I am looking forward to my haircut appointment today.

Will have lunch across the square at Park Row No. 1 (and to reiterate, there are no other Park Rows, so am not sure about the "No. 1" part of the name).

I have a major load of recyclables to drop off at the recycling center.

And I will likely stop by Cook's Roadside Produce and get some fresh maters and squash.

There are two (count ’em!) productions of Spelling Bee coming up in this immediate area, one later this month and one in December. I have friends involved with both, and I absolutely must attend both. I do enjoy the show, so seeing those two almost back to back should be most interesting … and hopefully most enjoyable.

Normally at this time of year we’d be at peak color, like, from the second week of October till about the end of the month. This year? Almost no color yet, due to the asinine (or should that be ASSinine?) weather we’ve had these past couple of months. “They” say be patient, it’ll get here. And now of course we have another rainy Saturday lined up, so…

DR JEANNE had a couple of great stories last night!
Title: Re: THE CULT OF DIFFI
Post by: Ron Pulliam on October 13, 2023, 08:25:55 AM
Aging gracefully has its drawbacks.

I am NOT currently in the barber's chair, because I was forced to cancel my appointment.

Forced, you say?  Well...obliged/obligated to do so.

Why?

Well you may ask!!!

I started out at 10 a.m.   I made a deposit at the bank.

I then drove to the recycling center and offloaded a ton of cardboard.

I had ample time left to return to Johnston and check my mail (my haircut was for 11 a.m.).

Enroute, I stopped at the cemetery and removed the urn (and very tired flower arrangement) on my folks' grave.

I picked up mail and returned to my car.

It was that moment that I realized I did not have my wallet.

What?  Unheard of.  I ALWAYS have my wallet.  I checked the car thoroughly, retraced my steps into and out of the post office (no one else had been there while I was there).  I then returned home to see if I had somehow FORGOTTEN (???) to pick it up on my way out the door.

My memory of what I did before leaving was of me checking my wallet and ensuring I had ample cash for my ambitions to get my haircut, have lunch and stop for produce.  I did have ample cash.

I raced around the house looking to see if I had carelessly left my wallet on some surface.

Nothing.  I got back into my car and went back to the cemetery to see if it might have fallen out of my pocket...but it was nowhere in sight.  Then to  the recycling center with similar non-results.

I called and cancelled my haircut. 

Dejected, I returned home pondering just how much work was ahead of me cancelling ATM and credit cards, replacing insurance cards, my driver's license, my military retiree ID card, my SSN card...in short, MY LIFE.

I got home and retraced my steps once again...looking hither, thither and even yon.

I sat down to my laptop a bit dejected.  I decided I had to notify my creditors and turned on my laptop.  A towel I use to clean my screen partially blocked my keyboard.

When I removed the towel, THERE was my wallet!  Holy Smokes!  Heavens to Betsy!  Holy Cow!

Relieved I am. 

Every single item in my wallet will now be photographed, scanned and preserved in various locations for future such occurrences.

My barber graciously rescheduled me for 1 p.m.

I am vaccinated for Covid;  CVS would not let me fet the shingles vaccine today, so I need to book that. My Access-a-Ride was booked an hour earlier than my appointment, and I was prepared to wait, but they saw me at once. I called AAR and canceled my return trip. I was home 90 minutes earlier than expected.

I stopped by Walgreen's this morning to take my brother some Tylenol Extra Strength since he is now taking those instead of a prescription pain killer.  The cashier and the woman behind me in line both liked my DEADPOOL baseball jersey.

I drove to Dr. Lobo's office.  He was looking very good.  But then it would be hard for him to look otherwise.  His nurse Sarah and he both liked my Deadpool jersey - and he noticed I was also wearing Deadpool socks.

I didn't volunteer that I also had on Deadpool boxers - but if he has x-ray vision, he knows that.

He sent me for a CEA blood draw....if it's fine then he will let me go without further yearly exams.....as Dr. Ranganath - the oncologist did in the spring.

I went to Dr. Durrell's office to get my flu shot.

Ashley who gave me my flu shot liked my Deadpool shirt.

Post by: Jrand74 on October 13, 2023, 09:57:30 AM
Then I went to LAB and got my blood draw.

There was a large painting on one wall.  It was crooked.....I kept looking at it.....thinking it was my eyes.....but NO....it was crooked.

Just as I was about to fall out of the chair, Beth came to get me for my blood draw.

She liked my Deadpool shirt.

She has two children 12 and 14 - and last spring her husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer.....he is taking chemo right now - but probably won't live out the year.

I spoke to her briefly and left her some good HHW vibes for strength.

Then I went to White Castle and got a ten sack.

I took the Tylenol and ten sack down to my brother when I got home.  He is looking well.  He says the doctor says he is exactly where he should be in the process.

After my haircut, I tried the new chicken parmesan entree being tested out for a limited time at Noodles & Co.

It wasn't the same as the dish from an authentic Italian restaurant, but it wasn't too bad.

Overall, I would say that their portions have gotten smaller since the last time I ate there before the pandemic. I'm sure the prices have not decreased accordingly.

