I had a really bad back flare-up last weekend -- very stubborn -- and had to cancel all my plans for the week. Fortunately, I was able to get into see the chiropractor who helped me so much last year. He doesn't take insurance or I'd see just him. The chiropractor who takes insurance hasn't been able to help me so far. I'm doing somewhat better, but am feeling cautious.

Stopping the back pain vibes for DR JEANNE.

DR JANE I am trying to stay cool by staying in the house.....however sometimes one is compelled to leave the comfort of the air conditioning.

An ambulance went by a stopped by the corner in the next block - there were also two Police Cars there.

I couldn't see what was going on because of the neighbor's yard bush, so I was compelled to go outside and check it out.....

I stood at the corner for awhile and pointed down my street to cars headed that way to try to slow them down since the street was blocked and they couldn't see it or get through when they got there.....

Most people waved and said thanks!

I had to reschedule my eye procedure. I called to cancel it on Monday and spoke directly to the scheduler. On Wednesday, the day before the originally scheduled procedure, I received a call from the pre-op nurse with instructions for the day of the procedure. She wasn't aware that the procedure had been cancelled. But while I had her on the phone I again asked some basic questions, such as whether I'd be able to drive home. She said yes, I could drive. But then she mentioned that I'd be dilated. Dilated? I can't drive if I've been dilated. I know some people who can, but the two times that I've tried to were absolutely terrifying, as my vision was just too blurred. Don't they understand that many people can't drive while dilated? And why do they wait until the last minute to inform you? Rides generally need to be arranged in advance. Not to mention that patients do tend to worry when they don't know what the situation is. I must give this prestigious medical institution a fail when it comes to patient communication.

[Jrand74]

The ambulance is gone and only one police car is left....I guess I'll have to read the local bladder to see what the dealio is.

Thank you, Jack.

[Jrand74]

DR JEANNE that certainly sounds like a failure to communicate.

[Jeanne]

Respite vibes to Jrand.

Glad to hear that the playlet's opening night went so well.

Cicada ice cream? No. Although I do think it's an interesting attempt at culinary recycling.

I hope everything is ok.  It was nice of you to stay out there to let passing drivers know.

Yes, they should have told you from the beginning your eyes would be dilated.  While I am sorry you had to reschedule it sounds like it may have been a good thing.  Do you have to wait long for your procedure?

BACK PAIN BEGONE VIBES FOR DR JEANNE!

Congrats to DR Jennifer on now being fully vaccinated.

I'm thinking that Mr Svengoolie should have MR BK as a guest on his show.....I think he tapes in Chicago or nearby environs.

Ooh, EXCELLENT idea! Mr BK is now a Zoom expert and wouldn't even need to travel.

One of my favorite things in the video is that the Professor at IU has a book shelf in his wall with two shelves.....and one of the shelves has knick knacks on it.....  I guess seismologists don't do much reading.

His professional library is in the other room.

Or perhaps he's been taking a clue from Elmore and donating many of his books to a library.

Well, I got to the point where I put  the teleplay down in dismay, finished my notes and sent them off.

Glad you were honest. A truthful piece about Christmas in the Holler is better than treacle. Still, as long as they spell your name right on the checks…

I felt the writer was freely adapting too much; he kept our characters basic plot, changed a few names, cut most of the songs and made songs intended for characters into "let's sing a song!" and then wrote his own story, setting it in 1930 but being way too PC and contemporary.

Sorry to hear this, but not too surprised. I suspect that there are few writers who can really step in and do a adaptation with respect to the original material. Everyone has their own style and their own preferences. I couldn't watch the recent LITTLE WOMEN, because it was too contemporary. It just wasn't credible to me.

I do hope the subsequent versions are more appropriate and to your liking. If not, tell them you want BK to do it!

No, but I scheduled for July because my back needs to be behaving and I don't know how long that will take. The Natural Ophthalmics products have really helped and I can put off the procedure as a result.

Thank you.

DR JANE as soon as I find out - everyone at HHW will know.

AND White Kitty was in my driveway earlier this week.  I may have posted that the folks who moved told my neighbor to watch her and they would be back.....   White Kitty is living at Jennifer's house with Black Kitty.....she gets plenty of food & water and still wanders around.

I guess the person I thought took her did not.....

So Indiana had an earthquake. It does shake you up a bit, I admit. 

When I first moved to Virginia I leased an apartment that was in a building right next to the train track. (Previously considered unbuildable, I suspect.) A train would come by daily. There'd be rumbling and shaking. Just like California! I felt right at home!

Yum?

I don't like driving when my eyes have been dilated, Jeanne. Definitely agree with you.

Putting on the first disk of One-Lane Bridge. And there's a preview of a series with Judy Davis called Mystery Road. Must track it down. She's one of my favorites.
