Congratulations, FJL!

Thanks so much, Jrand.

The only bad notoriety is no notoriety, or something like that.

That sounds like fun DR DRUXY.

i always loved the tv commercials for pens and pencils.....Parker Pens and there was another one, i think - Schaffers. Especially around Christmas time and Father's Day there would be full page ads in the big magazines.....

Okay, so, of course they also want SHIPOOPI and MARIAN. SHIPOOPI first, though, and I have till the weekend to give it to them. That shouldn't be too ridiculously hard to bang out.

I wonder why people don't ask for everything they need (and which you KNOW they're going to need) all at once. That's just weird.

Happy Birthday DR Edi.

The next sound you hear will be Clark Gable opening his refrigerator.

Of all the demons in hell to torment me! Ted Cruz sings show tunes.

I Enjoy Being A Girl.

And from the way he kisses the butts of the Christian evangelicals, I'd guess he also sings "I'm just a girl who cain't say no."

Can you guess that I detest Mr Cruz and his ugly father?

Question, maybe just for Bruce & Vixmom regarding the cost of dental work.

My friend's daughter in-law, due to a cancer treatment, needs all her teeth removed. Four implants will be done to hold the two bridges in place.

$50,000 seems unreasonably high to me.

I'm up, I'm up. I was up at six-thirty, fell asleep at seven-thirty, was up at eight-thirty, fell asleep, was up at nine-thirty, fell asleep, was up at ten-thirty, fell asleep and now I am UP.

Have gotten quite a bit of work done this week but am paying for it with "stress anxiety". I advised a couple of people this morning that I am experiencing this chest-tightening anxiety and that I plan to avoid, in the futre, the activities which have caused it.

People who don't meet deadlines for monthly reports are so overly dramatic at deadline time, and they get incensed when you suggest they need to learn to manage their time better, especially since reminders are sent to them weekly two weeks in advance of deadline.

I've done my last "extension". Next month (which I plan to be my last month on a specific report), the report will be done when I need it to be done WITHOUT worrying about folks who can't meet the deadline. Period.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

Yikes, DR Jane, that does sound like a lot of money!

But let me tell you a story about my Mom. Back in 2003 she was faced with a similar decision - having all her teeth removed and having implants to secure the dentures. I don't remember the dollar amount, but she felt she would not live long enough to "get her money's worth." She passed on the implants and has suffered now for 13 years with ill-fitting dentures. She no longer even wears them and, thus, has a pretty restricted diet.

Good for you! What will happen if it is late and you refuse to do it? Will they have to take care of it?

Good Afternoon

I've been to the dentist where I had half my mouth scaled and planed. Where they numb you and scrape and prod not only on the surface but below. It was rather painless and rather annoying, but it is what it is.

I really enjoyed the Andrew Lloyd Webber production "The Wizard of Oz" in San Jose last night. I'd seen it in 2013 in SF also. I just love how this production doesn't try and be the movie and in many respects finally gives us a real musical version of the show - not just putting the movie on stage - which is a reversal of trying to put a musical on the screen. It really feels like a musical.