There is a woman from the mid 1850's who translated all the famous German church hymns into English, translations that are still used in many places of worship today.
I believe she is related, so trying to track down how. But it seems like you can't just start willy nilly in a tree, you have to start at present and go back step by step.

On This Day in 1903, Victor Herbert's Babes in Toyland premiered at the Majestic Theater (then located at Columbus Circle).

It sure did! I'm not happy that the edition I worked on for nearly ten years may never see the light of day.

I did, indeed, have my head shorn.   No, it was not coiffed, DR JRand73.

After the shearing, I made a stop at Mickey D's and got a quarter-pound, a small fries, a small Dr. Pepper and two (count 'em 2) fried apple pies.

I stopped at Cook's where I procured three Granny Smiths, one Goldent Delicious and one Winesap, a Japanese pear, a beefsteak tomato and a jar of peaches in syrup.

When I turned into my drive, I noticed the UPS guy had left me a box of Tovala meals at my garage door.

Life is pretty good.  I have just arisen from a much-needed nap, and I feel great.

Perhaps I may continue striving to age graciously.

I would like to know about the White Castle 10 sack.

Is that 10 White Castles?  How much does one cost nowadays.  I remember them beng 19  cents each.

In fact, I could buy 10, a large fries, a large onion chips and a large milk shake and get change back for a $5 bill.

I'm sure prices have gone up since 1984.

DR singdaw:  Ancestry.com isn't too difficult.  Start slowly.  Send them your saliva.  They will put up a map showing from whence your forebears sprang.

They don't force you to do anything.  They do offer hints based on basic info you give them...and they link your results with things others have input, notifying you of potential cousins, etc.

Aging gracefully has its drawbacks.

I am NOT currently in the barber's chair, because I was forced to cancel my appointment.

Forced, you say?  Well...obliged/obligated to do so.

Why?

Well you may ask!!!

I started out at 10 a.m.   I made a deposit at the bank.

I then drove to the recycling center and offloaded a ton of cardboard.

I had ample time left to return to Johnston and check my mail (my haircut was for 11 a.m.).

Enroute, I stopped at the cemetery and removed the urn (and very tired flower arrangement) on my folks' grave.

I picked up mail and returned to my car.

It was that moment that I realized I did not have my wallet.

What?  Unheard of.  I ALWAYS have my wallet.  I checked the car thoroughly, retraced my steps into and out of the post office (no one else had been there while I was there).  I then returned home to see if I had somehow FORGOTTEN (???) to pick it up on my way out the door.

My memory of what I did before leaving was of me checking my wallet and ensuring I had ample cash for my ambitions to get my haircut, have lunch and stop for produce.  I did have ample cash.

I raced around the house looking to see if I had carelessly left my wallet on some surface.

Nothing.  I got back into my car and went back to the cemetery to see if it might have fallen out of my pocket...but it was nowhere in sight.  Then to  the recycling center with similar non-results.

I called and cancelled my haircut. 

Dejected, I returned home pondering just how much work was ahead of me cancelling ATM and credit cards, replacing insurance cards, my driver's license, my military retiree ID card, my SSN card...in short, MY LIFE.

I got home and retraced my steps once again...looking hither, thither and even yon.

I sat down to my laptop a bit dejected.  I decided I had to notify my creditors and turned on my laptop.  A towel I use to clean my screen partially blocked my keyboard.

When I removed the towel, THERE was my wallet!  Holy Smokes!  Heavens to Betsy!  Holy Cow!

Relieved I am. 

Every single item in my wallet will now be photographed, scanned and preserved in various locations for future such occurrences.

My barber graciously rescheduled me for 1 p.m.

Whew!  Glad you found your wallet, Ron!  Been there, done that!!

If I had thought about it earlier, I would've ordered them earlier.  That's on me. ::)

We didn't get any glasses, guess we won't be watching the eclipse.

It's pretty much been raining most of the day today, and it's supposed to rain or be overcast most of the day tomorrow, so they would've been useless anyway.  Good thing I was able to cancel the order.

What I do when I have a lot to write is to write everything in a Word or Notepad document so that i can get the whole thing in one, then I copy (or cut) the individual paragraphs and paste them into HHW messages.  Easy peasy! :D

Well, the funeral industry publisher got back to me and want to talk next week. Unfortunately she revealed the salary and it was not what I’m looking for. Still going through with the call to get some interview practice and with the thought that maybe I’ll blow them away and they’ll raise their pay. Their flexible hours are a selling point. We’ll see what lies beyond the grave…

I was up at seven, got up, answered e-mails, annoying text, I did a rough drawing of how I want the set to lay out on the stage, then I had my eleven o'clock early lunch at Paty's - had the Trousdale sandwich and a dinner salad for food. That was fine. Came home and was sure I'd posted about it. Apparently not.

Began watching some weird Mel Brooks HBO doc I hadn't seen - very peculiar and I nodded off about ten minutes in and woke up as it was ending an hour later. I could not manage to actually get off the couch, turned toward the back of it and fell asleep until nine-thirty. I managed to get up, go in the bedroom, plop on the bed, where I slept until ten-thirty.
