I'm gonna try and do better. I've forgotten my NOTHING so many times lately its not even funny but I sneak it on quickly and never get snagged. Just the NJ coming out, living on the edge.

1ST Doctor today suggested I lose weight, I couldn't help myself, I told him he must have graduated at the top of his class! He busted out laughing, its all in the delivery.

A great friend from Chicago said to me in the pool yesterday, I gotta take you to this Fantastic, Phenomenal Restaurant in Claremont. He said It's about 50 minutes but well worth it. I've been there and had tears in my eyes it was outta this world. I didn't tell him I've been there, he was Like Christopher Columbus Discovering Italian Food!

It was called Goombas! Now I wanna go now. I'm staying on the reservation without adult supervision, I wanna stay outta trouble!

It's not the flying of years ago, that's for sure, but for good reason.

Driving on the other hand I love. Unfortunately, my husband is not in agreement. He dislikes it as much as I love it so if he can get out of it, he will. I do agree with you, fw, about the potential for accidents. My extended family has certainly had their share of them. Between my husband and I we've lost at least 6 close relatives (2 grandmothers, aunt, uncle, cousin, and nephew} due to car accidents. One is too many, 6 is NOTHING but tragic. Haven't lost even one to an airplane incident , but I still love the added adventure of a car ride when going on a trip.

That is sad. And NOT for NOTHING. Only lost one cousin to an extremely brutal car accident in CA from a head-on collision that brought on an extensive fire. Most of our lost ones have been to cancer or old age. And one tragic suicide of my great Uncle. And a suicide of my gun loving paranoid schizophrenic brother-in-law who thought his sister and my brother had been replaced by aliens. Lost younger brother to chronic alcoholism at 52.

Sorry I NOTHING but missed your post-Abby. That is truly absolutely tragic, Holy Crow. No more Deer Jokes as of the Beep. BEEP!

I did something similar --

I nothing but asked my doctor:

Q. "What do you call a person who graduates from a top medical school at the top of their class"?

A. Doctor

Q. "And what do you call a person who graduates from a low ranking, third world medical school at the bottom of their class?

A. Doctor


And, so it goes. I could be a doctor -- I would simply tell everyone I meet: Lose, Weight, Stop Smoking, Eat Right, Avoid Stress, Sleep Soundly, Avoid anything Processed. I'll bill you later.

They just have to pass the Medical Boards as far as I know and just once. NOT NOTHING.

Dwayne Johnson - Movies, Wife & Family - Biography

Really like the details in a lot of the Dwayne Johnson movies of the past five years or more and not for NOTHING. There are not a HUGE number of actresses and actors I would like to meet but this man is definitely one.

Happy Birthday, May 2, the Rock.

I was horrible at wrestling though.

But seriously,

We met with my hippy-dippy doctor. I think I mentioned I've been cleared for everything. I asked him what should I avoid? He looked at me and said, probably nothing. You see, your recovery has a lot to do with the shape you were in before the surgery.

I saw where he was going with this ... LOL ... there is nothing I could possibly do that would jeopardize my hip.

One disturbing thing he said, after looking at the x-rays was that normally he replaces hips that look like my left one! (It was the right that he replaced). So there probably is another replacement in my future but as long as I'm not in pain, I'm in no rush. He did say don't wait so long the next time. Don't worry doc, I won't.

Did you check where he graduated from? And not for NOTHING. As far as I can tell you usually cannot tell where the doctor was in his class.

No worries about the deer jokes, Nucky. I've learned through quite a few things people would consider tragic that stuff happens in life and there's NOTHING you can do about it but move forward.

But you did remind me that the last incident (my nephew's accident) occured 16 years ago. Where does the time go? Makes one realize how precious time is and I needed that reminder today. Seems that my bad attitude about work has flowed over to the home front and according to the Nucky Manual of Total Love and Romance, that's a big no-no.

Wow nothing but so much sorrow for one family to endure. Too much.

This is like the line from the movie Tommy Boy:

Tommy: Did you hear I finally graduated?
Richard: Yeah, and just a shade under a decade too, all right.
Tommy: You know a lot of people go to college for seven years.
Richard: I know, they’re called doctors.

NOTHING but a funny movie

NOTHING but a funny movie

I have about 14 years of taking university or community college classes of some kind from 1976 through 1991. Did not take anything in Fall 1984- Spring 1985. Every other year though. NOTHING but lots of classes.

Classes in Spanish, German, Italian, Chinese, Russian, Japanese, and French. Did audit and/or drop some of these.
