MEGA DENTAL VIBES to DR jan!

I concur with the recommendation to have someone drive you. In fact, I suspect that the oral surgeon's office may require it.

I finally settled on a new pair of glasses.

WHAT?!! You're giving up the while shades?!

I usually find it difficult to decide on a pair of glasses. You would think it would be easier since my selection is limited since I need a small frame.

A friend who also needs a small frame says that she finds a good selection at JC Penneys. I think she shops their children's section. She's not as small as you, either; in fact, she's not a small person. She just needs a small frame.

I hope that Vixmom's doctor visit went well.

I'd love to see the revue. Bruce, is there no plan for a longer run? Apart from the recent brouhaha.

Now that is an interesting word!

Yesterday's TOD:

My favorite revenge film is BEING JULIA. Many of the films listed as revenge films don't appeal to me. I'm not looking for violence, I'm looking for clever manipulation of events.

Well, I need to be leaving. My sister's boyfriend is coming over to my place to show me how to make Blu-ray discs from programs that I've recorded onto my DVR! He's made me Blu-rays of several PBS operas and TCM movies, all of which have not been released on any home format.

Just finished Widows, which was a great character study of people under pressure. Robert Duvall plays racist pigs with a little too much ease.

I could see the big plot twist coming. Didn't affect my enjoyment of the movie at all.

George · « **Reply #102 on:** May 08, 2019, 06:54:52 PM »

There are only some channels where this will work, though. Certainly pay channels like HBO or Showtime can't be captured the way he does it, but TCM and PBS (which are the main channels that I want programs from) work really well.

Be back later!

Now I'm watching Lisbon, which we've read a bit about in these pages recently.

I will say that the view from the castle on the mountaintop looks very much the same 60+ years after the movie was made.

I switched HMOs a year and a half ago. I'm now with United Healthcare Secure Horizons. One of the benefits is for transportation to and from medical appointments. I love this! The first year I had Medicare I had the benefit, but didn't need it. The year I had eye surgery I didn't have it and really needed it. Getting around LA in cabs and buses isn't easy to start with and not being able to see properly really adds to the difficulty. I am so glad to have the benefit again. I need it for eye exams, as I cannot drive dilated. (Some people can, amazingly.) But it's also needed for situations like DR jan's, where they may have to knock you out.

Time for dinner.

TTFN.

John G. · « **Reply #106 on:** May 08, 2019, 07:30:41 PM »

Dinner was quite nice. I had carne asada (a thin steak) with plenty of nopales, rice and beans and corn tortillas. The house salsas included a habanero that was really fruity and hot, too hot for the waitress (but not too hot for me).

Back from the neighbor’s deck - where I enjoyed two (2) delicious hamburgers washed down with about a week’s worth of Mint Juleps.

Thank you all for your vibes, I think I'm gonna need 'em. I called the oral surgeon's office and they will not be knocking me out, just local anesthesia. Freaking out after yesterday's 3 hour appointment that was not successful.

I have purchased a number of children's frames. The problem is they don't have all that much room for progressives lenses.

Currently I have is a small round frame I found in the men's section

Jane · « **Reply #111 on:** May 08, 2019, 08:05:36 PM »

DR Jan when is your appointment? I don't think you need to be knocked out, just the local and possibly a pain pill before and after. You will feel the pressure but not any pain during the procedure.

Three hours is a long time. How long did the surgeon say it will take?

Read about 50 pages in The Lost Prince, which is about Pat Conroy. I had to stop. Too depressing. Mental illness isn’t pretty.

Im less than 50 pages from the end.

I hadn't heard of this. I loved Conroy's PRINCE OF TIDES. My brother told me to read it as it really hit home for us.

I met Conroy for a split second as he walked through the newsroom in Florida. I hadn’t read anything of his then, but I’ve since read it all. I enjoy his work very much. He seems to have had his demons, which The Lost Prince goes into. It’s a fascinating tale of friendship among writers and families.
