From DR TCB:

Jennifer, I really think you need to see your doctor for a complete exam.

I was going to suggest the same thing.  There should be loads of blood taken & tests to be run to find out why you have been so run down the last year.  It might be more than just catching things from your nieces.

Not run down the last year, only the last month.  I don't really have any other symptoms. And it is common (for me at least) to feel a bit under the weather when the seasons change. I"m not really sick. I've often felt under the weather for a while. But then it goes away.

If i felt like crap i would definitely go to the doctor. But what should i say now. That i'm 70%. Most people probably feel only 70% much of the time. It mostly impacts my ability to exercise.

It seems on and off you have been ill with things that lingered for a long time.  When was the last time you had routine blood work done?

[Jennifer]

Tonight I had some homemade (not by me) bean and barley soup with meat in it. I don't know why but I just love b&b soup when it has fall off the bone meat in it!

[Jane]

Well, I learned on tonight's news about how my credit card theft happened: monitors on 63 Barnes & Noble stores, including the one where I used to work at 82nd and Broadway.  Istopped in there several weeks ago to buy Godiva truffles for my dinner host when my friend Elena was in town.

You used your debit card?  We don't use ours since our account was hacked at Costco.  No one said for sure it was Costco but they were the only place we used the debit card.  Now they take American Express cards.

I never use my debit card to buy anything at stores. Either credit card or cash.

With the right credit card you can get cash back.  The key is to pay everything off immediately without monthly interest payments.

It has been a while since I've had blood work.

I don't think I got sick at all during this past summer. I think summers i am usually good cause lots of exercise and fresh air.

[Jane]

Has anybody found any new series that they really enjoy?

I decided not to watch many new shows. I am watching ARROW and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. I"ve only seen one ep of the first and two of the latter. So far I really like BATB.

I had passed on BATB.  We missed the first episode of ARROW and caught the second one.  I'm on the fence with this one leaning towards dropping it.

[Jane]

I think I'd like the club if it was only my books.

I've read some books I would never had read and been very glad I did.  This has happened more than the books I wish I had never read & would not have done so on my own.  There are clubs with more selective categories which are more difficult to find unless they are mystery groups.

Even books I have disliked have had great discussions, sometimes better than a book that everyone likes.

I just have so many books in my TBR list that I want to read.

Then maybe it would be a good idea for a routine check-up and blood work.

Then you need to find a TBR book club.  Good luck with that.   If you did, before joining find out what books they plan to read.  Libraries & books stores are good places to find book groups, if you decide to look into it.

The good thing is that I can discuss the books I read on goodreads.

[Jennifer]

I need to go check my library account to see if anything I want has come in.

Thank you for introducing me to goodreads.  While I don't discuss books there I enjoy other aspects of the site.

THE TIGER'S WIFE, the book I need to lead the discussion for came in the eBook form today.  Now I don't have to get a hard copy or paper back.

I like Goodreads also.

There are several books that others are reading that I am considering. I did read Time Traveller's Wife a few years ago. I enjoyed it.

[DakotaCelt]

Love Jane Austen... I have read Pride and Prejudice one toooooo many times. It is one of my favorites by her.

[Jennifer]

I love goodreads. I am able to keep track of all the books i've read and want to read.

DR Jane how many books have you read this year? Or do you keep track?

[Jane]

I forgot to continue dating the books I have read.  Figure at least two books a week.

So do I.

'night

[bk]

Back from the engineer's home environment - we listened to the live recording of Juliana Hansen's show, which sounds very good - just debating whether I actually want to release it or not.  And we recorded all the Stephen Findle dialogue for the first two episodes, so that's done.

[DakotaCelt]

Safe travel vibes to Mike and Elmore!

[MBarnum]

No one ever wants to discuss the books that I read.

[DakotaCelt]

I wonder how close we are to page 5?

[DakotaCelt]

I need to add the last two book I read. Just got done reading one by Louise Erdrich  called Islands and Books. It is more a personal journey to understand the rock paintings on rocks in Northern Minnesota and Ontario from an Ojibwe perspective.

Interesting book... I have been chewing on some of her comments for several days.

[Cillaliz]

Well, I've seen my new refrigerator.

It's a GE, and with no advance notification it arrived about 20 minutes ago. That meant a flurry of activity while I emptied the old one and thedelivery men hauledit into the building. At that point I noticed thedoor was hinged incorrectly and refused to accept it. The delivery men checked the delivery info and. sure enough, GE was supposedto redo the door and they didn't. The chief delivery man called theoffice and they said to cart it back for the door replacement.

So they carted it out of here and I told them to call me on Monday and schedule a new delivery.  I'm glad it happened while I was here. Otherwise I would have come home to find a fridge in place with an inoperable door.

So, I've plugged the old one back in and put everything back into it. The new one looks great, I must say, but I cannot say I'm fond of the GE company at the moment.

I'm surprised they didn't just switch it at your apartment. You can change the side it opens on without getting a new door.  Apparently the delivery men didn't know that

[Cillaliz]

DR JENNIFER I would only use the Kindle for reading books.  I am not interested in having a tablet or telephone with internet capabilities.  I don't need to take my computer with me.

I don't text at all - and I barely use my cell phone - it is only in case of emergencies.  But then I am not so important that I need to be instantly and constantly IN TOUCH with anybody in particular.

I do NOT have WIFI, so how the KINDLE seems to be described here and elsewhere seems like just too much trouble.  I think I will keep reading BOOKS for awhile.

You do not need wifi to use your kindle. You just need it for a few minutes when you want your ebooks to download. There must be some place that has wifi near you. Do you want access to free ebooks. Amazon is the best in this respect. Or do you just want to pay full price for whatever book you want.  I really cannot recommend the kindle highly enough. Love mine.

I love my Nook.  Their new one is really just a reader.  My old nook had 3G so I didn't need wifi to download, but I'm not sure they make them that way anymore

[Cillaliz]

I thought the delivery men changed the door if it needed to be changed.

They probably couldn't fix it.

When my dryer door needed to have the direction switched I was told they don't do this due to lack of time in the scheduling, then he kindly fixed it for me. 

You can fix them, they probably just didn't know how

[Cillaliz]

Good evening.  Well it was a fun weekend in Viroqua with Gabe.  My avatar is both of is making spooky faces.   He's 5 and a doll.  I just adore him.

[Cillaliz]

The new cat sitter was a nightmare.  I came home to things moved around, mostly just things, not furniture, but also my bills my info on my accident etc.  It really bothered me.  I know she wants to be my cleaning person and to help me reorganize my house, but I didn't ask her to do any of that and it upset me.   I may have been ok if she had called me when she had problems with Callie the first night and if Callie hadn't been a mess and very very upset when I got home.  She had her medicine all over her (it's a sticky mess) and not long after I got home was throwing up.  She was very angry and wouldn't let me go near her. 

Needless to say I was totally upset.  It took me hours to get Callie to calm down. Hours to get her cleaned up and a couple days for things to get back to normal.  I am looking for a new cat sitter.  Someone who is more interested in taking care of my cats than rearranging my house.

Trust me, Jrand, even I can turn the wifi on and off.  If I can do it, anyone can.
