Good morning, all!

I vaguely remember a dream about chasing a bus containing luggage owned by DR Ben and Anthony abd a name "Chermondeley" or something like that, but it is now all a cypher.

My boy Joshie wants some help today with the On The Town Broadway orchestra parts, so I am debating whether I should go to Columbia or go down to City Center, see him this morning, and head back home before the temperatures climb to 95 around 2:00.  I'll call him in an hour and talk to him about it.

He closed his practice's website.

BUT

The YELP Review page is still active and people have been posting their thoughts on it. I would have to say his practice is finished.

I live in a woodsy area of a small town, and we have all kinds of wildlife coming through here.  (Don't let that dentist know.)  But in one sighting, and apparently in one great party being thrown on his roof yesterday, BK saw more raccoons than I have in these past 20 years combined.

Title: Re: THE RACCOONS OF STUDIO CITY
Post by: Jrand74 on July 29, 2015, 07:01:47 AM
Well....I got everyone's photo with the exception of one actress, who wasn't there because of work....so now I am working on the slide show.

It is a slow process....but it does look nice on the television in the lobby.

One new person in the cast decided she wanted to use THREE names, which I can't be mad about much since I do the same....she also claims to be:
A pastor's wife
A Mary Kay lady
A barista at Starbucks
and
Mother of a spunky five year old.

She also has a BIG LOUD MOUTH and never shuts up.

Wednesday morning greetings!  Thank you to DRs Vixmom and Cillaliz for the test vibes I found from last night.  I'm a little sore this morning and surprised I'm not bruised.

My main agenda item today is to check on Mom.  I will probably need massive quantities of wine and chocolate when I get home...

See it before Tuesday; to cut the  running costs they are reducing the orchestra on Tuesday night.

Well, what I would say in response to that is not suitable for a family website.

I'll see if it's possible.  Thanks for the warning, DR Elmore.

They should be required to reduce the cast, costumes, and lighting, too.  Make it clear to the public what reducing something actually means vis-à-vis what a show is written for and how honest they're being in presenting it on Broadway.

Fortunately we have never had a raccoon inside any of our homes, just loads of them outside.  It was fun watching them.  In our first Michigan home a family lived in the tree directly behind our upstairs deck which offered us a great view.

When we moved in they would get into our trash barrels.  We had to but rags soaked in ammonia in the trash to keep the raccoons away.

Cutting the orchestra size has been common for the past 100 years. In the past, when there was a string section of 15-20 players, it meant cutting the section by half. It's usually the string section that gets it.

Right.  The biggest difference now, of course, is that having the original size orchestra for any time at all is such a significant thing.

It is not providing me with any work.  The situation was addressed before the show ever opened in 2014. There's was a proposed cut list for FINIAN'S RAINBOW before the show opened, but it closed suddenly and no one was sacked. The last WEST SIDE STORY revival made cuts as well.

I'm just offering Joshie my opinion on the situation.

Apparently The Raccoons are using the roof as their loo.  Nice.  There's no way for them to get into the attic, so that's good.  They're removing all that poo from the loo and then will treat the roof with some stuff they won't like.  He said, interestingly, that it's rare for them to be in a pack like that and that they see that happen when someone in the neighborhood is feeding them.  If it's true, I'd best not find out who that is.

I think I have finally found the full color Li'l Abner window card from Broadway.  A couple have come up over the last few years and I couldn't get anywhere near them thanks to a couple of nut jobs who didn't care how much money they spent - I believe those nut jobs are speculators and trying to create a market where none exists.  In any case, this won't actually cost any cash if we work out our little deal.  It's not the full original cast on this poster - Edie Adams and Charlotte Rae had already moved on, but since I love Billie Hayes, I actually like that she's on the poster.

At the clinic where I work on Wednesday afternoons, there is a really ugly medium-weight outdoor jacket that has ben on the "Help Yourself" rack for the past 5 months. It's so ugly that even the homeless don't want it.

Yet someone got paid to design it and manufacture it.

Apparently The Raccoons are using the roof as their loo.  Nice.  There's no way for them to get into the attic, so that's good.  They're removing all that poo from the loo and then will treat the roof with some stuff they won't like.  He said, interestingly, that it's rare for them to be in a pack like that and that they see that happen when someone in the neighborhood is feeding them.  If it's true, I'd best not find out who that is.

I wondered about the odd pack and if someone was feeding them.

