I think we should all send DR CHAS SMITH a message on Twitter - at the same time.....he has too much time on his hands today.

I ordered a nice plant to be delivered for Rick's viewing tomorrow - which I plan to attend of course..... $95!

I can't stand to watch or even listen to most commercials these days. I keep the remote(s) close at hand so I can either mute or fast-forward through them.

There are a few that I actually enjoy, but I'm blank on all but one of them: As horrible as the Liberty Mutual ones are, I loved the "Bad Actor" one. I thought it was well written, acted, and edited. BUT...only the original full length version. Once they began showing it in shorter time slots at a half or third of its original length, they killed it.

So what the HELL are the others? I'm thinking there was one (and only one) Geico commercial I thought was very funny, but it's gone from my poor brain at the moment.

When I was a twig, I enjoyed the Anacin commercials:

"Don't you think it needs a little salt?"
"Mother, please, I'd rather do it myself!"

"Cathy, can't you keep the kids' bicycles OUT of the DRIVEWAY!"

I liked the Hawaiian Punch guy - and the toy commercials....especially the songs - like the game from Remco Fascination - sung to the tune of Alouette.....

All of today's medicine commercials and insurance commercials are a bit much......although I do like Flo and her crew - to a point.

My teeth are set on edge when I hear the chorus sing about "LiberDEE Mutual".....the way some folks sing "Beau-DEE and the Beast"......

Political ads are a whole other animal, but those will be gone soon!

My all time favorite is this one - featuring the music of Paul Revere & The Raiders!

Another @#(%*&@ BUST!

Yes, you heard me. My blood pressure was too high and they wouldn't do the surgery.

My BP was 116 over 70 when I left the house. I took a 5mg diazepam one-half hour before my scheduled surgery.

I was CHILL. They settled me in, put on the electrodes for heart monitoring, and inserted the IV for the meds that would knock me out. They started those meds to further relax me. I was feeling nothing but good will toward all mankind.

And, apparently, my first reading was good, but subsequent readings got higher and higher. I cannot fathom it. They could have amputated a leg and I would have been none the wiser.

I go back on Tuesday morning to calibrate my sphygmomanometer cuff with their machine.

SIGH!
