AmsterDog posted this photo of Scooter on his way to his new home. Like the proverbial fisherman, I will always regard Scooter as the one that got away. The timing was all wrong.

That's a very (bitter)sweet picture.

BK sighting! I walked in to my dining area and saw him on The Partridge Family on Antenna TV. I thought "he looks familiar."

Cool!

Good afternoon.

Druxy, did you see the question I asked about Thurl Ravenscroft the other day?

Laura · « **Reply #65 on:** March 21, 2019, 12:01:36 PM »

I made 38 dozen muffins before I ran out of vegetable oil.

One interesting thing I've found on the newspaper site in searching for something else circa 1955 - a touring cast at the Huntington Hartford of a play that had been done on Broadway five years earlier called The Man - a chilling, thrilling suspense drama. I looked it up - it starred Dorothy Gish and Richard Boone. Why a tour would happen five years later on a show that only ran 90 performances is anyone's guess - the tour starred Miss Billie Burke (that's exactly how she's billed) and Douglas Dick. I nosed around and found a published copy cheap so I'm getting it, and further research reveals that it was turned into a film called Beware My Lovely starring Ida Lupino and Robert Ryan.

And two weeks into the run Miss Billie Burke is gone and original star Dorothy Gish has taken over.

Ha! I told the lady in charge and she brought more oil. I guess I'm not done yet.

It is not my "perfect home," but I will probably look at it anyway.

Good luck.

Nice photo of Scooter. But what sort of vehicle are they in? Is it some sort of animal-friendly thing?

Jane · « **Reply #76 on:** March 21, 2019, 03:35:54 PM »

And always the same back to you DR Jeanne.

Jeanne · « **Reply #77 on:** March 21, 2019, 03:36:10 PM »

Oops, the photo didn't repeat. Don't know why it didn't.

Thanks, Jane.

Funny DR Jeanne that I didn't notice the back of the car until you mentioned it.

Jeanne · « **Reply #80 on:** March 21, 2019, 03:37:26 PM »

DR jan, DR Jane also lives in Washington state now, but she doesn't post late at night as much as TCB and George.

You were busy looking at Scooter.

I saw my doctor today for my annual physical. I like my doc, but I truly loathe the facility. Their offices are in a 3-year-old complex that is very hip--Whole Foods Market, lots of restaurants. When you drive into the parking garage from the street it is suddenly very dark. No lighting? Surely, that can't be. Then there's very little signage. The elevator is hidden behind a wall. There is now a small sign directing you to the elevator, but the first time I visited I could not find it and had to roam around and ask lots of people, most of whom didn't know. Truly a weird arrangement.

Jeanne · « **Reply #83 on:** March 21, 2019, 03:48:05 PM »

Once you find the medical offices the weirdness continues. There's a check-in area. God forbid we miss an opportunity for you to fill out legal forms. Then you go to a second waiting area. It's difficult to explain the decor. Lots of seating, yes. Also little bistro tables, with high chairs (not the infant variety). Since I'm sure they don't want you eating there, I really don't know what they are for. Was the designer used to designing restaurants?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #84 on:** March 21, 2019, 03:48:48 PM »

Find your own way.......glad you could locate the office DR JEANNE.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #85 on:** March 21, 2019, 03:49:14 PM »

DR CHAS SMITH is correct, a Whopper cannot be eaten neatly....many napkins are needed.

A nurse eventually arrives to take you to the exam room. Thankfully, it was a different exam room than the subzero room they used to use. I asked once why it was so cold in there. I was told that the technicians had tried to adjust the temperature, but couldn't get it right. (This is a new building.)

The nurses are always very young, in their twenties, and very brusque, never friendly or pleasant. It puts me off when the NURSE starts telling me what tests and procedures are recommended, because she is working from a very generic checklist, has never met me before, has no idea what ails me, and NEVER bothers (like most docs) to check my allergies. It's the one-size-fits-all approach to medicine and the opposite of what I feel health care should be. I told her "The doctor and I will discuss it." The doctor knows me, knows my history and preferences, and we get along well. Thankfully.

Jeanne · « **Reply #87 on:** March 21, 2019, 03:58:55 PM »

Did I mention that the entire facility is COLD? They could offer patients a blanket, but they don't. Then they tell you to take your clothes off. I wait until the last minute, knowing that if I request a blanket they won't have one available.

Jeanne · « **Reply #88 on:** March 21, 2019, 04:04:20 PM »

My doctor comes in and we're discussing my ailments and questions. All the exam rooms are equipped with motion detectors. If we're both sitting quietly, talking, the motion sensors don't pick up enough movement and the lights suddenly dim. I find this the height of unfriendliness. The motion detectors are located behind a privacy curtain, which is kept closed, so the dimming of the lights happens about three times each visit. Then one of us has to pull the curtain aside and wave a hand in front of the sensor so the lights will come back on. Have you ever heard of anything so stupid? A total misuse of technology!

Jeanne · « **Reply #89 on:** March 21, 2019, 04:08:24 PM »

Somehow the doctor and I get through both his list and mine, the nurse takes blood, the doctor sprays some skin thingies (ouch!), and then adjusts me. I ALWAYS feel rushed, always feel like I must talk fast to cover all the ground in the allotted slot. He's an osteopath and always adjusts me because I have scoliosis and always need it, but conventional medical practice doesn't take this into account.
