I guess we don't have to worry about Millvina Dean.  I received an invitation to this site this afternoon.

I just caught the end of PWOJECT WUNWAY; I think I liked Kortto's collection the best.

This monring I went for my mammogram - I had never been to this particiular facility before.  I  must say it was a very nice setup.  They had nice quilted cloth robes instead of the  usual paper smock thingies and then they had a special waiting room wher you could watch a big screen HD TV and eat fresh baked chocolate chocolate chip cookies and lounge in your robe while the techs read your  scans


Unfortunately, for me,  they decided they had to redo the scans on the right side three more times and have now decided I shoudl go have a sonogram of the area ... "just to be safe"   



vibes please

DR TCB, I don't see where Millvina Dean will receive money from the sale of these items.

No, but she already received money from the autograph session that was held with her recently in England by JG Autographs.

I do wish someone would come up with a different way of conducting that test -- the whole "please put your bits in this vise and lets see if we can pull them off " thing just doesn't work for me



which is why  I had my last  "yearly" several years ago -- so long ago I cannot actually remember when it was...

DR Vixmom-VIBES!!!

On the upside, the sonogram is painless.  Please keep reminding yourself more often than not it is nothing.  Easy to say, not easy to stay calm about it.  I hope you don't have to wait too long for the sonogram.

they only have appointments M - F 9 - 4 so of course it will mean taking time off of work -  not something I am anxious to do in this business climate

DR Vixmom, I like the idea of quilted robes & cookies.

If you don't have to drive for awhile following the test, a mild tranquilizer really helps keep your body relaxed & it hurts less.  Alas I was only able to do that once at the NIH, boy though did it make a difference.

Many thanks for the continued thoughts a vibes for me today.  HHW is the BEST.

The memorial was lovely.  There were about 100 people there.  The church had its cornerstone placed in 1828, and there a many beautiful stained glass windows.   As we sat in the pews waiting for things to begin,  the sun rose to just the right angle, that  yours truly was bathed a golden light through a stained glass window high in the chapel wall..... 

I was next to last on the program.  We heard from John's scoutmaster - John was an Eagle Scout, John's neighbor who remembered John at 4 years old driving over on his tricycle to greet the new neighbors, and one of John's school teachers.  The Pastor also read a very nice card from Miss Phyllis Diller.  My part of the program went well, I am told.  I hesitated to mention the title of the musical DAMN YANKEES, but I did it anyway and there were no lightning flashes.

Afterwards there were light refreshments, greetings, and a video of John's life which was very moving....it played and you could stop to watch for a few minutes if you cared to.

It was very good - the only jarring note an unfortunate key change during the piano rendition of "Some Enchanted Evening" during the musical prelude.....whew.

Thanks again, HHW.

DR JRand, it sounds like a beautiful memorial.  The story of John riding his tricycle to meet the neighbor's is so sweet.

Vixdad got up early this morning - ran some new electrical  connections and got everything ready for a smooth installation of the new dishwasher which was delivered (finally) at 4:44 PM.


Unfortunately the new machine is shaped in sucha way that he now has a major plumbing job in front of him - rerouting the water pipes



I am just so luck that he is so clever at doing all this sort of work - I couldn't imagine the cost if we had to have someone in
