Good morning, all!  The alarm went off this morning at 5:30, and tomorrow morning it will be set for 5:00am since I have to be at my doctor's office by 8 for a colonoscopy, preparations for which will take up my life after 5 pm today.

I plan to spend the day writing the contents on these 18 cartons and sealing them with packng tape for Tuesday's move and reading the new Lorenz Hart biography, which I am enjoying. Sort of.

Morning all!  Lots to do and I stayed up way to late last night.  Yes, I, Danise, was up until after midnight chatting away for a few folks.  No doubt there is a nap in my afternoon future. 

As far as friends--well you all know about Thelma and my old boss Glenda.  Of course I count all of you as friend.  I'm lucky to have made some new friends in Joseph and Jason Carter. 

Didn't  have many friends growing up at least not human friends.  Mostly horses and dogs and cats and all manor of assorted animals.  No one I'm in touch with now.

A very Happy Birthday to Vixdad.  Vixmom needs to stop working so hard!!!!!!

Vibes to DR Elmoore and his Colonoscopy.  What a pain in the rear they are.  :)

Vibes to all who need them!

I have grass to mow so I gotta go~  Laters!

I've always had a really close friend wherever I've lived but only a couple lifetime very close friends.   Paul is my closest friend in Sioux City.   We drive each other crazy from time to time, but that happens less often than it used to and it always passes.   The strongest part of our friendship is that we accept each other and our limitations, we aren't always there for each other to do the every day normal sort of thing but, when it really matters, like when I was sitting by the road, about to be loaded into an ambulance.... I knew he would drop everything and go to the emergency room and that's just what happened.

Also how about Schimdt & Jones' Philemon which as far as I know was only distributed by the composers and never had a commercial release

Both back and front lawns are mowed.  I LOVE my new little mower.  It's so light to push and it did a very good job.  And while I will keep the electric mower as a back up, I am thrilled that I am no longer chained to that darn electric cord.  It gets caught on everything and made the job twice as long.

Just trying to cool down a bit then I have to go out and blow the porch and sidewalk off.  Then if there's time (I see clouds building) I want to wash the dogs.  It's so hot out I don't think I need to use the bathtub.  That's for the winter.

Laters all!

Philemon: Harvey and Tom both hate that album and will not allow its release.  I've tried for years.  What they WILL allow is the TV version, which I have on CD here.  It just doesn't sound great, but I suppose after five years I should send it up to my mastering guy and see what he can do with it.

I have not had a lot of friends (other than theater friends) during my lifetime.  I have had a few long-term close friends.  All but one of them have passed away.  Several were lost to AIDS, one I lost track of down in Oregon, and when I managed to track him down, he had died just two years ago.  Ironically, most of the really close friends that I have today are on this site (or were previously).  And then there is my friend, Sharry.  We have been friends since Revolutionary Times.  She was the first person I knew to post a "George Washington Slept Here" sign.

Good morning.  I slept another 12 hours yesterday and today woke up feeling almost normal.  I'm a bit sore, but definitely on the mend.  I need to find some range of motion exercises for my shoulder. That's the only thing my doctor recommended I should do.

After two years in physical therapy I might be able to help you with that.

The first exercise my therapist gave me is still the one I use the most.  I use it throughout the day no matter how silly I look. 

I plant my feet so I'm balanced well. 
I then bend over as if I'm reaching for my toes, going only as far as comfortable.
I let my arms relax and get them going in circles. 
Try 5-10 one way and then back in the other direction.

I attempted to find an example of this on the internet.  This is the best I could do.  It also looks uncomfortable while I find doing both at the same time relaxing.

I've always had a really close friend wherever I've lived but only a couple lifetime very close friends.   Paul is my closest friend in Sioux City.   We drive each other crazy from time to time, but that happens less often than it used to and it always passes.   The strongest part of our friendship is that we accept each other and our limitations, we aren't always there for each other to do the every day normal sort of thing but, when it really matters, like when I was sitting by the road, about to be loaded into an ambulance.... I knew he would drop everything and go to the emergency room and that's just what happened.

I have good friend's like that but they all live so far away.   I do have friends & acquaintances I could call in an emergency just because they are nice people.  In an emergency we want our friends.

