My thermostat is now working.....Robin Williams the technician showed me how to reset the thing and also told me that it is powered by the system itself and didn't need to have batteries inside it.

The batteries are only there in case of power failure.....your system settings will stay set.

So I learned something.  And it was $59......BUT knowledge is power!


Great news that it's working!

Today is the birthday of my high school friend, and DR Ginny's husband, Richard. Eleven years ago we had this wonderful birthday celebration at the late, great Arties.



Great picture, and a Very Happy Birthday to DH Richard!! :D

Today is preparation day.

Have done my first drop in the "operative eye".

I find I have to acquire some grape or cranberry juice.  As a diabetic, I take half a daily insulin dose tonight and drink 8 ounces of one of those two juices two hours before my 9:35 a.m. procedure.

Otherwise, that's it.  Dress comfortably; leave all valuables at home.

The birthday dinner and meetup at Artie's is a wonderful eleven-year anniversary this week.

There's also a ten-year anniversary this very week:  the Kritzerland Richard Sherman fest at Triad in NYC.  Click to enlarge.



Another great picture!

DR RON PULLIAM I buy the Healthy Choice Cranberry Juice at Dollar (25) Tree.

It is very low cal and low carb - and it comes in many flavors.

My mom buys that all the time, but it's not real juice, only flavored water.  If you need the benefits of the juice, you gotta get the real stuff. :-\

We had our six month check at the dermatologist this morning. 

I went in with a long list of spots I was concerned about, or wanted removed as they bothered me. I was sprayed close to twenty times-ouch.  A number of the spots, including the one on my nose, were pre-cancerous so I am very glad I caught them early. She also found a few pre-cancerous ones I had not noticed.

We are supposed to have rain all night.

It hasn't started here yet.

It has been raining here since yesterday evening.

Here, it's been raining off and on, and right now it's kinda windy.

Nov. 22 is when Wicked opens. Hmmm.  I guess if I want to be in a theater with other people I would go.

Ladies and Germs, an announcement:

I just got excused from tonight's rehearsal!!!  :)

The director needs to put one gal, who had to be away the past two nights, into all the dialogue. So they're going to work on that exclusively. That, and a few dance things that they already know all the "counts" for and can work on without me pounding on the ivories plastics.

Wednesday evening greetings!

Today is the birthday of my high school friend, and DR Ginny's husband, Richard. Eleven years ago we had this wonderful birthday celebration at the late, great Arties.

It is, indeed, Richard’s birthday.  We celebrated with an appointment with our financial advisor and lunch at Bullwinkle’s in Miamisburg (Dayton ‘burb). 

Thank you DR Elmore for posting this great memory!

DR JANE I probably would have found it online if I had kept looking - but I was taking the entire cover of the thermostat off.....I didn't know how to remove just the battery cover where the batteries and reset button are located.

I'm kinda liking the music/songs from MAYBE HAPPY ENDING that opened on Broadway last night.

We visited NYC at this time of year in 2013, 2014, and 2015, and the first 2 trips included Richard’s birthday.  I really miss those times, but I’m not sure either one of us has the stamina for New York anymore.

Here's an Amazon first: I needed dishwashing detergent, so on Nov. 3 I ordered a pack of 3 bottles for $15.oo from Amazon, as I usually do, on Nov. 3. Usually, it arrives in 2-3 days. Only this time, I was told it would arriver by Nov. 11, eight days later. I thought, well, I've got enough to last by then. Then . . . Amazon changed the arrival date today, and last night  the remaining I had.

This morning I checked my order: due to arrive today by 10:00. I couldn't figure out why a UPS carton shipped on Nov. 3 - according to tracking number - took ten days to arrive.

Just now, I got anm ermail from Amazon saying the carton would not arrive until Nov. 19! I called amazon customer service, told them to refund my money, and blow the fucking order out their ass.
