This is what it looked like in 2007 when we were building the Rehearsal Center- the door at the top of the steps is where the door on the RIGHT of the old barn was.

Greetings from Toyland!

My SS visit was too early;I'd been either misinformed last year or I misunderstood. I can't do anything about registering until 3 months before my birthday, so I have to book an appointment for around June 19 to register. I liked the clerk who assisted me very much, and I return then.

Great photos, DR JRand61! You must feel very proud of the PCP accomplishment.

Visited the dentist today for a check-up. As I hadn't been for 2 years I was expecting the worst but there was nothing wrong and so they just needed a clean.

The best party I ever attended was Sandy and my wedding reception.

Incidentally, yesterday (29) was our 11th anniversary.

Congratulations.

DR JOHNG that sounds like a GREAT party.....even with the alligators.

The guests kept all of their limbs, so that was great.

Great photos. Thanks for sharing.

I'm up - I'm sure I would have slept at least another hour had the telephonic device not rung - it was the car place and an automated voice making sure I was happy with last week's service call.

You can say that again! I made sure to show them to my neighbor who is a DA. He laughed and said they were growing in his backyard

Oh good. I hesitated to ask if you told someone, after all you are an intelligent lawyer.

Before I went to bed, I took some codiene-laced aspirin I purchased last August in Dublin

Purchased over the counter?

I'm glad you slept well.

I could say the same about our wedding reception. I had a great time.

Orchestra part dilemma: I can't get the reduction on the printer to work so do i want to print everything on 8.5x11 and enlarge it? I am not happy at the moment.

The old hand-copied parts were generally 9.5x12.5. With the printer, I can print a nice part that's around 11x13, after cutting down the 11x17 paper, but it seems awfully large to me. The only way I can get a copy onto 9.5x12.5 is to copy it on 8.5x11 and enlarge it by around 115%.

I apologize, meant to comment on your party story which I enjoyed very much.

My mother, the nurse, wasn't shy about giving us codeine cough medicine. Even when we weren't coughing. She also used to bring home empty ether cans for me to play with, since I loved the smell of ether when I was a kid. Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #48 on:** April 30, 2012, 10:20:16 AM »

I still have a memory -- (and perhaps it's never been anything but a fragment of an impression of an imagined or dreamed moment) -- of the ether mask being place over my face for my age-four tonsillectomy. At times I've thought there was smell attached to that memory, but I can't lock in on it. Bizarre, the things that stay with us.

I remember quite clearly the gauze mask being put over my nose and mouth and then the doctor dripping the ether onto it! It was a sickly sweet smell, but I loved it.

I'm the third with an ether memory. We (my two sisters and I) had our tonsils and adenoids out at the same time around 1957 and I can still see in my mind being wheeled into the operating room on a gurney and having the mask placed over my face and being told to count back from 10. I made it to 9.

I think three children between the ages of 7 and 4 having their tonsils and adenoids out at the same time and then coming home for recuperation helped lead to my mother's breakdown soon after that.

John G. · « **Reply #51 on:** April 30, 2012, 10:56:59 AM »

I have been told by more than a few than my mind words as if I had been inhaling a little too much ether ...

ChasSmith · « **Reply #52 on:** April 30, 2012, 11:04:13 AM »

My memory had the mask as being of a honeycombed look or texture.

I can now say that I have added to my life's achievements by having googled "ether mask".

I've been doing a lot of cutting and pasting - that's all I can say. Have sent out the eBlast for the next Kritzerland show, have answered e-mails and like that there.

bk · « **Reply #55 on:** April 30, 2012, 11:23:45 AM »

Must prep the new release announcement, too - I'll do that after errands and whatnot.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #56 on:** April 30, 2012, 11:52:05 AM »

Thanks DR ELMORE and DR JANE - yes, it is most enjoyable to see what we have accomplished, and we did a lot of that last year during our 50th anniversary season......

Yes DR ELMORE at 61 years and 9 months in May - I can start my application for Social Security, which I will do. My work income is such that I can continue to work a couple of days at the Book Store and not exceed my $14,200 salary limit.....and my PERF retirement monthly payment is NOT counted toward the limit.

Did I hear a huge sigh of relief?

I have returned home from Toyland, still pondering what to do about these orchestra parts. I did call Kinko's about having 2000 sheets of 11x17card stock cut to 9.5x 12.5 and delivered. The price wasn't bad.
