Well, you've read the notes, the notes had food poisoning, and now it is time for you to post until the food poisoned cows come home.

And the word of the day is: LAUDABLE!

Two more.

And here it is.

Got it! Hang on, let me post it.

Good morning, friends.

~~~CONTINUED COMFORT & COPING VIBES~~~ for DR DR Iris and her mother.
-
The very first time I came to NYC was to visit my eldest sister who lived in a tiny apt in one of the turret-like structures in the Ansonia. I remember her bathroom had a window that looked into a shaft. it was it was spooky, but you could hear the odd opera singer practicing scales or other artistic sounds wafting up from other apartments. Seemed magical. The ground floor housed a Tower Records at that time. For years after she moved, until post 9/11, I could confidently walk in the lobby past the doormen, take the elevator to the top floor and walk up to the roof for a great view.
-
And here’s an old clip of Jay & the Americans singing up on that very rooftop.

A Tower Records in the basement would have been extremely damaging to my wallet.
-
Good morning, all!
-
DR Rodzinski, around 1984, I had Thanksgiving dinner in one of the Ansonia tower apartments. It was the home of a celebrated scene-costume designer (Zack Brown, maybe?) and my friend Bill Tynes was watching the apartment while the designer was off on a job. It turned out to be the tower apartment haunted by the ghost of a little girl that's been mentioned in several books about the Ansonia and the Upper West side.
-
And so to my adventures yesterday. I was due to arrive at the surgical center by 1:30 so I scheduled my AAR pickup at 12:00 - O never know how late the driver will be, how traffic will be, and I prefer to arrive early. So, the car arrived on time, and I was on my way by 12:15. The driver had another passenger on East 73rd Street to pick up as well. So, the passenger was a pleasant, very old actress named Joyce and she was traveling with her assistant , a middle-aged gentleman that I had the impression of being a retired dancer, They talked about the movie Scarlet Street and Ida Lupino all the way to my destination on East 22nd Street.
-
I arrived at the surgery center just around 1:00. I was checked in after giving them my debit card and signing a million forms. At 1:30 I was taken ionto the pre-surgery area where I was dosed five times in the next two hours with about five different medications to numb my eyeball and to dilate the eye. By 3:30 I had finished Larry Blank's memoir I Was Playing Their Song, and I was taken by wheelchair to Operating Room #3, where I was worked over. The surgery was finished by 4:00.
-
The surgery last October was a piece of cake. Yesterday's surgery seemed twice as long, painful, and - hope I'm wrong - not easy. About halfway through it, I began to fear the numbness was wearing off, and there were several sharp shocks. I know some of it was pressure, some may have been my nerves, but the surgeon said that there was problem with the cataract and it was buried deep in the eyeball. I don't remember my eye hurting after the last surgery, perhaps it did, but my eye yesterday resulted in two different pain pills and an extra one to take at bedtime.
-
There is no pain this morning, and I'm hoping that the post-surgical follow-up today is positive. So, I see Dr. Vadada this morning, after which I will go to my pharmacy to pick yp the three sets of eyedrops I will need for the next month. I'll then go to Staples and scan the three ballet scores that Doug is waiting on. Then, I will come home, check the scans from Staples and email them to Doug, aet the alarm on my cell phone for the four times a day to take the eyedrops, and get on with my life.
-
Thanks for the updates, DR elmore3003. Glad that things seem to be on the mend.
~~~CONTINUED HEALING VIBES~~~
-
I've had too many cases of gastrointeritise and food poisoning, the worst being from day-old pizza. Iy was a party in Queens, and I stayed over, sleeping on the floor. I awoke around 6:00 am, Sunday morning, knowing I was going to be sick. I left my friends a note, took the subway (RR?maybe) to 42nd Street, praying don't let me thrown up here, where I transferred to the Broadway Local, praying don't let me throw up here. I got off the train at 79th and Broadway and walked past all these dressed-up churchgoers strolling around 8:00 to 9:00 on Broadway. I got to the corner of Broadway and 80th Street where I threw up all over myself and the sidewalk. Completely humiliated, I walk3ed-ran the two blocks to my apartment where I spent the remainder of the day being violently ill.
-
~~~CONTINUED MAJOR MIRACLE VIBES~~~ for BK!!!

And congratulations to BK on his lofty new perch in the HHW firmament. And to DR George for capturing it for posterity.

This will be detailed in my new memoir, The Less Humiliating Moments of a Pathetic Existence.

So, Elmore, how was Larry Blank’s memoir?

Chateaubriand.

I have that book, but haven't read it yet.

Looking forward to it.

TOD:
I was sailing on a three-masted schooner off the coast of Maine. We went ashore and a small festival was going on. The local mussels council was giving away samples and I enjoyed two servings over the span of a few hours. I love mussels, but they don’t always like me. That night I was violently ill. The rocking of the boat only made matters worse.

An amazing procedure, this cataract surgery. Even when they had trouble digging out (ew!) DR Elmore's cataract, he was only on the table for half an hour.
Maybe you already told us this, but what kind of sedation is used to keep the patient calm but alert, if that's a way to describe it?

I think there were a couple of additional times, but the three that always come to mind are:
