Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
My grandparents watched Lawrence Welk every week! My younger brother and I always laughed at the bubbles! Grandpa loved to Waltz and they enjoyed the dancers on the show.
I saw The Beatles on Ed Sullivan and was in love with them. They played at City Park in New Orleans when I was 9 years old. I begged to go. Tickets were $4.00! My parents wouldn’t take me 😔. They said that they didn’t want to be around all of the screaming girls. I told them that I wanted to be one of those screaming girls.
Elvis was on Ed Sullivan. Tons of performers went on his show.
My grandparents alternated watching Bishop Sheen and Billy Graham on television.
Grandpa loved watching baseball. His favorite team was the Yankees. Grandma loved her soap operas! I never did watch those but my mom loved The Young and the Restless.
The Beatles? And their crazy screaming fans! My poor dad took a friend and I to see HELP in a theatre. OMG! The screaming drove me nuts and of course my friend was one of them! I remember dad shushing her but not what happened after that. I wonder if she stopped. We were sitting in the first row of the balcony so that probably made it louder and even more uncomfortable!
Funny! I have never screamed in a theater. My parents took us to see The Beatles movies at the drive in theaters. Remember those?
Must get some garbanzos to toast and see how they are as a crunchy chip substitute.
The main reason I started watching that soap opera was because my Mom-in-Law watched it, and it helped me to start communicating with her about the plot lines when I was first married. Even after the divorce from her son in the 1990's, she insisted I remain one of her best friends :) We continued to talk soap opera for 25 years more.
Well that trip to the grocery was sensory OVERLOAD for me! Either everyone is out readying for the snow, or last minute shopping for Valentine's and kids out of school today? I have no idea, but strange! Then the wind certainly didn't help!
And of course the grocery is in the process of rearranging the store. They are preparing to add table wines to the shelves as they can now be sold in every grocery. I am sure I forgot half of what I went in for.
I'm not doing anything. No beau. But I'll buy 1/2 price chocolates tomorrow, so it's definitely a worthwhile holiday. 😁
Today's day starts with a V
Eat chocolate if you dare

In the hospital waiting area right now. Hubby is having a colonoscopy done. Needless to say, my husband didn’t have a great Valentine’s Day!
I do love that hospitals have coffee shops in them. Just ordered my morning cup of coffee since I don’t have time for coffee before leaving home.
The doctor removed three polyps and saw a fourth one on his appendix but couldn’t remove it so he now has to have his appendix removed.
I was all for the home colonoscopy testing before which we usually do but it’s definitely better that he went in for the standard colonoscopy.
The last time that I did the home test it showed blood so I had to do the standard colonoscopy. It was a bleeding polyp, nothing serious.
Now to upload a dozen+ supporting documents.
I admire her for getting a new dog. After having to put two of my beloved dogs down, I can’t bring myself to get another one and go through that again.
Most people young and old are scrolling through their phones. The magazines are hardly ever read these days in waiting rooms.
I remember telling a friend of mine that I would occasionally pick up a magazine to read in the waiting room at the hospital. She told me that she never read them because of the germs from the sick people. LOL 😆 She’s a nurse. I can be a germ freak too but I never thought about not reading a magazine.
I called him and told him that my husband had no symptoms and ended up having three polyps removed and then the weird thing where the fourth polyp went inside of his appendix. The doctor couldn’t remove it and said that it was fortunate that he saw the polyp and that it didn’t go unnoticed.
So, the only way to remove the polyp is to remove the appendix. He said that the polyp cannot stay in there. All polyps have to be removed so they can send them off to the lab. Strange going in for a routine colonoscopy and hearing that he needs an appendectomy!
Anyway, my brother said that he was having some symptoms and went to the doctor. My brother is 70 and has never had a colonoscopy! His doctor wasn’t happy about it and he scheduled one for him.
It’s upsetting because my other brother has had colon cancer.
I can’t remember what the age is for the first screening but I remember that Katie Couric brought attention to the disease because her husband died at a relatively young age with colon cancer. My younger brother nearly died with it. If caught early enough it can be successfully treated.
Schedule your colonoscopy appointments!
What is the FIT test? Is that the home test? Here it’s called Cologuard.
Oh, okay.
My doctor said okay to the home test at first. Hubby and I both did that. She doesn’t like only the home test. She says that a person should do a colonoscopy to have a better look.
