DR Jane - Alas, Ashland is not on my itinerary.

I see by your schedule

When you are in Portland try to go to my favorite restaurant, Toro Brovo, & I shall try to meet you there.

I can suggest a few other favorites if this doesn't appeal to you.

Hello, new-to-me DR ChasSmith!

DR Jose you are going to enjoy DR ChasSmith once you get to know him.

DR Jose, you can just pack up that little bike thing while in Portland. My car and I will be at your disposal and we can eat anywhere and anyplace...of course Mummy's would be highly recommended by the likes of me.

And for drinks/entertainment (be sure to bring lots of dollar bills, if you get my drift) I will take you to The Silverado

MBarnum · « **Reply #187 on:** July 24, 2012, 03:40:22 PM »

And DR JoseP, regarding that bike...just keep in mind that the Pacific Northwest might be rather rainy that time of year and biking may not be too terribly comfortable or safe.

I gotta tell you.

Follies will be sold out in the next day or two, at least that's what it's looking like now. I predict that the minute we put up the sold out sign I get a ton of e-mails saying, "I just found out about it."

And I shall laugh and laugh and just when I think I can laugh no more, I shall laugh again.

Sherman Hemsley has died.

Farewell, George Jefferson!

Oh, that is sad. I can't actually say that he was ever a favorite of mine, but he certainly was a big part of my childhood and teen years.

I did not realize that he had never married.

I didn't realize that either, but did you know that Isabel Sanford was 20 and a half years OLDER than he was?

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #192 on:** July 24, 2012, 04:03:38 PM »

Umm...

If I procrastinate about packing, I'll be more efficient when I do start packing...

Right?

DR MBarnum - If the weather does hold out, I do hope to get around on my bike for a couple of hours.

As for food, well... I already have a "List" - most of which I know I won't be able to get to. I also have some Chefs that I'm supposed to check-in with, so... I'm sure I'll end up well-fed regardless.

DR Jane - Thankfully, I'm flying out west on Jet Blue - one free checked bag, and I'm flying back east on Southwest - two free checked bags. So I'll only have two flight segments where I'll have to shell out an additional $25.

My Brompton has it's own "luggage" and it's small enough to be considered standard checked baggage - no extra bicycle charge.

*And I'm taking Amtrak from Seattle to Portland.

good morn to all.

How are you feeling, Mike?

Thank you for asking,

I have good days and bad days. Recently they have been bad. I wish it was 2 years ago when I didn't have any of this.

I'm sorry. I hope things improve soon.

Me too!

I stopped off at the dollar store and what to my wandering eyes did appear--no not what you think. Mary Janes! I haven't seen them in ages. I know I shouldn't have bought the box but I couldn't help myself. And I've had 4 so far. Can't help it--they are so good!

In other news I have found a use for Facebook (sorry BK). You know I've been struggling with the stupid insurance company to pay my claim for Short Term Disability. Well I found out they have a Facebook page. I posted: "It's been over 2 months since you denied my claim and I sent my rebuttal. I want to know what your answer is or do I have to sue you?".

Well that got a response. They sent me a message saying they wanted "reach out to me and to please give them a contact number". I did and received a call from the home office asking what was going on. I explained the whole thing to them and was promised I would have an answer within 72 hours. It didn't even take that long. I got a call this afternoon telling me they would pay my claim and have already been in touch with my employer to find out when I returned to work.

Ha!

Laura · « **Reply #202 on:** July 24, 2012, 04:31:22 PM »

Wow, Danise! That's great.

The Monarch Scientist has a similar story about a department store.

Danise · « **Reply #203 on:** July 24, 2012, 04:32:10 PM »

In yet other news, I received the dogs Thunder Shirts. It was so cute. I put Sheena's on first to make sure it fit and then took it off of her. She hopped around like a bunny with it on so I didn't think she liked it.

Then I put Toby's on to see if it fit and Sheena got all jealous, went over and nudged her shirt and sat down. I asked her if she wanted her shirt back on so I put it on her and she wiggled like she was all happy about it. Toby seems to really like his as well. He was all a wiggle as well. I left it on them for a few minutes and they both seemed to settle down. I think they really like it!

Of course we have had rain and lighting storms every day. Until today when they received their shirts. I know the time will come when I can try them but it never fails to amaze me at the timing. Or lack there of.

Danise · « **Reply #204 on:** July 24, 2012, 04:34:49 PM »

MBarnum · « **Reply #205 on:** July 24, 2012, 04:41:25 PM »

DR JoseP, does that mean that you would prefer to go around to the eating places on your own?

If that is the case I certainly will understand, but I do hope that we can still meet up while you are in town. I would really like to take you around to see the sights, or at least some of them.
