Continued proofing vibes for MR BK and his new character even though I don't think that there is such a thing as a sentence that is too long because sometimes it takes a lot of words to completely say what you want to say and breaking it up by punctuation will make it unclear and be antithetical to what the author is trying to accomplish with the sentence so it's best to leave it alone if you can and I think you should.

The ONLY time I break up a long sentence is when I've switched to a separate subject and it becomes clearer when breaking it in two. Otherwise, I always leave them the way I wrote them.

I'm up, I'm up - eight and a half hours of sleep.

  New project. The other one just sits like so much fish due to the WGA strike.

Of course. I hadn't considered that.

On This Day in 1869, Troy NY resident and inventor Cornelius Hackl Swartwout was awarded a patent for his invention of the waffle iron.

Theater Camp arrives on streaming platforms September 14th.

~~~SURGERY VIBES~~~ for Shelly, the friend of DR George!!!!!!!

Thanks, Singdaw!

[Matthew]

DR Matthew, I am thinking the correct answer is "both."

Absolutely.  There really is no correct answer.  It all comes down to what you believe in.

[George]

Sorry about your mixer, George.

Thanks, John.  I don't know which kind I'm going to replace it with, but at least I don't need to right away.

[George]

Anyway vibes for Donna and Shelly friends of friends of HHW.

Thanks, Jrand!

Theater Camp arrives on streaming platforms September 14th.

That's great because it didn't land in any movie theatre in my area - I had to go to SF or down to Mountain View.  I'm just not up for traveling that far for a movie. 

[George]

Gratuitous Post #100!!

[George]

Sorry, DR George.

It sounds like sprockets are on the docket.

Yup.  It was bound to happen...eventually.

[George]

But look at the bright side: now you get to shop for a new mixer!

I know!  I have seen a few over the years that are much spiffier (and hopefully, more durable) than the one that broke.

[George]

But I also don't want to spend $100 on a hand mixer! 

[George]

I've seen some that expensive and more!

[George]

Here's one guy's summary of last night's debate:

[George]

DR George I have had that happen with hand mixers.

Darn...I figured that it happens to inexpensive models.

[George]

Of course it always happens in the middle of using it.

Of course!

Vibes for Shelky aka Shelly.

Thanks, Jane!  And SPOO!  I didn't even notice that I'd made that typo!  Dopey me!

[George]

I liked the dramatic photographs of the Great Mixer Debacle!

Thanks, Jrand.

[George]

Vibes for Donna and Shelley.

Thanks, Laura!

[Jane]

The conversation was lively.

I'm glad you had a nice time.

[Jane]

Vibes for Shelky aka Shelly.

Thanks, Jane!  And SPOO!  I didn't even notice that I'd made that typo!  Dopey me!

  We all make typos.  I thought Shelky was a cut nickname at first.

I don't know how often you use a mixer, George, but I recently informed my DH that when the day comes that I have worn out Kerry's Kitchen-Aid stand mixer, I'll be spending a few hundred dollars to replace it.

I have a feeling I bake more often than you do, though.

[Laura]

This morning I had lab work done in preparation for my annual checkup next week. I'm amazed that the results come in so fast these days. My DH's last results came in the same day.

[Jane]

I got my shingles shots a few years ago. I asked about it when I got my tetanus/diphtheria/whooping cough shot. (Grandparents are supposed to get it for the whooping cough portion so we don't accidentally infect the newborns.)

There was a shortage of shingles shots, because it was so new. I began asking about it in August  (when I got the aforementioned shot), and I couldn't find one until April. 

Vixmom, you'll probably feel crappy. You probably do already. But it won't last. I thought it was worse than the covid shot. The second one didn't bother me, though.

There's a new shot out for RSV, which old people should get. I expect I'll get it next month. If you'll be around newborns and small children, you should get it to keep from infecting them.

We are deciding when to get the RSV, before we see Freyja or after.

[Jane]

Sorry DR Vixmom, but I wish you had gotten the pneumonia vaccination instead of the flu, not that I ever get two at the same time.  We only get the flu vaccination this early if we have travel plans, otherwise we wait until the end of September.  The CDC recommends getting it in September or October.

[Jane]

This morning I had lab work done in preparation for my annual checkup next week. I'm amazed that the results come in so fast these days. My DH's last results came in the same day.

I love the ease of getting results quickly these days.

After our experience with the dermatologist that didn't have online accounts, we will check from now on before booking with a new doctor.

I don't know how often you use a mixer, George, but I recently informed my DH that when the day comes that I have worn out Kerry's Kitchen-Aid stand mixer, I'll be spending a few hundred dollars to replace it.

Yes, I rarely have used my hand mixer.  A Kitchen Aid mixer, as cool as it would be, is just too much mixer for me.
