Arrived safely in Austin.

BK would have loved our flight.

The guy sitting next to us was autistic.  That didn't bother us.  He was nice, polite...but an hour into the flight he had an "accident," and we had to put up with the stench for two hours.

 

Nothing a little Whisk (as in detergent) can't fix

So you think Druxy should have asked the flight attendant for some Wisk and escorted the guy to the rest room for a clean-up?

DR Druxy, I'm pleased to know you arrived safely.

How old was the guy & was he traveling alone?

[bk]

I'm watching A Matter Of Life And Death - mostly it's a very nice transfer of a very great movie.

[Danise]

Sorry folks,  I have a LOT going on right now so I'm not up to posting or reading posts like I should.  Let me just put what I sent to DR Jane.

I have an update for you.  First Mr. B came back while I was at work.  The guys I have working on the house tried to keep him in the back yard but he got out twice.  I  found where he jumped over my wire fence and smashed it down.  The people next store have a privacy fence but where he jumped was next to a tree where they didn't have 100% coverage.  Sheena is to big to fit there so she's ok but I will have that part of my fence fixed. 

Then when I came home, he was standing on the street.  I called him and got him to come to me. I put my leash around his neck so I had him.  He wasn't wearing Bears collar or any collar at all.

 As I was talking with the construction guys, a kid came up and said it was his dog. I said if he was then to go get a leash. 

He went and got his mother, who came with a young girl--no leash--I don't know if they even have one. He had Bears collar. 

Both the kids love the dog but I was told that the father won't do anything for the him and he gets away from them all the time.  I told them if they had him fixed that might help but I think my words fell on deaf ears.  I don't think they have the money to do anything with the dog.

I also told them that he is too skinny, that he needs to fed and looked at by a vet for worms, have his shots, tag and have heart worm preventive.   The mother just gave me a "MYOB" look but she never said I was wrong or that they had or would take the dog to a vet.   

I gave them Bears old collar so he would have a decent one that wouldn't have sand spurs on it. 

Not knowing he belonged to anyone,  I called AS this morning when I got to work and told them the story (as of last night before all this other happened)  because I was concerned about him getting killed up on MLK.  I told them I wanted to adopt the dog if they could catch him.  They said they would put out an APB on him and would call me if they found him.

 I'll call AS back tomorrow and tell them that I found the dog and the owners.  I'm  just sure if he gets away from them again (and I think he will) if AS pick him up, the family won't try to get him back  or he very well might wind up as road kill on MLK..

I also don't know what will happen because I already told AS how skinny he is and that he had no tag or was fixed when I spoke with them this morning.  I wonder if they will take the dog away from the family.  I didn't intend for that to happen if it does.

I don't want to take a dog away from the kids but I am very worried that the dog isn't getting the care he needs with those people. The construction workers said the same thing and that  they felt sorry for the dog because it was obvious he  would be better off with me.

 As it stands, I wouldn't adopt him at this point because the kids must live somewhere close by and I wouldn't want them to see the dog everyday.  I don't want them in my yard trying to pet their--well he would be my-- dog though the fence and maybe get hurt.  I also don't want the dog to see them and long to be with them.

I guess that's the end of the story of Mr. B.  I've done all that I can do.  I just feel sorry for the dog.

I am going to wait awhile before I try for another dog.  Sheena has her friends at the dog park for the time being so it's not like she doesn't ever get to see or play with other dogs.

[Jane]

DR Danise, it is funny that our posts & emails keep crossing each other at the same time.

[Jane]

DR Danise I doubt the AS will bother with Mr. B unless there is a report of real abuse.

No, but he was being Whisked away on the plane, so...

Do any of your Walgreens stores have one of those walk-in clinics?

I think that's where I picked up my sickness (at a CVS clinic.)

[Danise]

As for the house.  Amazing that is the 2nd news story of the day.  Things seem to be coming right along.  I think it's going to be ok.  The guy is even going to put a new gate up for me--at no charge--and he wants to see where Mr. B pushed my fence down.  He wants to repair the fence (again at no charge) because he is worried that Sheena might get out. 

He said they have a lot of odds and ends that get left over from other jobs at his place so the materials to make a new gate or fix the fence don't cost him anything.  When he sees someone is trying to do good and they need a little help themselves, he doesn't mind using them. 

He seems like a very nice man.

He seems like a really nice man.  I think the roof is going to be fine. 