I'm up and was up at eight-thirty thanks to some creep next door who is obviously either doing work for or keeping watch over that million dollar piece of crap.  The owners seem to spend most of their time out of town - heaven knows what they do with their poor dog during these long absences - just more entitled people who care only about themselves and nothing about boarding a dog for three weeks. 

Maybe they think the dog is being well cared for at home while they are gone.  If there are issues, different from when they are home vs the sitter, they might appreciate hearing about them.

What about a DVD of the TV version?

I would like to see if BK can get the rights to restore the complete concert of Sondheim: A Musical Tribute which still has a lot of unreleased tracks including some marred by technical problems that I am sure PRO TOOLS could get rid of?

Also how about Schimdt & Jones' Philemon which as far as I know was only distributed by the composers and never had a commercial release
I want Philemon, too.

I was coughing up a lot of philemon last night.

Well I had another 5 hour nap.  I think that the sleep is really helping me heal. I think I've slept about 12-14 hours a day all week.   I'm not taking any pain medication except Aleve and may cut back on that tomorrow.  I have a ton of work to do this week so I'm hoping my mind will clear and I can get it done.  

Wonderful.  I'm constantly pleased to see how much care you are taking to heal.

Well, tomorrow it's back to work. Aleve seems to be doing what I need it to do today.  I got three loads of laundry done and vacuumed the livingroom where I've been sitting for a week.  I just couldn't look at the cat hair on the floor for one more day.   I'm trying to stay awake all day today, but am taking it easy and staying inside.  It's 100 degrees outside.

Good morning.  I slept another 12 hours yesterday and today woke up feeling almost normal.  I'm a bit sore, but definitely on the mend.  I need to find some range of motion exercises for my shoulder. That's the only thing my doctor recommended I should do.

After two years in physical therapy I might be able to help you with that.

The first exercise my therapist gave me is still the one I use the most.  I use it throughout the day no matter how silly I look. 

I plant my feet so I'm balanced well. 
I then bend over as if I'm reaching for my toes, going only as far as comfortable.
I let my arms relax and get them going in circles. 
Try 5-10 one way and then back in the other direction.

I attempted to find an example of this on the internet.  This is the best I could do.  It also looks uncomfortable while I find doing both at the same time relaxing.

Some of the cuts have healed but I still have some on my upper arm.  My doctor said there could still be glass in there, but it will work it's way out if it's in there. I don't think massage would be good there either

Has anybody watched the new show POLITICAL ANIMALS? I'm not sure what channel it is on in the US. Here it is on Bravo. I'm almost finished the first episode and I really like it. I think there are 5 more episodes starting tonight.

I hate to say this but I think my Apple  may be going rotten.  I've noticed that sometimes it just throws a blank screen and I can't make it come back unless I power down and then back up.  That just happened.  I typed my post, hit post and the whole screen went blank.

Has that happened to any of you fellow apple users?



Must be a problem with the core.  Perhaps a worm.

DR John G, I've heard so many wonderful things about your friend who died in the shooting in Colorado.  She sounds like a wonderful person, you and her friends and family have my ongoing sympathy

I meant to mention that earlier.  She certainly touched a lot of people in her short life.

Yes, she did touch many people's lives. I haven't been able to read much of the stories, simply because too much of it is still conjecture at this point. And that kind of lazy investigating irritates me. We can wait until we have some answers, not just some hyperbole that some bloviator spews to fill a few column inches or a few seconds of air time.

Other than a few words that her brother said he was told by the friend that was with her at the theater,  all of things I have heard concerned her as an aspiring journalist and her work as an intern.
So sorry to read about this.  It is truly a horrible thing that never should have happened.

From DR Cilla:
Quote
Well I had another 5 hour nap.  I think that the sleep is really helping me heal. I think I've slept about 12-14 hours a day all week.   I'm not taking any pain medication except Aleve and may cut back on that tomorrow.  I have a ton of work to do this week so I'm hoping my mind will clear and I can get it done.  

Wonderful.  I'm constantly pleased to see how much care you are taking to heal.

Well, tomorrow it's back to work. Aleve seems to be doing what I need it to do today.  I got three loads of laundry done and vacuumed the livingroom where I've been sitting for a week.  I just couldn't look at the cat hair on the floor for one more day.   I'm trying to stay awake all day today, but am taking it easy and staying inside.  It's 100 degrees outside.
  Glad to hear that your doing better DR Cillaliz.  You will be sore for awhile yet but if you could do all that today you must be on the mend.

