Comment on Nothing to fear but fear itself by Marilyn

I can’t tolerate anything more exhilerating than the carrousel at Disneyland, yet being on a plane fills me with awe every time! I want to scream at the passengers who are reading, sleeping, or engaged in any business other than looking out the window, “Hey! We’re sitting in comfortable chairs 5000 feet up in the air! Pay attention! Look out your windows and share my joy! It’s a miracle!” People who actually cover the window to prevent themselves (and me!) from seeing out or to block the light so they can sleep leave me speechless. I have boarded flights after being awake for over 24 hours (sleepless from the anticipation and excitement of flying) and would NEVER, even under those circumstances, have entertained the idea of a nap. Thanks for letting me “walk in your shoes” and understand how others might not share my excitement. Going forward, I will carry eye-masks and Dramamine in my carry-on, in case I find myself flying with someone like you. I wish you a lifetime of uneventful and turbulence-free flights.

Comment on Not really fresh, just sassy by Marilyn

Why do I suddenly have the urge to go home and make a fresh loaf of bread? Or maybe six so I can put a few loaves in the freezer.

I attempted to call a nurse in Family Practice last week, my call was forwarded to the triage nurse and I sat on hold for 20 minutes. I finally hung up, called the main switchboard, explained the situation and got through to a receptionist who needed some convincing before she went looking for the nurse I was trying to reach. I had a patient I was trying to help and even after explaining, it wasn’t easy to get through. I can understand why our patients get so frustrated. I hope we get our phone situation resolved soon!

A great slice of life story that I (and probably everyone else) can totally relate to. Have I mentioned before that this is my all-time favorite blog? If I have, good. We’ll call this mention repetition for emphasis.
Patiently awaiting next entry.
Have you considered compiling into a book?

Comment on The name of the game by Marilyn

Great story. I may have to borrow a couple of lines. Or would that be akin to impersonating my mom? On an otherwise angsty sort of day, this article has let me take a turn toward the light. Thanks. I simply love the Tuesdaytalk’s blog!

We must be related.

That was nice. In an ever shrinking world where person to person communication is more and more often given the back seat, this blog feels like afternoon tea, lunch with my sisters, or an afternoon at the park. The subjects are real and personal and meaningful. I’m so glad I found this blog. Write on.

As a first time girl myself last year, I found the prep to taste like lemon pledge. If once wasen’t bad enough, I had to do it twice with in a few months. So I hadn’t even forgotten the first time yet. I totally symathize with anyone who has gone threw this or is about to.

Mrs. Schwartz was right. There are 128 ounces in a gallon, not 64. The “half a brain” I do have still can’t do the math. So the MoviPrep was a bargain, after all. Okay. Just wish the working half of my brain concurred.

Is there a PSAtest on the horizon for your hubby?
