Hiya!
Everything went well at the Surgery Center. Kind of an interesting update on what a big business health care is these days. This place was located in a modern industrial park setting, but it was all health care; specialists of all sorts. I remember the old doctor shows on TV with “operating theaters” and dramatic [...]
In about an hour Pyrate and I will be headed to the “In and Out” surgery center, where he will have his hand operated on. His procedure will be done by a lovely blonde, qualified orthopedic surgeon who looks about 19 years old. Wow, she must be smart.
Ho hum, just a straightforward case of pulling [...]
The latest in accessories. All the well dressed folks from South of the Border are wearing these:
My husband is beginning to understand me. He didn’t laugh a bit when I picked these up. If we’re lucky, we’ll never have to use them and they’ll just sit in the emergency supplies minding their own business!
Influenza Pandemic, [...]
Gary (who doesn’t blog, why ever not?) sent an e-mail with great songs for aging Boomers:
Splish, Splash, I Was Havin’ a Flash
Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got a Lovely Walker
I Get By With a Little Help From Depends
How Can You Mend a Broken Hip
The First Time Ever I Forgot Your Face

Here I am with pictures of jars again!
This is the “first ever by me” canned beef! I bought two of those very tough looking round roasts, cut it into cubes (I set aside part of one to have for dinner that night) and cooked them up with onion and garlic in my big skillet. Then [...]
It’s a bright sunny day so I took the camera outside to make an update. We’ve had a lot of rain and everything is very green. Some of the neighbors have trees in full flower, but the apple and cherry trees in our yard haven’t opened yet (coming attraction!)
We’ve got lots of rhubarb!
And the [...]
It’s Friday, let’s dance! This is Tony Orlando and he must have been about 17! It was written by Barry Mann (”who put the bomp in the bomp, etc”) and Cynthia Weil who had all kinds of hits in the early 60’s. They don’t write ‘em like this any more!
Saturday I took Mr. Tesla to the vet for his annual check up. He really doesn’t like the car- and he barks at almost everything- LOUDLY. We have ear protection “headphoney things” for shooting, and the next time I take him someplace, I’m using it! Once he got out of my sight, he was a [...]
The Reaper over at Magazine Death Pool reports the demise of Starlog Magazine. Here’s a copy from my collection: Time flies- that’s the March, 1995 issue! It was a slick, well-produced magazine full of pictures and features about sci-fi movies and TV. Not cheap, it was $4.99 in 1995. There’s a companion magazine called “Fangoria” [...]
Got this in the e-mail, by talented “author unknown”