1st time, 1972 - In my last year at school while living in a nice older apartment in Cleveland Heights, a group of us ate at a jernt featuring barbecue. I don't mean authentic southern BBQ, who knows what it was. But it sure was tasty...until later that night when I woke up and it wasn't tasty going in the wrong direction. I remember how the claw-foot bathtub was right next to the terlit, and I was basically, um, using both at the same time. Repeatedly. It was horrible, and my roommates were true heroes for getting the place cleaned up the following morning while I recovered.
2nd, 1986 - Living in Schaumburg, IL for a year, I pulled a similar all-nighter flushing myself out at both ends. I mainly remember calling into the office that morning and speaking to an assistant...who had suffered the exact same thing. From that, you'd assume we were all out together at the same place the evening before, but I've never remembered anything about it, and I believe that was unlikely.
3rd, around 2000 - Right here in this house. We'd been to a fun retro-themed party at a friend's house where I'd eaten a salisbury steak TV dinner, an old standard from childhood. Actually, we don't know what to blame it on, but we blamed it on the salisbury steak because a few years after that I had it again somewhere (not in a TV dinner) and found myself feeling icky later. (I think that's as far as it went that time.) There's no earthly reason for that kind of food bothering me, and the two events had to be pure coincidence. But I do wonder what I'll do when next confronted with a choice between salisbury steak and something else...
-
Nice notes!
I hope the actor singer realizes what good hands he is in.
Enjoy the play vibes for MR BK.

Thanks for the update DR ELMORE.

DR JOHN G I also enjoy Since You Went Away.....everyone does a very nice job and it certainly was "as it was happening....."
This may be have been Guy Madison's first movie.....maybe

I liked that video DR RODZINSKI.....J/Americans was one of my favorite bands.....but I haven't thought of them in a L O N G time.

Two of the Americans kidnapped in Matamoros have been found dead. Truly scary.

The last time we went — about 10 years ago—the Mexican passport control asked why we would risk it. 50 or so people had been killed there the day before.

I love a great margarita and authentic Mexican food, but that price is a little too high to pay.

DR JANE I am sorry I mixed up your ologists.

Hey, just splatter my password all over the place, why don'tcha?
-
DR Jrand72, I forget that you know your way around sign language. I greatly admire that. Do you have any video?
A bunch of us in either junior high or high school more or less taught ourselves the alphabet and tried communicating little things to each other with it. I forget what started that, but most likely The Miracle Worker...which of course was a huge thing then.
-
I probably reported this last summer, but we attended an outdoor community theeder production of The Sound of Music, and it happened to be on the night they had a guest signer (is that the correct word?) and a large group of hearing impaired people attending. The production wasn't anything to write home about (so I didn't), but we were absolutely transfixed watching the woman doing the signing. Not only was her presence at the side of the stage not a distraction, she actually made the whole evening better.
-
The butter made the bitter batter better.

And here's BK's newest millstone!!
Cool :)

I gave up trying to sleep about an hour ago. It's going to be a long day.
Sometimes I feel worse the day after, even if I get some sleep.
-
No videos DR CHAS SMITH.....but I use signed English which is what I learned in the 1990's.
What is most common now is ASL or American Sign Language which has its own rules and syntax....and make full use of the face and body for emphasis.
-
Sending vibes of comfort and coping to DR Iris. I hope your mother is without pain.
-
Sometimes when there is a cast party talent show, I will sign a song...the most popular being The Rose and a song I learned from a BK produced CD: New Words......
This is not the CD....but it's the song.

I had to look up Matamoros to see where it is. Drive wise, I can see why it was a fun trip for you.

Tonight is the Worm Full Moon (full moon in Virgo) that will happen very close to the hour of Saturn moving from Aquarius to Pisces.
So we will have lots of opportunities ahead the rest of the year.....and lots of thinking and deciding which way we wish to go. There is no wrong way - so choose what makes you happy!
-
Ah yes. ASL would be difficult with a sore shoulder DR JANE.
-
Our Broadway tours used to have a signer. The two funniest ones to watch were Book of Mormon and A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder.

I've gone to Mexico twice: both times were to take church donations to an orphanage we supported. It was about a mile over the border, but it was another world.

I have no idea what drugns were used either via eyedrops or the anesthesiologist, but my forehead was taped to the table so it could not move.
-
Dr Vadada is very pleased with the outcome, and I now have 20/20 vision in what was virtually a 90% blind eye. The pains are gone.

The movie version of Camelot is my cousin's wife's absolute favorite movie. A few years ago, I <ahem> procured a digital copy of an expanded soundtrack that was created, remixed and remastered by a fan, so it's not an official release. ::) However, it's really well done!

I burned a copy of the 2-disc set for my cousin's wife and she (and my cousin, too) just absolutely loved it. :)

Hello, everyone.

MEGA GOOD NEWS from Elmore!
