Dang! Dorworth with a short beard and thicker than ever. He probably could have guarded Hambone. Could he have handled me? Naw.

Parachute woman, will you blow me out?[Click to View YouTube Video]I'll break big in New Orleans
And I'll overspill in Caroline
I'll make my play in Dallas
And get hot again in half the time
Well, my heavy throbbers itchin'
Just to lay a solid rhythm down

Simple formula for fighting depression.
Eat lots of hay, moms!
http://www.vintageadbrowser.com/got-milk-ads-1990s/6
During my recent hospitalizations I was served portions of asparagus with regularity. It seemed like every day I'd be given this stuffing.
Half was pretty digestible, consisting of the tips and cuts from just below the tips,
but also cuts from further down the stalk which required a lot of chewing before it could be swallowed.
I left much of this fodder on the plate, of course.
My weight is now a comfortable 185 lbs, and I am able to fit into my jeans again.
My legs' swelling is under control, too.
I'm still on a regimen of solid (not IV) Lasix (Furosemide). The dose is pretty large, too...80 mgs twice a day at 9 a.m. and at 2 p.m. They are restricting me to 2 liters of liquid a day.
I feel like a racehorse, in that I'm peeing so much, not that I'm so fast.
I did get to where I wanted to be and back home again when I went out for some groceries last night and without a great deal of huffery-puffery or drama, etc.
I feel on the mend, but the State of California's weather problems are still waiting to be eased...what is the deal, weather god?
Where is all this El Nino-sponsored rain we expected?
I should be glad I didn't have to go out in a driving rain.
As it is, I got in a good long walk yesterday evening in pleasant 50 degree temps and came home with a 2-liter bottle of Mexico's famous carbonated apple juice, Manzanta del Sol.
I also got a good deal on melon de Chino, or cantaloupe, and also on a honeydew.
The melons were also HUGE!

Reverend Mathis, long may he live, at home at Camp Runnamucka.
Best friends are the best!
That Beggars' Banquet LP of his and my copy of the Let It Bleed LP got us through the dark days of Cambodian invasion and dope paranoia in '69 and '70.
Plus I began learning the ropes.
I feel positively hoary with age, thinking of the terrible, to me, Youtube Rewind video which I watched earlier.
I suppose it's nice to see all those bright and chipper young'uns doing so well by each other, avoiding the angst of the late Goths and the vibrations of we old hippies' genuine concern for the fate of the world.
Bread and circuses.
We got it all on Youtube.
So, no need to fret.
Just click and forget.

Immediate Downsizing Measures Employed
The recent announcement that Donner and Blitzen have elected to take the early reindeer retirement package (ERRP) has "triggered" a good deal of concern about whether they will be replaced, and about other restructuring decisions at the North Pole.
Roy Rogers' equine steed claimed early retirement as well, as you may not know...it was down-played at the time.
Streamlining is due to the North Pole’s loss of dominance of this season’s gift distribution business.
Home shopping channels, the Internet, and mail order catalogs have diminished Santa’s market share.
He could not sit idly by and permit further erosion of the profit picture.
The reindeer downsizing was made possible through the purchase of a late model Japanese sled for the CEO’s annual trip.
Improved productivity from Dasher and Dancer–who will retrain at the Harvard Business School–is anticipated.
Reduction in reindeer will also lessen airborne environmental emissions for which the North Pole has received unfavorable press.
I am pleased to inform you that Rudolph’s role will not be disturbed. Tradition still counts for something at The North Pole (TNP).

The introduction given Garth Brooks by Reba McEntire gave me a thrill, you betcha, with that big hair she was sporting.Reba was not the only gal who once wore her hair so big it could serve as a sail on a windjammer. Women kept their big hair through the 80s and into the 90s. It sold a lot of music and filled lots of empty seats in many concerts, to be sure. The Disco phenomenon of the 70s and the impact of the country music scene of the 80s and 90s kept a lot of hairstylists in business.The Ozone LayerRecycle those spray cans, gal!
I know it's hard to keep it "up" and takes a lot of "product" to maintain volume, but I for one, who has been known to enjoy the Dallas Cowboys' Cheerleaders maneuvers, and even the Raiderettes' routines on occasion, still find "BIG HAIR" nearly as exciting as Lycra (or whatever you may call it wherever you are--elastane, even).
Barbarosa!
Put them together and you get...cheerleaders! YAY!!!!!!

Two feral cats have moved in. They're more of the orange sort than the red. Someone started feeding them.
M is taking a signing class. She promised grandma, who was deaf that she would.
This is the kinda stuff she telling me.

A JOKE FOR US FROM THROWPIE'S FRIEND.
The Doctor said: "The good news is I can cure your headaches.....
The bad news is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition which causes your testicles to press up against the base of your spine and the pressure creates one hell of a headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles."
Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live for. He couldn't concentrate long enough to answer, but decided he had no choice but to go under the knife. When he left the hospital, he was headache free for the first time in over 20 years, but he felt as if he was missing an important part of himself. As he walked down the street he realized he felt like a different person. He could make a new beginning and live a new life. He saw a men's clothing store and thought, "That's what I need, a new suit."
The elderly salesman eyed him quickly and said, "Let's see, you're a size 44 long."
Joe laughed and said, "That's right, how did you know?"
"Been in the business 60 years!"
Joe tried on the suit. It fit perfectly. As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the tailor asked, "How about a new shirt?" Joe thought for a moment and then said, "Sure."
"Let's see, 16 and a half neck, 34 sleeve."
Joe was surprised. "How did you know?"
"Been in the business 60 years." The shirt fit perfectly.
As Joe looked at himself in the mirror, the salesman said, "You could use new shoes."
Since Joe was on a roll, he said, "Sure."
The man eyed Joe's feet and said, "9-1/2E."
Joe was astonished. "That's right. How did you know?"
"Been in the business 60 years." Joe tried on the shoes and they also fit perfectly.
As Joe walked comfortably around the shop, the salesman asked, "How about new underwear?"
Joe thought for a second and said, "Why not."
The man stepped back, eyed Joe's waist and said, "Let's see, size 36."
Joe laughed. "Finally I've got you! I've worn size 32 since I was 18 years old."
The tailor shook his head. "You can't wear a size 32. Size 32 underwear would press your testicles against the base of your spine and give you one hell of a headache."
