Did anyone see the poor reporter that had a stroke while covering the Grammies the other night?

I saw a story about it. The doctor in the piece as saying it might have been aphasia, though I don't rightly know the difference.

  I don't think I will soon forget the look of  horror in her eyes as she was trying to speak but nothing understandable was coming out.

[John G.]

Had to go to a pie-tasting this afternoon. French coconut, maple pecan, lemon meringue, sweet potato pecan, chocolate ice box, egg custard -- and those were just the ones I tasted. I know the place had good cherry and apple, even Boston Cream, but I was trying to be good.

Definitely disturbing. Do you know how she is now?

  Oh, man.  You HAD to go.  I wish I HAD to go....  the maple pecan, the lemon meringue, the egg custard!  I can feel my sugar rising as I type this!

  From what I read, they never even took her to the hospital!  They said she was doing ok but I think she really, really, really needed to be checked out.

I was not going to check mine. No way.

It's a tough job, DR John G, but someone had to do it - right?

Thank you, Jane. I made a vegan soup tonight: Tomato Celery Apple. Has a little onion and some veggie stock in it. Just what I needed today.

Sounds good.

I looked up aphasia.  Basically, if you watched the video which I didn't, what you saw is aphasia.  It can be caused by various problems, including a stroke.

The day started at 4:45 Am with the cats making as much noise as possible in my room.  Never mind that this house is between 2000 and 2500 square feet, they had to have a row in my room.   I was so mad that I ended up being wide awake and up for the day.  I searched the house for 2 hours for my divorce decree (for the application) and couldn't find it.   Then Edith decided today was the day to get all upset with me about things in general.  I think we cleared the air, but I wasn't really up to that.  Then a client called just to complain and get a bad experience with the security guards at the immigration building "off his chest".   His appointment went well, but he was upset the guards weren't nicer to him.  Oh good grief. 

I never expected you would need your divorce decree.  Do you have to send for a new one?

It doesn't say that I need a certified copy, so I'm having them fax me a file stamped copy.  If I have to redo it, i will

[Laura]

Cillaliz, are you going to have to take a bar exam again?

I agree she needed to be checked, unless she already knows what caused it.

I had quite a day.  I spent almost the entire day working on the application for the Nebraska bar.  I'm hoping to be admitted so I can work across the river in South Sioux City.  It's so close that it's silly I haven't done this sooner.  The 40 page application is what stopped me.  Well, it's done.  I get my fingerprints done tomorrow and will get more documents I need on Tuesday, then I rob the piggybank and send it all in.  Whew!

Congratulations on completing the first batch paperwork.  Vibes the entire process goes smoothly from now on!

Thanks.  It shouldn't be a problem.  I have to find two people to swear to my good moral character, and that should be it.  Then I just wait.  Sometimes they ask for another document or two, but I think i've got it all.  Not sure how long the wait is.   Then, of course, I'll have to buy some Nebraska law books.

I laughed over needing two people to swear to your good moral character.  If a person can't find two people they are in trouble.

I also needed a total of 15 references - 3 from every place I've practiced, 3 lawyers in town and 2 clients.  I think it's a bit drastic

I almost missed this and may have been better off if I had
Lemon meringue, egg custard, Boston Cream, oh my!

Cillaliz, are you going to have to take a bar exam again?

No, just have to pay $950.00

No wonder you haven't rushed to do this.

Whew!  Only took me 3 times to get that typed correctly!

Yup.  I only gave them 1 from Phoenix it's just been too long since I was there.  I mean seriously, calling someone you haven't seen in 20 years and saying "Hi!, want to be a character reference for me?" I think not

[Danise]

Well folks, it's that time. 

Vibes to all who need them.

May none of us have pain of any sort--physical, mental or of the heart.

'night all.

DR's in Northern Oregon & Washington is your news buzzing about solar flares tonight?

So, while I was buried deep in my paper, I missed the Jewish film festival in town, which closes tonight. The hit, or so I'm told, was a film called "Jews and Baseball." I really wish I could have seen it.

Oh, darn! It's hard for me to keep up with where everyone is. It has more dates on Florida; I'll see if any are near Naples. Glad to hear it was a hit!

[Cillaliz]

Thanks Danise, but I haven't practiced law in Florida.

I know!  And I'd heard that she just went home afterwards...she didn't go to the hospital!  What's that all about??

I am back from the Triad, where I saw something called  "Jacques Brel Returns," an offshoot of the last Off-Broadway revival of Jacques Brel Is Alive & Well & Living In Paris. I am not a fan of a lot of the rethinking of material in that revival, although I am a huge fan of Brel. This cabaret night bothered me because of the constant shift between English and French lyrics, although I have to say in its defense a lot of Brel's original songs vere between French and Flemish.

I liked three of the singers a lot - Robert Cuccioli, Natascia Diaz, and Jean Brassard  - and really disliked Karen Kohler; nothing she did amused me or my friend. The pianist Rick Hip-Flores was wonderful.

It was also great to catch up with my old friend Peter Clem, and I think we will initiate a once-monthly dinner, just so we don't lose touch with each other for another 20 years.

The new season of SURVIVOR starts tonight. I have not decided if I will be watching this time, or not. I bailed out of last season's about half way through.

Good thing:  Boston Rob is back


Horrible thing:  The vile Russell is also back...for the third time in less than what seems like a year. 

Well Boston Rob is one of my all time favorite Survivors so I definitely will be watching. And I actually sort of like Evil Russell. He is a quite brilliant player. So I will enjoy seeing what will happen.

"Brilliant" players win, Jennifer.  In two tries, Russell has only alienated anyone and everyone who might have cast a "winning"vote for him.   

I disagree that brilliant players win. Russell made it to the finals twice. I don't think the best players usually win.
