I gave up my tonsils at four years of age, my appendix at age eight, and my left wisdom teeth at around thirty. Still got the right ones and I’m planning on keeping them.

I got my tonsils out when I was about 26 years old. I'd heard some horror stories about adults getting them removed, but I really didn't have any trouble, at all...until I went out to eat with my family and I chose nachos.

I had my tonsils and a deviated septum - I made the doctor promise not to reshape my nose, but now I'm not sure I was right - taken care of when I was 29. DR Ginny brought me reading material: my first Stephen King book, The Shining; it scared the hell out of me. As soon as I was back on my feet I went to the library and picked up 'Salem's Lot.

My question for ASK BK DAY:

Have you seen the Alfred Hitchcock Show episode The Sorcerer's Apprentice with Mr Brandon deWilde?

I've seen 'em all, I think.

I'm up, I'm up - almost ten hours of sleep. I was up at ten but decided I needed the sleep.

I still have my tonsils, appendix, and my left wisdom teeth.

Well this afternoon while I was watching television I heard sirens and went to investigate.

Three fire trucks and many police cars were at the intersection of my street and a cul de sac across from my back yard.

The brick house on that corner was ablaze. I watched for a bit and more trucks and police arrived..... Someone left on a stretcher....

The house is occupied by an elderly lady - this coming from me - and her son.

I put a short video on Facebook. I do not think my elderly neighbor is still among the living.

Three hours later and there are still a lot of trucks and police cars there - investigating.....

This is sad. I went to FB and watched your video. I expected it to be a bit closer to your home and was glad it wasn't. It was close enough.

When I went to FB to find DR Jrand's fire video I found the story of a man hanging onto a window of his building which was on fire.

Jeanne & Bruce, did you see the story of the Barrington Plaza Apartments fire?

That fence is my backyard.....so it's across the street and diagnally from my house.....kind of like where Annette's house used to be from where MR BK lived.....

You normally have a nice view from your yard.

There was a fire a day or two ago and may have been that one. We smelled smoke and several of us were trying to figure how where it was coming from. So much depends on the wind. It smelled like it was practically next door.

Well my neighbor lady Opal perished in the fire.....her son is a special needs adult and sustained some burns - he is in the hospital.

AND now I am informed that Opal was the grandmother of the wife of the son of one of my cousins.....

The things you don't know......

Jane, regarding the article you posted a few days ago about the ban on plastic bags being counterproductive, I agree that more plastic bags are purchased when free bags are no longer given out, but since the ban I've seen far fewer plastic bags littering the streets and sidewalks, which is a good thing. People purchase the bags to contain their trash, but they aren't strewn carelessly. They're used for a purpose. The answer, of course, is biodegradable bags. Biodegradable plastic bags exist, but are much more expensive and I doubt that many people are using them.

I've been watching THE SILENCE, a British mini-series from 2010, where a deaf teenager witnesses a murder. It's quite good. Available on Acorn TV.

This article is dated today & it says the fire started this morning.

I hope her son will be cared for. It is interesting about the family connection. It might have been nice to know this sooner.

I did...for the first couple of days.

Then, everything seemed fine, so I made a choice that turned out not to be a smart one.

I admit our large plastic bags are not biodegradable. In fact I have never seen them for sale. I should look a bit closer. I ordered our biodegradable poop bags on line in bulk
