Jane,

If you have a few specific keywords for what you're trying to find, try Google. Type in these words and, in quotation marks, "Haines his Way." It may not work, but could be worth trying.

Well, the guest bathroom is now functioning properly and the sewage line on the other bathroom is now fixed, too. Still no hot water and probably won't have until Tuesday, but slowly everything's getting done. I bicycled at the gym for thirty-five minutes, burned 200 calories, took a sauna, shaved and showered and I'm as fresh as a daisy.

On my way to do some errands and then I'll be on my way to the theater to rehearse the new song and then tonight in it goes. Keep the home fries burning, you dear, dear people out there in the dark.

Oh, you're not trying to find past notes, you're trying to actually search something in the old notes. There is some glitch there and I'm not sure why it's never been fixed. It may have something to do with when we switched servers or software - I'll ask.

If I recall correctly, at the time we switched I didn't have a problem, however others did.

Thanks Dan-in-Toronto. Sometimes that works, or when researching something I am surprised to find a reference to HHW.

Bruce good vibes on the new song tonight!

Another bit of amazing timing:
I'm reading a book
(Hide In Plain Sight by Paul Buhle and somebody)
that claims that The Dick Van Dyke Show changed society. And they're clearly going to make similar claims for That Girl and The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

The musical I'm writing now has a lot in common with The Dick Van Dyke Show, so that obviously had an effect on me.

And when our new next-door-neighbor said she hadn't gotten around to hanging her "M" quite yet, I knew exactly what she met.

In my view, television's never been better than The Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore Shows.

This morning I went for a walk, and this is what I saw:

Jane · « **Reply #127 on:** September 02, 2004, 04:39:05 PM »

Turns out the pharmacist was wrong and I would not have had to take a complete set of new antibiotics, only enough for the remaining number of days left-if only I had known. One has to wonder then why the doctor didn’t just order the correct amount of meds instead of the full number of days and save the expense-too time consuming I suppose. The woman in his office I spoke to and complained I was not about to take ten more days of an antibiotic didn’t correct me. Now I have spoken to the doctor and I’m off them completely. He offered me a prescription dose of Benadryl for the rash but I told him it would put me to sleep for two days and I will stick with my smaller dose.

DTLaura-very pretty.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #129 on:** September 02, 2004, 05:22:27 PM »

Thanks, Jane.

It looks blurry when I post it, but it's perfectly clear on my desktop. Is it just me, or is the photo blurry on this site?

Jane · « **Reply #130 on:** September 02, 2004, 06:14:27 PM »

DRLaura it doesn’t look blurry to me, but then I haven’t seen your original photo. My photos never seem as clear to me once I post them.

Noel I looked up HIDE IN PLAIN SIGHT-very interesting.

Dan-in-Toronto · « **Reply #131 on:** September 02, 2004, 06:22:28 PM »

Jane,

I'm sure you know more about this than I do ... but have lots of yogurt to counteract the antibiotics. And feel better!

Jane · « **Reply #132 on:** September 02, 2004, 06:29:44 PM »

Thanks for reminding me.

I went and opened a new bottle of Acidophilus and took some. Aside from eating the yogurt, now that I am off the antibiotic, I will take the acidophilus until the bottle is gone.

I'll just toss a favorite Janis Ian lyric into the mix while I send out good health vibes to DR Elmore and Happy Birthday Greetings to RLP!

The Bridge
(Janis Ian)

The bridge that spans the gap
between our souls
continues through the night
from pole to pole
and hope is like alight
that shiens in endless flight
spilling over into darkness
and making us wholly
free to span the oceans of our lives
Feeling only love's emotion
suspended through the skies
and when we meet again
remember me from when
I was crawling in the darkness
You were holding to the sky

I want to get back to the city
where the neon lights shine pretty
all day long
I'm giving my heart to the rock & roll
of the city gonna save my soul
You are the captain
and the master of my soul

Long ago the loneliness of time
spinning onward into emptiness
with no reason and no rhyme
said - when two lovers meet
the heart begins to beat
just like the rhythm of the street
Sad serenaders keep the time
Midnight party makers move in line
but when we meet again
remember me from when
I was falling into darkness
and you owned the sky

Once more, from Janis:
Passion Play
(Janis Ian)

She came from Dakota
though some say she hailed from the South
He tried to believe
but each time she would leave
with the venom that dripped from her mouth
Like some angel of old bent on saving the soul,
drugged to the knees he would pray
to some rude Russian icon
that twined like a python
and blinded the sun night and day
and he'd say

Please bring me peace
You say you'll stay just to leave me
whole, all of my soul your passion play

Thou she lies to amuse, she lies to confuse
passion with vision and pain
He lies for possession and time
though there's no time to gain
Squandering feeling, constantly stealing
away from the sound of her name
is like thunder and lighting
hiding the sound of the rain
and she'd say

Please bring me peace
You say you'll stay just to leave me
whole, all of my soul your passion play

So he searches for truth
in the beauty that once was her name
senselessly trusting in time to remind her
blind, she came
Suddenly rootless, fashionably useless
magically fruitless and tame
like some Sunday scholar who lives off the squalor
of yesterday's knowledge and fame
and he'd say

Please bring me peace
You say you'll stay just to leave me
whole, all of my soul your passion play

Well some overdose, and some wrap like a rose
'round the slick perfumed nose of high noon
Burning their lips as they stoop low to kiss
some rich man's excuse for the moon
I must have been lucky - got out with my body
intact and tomorrow in tune
Now it's this sense of time that wraps like a vine
'round the neck of the sun and the moon
he'd say

Please bring me peace
You say you'll stay just to leave me
whole, all of my soul your passion play

DR Panni, re: Canadian sitcoms. DR Emily is very young. She may not even been born when the shows you mentioned were on.

