How come nobody likes The Emperor Waltz? Bing Crosby and Billy Wilder. It’s like an acid trip without the acid.

Nothing against THE EMPEROR WALTZ.

It's just not in the same league as THE APARTMENT, SUNSET BLVD. and several others.

Well, this has been one of my most horrible days in some time! To begin my appointment was for tomorrow! The nice young lady who admitted me checked the schedule and I was seen at 9:30 today. The entire ultrasound experience was one of the most exposed, uncomfortable, and embarrassing during which the technician kept moving my legs in more an d more uncomfortable positions. When it was over, my legs were in such pain I could barely stand or walk.

I'll do it because I don't want to wait until August to have my dental appointment, which would be eight months since my last appointment, instead of the normal six months.

Booking our next 6 month appointment turned into 7 months. It is a bit more complicated booking for us as we do our appointments at the same time, still I think they are still playing catch up.

I then stood outside the building at Broadway and 57th Street, one of the busiest traffic places in the City, waiting for over 20 minutes for a taxi. After that I had no problems getting to the post office or getting home. I'm going to lie down with the cats for a long time today.

Billy Wilder
Double Indemnity
Sunset Boulevard
Seven Year Itch
Witness for the Prosecution
The Apartment
Some Like It Hot

Ditto to all of these except Double Indemnity, because I've never seen it.

I just got to work after my 8:00 A-in-the-freakin'-M dental appointment.

My dental hygienist wants me to come back in four months because I've had some excessive tartar build-up and in a way that hasn't happened in a long time. I got a rinse that I need to use for a week (and no more!) that should help. Hopefully, I won't need to get the deep cleaning. I've actually had that done once before. Because of the numbing gel, it wasn't horrible.

George · « **Reply #40 on:** June 25, 2020, 09:39:55 AM »

So, it was a good thing that I was able to get this 8:00 am (ugh!) appointment now instead of having to wait until August for the rescheduled appointment!

Kitty cleanup is over. I walked into the bathroom to find that a climbing Stella had brought down a large box of bandaids, torn up the box and left the bandaids all over the rug. She's living on borrowed time.

My dental plan allows two appointments within a calendar year, so if/when I need one earlier than usual, I can get one without any trouble (unless they were in January, then June, and then October is needed). So now, my next appointment is in October instead of December. If everything is okay then, the next appointment will be some time in April, then October again.

I would be tempted to say all if it weren't for KISS ME, STUPID.

So I will say:

I hope DR GINNY is enjoying her computer outings.

MR BK is listening to so much classical music, he may turn into a highbrow eyebrow.

I've done that, use Manwich and add some things. Peppers, onions, and even some garlic.

Never thought about having it on a tortilla. The cheese, though -- if you have it on a bun with cheese, you're in Lums territory. Did you have Lums restaurants back in the day? Lumburger with cheese? That was a huge thing for me in my high school years.

I had my dental appointment today, too. I go every four months. I just do better that way.

I'm glad you survived the medical ordeal this morning, Elmore. Rest, my friend, and feel better tomorrow.
