Well... I'm glad I double-checked the bus times for my trip back. I went back to the website for the company I took down here, and the only departures they had listed were for 7:00am. Nope, no can do that. So, I tracked down and old e-mail that a friend had sent me, and checked out the two other companies that run between here and NYC. I brought up both sites, and they both had departures for either 12:30am or 1:00am. Whew!

-Then I realized that all THREE companies are part of some "collective", so I'm guessing when I saw the 1:00am Richmond departures before, I was seeing them for the other bus companies since they're all listed on the same main site - even though the exact bus company name is not given until checkout. -I also found out that the pick-up spot here in Richmond is different from where I was dropped off. Again... Whew!

-Back to packing.

Pardon me if I whine, but I thought summer was supposed to be over. It was hot today.

You had a right to whine today.

Are you outside growling? First whining, now growling. Uh Oh!

Excellent vibes and xylophones for Steve.

I think I'm going to now take a nice long shower. I'm thinking that I may write and post the notes by ten, change the topic, and go to bed.

Well, I did give him quite a stromboli the other day.

That sounds like a good idea, BK.

Vibes to Cilla's friend Steve

Continued vibes to TCB's friend.

And now the chills are gone - just like that. This damn government induced flu is the worst EVER. One of these fine days the truth will out and there is going to be hell toupee for our wonderful government.

Laura · « **Reply #342 on:** October 19, 2008, 07:57:17 PM »

Still, it would be a good idea to rest another day.

My sight, BTW, is still the same but with some extras. I wasn't sure I was even going to tell the doctor about it but I've been seeing things out of the corner of my eyes. Quick dark "flashes" for lack of a better word to call them. Sometimes they startle me. I thought the doctor would say I was seeing things and needed "help".

Well, it turns out that my old friend, stress, has reared his ugly head again. I was told they are quite common when someone is highly stressed and are a warning sign to take things easy. He wants me to monitor how often I see them because it could be the start of other problems.

Not to worry, I haven't seen them recently. It was very common when Bear had his surgery and afterwards. They seem to be going away now.

~~~No More Stress Vibes and No More Dark Flashes Vibes for DR Danise!!~~~

Thanks all for the vibes. I will hear from Gretchen as soon as they know when they go to Rochester. She was supposed to be on a bird watching trip in Bolivia right now. Luckily he went to the doctor before she left and not right after. Needless to say, she isn't in Bolivia.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #345 on:** October 19, 2008, 08:07:58 PM »

BK, a nice hot shower and going to bed early sounds like an excellent plan.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #346 on:** October 19, 2008, 08:12:46 PM »

bk - As for the government and your "flu conspiracy", well... Maybe there was a reason your pool turned green.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #347 on:** October 19, 2008, 08:14:59 PM »

OK - I think I'm ready to head back up to NYC. I just need to figure out how to balance and hold all the small bag I'm bringing back with me. I think I should be fine on the bus, but getting through the subway turnstiles is going to take some maneuvering I think.

In any case, I'm gonna log off and shut down my (old) laptop now, and make sure I am indeed ready to head back to NYC. I'll have my iPhone, but I think I'm going to try to sleep as much as I can on the bus. -I also realized I get a bit of motion sickness on the bus while reading my iPhone, so...

OK...

Laters...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #348 on:** October 19, 2008, 08:16:24 PM »

And, yes, bk - a hot shower and an early evening are good things.

And what would be even better, would be taking a nice brisk walk tomorrow morning instead of the "long, hard jog". If there's still a fragment of the crud in your system, four miles of bodily exertion ain't gonna help your cause.

I began my evening watching four more episodes of DYNASTY. Nice to see guest stars like David Hedison and John McCook. Steven's finally home and already his dad is clashing with him over his "lifestyle." [sigh] For all the bullcrap about loving his son, etc. he never, ever accepted him as a gay man. Of course, with all of Steven's marriages, I'm not sure he did a great job at accepting himself either.

Matt H. · « **Reply #350 on:** October 19, 2008, 08:18:28 PM »

That leaves me with only four more episodes of the show. These are the kinds of box sets that are a pleasure to tackle.

Matt H. · « **Reply #351 on:** October 19, 2008, 08:19:44 PM »

Next, I watched GENERAL HOSPITAL: NIGHT SHIFT which had Chad Allen's last episode of his four-part story arc with the gay doctor on the show. Hooray! They didn't kill him! That means they can bring him back next season and maybe make him a permanent love interest for Dr. Kyle.

Matt H. · « **Reply #352 on:** October 19, 2008, 08:20:50 PM »

Next was another sensational episode of TRUE BLOOD. Such fascinating characters; you just never know what going to happen next.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #353 on:** October 19, 2008, 08:20:50 PM »

Cool! Our local newspaper had this bid and buy thing where you could go online and bid on items from their advertisers. The reserve was 1/2 price. So I bid and won a year membership to the Curves in my neighborhood for half price! Yeah! I'm really happy about this. Having an entire year paid for will make me go more often. It worked last time I did that. And they have a really cool new stretching machine. Not sure how that works, but you do it at the end of the workout. I'll go pay for it tomorrow and can start this week. That makes me very happy

Matt H. · « **Reply #354 on:** October 19, 2008, 08:23:09 PM »

Next, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. The points about happiness mixed with jealousy were SO true. Pretty enjoyable episode but nothing special.

Matt H. · « **Reply #355 on:** October 19, 2008, 08:24:17 PM »

And I ended my evening watching the first half hour of BROTHERS & SISTERS. I'll be interested to see how various plots wrap up that were started in the first half hour. I should have plenty of time to get to it tomorrow.

Laura · « **Reply #356 on:** October 19, 2008, 08:25:09 PM »

I thought they had those in torture chambers, Cillaliz.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #357 on:** October 19, 2008, 08:25:52 PM »

LOL, Matt, I only saw the last half of BROTHERS & SISTERS. I was wondering how various plots started!

Well, I'm sleepy Think I'll check in to see if it's my turn on one of the three Scrabble games I'm playing through Facebook and then go to bed. Night