The porto-potties have arrived at the Annette house - that does not bode well for the future and I suspect the house will be gone in a week.  I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't know who would buy a house and let it sit for a year, other than a developer looking to tear down and build and make a quick turnaround profit.

It probably took a year to get the building permit for the new house.

I spent a considerable amount of time this morning scheduling two eye surgeries, three post-ops, one pre-op, and then rescheduling a dental appointment to accommodate the above. I am continually amazed at how little information patients are given, and of that which IS given, how much is contradictory. I know it's not just UCLA.

When today's scheduler person said, "Now get out a piece of paper and a pencil," and "Write this down," I bit my tongue. Surely the admin staff can be taught to be clear, concise, and professional. I have no doubt that UCLA can attract top-notch doctors, but their admin staff REALLY needs some improvement!

Thanks, DR Jeanne.  I'm fine, and reassured that I made the right decision not to put my 96-year-old mother through the cardiology work-up the ER recommended last February.  Her assisted living doctor agreed with me and so does my sister.  Couldn't see her withstanding either the echocardiogram like I had yesterday or a nuclear stress test.

Yesterday I was at a different UCLA office and have gotten to know one of the nurses there a bit. She told me that her health insurance is with Kaiser and that she's now on Doctor #5. She's looking for someone who listens and will answer her questions and intends to keep looking until she finds a doctor who will. I asked if one of the nurses could help. She said that when she asked a nurse she was just told to ask the doctor; no one would tell her anything. My friend the nurse is not a demanding person in any way--just the opposite. Being a medical professional doesn't help get you through the medical bureaucracy.

They should be required to reduce the cast, costumes, and lighting, too.  Make it clear to the public what reducing something actually means vis-à-vis what a show is written for and how honest they're being in presenting it on Broadway.

Watching a bad version of "The Count of Monte Cristo." But 40 minutes into it, it's following the book fairly closely. That isn't always a plus, especially when the book was 1,000 pages long.

While some may think I'm over doing it, I'm not.   I've been busy at work but when it hits about 3:00 and I get tired, I wind things down and come home.   My doctor cleared me to lift things last Friday.  He said if it hurts don't lift it otherwise I'm fine.   And my exercise is primarily walking. Not doing anything else.

I am glad to read this.

The porto-potties have arrived at the Annette house - that does not bode well for the future and I suspect the house will be gone in a week.  I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't know who would buy a house and let it sit for a year, other than a developer looking to tear down and build and make a quick turnaround profit.

It probably took a year to get the building permit for the new house.

I expect you are right.

After lunch I went to Central Pastry to replace the items I'd bought for Mom on Monday (we ate those, knowing they'd be stale by today) and visited her unannounced.  She was OK, which I expected because if something acute happens the nurse calls me.  Don't know what was going on the other day.

I am glad the visit went well.  Did she enjoy the treats?

I'm into "Father Brown" and "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries" these days.

My brother likes Father Brown but we couldn't get it in Ashland.  We watched the first episode the other night.  I hope the improve.

Recovery vibes to DR Ginny.

Thanks, DR Jeanne.  I'm fine, and reassured that I made the right decision not to put my 96-year-old mother through the cardiology work-up the ER recommended last February.  Her assisted living doctor agreed with me and so does my sister.  Couldn't see her withstanding either the echocardiogram like I had yesterday or a nuclear stress test.

You absolutely made the rigt decision.

I just threw a little money at a "problem":  I bought a power washer for cleaning the deck.  It's a low-powered one, which is all you want for deck or siding work, and will do so much better than scrubbing the thing like a charwoman.  So that is my day tomorrow, getting the dirt and mildew out of the wood.  And then I can go buy the stain or paint or whatever I'm going with.

Power washers are great.  I'm glad wedon't need one anymore :)

I've had a few encounters with raccoons. They can be quite aggressive. They're also heavy enough that when they're on your roof you really wonder what the dickens is up there.

A few years ago, there were several local cats that had been attacked (and a couple killed!) by some raccoons. :o

Small animals are not safe from them.

Bruce if you had a dog you would have known you had raccoons sooner.  Dogs are very good at finding and rolling in raccoon poop.

Back from a jog and seeing another first for me in Studio City - a free-roaming coyote.  One can only wonder what the HELL is going on here.

I thought they were all over the valley now.

One author read her own work, and the rest were essentially dramatic readings by actors who know how to act, and act well.

The theater was practically filled...which isn't difficult when the event is free and there are only about 40 seats.
