Good morning, all.

[ChasSmith]

Yesterday afternoon/evening was my breakthrough.  This cold had finally hit bottom yesterday morning and I could tell I was on my way up.  Then, instead of a solid sleep, I had an oddly toss and turn-y night ... but it was okay because I felt so damned good in comparison to the past four days. 

Let there be rejoicing throughout the land.

[ChasSmith]

To answer BK's question about Sambucol:   YES.

This was a weird one, though, being a "relapse" cold, and the few times I've had that happen, they're much rougher than normal. 

It'll be a few days before I can be really active, but it is wonderful being free of that sick feeling.

YES.....how could I have forgotten Half Price!!!!  Thanks for reminding me DR DRUXY.

You mentioned Island in the Sky yesterday.....one thing has always bothered me about that movie.....

The plane in trouble is flying with the pilots facing the left side of the screen.....and the rescue plane supposedly coming from the other way is ALSO flying with the pilots face the left side of the screen.....I always thought they should be facing the other way......

I think that's the movie I'm thinking of.....it could be THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY, but I don't think there was a rescue plane flying out to meet them.....

Jane,
 My old job use to close for bank holidays so we were off for MLK day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, etc as well as Good Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and we were given either Christmas Eve or New Years Eve off ( 1/2 the staff had to be in for one or the other so we would agree amongst ourselves who would take which day)

This job we work most bank holidays only off for July 4th, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Christmas  Day, New Years Day  Thanksgiving and the Friday after... He's been trying to take that Friday back but we have been standing strong .  This yearbecauseof Christmas and New Years falling on a Sunday we got the Monday's off. But that won't happen again for another 6 years now

Loosing all those days off should have been your first warning not to take this job  
Actually I would guess that all those days off is not the norm.

Vibes 2017 is the year you find a better job!!!!!!

[Jane]

Today I shall also go to the bank!  I got my $3 increase on my SS check which is most excellent

I don't believe I got a Social Security increase! I won't know for certain until my payment arrives in two more weeks.

You should have received a letter regarding an increase if you are receiving one.

[Jane]

DR Jrand I am glad you are feeling better.

[Jrand74]

DR DRUXY I watched Nick Adams in an episode of HONDO last night....they certainly put a LOT of makeup on him to make him an Apache....but he was a mean one....he killed David Nelson and roughed up David's wife.....Annette Funicello.

He ended up dead in the river......

[Jane]

Does anybody here watch THE AFFAIR.

I think it's one of the best shows currently on the air.

I have never watched it.  The subject doesn't interest me.  I am sure I miss lots of good shows for that reason.

Rejoicing here 😊

That was me.  I might be wrong but I believe the pilots were facing me on my right with co-pilots on my left.  The director,  and narrator,  William A Wellman was a pilot with the French Foreign Legion and again with the US Army Air Corps.  Later he taught combat fighting to new pilots.

Tuesday morning greetings!  My mismatched eyes are really bothering me today - Thursday morning can't come soon enough...

[Jane]

Coping vibes for DR Ginny!

Good morning, all.

[John G.]

First day back to work is a doozy. Too many meetings.

[John G.]

TOD:

Any used bookstore would qualify. These days, Half Price is probably at a the top of the list. Was there last night.

I used to love record shops of any sort but they're too corporate now and I don't keep up with music anymore.

[Matthew]

Good morning

[Matthew]

I'm here in my classroom trying to make heads or tails of pre-holiday madness.

[John G.]

Congratulations to BK.

Have fun!

I'm up, I'm up - definitely eight hours of sleep.

Does anybody here watch THE AFFAIR.

I don't watch it, but I've been recording it for my friend Margo.  She LOVES this show.  I've seen bits of it and it doesn't grab me.  But enjoy!

Congrats, ChasSmith!

DR JANE - you don't look anything like DR DRUXY!  How could I make such a mistake?

[John G.]

TOD:  Before it was so easy to buy online, my favorite was the huge Holiday lane at Macy's, which was always decorated to the hilt and not just for kids. 

Tiffany's on 57th and 5th was always wonderful as well, and they were very smart about positioning some gifts that you could buy in the $25 or $30 range here and there among the super-expensive things, so that regular customers didn't feel totally left out. (I gather there were areas of the store where people looking for the more exclusive stuff could avoid the "crowd" and have the high end stuff brought to them.)

Got my dad a silver pencil from the Tiffany's inChicago way back in the day. It was on one those displays. Wonder what happened to it.

[George]

Coping vibes for DR Ginny!

~~~Ditto!!~~~

Back at work today.

I have a sore throat.

And I've alternated between being too warm and too chilled.

This is the "third" week of a major cold.  I took one that manifested itself Sunday, Dec. 18.  It was a doozy of a head cold which promptly moved into my chest.  It's now lodged in my throat.  I have had a couple of shots and am on anti-biotics.

It just won't let go.  Lots of folks around me have gotten sick or been sick in my absence.

This is NOT pretty.

[Laura]

Please send vibes for DR Kerry, who is ill in the hospital. I am leaving soon to go see him.

[bk]

Futzed and finessed yesterday's writing.  Made a lot of little adjustments and changes and additions and then wrote another page-and-a-half.  Tree people are outside and are making so much noise I just have to take a break until they're done.  So, I'll eat some tuna pasta salad right now, and hopefully the cacophony will be done soon.

[John G.]

What's Kerry in for, Laura? And yes, many vibes.
