Besides, there’s no Melinda. They say for sure.

An Alan Jay Lerner reference.

Let's get one thing clear: A nap is always in order.

Except, perhaps, when driving.

And, speaking of driving, former DR JMK created this delightful meme:

My accent en Francaise caused quite a stir in the chorus last night, the director did not comment.

I went to WalMart and looked for a sprinkling can....and looked....and looked.

I asked someone and went where I was directed....only metal cans costing $17.98.

I guess I will go to Lowe's one day this week to buy one. I need to water the area where I planted grass seed.....

I had to reserve a rental car for later this summer. Holy cow! A compact for $85 per day?

I read the car rental companies sold many of their cars during covid and there is a shortage. I gather that has also upped the prices.

We considered renting a car while we were in Chicago. Since the hotel wanted $45 a night to park it we decided we really didn't need a car. We were right.

Really?? You're complaining about posting when we could be on page 85 if you had broken up that last YUGE post into smaller posts!

I am back from a wonderful session at Lenox Hill Hospital. Dr Bricksburg is a relatively young doctor, a bit of a pudgy one but so friendly and welcoming. I had a great sense of comfort and a feeling I was in good hands with him. Before I saw him, I was examined - temperature and blood pressure - and interviewed by his nurse Gail, who was equally wonderful.

I will begin treatment with hormone injections for te next several months. Dr Blacksburg estimated three months before radiation, which will be every day for six weeks!

I finally decided to try to do something concrete about the inner tube.

I joined Noom (a psychologically-driven weight loss app). I've been at it for a little less than a week.

So far, I'm down 8 pounds.

Former DR Jason has done well with Noom. Congrats on your good start.

Do I care that Melinda and Bill Gates are divorcing? Ask me.

I feel bad. Thirty three years is a long time and they worked together to make a better world.

Then he introduced me to his social worker, Laura, my new BFF. We had a nice 30-45 minute visit, and she is going to set me up with Access-A-Ride, which wil pick me up take me anywhere in the city for $2.50 a ride, so a roundtrip to Lenox Hill for radiation treatments will cost me $5.00 instead of $40+ by taxi. She is also going to help me with a rent reduction and set me up with PAWS: https://pawsny.org/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw4cOEBhDMARIsAA3XDRjpNFiKjXZTO3Uzz3u654DqN47GCNzZeKujsNWx0yf3ToX9YOEaBxwaAkg5EALw_wcB

I'm not sure how much help PAWS NY will be, but they sound like an organization to which I would be happy to belong.

Bruce congrats on finding the missing notebook.

Jane · « **Reply #58 on:** May 04, 2021, 10:08:37 AM »

DR elmore it is about time someone set you up with Access-A-Ride. Vibes it will continue long past your radiation treatments.

Jane · « **Reply #59 on:** May 04, 2021, 10:14:31 AM »

With all our moves, including helping kids move in and out of storage units, what happened is more on the lines of what I expected. Not knowing how much was to be moved I hoped my thoughts were way off and Bruce was not underestimating the reality of the move.
