I think some of the most unexpected music discoveries for me would be Schoenberg and Nine Inch Nails. Opposite spectrums, but both fascinated me. I heard Schoenberg in class. I saw Nine Inch Nails at Woodstock '94.

I’m exactly the opposite. I heard Nine Inch Nails in class and saw Schoenberg at Woodstock ‘94.

I missed Schoenberg at Woodstock’94!!!!!!!!!! Agh!!!!!!

[John G.]

Three!

All the best, BK!

Good morning.

[Laura]

The doctor appointments went well. They put us in a room together. My bad cholesterol was a little high, as a result of eating red meat so I can donate blood, so I'll give up the meat. My DH's A1C was a little high, so he was instructed to lose 5 pounds. Recheck in 4 months.

[elmore3003]

It has been a ridiculously horrible morning. In the past two weeks, the tenant in 1C has come up to my apartment twice to inform me the plumbers are in her a[artment checking out a plumbing issue requires her to flush my toilet. Fine, go ahead. She won't deal with the tenant in 2C because she's afraid of her!

[Laura]

But it looks like we'll both be around for a while.

[elmore3003]

So, this morning, I've got everything pertaining to tis senior citizen issue spread out all opver my computer table./ I'm scanning documents and printing the scans and trying to keep tack of what I'm doing, and a plumber shows up: can he flush my toilet? I agree and tell him not to let Stella out when he goes. Five minutes later, the tenant in 1C shows up. Can I call the tenant in 2C and ask her to let the plumbers in to flush her toilet. At that point I lost it and began yelling over the fact that I was busy and there was no reason I should be involved. Either the plumbers or building management should be dealing with this shit. I was in the middle of my own fucking mess.

[elmore3003]

I mean, really? You're too afraid of the neighbor above you to communicate over a plumbing issue? Grow up, dammit.

[Freddie]

Great to hear that!

[George]

On the shelf next to “To Serve Man.”

That's exactly what I was thinking!

LOL - and there's the "Simpsons" take on that

Very good news, Laura!

WTF??

[bk]

Back from the CAT scan. Took ten minutes, but they were behind ten minutes but I still got out ten minutes earlier than predicted. Food ordered. And I need it.

[bk]

I could achieve a nice new number today.

[bk]

You never know.

[bk]

The Shadow knows.

Getting to Laurel Canyon to go over the hill - a five minute drive - took twenty. One on Laurel it was fine.

[elmore3003]

Then, at 1:30 I called the corner bodega and placed an order. At 2:15, I called to ask about it. It finally arrived at 2:35. What the hell is going on today?

[ChasSmith]

That 1C/2C situation is batshit insane!

[ChasSmith]

I was just in Shop Rite picking up a few things, so while all of this talk of tuna was fresh in my mind, I stopped in that aisle and browsed. And browsed. And browsed. My, there's a lot of ways to package and market tuna! And it looks like you have to be really careful in picking up the cans you want. In those from a given manufacturer, they look quite alike. It's dizzying.

[Rodzinski]

What’s so scary about the gal in 2C?

[Rodzinski]

Usually a plumber is very pleased to show up at a lady’s door and she happily lets him in and they get along famously. In movies I watch, anyway.

If you buy the wrong kind of tuna, your cats will enjoy it.

The doctor wrote a prescription for us to get covid shots. What about all that tax money we spent to create the vaccination? Let everyone who wants one have one!

[Laura]

I am very glad that my son and DIL believe in vaccines. Grandson is fully vaccinated.

[Laura]

When I was traveling to California frequently when there was a whooping cough epidemic there many years ago, I requested a vaccination because I'm around kids at church. It's the responsible grown-up thing to do. I got another one before Grandson was born.

[Laura]

That's enough of me ranting.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
