DR ELMORE no amputation - we haven't done our tap dancing version of "Pitiful Penniless Bums" yet.
DR vixmom, it sounds like Maternal Hell continues, and I am so sorry.
My question for ASK BK DAY.....which I am sure has been asked and answered before.....
Is your song ANNIE published anywhere?
Today is the birthday of my British conductor friend Martin Yates. The orchestration that I was working on for the past three months was a gift to thank him for the work over the past couple of years. The nice thing is that it will be delivered today to his home in France.
I have my annual follow up with my radiologist this morning.

Thanks DR JANE all is well.....good to go for another year!
Always happy to hear that news from one of the doctors who saved my life.
And vibes for the rest of us. Just because.
So, I went to the dentist today for a teeth cleaning, and he didn't clean my teeth.
Why?
Because I wouldn't sign a long legal form that told of all the ways I could get the virus in his office. Very scary.
So, I put off my cleaning until January.
I brush and floss several times daily; also use a strong mouth wash.
By January, I figure that this thing will be over, or we'll all be dead.
At the Dollar Tree almost every customer was wearing a mask - and of course all of the employees were.
In WalMart - I would guess about 20% of the folks were wearing masks....moms there with the kids - no masks.....older folks....no masks.....
Thanks DR JANE I was pleased.

Well, we do have some reports of a second pandemic from swine flu coming our way. So, we could be doubling our fun.
I've had them at McDonald's, too, but they're only available out east, like around Mystic.
And as much as I love (Hellman's/Best) mayo on other things, I can't imagine why you wouldn't always want the butter on lobster. I guess I should try it some time.
DR George. We had been using the Johns Hopkins covid site. This one seems a bit simpler. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

It’s a when in Rome ... attitude. If I am in Maine, I’ll take it with mayo, because that’s all they offer.
DR George, vibes for your friend Pug!

The neighbor above me is moving out. God knows what the new one will be like. I took the recyclables and cartons to the basement and got stranded because they turned off the elevator on 4 and I thought it was broken. I was terrified I was stranded and yelled my head off before it began running again.
Vibes for TCB and TCB's sister!

Mild covid symptoms vibes for Pug.

I've been feeling lucky, in that people here are consistently masking up in stores and offices. A lot of places have a sign saying you must have a mask on to enter, but I think it's the rule anyway.
As for the doctor or dentist.... that's bizarre. When I went in for my procedure last Friday, I'd already been advised to wear the mask, and that they would check my temperature at the door. And that was it. There was no other hassle.
The only papers I signed were their standard ones relating to the procedure.
"Annie" was the first song I turned to when I got my book and sat down to play through some of it. What I should do is sit down and properly learn the whole thing. I know a couple of gals who would sing the hell out of "Annie" and probably a few others.
Edit: Also, how fascinating would it be to introduce them to that song in particular, because these are good singing actresses with plenty of familiarity with Annie, but there's no way they would ever have heard of any of this.

That's great, Larry!
I slept well, but my left leg should be amputated. Yesterday morning, after hobbling from pharmacy to bank and home, suicide seemed such a good solution to all my aches and pains. After going through this past surgery, I am not eager to jump back in for a hip and.or knee replacement. What I need to do today is contact my principal caregiver at my HMO and ask about gel injections for arthritis. If I can gain a couple of months relief, I think my mental state will improve along with my irritable mood.

Our big plan for today is to visit the public library for curbside pick-up.
My television show is popular with the populace.....the station received two emails of support.....
I guess it's as good as a Nielsen rating.

George, is she showing symptoms?
First off, I am a very very lucky woman. The outpouring of concern and love has made me cry (happy tears) more than once in the last few hours. I love my community and I love you my friends and thank you.
I have decided I'm going to post about how I am doing. Because it's an easy way of getting this information out for the people who are concerned. And because there are many faces to this Covid thing.
First off I went to the doctor because I was feeling achy and stuffy headed had a scratchy throat and some tummy cramps. I have never had a fever. Not at all. So the important take away from this is do not expect fever to be the litmus test for this thing.
When I went into Sea Mar yesterday they gave me two tests. The first has 15-minute turn around but it has a high failure rate. It can often give you a false negative, not so with the positive.
The second test is more reliable but takes two to three days to get back. I came out positive with a 15-minute test. Ethan took the same two tests, but his 15-minute test came back negative. We will find out in a few days. Marko has also been tested with the slower test.
Today, I have no fever. I do not have any severe symptoms. What I do have are muscle cramps, I feel like I can't get warm and my soft palate is swollen and itchy, anything I eat gives me slight abdominal cramping. I woke up sneezing and coughing.
I am isolating in the bedroom, have started doing breathing exercises to try to keep my lungs open and clear. I'm buckling down on my diet. Going even more heavily into keto than I have been for the last few months.It's been a bit wobbly wobbly since we've been in lockdown. It is an anti-inflammatory diet and inflammation is the killer in this disease. So I am being proactive.
That's what I've got for now. Hug the people you can. Wash your hands. Know that I love you. And wear your fucking masks.
Our big plan for today is to visit the public library for curbside pick-up.
"Curbside pick-up" seems to have a number of meanings. I always thought it meant driving through the parking lot to a specifiied spot where you are given a package. I called Best Buy the other day and was told that there it means you park your car, then go inside the store to a specific counter. That could mean being around a lot of people. And how is that different from pre-Covid store pick-up?

I take Llfe Extension's Fast Acting Joint Formula for pain in general and arthritis in particular. It really is fast-acting. In fact, Life Extension offers a number of products for arthritis. They also have free health advisors available by phone.

I do not understand not wearing a mask. Here the compliance numbers are higher. There are always a few hold-outs, but I'd say 80-90% wear masks.

Did you ask that question? It sounds exactly the same. I imagined you parked in the designated parking usually set aside and they take it out to you.

My dentist kept us informed by email about his office closure and reopening and the measures they were taking. Dental offices are tricky because bacteria can be released into the air just by cleaning your teeth. Likewise Covid. But, as my hygienist said, having a mouthful of bacteria won't help you fight Covid.

DR George thanks for sharing Pug's story.
I brush my teeth and floss.
Years ago, I had a dental hygienist that said that flossing should be done first, and I've been doing it that way ever since. I don't know if it really makes a difference, but to me it seems that if you floss first, you can then brush away all the gunk that's removed by the flossing.

To me curbside pickup means they bring it out to your car. I've never heard of what you mentioned.
We're going to send some Lorna Doone shortbread cookies, Bit-O-Honey candies, a box of individual bags of popcorn, a Costco sized bag of Hershey's Nuggets assortments, Big Hunk candy bars and Abba Zaba candy bars. Our aunts specified what they like, so that's what we got. :)
Be back later.
Just finished with The Nose. It was cool to see Paulo Szot in something fully operatic. I'd only seen him in South Pacific before. The production is strange and wonderful and unlike anything I've ever seen in an opera. Not one of the greats. There's not enough emotionally to take with me, but the satire is pointed and on target. And I liked the music a lot.
George!
Thank you for posting the info about The Hamilton Workshop!

I find this mix a bit surprising, especially the Lorna Doone shortbread.
