Return of the Cruising Bunny's....

[Negc]

I can sympathize with you, K2, for showing up for your doctor's appointment a week early. I did the same thing last month but I was only a day early.
The Celtics came back with a vengeance last night and took the lead over the Bucks from the start of the game. Looked like a totally different team from the one that played on Sunday. All tied up 1-1. Now the teams have three days before they play again so it will be interesting to see which team makes the best use of their time off.
Another gloomy day and so far May is seeming much more like March or April than it should. The seasons just aren't behaving the way we have become used to.
I have a list of my medications as well. However, all my medical providers already have that list, which hasn't changed in a while, so when I see them, I usually just let them go through their list and confirm that nothing has changed. Do you all get a monthly report from Medicare listing all of the medical and prescription bills that you have incurred during the previous time period. Got mine the other day and it is amazing to see some of the info, especially: 1) the amount billed by the provider vs. the amount approved by Medicare, and then the amount actually paid by Medicare and the amount, if any, you might be billed for. There were some bills from my time in the ER in Vero Beach, where the amount billed was in the high hundreds, the amount approved in the tens, and the amounts I might be billed were ZERO. Crazy.

Good afternoon. Had my Dr appt this morning about my hands and sleep. Well I can take 2 of the sleeping pills if I need. As to the hands keep up with the gel and she was calling in a Rx for the pain. I don't go back until early Oct.

Negc, it was announced today that Friday will be the last day for Dino's restaurant, they have sold it but have no idea what the new owners will be doing there. So we will see.

After the Dr appt I went to the new Sprouts and while I did not buy any veggies I did get a few things, one being rolls for subs, so dinner tonight will be Cheese Steak subs. Have to cut the meat in a bit and season it.

All have a great day.

Nancy, sad to hear about Dino's being sold. While we were in Vero this past winter we only made it there three times but enjoyed each of the meals we had.
St. Patrick's Day Corned Beef and Cabbage was especially good and I was glad that we got there shortly after they opened that day, because by the time we finished eating and left, there was a long line of people waiting to be seated.
Hope that whoever buys it will continue to provide great food and service.
Not sure why, but the power is out again in the neighborhood.

It’s still in the 50’s here and partly cloudy.
I made us a nice Asparagus/cheese quiche for dinner. Smells so good in here!

Bill here’s the pic of the Romaine I’m growing from a cut off! This is one week & a few days old! Amazing!

G’nite from The Burg my friends.

 

[fatherdav55]

May the 5th be with you.......Especially if it's vodka.

Hoping that eye is feeling better today Lee, after it got "zapped". When does the other one get done?

I'm beginning to think that eating, thinking about upcoming eating, and thinking about places to go to eat is a form of cat-nip for seniors.

I too always have a list of my medications on me when I visit doctors. Hell, I can't remember the names of all of them. And I too get a monthly report of how much I've medically spent of my and the insurance's money.

K2; I'm also sick that the Supreme Court may soon outlaw legal abortions. Every woman should be able to make that decision without the government deciding what she can do with her own body. The Catholic church is totally against abortion,but even in that group many people still believe the decision to have one is personal. I enjoy hearing about people who are against abortion, but still think it's still only the business of each individual woman.

Grocery shopping day. The only oddballer on our shopping list is some Key Lime Pie ice cream, made by a local dairy, and was advertised in the local paper.

 

[A’Burg Guy]

Happy Cinco De Mayo.

We we’re looking at pictures from a year ago. All of the plants and flowers were much further along than they are this year. It’s just been so cold and wet.
That’s both eyes done now Dave. I go for a pressure recheck next week but I can get that done here. Key Lime party at your place. Key Lime Ice cream, M&M’s and pie.
Seeing that lettuce is one of those things that I find amazing Kathie. Great picture of Marty Feldman.
Hopefully the restaurant Nancy and Bill have mentioned will, if it stays in business, keep up the quality and not change things up too much.
Any success reaching out to all of the doctors for the info for today’s appointment Pat? Good on Gary for footing the pizza bill.
What will all of the Boston area sports teams all on the go how many TV’s do you have so you don’t miss any of the games Bill?
Another day closer to the bathroom project being completed Karen. That’s the one room I really don’t like painting. It always seems so cramped.
Sadly it seems that lawmakers in The US are about to make a giant step backwards. Once again, I just don’t get it.
Signing off for now. I forgot my morning eye drop so I best do that straight away.
You all have a good, safe day.

 

[Bellalago Belle]

Quick good morning. Getting ready to head out the door to the doctor's office. I'll be back later.

 

[nlb1050]

Good morning. Other than going to pick up a couple of Rx's this afternoon no plans.

All have a great day.

