Tuesday.

Yesterday my mother got her new prescription card - she has been COBRA'd until May, 2016, at no cost to us, which is nice, although she already had other insurance ready to go.

Everything is taken care of except the pesky pension.  Since it comes from the same source as the insurance, I am hoping that they get that straightened out by this month or next.

OMG I am not happy. There is snow everywhere. And with no warning.  When I checked the weather forecast last night I only saw a 40% chance of flurries.  Luckily it is supposed to be very warm on Thursday and Friday so it will melt. But yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have liked almost ALL of my teachers....some better than others of course.

I have had only ONE teacher that I hated.  We moved in the spring of the 4th grade, so there were only two 6-week periods left in the year.  My new teacher was named Mrs. Naile.  There were NOT enough books to go around, so we had to share some. She never called on me when I raised my hand, and she hit me once when we were out on the playground.  I still don't know what that was about.

At the end of the school term - she was giving away some of the things in the room.  A boy had kind of given up feeding the little turtle, so I had taken over the job.  I raised my hand when she asked who wanted it.  No one else raised his hand, but she still gave it to someone else.

This is just the tip of her unexplained hatred for me - I could feel it every day.  If she couldn't find a wrong answer on my paper or tests, she marked me down for my penmanship or having too dull a pencil.

I hope she died a horrible painful and lingering death....alone....

There is not enough space to write about the WONDERFUL teachers I had.

Mr. Riddick, our 5th grade teacher.  My first male teacher.  He was great, he brought his record player in and played records for us.  He made learning so much fun.

My English/Lit teachers Miss York, Mrs. Kreiger, Mrs, Brewster, and Miss Bray.  My history teacher Mr. Marksbury.....and on and on....

This is a good week to be a slob DR ELMORE.

DR VIXMOM sort of clued me in on the FIDDLER nonsense.....yes hopefully it will be changed.

I need new glasses.  I can't tell you what I thought MR BK wrote in the notes when he wrote House of Pies.....because this is a family site.

I had a time-shifting change-shifting dream last night; I'm not sure now which came first, the family or friends, but I was with friends - I think E&T DR Ben and Anthony were among them - at some sort of gathering and one ofr the treats was some ice cream dish with fresh strawberries.  Then I was eating ice cream with strawberries and playing with a lot of kittens at my Aunt Jean's home in Hamilton, OH. My brother Randy was very small so I was probably no older than twelve or so.

My other dream, which may have been part of this, was about a chord - A-minor, which could have been a D-ninth or an F-sharp minor seventh with a flatted five - and this strange cluster of notes above it - B, D, E - and my constant question: what chord do you want here?

Yet another dream that, at last count, combined at least three common dream themes, and brought in three or four situations based on both recent and decades-old events.

TOD:

Mrs. Nora Borgstrom at Garfield High School in Seattle.  She gave me the lead in the senior play (A SLIGHT CASE OF MURDER) and encouraged my dreams to go into show biz.

If any teacher made me think of becoming a serial killer, it was Miss Louella Hart, who taught social studies at Garfield.  She was a cold fish.  No matter how well you were doing, she always made you feel that you were failing her course.

Charlotte and I have decided to see a movie this week.  The times tomorrow are lousy, primarily because she's booked until 2:00 and the early afternoon showings all happen around 1:30.  I've offered her these options:
Victor Frankenstein
Trumbo
Legend
Spotlight
Brooklyn


I think she would like as well the latest edition of The Hunger Games.  I'd rather die.

TOD: Here's a shoutout to Zera Baird, my high school Latin teacher. She only taught one year (she had had a full slate of classes when she started, but the appeal had dwindled over the years). She taught me more about English grammar than any other teacher. She was a delightful, droll woman.

I had her after she had had a stroke that left half of her face paralyzed. It didn't matter. For the three or four of us who were involved and interested in Latin, she gave it all she had.

She was an odd duck visually. She had the same pantsuit and pumps and earrings in five different patterns and wore one each day of the week.

But one of that mattered. In a sea of burnouts, she was vibrant and vital and she sparked a will to learn.

Back from lunch meeting and picking up packages.  Two screeners arrived today - Bridge of Spies and Steve Jobs.  Luckily I arrived just as the UPS truck did - even though I signed for both packages electronically and received confirmation of that, the UPS man was still being instructed to get a signature, which is bogus.  He told me the same thing has just happened to a neighbor down the street - they signed electronically and yet had they not been home to sign in person the package would not have been left.  So, he suggested I call and find out if the system is glitching or what - I'm on hold now trying to do just that.  The problem, of course, is that I'm not talking to an agent based in, you know, the United States of America, where this problem is occurring.

The doctors may not know what it means, either. I had some several years ago, eventually resulting in a biopsy. Mine proved to be cysts, which were dealt with during the biopsy. If that's what it is, there's no cause for concern. My best for her.

DR George, I recommend Closys mouthwash. I used to have problems with bleeding gums, plus barnacles (hardened plaque). Things cleared up in two weeks after using Closys daily. I had gum pockets, too. Now I have easy cleanings--easy for me and easy for the hygienist. Available from Amazon.

I spent an hour and twenty minutes on the phone with my health insurance company today, still trying to straighten out the nonsense over my new glasses. It never fails to amaze me: we can develop new technologies to improve surgery, but when it comes to providing clear direction or a straight answer, no. At least I spoke to a very nice fellow, who was trying his best. I took his extension number and told him I want to speak to ONLY him until this has been resolved. I do NOT want to have to go into the whole story again with yet another person. He was amenable.

TOD: Here's a shoutout to Zera Baird, my high school Latin teacher. She only taught one year (she had had a full slate of classes when she started, but the appeal had dwindled over the years). She taught me more about English grammar than any other teacher. She was a delightful, droll woman.

I had her after she had had a stroke that left half of her face paralyzed. It didn't matter. For the three or four of us who were involved and interested in Latin, she gave it all she had.

She was an odd duck visually. She had the same pantsuit and pumps and earrings in five different patterns and wore one each day of the week.

But one of that mattered. In a sea of burnouts, she was vibrant and vital and she sparked a will to learn.

Your tribute makes me wish I had met her.

She was a marvel. I had some other teachers that I liked as people, but she was the only teacher I liked as a teacher, as someone who sparked my interest in what they were teaching, until my master's program.

We discussed our upcoming season, what shows and when, as well as some special events.  We are planning on doing evenings of readings of works by one author.  Our first event will be December 11th and 12th and it'll be an evening of Edgar Allen Poe.  I even get to read one piece!  Hopefully, people will want to see these sorts of events.
