Well, you've read the notes, the notes were fun and had funds, and now it is time for you to post until the fully funded fun cows come home.

And the word of the day is: GUMPTIOUS!
-
Topic of the Day: I haven't read a Stephen King novel in probably 20 years, but I do remember really liking his work. The books I can remember reading and enjoying are:
The Stand (I only read the rewrite)
The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger (and maybe part 2)
Thinner
It
Misery (probably my favorite)
The Dark Half
Gerald's Game
Dolores Claiborne
The Green Mile (I think I still have my original individual six paperback volumes)
The Plant (https://stephenking.com/works/other-project/plant-zenith-rising.html)

Good morning, friends.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I had an agonizing night, but this morning I had an epiphany: it was the 40-lb carton of kitty litter that I dragged upstairs yesterday. It was the same situation last week that provoked the first round. i think the pulling, tugging, and strain have provoked the pinched discs in my lower back.So, I'll be lying on my heating pasd and reading my mystery for most of the day.
-
As soon as the pains began last night, I called my HMO and Access-a-Ride to casncel this morning's appointment with the cataract ophthalmologist. I'm not happy about tha since I really want this cataract situation taken care of ASAP.
-
I have nothing else to report. I stopped reading Stephen King's books about the time I finally read The Stand. I felt his editor wasn't good at controlling his ability to run on and on and on . . . or King was so full of himself that everyone ignored his logorrhea. I'm glad I did not read Carrie first, since I think i';s a good idea but a dud book and that the movie fixed its flaws. Thanks to our DR Ginny, my first book was The Shining, followed by 'Salem's Lot, two masterpieces.
So, here's my King list:The Shining
'Salem's Lot
Dance Macabre
Pet Sematary
Mercy
Night Shifty
Different Seasons

I have my first appointment of the week today.
It's off to Augusta to the VA for physical therapy and a visit to the lab for bloodwork for my Thursday appointment in Aiken.
Sigh.
Still, a visit to CostCo will be made on my way back home.

I have been given some tasks to accomplish this morning. And I am reviewing the blocking/dancing for tonight....
I shall return....and perhaps post some fence pictures.

Are you "on' the fence in any of them?

It's a gorgeous morning here. Temperature is 74 degrees and it's very sunny and clear.
Forecast is for more sun, a high of 92, and possible thunderstorms later on.
The humidity is a balmy 90% right now.

The only books I remember reading are Carrie and The Dhining. I also read his collection of short stories whose name I have forgotten. They had at the time I read them some of the spookiest stories I had ever read.

Just got word that Mom fell this morning and hit her head. She’s in the ER. And that’s all I know.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Vibes for your mom, DR John G.!

