DR TCB I hope you are able to meet Sharry for lunch as planned, and please say hello from me as well.

From George:
Quote
That's great for the women who live in more liberal states, but it won't be easy for everyone else who needs an abortion to go to another state to get one.  That can be an incredible hardship for just about everyone...especially low income women.

I haven't had the heart to follow all of the rules regarding this.  It seemed that some of the rules say you can't leave the state for an abortion expecting to not be prosecuted on your return.  I hope I am wrong about this.

The fence quote was just a B I T over what I thought, but still fine.  I am getting over 100 feet of nice vinyl picket fence with one gate.

And the old wooden fence will be taken down AND all debris taken away.....so ....  in the next 6-8 weeks.

Good news.

Phantom sounds:

I believe I have mentioned that I am occasionally awakened in the wee hours by a doorbell ringing, and sometimes a telephone.  The rings are always singular, so I lay there waiting to see if a second one will come.  They don't unless it's the real thing, which only once since I have been here has happened.

This morning, I was awakened by the sound of a chainsaw...the kind a yardman might use to trim shrubbery.  It was brief...maybe five seconds...and then it stopped.

My first thought was that my yardman, who has promised to stop by next week, might have had a cancellation and started this morning.  But when I checked the clock, it was 7 a.m.   And it did not start up again.

Whatever "this" is, I need it to stop.   

 :o  Vibes they stop!

Scan went well and I am hoping I DON'T hear from my doctor in the next couple of days.

Do you have a "my chart" where you can see the test results online?

I was wearing masks the entire time I was around people.

I hope wearing a mask protected you and you stay safe from covid.

There's a blood drive at the church today. I've never given blood, but I'm thinking of wandering over there and see if they can fit me in. I'm pretty terrified at the idea.

If you take any medications I suggest you go online and make sure they aren't on the list of meds that prevents you from giving blood.  All of my meds are ok, it is my blood that prevents me from donating.

They may turn me down because of the possible covid exposure.

For your protection, not sure if it matters with your blood.  Please let us know as I am curious.

From Ron:
Quote
It is -- apparently -- mating season for frogs and tree frogs.  There is a pine tree behind my house, and THE MOST GOSH-AWFUL noise emanates from it throughout the evening.

The frogs around the pond are also noisy, but they cannot compare to the tree frog.

Just be glad you don't have a Bullfrog, and yes, we had tree frogs.
Reminds me of a line Sylvia Sidney has at the end of You Only Live Once: “Tell Eddie I’m a bullfrog.”

;D

My question for ASK BK DAY:

Have you heard the rumor that CBS is demolishing Television City and moving its productions elsewhere?

Wednesday afternoon greetings!  After 2 days of fun with friends, I have a not-so-fun dental appointment today to have a crown removed, cavity addressed, and prep done for a replacement crown.  All in all, I'd rather be having lunch with friends.

Yesterday Richard and I attended the May meeting of my DAR chapter where the speaker was our friend Sam.  He gave a history of US military bands and talked about his experience in an Army band during the Vietnam Era.  As usual, he did a fabulous job.

DR John G, all I can tell you about Vance's victory yesterday is that there were NO good choices in that race.  Not that I saw that party's ballot when I voted...

And, in light of yesterday's Supreme Court news, our governor's race takes on even greater significance.

Good.  I personally prefer to read the results in the privacy of my home.  Plus, if there is a problem I can be prepared with questions to ask when receiving the news from the doctor.

Progress, I guess.

The pope is calling out the head of the Russian Orthodox Church and telling him not to be “Putin’s altar boy.”

Sounds like fighting words to me. Maybe they should take off their dresses and get in the wrestling ring.

Thanks, DR Jane.  I survived, but it was not fun and I’m a little wiped out.  Also numb.
