Thank you for reminding me I did not transfer the clothes from the washer to the dryer after we returned home.
It is a nice sunny day, 53 degrees!  We took Sherlock into town for a walk & visit to his favorite shops.

A good-old fashion "naturalist" like yourself should eschew the carbon-footprint monster dryer and hang your clothes in the freah air like God intended.

I wonder if Jane ever used a washboard? A wash-tub with a hand-wringer? A wooden clothes-prop?

While I have done plenty of washing by hand I have never had any of the above props to do so.  I have had to hang all my laundry, including sheets & towels, on an outside clothesline.  I find the clothes hard & uncomfortable.  I like modern day softeners for my delicate skin.

On the thirteenth day of Christmas we burned the tinseled tree
We un-decked the halls, and packed the balls
And set the partridge free.

I believe the headline is "comment" enough:

Porn industry seeks federal bailout

[JoseSPiano]

I wonder if anyone clicked on my link to the MOKSHA in tight jeans.


I am thinking not.

I clicked on it.  Alas, "tight jeans" alone do not a reply warrant.

There is nothing like donning frozen Jockey shorts to wake you up in the morning!

I thought this was one business that was thriving still.

That is so sad JMK, about the Rabbi. I can recall him being discussed around these here parts on a few occasions.

I had not met him as he left Ashland for Portland prior to our arrival.  It was one of those interesting connections.  Dan asking if I knew his cousin & later  Betsy mentioning the temple she & Jeff belong to.  That was the day I met DRs MBarnum, George & JMK.  It was such a good day.

It was a nuisance move on the part of Larry Flynt.  He makes some good points, but it's highly ludicrous all the same.

[Dan (the Man)]

I took off from work today and all I did was lay around and sleep.

Do you feel better now?

I feel better now that I've had dinner (a bowlful of Chunky Chicken Noodle Soup.)  Otherwise, I'm just feeling draggy, dopey, and blahh. 

[Dan (the Man)]

Hopefully, I will manage to stay awake for Kevin Kline as Cyrano tonight.

CONGRATULATIONS DR Cilla on getting into your skinniest suits!  Does this mean you are now as thin as you were when we met?

DR George, have a great show!

Hmmm, when we met, let me think....I may have been about 15 pounds lighter than I am now.    I still have 40 to go, but I'm swimming in most of my clothes.  I've been waiting to take them to be taken in, but I think I need to take a few things now.   I don't feel like I've lost that much. Today I put on a jacket that was too tight last summer and it is way too big for me now.   

[Cillaliz]

OH!   I failed to congratualte Cilla on her great achievement!  You go girl!!!!!!!

Thanks!  It's been fun.  Tomorrow will be the first weigh in since Dec 18th (because of Christmas and New Years being on Thursday, my meeting day).  SO, it will be interesting.

Maybe he's keeping BettyS busy.

DR VIXMOM - You are truly an inspiration and it is so great to see you going through the treatments with class and humor. 

VIBES AND HUGS!!!

Do you also weigh in at home?  I prefer using the same scale, close to the same time, with the same clothes on.

Good luck tomorrow.  I'm sure you lost something since your clothes are so large

Again, CONGRATULATIONS!

Michigan's loss is Oregon's gain:

ASSOCIATED PRESS

CONVICTED 'ZOMBIE BANDIT' SOUGHT IN OREGON ROBBERY

MEDFORD, Ore. —  A convicted bank robber the FBI nicknamed the "Zombie Bandit" during a string of bank holdups in the Midwest in 1991 is the suspect in a robbery last week in Medford.

Surveillance videos convinced investigators the man who robbed the Liberty Bank on Dec. 30 is 67-year-old Alan David Hurwitz, who served prison time for holdups at 18 banks across Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.

"He is not the most likely bank robber, but we have seen people fall off the pedestal in the past and resort to crime," Medford police Lt. Tim Doney said.
The FBI nicknamed him the "Zombie Bandit" because of the vacant look on his face during the Midwest robberies.
…
"He's done a lot of good in his life, but he has been a slave to crack cocaine," Medford police Deputy Chief Tim George said.

