I received a note from my doctor's nurse telling me an MRI request was submitted May 19 and that I should be getting a call to schedule any day now.

[Ron Pulliam]

Good sleep last night.  Pleasant enough dreams, some of which had former co-workers in them.  One of them brought me a sandwich...an onion and tomato sandwich...which she had been given at her previous meeting and which she indicated she couldn't eat because of the onion.   As I had already eaten lunch, I thanked her and the sandwich went away.

[Ron Pulliam]

I have never eaten an onion and tomato sandwich.  Not on my bucket list, either.

[Ron Pulliam]

What shall I do with today?

I may get a haircut.

Good morning!

Cool!  I hope it also gets a new recording.

An onion and tomato sandwich sounds wonderful. With a pinch of really good salt and either mayo or olive oil on really crusty bread. Of course, I might add olives, feta, whatever to make a Greek salad sandwich.

[ChasSmith]

The one (Vidalia) onion and tomato salad I ever had at a restaurant (in the Atlanta area) was incredible. I sometimes try to recreate it at home, to varying degrees of success. This had to be 20 years ago, and I don't know the name of the restaurant, but it was a good steakhouse kind of place and I'm sure that kind of salad is very common there.

I also remember when I was around high school age, my mother introduced me to something she liked to make for herself:  an onion sandwich -- just a slice of onion on buttered white bread with salt and pepper -- and I loved it. Haven't had one in years, but now that I'm thinking about it...

Anyhoo... the above two paragraphs should, I hope, amply demonstrate that in the future, all unwanted onion and tomato sandwiches should be put in a cooler and air-freighted, posthaste, to the following address...

I've never quite warmed up to feta, but the olives and their wonderful oil and all the rest, man -- bring it on.

I was thinking butter and onion. Kind of like a tea sandwich. Yum.

I love the idea of a Greek version of the sandwich.  I love Feta Cheese.  I blame my 6 months living in Athens in the 1970s. 

[John G.]

I hot the cucumber, feta, onion and feta here. No bread. No tomatoes.

[John G.]

And I got the olives.

I might like an onion and tomato sandwich if it had a hamburger patty on it.

Add a nice slice of cheese and I'll have one of those, too.

From DR Jeanne:

The bottle takes a little getting used to. But the drops seem more effective than some of the others, maybe because they are thick. Often there isn't enough in the singles for one dose, given my aim. The Refresh Relieva are cheaper, too.

Funny as it is with the Relieva bottle that I miss my eye.  I am getting better at it.

From Jeanne:

I think Brian explained to her the kinds of things I want done. I don't pay extra for "deep cleaning." I think that's bull. It's all ordinary cleaning. I've done it all myself and it really isn't any different. I do take into account that some tasks require heavy lifting and many women aren't able to do them. I pay well, but expect a good job. I'm not interested in whining or the "I'm a professional. I know what needs to be done" attitude. I pay by the hour, which I feel is an honest approach. Some cleaners want to see the place first, then say how much they'll charge. Nope. That makes no sense since they don't know what I want done. I've used many cleaners over the years and few are really good. I also know the games they play. I don't want the games, just honest work. You can see why it's so hard for me to find someone.

Yes, apparently this is the old fashioned way.  As for "professionals", there are classes they take.  From what I can tell that means learning how to use a feather duster instead of a damp dust rag.  And forget using oil on the wood.  As for charging extra.  It is that they want to do their basic cleaning, which is in the time frame expected for the work, and anything else is additional. 

I hope it works out well with Brian's mother.

From Jeanne:

WWII is cheerier than the contemporary US? If the film and fiction covering that period is any indication I think people coped better then than many do today. I've always found strength in reading (or viewing) WWII stories. They went through so much!

I agree.

[Jane]

My left hand is better....about 60%, I would say.

Continued healing vibes.

Ray Liotta has died.

This is sad and only 67. 

[John G.]

I first saw Liotta on Another World. Can’t remember what character he played.

[John G.]

The character was Joey Perrini, but I don’t recall the storyline.

[Jane]

I just read a story of a 28-year-old woman with a rare condition called maple syrup urine disease.  She cannot metabolize protein and needs a special metabolic-formula made by Abbott.  Within 24 to 48 hours without her formula her brain will start swelling and deteriorating causing her to fall into a coma and likely die.

Understandably she is scared, for herself and her friends with this condition.  They are all frustrated there hasn't been any news coverage about this, and little information from the FDA.

I received two sets of covid test kits in the mail today. Odd because I only ordered one.
