I just watched "Iron Man 2" with Robert Downey, Jr., and will now watch "Hysteria," with Kim Criswell.

Thanks, Jeanne, for asking (and other DRs, as well!). I believe that today I am starting to feel like my old self.       :)

Very good news, Sing!!

A belated happy Sunday to all,

I know I've gone missing this week. it was a very difficult one and I didn't want to bring that in here. It was simply something to be weathered. The worst is over, so all is as well as can be.

BK, I've been reading your reports on Abner. Congrats on how well things are going. I'm not certain which night I'm coming, but I will be there. It all depends on the timing of certain auditions this week.

I hope everyone has had a great week. Onward and upward.   :D

Well, yesterday here was the first truly nice spring-like day that we've had. It was prom night for many, so like the good Uncles that we are, we trooped over to the Walker Art Museum near downtown Minneapolis to see our niece getting pre-photos taken.


This looks like fun :)

I'm glad to hear it. Personally, I'd like to feel like my young self, but so would a lot of people!

As for a gift, I decided to get her a "then and now" book about Washington, DC. It shows photos from many years ago alongside photos of the same street, etc. from today.

This is a perfect gift for a 90 year old.  Well done!

With so many spoilers out there due to the internet you are lucky to feel this way.  I rarely read mysteries as a child and had to check the end of a Nancy Drew books to be sure everything would be ok, and of course they were.  Aside from that I rarely want to know.  The last book I read I did go to the end hoping to learn enough to skip the last 10 chapters of the book.  Unfortunately it didn't tell me enough and I had to finish reading the book-lol

DR ryacko I'm glad the worst is over now, however, don't be surprised when you feel like you have been slugged again.

VIBES OF COMFORT!!!!

DR Vixmom I'm not sure why you call it the " dreaded  bone density".  It is about the easiest test around.

It was actually "the dreaded mammogram  and not dreaded  bone density"

The bone density was quick and painless, I am still bruised and tender from the other

Congrats to THE VIXTER.

DR DRUXY - I saw that the book was on sale, but it seemed a bit pricey.....I am still thinking about it.

Thanks JRand!

Congrats to The Vixter!  It sounds like she has a good, fun job there, among good, fun people.  Very lucky.

I think we talked about this once but it didn't sink in.  It's Texas Road House, the national chain?  I didn't even know it was a chain until I saw them in a couple of places.  We don't have one right here, but I see they're in two places that are half an hour away, and it looks like there's one right where I'm going for that matinee today.  I won't be eating there today, but I want to get to one soon.

Yes it is the chain -  I never heard of it until they started  building the one down the block.  I suspect we would be regulars even if the Vixter hadn't been hired to work there, the food is always good, service impeccable and the prices are quite reasonable. If you are a steak lover I highly recommend it

Yup.  At least they aren't as bad as they used to be.

Good morning, all! I slept very late.  Between all the sudden activity of this month, the madness yesterday with Verizon and door keys, not to mention the burgeoning insanity of the Man from Philadelphia who's working my last nerve this week, I'm ready for a vacation. This week, I'm thinking about my belongings out of Toyland and telling the Man from Philadelphia to lose my number. First, I have to mix ROBERTA and invoice him for the work. Something's going on with him at present and he's driving everyone mad.

Verizon tells me they cannot credit me; they know I'm owed a credit since their inventory shows that they have one more cell phone of the type I bought - since I paid for two - but they have some cockamamie reason why they simply can't issue a credit; it will destroy my phone records, so I'm going to get a reimbursement check or something. Then I'll flap my arms and fly to the moon.  If there's no action on this by Friday, I will issue a dispute with my bank.



Vibes of all sorts to Elmore.

I have some work here on an old score I wrote in 1985, and then I will hopefully chill out. I have some reading to do on Franz Lehar and "The Merry Widow," for my round of notes, and then I hope to watch PHILOMENA, which I've wanted to see for months.

I like what I see of the LI'L ABNER scenery and costumes. Wish I could see it.

DR singdaw, I'm glad you are feeling better!

DR vixmom, please tell the vixter I send my congratulations!

Thanks Elmore!

I had sad news from my brother Randy this morning; my dad's 50-year-old company, Piping of Ohio, is no more. Everything was auctioned off last week, and I'm grateful that a company begun to pay for my schooling, since my Dad worried that he couldn't put me through college,  supported my brothers for as long as it did. Randy wrote that the auction did very well, better than expected, and paid off all the existing debts.

I don't know what Lady M will do now, with nothing to bitch at JoAnn about.

Now, if we could only sell that Oho property!

 I am so sorry to hear this.  I suppose they will have to go and find jobs now - after having been  business owners for many years  that may be a jarring experience and the incentive needed to  sell the property
