Larry, given that the elevator isn't working, is someone collecting trash or would that be too much to ask for?

Can the elevator be repaired?

The building management is accepting bids for a new elevator system, although I have no idea when the installation will begin.

My super is helping me get things to the basement.

Good and good.

My mother has reminded that when I was 3 or 4 or 5 years old, she and my Dad told me they were going to watch "Dial M for Murder," I asked "Who's Dolly Emphamurder?"

Back from a cup of chicken soup and a bagel - thankfully it wasn't too cold in there as it's not quite as hot today outside. I'm obviously in the phlegm breakup phase - huge amounts of guck coming out of my nose and throat - so I suppose that's a good thing.

A very good thing. It can be pretty gross...but good.

Yes, gross but good. I doubt then that you need a strong cough medicine with codeine. Try the Boiron's.

Not even sure if I'll have enough voice to do the short pre-curtain "this is a preview" speech. We shall see. I'm so tired of this and feeling this way. What a bore.

Just had a fine laugh - I get these e-mails from NYMF touting whatever the newest new musical is. This e-mail told me all about The Time Machine, a brand NEW musical. Never mind that I both met its songwriter and received the demos for this NEW musical back in 1998 (he moved here in 2000 and I attended his dueling piano bars at Universal's City Walk) - so at what point is there truth in advertising? At what point do you just admit, hey I have this twenty year-old musical and we're doing it? It happened the year we were at NYMF - one of the highly touted shows had had its first production in the late 1970s!

It's all hype. Any way to make it seem more important, they'll do it.

I caught one of the Doctor Blake mysteries last night, Craig Hall, who plays the kindly doctor in A Place To Call Home, has joined the series as the very unpleasant new police chief.

Ohh, I LIKE the doctor! I'll have to keep watching DR BLAKE now. I want to see him!

Yesterday, I spent over 90 minutes on the phone with Apple Care trying unsuccessfully to remove some spyware from my Mac. I can remove t via Malware, but when I restart my computer, it returns, and the Apple Support folk cannot find where this devil has taken rooty in my system to keep generating. I am not happy.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

~~~Vibes for Spyware Removal Success for Larry!!~~~

My car is in the shop today. And tomorrow. It turns out it did have a leak and needs a new fuel pump. I'd taken it yesterday to the independent mechanic I've been going to for several years now and we were planning for them to do the work. I then thought I'd better check the warranty. I doubted it'd still be covered, but I checked anyway. The warranty expired last March, but Audi has some sort of voluntary "recall" on the water pump and are taking care of it. I'd rather have the independent do the work, but it's an $800-900 job, so I'm letting Audi do it. I haven't had a lot of experience with Audi service, but I've come to loathe dealerships based on past experiences on other cars.

The dealership should have had plenty of experience doing the recall work. I hope it is done to your satisfaction and there aren't any hidden costs.

Thanks. I hope so, too.

Bruce, Boiron's Chestal cough syrup with HONEY is highly recommended by me. There are many products with similar names, as DR Jane found out. Be sure to buy the adult one and the one with HONEY.

Even if I had purchased the correct one it is still an expectorant:
"Temporarily relieves cough due to minor throat and bronchial irritation as may occur with a cold.
Helps loosen phlegm (mucus) and thin bronchial secretions to make coughs more productive."

When it didn't work I knew, from years of experience, only codeine was going to stop my serious cough. Bryan, the ER doctor said he never prescribes codeine. I can understand that, not knowing the patients or if they are just trying to get their fix. When he mentioned this I did laugh at the large bottle my prescription was for. I also found taking half the dose, and only at night, was the best way to use it. I used the Boiron's during the day.

I'm glad you were able to make use of the Boiron. I often use the approach of alternating products of the same type, especially pain relievers.

Jane · « **Reply #109 on:** June 28, 2017, 05:02:22 PM »

The pharmacist suggested I use it during the day for the expectorant. The codeine has the same expectorant in it so I couldn't combine them.

UPS finally arrived for the pick-up I've had to wait here all afternoon for. Since I couldn't do my grocery shopping today I'm treating myself to some Indian food (delivery). That'll give me dinner for the next few days. And it's good.

right. You'd have too much of it. It was a pharmacist who first told me about this approach. It's safer.
