I've got a wide assortment of candy for the kiddies - little bite-sized Big Hunk and Abba Zabba, little boxes of Junior Mints and Dots, a large assortment of Reese's stuff, Baby Ruth, Butterfinger, taffy, and all sorts of other little things.

I rode five buses today.

Were you seated inside or outside the bus?

Jane, how is Sherlock?

Now that I am caught up....

Thank you DRs Td, Cilla, George, Jose, TCB, Laura, & Kerry.

Sherlock received a steroid injection, prednisone pills & EXTREMELY expensive antibiotics. He definitely needed to be seen tonight. Hopefully the shot will speed things up & we will see improvement by tomorrow. I can't take him hiking until the large blisters heal.

We will likely never know what caused the contact dermatitis. If we had see the beginnings of it last night we could have prevented him from scratching & making it so bad.

We never expected it to continue swelling so much. If it hadn't been a Friday I wouldn't have called the vet on her cell phone to see if she would be in tomorrow. It's a good thing I did. It is really nice she has told us to call on her cell phone after hours if we need her.

DR Jane - Could it have been poison ivy or poison oak? or something similar?

Jane · « **Reply #214 on:** October 31, 2008, 07:13:32 PM »

When we lived on the East Coast I had friends ship me Mother's Oatmeal cookies, and I always took a box home with me when we visited L.A.

DR Ron Pulliam - How did you vote on Proposition K? Or at least your thoughts on the matter(s).

Jane · « **Reply #216 on:** October 31, 2008, 07:17:52 PM »

DR Jose, I meant to ask about the poison oak, and only mentioned the trails we were on. If that is the cause we are going to be in big trouble since there is plenty of it on the trails around here. I have never known a dog to have a problem with it. Usually the dogs give it to the people, not suffer themselves. My guess, it is something else.

We have always had Archway's Cookies and Mother's Cookies in Washington.

Cilla, regarding the book on the Titanic, TITANIC'S LAST SECRETS, the basis for the book by Brad Matsen is the 2006 History Channel documentary, which I believe was called TITANIC LAST MOMENTS. I believe the discoveries made by John Chatterton and Richie Kohler are extremely damaging to the owners of both the White Star Line, who owned the ship, and Harland and Woolf, who built it. I am anxious to read the book.

Coincidentally, Brad Matsen lives just a few miles away from me on Vashon Island, just across Puget Sound.

I saw the documentary before I even knew there was a book. I think the book is the most damaging to Harland and Woolf. They have a source who was the archivist for Harland and Woolf and saw the documents etc that were kept secret. I won't tell you any more, but I think you'll find it fascinating and if you have seen the docmentary, it really helps to visualize the dives that are described in detail.

Did you read Chatterton and Kohler's other book SHADOW DIVERS? It was really great. I'm not really into scuba diving, but love history and when I read that I was fascinated. I'm so glad they were the ones who found the bilge keel on the Titanic.

Ok, fascinating and fascinated in the same post. Not a good thing

DR Jane - You had mentioned that Mother's Cookies had suddenly shut down earlier this month, but I didn't realize that Archway folded in the process too.

Cookie Fans Miss Their Mother's

Archway cookies are gone??? I have always loved Archway cookies

One of my former professor's dogs - Michael (sweet, sweet, Michael) - was highly "reactive" to poison oak and ivy. Strangely - and thankfully - I never had a reaction to it. Alas, I only found that out after I had taken Michael for a walk one time, and he started breaking out once we returned home. "Oh, yeah. We forgot to tell you to watch out for all the poison ivy along the trail." $:-\$

However, his break outs only lasted for a few hours, and he never seemed too bothered by it. I think it was just because he was receiving more attention... and treats.

Finally!

DR TCB, I love Brad Matsen's writing style. He has a way of making what could be dry historical reading very interesting and readable. Both books I read were also VERY well researched. I would definitely read anything he writes

Laura · « **Reply #224 on:** October 31, 2008, 07:39:45 PM »

That is "The Little Mermaid" and "Stephanie" (whoever that is).

Jane · « **Reply #225 on:** October 31, 2008, 07:39:55 PM »

I pray Sherlock has not suddenly developed a reaction to Poison Oak. The poor boy doesn't look very good. I think I'll be walking close to home tomorrow.

'night

And still they come. I've gone through at least two-hundred and fifty pieces of candy, maybe more.

DR Laura - "Stephanie" is from "Lazy Town". She likes the color Pink. Lots and lots of Pink.

The most frightening costume of the evening was a pudgy little boy dressed as the Pillsbury Dough Boy. Scaaaaarrrry.

Thanks, Uncle Jo Jo.

You're welcome, DR Laura.

*Thankfully, Alexandra, Alyssa and Emily like "Stephanie", but they don't want to have her merchandise. However, now that Alyssa has gotten turned on to "American Girl Place", well...

And still they come - I'm exhausted from all the getting up and down. It's like running an additional half-mile.

I had two tuna sandwiches for dinner, and a few of the candies.

Since I finished my work DVD this afternoon and got the review up before 6, I had all evening to watch what I pleased.

I started with the last of the Fox Charlie Chan movies - CASTLE IN THE DESERT. I had never seen this before, and I was so pleased to once again guess the identity of the murderer before it was revealed. So, I was able to outguess the last three in the Fox series.

The transfer looked very nice indeed.

OK - I need to take an e-break for a while. -Until I'm back home in NYC, in my apartment. -Which should be right around midnight, hopefully. Until then...

Laters...
