M-m-m-m....<stroking chin>.....could be a southern manifestation of the royal earthquake.....

You may be off the hook, Kareighn.

I'd still like me polar co-ordinated scarf set

I'll work on that. It's not really scarf season here.

Went to PF Changs for the first time tonight. I have had regular PF Changs at neighborhood parties as the manager lives across the street. We got 2 gluten-free dishes - spicy chicken and beef with snow peas and used the coupon for free lettuce wraps. It was delicious. They made a big fuss about the Food being gluten-free.

The Changs that I have been to really seem to take pride in their gluten-free food. I just love it there

Tummy is full. Having a glass of wine... I want to go to bed but am waiting for the boys to get home from work.

[jerseyangel]

I just had some tea-trying to stay awake but don't think I'll make it another 3 hours.

[kareng]

They should be home about 10:30 tonight. July 4 is the worst. They have to completely pack up a huge fireworks tent and put it into trucks. If they get done before the other tent, they go over there to help. Will probably be 2 a.m.

Just walked down to my public library to discover they're closed all weekend. Huff. At least I got some exercise.

Wish I was in on the mini-psillie gathering!

Well guys, believe it or not, my admitting physician was Dr. John Hung , and I think he must have changed his name to compensate for the tiny thumbs, like little matchsticks they were .

A doc came wandering into my two-bed room yesterday morning (other bed empty) and poked his head around and said, "Are you Ms. Salcido??? (incredulously)" I said no, I was not, but asked was he Dr Hung?? :lol: You could tell I was feeling bettah!

[elye]

I said no, I was not, but asked was he Dr Hung?? :lol:

Bah, forget the titles -- you should have simply asked him if we was Hung. . .. . ...

[mushroom]

Bah, forget the titles -- you should have simply asked him if we was Hung. . .. . ...

Didn't need to - I saw HIS thumbs too!

[kareng]

I used to work with a Dr. Wellington Hung.......

He even got a mention in Playboy for his name. I think he was a Pediatric Endocrinologist (Maybe?) but a urologist would have been better.

Yep, that's him! Thought you'ld have a comment about Well's name.

Hmmm.....

[Jestgar]

Yep, that's him! Thought you'ld have a comment about Well's name.

It's just too easy. I imagine his parents laughed hysterically every time they thought about the nicknames their son would get. He almost had to become either some prestigious professional, or a really good boxer.

[elye]

OMG.. ... . .. must be something about pediatric endocrinologists - - after my diabetes diagnosis as a child, the endo I saw for the first two or three years was a rather severe, older German specialist named Berndt Koch.

Happy Birthday Peter!

HAPPY BIRFDAY PEoTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[elye]

And HAPPY JULY 4TH, ALL YOU YANKS!!!!

Thank you for the birthday wishes. It has been a good day so far, but the heat is keeping me indoors at the moment. Fifteen minutes ago, the observation at the airport 2 miles west of here was 90F. With the humidity, it feels like 97F. It could be worse, though. The relative humidity is only 36%.

There is a bit of sadness in the house. Due to escalating problems, we had to send Bagheera back on Friday morning. The difficult and heartbreaking decision came on Thursday. He is such a sweet and loving little guy who gets along wonderfully with humans. Unfortunately, it seems that he needs to be in a one-cat household.

Sorry to hear about Bagheera. I'm sure he'll find a good home.

POeter, I am so sorry to hear this. A beautiful little kitten like Bagheera will find a new home quickly, for sure.

This brings me to other very sad news that I must mention to you, my dear friends. Our beautiful, dear rescued standard poodle, Charlie, is no longer with us. Such a sad tale, and I am still grieving. He had challenges when we adopted him -- he was devocalized, he had been abused, and he was middle-aged. There was fear of men, lack of socialization and a tendency to be unpredictable with strangers while on-leash due to fear.

Well, after SO much work, so much obedience training, desensitization and counter-conditioning, he still had a long way to go. Last week he suddenly bit Jack, and we knew that was it.... ..the final straw.

He was such a big, beautiful, loving animal. . . ..but some horrid, poor excuse for a human being mistreated him for the first five years of his life, and forever scarred him.

I only wish I had the guy's name. :angry:

We are all grieving, and perhaps looking at a new pup during the summer that can be Elsie's new friend.

[Jestgar]

Oh Emmy, I'm so sorry. I guess your dad needed a dog and figured one trained by you would be the best kind.

I hope Jack understands that it wasn't Charlie's doing.
