And the word of the day is: BOLIDE!
I really enjoyed NEXT TO NORMAL, Ben---thanks for the recommendation.
The only odd thing was, they used a different actress for the daughter after the second half. I thought the original one was terrific---wonderful voice. If there was something wrong, you sure couldn't tell. Maybe she had another obligation. It just seemed odd to change horses in midstream and I wondered if that's kind of a normal thing for Broadway, when you have to commit so much of your life to doing shows 6 days a week.

What DR MattH said. ;)
A much nicer day here today than yesterday. The winds have quieted down -- they were extreme yesterday. They had to completely shut down a several black radius in lower Manhattan because the wind was ripping debris off buildings and construction zones, and it became too dangerous for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
Vibes for Ginny. Hope you are able to get back on your feet very quickly.
Perhaps I shall have a cheeseburger to celebrate.
Today I went for my checkup and passed my cholesterol test.
DR Ginny - Do you have to sleep in any special position and/or with extra pillows to control your motion while you sleep?
ginny i'm glad you have found a more comfortable position today.
CONTINUED VIBES!!!

Ginny, I'm glad you are more comfortable today. Enjoy the pampering. It won't last long.
Is this the same leg you had it in last time?
Ginny, I'm glad you are more comfortable today. Enjoy the pampering. It won't last long.
Thanks, DR Laura. Even though it gets tiring sometimes, I much prefer being the pamperer than the pampered. Good thing I had nothing on my calendar this week!QuoteIs this the same leg you had it in last time?
Yes, the left. Last time though, the clot was in my thigh, this time it's in my calf and that seemed to be the determining factor for being treated at home vs. being admitted to the hospital. Apparently, clots above the knee are considered more of a risk for breaking off and traveling to other parts of your body - lungs, heart, brain.
When I signed up, I was in the middle of packing for my move to Austin, so I didn't see that.
All I'm saying is that, if you don't want an automatic renewal, you'd better check your "Manual" option, because there are no refunds.

it is comforting to know this clot isn't as potentially dangerous. it is more difficult to sit still & be pampered when you basically feel fine & up to doing things. vibes of patience!
ginny, i expected you to have to stay on a low dose of the blood thinners from now on. :(

Unless you want to get stuck with an annual Gold Membership that you don't want, be sure that your renewal status is marked "Manual," NOT "Automatic". I caught/disputed the charge 2 days after it was made, and Classmates would not cancel it.
>:(
I forgot that IT'S A MAD(x5) WORLD arrived at my house yesterday and that I brought it to work today to upload to my iPod, which I'm in the process of doing now. Love all the Jack Davis art work. And I like the cast photo on the next to last page of the booklet where everyone is smiling and looking at the camera (well, not *everyone*, Mr. Shawn...)

DR Jane, I finally watched the first two episodes of HUMAN TARGET.
I didn't love it. But I did find both episodes enjoyable. I think Mark Valley is fine. Although i'm not sure how much i like him yet. I do love Chi McBride.
I wish that there were more than 3 regulars. And none of them are women. This seems really weird to me (and not in a good way).
The first two episodes worked partly because the scenarios were interesting. But also i found the 2 women guest stars very good (really loved DEXTER girl).
Oh and i'm gonna record last year's finale of LOST. Even though they are showing a recap show next week before the premiere. I'd like to either watch the finale or at least the end to remind myself. It's been so long, i don't remember a lot of it.

I watched last night's CASTLE while I ate lunch. The two leads are SO great together, and the show is tremendously entertaining just due to their chemistry.
So, is DD's ringtone "100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall"?
If I had that one on the phone I'd use it, Ginny.
He is "ding dong," since he's so stupid he can't understand I'm NOT Mary.

Great review, Jeff...except for one thing: it's "a Lot," not "Alot."
I'm just sayin'. ;)

...(but I still think that it should be "a Lot" not "A Lot"...in my humble opinion (IMHO, in Internet lingo).

So, what's for dinner?
However, if you want to be retained as my proofreader, you need to do a better job--I just found two more errors. ;D ;) :P
Well, yes, I'm assuming "Breakfast For Dinner" is eggs, pancakes, toast, etc. I would be very disappointed if it turned out to be oatmeal.
I have a new "favorite thing" - my sister sent me a Starbucks gift card for my birthday and I bought this insulated tumbler. I've designated it for water and have been using it continually since we returned from the hospital yesterday.
Great vibes, DR Ginny. Sorry to hear you won't be dancing. It's become a great past-time of mine and I know I'd sorely miss it. But I hope you'll be up and at 'em soon.
Favorite child actors:
Virginia Weidler in "The Philadelphia Story"
Anna Paquin
Jodie Foster
Peter Billingsley in "A Christmas Story"
So, what's for dinner?
It's still oatmeal.
Having bad internet trouble. Just wanted to drop in and say hi while it's working.
Congrats to DR George and DR Ginny on their dual plateaus!
Congrats to George 's and Ginny 's plateau.
So, what's for dinner?
It's still oatmeal.
;D
There was an article in the NYTimes last year about savory preparations of oatmeal. Shall I look it up for you? ;)
So, what's for dinner?
Salmon and spinach with mushrooms
thanks laura & ginny. my stomach has been bothering me since i began reducing the pain meds. on them it was great & i could eat anything i wanted which was a real treat for me.
Dear Jane, it would probably help if I kept my mount shut and not made trouble.
It's still oatmeal.
;D

Yes, please.
How are you feeling today, Druxy?

Can't you just contact your credit card company and tell them that you do not want it, and did not sign up for it. And that they are trying to charge you ror another year.
...In any event, if you're with Classmates, make sure you do a "manual" renewal, so that you don't have this problem.

I spent 45 minutes on the phone w/Classmates & my credit card company today.
Classmates is giving me a 50% discount and my card company is going to eat the balance.
With the move to Austin last year, I put $30-$40 thousand dollars on that card (and paid it off in full), so I guess they appreciate it.
In any event, if you're with Classmates, make sure you do a "manual" renewal, so that you don't have this problem.

I think the young actress who plays his daughter (Molly Quinn) is one of the most talented teen actresses currently working. She's magical.
I can see no potential upside to their having a female agent working alongside Mark Valley's "human target."
Thanks for the vibes, Jane. I feel spoiled kvetching about internet and TV with so many people having real trouble, like pain.
DR edisaurus - Did they make an announcement as the intermission ended? or did the new actress just "appear"?
I really enjoyed NEXT TO NORMAL, Ben---thanks for the recommendation.

Psst... 8 shows.
Although, a 6-show week seems to be easier for some actors and actresses to negotiate now than before.
In our most recent blizzard on Monday, an acquaintance was in a major pile up on Interstate 29. I knew yesterday she wasn't in good shape, but didn't know until today that she died. Candace was a really cool woman. She was married to a chef and they ran a couple different organc/local food restaurants. She went back to school later in life and was either now a social worker or about to become one. She had 3 daughters, I think the youngest may be high school age. Once again we weren't close, but she was a good friend of a good friend so I saw her quite often at different social gatherings. What a sad day for her family.

Yes, I know, but 6 days a week, too!
