Bruce is this the same menu you saw? For one the #11 is different.

Nope, that's not the new menu. The new menu has the classic number 11, Those Potatoes, and its missing several of the lame newer additions on that 9/25/13 menu.

Maybe you can suggest they do something about the website.

I was curious if they still had the chocolate milk shake made with vanilla ice cream, the best ever IMHO. The last time I had it the Beverly Hills location was still open and they used Häagen-Dazs ice cream. I don't know what chocolate they used.

I'm looking at a big pile of towels on the floor that were just waiting for my pool towel before I did the load. There is no way I'm bending all the way to the floor to pick them up-not worth the pain.

Hello, everyone.

Thanks for all the vibes, hugs, and good wishes you all sent. I'm holding my own and am pleased to say I had NO trips to the ER this week. In fact, I'm improving a bit. The cardiologist told me to eat something high in potassium when the bouts occur. Why wait? I've been taking extra potassium and do think it's helping. I'm scheduled for an exercise echo in a few weeks. If I pass that I'll be relieved.

Glad to hear about the reopening of the Hamburger Hamlet. It really deserves stick around.

Jeanne · « **Reply #66 on:** September 13, 2014, 03:00:03 PM »

Welcome home, Ginny! Glad you had a good trip. Any trouble staying heart-healthy in France?

Jeanne · « **Reply #67 on:** September 13, 2014, 03:03:36 PM »

Jane, you asked about Netflix. I get the discs and for the most part they arrive in one day. Getting to me is quite reliable, but outgoing from me to them is sometimes a problem. Our mail carrier often comes quite late (8 pm isn't unusual), and the disc then goes out a day later. USPS problems, in other words. Otherwise, everything's been surprisingly reliable.

Enjoyed JRand's photos. Congrats on what you've made of the role.

the Vixter and I seem to carry a curse with us - if there is a long time business tat we have never been to na d we finally go to it , it immediately closes

It happened with the mattress store --- there for 30 years , closed the month after we bought a mattress

the Beechtree Cafe... after more than 25 years , gone 2 weeks after our visit

The Garden Diner....after 10 years

The Chinese take out restaurant that had been in the same location since 1962 not only closed , it burned down the night we made our first visit in 2012

Last night after the wake, the Vixter and I went to a coffeehouse that has been in business for 10 years to have a light meal and a chat. We enjoyed ourselves and told the waitress we would be back.

She informed us that they were closing at the end of September since they lost their lease

The Vixter and I just looked at each other and whispered "the curse"

Far too common, in my experience. I partly blame the landlords, some of whom qouge and expect tenants to pay a percentage of their profits back in additional rent. Some of it, I think, is due to the trendiness of today's culture. That said, Vixmom, you don't plan to visit the Hamburger Hamlet any time soon, do you?

Jane · « **Reply #70 on:** September 13, 2014, 03:10:34 PM »

DR Jeanne I'm glad you have improved and the potassium is working.

Thanks for responding about Netflix. I will know after a few more discs but it appears mail to and from Salem, the location of the warehouse for the 1st 2 we received, is 2 days each way vs 1 day from Portland or when we had a mailing address in Medford.

As long as we are receiving shows we request 2 days is acceptable. Not acceptable was them not sending us anything at all.

Shootings at 84th Street and Amsterdam and at 83rd and Amsterdam last night! Just around the corner from me. I haven't lived in a neighborhood with shootings on the corner since 1980 when there were shootings at 94th and Amsterdam.

I, of course, blame the NRA.

So sorry to hear about this. I hope that's the end of it.

Thanks, DR Jeanne! The trip was wonderful and I didn't really pay much attention to diet. We walked A LOT, so I figure I got some good cardiovascular exercise.

Ginny · « **Reply #74 on:** September 13, 2014, 03:17:34 PM »

DR Jeanne, I'm sorry I completely missed your recent news about your trip to the ER - had to go back through your posts to find the details. Glad to hear you've had a quiet week, but TAKE NO CHANCES!

Jeanne · « **Reply #75 on:** September 13, 2014, 03:17:47 PM »

Bruce, regarding weight loss, I've found that I must be really judicious with carbs. A "sensible" diet just isn't enough. When I really cut the carbs I lose. (Well, I win, actually, but you know what I mean.)

That's why I called 911. My symptoms were just too close to heart attack symptoms, particularly when women's symptoms can be so subtle or even nonexistent. Plus, tachycardia is exhausting.

I don't hear BK complaining about the heat. LA is hot today and for the next few days. It's 81 in the apartment, WITH the AC on, a fan running, and the shades closed. Ugh!

I'm thinking about trying WarbyParker for my next pair of reading glasses. MUCH cheaper than what I've been paying. Has anyone tried them or other online opticians?

Jeanne · « **Reply #79 on:** September 13, 2014, 03:27:24 PM »

TTFN.

Stay cool, kids.

Carbs really help for me too. But I also think eating a bunch of smaller meals vs one meal a day would help.

I would hesitate to try progressive lenses online. A straight script seems reasonable and I have know people happy with it. My problem is how to know the frame will fit or look good.

Question:

If you are retired, can you still go on vacation?

And if you do, what are you on vacation from?

Jane · « **Reply #85 on:** September 13, 2014, 04:14:06 PM »

Vacation is from the word vacate.

Jane · « **Reply #86 on:** September 13, 2014, 04:14:25 PM »

Are you going someplace?

bk · « **Reply #87 on:** September 13, 2014, 04:32:04 PM »

No trips to the ER is good.

Jane · « **Reply #88 on:** September 13, 2014, 04:34:46 PM »

That is an understatement

Jane · « **Reply #89 on:** September 13, 2014, 04:35:22 PM »

Yet, that is how Bryan is making living-on those who need those trips.
