Holding my breath in great anticipation.
mr40, I've told my VA story here before now. I had medical problems that occurred in the Army. In 2000 I decided I had to have VA help and applied for it. Was told to get lost. That occurred each year from 2000 to 2012, with paperwork accompanying. In 2012 I contacted our good Nevada senator's office, Senator Heller. One of his assts (Brad) asked to come to the local office and bring all my paperwork. He assured me that the VA would never tell him to get lost. He sent my paperwork on Senator Heller's letterhead paper to the VA. Two weeks later they phoned me and asked me what I wanted? Testing, I told them. They did, and have treated my like a respected honorable discharged vet ever since. I'm not fond of the VA. Few are.
You ain't gonna talk then I ain't gonna listen.
I claim I gave two quarts of blood this morning.
Marilyn says I exaggerate. She says it isn't two quarts.
Can't be more than two pints. I don't argue with Marilyn.
Better watch out for them spheres. Some got sharp points on them.
Lar? For a $10 tip I'da replaced it myownself.
True, thank you. Having a very quiet one. I am one of those strange rare birds that doesn't drink anything alcoholic. So I don't recall ever having tasted wine. And turning 84 next month? It doesn't seem likely that I will. But then I don't drink colas, either. A cuppa now and then, eyeswatter all day every day, eyesdtea now and then. Quiet life.
Coke aw . . . what?
We all harass EZ. But we love him. He can take it and dish it right back.
Larry, my Lincoln always needs warshing. Red metallic paint shows even the slightest dust. Still looks good though. Keeping it. Warshing it from time to time.
Gary, teener girls have a choice amongst the young men. Some would choose me for being tall and having no fat, that's fine. But when they found I simply would never dance they made their decisions. Can't blame them. All long in the past.
Larry: Fake it. Pulling the engine can take all day. And part of next week. I wouldn't.
Larry, I also watched the race. I have always thought that grey horses were fastest. One grey in this race, but with all the mud the grey turned as brown as the rest. Ran third for a while, but finished out of the money. Had no bet.
A few teener ladies made it clear to me at that time, that if I did not dance with them, they hoped I made a home on another planet. In another galaxy. Now.
Gary, I never did. I was certain I would be embarrassed. Awkward. So I never did. Envied those who did but refused to even try.
One thing we can all be assured of on your boards: everyone is allowed their opinion. I never danced at all. Wasn't coordinated.
I envy those who did it so well. And enjoy watching. But that doesn't require you to do so.
I never had a personal opinion of Kelly, Garland or Astaire. They had abilities that I hadn't. I like to watch them. I should not have said what I said. Forgive me please.
I've wreaked my brain . . . or racked it . . . chanced damage to it, but I simply cannot recall ever talking to a horse. Never knew one by name. I'm too far out west I guess. But I hope you easterners enjoy whutever they are gonna do today. I don't have a wager on it.
People are going to race their derbies today?
I think you are trying to tell us furriners something, but not sure what.
Okay? Who is the brains around here?
You Eastturders are going to bed. I a Westurder going to get my book, take my last pills for the day, turn on the Golf Channel and reeeeelax. See you inna morn.
I admit I are dissapernted that nobody cared a whit about the dancers I posted. I liked them. You didn't. But I forgive you for having no taste at all. Some do. But apparently the ones who have taste don't visit here whilst I post. (sniff)
Don't know if this entertained you. It did me. I never danced at all. Never felt I had the ability and coordination. And the last ten years have meant barely walking, arthritic knees. But I can appreciate others that can do what I never could. Bless them.

md40, you know I got my English Degree from college as an English Major. I never go anywhere without a book. And I take the walker out of the trunk of my Lincoln and take it and my book wherever I go. When I check in I tell them I am early but I have a book and will read and wait. Retired. No stress. It wasn't a problem.
Went. Spent over two hours there but it was a routine annual visit. Gave blood (again this week, gave my usual two quarts Monday and two more today) and did paperwork. Nothing important. No pain.
Thank you. It did. Took two hours of waiting, chatting, seeing a nurse, waiting, seeing a doc, waiting, giving blood (!) again, gave last Monday but not here. No big deal. I'm home, eating, I'm fine.
Arrow, not a single cloud here. So I have no excuse, I will be going out.
Dear Friend, I thank you. This will be easy times, check to see if I have blood pressure, a heartbeat. The usual. No pain no strain.
I'm not selling monsters until it does explode. I can and will wait.
I did mean days. But I think the VA made a slight err and probably meant hours. Anyway, I haven't gone days. But I had a light lunch and won't eat again until I leave the VA at noon tomorrow. Then I will load up.
The VA wants to talk to me tomorrow morn. Fine with me. But they indicated that it would be better if I didn't eat for seven days ahead of time. ??? So I am right now gonna have a light lunch and eat nothing nor nobody until I visit them inna morn. No idea what they are thinking. But I spose that the Gummint will pay them to observe me now and then. Gets me outa the house and costs me nuthin. I think I can afford that.
Sometimes this person or that one will suggest that I might take a flying leap . . . here or there. They just don't understand. With these knees? I can barely walk, using my cane or my walker. Flying leaps are out of the question.
Already have two monsters +. Wish I had more.
A mind is a terrible thing to waist.
A waist is a terrible thing to mind.
Or . . . something.
Behind the seen? Behind the screen? Behind the seam? Behind the splean?
In fact if I were you? I'd pish on the whole kitten kaboodle.
If someone offers to give you COPD? My advice would be to pass on it. Pish on it. I have it and it is a lot less fun than I hoped it would be.
Yabbut . . . Mr. Tree. sir? What about a lot of it?
