My cousin John just posted this on Facebook:
My cousin in New York, is writing a "children's book for adults" about his life with his 2 cats. By the time I got to page 25, I had to find a kitten and named it Wanda.

This bird is not Wanda.  My family is eccentric but we're not that eccentric.  I just like this photo of John.

I went into the bathroom to clean the litter, and found Stella sitting among more shredded toilet paper and the mangled role.  I kept my cool. I don't think I screamed and yelled for more than thirty seconds.

If any DR who is a movie fan has not read Danny Peary's books - I think there are three volumes - Cult Movies, they are highly recommended by the likes of me.....fun and knowledgeable and includes many things I didn't know about some of my favorite films.

Of course I read them before the inner webs made put such knowledge at your fingertips.  But Peary's observations and facts can be depended upon.

I am pleased to announce that my new one-person play, PETER LORRE, is now available in paperback and Kindle editions via Amazon.

Humphrey Bogart, Sydney Greenstreet, Boris Karloff, Vincent Price: Peter has stories about them all.

This is the 28th play in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS Collection.

Production rights are available. 

Soon, I will be seeking the right voice actor to do an audio version.

I will have my virtual appt. with my surgeon today.

I want to ask him if my immune system is still considered compromised....if that is so I am not permitted to work in the theatre even after the July 4 OPEN.....'

The President sent out a reminder for the theatre meeting this afternoon and included the list that I was talking about yesterday and said he didn't know how we could meet those guidelines.....just as I was saying in my post yesterday....imagine that!

I've been craving a return to the Tati films for quite a while, and when I decide to take the plunge I'll definitely take them chronologically (which I've never done).

I believe I've seen the first one only once, so it will make a good re-induction. But I've especially looked forward to revisiting MON ONCLE and savoring every detail. It clearly looks ahead to PLAYTIME and has some amazing set pieces. Well, they all having amazing set pieces.

Speaking of revival houses yesterday, it seems like I was always seeing that MON ONCLE was being shown somewhere, and I'm sorry to say I never saw it at a theater. It was eventually a laserdisc discovery for me. In fact, the only Tati I've seen at a theater was that showing of PLAYTIME in NYC several years ago.

After a couple of frustrating weeks of trying to confirm the order for my lab work, make an appointment, discover if the lab location at the hospital was moved, & finding out where it did move to......I had my "appointment" this morning.

Title: Re: THERE ARE A MILLION STORIES IN THE NAKED CITY
Post by: Jane on May 06, 2020, 09:19:50 AM
The lab was just moved to another building at the hospital complex.  Quest Diagnostics does not tell me which tests were ordered, or have the option to do so.  That is supposed to show up on my Peace Health hospital patient info but it doesn't.  Guess what, as with last year my order was not complete.  At least this time the lab technician was able to reach my doctor immediately and not have to wait.

Wednesday afternoon greetings!  An hour from now I will be in our primary care physician's office for a routine check and Rx update.  They're only seeing patients for "well visits," which is reassuring and slightly amusing at the same time.  If you're sick, they want to see you in the parking lot or in their basement, which has a separate entrance.  I'll make myself a bandana mask.

Stella had another round at the toilet paper, so every time I go near the bathroom door I get the vapors.  I did discover a terrible leak in the pipe running from the toilet into the wall, so Jeff our super - nice man but not as quick as Val - came up and repaired it.  Stella watched with great interest so my next fear is that I will go into the bathroom and find she's taken the toilet apart.

While social distancing 6 feet from our neighbor, and petting her dog, I asked how her father was.  Yesterday he was in the hospital and not doing well.  She said he passed away last night.  I looked at her and said I wish I could give her a hug, at which point she broke down a bit.  It is bad enough to lose someone during these times, worse not to get hugs of comfort.  At least she was with him and it was due to other medical issues he has been having, not covid.

I was surprised when the boys received an oral version as children and asked Bryan if babies still get vaccinated.  He said no and that polio was barely mentioned in medical school.  He also insisted he hadn't been vaccinated.  To my relief I haven't lost my memory.  He sorted through his file which included proof of vaccinations he needed for medical school and found he had 4 doses of it. 