 

[Negc]

We have three TVs in the house but pretty much confine our viewing to two of them. The hockey and basketball playoffs are pretty well spaced out and with the way that the Red Sox have opened the season, we don't encounter many conflicts, Lee.
Bright and sunny today for a change and it may end up being the best day of the week because the forecast for the remainder of the week and weekend is not promising.
That's an amazing picture of the lettuce, K2. I'm not much for green leafy vegetables but I have to admit that your Romaine lettuce looks almost good enough to eat.
Boston's famous Swan Boats went back into the water in the Public Garden this week. The same family has been operating them for 150 years and they, along with the "Make Way for Ducklings" statues are a great tourist attraction especially for families with young children.
Off in a while to get a well-needed haircut.

 

[K2-Mich]

So today we are all pretending to be Mexican! Ole!

Lee: You get Kudo's for finding a Cinco de Mayo video for today. You never cease to amaze me. Hope the eye is going to be much better for you.

DAVE: Careful eating so much Key Lime stuff.......you're going to go SOUR on us!

NECG: Green lettuce is good for you. You should try to eat more of it. Hope the haircut turns out just as you want it to.

PAT: Can't wait to hear all about your Dr's visit. Hope you had enough of the required paperwork.
I called to make a 12 yr Colonoscopy appt yesterday and had to send them a photo of the prescription from the doctor and now I wait until they check out my insurance and they'll call ME BACK and let me know when in JUNE I can schedule the procedure. That has to be the craziest set up I've ever gone through.

Okay, I'm out of here for now.
The rest of you WRABBITS have a good day.

KAREN: Hope you get to go into the pool today. It's sunny here, but still cold. This is getting old real fast. Mother's day is suppose to be warmer.

 

[A’Burg Guy]

Oh no! A ship loaded with Hellman's just went to the bottom of the ocean.
Yep, "Sinko de Mayo".
Again, you had to "sea" that one coming!
Thanks for the reminder Bill. I need to get a hair cut too! It'll be a lot more than I paid in FL.
Yes Kathie, the eye is doing a tad better. Seemed funny that the better of the two to start with is being the most troublesome to get back to normal. I have a song for colonoscopy's too.
Good luck at the doc's office Pat!
I find the "no plans" days often turn out to be the busiest Nancy.
Gonna go check out the car vacuum. It's making funny noises. I suspect something is caught in the hose. I guess I'm giving the vacuum a colonoscopy of it's own.
Be good folks.

 

[Bellalago Belle]

Good afternoon, everyone!

Now about my doctor's appointment ... This is the first time ever that the appointment was finished just at the time the appointment was supposed to start. This doctor is really good and makes notes on everything you tell him. He did also get the files from my doctors that I had requested. As of right now, I have to go back tomorrow for an ultrasound of both legs and if he finds too much of a problem, such as a blockage, he might use a stent, but will definitely not do surgery due to my lung condition. Stay tuned for the next adventure!!

Lee - Glad the eye is feeling a bit better. How did I know you would bring up "Sinko the Mayo"?

Kathie - Elaine and I plan to try growing that lettuce like you did. She said that she'll have to remember this for next year in school. Too late this year to do it as school gets out in 15 days for the summer.

Nancy - Enjoy your day of doing nothing.

Dave - That key lime pie ice cream sounds delicious. Actually. it makes me want to have some kind of ice cream right now! Unfortunately, we're all out of ice cream here at the house.

Karen - Forgot to tell you how much I like your new profile picture. You were a little cutie!

Got a few hours before I have to start the taco making process. Bert & I will get to eat them alone, as the rest of the gang won't eat until they get back from Elaine's son's baseball game. It's their last game so she figures tha she should attend at least one game. At least we'll have a relaxing dinner!! LOL

 

[K2-Mich]

LEE.........save the Colonoscopy video for when it gets closer to the appt. I saw some GIF's on the subject, but they were a tad too much even for me to share!

I took out a flank steak last night and might try and make something Mexican out of it. I'm thinking of grilling it outside and slicing it over a nice salad.
We are trying to CUT BACK in this house on Carbs!

Pat: Glad the doctors appt worked out. HOPE he can help the TOE issue and the pain.

Later gang. We hit 59F here finally. Whooppee.

 

[Negc]

Enjoying the closest thing we have had to a beautiful Spring day, at least while it lasts, which isn't likely to extend even as far as tomorrow.
My Prius is acting more like its normal stuff now that we are home and the MPGs have gone back to the 50mpg level it was getting before we went to Florida and I replaced all four tires. Given the price of gasoline, the increased mileage figure is a godsend.
Haircut went well and got a couple of errands done while I was out.
Red Sox blew another lead last night and the Bruins lost and are down 0-2 in the NHL playoffs, so it looks like we may have to depend on the Celtics to keep our attention focused on professional sports for a bit.

