It doesn't make sense that you couldn't get the test today when the surgery was scheduled for tomorrow.

From DR George:

Quote
Tomorrow, I have an appointment at 11:35 a.m., to get my car window replaced at the dealer.  Earlier tonight, I taped a garbage bag to my open window and HOPEFULLY it'll stay on while I'm driving.

Good luck.  I hope you don't have to drive far as it is cold out there.

The Mississippi River is just beyond the furthest cope of trees. But quite far down.

Still not too far away.  It sounds lovely.

DR VIXMOM thanks so much for the Air Fryer ideas yesterday.  I have copied them down.

In a few minutes I shall make my lunch hot dogs in the new machine.

I have tried once again to vote in the BWW competition and once again that site froze my computer - I can't get it to work. 

Today I didn't even get past the first page where I voted for A Doll's House Part 2 over You Can't Take It With You and C*ck.

Competitive people get on my last nerve.  I understand wanting to win - I used to play some sports and of course there are card games and board games.....but it takes so much of the FUN out of activities.

As for theeder - talent will take you where you need to go.  Concentrate on your own self - then of course there is the dichotomy of competition and ambition.....someone should write a book.

DR ELMORE your dream indicates that you are in melancholy mood but that can be helped by joining in rather than holding back in things around you - it also cautions that you can make a better impression of yourself on others if you wish by expressing yourself honestly in every situation.

DR JOHN G - the mind reels at the couplets that Mr Cole Porter wrote for his own amusement and for those in his close circle for You're The Top!

That is good, DR Jrand72. You are almost tempting me to take the plunge. However, kitchen real estate is scarce.

I like Irving Berlin’s best. At least the version oft attributed to him.

You’re the top
You’re King Kong’s penis …

Then there was Noel Coward’s take on Weren’t We Fools.

Porter’s original: You chose another, so did I.

Coward’s rewrite: You chose your brother, so did I.