At one time Hurwitz was a Detroit teacher, a staff member at Michigan State University, a member of a task force on school violence and a deputy director of the Peace Corps in Kenya, according to a 2005 profile in Detroit's Metro Times newspaper.

It seems this guy had much to offer before letting drugs destroy him-so sad.

[Laura]

It's a shame what drugs can do to people.

[Laura]

So, Jane, did your drugs help you?

Handyman Doug has left for the day - I'd say we got halfway done, and he thinks tomorrow will actually go a lot faster.  But all the Kritzerland stuff is in its place now, and it's so great to have it so easy to get to.

[Danise]

Hi folks.  I'm sorry I left so suddenly last night.  I was just so tired.  I am still tired.  There is to much drama going on right now.

So to up date  you:

They couldn't really work on the house today because it rained.  They did do some of the wiring for the light.  Thelma said I should ask them for a motion sensor light.  I will speak with them tomorrow.

Thelma's husband, Bill, isn't doing to good.  Vibes for him would be appreciated.  He is very weak.

The dog story continues.  As I predicted, the dog got away from them again.  The kid and Dad this time showed up at my door thinking I had him.  The kid is crying up a storm.  As we spoke, he comes the dog right to me.  The kid says I can have the dog.  I said I don't want your dog, I want YOU to take care of your dog. 

I told the father, the dog needs to fixed so he wouldn't roam.  He needs food.  He needs a vet.  He needs shots.  He needs heartworm meds.  The dad states they do feed the dog, he's thin because he runs away all the time.  I said I don't believe that is the case.  He offers me the dog.  I decline.

Again as I thought, when I tell the kid to go get his leash so he can take the dog home, he tell finely tells me they don't have one.  I give them Bears old leash and halter.  Maybe that will help them control the dog.

I have a doctors appointment tomorrow which I suspect will confirm that I have diabetes.  I don't need this extra stress and I do not want to come home every night to a dog and a crying kid that isn't mine. 

I keep wondering how I got caught up in all this.

Also today I get a letter from my house insurance tellng me they are canceling my policy  because the roof is in poor repair.  I called and left a blistering message and told them they had better get their ass (pardon the language) over here and look at the work that is being done. 

Sorry but it just hasn't been a good day.  I feel tired and out of sorts.

I seem to recall that our friend Maureen will be on Law and Order tonight (I think it's not a lot of screen time, from what i remember her saying) but she'll be on both in the segment before the credits, then again later in the hour.

it's the regular law and Order, not SVU.

[Laura]

Aww, Danise.

...And Kate Baldwin was on last night's L&O installment.

[Danise]

I haven't been able to catch up on all of the post but I am thrilled by the bit I read about how well Vixmom is doing.  I am so happy for you.

Vibes to DR Jane.  I hope you feel better soon.

Oh I almost forgot.  I got the report from my last KUB.  It looks like I have ANOTHER kidney stone.  And "There are some degenerative changes of the right hip and lumbar spine"  along with some other concerns about my liver.  Joy.  Sigh.

[Jeanne]

Hello, everyone!
Just coming up for air.

Bruce, I hope Handyman Doug works out as well for you as Matt has for me. I'm sure you'll feel better with order in the garage.

Continued vibes to VIXMOM and all who need them.

[Danise]

Did I tell you that "Dad" tells me that he just got a pit bull puppy?  I told him he can't take care of the one dog, why did he get another?

[Danise]

Aww, Danise.


(((((Danise)))))

Thank you, DR Laura.  I think I am just going to go to bed.


Night all. 

[Jane]

So, Jane, did your drugs help you?

   I'm not sure.  I have one more to take tonight.  I am much better.  Maybe I'll be cured by tomorrow.

VIBES TO THELMA'S BILL!

VIBES TO DR DANISE!!
