And the word of the day is: PRECIS!
;D
Really sorry to hear of the SEVEN YEAR ITCH color deficiencies. I wonder if the colors are the same on the previous DVD that I have.
TOD:
THE ASPHALT JUNGLE
Saw a great production of Sweeney Todd last night at the Ray of Light theatre in SF. Fantastic. 5 piece orchestra, strong UN-MIC-ED singers. Very refreshing to hear the great score.
Today is a wedding of one of my best friends. I wish her and her new husband good health and happiness in the years to come. That's all I can do at this point.
Guess I'll go read The Book Thief..... I'm enjoying it
i think I am going to try and convince Vixdad to become a Mormon --- we need a couple of extra wives around here
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've always wondered if some of the tension between O'Conner and Dailey in THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS was because at the time it was being made.....O'Connor's wife was divorcing him to marry Dailey?
And she seems to be liking her new home.
IT is VERY NICE to have her meet me at the door when I come home.
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.

From DR Cilla:Glad you are enjoying it, Cillaliz. I hated to see that one come to an end.QuoteGuess I'll go read The Book Thief..... I'm enjoying it

I ran my errands, including a stop at Costco to get some grapeseed oil and to see the book for sale.

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?
And now I must get ready for work, since it is a Saturday.
Before I go, it is my duty to report that Rose is now named Precious. She got a clean bill of health from the Vet yesterday. She is five years old, has NO chip, no heartworm, her shots are now all up to date. She had a bath before her Vet visit, and is taking some itching pills....I guess they are NON itching pills.
And she seems to be liking her new home.
IT is VERY NICE to have her meet me at the door when I come home.

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!
Thanks, Jeanne. I hope your headaches clear up for another 25 years and more.

My nieces were so excited they were both screaming.
We got our first gold medal at the Olympics today (Canada). Very exciting. My nieces were so excited they were both screaming.

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.
And I liked last night's program so much that I'm going back again tonight for it's "repeat". :)
~~~~~ANTI-MIGRAINE VIBES TO DR JEANNE~~~~~
*A friend of mine has just recently learned that her "cheese trigger" for migraines has gotten much more acute over the past couple of months. Alas, she's a sous-chef and has deal with cheese on a daily basis, especially bries and bleus. :-/
No more nosebleeds to DR Ginny.Ditto!!!!
I'm sure she just loves her new home and you!
And she seems to be liking her new home.
IT is VERY NICE to have her meet me at the door when I come home.

I meant to congratulate DR John G on seeing his newly-published book at Costco. Congrats!Many congrats! What is the title again?
There is a lady at work that gets those. They sound horrible. Mega Vibes for feeling better!Hello, everyone.

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.
Wow, Dublin is just about upon us. What are your departure and return dates, DR Elmore?

Instead, I think you need a couple of extra husbands. Then the husbands can all go to work, and you can quit that horrible job!

Well, I think I'll try going to the northern Cincinnati 'burbs. Pray for Rosemary's Baby...
Since it is supposed to be 106 degrees today Keith mowed about nine this morning. It is already hot.
I ran my errands, including a stop at Costco to get some grapeseed oil and to see the book for sale. That was a thrill. The book, not the oil. Well, the oil is, too. Or will be when I make some crab and avocado cakes tonight.

DR DANISE - I hope the fix/repair for your car window is fast and cheap. -And speaking from experience, if the glass did not break and it just dropped in the door, it should be. It's when it sticks and gets stuck that the repair tends to be more involved.

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.

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.
My former friend Betzy, who re-did my apartment while I was in the hospital / nursing home, must have pitched the missing plastic connecter piece I need to vent my air conditioner. Poor Nicky is really suffereing. I am sure they have them at Home Depot, but I can't drive.

On the hottest day of the year, roughly 275 people took off running from Lithia Park in Ashland and continued straight up to the summit of Mount Ashland — a distance of 13.3 miles with an elevation gain of 5,600 feet —
Tomorrow is Hydro Sunday on Lake Washington! I can't wait to watch them on TV.

I'm sorry she is a former friend. I'm sure she meant well thought pitching anything but food wasn't the best thing to do. Maybe if you call Home Depot they will mail it to you.

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.
DR vixmom - Have you considered hiring some sort of errand/cleaning service for a couple of hours?
In the meantime, don't forget to breathe.

Oh the throwing it away has nothing to do with the "former" title in our friendship. She wrote me off in May for some unknown reason. I have asked three times, but never received a response.
It is, but after it started it started to get popular they added the subtitle (?) of "The Pina Colada song"A Brief Encounter with Rupert Holmes:

We have not flown in 4 years - I was surprised (unpleasantly) to learn that we now have to pay for checked extra to check luggage - no free bags - that we had to pay to select our seats ( I did spring for the bulkhead seating though - in for a penny in for a pound!) and that we needed to buy a new lock for the luggage that allows the TSA to open our luggage if they choose to inspect it
I am also not sure what to expect at security re body scans and pat downs/feel ups etc
