PAGE TWO!

[Jrand75]

DR ELMORE sent me a CD of ".....The Singing Nun..." which I still play.

[Jrand75]

I'm watching a song from A CHRISTMAS STORY presented by a local theeder.

I really think Ralphie should be cute....not.....uh....not cute....nor she he have to struggle on the high notes.

[Jrand75]

Rehearsal vibes for MR BK & Co.

[Jrand75]

I was at the getting place this morning...cold, but not overly so.

[Jrand75]

I think the first time I went to McDonald's was during the 60's....I had my favorite then and now - The Big Mac.

[Jrand75]

Sorry your doctor is retiring DR JANE.

Yes...that is always a chore.

[ChasSmith]

I'm thinking about the alternatives to McDonald's that we enjoyed back in the 1960s. Burger King, certainly. Red Barn - anyone remember those? They were big in Florida and I remember only one or two up north later on before they died out. They featured fried chicken in addition to burgers. Burger Chef, I think. Royal Castle was a southern version of White Castle -- long gone, and for my taste it was the better chain, but I still love a White Castle binge to this day. There was no Big Boy franchise in Florida but we knew them from Columbus and I'd still love whatever's left of the Frisch's version in Ohio. I loved Lums (Lumburger with cheese for me, please) in Florida, and later in Cleveland. They were still in L.A. when I lived there but I don't think I ever went to one, sorry to say. Arby's came to Florida in the late 1960s and I loved that. Wendy's didn't come along till the 1970s. Anyhoo, that's what comes to mind at the moment as regards actual fast food chains.

What's the status of the Singing Nun these days?

I think it's a dead issue. I loved it, so I hope it isn't dead forever.

[elmore3003]

I was a freshman in 1964 when a Burger King opened in Oxford, Ohio. That was my first encounter with a fast food franchise. My memory is tat at some point between 1964 and 1968 a McDonalds replaced the Burger King.

When either of the authors has another show that hits big, people will be looking for their other work.

I feel that way about artists like Stephen Cole, with whom you also worked, Larry.  If this new show by him and David Krane that just appeared in London ends up a hit, business logic says that opens the door to all his past musicals as well, for theaters wanting other work by the same person who wrote [big hit show].

From DR John,

That was how I peeled them. But some were so green, there was a middle peel.

I like my bananas slightly green, but oh my green like that is hard on the stomach.

[Jane]

Thank you DR Freddie.  Fingers crossed I like the new rheumatologist just as much.

[Freddie]

This seems to have just appeared on YouTube in the past hour or so -
I thought it really kicked into high gear around 2-1/2minutes in.

If I dream about him playing Centauri (the Robert Preston role) one day in "The Last Starfighter," even in a concert version - am I being delusional, or just short on the cash to help that happen?

[Jane]

George, thanks for the congrats to Keith.

[Jane]

George, thank you regarding the doctor.

[Jrand75]

Nice clip DR FREDDIE.

You can always win the lottery and make it happen.

[Jrand75]

In the last couple of weeks I have been getting "courtesy" copies of many magazines - including Southern Living, Magnolia, Food & Wine, and Travel + Leisure.

And of course subscription offers are included.

They are all very nice, but the only one I think I may subscribe to is called Bird & Bloom with lots of photos of birds and plants.

[Freddie]

I went in just for blood test yesterday, in anticipation of my Telehealth appointment next Wednesday - and my doctor saw (I guess on the computer) that I had checked in for the blood work, and came out since he somehow had the time on his schedule to do a visit while I was already there.  I also got an "eye photo" test while I was there, and he added some additional tests while they were already drawing blood.

I'm thinking since my Fidelis (non-Medicare) insurance ended end of April, and I started Medicare in May - There were no issues keeping him from repeating tests that would usually be once a year - since there are different insurance companies between mid-April and yesterday.

[Freddie]

"Nobody's Side" had advice on that too:

"Never make a promise or plan."

[Jane]

From DR George,

I hate it when that happens...and it's happened to me twice this year!

Vibes you are pleased with the new dermatologist, once you find one.

[Jane]

Our wonderful primary physician has reduced the number of days he is working.  We hope he won't fully retire too soon.

I woke up from a disturbing dream at midnight, and I don't want to go back to sleep.

Reading instead often distracts me from my dreams.

[Jane]

Sorry your doctor is retiring DR JANE.

Yes...that is always a chore.

Thank you.  She is just leaving the practice.  We suspect she took a teaching position someplace.  I will ask her at my next appointment.

This was the easiest switch ever since the new doctor is in the same office.  Easy, if I like him, not so much if I don't

That was convenient.  I'm confused though, was this your ophthalmologist or primary?

I don't know when I had my first McDonalds.  I doubted I rushed back.

When we lived in our first house in Reseda there was a McDonalds walking distance.  We would buy a cheeseburger without the meat, take it home and put our own veggie burger in it.  After we had Bryan, and he was old enough, we would go for fries.  Our babysitter worked there and told me to order the fries without salt, then they would have to make a fresh batch.  He was right, they were much better.

Thursday afternoon greetings!  I had to be up & outta here for an early haircut appointment.  Later this afternoon Richard and I are going to see “Merrily We Roll Along” on the big screen.

It was a surprise. 

There's an eye practice in the same location, which I guess is same ownership - so my primary care doctor first saw me, then in one fell swoop prescribed an eye photo test and confirmed that a technician was available, and then walked me over to have it taken.  (The person who actually took the eye photo was not the ophthalmologist, but a technician.). Them the lab test blood-drawer met me after the eye tests and brought me to have blood drawn.