[Druxy]

DR Druxy, I'm pleased to know you arrived safely.

How old was the guy & was he traveling alone?

He was in his late teens, traveling with his family, both parents and 4 siblings.  None of them wanted to sit next to him.

I did talk to the FA, who spoke to the mother, who sent him into the bathroom, but it didn't do any good.

Is he single?

[Danise]

Well, I'm tired.  It's bit stressful right now and I need my rest. 

Talk with you all later or when things calm down.

BTW, I am taking before and after photos when I get home every night.  When I get time I will resize them and post.

Night all.

[Jane]

DR Danise, I'm glad the contractor is a nice guy.  CONTINUED VIBES IT ALL WORKS OUT TO YOUR SATISFACTION, & POCKETBOOK!!!

It is stressful, sleep well.

DS Betsy got amnio with both our boys and it turned out to be quite a bit less scary than we thought (of course, that's easy for me to say, eh?).  She even said it didn't hurt all that much, it was more of a pressure feeling than any pain.  Of course we were trepidatious--that's only natural, but it was quick and relatively easy.

The problem with getting an amnio (they say) is that getting one can cause you to miscarry.  I think that is the scary part, not doing it.

the chances of that are very very very very small like 1% and they only warn you about that because they are scared of lawsuits

1% sounds small. But when they tell you 1/100 it sounds much greater.

[Jennifer]

The macaroni and cheese was successful. Well at least my niece gobbled it up.

I liked the baked cheese on top (that was my favorite part). But next time i would like to add something to give it a bit more flavor. Not sure what i'd add.

[Jane]

Which recipe did you use?

[Jennifer]

Which recipe did you use?

Well a lot of the recipes were similar.

It was quite similar to the one you emailed me minus the sour cream.

It was basically mix butter/flour in pot. Add hot milk. Add cheese. Mix with cooked macaroni. And then put extra cheese on top and bake.

I wonder if the flavor changes greatly depending on the kind of cheese. I used a mix. Half orange cheddar. And half white cheddar (i think).

[Jennifer]

I used one lb/500 grams of uncooked macaroni. It only made one big casserole dish.

[Jane]

Did you add salt & pepper or any other seasoning?

[Jennifer]

Did you add salt & pepper or any other seasoning?

I am actually not sure if i added salt. I would have to check the recipe. Not sure. I know i used paprika cause i wanted to also change the color to make it darker.

[Jane]

Interesting, I have never thought to use paprika. 

[Jane]

I'm eating Mallomars to help make me thirsty so I'll drink more water

[Jane]

Before signing off for the night I hoped to hear if DR Ron made it to the doctor's office.  Darn.

'night

[Matt H.]

DR MATTH's post this morning reminded me that NIP/TUCK is on tonight!!

You're welcome, and it's the reason I do this in the first place. I'm always so thrilled when the little reminders help people.

[Matt H.]

When I went back down, I watched HOLLYWOOD CAVALCADE with Alice Faye. Much to my surprise, it was NOT a musical. It's basically MACK & MABEL with the names changed and Don Ameche taking on qualities not only of Mack Sennett but also of D.W. Griffith, and other silent directors. She doesn't die like Mabel Normand, of course, and kind of segues into a Norma Shearer type. Sort of interesting, especially since the movie introduced me to an actor I was unaware of - Alan Curtis who was a dreamboat playing Alice's husband.

[JoseSPiano]

Good Evening!

Well... The production of Songs for a New World that I ended up going to tonight was pretty good. A good cast and a good band (the pianist was great!).  It was held in one of the "upper rooms" at Riverside Church.  They had a small stage set up, as well as a lighting and sound system.  It was surprisingly "well-equipped" for an Equity showcase.  And it was a freebie too!

*Best of all, I went with my roommate, Megan, who just got back from her one-year stint working in China.  It's her first day and night back in NYC.

[Matt H.]

And, of course, I HAD to watch the "making of" documentary with the hopes that the always-delightful Dr. Drew Casper might make an appearance. He did indeed as did the other talking heads that bk found so unattractive on the ROSE OF WASHINGTON SQUARE featurette.

There was also a featurette on Fatty Arbuckle, I guess for those who didn't catch the reference to him in the film or know who Fatty Arbuckle was.

[Matt H.]

I switched back to TV and finished the Irving Thalberg documentary I had started. There were only about eight minutes left on it.
