Ah, well. That last one posted quickly.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #61 on:** November 02, 2022, 12:56:18 PM »

Did I do that?

Did I start page 3?

Am washing clothes right now.

I do need to get out and buy a Powerball ticket...just because.

Wednesday TV is a bit of a drag!

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #64 on:** November 02, 2022, 12:58:54 PM »

And this region of South Carolina is also something of a drag on Wednesday afternoons. MOST businesses close at Noon if they open at all. That's because they are open on Saturdays and only want five-day work weeks.

It has been going on like that here for as long as I have been alive.

I'm up, I'm up - nine and a half hours of sleep with only a thirty minute interlude around four o'clock.

CDs are either ready now or will be in the morning - can't tell from the email.

DR Vixmom I missed the details. Was Bill's surgery a repair or a replacement?

I was a repair. They had to put a rod in his leg bone

The rod won't be fun. At least they could repair it.

Please forgive me if I've missed vibes, I've been somewhat preoccupied

Understandable. I hope the distance between you, Bill's home, and the hospital isn't too great.

Of course, right after posting the notes and changing the topic, I was about to make ninety posts when Spectrum went down. I called and the recording said no outage, so I got a nice gal on the phone and asked her not to tell me it was on me - and she didn't - scheduled all-night maintenance. I asked her why there is no advance notice and she said there was - but I've never gotten one, so she did whatever she did and now I will. When I was up at four, it was back on.

Bill also asked me to send his thanks for all the vibes

Please tell him once he is up to it, we would love to see a post or two from him letting us know how he is doing.

I do wonder what's going to become of all these children that grew up in isolation during their formative years during the pandemic. Not to mention the negative effect of social media on persons just starting to establish their sense of self-worth. I think society is in for a heap of trouble (more than it is already).

Craig doesn't even want to talk about how far behind his students are this year. Extra sad for him is that he likes all of them.

If others are having to wait as long as i have waited for the previous post to actually "post", it may have something to do with the dearth of posts.

I often have that problem, but not today so far.

Growing up doctors traditionally took Wednesday afternoons off and worked Saturday mornings.

In the summer my father often took me to one of the two children's amusement park near us on Wednesday afternoons.

I always waited in anticipation of his "early" arrival, always aware he might have to stay longer at work or have an emergency.

Jane · « **Reply #78 on:** November 02, 2022, 01:15:23 PM »

Back then doctors still made home visits or met their patients at the hospital.

So much has changed. So much. And not always for the better.

I never met a gluten I didn't like.

Or a starch, for that matter.

Not sure it has the same ring. But if you say so.

A starch in time saves nine.

My email tells me that Martha Steward is celebrating Thanksgiving with apple cider bourbon sours.
