WOW!

We're about to start the tech... And they brought on the New Orleans living room set...

OK...

Time for me to head back up to the seventh floor.

Laters...

OK - But, again... Just in case... You know how to reach me.

*Be sure to get a take out container of rice pudding from Artie's sometime today.

Thank you, dear, for the generous offer and the reminder. That Artie's rice pudding cures anything!

DR Danise - WOW! That is one doozy of a bill. I still remember my one and only emergency room visit - just shy of $800, and they still didn't find out what was wrong with me?!?!?! -And that was about 10 years ago. I can't imagine what that would cost now.

*And the kicker was that since I was not admitted to the hospital overnight, my insurance did not cover the ER visit. -And if I had been admitted and stayed a couple of days, then they would have covered all but $80.

Insurance. Can’t live with it or without it.

I'm facing a bill that the insurance didn't pay because they said the doctor was out of network.

I'm going to raise cane about it when it arrives. What is the first thing that a doctors office asks when you call them? What insurance do you have and then they tell you they accept it or not.

I'm sorry that I was in la la land when this doctor (who I have a very vage memory of just standing by my bed) attended to me (doing what I have no idea) and I didn't have the presence of mind to ask if he accepted my insurance!

Surely he should have checked that before he entered the room!

I promise to at least try. I fell asleep in the easy chair yesterday afternoon and didn't wake up until about six PM.

No climbing trees
No home repairs
No mowing the lawn
No heavy lifting

Good grief, DR Elmore! Just got back from my errands and read of your mishap - take care, please.

Thank you all for the kind vibes! I'm really fine, just scratched and cut up. I didn't fall on my head, I didn't break a bone. At most I need a new lens for my glasses. I mostly embarassed myself publicly once again. Luckily, it's becoming second nature.

Matt's coming now - earlier than I thought - so better take a shower and we'll see how it goes.

Really Dear Elmore, it's those unexpected "trips" that hurt the worse. I still think you should have your doctor give you a once over to be sure everything is alright and I would bill the store for the expense.

TOD - My favorite painting is Mark Tobey's "Broadway Melody," which hangs in Museum of Art at The University of Michigan. Here's an image of his "Broadway, 1936," which somewhat resembles it:

Those paintings that look like someone just threw the paint and everyone thinks are wonderful just make me scratch my head.

I felt so sorry for that little boy that got is such trouble for putting gum on that painting a few weeks back. I told Mom that he didn't do it any harm--it didn't look like anything anyway. I really don't know what the big deal was.

I like a picture to at least look like something.

LOL!

Danise · « **Reply #103 on:** March 20, 2006, 10:44:37 AM »

Well, seriously about those paintings that look like someone just threw up on them. Do people like them because they are some kind of art or are they really to scared to say “That looks like crap!” for fear of not sounding sophisticated enough?

I’ve seen an elephant who could paint just as well (if not better!) then some of those kind of works.

I'm wondering when DR Jose will get around to writing a book about "this phase" of his life.

He can call it:

"My Right Foot...no..My Left Foot...No..it's My Right..No My Left...Foot!"

(I just did some catching up from yesterday's posts!

I love those elephant paintings!

Honestly!

I really like the kinds of paintings that are just splashes of colors (see the ones I posted above...if you can take your eyes off of Gordon Mitchell's muscles)...I also like watercolors. I am not much for realism in paintings, myself. But that is horseracing of course.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #107 on:** March 20, 2006, 10:48:24 AM »

Also, DR Jose....any seemingly "good group" becomes infinitely better when "pot lucks" come into play!

Well, if he's one of those kind of "artists", tell him to keep on rolling, honey. Maybe he'll at least generate some new kind of engery and produce something useful at last!

Hadn't thought about How To Write A Dirty Book and other stories as a title. I'd be worried that people would get the wrong idea, but it is sort of amusing.

I think that is a fun title. Probably the one that would get the most attention. But I agree, I think people might get the wrong idea.

Also I meant to say this yesterday, but I agree with some others who said they weren't thrilled with the "and other stories" part of the title.

My favorite painter of all time is Claude Monet...

Since the picture is so large, I am only going to post a link to one of my favorite paintings, The Poppies.

I also like Remington, Russell, Bodmer, Cassatt, and Dali.

I agree with you, Danise! I am such a disappiontment to DRs Kerry and MusicGuy, because I just don't get art.