I just opened windows for the first time in what seems like a couple of weeks. The humidity is OUT OF HERE, there’s a very light breeze, temperatures are back in the 80s, and what a refreshing change. Having said that, it probably won’t last long, but I am loving it.
-
Sorry about your mom, DR John G.

~~~ULTRA-STRENGTH RECOVERY VIBES~~~ for her!

Back from a nice long walk in the beach. Many pretty shells collected.

That's ON the beach. Sheesh!

No word except the cause was not dehydration. She has to have a cT scan.

Whew! Just made it!

Sure did.
-
I am basically ready to leave for the airport.
-
I packed sandals to wear though I doubt I can actually walk in them because they hurt my foot.
-
If I limp my foot & toe feel better, but then my ankle hurts-lol I can't win.
-
Travel vibes for DR Jane and Keith.
-
I just ordered a new vacuum. Now if I can bring myself to use it.

Thank you.

;D What did you order?
-
Darn, we were going to miss a complete building power shut off while we were gone. It has now been postponed.
-
It was smart to postpone the shut off during our heat wave. I know I would be unhappy if the AC were turned off.
-
It is supposed to be 99 degrees today, and stay hot the rest of the week.
-
Tony Dow passed away :(
-
They're dropping like flies this week. :(
-
:(
-
I lay on the heating pad and Stella crled up ext to e for about 90 minutes. After i feed the cats, I'll returnto it while I think about dinner.
-
Tony Dow passed away :(
I just saw that. :-\
-
It is time to turn my computer off and head for the airport.
-
Have a nice day.

Thanks for your concern about Mom. Got this note from my sister:
Mom has been moved to observation. Head scan shows no bleeding . They did an EKG and they uploaded data from her pace maker and are waiting on a cardiologist to check it out. She had some brusing and a bump on her head. The nurse says she is in good spirits.
-
Three!

This is especially for DR Laura, but since Josh Hawley has been a big news topic since the lasty Jan 6 Hearing, here's an old favorite:

Very good news, John!
-
Hello, everyone.
-
The bench/shoe rack/CD shelves is now in place. My neighbor came over yesterday, verified that what I was trying to do was correct, then left! That's not exactly the sort of help I had in mind. But it's done. It just took me about five times as long as it would have taken someone with the appropriate skills.
-
Vibes to John G's mom! Vibes it's nothing serious.

Thank you for this. I forget about Randy Rainbow and God knows his humor is still much needed.

Methinks DR Ron is having some treatment fatigue. I get that from time to time; there's only so much I can take! Vibes for a break from it.
-
TTFN.

;D What did you order?
Some sort of Shark Vacuum that tackles hair. Walmart had it on sale for $85 off.

Bye, DR Jeanne.

Randy’s voice is getting better.

I'm up, I'm up - ten hours of sleep.

Sorry to hear about Tony Dow. I know he's been very sick. A sweetheart and a gentleman, he was, and a pleasure to work with. I saw he and his wife when Ray Courts tried to do a Hollywood Show again - I did it, and Tony and his wife were there. We had a nice chat and I ended up sending them a DVD of Weekday Heroes.
-
That is an encouraging update. Thanks for letting us know.
-
We just boarded our over sold flight.
-
SAFE AND EASY TRAVELS, DR Jane!
-
Apparently Tony Dow is still alive, but in hospice.

Yup. WaPo posted a correction. Two sources for his passing. One from his manager. Wild.

So, my birthday is in a couple of weeks, my mail today consisted of:
Invitations from 3 different companies inviting me to call for supplemental Medicaid insurance
Invitation from local funeral home to consider “pre-need planning”
Invitation from local cemetery to consider purchasing a spot in their “peaceful memorial park”
-
Happy Birthday , you’ll probably be infirm or dead soon!
-
How very thoughtful of them, DR vixmom!
-
So very solicitous.
-
I am full and sleepy.
-
Which seems to be the way of things this week.
-
We are finishing off the last stash of Christmas cookies direct from the freezer.
-
Why would his manager post he died. I hate when people do that.
-
I have literally done nothing at all today except forward orders for shipping and talk to potential cameramen for the web series.
-
Finally eating some food - fried catfish.
-
So it truly is Christmas in July.
-
Good night, friends.
-
Gratuitous Post #101!!

It's more like "aging fatigue"!!!
-

Because his wife and family reported it to his manager!! Without a doctor's assertion of the facts!
I think it's only fair to say that they are enduring a post-surgery death watch and believed Dow had finally passed.
But....there is always that "but" until an expert weighs in.
-
My physical therapy was INTENSE today, but fun.
I knew when it was nearly over that I would pay for it tonight.
And I am paying for it.
Still, it sort of feels "good" when it doesn't hurt.
-
Finally finished forwarding orders. Whew!

Had a lovely dinner at a French restaurant I had not been to. Mushroom tart, pork smothered in porcini butter with a raclette-based mac and cheese, chocolate pot de creme.
-
We were seated in a corner of the restaurant with only a few other tables in it. Some time after we were eating, a lesbian couple was seated two tables away and began to make out and take selfies of it. The hostess came up with another pair of women to sit between us. No way. One woman must have recognized a woman in the other couple, because she immediately asked to be seated in the main dining area. Very funny dynamics.
-
We then went on to a wonderful bar in a neighboring hotel.
-
All in all, fun for a Tuesday night.
-
I need to get to sleep.
-
Do we think that over two HOURS is a rather long LULL?
-
Do we?
-
It is most unseemly.
-
We were on track to have the largest posting month and most visits in ages, but the last few days has hurt that. Let's not flag now.
-
And do not forget that flag is galf spelled backwards. Time to write some notes and hopefully we'll have a plethora of postings by the time I finish.
-
I kid you not and I not you kid.
-
I'm seriously serious.
-
Get to it.
-
Oh dear. No TCB, no George - this is not good.
-
RECOVERY VIBES FOR JOHN’S MOM!
-
There are thirty minutes to post and yet the jernt is bereft of anyone. I shan't have a good thing to say if this remains the situation when I check back.
-
Finally, the prodigal TCB is back! Now, where's George?
-
T.O.D.
THE STAND
CARRIE
THE SHINING (only the book)
-
WHERE IS GEORGE???
-
George is where?
-
Is this one of those nights where he'll just not show up at all?
-
That would be unseemly.
-
Well, back to finishing the notes.
-
Happy Birthday , you’ll probably be infirm or dead soon!
Just about once a month, I get a friendly reminder from The Neptune Society.

Perhaps vixmom shouldn’t have forwarded all that mail to Tony Dow’s family.
-
I kid you not and I not you kid.
Every time you do that, I hear that song from CAROL CHRISTMAS playing in my head.

I was reading your notes.

No...not this time. ::)
-
Not much to add, but I'm here.
-
It's 90.2° F in my bedroom right now.
-
That's not the hottest that it's ever been.
-
I have a little fan that creates enough of a breeze that it's comfortable.
-
I hate the people at the pulmonary office!
-
The PA acted like I had booked the appointment and she wasn’t really sure why I was there. WTF?
-
She asked why I hadn’t booked my appointment at the UW that she had suggested. I told her I could not afford the appointments, nor the price of gas to go up there.
-
She just starred at me like I was off my rocker. She asked me how I expected to treat my ILD if I didn’t follow her advice.

What a b*tch! >:(
-
That’s right. My ILD. I asked what that that was and she honestly looked at me like I was brain dead.
-
She said that had been telling me about that since I first came in to their office. So, I asked about my COPD. and she honestly said to me that my latest breath tests showed that I probably did have COPD, but the real problem was the ILD.
-
Thank goodness George showed up.
-
He saved us from a lowish posting day.
-
And that's the truth of the matter.
-
New notes are up.
-
I couldn’t wait to get out of there. I just shut-up, nodded my head, and asked for a new referral for the UW.
-
Up are new notes.

Excuse me?

What about Tom??

Excuse me?
I agree!
-
We all helped!

Gratuitous Post #160!

The notes are up, in case anyone is confused.

By the way, ILD is an incurable and usually fatal disease.
