Post by: Danise on August 04, 2012, 03:49:12 AM: 6:44 AM and I'm home with Bonnie. I didn't have any trouble sleeping. I parked Bonnie beside the tech's car so the bad window was facing his car. I also stopped off at the dollar store and bought a plastic drop cloth so no rain go in the window.

I'm tired now. I was woke up at least 3 times for the test. First without the mask where it was determined that I really DO need it because I stopped breathing several times. Duh.
The 2nd phase to put the mask on.
The 3rd phase to put a chin strap on me.
The 4th phase to send me on my merry way.

Not very good news I'm afraid. I went from 12 lbs pressure to 14.5 along with now needing the chin strap.

Well, I'm going to go lay down after I wash the goop from my hair. I have to think about what I'm going to do about that window.

Next question dealership or repair shop? I'm thinking repair shop I can walk home from there. Opinions?
Title: Re: I WAS A LAZY LOAFER

Post by: elmore3003 on August 04, 2012, 04:18:02 AM: Good morning, all! I slept rather well, but the fans do more than keep a level of cool air circulating over a heavier layer that settles on your skin and burns from its heat. I do detest this weather, and the elevator being dwn for a minimum of three days really irks me. There are at least two older men in tis building who are unwell, if not infirm, and they really shouldn't be walking 2-5 flights of stairs in this heat. I do feel sorry for those on the upper floors.

I will leave very shortly for Toyland. If I'm going to endure the heat, I'd rather do it in a building where the AC is really cold. I've got a few more volumes of bound music to put away, and then I may actually work on ROBERTA for a while. I think Mr Skip Kennon is coming down to organizemore of the McGlinn library. It will be nice to have company. Hopefully, our cleaning man Arnold has removed all of the garbage that was accumulating.

DR JohnG, I've never understood Kathryn Gayson's stardom; someone thought she had talent as a soprano but I find her the epitome of the Anna Russell comment of "resonance where your brain ought to be." She's particularly dreadful as Magnolia. If there were an Oscar for Most Putrid Performance, she'd have a shelf full of them.

Post by: elmore3003 on August 04, 2012, 04:26:31 AM: Monroe:
Almost everything but there are some like RIVER OF NO RETURN that I haven't seen in fifty years. Ihe one I detest is THE MISFITS, which I think is pretentious hogwash with a great cast. I have no respect for Mr Arthur Miller and his "serious" plays. He's a middleclass coward who thinks he's a deep writer; when he was angry, he wrote one brave play, THE CRUCIBLE. Tennesseee Williams writes rings around him.

Post by: ChasSmith on August 04, 2012, 05:32:02 AM: I might watch some TCM today to catch a MM film or two that I haven't seen, notably RIVER OF NO RETURN and perhaps BUS STOP. (I've probably seen some of it, but I've never really watched it.)

So, the TOD, thus far:

Seven Year Itch
How to Marry a Millionaire
Niagara

I, too, think of SOME LIKE IT HOT as less a Monore film than a Lemmon and Curtis and Billy Wilder film.

Post by: Jeanne on August 04, 2012, 01:04:38 PM: Hello, everyone.

The news here is that I've now had two migraines in the last two weeks or so--after not having had one for 25 years or more! Ugh! The last one was a doozy, with a few weird and distressing symptoms on top of the usual visual disturbances and pain. I saw two doctors. The first stated he doesn't know what's causing it. The second one, my acupuncturist, has an idea and is treating me, but we will have to keep an eye on it. I'm still recovering and reading is a bit difficult at times.

On the positive side, I purchased a new form of magnesium called Neuro-Mag (manufactured by Life Extension) a month or so ago. It REALLY helps with migraines! It took me a little while to think of taking it during the first migraine, but I took it right away during the second one. The blind spots went away more quickly, the headache came on more slowly and wasn't as severe as usual. Highly recommended. Of course, if you know how NOT to get migraines in the first place, please tell me!

Danise, lucky you to have a repair shop within walking distance! I would check their reviews on the Internet, and if they look OK, give them a try. I agree with Vixmom that the dealerships are more expensive. Plus, at a repair shop repairs are ALL they do, so they need to do a good job to stay in business. The dealer might just send you to a body shop.

Thank you all for the vibes. I suspect the elevator will be back in service on Tuesday or late Monday afternoon. As for the AC, I suspect they will take it out of the wall and depart with it on Wednesday. I'll see it, if I'm lucky, sometime between January and May.

