Title: Re: SLEEPLESS IN STUDIO CITY
Post by: ChasSmith on December 04, 2014, 04:18:10 AM: I got my iPad last night and it's a fine thing. Got a few things set up (the people at the store gave me a few pointers, since this is my first foray into the world of Apple), and later began figuring out a few more things on my own. But I think I'll go over and take one of their morning classes for beginners and hopefully pick up some more pointers. I downloaded the music-reading app "forScore", a godsend for reading PDF scores.
Title: Re: SLEEPLESS IN STUDIO CITY
Post by: ChasSmith on December 04, 2014, 04:32:48 AM: I wish I'd been able to read BK's words about LOS ANGELES PLAYS ITSELF before I made the purchase and spent the hours watching it a few weeks ago. I'd never seen it, but its legend precedes it (oh, how it precedes it; just ask me how it precedes it and I will tell you how it precedes it), and I had been led to believe it was not to be missed. Now, as I think about it, I realize that none of those who led me to believe such a thing had ever lived in L.A.

For a while I enjoyed the clips and was amused at a few of the connections he was making...though I'd be hard put to tell you now what any of them were. But it started to get old, and the guy clearly wasn't approaching the subject from a viewpoint that made much sense to me. At the halfway point I took a break and looked forward to at least seeing some as yet unexplored clips in the second part. But whoo boy, does it then proceed to jump the shark. What a sad waste of opportunity, and what a sad misrepresentation on so many people's part in how this thing has been hyped over the years.

Incidentally, I chose "Running Wild" as the background music because it certainly is indicative of the time and place.

Got home just in time to have lunch with Richard. I've now packed away the Thanksgiving decorations and put up the first 2 for Christmas. Not really in the mood, but it has to be done.

Title: Re: SLEEPLESS IN STUDIO CITY
Post by: Ron Pulliam on December 04, 2014, 02:12:12 PM: Monday was a strained day as it was the first day back to work after having the complete Thanksgiving week off.

I was faced with the knowledge I would be out of the office Tuesday afternoon and all day Wednesday when I suddenly realized I had a monthly report to get done in time for a meeting tomorrow (Friday) morning. Worked hard on it all day and finished it Tuesday morning.

Tuesday afternoon was the beginning of prep for my very first colonoscopy!

Yes, after 16 years of "maybe some other time", I finally took the plunge and scheduled a colonoscopy. The Gavilyte crap is putrid. Make no mistake, it's nausea-inducing.

My appointment was yesterday afternoon. All went well. I was "awake" for most of it and watched with fascination that which I had thought I'd view with horror.

However, the sedation (two different drugs to accomplish both relaxation and drowsiness) rendered moot any qualms I may have had about watching the monitor. My colon was nearly pristine. "Nearly" being the operative word.

There were three polyps that were snipped, and I won't know the diagnosis of those for a couple of weeks. But...it didn't take as long as it took me to down my first three glasses of Gavilyte.

Back at work today...still just "a bit" sedated...mostly chill and relaxed.

I had made a New Year's Resolution to have a colonoscopy this year. DONE!

Post by: bk on December 04, 2014, 05:21:41 PM: One person on Facebook (and I'm sure she's not alone) has posted "if you're going to tweet that you hate Peter Pan unfriend me now." What is wrong with people on Facebook? It's like they lose their sanity. It's like their twelve years old. So, no one can post or tweet that they don't like a show and not be this person's friend? It's unbelievable. Do you think she'd have the chutzpah to say that to anyone's face - any friend of hers? Because she'd look like a first-class idiot. I'm tempted to unfriend her just for the hell of it.

Yes.

Many doctors don't use it because it doesn't work as well. After my reaction to the last stuff my doctor said I was ok to use it.
Title: Re: SLEEPLESS IN STUDIO CITY
Post by: bk on December 04, 2014, 05:34:04 PM: Found the recipe in our Unseemly Archive:

UNSEEMLY WACKY NOODLES

1 12oz. bag of wide egg noodles, mostaciolli or bow tie pasta (your choice).

Boil them noodles.

Drain them noodles and put 'em back in the pot and put the pot back on the stove and put the flame on low.

To the noodles add the following:

One can cream of mushroom soup
Fill the empty soup can with milk and add that.
Add as much dried minced onion as you like (the kind you find in the seasoning section of your market)
Add salt and pepper
Add two tablespoons or a bit more of ketchup (don't be scared, you must trust me - this is basically for color and it adds just the right flavor ultimately)
Mix it all together whilst singing Beat Me Daddy Eight to the Bar
When it is heated through and through add five to eight ounces of sour cream (depending on your waist size) and mix again thoroughly and heat on low until hot, stirring constantly. Serve (will probably need extra salt as you serve).

Now, I know it sounds wacky, because, after all, they are Wacky Noodles, but they are delicious, kind of like stroganoff without meat. Give it a try, you'll like it for sure.

Congratulations, DR RonPulliam. I hope you get good results back.

They gave me something different, which was very easy to take and had no flavor at all. Didn't make me sick or anything.

Is that Miralax?

The vet has me sprinkle Miralax on the cats food now and then

No, I buy it at the grocery store. It's the people version. My vet said 1 teaspoon, but I think that's way too much, I just sprinkle and it does what it's supposed to do
