It's not suppose to get above 88 degrees in Western Washington today, so, of course, I have pulled out my heavy sweaters. They say that this is the last of the really hot days this week, but I will reserve judgement.

It's 85° Fahrenheit in Olympia right now. I'm in a somewhat air conditioned building, but I'm quite comfortable. I hope it doesn't get any hotter. I don't like the heat, unless I'm ... umm ... nevermind.

Sandra, maybe you can make me feel like the 97 degrees it is here now isn't all that bad... Arizona weather report?

Now, now, let us not let little differences of opinion cause people to get ruffled feathers. It's pointless, really, and not what we're about here. Jrand, I hope you will continue to post and say what you please, and I hope everyone will either agree, disagree or ignore WITH RESPECT. That's all I ask - unless we're talking about certain people that I don't care for, then we can do whatever we want.

I had just written up the following to post - but see that bk has posted something similar - but I'll post it anyway:

Everyone seems to be ignoring the fact that JR has left the site in a huff. I don't know what he said at Chat, but he certainly seems to be someone who posts frequently and supports the site 100%. Again, I don't know the specifics of what was said last night - but I do agree with JR's last post -- that people should be allowed to express their viewpoints. As long as it's all polite and civilized.

Well, Jed, it is a mere 102 degrees here, although our neighborhood is a bit warmer and smokier now because the house across the street caught fire. Luckily, the firefighters came and got the fire out and everything's fine.

Just got my personally inscribed edition of Denny Miller's memoir hot off the presses, which includes a blurb by me. Handsome looking oversized paperback with lots of pictures.

Let us have HHW be the place to be in the world where people of different political stripes can express themselves and agree to disagree.

I would not want any HHWer to leave or to feel hurt 'cause I like everybody!

I might like to pick up that book! I remember I wrote to him a few years back and sent him a photo to sign. He not only sent back the photo personally autographed, but included several more autographed photos and a nice letter updating me on his current work! Seems like such a nice guy!

Might I then presume you support the bearing of firearms for the purpose of limiting the squirrel population?

No.

Actually I just said I didn't care for them. I didn't say I wanted to dispose of them entirely.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #131 on:** June 21, 2004, 03:58:16 PM »

Well, it's not exactly fine, as I'm sure the house is a total loss. The street is yellow-taped off at the moment. It took at least ten minutes for the fire department to get here.

Jennifer · « **Reply #132 on:** June 21, 2004, 04:01:18 PM »

DR Jrand: Don't leave us. I too have no idea what was said in the chat last night. But as long as everyone respects each other, I think you should be allowed to express your opinion.

You always seem very polite and respectful. Anyhow who is mad at you?

Okay I am so confused. BK if you don't want us talking about the ads can you say so now. I do remember when they first appeared. And I do remember Mark mentioning that we probably shouldn't talk about them. But I don't remember why. If there is some reason, they I certainly won't mention them again.

But today's that Jason inspired was just too funny to pass up.

Good Early Evening!

-I waited... and waited... I went ahead and practiced (even got one of the Chopin preludes memorized!)... I waited... I saw something in the lobby of the school that didn't sit too well with me... I walked back home... Now I need to get some dinner... And stop waiting...

Film at 11:00...

-Sorry, I'm just not in the best mood right now for a bunch of reasons known and unknown (and, yes, waiting has something to do with my current state of mind)... Thanks for the levity DR DERBRUCER. Maybe I just need some food in my stomach. Laters...

Hi Folks, remember me? I’m sorry I’ve been so E & T. I haven’t been feeling very well and when I get seem to pull myself up a bit, I get slapped back down. Sigh.

I’ve had some nights when I’ve barely been able to drag myself into the door after work and go straight to bed. I rested all weekend long but my mouth was hurting me so bad, I didn’t feel like even getting up for long periods. I puttered around on the computer for a little bit. Hope you like my new picture.

I found out today that I have to go in tomorrow morning for an emergency root canal. The emergency being that I need other surgery (another ASAP job) and can’t have it until I get the infection that has settled in my tooth/jaw under control. Now the 2nd surgery has been put back until July 22 IF everything in my mouth is gone. I’ll be E & T for a week, maybe two when that happens.

I’ve never had a root canal before. I don’t know what to expect. They say I can drive myself and that I can go to work afterwards. I hope so. I don’t have a lot of vacation or sick time left. I need to save it for the other surgery where ever possible.

If I wink out or you don’t hear from me for a few days, don’t worry. I’m just tired and may have pushed off to bed.

I know I’ve missed lots. I’m sorry. I hope everyone who had a Birthday had the best one ever and those who need vibes got them. I also hope Jane & Keith are having a WONDERFUL time with their son.

Thank you DR Dan for the kind words.

I can't remember the reasons, but no, we're not supposed to talk about the ads - it was part of the deal to use this software, that's all I remember.

Now, let's have a group hug and remember that we are the ginchiest site on all the Internet, whether we agree, disagree or whatever.

MBarnum · « **Reply #137 on:** June 21, 2004, 04:08:01 PM »

DR Danise, that all sounds awful! Hope you are well and feeling better soon. Have never had a root canal myself, but don't think I would like to have one.

Thanks, MBarnum & Jennifer. I guess I'll find out what one is like tomorrow. If I'm up to it, I'll let you know about when I get home.

Opps. I goofed.

Robin · « **Reply #143 on:** June 21, 2004, 04:53:26 PM »

As an adult, the most I ever weighed is what I weigh right now...230 pounds. Yeah, I know, I need to lose 15 or 20.

The least I ever weighed was 115 pounds, due to an extended hospital stay after being gay-bashed fourteen years ago. In three weeks, I dropped 85 pounds. But, with the help of my lover, some beautiful friends, a wonderful physical therapist who stoically put up with my verbal abuse of her, and some truly vile high-calorie, high-carbohydrate milkshakes, I gained it all back (and then some).

Danise - I've had root canal - and theses days it's not bad. I think it still has its old rep, due in part to the phrase "I'd rather have a root canal" becoming part of the vernacular, but modern dentistry has made it quite bearable.

Robin - 85 pounds in 3 weeks! That's horrific.

Robin · « **Reply #147 on:** June 21, 2004, 05:13:13 PM »

Besides, having a root canal is infinitely preferable to the consequences of not having one.

bk · « **Reply #148 on:** June 21, 2004, 05:14:29 PM »

Just had a REALLY long and lovely chat with our very own Miss Cindy Williams. Also, used up some store credit and got advance copies of new DVDs such as Robert Wise's The Set Up, Joseph H. Lewis' brilliant film noir, Gun Crazy, the new SE of Blazing Saddles and best of all the new Dame Edna DVD.

Danise, re the root canal. I had escaped having them and always heard the worst about the procedure. When I had to have an emergency one last year I was worried. I have a high tolerance for pain but Anthony was on LI for business and I was worried about how it would affect me. I was pleasantly surprised that it was not the torture I had heard. It certainly is unpleasant and I would not want to have one again, but with the right amount of novacaine and proper preparation, it was tolerable. I left the office and went back to work that afternoon. The real pain came in the price. I have no dental insurance so I had to pay for the entire procedure. That's where the shock came in. I was also very lucky to have a good dentist (I forget what the specialty is called). He actually called me in the late afternoon to make sure I was OK. I had never met him until the morning of the procedure. He had been recommended by my dentist. The specialist was kind and attentive and was gently insistent that I should probably take the pain medication before I go to be for the night. All in all, considering the circumstances, it all turned out for the best. I hope that your root canal is similar.

JRand, come back (I feel like Brandon De Wilde in Shane).
