.... Cindy,
For telling me about your health-care provider, Ginger.
While I've no issues with my current PCP, I've grown accustomed to being treated like a number. Someone to be seen in 9 minutes-or-less, such seems to be the state of 21st century health care.
Thankfully, when I visited their little office yesterday, I felt I was transported back to 1950-something. Giggling when the nurse took my blood pressure with the dial and pump. When I commented on it she smiled, "Yes, we still do things the old fashioned way."
Never have I ever had someone to sit and explain every single line item of my blood panel and what they mean, but that's what Ginger did. She even recommended, instead of taking expensive Calcium supplements, I take two Tums with my Vitamin D and get the same benefit.
.... Dick Wolf,
I'm a huge fan of your binge-worthy franchises.
Law & Order, SVU and One Chicago are all immensely entertaining ..... and you know what else?
This old lady's just going to come out and say it.
I appreciate being able to watch in Primetime without having to see PDA's between same-sex characters.
From what I've read, you've said (you) don't find it necessary to appeal to the 'WOKE' audience nor reach to embrace diversity.
Please keep producing and we'll keep watching!
.... Fran,
Learning of John's death was a real blow to Tom.
Friends, collaborators (and conspirators, too) they probably made more memories than Carter has pills.
When Tom left Chicago for Phoenix in 1974, he doesn't rightly remember (ha-ha) why he left his bass at your house.
Nevertheless you, Fran, remembered. "Would you like to have it?"
When the UPS man delivered that big box yesterday, Tom was practically beside himself.
50 years later, together, again!





Oh my gosh - you got some great recommendations! Good for you.
ReplyDeleteThe doctor seems good.
I couldn't agree with you more than to have some good tv without all this WOKE business. I copied them down.
Are you saying he got a guitar from his old friend? How wonderful. Sorry for his loss.
Thanks, Sandie. No, this guitar was Tom's originally and had been left 50 years at his friend's home.
DeleteIt sounds like your new health care provider is a keeper.
ReplyDeleteI know, right?!
DeleteI'm glad you have a great health care provider. I love mine too. ❤️
ReplyDeleteWe're blessed!
DeletePraying for you and Toml for your good health. Take care.
ReplyDeleteGod bless always.
Thank you, Victor.
DeleteLife is full of surprises! Some bad and thankfully some good. I would say you have more good than bad. A good doctor is worth their weight in gold for sure. I'm saying I have good ones too. Good health to you and yours. Love, ma
ReplyDeleteLike Gilda Radner used to say, "It's always something!"
DeleteI totally can relate to the 9 min or less when it comes to doctors visits. Whatever happened to the Dr. Marcus Welby days? We need them back.
ReplyDeleteAgreed ... I loved Dr. Marcus Welby!
DeleteWay to cool about the guitar!!! Yesterday I had my 6-month appointment and was kept waiting for over 30min...found out my dr. is leaving the practice as she is going back to medical school. Boohoo...she was the best, explained everything and never ever does she scold. Sigh, now onto a new dr. in the same practice. I am not looking forward to this.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day, Myra.
That happened to me, the first year we were here. S'not fair! (lol)
DeleteMy primary care doctor is known as “old school” and that’s why I like him. He’ll even pray with you! He lets me make my own decisions with his guidance. And when I was in the hospital dealing with low blood pressure, he came to see me and wheeled me out to our car! He’s amazing.
ReplyDeleteWow, he does sound amazing. Thank you for telling me about him.
DeleteWow, Myra, I sure wish I could find a Ginger for my health care - she sounds amazing! There's too much pill-popping recommended these days instead of using natural remedies, isn't there? Keep that gem! And how wonderful that Tom has been reunited with his old bass. He is quite the versatile musician. Blessings to you both!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, dear Martha. Blessings!
DeleteThat is good news about Ginger being to attentive. There are so many shows today with same sex relationships. I get it, but I don't need to see it. How exciting about the bass. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteExactly! I'm a 'live and let live' sort of gal, but don't care to watch it.
DeleteLovely, Myra! xo
ReplyDelete🤗
DeleteTom reunited with his bass after fifty years! That is incredible news. I have no doubt he's ecstatic. Nice photo.
ReplyDeleteBlogs are appearing late on my readers list. Sorry that I'm last.
🙃
DeleteSo glad you have good news on the dr. front and that Tom got his guitar back again. That's amazing.
ReplyDeleteThere is so little on tv that's of value any more. "Woke" being pushed down our throats as is the whole gender thing...especially here in California.
Times are coming for us to stand up for our convictions.
Sue
Amen! 👍
