We were gone all day yesterday on a trip to Annapolis (about which, more later). Mr SmartassPhone decided not to link up with the network, so I couldn't even read the posts.Some ketchup thughts:Jane posted :QuoteI also had a garbage can incident yesterday.Might I obseerve that Keith gave her fair warning!der Brucer
I also had a garbage can incident yesterday.
Another ketchup:Concerning TCB, Jeanne posted:QuoteI hope that you'll get some home health aides, too. It's a shame patients have to fight so hard to get the care they need.Well, in my case I had to fight hard NOT to get the home care they insisted I needed (which was all insurance covered). The situation got so acrimonious that I had to call the hospital and not so politely inform them that if a Visiting Nurse showed up at my door, I would not only not answer but that persistence would result in a police complaint!!!!I argued: either I was well enough to go home, in which case leave me the hell alone, or I was not, in which case transfer me to a care facility!I mean really - just what I needed for recuperation - set the alarm to get up early to clean house in anticipation of a Visiting Nurse, then when the nurse arrived, risk pulling loose all the staples holding my chest together trying to corral five dogs!If I needed dressing changed, or the healing checked, I had no problem getting a lift to an out-patient facility, or the hospital itself.Logic was of little help - they really, really wanted to do a home inspection, and I really, really had no intention of allowing them to. To aid my cause I did mention my 2nd amendment rights.There is no tonic like fighting with bureaucrats!der Brucer

Jane, I saw something for you at the store the other day: Canned "skinless" vegetarian haggis. It was next to the regular canned haggis. I almost bought a can just to see how horrible it was, but at $7, it was a little too much.

Sunday afternoon greetings from HOME! I dropped Anita off about an hour ago and have talked on the phone with my mother.

The earlier remark about "SWEENEY TODD as dinner theatre," reminded me of a production of THE EVIL DEAD, the Musical, that I saw here in Austin a couple of years ago.At the box-office, they charged you an extra $5.00 if you wanted to sit in the "Splatter Zone". They even furnished you with a poncho, so that you wouldn't get the fake blood on your clothes.Actually, if was a very entertaining show, but:Can you imagine doing that play in a dinner theatre?

Thanks for the Titanic connections, Mike.
I just finished reading a review of Frank Langella's new book in the NY Times online.There is a hilarious parody in the reader's comments section that I strongly suspect is the work of DR FJL.
