After a good night of sleep, I get a lousy one.  Stella was particularly rowdy, and poor Thatch seemed uncertain whether he wanted to sleep in my bed or in the cat tree. It was another night of strange dreams and I remember bits of two of them.

In the first I was somewhere like Goodspeed, and there was a company picnic or something,  I think our DR ChasSmith might have been in the dream.  I remember being in a rural setting with lots of festivities and celebrants; then we were indoors watching videos of Hollywood home video footage from the 30s and 40s and trying to guess some of the people.

In the second dream, I was working somewhere outside New York where the men's room is one communal space like a school gymnasium.  All I remember of this is that I had dropped something and I was sitting on the floor trying to put it back together and friends kept stopping to talk to me. One of them was a theatre grad assistant from 1968 or 1969, and the other was the director of the Miami University Theatre Dept when I was a grad student.

They did some good ones.

Ronald Reagan was originally supposed to play opposite Ida Lupino in WOMAN IN HIDING, but a few days before filming started, he broke his leg during a baseball game.  He was replaced by Howard Duff...who later married Ida.

Watching the film last night, I figure that they must have rewritten the role for Duff, as I couldn't really see Reagan in that part.

Good Morning -  I had a dream last night that I was conducting 2 performances of "The Lion King" on Broadway.  So random since I've never had any aspirations to conduct on Broadway - or even play on Broadway.  Since the show has been running for 20+ years, the orchestra didn't even bothered to watch me, but watched each other.  They all smiled and were very gracious.

I watched MOST of "8 1/2" last night.  TCM is showing the Criterion version....or at least that was the credit at the beginning.

My big problem with a LOT of these discs is that the subtitles are WHITE and when they are over white or light colored images, they are very difficult to read.....but I did get further than I ever have.

We have ported our theatre website over to Word Press, so I am on a learning curve.

It seems to be working okay.  It took me awhile to figure out how to add a link with a clickable TEXT word instead of the entire URL....but I finally got the hang of that.

There are about seven years of programs to add to the ATTENDANCE PAGE - but it will be simple.....just time consuming.

Back from the errands (long ago, actually) and putting stuff away and prepping the snowblower and other power equipment and doing laundry and eating lunch and God only knows what else. The shopping trip turned out to be fine, even though the place was pretty busy and (I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN A PICTURE - YOU WOULD HAVE LOVED IT) the bread shelves were depleted. Except for the more expensive fancier breadstuffs. I'm sorry, I didn't think to check the milk department.

So, both DR Jrand70 and I watched MOST of 8 1/2 just one night apart? And we both found the subtitles challenging because of so much white on white? I don't know about the rest of you, but I think we have all the evidence we need. Am I right? I just can't decide which of my congresspeople to notify first. I do know that when the media get ahold of this.....well, watch out.

My BFI copy of Carnival in Flanders has the same situation, only it's compounded by the fact it needs new subtitles because the old ones from the 1930s are far too polite and censored.

Annabelle is pulling her usual dinner-time crap tonight.  I put their bowls out. Stella gobbles hers down so she can get to Annabelle's and Thatch takes his dining time leisurely because once he's finished his. he eats the leftovers of the other two.

So, Annabelle ignores the dinner and tries her damnedest to get dry food out of me instead.  I pick her up and carry her to her bowl, and without seeing what treat awaits she runs away and Stella eats her food.  Then I putter around, and find Annabelle is now eating Stella's leftovers.  She does this every damned night!

I just responded to a question on FB designed bring back childhood memories.  The question is "Do you remember when doctors made house calls?"

I remember all too well and am very glad Bryan has chosen a job with set hours.

My father was the GP who made house calls. I remember hearing the phone ring in the middle of the night and then my father leaving. Whenever I watch an old movie or tv show I am reminded of family dinners at restaurants when the phone was delivered to the table. We would all wait quietly while my father talked to a patient, hoping he would not have to leave.