Good evening, finally getting a chance to check in...been crazy the last couple days & tomorrow will be a repeat of the same...
Barb's bath remodel is finally winding down...I went there yesterday to do the primer coat on the walls & new drywall...and funny story...a couple months ago I had gone to Walmart to buy a cheap can of white paint to use for primer, I couldn't find any that said white...but they had a can called Clean Sheets..I thought for sure that would be white or possibly off white...open the can yesterday & it looks grey...I thought well...it just needs stirred more...nope...still looked grey..oh well..it's only primer so I went ahead & started painting the wall behind where the toilet will go & around the new shower surround...Barb came in to look at it a little while later & decided she liked the color so well around the white shower she wanted to leave it that color...it dried a really pretty soft grey & makes the white shower really POP! The other 2 walls will be the pale blue she had bought...not sure how the 2 colors will look together but I'm just the painter, not the designer...
Wes got the ceiling painted today & the LVP floor down & the baseboard molding put on...it looks amazing!! Tomorrow I will take the chair rail down with me for him to put up & paint the 2 walls & closet...the plumbers are scheduled to come either Tues or Wed to finish the shower, set the new toilet & re-set the pedestal sink...and her bathroom will finally be finished...except for a few minor things like putting up the new shower rod & shelves in the closet...will be just a few days shy of a 2 month project....I can't wait to see the finished project...
Spent a few hours at the pool today with Jane, Barb & Wendy for our early Mother's Day get together...the pool temp said 86 but it still felt cool to me...but the sun was blazing...I'm ready for a nap now...have not been sleeping good the last couple nights and it's starting to bug me...catch up with you all tomorrow...

 

[K2-Mich]

Karen: Fantastic post on the Bathroom Update. Nice that the Clean Sheet color worked out. I think it will be a nice contrast once it’s all done and put together.
Glad you got to go in the pool.

We had fantastic Fajita’s made with the grilled flank steak. I made some onions & peppers to go with it. Tasted better than our Mexican restaurant. And we didn’t have to wait in a long line!

I talked to my best friend Elaine earlier and she offered me her bicycle that is basically new. It’s been hanging in her condo basement along with Mike’s for years. I just hope it works out. That would save me looking around for a replacement for my bike. I love my bike, but the frame is just a tad too high for me.

Okay, you all have a good evening and hope the entire Bunny Hutch SLEEPS well tonight. I think we should install piped in soft music to help us all out!

Negc: Your hair cut looks good!

 

[fatherdav55]

Oh phooey!

I mentioned yesterday I'd be picking up a container of Key Lime Pie ice cream. NOPE, none were there when we got to the grocery store. Other people must have seen the newspaper add too, and beat me to it.

Everyone gets their grass cut at a height they like. I definitely don't agree with a local lawn-care company. They were handing out a card showing their recommended mowing height. 3 1/2 half inches in hot weather and 2 1/2 inches in colder weather. WAY too high for this guy.

So, so close to the end of Barb's bathroom remodel, KC. I sure hope she hasn't thought up another project for you, once the bathroom is done.

BB; Even a stent or two in your legs would make moving easier.

Any of you heard of or drank any "Tito's Handmade Vodka". It's made in Austin, Texas. Our nephew/contractor swears by it. He was over a couple of days ago, since he'll be making us new steps out the back of the house. Only 3 steps but they need to be shorter than usual for the dogs. Back to the vodka...I looked up "Tito's" on the internet. Quite an interesting backstory on the fella who started the company 25 years ago. He was winging it when he first got started. Didn't even know how to make a still. He only knew that he wanted to make a vodka that was so smooth you could drink it straight.

 

[Bellalago Belle]

Good morning! Another hot day coming at us. Heck, it's 85 here already and heading for about 95!

Dave - That sounds like an interesting vodka. There used to be someone in this group who lives in Sweden. His son developed, bottled and sold vodka! Never got to try it though. Sorry they didn't have any more of that key lime ice cream. Might they be getting more in?

Karen - I bet Barb is thrilled to see the bathroom project winding down. Glad you got a chance to go to the pool yesterday with our posse. I do hope with this intense heat we're having, I hope you finally broke down and have your AC running around the clock.

Kathie - I love fajitas. Glad yours turned out so well, My crew devoured the tacos last night. Bert & I ate at our regular time. The rest of the gang didn't get home from the baseball game until about 9:30 and said they were starving. I guess they were, as they barely left anything for today. Plus they also ate half the pan of meatball stroganoff that was left from the night before. I'll be glad when they get into their new home. They're taking us broke on food!!!

Better plan on an earlier lunch today, so I can get ready to head to the doctor's office. Have a wonderful Friday!

 

[nlb1050]

A late good morning. I took one pain pill, one sleeping pill and one Melatonin last night and got a real good sleep, in fact I did not get up until 9:40 this morning. The pain pill did help my hands so I did take one this morning. I can take 2 a day twelve hours apart.

A bit after 10 I got a Mother's Day gift from Jennifer, a large bottle of wine and a 4 flight small bottles of a different wine.

Today Max was able to wear regular clothes to school as once school is done for the day the Eighth grade boys are heading to Universal Studios for their final field trip. The will be there until midnight then come home so it is about 2 am when Jennifer will pick him up at school.

Tomorrow morning we will get what is hopefully the last of the rock for the driveway.


Dave I have heard of Tito's Vodka, will have to try it some time.

BB it is 95 right now here
All have a great day.
