I am awaiting The Furnace Man - my fan/blower began to sound like a wood chipper about 10:30 p.m. last night......

Jesus!  I just crashed and burned.  I missed getting Thatch into his carrier, he got away, and now he's hiding.  We may miss this appointment and I am livid.

I have two major events today: this morning I am taking Thatch to the vet for his yearly checkup and shots, and at 1:00 I'm doing a telephone interview for a radio show.


Can we listen online, DR elmore ?

I don't know when it will be broadcast.

I just had to cancel the appointment, and I am not happy about it.  We've rebooked for Saturday morning.

Elmore, I missed an appointment once.  Embarrassed and apologizing when I called to reschedule they were nice and said it happens fairly often.

Oy!

Always a risk/fear with cat vet appointments!

My vet recently implemented missed appointment charges and I have no idea how carrier escapees figure into that.

Oy! Sorry, DR Elmore.

They told me the same, but two years ago, when he was about 4 months old, I canceled two appointments one day and needed Val to help me catch him the next day for the appointment.  I was so angry at him I almost gave him back to the adoption agency.

Monday morning greetings!  We attended Rob and Mary Linda's church yesterday because it was their last Sunday here and there was a little reception for them after the service.  There were lots of hugs and some tears, but overall it was very nice.  And there was a fantastic sermon by the guest preacher - Fr. Richard!  We took them out to lunch afterwards and were brought up to speed on their schedule for this week.  Departure day is this coming Sunday and we're having a family send-off get-together here Saturday evening.

I'm up, I'm up - I'm not sure I've been asleep for even ten minutes due to this cough and clearing my throat constantly because of phlegm, which literally drives me crazy.  I took NyQuil, which did no good, which leads me to believe maybe it's past its expiry date.  Well, I'll bank and I'll bring home some chicken soup from Jerry's - otherwise, I'm going nowhere until five tomorrow.

Bittersweet.  At least they aren't moving too far from you.  How long is the drive?

Yes, it is, DR Jane.  The drive is only about 5-6 hours for us, so it could be worse.  And one of the things we learned yesterday is that there are 2 Ohio baby showers in the works that will bring them back here for a weekend, probably in April.

DR JANE I love my HP All In One, but the system stopped recognizing the CD Drive after about 11 months and nothing could be done short of wiping EVERYTHING away.....I opted just to buy an external drive.....other than that....it's been great.

I don't know what's wrong with these cats today.

CATS!

Who can understand anything they say?

Last night when I turned on the back yard light to see if the noise was coming from the Heat Pump.....a BEAUTIFUL cat ran up to the door.

Its head was almost all white except its ears were black.  When I opened the door, it ran away......  Its other colors were black and brown......on its back and legs....one or more white paws.....

I agree with most of Druxy’s choices, though Parasite could be a surprise winner for picture and director.

I would be shocked...SHOCKED if a foreign language film won Best Picture.

I would be, too, and I would happily welcome it.

Debra Paget's dance in that movie is something she NEVER talked about when she was on A Date With Dale [Evans] on the old TBN network.....

It's even more dramatic than her sister Lisa Gaye's dance in Rock Around the Clock - which is also the first movie in which a dancer is threatened with crucifixion for rocking and rolling...   :D

A question for Druxy:

Did you know Thurl Ravenscroft?
