It was 56, count 'em, 56 years ago TODAY that I was born.  Of course, I was born at 11:55 pm in the eastern time zone, so I'm not exactly 56 years old, yet.

Post by: ChasSmith on May 05, 2022, 05:24:09 AM
I don't know if I can come up with favorite heist movies this morning, but I first saw FIRST NUDIE at Mann's Westwood. I've continually been haunted over the years by the possibility that I also saw it at the Fox on Hollywood Blvd., but I've come up with absolutely no proof. Well, I don't have proof either way, but I know I went to Westwood for it. And I can well imagine sitting in the Fox watching it. So there.

I never had it on home video till the Blu-ray was released, so I've never seen the DVD. But that Blu-ray was part of the impetus for me discovering and eventually coming to haineshisway.com. BK and others had promoted it on Home Theater Forum and I duly ordered it and watched and had a great time with it, and it was around then that I began to peek into this place. The rest, as they say, is history.

News from yesterday (and which you may wish to skip):

I was in dire physical stress yesterday and called a physical therapy place in Aiken SC to ask if I needed a referral and what their charges were.  With Medicare, they were minimal charges, but to use it would require a physician's referral.  The charges were reasonable, otherwise, for one or two visits.

I then called my chiropractor, who had advised me to seek physical therapy, and asked if he gave referrals.  He explained that he did not as he does not accept Medicare patients and, thus, cannot refer anyone who wants to use Medicare.

He did urge me to come see him as he thought he could help me.  So, I embarked on a journey to Leesville, limped painfully into his office and sat down.

When it was my turn, I explained to him how I was feeling and that I had fallen Monday morning when I stupidly made a turn on my left leg without bracing myself.

He got me on the table and had me stretch my legs out.  My right leg was a couple of inches shorter, he said, and that he would need to unlock my pelvis to correct it.  He had me put one leg over the other and did something I could not see.  Rather, I "felt" it.

He declared my legs to be of even lengths and asked me to stand and walk a bit.   I could tell that it was better, but I had a devastating pain in my left knee.

I limped back to my car, sat down and settled into the most comfortable position I could, hoping that the pain would go away.

As I began my drive home, I felt my left leg relax and the pain abated.  By the time I reached home, I was able to get out of my car and walk normally -- if slowly -- into the house without my cane.

Suffice it to say, I was coping much more easily.

Next thing:  My cousin Butch called to invite me to have Mother's Day lunch with him and his fiancee, Sharon, at the club on Sunday.   I told him I would, but that I might be a bit wobbly because I am sure I have a case of sciatica. The VA will see me but not until May 19.

He offered to prescribe prednisone (he's a GP) which he thought would help ease any swelling that might impact the sciatic nerve.  He explained he could not guarantee complete success but felt it would help.  It's non-narcotic and non-addictive, so he felt it would be worthwhile to try.

Will obviously keep everyone posted.

My next appointment with my doctor is July 22 - so if after seeing the results today, he doesn't call me - I'm going to assume it isn't a life threatening or deadly serious condition.....and my phone hasn't rang yet.

Not to get political, but here's a Twitter thread about how:

"For Jews who can become pregnant, access to abortion services is a religious *requirement*, and has been for thousands of years. Surprised? Let's dig into some of the texts...."

Thanks.  The odd thing to me was when I looked at the bottle once I got home the instruction read "6,6,5,5,4,4,3,3,2,2,1,1 daily",

I guessed, from the quantity in the bottle, that it meant, per dose.  I called Butch to verify, and he said it was so...and warned me to only take it after a meal.  So, I had lunch and took my first six tablets.

During lunch today, I watched a movie on MGMHD called "It Could Happen to You", a 1994 rom-com starring Nicolas Cage and Bridget Fonda.   I remember liking it and enjoying the music in the film.

Funnily enough, the CD soundtrack featured all the songs used, which were very good, but managed to include some rather nice tracks from the orchestral underscore written by one of my very favorite film composers, Carter Burwell. He has scored many wonderful films, including "Gods and Monsters".

I thoroughly enjoyed it again, although the courtroom sequence is a bit farfetched in terms of credibility. Rosie Perez has a field day as Cage's ex-wife making her bid to claim all the money from his lottery win (he had gotten one of her numbers wrong, but won anyway).

I know this may sound crazy - but I had one of these that eased a lot of pain in my leg and back.

The BE ACTIVE Knee Brace....maybe you can find one on Ebay that doesn't have to come all the way from China.  It's shown as having to be pulled on like socks, but I cut mine so I could just wrap it around my knee.

Okay, so a coworker and I have developed a horror/noir movie plot outline. A person's cats discover they can take out insurance on their owner.

Tagline: They have nine lives. How many can you spare?

Annabelle's had a policy on me for several years now.

I wonder if the programme for DR GEORGE's show will be like the Broadway one - that just listed all the songs on one page and didn't let people know what was coming next they weren't in show order.....it was like that in the tour programme as well.

I haven't seen a mock-up of the program, so I don't know.

DR George, a nice birthday present would be for the dealership to call you today to advise on the status of your new car.

Exactly!!

A couple of interesting Hockey Playoff games tonight.

At one point last night in the Bruins vs Hurricanes game - there were FOUR Bruins in the penalty box at the same time.

This has been a crazy week. No appointments -- yay! -- so it's let's-get-things-done week. Well, you know what happens  -- life intervenes. I was home all day Tuesday waiting for the plumber, who didn't arrive until 4:30. The bathroom sink now drains, but the tub drains very, very slowly. He told me he'd fixed it, but clearly he didn't. I'll try some Mr Plumber; I do not like having to adjust my schedule to accommodate these people.

Yesterday the power company was here and had to turn off the power for a couple hours. We were warned in advance, but I usually forget that wi-fi requires electricity. It was also not a good day pain-wise, so that didn't help.

I've gotten as far as opening the bottle. That required some ingenuity and the pliers. I'll give you a full report as soon as I've made an assessment.

I have zero say. He had to fix something for my neighbor after me and I suspect he was tired and wanted to go home. Still, I don't appreciate the rushed treatment.

But at least he's civil. The plumber they used to use would always yell as me, saying things like, "You have to stop doing that!" I suspect he was really yelling at his wife or kids, but it got directed at me.

BTW, Jack, a friend told me that he recently had dinner with an astrologer we both know. She said that on May 14 there will be a major change, which will prompt people to rethink their lives. Do you know anything about this? I would think that the events of the last six years would have done some of that.

No, the bottle has a special design to keep the solution sterile so single-dose containers aren't necessary. Thus the difficulty opening the bottle. I thought the $14 price was a big high, but it turned out to be a 3-pack, ie, three .33 oz bottles.

Is it at all like the Similasan bottle?  It took me a bit to get comfortable using it, but not opening it.

I found a video on Refresh showing how to open the bottle.  I gather it was the green top that was the difficult part.  Of course it is shown as being easily lifted off the bottle.

Bruce you will have to tell me the date I initially saw THE FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL.  I thought you had invited us to the premier, however, I believe you corrected my memory and said it was an earlier showing we went to.

I was sent a message on Messenger I am sure is a scam.  It said "Look who died".  I am not opening the link until I have confirmed it is truly a personal message.  In a private message why would I need to see a link prior to telling me the name of the person.
