We need to turn the page and leave it behind.

[Jrand74]

There.....

Most of the cast of ACCOUNTANTS is in another Showcase tonight, so we are not rehearsing.

[elmore3003]

And I am home. Pondering.

[Jrand74]

What's the use of Pondering?

[Dan M]

That was a very nice thing for you to do DR DAN M.  Thanks for the link.

Thank you, but I was just doing what I could for Mrs. McCabe. I didn't know her in her heyday, but when she ran her farm and kept her books, and did all of the things around the house, and kept everyone in line, her nickname was "Big Valley" like the Barbara Stanwyck show.

Mrs. McCabe used to do fine lace work and measured out contact paper precisely before glueing it on her shelves, which were 1940s Moderne style steel. She was Martha Stewart before Martha.

I'm not in the best of moods. I've been worried about the results and didn't sleep well last night. I awoke at 2 a.m. Started to listening to NYC radio over the internet and fell asleep until 5 a.m. Then finally woke up around 9:30 a.m. Not the best way to get restful sleep.

While I was writing this post, the surgeon's office just called and said that while the results haven't come back yet, the surgeon Dr, Gernon, said that from his visual exam of the tissue, it appeared to be free of disease.

In my building, my next door neighbor on the same level moved out for good. She was very nice, very neat and clean, and very quiet. But she finally moved into her boyfriend's house.

The tenants above her on the second level moved out last month, and that unit is open.

Unfortunately for me, I still have the stupid kid above me. He's so annoying. I've complained enough about him to the front office that they've had some talks with him, so he's not as obnoxious, but he still acts like he was living in a dorm. From the time he moved in since the beginning of December until now, I've called the police on him 3 times. Because I am outside the city limits, it's the county sheriff who answers the call.

[Dan M]

But this kid needs to be knocked down a few notches. One thing I can't stand is arrogant people who have no right to be so above-it-all. He's at the most 20, and he gives off a vibe I do not like. I'm usually pretty good at first impressions. When I first saw him move in, I could tell he was trouble.

From DR TCB:

Lots and lots of water!!  And an occasional stool softener.

The doctor gave me those when I came home from the hospital after my shoulder surgery.  I only needed them a few days and then discovered I could eat all the dried fruit and licorice I wanted.  I loved it.

[Dan M]

Some days it's like living below conceited Dracula and his stupid girlfriend. She looks as dumb as a potted plant. During the day it's like they retreat to the crypt and then after 11 p.m. it's all kinds of activity. But lately, he's been tolerable because of my words with the front office. I put everything in writing because I know that they have to put that in the file. And because I have never complained before, the front office knows that the situation warrants attention.

They really made the mistake of placing him here. He's not mature enough to live in a quiet community. I know he's just a stupid college kid. But, he's a stupid college kid. As much as I can't take a crying baby, I would take that over this arrogant kid.

I guess I sound like a grumpy old man, but I'm trying to regain my health and fight cancer, not fight some know-nothing.

[Jane]

Thanks for the striped sheet idea! Still doesn't solve the damned mattress pad concerns.

I wonder if a permanent marker would do the trick.

[Jane]

Today, wife Sandy and I have been married 14 years,

And they said it would never last.

Thanks for the advice. I stopped taking the painkillers because I would rather deal with that than with feeling stopped up. I'm still sore and uncomfortable from the surgery. I guess my low white blood cell counts have something to do with that. It's getting closer to low normal, but all my blood work is very slow in getting back to where it should be.

[Jane]

I am waiting for the Roto-Rooter man. Never a good thing. Yesterday I found dirt all over the bathroom sink several times during the day. I always leave it clean. Apparently, when my neighbors use their bathroom sink the water is backing up into mine. Sigh. At least it isn't the Neanderthal Plumber who is coming.

So much for my plans for the day. Hopefully, he'll be done by noon and I can take care of an errand I wanted to get out of the way.

I hope the plumber fixed your problem.  I do have concerns about living below people.

[Jane]

I actually slept for a change but then the alarm woke me at 6:40.  I rarely set the alarm.  It was good I did or I would have missed my hiking group today.  We had a nice hike than 3 of us went out for coffee/hot chocolate.

[Jane]

Today is a pretty exciting day for Montreal soccer.  They are the first club from Canada in the Champions League finals.  There are going to be 60K+ fans here tonight at the stadium.  If they win or tie 0-0 they will win.  They are definitely the underdogs by a lot.

Good Luck to Montreal Soccer!

Ditto!

That's (optimistically) wonderful!!  Congrats, Dan!!

My very close (not varicose) friends who have all but officially adopted me since my Mom passed away in 2007, their Mom just passed away. I got to know her for almost 6 years, the time I've been here in Arizona, and she was quite remarkable for her 100 years, although there's no contemporaneous birth certificate.

Here's her obituary which is in the latest edition of the once-weekly local paper, The Parker Pioneer. I was surprised by being acknowledged by her family for my efforts in arranging a traditional priest to officiate a High Latin Funeral Mass for Mrs. McCabe. I just did it as my way to honor her life and memory since I knew that I could not be there in person. Parker is about 5 hours by car, on a good day, from Tucson.

I'm sorry for your loss, but what a nice obituary.  She seems to have had a good long life.

[Jane]

DR Jane.  Thanks.  Now I just need to figure out how to use the trimmers that are in my garage.  They came with the house.   I could pretty much trim with my old mower, but not with this one, so I'm going to have to learn,.

I have confidence in your skills.  If I'm wrong, guess you will need to purchase new trimmers

[Jane]

NIce, Jane, does the area near the water ever flood?

Not really.  I think about 5 years ago there was some flooding near the shore but no where near our condo.

[Jane]

We ran the show twice last night.....my first run through was better....by the second time it was about 11:15 p.m. when I went on for my big scene....and it was just TOO LATE....

We have our two performances on Thurs and Fri and then it is DONE.

~~~Early Break Legs Vibes for Jrand and Cast!!~~~

DITTO!

[Jane]

Not trying to be Debbie Downer, I just live in a place that has a lot of floods.

I think it is a reasonable question.  Anything could happen.

[Jane]

The view from our condo patio.

Very nice!

Thanks.

[Jane]

Very nice photo from DR JANE!  I can just imagine it in the evening with the moon and stars, too.

Thank you.  As for moon and stars, we are pretty spoiled here.  I can't imagine the sky there with the lights coming anywhere near what we experience here.  I won't complain if I'm wrong.

Very good!  May the final report confirm this and then we will all jump for joy!

When we were young and Keith was still in school and I was working full time, Keith part time, we had rather noisy college students living next door.  Age has nothing to do with being annoyed by rude people.

^^ THIS END UP ^^

ASK BK:

Have you heard the Sondheim song "Cheri" that was cut in favor of Ah! Paris!

I may have, but I don't remember.

[bk]

Had our short rehearsal and then had the postmortem meal with Sami, which was a lot of fun. 

[John G.]

Great news, Dan M.
