My cat-sitting assignment begins either tonight or tomorrow morning.

My work here is done.

Does that mean that we are now obligated to raise the quality of our posts??

Oh, no, I was just referring to my posts of Numbers. Your posts are beyond stellar

I never got to actually perform the song, but the other people in the workshop really liked the song and the way I performed it.

What color boa?

The most memorable meal I've ever had was back in the 1980s in Lafayette, LA.

I was there with my friend/publicity client, Steve Kanaly ("Dallas") for a rodeo in which he was the guest star.

One afternoon, our "handler" took us out to this restaurant on a bayou where we had the most fantastic Cajun meal: crawfish, catfish, jambalaya & the best cheesecake I've ever eaten.

In fact, I was so impressed with the Southern-style cheesecake that, when I returned to Los Angeles, I told the owner of Junior's Deli (another client) about it, and he wound up changing his NY-style cheesecake to Southern-style.

Don't blame Camden--Philly must have stopped growing the peppers.

I have been advised that those of us who enjoy scarfing raw oysters from the shell, swishing steamed snails in a butter-garlic sauce, or relishing fried scrapple should refrain from turning up our noses at others food choices.

Good morning.

There used to be a German restaurant on Oxnard St., here in the valley. I ordered rabbit, and was served half a rabbit (no head of course) that was weird for me. And in Little Tokyo downtown, I ordered fish head soup, well it was broth and fish heads, that was weird too. Both were really good though.

Off to work.

Pleasant Thursday to everyone.

Thursday morning greetings. It's still drizzly here in SW Ohio - cool and humid.

Thank you to DRs Jose, Ben, and Dan(the Man) for recovery vibes for my brother-in-law. And, DR Jose, for your comments about the warning your family received before your mother's surgery. John's family was told he'd be sitting up the next day and walking the next. I think they were misinformed and their expectations were raised unrealistically.

Ginny · « **Reply #52 on:** July 23, 2009, 06:53:15 AM »

I'm off to have my hair cut and to do some errands. While I'm offline, DS Rob is going to install our new modem.

Bye for now!

If we are really serious about containing the growth of health care costs we can use the "best practices" available when I graduated from college:

No open-heart surgery (still experimental)

No organ replacement

No joint replacement

No use of CAT scan, MRIs. Etc.

No routine use of non generic pharmaceuticals

No use of combination chemotherapy, radiation treatment or taxanes and other highfalutin drugs

DR MattH re: your comments yesterday on Y&R

Do you actually think that adam is bisexual? I really have no idea if he was just screwing around with rafe. Or if he ended up realizing he might like it. And i have no idea if the writers will even pursue this. Or perhaps they will have rafe move on to P3??? I really find P3 way too old for rafe (to me rafe seems like an early twenties kid). But i find it hard to believe they would introduce 2 gay characters and not have them interact.

Why? Do all of the non-gay characters "interact"?

Good morning, all! Things are improving slowly, but I am feeling better and getting quite antsy from my confinement. This morning, I'm seeing my doctor at 11:30. As of noon yesterday, she still had not received my x-rays from radiology. This leads to a diatribe on the Manhattan HMO known as HIP and their idiocy of allowing a week's time to elapse between x-rays and getting the results to the attending physician. God forbid I were in a matter of life and death, but such inefficiency from a "major" health insurance company is ridiculous.

So, I'm a bit more mobile, although the pains are always present, and I've been able to navigate about the apartment sometimes without the use of crutches. I'm still depending on muscle relaxer and vicodin; if the ibuprofen is doing anything, I don't know. Yesterday, I needed to make an emergency trip to the drug store at 81st and Broadway. I got back and forth on crutches although I moved quite slowly and spent a good hour in bed after getting back here.

I'm debating the rest of my life as I lie here and moan; since this clearly strikes without too much warning, I'm considering turning down all out-of-town jobs because I hate the thought of committing to something I may not be able to finish. Also, I'm not sure I want to be too far from my own apartment in this state of health.

My last comment before I begin my pre-doctor ablutions is to praise the friends I have, may of whom have volunteered to run errands, etc. I could not have gotten through the past nine days without our DR Jose, who schlepped, ran errands, banked, shopped and proofread for me, and Ron and Dona Raines. I'm very lucky and grateful to call them all really wonderful friends.

Before I forget, someone sent me flowers this morning; I haven't opened the container yet because I had other priorities. I'm delighted that someone thought to make this gesture but schlepping around a cramped space with a load of flowers isn't graceful when you can hardly move, or hardly carry the bundle with one hand, and having to make myself presentable to the deliverer quicky was uncomfortable. A card is much easier!

Enough about me.