I think she was talking about Canadian sitcoms now. I also don't think there are any.

As for the shows you listed, I only know one. I used to watch the King of Kensington every week. It was very funny.

Jennifer · « **Reply #138 on:** September 02, 2004, 07:14:32 PM »

DR Jane, sorry to hear about your prescription troubles. That is really crazy. The doctor should have made it clear to you. And shouldn't the pharmacist know better?

Anyhow hope you feel better.

Jennifer · « **Reply #139 on:** September 02, 2004, 07:16:13 PM »

As for tonight's Big Brother (without giving anything away):

Watch for what the evictee has to say on their way out!

Jane · « **Reply #140 on:** September 02, 2004, 07:38:45 PM »

Jennifer, thanks. I just read the label on the second prescription, the one I didn’t take. It says take until finished. So the pharmacist just did what he was told. I didn’t speak to the doctor until today. It was a case of a lack of communication. I should have asked the nurse to verify with the doctor he meant I should take that many pills. Patients unfortunately need to know the right questions to ask, and not hesitate to ask them. I was in a hurry at the time or I might have not given up so quickly.

It is the same with vets. After a couple of very bad experiences, Keith now goes on line and seems to diagnose our pets long before the vets do. He also finds all the holes in their treatment, or lack of treatment, depending on the situation.

I’m reading two interesting articles in AARP (the magazine for older people). The first article is about a new kind of pharmacist who helps people get off medications and checks they are taking the correct ones. He also does this at nursing homes and makes a difference, when the doctors listen to him. The second article is about undercover nursing home patients/cops.

SWW a Dalmatian isn't so big and they don't have much hair. I'm sure two big men shouldn't have any trouble giving Fletcher a bath....Feel better soon.

Seventy-five pounds isn't so big?

I'm not planning on der Brucer helping with any bathing, anyway. He's not all that strong, and relies on me to do any of the lifting in our house. Bathing Fletcher, like bathing Marty, will be one of my jobs, solo. Der B. will be on hand, of course, to help dry Fletcher off.

But Fletcher's coat is so soft and smooth! And he's such a loving dog. He just doesn't understand that he's very big, and intimidating to the others. (Does any large dog, or small dog, have any concept of their size?)

Thanks for the wishes about my cold.

Jane · « **Reply #142 on:** September 02, 2004, 08:02:26 PM »

I didn't mean lifting at all.

It just helps to have someone to help keep the dog still. I'm not very strong either. I still say a dog without much hair has to be easier, unless he freaks out, to bathe than a dog with long hair.

I'm sure you will give us a full report after his first bath.

I did watch both episodes of RESCUE ME, and it's a quality drama. Denis leary plays a fascinating character as the leading fireman (he wrote and executive produced the show). Daniel Sunjata (from TAKE ME OUT and TV's SVU) is also in the cast.

I watched BIG BROTHER tonight, the last half hour anyway, and was amazed at the face-off between the party leaving and the often-on-the-chopping-block Marvin. But I didn't blame him. The One leaving was attempting to use some sort of threat/intimidation about having power as a member of the jury, and it just sounded like sour grapes to me.

Perhaps this is the cheesiest favorite lyric of all, but every time I hear these words, I cry like a...hopeful teenager:

To dream the impossible dream,
To fight the unbeatable foe,
To bear with unbearable sorrow,
To run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong,
To love pure and chaste from afar,
To try when your arms are too weary,
To reach the unreachable star.

This is my quest,
To follow that star --
No matter how hopeless,
No matter how far.

To fight for the right
Without question or pause,
To be willing to march
Into hell for a heavenly cause.

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will be peaceful and calm
when I'm laid to my rest.

And the world will be better for this,
that one man scorned and covered with scars
still strove with his last ounce of courage.
To reach the unreachable star.

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong
To be better far than you are
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star.

This is my quest, to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To be willing to give when there's no more to give
To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live

And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star.

Oh and in late breaking news, my waterbed has a leak. And now in addition to having to get a new mattress, I have probably 5 or 6 loads of wash to do (soaking wet blankets/comforters and towels).

Yeah

AARRGGHH!! I've been gone all day and have been home for only about an hour and I read the post (above) which reminds me that I MUST DO LAUNDRY ALSO!! I have no clean shirts and no clean underwear!! Most unseemly!!
