Well, the pains I had yesterday morning in my lower left back are back.  Bt noon yesterday they had eased up, and by late afternoon they were gone.  I got this morning around 4:00am and I felt fine.  At 6:45 I could barely move, so I think it's a pinched nerve.  I don't like it.

I had a doozy of a dream:  it was in my parents' house I grew up, the Middletown OH of the 1970s, Germantown OH, and Manhattan.  I was baking brownies from a box of brownie mix, I went to see Dr Aimee Richmond - our family doctor in the 1970s - and wrote a check for $28.00.  Before I left, I asked her if my current sinus problem was an allergy to the cats. My mother picked me up, and I told here I had to be at City Center by noon.  Back at the house, I made egg salad, showed my mother the brownies, and she said something like "that box mix was older than the hills."

We were in the car, parked, and my mother was staring out at Germantown dam.  I was telling her to wake up; I had to get to City Center.

I had an interesting dream, too, a weird one (as opposed to all my other weird ones?) that I shan't try to describe. But, perhaps like DR Elmore's, it was just different enough from the "norm" to cause me to say:  weird.
Title: Re: THE SHANK OF THE EVENING
Post by: elmore3003 on March 20, 2019, 05:44:10 AM
The pain comes and goes, so I think it's a nerve.  When I got out of my computer chair to clean the litter, I was fine,  When I stood up after cleaning the litter, it was an ordeal standing upright.  Annabelle and I made our patrol and she wanted to play tag aka I run, you chase. If it's a nerve, it means I'm not walking up and down steps enough.  I must rectify this.

Pain vibes for DR ELMORE.

The Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dream is your body telling you that changing something in your diet will improve your health greatly and that it is something in the physical realm within your power that is causing your pain.....your body is also reminding you that you are NOT 21 years old anymore even though your mind has a different idea.....

DR JOHN G thanks for the Carol Burnett report.  Her Lucy story reminded me of this:

On the first day that Lucy drove onto the RKO lot, now named Desilu Gower....the guard was very flustered to see her.  He was not sure if he should call her Mrs. Arnaz or Miss Ball....so he fumfered a bit and then came out with:  "Good morning, Mrs. Arballs."

I agree.  But that's what these series do - every episode has to have a bit cliffhanger and new potential villain, and then they always need the "wow" moment at the end, the final thing and they don't care how implausible it is.  I found it ALL implausible after episode five.

DR TCB I think that if you like hamburgers or cheeseburgers in general you should try a WHOPPER.

You can get any number of toppings or NONE and ALL....it is BIG and can be messy.....but it is a real burger.  I always have mine with lettuce, mayo, tomato, cheese, onion, and pickles....

Sometimes I get the DOUBLE WHOPPER - but I really have to be hungry to eat that!

Yes, you can. There is a special bike/hike trail. And they’ve extended the River Walk to go past each of them, I am told. I haven’t done all of the missions in one day like this for more than 10 years.

George, did TAO ever do EVIL DEAD; THE MUSICAL?

No, but it was something that we had looked at before.  We mainly didn't get a chance to do it because the rights were so expensive compared to other shows. :-\

That was very nice of them.

The kitties' dishes are washed, and I need to fill the water dishes and Thatch's kibble bowl for the night.  Then the three of us will settle in to watch Episode Two of the last BBC adaptation of Emma with Romola Garai.  We tried watching the 5-hour Ivanhoe with Steven Waddington as the lead, but it was too dark, too murky, and I could not tell one actor from another.

Starting to watch Free Solo, which won the Oscar for best documentary. It's fascinating and the photography is gorgeous. But it's a subject in which I have no personal interest in ever attempting, plus I do have a fear of heights, which the movie is working on. So, yes, it's taking me places I would never go, but I'm not making as much of a personal or emotional connection. I thought RGB, Three Identical Strangers and Will You Be My Neighbor were all much more involving.

You can drive along the river from mission to mission on bicycle. It’s about 10 miles total from the first mission to the fourth. But i think we’re going by car.

Can you walk it?  I would enjoy that.

Yes, you can. There is a special bike/hike trail. And they’ve extended the River Walk to go past each of them, I am told. I haven’t done all of the missions in one day like this for more than 10 years.

I think I would enjoy that.  We took a nice long walk on the River Walk,  way past all of the crowds.  I don't recall seeing any missions.

Next lesson is tomorrow night. I help my teacher Joy out with group classes she has. This month, it's country two-step, quickstep and Viennese waltz.

Then on Saturday I have a lesson with the other teacher, Esteban, who is pulling out my back teeth in his efforts to make me a better dancer with Joy. And Saturday night, it's dancing for fun.