Post by: ChasSmith on December 16, 2020, 03:10:07 PM
We had house calls from my earliest memories of them (at age 5 or so, when we'd moved into our first new house in Whitehall, Ohio) through my junior high and high school years in Florida. So, from about 1955 through 1967 for me. Both doctors were wonderful. House calls made by the latter one might not have been as frequent, but if I was really down with something and was too miserable to be taken to his office, he'd come on out.

I have no idea how long house calls lasted once I'd gone away to school in 1967.

Our family was the earlier doctor's first set of patients, because he'd opened his office in that new housing development just as we moved in. He eventually began making us his last stop in the evening because my parents would have a pot of coffee ready and he appreciated being able to sit and talk for a while afterwards.

Between 1956 and 1963 or so we lived around the corner from our family physician and his son was one of our regular playmates. We occasionally went on housecalls with the doctor and waited for him in his car.

We had house calls from my earliest memories of them (at age 5 or so, when we'd moved into our first new house in Whitehall, Ohio) through my junior high and high school years in Florida. So, from about 1955 through 1967 for me. Both doctors were wonderful. House calls made by the latter one might not have been as frequent, but if I was really down with something and was too miserable to be taken to his office, he'd come on out.

I have no idea how long house calls lasted once I'd gone away to school in 1967.

Our family was the earlier doctor's first set of patients, because he'd opened his office in that new housing development just as we moved in. He eventually began making us his last stop in the evening because my parents would have a pot of coffee ready and he appreciated being able to sit and talk for a while afterwards.

That is a nice story of your family sharing coffee and a visit with the doctor.  I have no idea if my father ever did that with patients.  I know he often returned home with treats though some of those may have been his payment.

Interesting.  I never went on house calls with my father.  I did go to hospitals and nursing homes with him.  I wish he had taken me inside the nursing homes to visit.  They depressed him so much he made me wait in the car.

At the hospitals I usually waited in the lobby, waiting area.  That is where I once watched him deliver the sad news to a family of a death.  It is actually a cherished memory watching the compassion and comfort my father gave the family, and how much they appreciated him.

Then there was the time he intentionally took me to the hospital with him to visit a patient that was my age.  She had broken her leg riding her horse.  He left me to visit with her while he did his rounds. 

My father never went riding.  We did that with my mother.  I think he also wanted me to understand the dangers of riding ;D

I remember doctors making house calls. Our family doctor made them, as did most doctors then. He came to the house when I had polio, but there was nothing he could do. Nevertheless, it was comforting to have him make the visit.

I truly feel that the quality of health care took a plunge when doctors stopped making them. There are some patients who simply should not go into the office, both for their own health and the health of others. Concierge doctors make house calls, but they use a different business model and aren't accessible to many patients. The medical organizations of today simply don't address this issue. Your options are to call an ambulance and go to the hospital or drive to Urgent Care. Neither makes sense in certain situations. I've long felt we should bring back house calls in certain situations.

I think the best we will have is tele-visits. 

The one and only house call I had was after we were married.  I was very sick with a bad case of the flu and had a terrible cough.  I told Keith to call my father, who of course made a house call.  He left me with meds for my bronchitis.

Since then I have gone to the doctor's office with bronchitis but not with the flu.  Once, after calling a doctor in Ashland I talked her into treating me without a visit.  I told I was too sick to get into the car, but not sick enough to go to emergency.

So, I headed over to Meijer and fell in love with the place. We don't have them in San Antonio. I found watermelon radishes for next week's radish party.

I'm thinking of doing latkes with potato, radish and apple in them.

I don't know what other dishes. Maybe some raw radish ravioli, if I'm feeling adventurous.

I just listened to the 50-minute video of about 25 versions of Handel's Messiah.  Besides being wildly entertaining and informative, there were many laugh-out-loud moments. Hurwitz may not be to everyone's taste, but I love him, and I am grateful to bk for the discovery.