Hello, everyone.

The news here is that I've now had two migraines in the last two weeks or so--after not having had one for 25 years or more! Ugh! The last one was a doozy, with a few weird and distressing symptoms on top of the usual visual disturbances and pain. I saw two doctors. The first stated he doesn't know what's causing it. The second one, my acupuncturist, has an idea and is treating me, but we will have to keep an eye on it. I'm still recovering and reading is a bit difficult at times.

On the positive side, I purchased a new form of magnesium called Neuro-Mag (manufactured by Life Extension) a month or so ago. It REALLY helps with migraines! It took me a little while to think of taking it during the first migraine, but I took it right away during the second one. The blind spots went away more quickly, the headache came on more slowly and wasn't as severe as usual. Highly recommended. Of course, if you know how NOT to get migraines in the first place, please tell me!

Sorry i hope you feel better. I think one of the tricks for migraines is taking your migraine pill before the migraine starts. Although sometimes it is hard to tell when you start to get a headache (if it's going to be a migraine or a headache).

I think I've only had like 3 or 4 migraines in my life. I have a prescription for fiorinol.

Post by: JoseSPiano on August 04, 2012, 02:42:59 PM: So...

Before my internet goes out again...

I went to a wonderful concert last night at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall. It was part of their Mostly Mozart Festival, and featured the MM Orchestra and conductor, Yannick Nézet-Séguin - who is about to take the full time helm of the Philadelphia Orchestra. I heard him with his "home band" - the Rotterdam Philharmonic - last season, and marveled at his musicianship and ability to draw the best out of his players. Last night was no exception.

I almost passed on the program since it featured two warhorses of the symphonic and choral literature: Beethoven's Symphony No. 2, and Haydn's "Lord Nelson" Mass.

In an word... WOW!

From the opening gestures of the Beethoven, I was just bowled over by the sound I was hearing. So much energy behind. And I love watching Maestro Nézet-Séguin conduct! He reminds me of the first time I saw Ricardo Chailly conduct live - almost giggling on the podium, winking from time to time as he gave cues to different sections of the orchestra, while still respecting the intentions of the Composer. It was truly one the best orchestral concerts I've ever attended.

*And there was nice pre-concert recital by Benjamin Bielman. He played the Prokofiev Violin Sonata in D. Again, beautiful.

Even though I did manage to sleep from 4-9:30, I'm not sure how smart it would be to take off alone to drive 20 miles and spend several hours navigating a crowded exhibit hall.

I'm glad you are staying home instead of driving so far on your own.

Too late, DR Jane - I was already on my way to Cincinnati by the time you posted this. I'd read on Facebook that Stampaway is less crowded in the afternoon than first thing in the morning, so I waited until things calmed down for me and decided to try it. Got along fine - bought a few things and talked to a lot of nice vendors.

Yup. It was hotter in town. It was 98 here when we came home this afternoon. Craig said when he got into his car to go out it was 118 in the sun.

It was supposed to get up to 89 today, but it apparently snuck up to 96 instead.

Saturday morning greetings! I'm supposed to be at Sharonville Convention Center at a Stampaway XX, but I had 2 nosebleeds last night (#%&@ meds!). Even though I did manage to sleep from 4-9:30, I'm not sure how smart it would be to take off alone to drive 20 miles and spend several hours navigating a crowded exhibit hall.

I'm glad you are staying home instead of driving so far on your own.

Too late, DR Jane - I was already on my way to Cincinnati by the time you posted this. I'd read on Facebook that Stampaway is less crowded in the afternoon than first thing in the morning, so I waited until things calmed down for me and decided to try it. Got along fine - bought a few things and talked to a lot of nice vendors.

Did I mention that the first lady I met in my first class on Thursday was from Medford, Oregon? She works in a stamping or scrapbooking store.

LOL I figured by your post you decided to stay home. I'm relieved all went well.

You didn't mention the Medford lady. Did you make sure she wasn't related to DR MBarnum? ;) I doubt I would know the store she works at.

She wrote another post saying that she was going to give it a try.

I obviously missed it.

Keith is outside talking to a landscape designer while she is taking photos of our current landscaping. Watching Keith explain his goals for the landscaping I'm reminded of the scene in MR BLANDING'S BUILDING HIS DREAM HOUSE of Myrna Loy explaining the exact colors she wants for the house and then the painter's response to his workmen. ;D

If there is anyone who has not seen this movie you should remedy your error immediately.
