TOD:  Easy one -- England, preferably London.  Language, history, theatre.  I lived there for three months in the early eighties.  and I've been back to visit it close to twenty times over the years.  I immediately feel I'm home once I'm there.

Why am I not surprised you said England.

I am back. The car maintenance took much less time and MUCH less money than I had anticipated.       :)

Said nobody ever. That is great news!

You must be happy.

My sister and I are working to get my mom configured to move back to Medford to an assisted living center. Mom wants to go back, and my sister wants her to go back  8)  !

My brothers in Medford, however, are not eager for her to move back.

LOL  It is time for them to take their turn.

No matter how annoying or not annoying the meeting was (it actually wasn't annoying at all - very even-keeled and professional at every turn), waking up to this e-mail this morning made me just know that I cannot let the BS get to me.  This was sent from a friend of dear reader Ben's - he gave me permission to share it with you all:

"Our mutual friend, Ben McLaughlin, supplied me with your E-mail address so that I could write a fan letter to you.
 
Just yesterday, I finished reading the Benjamin Kritzer trilogy, with it's bittersweet ending, completing the joy ride I experienced with the entire series. Your characterization of the young protagonist was unique in his humor, way of thinking, and general outlook on life. His life experiences with books, film, plays and musicals all reflected his unique point of view. There has never been a finer hero in literature, for me at least. I especially enjoyed the larger than life characterizations of Minnie, Ernie, Jeffrey, the Gelfinbaums and several of Benjamin's teachers, all of whom comprise the wonderland that is Benjamin's life journey.
 
Benjamin's world was joyous. With the exception of several local establishments, theatres and schools, the Los Angeles locale might have been Brooklyn, NY, my hometown, with all the series' topical references. The read for me was one long smile.
 
Your writing was concise, descriptive and to the point. The trilogy was the first series that captivated my heart and imagination since I first read the Harry Potter series many years ago. Thanks for all the love and talent you put in your work.
 
Your fan,"


Very, very nice and just what you needed :)

DR John G., Thanks for comment regarding Dogville.

I will definitely watch TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT.  I Love Bogey and Bacall.



Bacall is in Dogville, but don''t let that fool you. The movie is Our Town on depressants.

Greetings from Toyland! There should be an MTA ruling if you are bigger than a house, need to take up two seats for your largesse and your tote bag since you have no lap and won't store it under your seat, and you insist - because you are a really fat slob - to infringe on the third seat so the old coot next to you is uncomfortable, then you should pay for two effin seats. Or die.

Don't hold back, Larry...tell us how you really feel.

This slob was big as a house, he was taking you two and a half seats, so his bag could occupy one seat and his grossly fat body the other one and a half. I was sitting in the half on the third sat, since this was the seating section for infirm, elderly, or maimed, and this fat slob made it completely impossible. He could have put his bag on the floor  under hs seart and occupied that seat and a half giving me a full seat. So, as son as anther seat was empty on a very full bus, I was stuck there. The driver does nothing and this pig cared not in the least. Up yours, you fat pg.

For DR Jennifer:



Charles M. Roser was a cookie maker born in Ohio. He won fame for creating the Fig Newton recipe before selling it to the Kennedy Biscuit Works (later called Nabisco).

A Fig Newton is a soft cookie filled with fig jam. A machine invented in 1891 made the mass production of Fig Newtons possible. James Henry Mitchell invented a machine which worked like a funnel within a funnel; the inside funnel supplied jam, while the outside funnel pumped out the dough, this produced an endless length of filled cookie, that was then cut into smaller pieces. The Kennedy Biscuit Works used Mitchell's invention to mass-produce the first Fig Newton Cookies in 1891.

Originally, the Fig Newton was just called the Newton. There is an old rumor that James Henry Mitchell, the funnel machine's inventor, named the cookies after that great physicist, Sir Isaac Newton, but that was just a rumor. The cookies were named after the Massachusetts town of Newton, which was close to Kennedy Biscuits. Kennedy Biscuits had a tradition of naming cookies and crackers after the surrounding towns near Boston. The name changed from Newton to Fig Newton, after the original fig jam inside the cookie gained good reviews. Later the name changed to Fig Newton Cookies.

Tomorrow I see the orthopedic surgeon to see what has to be done on my knee
According to the MRI results:
1) Tear involving the posterior horn of the medial meniscus (i'll never play music again)
2) Intrasubstance injury involving the lateral meniscus
3) Joint effusion

Good luck tomorrow.  Except for the joint effusion Keith had a similar diagnosis as this.  He was scheduled for surgery before we moved here and, not liking the surgeon or wanting to deal with surgery before moving, he canceled.   After we settled in he found an excellent doctor and again set a date for surgery.

We kept discussing that if he lost weight he might not need surgery.  Again he canceled and went on a weight loss exercise program.  17 years later he still doesn't need surgery.

I am curious of why you have joint effusion and what can be done for it.