I got through almost all of mine.  The taste wasn't so bad (I'd refrigerated it) but the sheer quantity of it, once down to the last two servings, was the challenge.  Enough was enough, already.  I think I stopped short of completing it, but I had the feeling they allow for that by making sure you have a little more than enough.  At any rate, that worked for me.

The time I upchucked some of it didn't make a difference.  I now get anti-nausea med to take.  They changed the drink & I hear it is worse now :(   Oh, and I can't drink it in the morning.

The first time I saw noodles was in Maui.  I was surprised how many people went into the ocean using them.

At swimming pools in the summer there are usually lots of swimming noodles. The kids love them.

So, George, I think that BBC download that I had problems with really affected my computer. I now have some irritating side programs, such as enhanced text that I'll need to get rid of. Weird that only I seem to have had the problem.
Title: Re: FRIENDSHIP
Post by: ChasSmith on July 22, 2012, 05:21:32 PM
By George, I did it!!!! 

Thanks to our own DR George.

DR George had sent me someone's instructions and links for downloading the MY FAIR LADY concert MP3s which could be converted to CD audio and burned to three separate CDs.  Getting the files was the easy part.  The challenge for me was figuring out how to get it into three "playlists" in Windows Media Player.  This, I finally figured out with the help of a FRIEND.  (As experienced as I am on PCs, my brain turns to stone when faced with apps like WMP which, except for just "playing things", I haven't found intuitive at all.)

So, I now have three CDs that my Oppo Blu-ray player plays on the good system, and it sure sounds good.  Tomorrow or the next day I'll crank it up and hear what it really sounds like, and enjoy the whole concert straight through.

THANK YOU, DR GEORGE!!

Title: Re: FRIENDSHIP
Post by: Jane on July 22, 2012, 05:36:10 PM
I'm sorry, Jane.

Thanks.  There are a couple of options if he has to take them.  Today he drove over to the place he used to live in & is considering it since they have 6 month leashes, for a hefty fee of course.  That would give him extra time to continue looking.  The hardest part is not knowing where he will be working.  I was concerned about him returning to the building he lived in with memories of his marriage.  After going there, and finding out the same apartment is available, he felt fine with it.  He said the very nice elderly neighbor that liked Yogi is still living there.  His complaint with the location is that it is near the freeway he doesn't want to drive.

He has a couple other building that might work.  His problem with these apartments is that they are in large complexes with amenities he won't use but would be paying for.  He did like the one apartment with a washer & dryer.  What he really wants is a trailer in the middle of a park.  I said he has been spoiled living here.

John G., try downloading this program and you can easily uninstall all of the hateful Ask Toolbar. The program is pretty easy to use. Scroll down to the bottom of the page below and choose Free Full Downloads of Revo Uninstaller. I know it means downloading another program but I use Revo all the time and it makes uninstalling programs much easier

Once you've got the program up and running look for the Ask toolbar in the list of applications. Click on Uninstall at the top and choose the last option, which is full uninstall. Just follow the prompts, including deleting added Registry entries. It should get rid of everything.

I hate the fact that many times now, especially when you're downloading an update for Flash or Java or Shockwave, the default is for you to download a stupid, useless piece of crap software that makes changes to your operating system. You have to opt out of downloading the crap by unticking the box as part of the download. I never, ever do a "standard" install or download because it usually includes this kind of crappy add on that I don't want. I do a custom download/install so I can choose what I want to put on my computer.

By the way, I don't know if I'm right in saying "CD Audio".  These are audio files playable on regular players, but the term might be implying a higher fidelity that isn't necessarily on the download.  This is an area in which my ignorance reigns supreme.

When Craig traveled I used to sleep in his room with the pets while Keith slept in ours with Sherlock.  Before Craig left I told him we would both sleep in his room.  He laughed and said not on his queen bed we wouldn't.  I responded sure we would.  First night Keith went to our room after watching Yogi stretched out across the bed.  The following night we traded planning on taking turns.  Keith has stayed in there the entire time while I slept allergy free in our room.

Since I won't have time tomorrow I'm washing the bedding.  So far I have been able to keep Yogi off the bed.  I have to feed him now and following dinner he usually gets on the bed.
