It’s really fun to people watch. Today in the hospital waiting room they had the sweetest little old lady who was looking at dog rescues. She said that she missed her dog terribly. She had to put her down and desperately wanted a new pooch.

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.

So, my husband had a kind of weird colonoscopy.

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.

Had a crazy dream last night that I died my silver hair back to my original auburn color. LOL 😆

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.

Hubs & I were at my MIL's facility last night for their Valentine's Day fancy restaurant-style dinner. During dinner one of the residents apparently either choked on his food or had a heart attack. I didn't realize what was happening until I saw 2 cops and then the EMTs come in. They had him on the floor performing CPR. The poor staff had to stand there holding up privacy sheets around the activity. Our family was seated close to the stage facing the entertainment (a violin player). They asked her to keep playing because she could see everything from the stage and was very shook up but the show went on. The man actually passed away right there. I'm thankful my MIL was blissfully unaware since her back was to the action the entire time and the music drowned out other sounds. Also thankfully (I think?), that man's family was not there at this dinner. He was a long-time NH resident, a retired doctor who founded a hospital in our area. More than anything I was astonished that he must not have had a DNR, as I watched them do CPR for quite a while. He went out between the tables on a gurney with a sheet over his face. Not your average Valentine's Day...I felt so sad for the staff because not only were they (and volunteers) working so hard to pull off this event, but they were shook up and mourning the sudden loss of this man whom they all knew well, like family. Kiss, hug or call your LO today if you can!

I'm not doing anything. No beau. But I'll buy 1/2 price chocolates tomorrow, so it's definitely a worthwhile holiday. 😁

I will keep the peas in mind, thanks, ITRR.

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.

Glad, peas are a good crunchy snack too. I, especially, like mine with wasabi - crunchy, satisfying and spicy.

NeedHelpWithMom, rising hand..... "The Young & the Restless" fan here since the 1970's. Even hubby is hooked on it as the older characters are corporate world.

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.

Must get to the store this.morning, coffee and breakfast burrito. We have not had much snow for awhile. But, it is coming in and the wind is blowing! Just get chili out! Why does spell check change must to just?!

Must get some garbanzos to toast and see how they are as a crunchy chip substitute.

There are actually some drive-ins open here. There is a company that was working towards reopening the one here and they were talking of doing it in conjunction with a microbrewery.

Funny! I have never screamed in a theater. My parents took us to see The Beatles movies at the drive in theaters. Remember those?

😃😃 heck, Lawrence Welk? Watched it every Saturday evening when caring for mom and L. They loved it! Wonder if it is still on PBS?

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!

Golden,

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.

Gershun,

Hey, Zeppelin saved me from the crappy disco scene from that era! LOL 😆

Nowadays, Robert Plant is singing with Alison Krauss. Who would’ve ever seen that coming?

I saw Elton at our jazz fest. He was great!

I've been having a fun walk down memory lane listening to music on YouTube, but the comments from all the younger users and the weird playlists people come up with frequently have me rolling my eyes.

cw,

The only thing that I ever saw in the lounge at my godmother’s nursing home was Steve Harvey on Family Feud! LOL

My godmother had Alzheimer’s disease and was blind from macular degeneration and wasn’t aware of much.

She wasn’t even aware of hurricane Katrina. She said, “Isn’t it nice of the nursing home to take us on a road trip! She had no idea that it was an emergency evacuation.

Same thing at the nursing home that my mom did her rehab in. It seemed like the television was stuck on Family Feud!

Occasionally, a volunteer would play music for them, piano, guitar or violin. Sometimes gospel singers on Sunday.