Along with proof of vaccinations he had to titer for all childhood deceases to show he still had protection from either the illness or vaccinations.  He was not required to titer for polio.

Thank you for the doctor visit vibes.  It went fine - good blood pressure, no weight gain since I was there last, and a painless "Grandma" shot.  That's actually a DPT booster to prevent you from giving a baby whooping cough.  Not that I expect there's any urgency  :'(, but it's done now.

Only a DPT booster, without the tetanus?  I haven't heard of that.  This is the one vaccination Bryan asked us about.

Tonight brings a pandemic musical called Repo! The Genetic Opera. I don't think I'm the target audience. The all-star cast includes Sarah Brightman, Paul Sorvino, Anthony Stewart Head and Paris Hilton.

The Vixter was a huge fan of that....., when she was 15

And I think I would have loved it at that age. Instead, I was fairly bored. Surprisingly, it was because it was all just a little too tame and by the numbers.

The T in DPT is for tetanus.  I was concerned because I'd just had a tetanus shot last June when I fell and cut my face, but the doctor said it was OK (but he said I was smart to ask).  It's the P (pertussus = whooping cough) part that grandparents have to have.

The President's signature is NOT on the physical stimulus checks, but his name is on the MEMO line.

I understand that his signature is boldly there on the follow up letter that everyone will receive.

Yes, I got the follow-up letter a little bit after I received the automatically deposited stimulus money.

Today, my friend Margo and I are going to order some Mexican take-out and go to her house and eat on her porch at a respectable distance from each other. :) We haven't seen each other in quite a while, so we'll have a lot to ketchup on.

I am sure you will enjoy your visit.

I did!  We actually took our food down to the boardwalk on the waterfront, so we sat at benches overlooking the water (there were ships in the bay!...a Pacific Overtures reference ;) ) and chatted and ate and watched the jellyfish and minnows (?) in the water, and seagulls and ducks flying around the area.

Stella had another round at the toilet paper, so every time I go near the bathroom door I get the vapors.  I did discover a terrible leak in the pipe running from the toilet into the wall, so Jeff our super - nice man but not as quick as Val - came up and repaired it.  Stella watched with great interest so my next fear is that I will go into the bathroom and find she's taken the toilet apart.

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s free show this weekend is By Jeeves. I just may have to watch that one.

I bought the Region-2 DVD from England back when it was first released.  I haven't watched it in many years, so I was thinking of watching it, too. :)

While social distancing 6 feet from our neighbor, and petting her dog, I asked how her father was.  Yesterday he was in the hospital and not doing well.  She said he passed away last night.  I looked at her and said I wish I could give her a hug, at which point she broke down a bit.  It is bad enough to lose someone during these times, worse not to get hugs of comfort.  At least she was with him and it was due to other medical issues he has been having, not covid. 

That's so sad, Jane. :(

Ginny, oh, you previously only had the T part.  Did he tell you how long the P is good for?  I thought the entire DPT is good for 10 years unless you have an injury and need the tetanus booster.

We get a DPT every 10 years.

I did my weekly shopping late this morning.  As has been the case, there weren't a lot of people in the store, so that was good.  I also went to CVS and they had paper towels so I grabbed a 6- pack.

A little things that excite us these days.  Congrats on the paper towels.

Yes, the last time I bought toilet paper it was the highlight of my day.

I truly hope the shortages ease up soon.

DR Jeanne during the facebook discussion I learned that it was the sugar cubes that infected a small percentage of people taking it.  I had thought you had the Salk injection.  Do you remember which it was?

I believe my first two polio vaccines were shots, then we had the sugar cubes. It was my first vaccine that gave me the polio. That was 1956. I later learned that thousands of children died from it. There was a PBS documentary on polio that mentioned this. I believe they used a live virus for a number of years.

You had the cubes after getting sick  :o.

Hmm, I read the Salk shot was not live and the Sabin cube was.  The FDA approved some manufactures that were not up to standards that very sadly contaminated some of the shipments of the Salk vaccine.
