,000.00 would be a very nice tax return. And $600.00 is a very nice hospital bill.

LOL. I looked at the first post and said NO! Funny too, when you first posted you talked to your insurance company & didn't owe the money I scrolled down to make sure there wasn't a punch line prior to commented. :)

Was the bill from the doctor as reasonable?

Well, TCB, it was a very nice dust storm. But it wasn't like the ones we had last year.

Well, that is what the hospital originally told me woudl be my share of the bill. $200.00 a day copay for the first three days. However, since they don't make those decisions, I wasn't going to count my chickens. But $35,000.00 was horrible.
I saw a photo in the online paper the next day, and it did look like a haboob. A big wall of dust. It just didn't have all the BIG wind that the ones we had last year had.

Sorry. I guess this also means you won't be cooking tomorrow night ;)

DR Cilla your parents are very lucky you want to call every day. Do your siblings also make daily calls?

My friend Carol could use some vibes and prayers this evening. She's in a hospital in Kingston, N.Y., with blood clots in her left leg and lung. This follows several other days of scary medical stuff that seems unrelated.