I'm sorry the second surgery was difficult and you were in pain. I've never heard of this sort of complication, but so glad all is well now. May this continue -- good vision and no pain.
You'll still need to wear glasses for reading, won't you?
-
My eye surgery, and all the others I've heard of, required two weeks of three types of eye drops BEFORE the surgery on a complicated schedule and very little afterwards. I wonder why yours was different.
-
I'm amazed you could work so soon. You have to wear an eye patch, don't you?

The sedation I had was called twilight sedation. I was told I'd be aware of what's going on, but wouldn't feel any pain. Wrong! I was completely out for both surgeries. The surgery itself usually takes only 15 minutes. Roll 'em in, roll 'em out.

When I was a sophomore in college I was running low in funds and one more quarter of school wouldn't buy me anything, so I spend my remaining funds on a trip to Europe. In Germany I met two young American women who were just a few years older than I was. They were roommates and both working there. They suggested I make a stop in Cologne to visit. I did. I recall having to bathe in a portable bathtub in the living room of their apartment.
We went to dinner at a restaurant they suggested. They'd mentioned that there had been some problems with tainted food, but that had cleared up. From the restaurant I took the train to Frankfurt to board my flight home. A couple minutes before boarding I started feeling queasy, but it was too late to back out. Once on the plane the heaving started. I needed to drink water, but they had no safe water on the plane!! I heaved for the whole flight. I felt so bad for the woman seated near me. She was a German woman and very stoic about it. From that day on I've not been able to EVEN THINK about eating German food.

Keith got food poisoning on a business trip in South America. He still talks about a horrible flight while sick, and having to push people out of the way to get into the bathroom.
-
I don't know if I have ever had food poisoning. It could have been food poisoning, or simply my sensitive stomach. How could I not know, because I can get very sick with simply my sensitive stomach. Enough doctors over the years have run tests to rule out cancer because of the severity.
-
Fortunately I haven't felt like it was food poisoning in a long time.
-
Nice to see DR JEANNE.

I agree with DR JANE the mentioned song was probably cut for the obvious reason....if they can't deal with Shipoopi.....well....you know.

I’m totally taken with The January 6th Report. I was expecting dry and dull, but it’s well written, good journalism style and moves with the pace of a thriller.
-
Positive vibes for Iris and her mother!
-
Well, this Carrot Top was different from the talkie. The ending was extremely different. And while happier, it was also sad in its way.
-
Hello, Tom!
-
Hello, John
-
How is your weather down there?
-
Pretty nice. Low 80s most days now. And yours?
-
Good night, all.

Accordion to research, 9 out of 10 people fail to notice when words are replaced by random musical instruments.
😊
Got me!
-
My fellow Tom was here!
-
Let me just do something…
-
Here we go!
-
Less filling!
Tastes 8!

The home remains torn apart, but new floors in three rooms. I primed and painted two bathrooms today to save us some dough.
-
Was at one hardware store we bought paint from this summer, looking for the same kind of white we had used then. I assumed they kept our info on file like most paint stores do. The gruff old dude working there says, “We couldn’t keep people’s info like that. We’d need a computer as big as the sun!” Ok, buddy.
-
To me the message of the song is in the “wise old man” teaching the young Arthur that the way to handle a woman is to not think in terms of “handling” them at all. No machinations. Simply love her.
But by all means, the Queen-encouraged macho violence, murder, and vivisection of “You May Take Me To The Fair” is a-ok!

Good evening, Rodzinski.
-
Good even, sir!

Today I took the kids to lunch at Dairy Queen and did something I’ve never done until today, which is I ate a banana split.

Never?? :o
-
It's been years since I've had one...YEARS!! Probably more than 25!
-
My favorite thing to do was order the Peanut Buster Parfait without peanuts and with extra hot fudge!
-
Since they were exchanging one topping for another, I wouldn't have to pay extra for essentially an extra large hot fudge sundae. ;D
-
For me, it's all about the hot fudge!
-
Earlier today, I got a couple of frames for a print that I recently got from Etsy and a poster that a former co-worker gave me years ago.
-
Here's the print in a simple "certificate" frame (it's 8½x11):
-
And here's the poster that I've had for years:
-
I couldn't get a good picture because the frame had built-in acrylic to cover whatever poster was put in there.
-
However, the Phantom poster is signed...but to someone named Becca! :D
-
I was able to take a picture and make out their names and each had separately played their respective roles on Broadway!
-
Here are their signatures:
-
Found 'em...they're Julie Hanson (https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/julie-hanson-119120) and Brad Little (https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/brad-little-82742)
-
:)
-
I have no idea who Becca is, nor do I think my former co-worker knew her, or even who she was. ::)
-
Gratuitous Post #234!! :D
-
New notes are up.
-

But not too late for page nine.
-
Well, it's about durn time! ;)
-
I got involved in a telephonic conversation.
-

I got involved in a telephonic conversation.
A likely story. ;)

Listening to music.
-
I'm still here.
So is Carlotta!
