3-ish sounds great, Kristin!

Yeah, it's really cool...(/funk likes carrots.)

Hurray! I'll call you and get your address (minor detail) before I leave.

ETA: I just bought it on iTunes. I totally recognized it once I heard a snippet. YAY funky birthday song!

Me: "Calcutta" by Lawrence Welk--who was bounced by Del Shannon's "Runaway". If I'd only held on a couple of days.

I got lucky, sandwiched between Neil Diamond and the Partridge Family.

My birthday song: Oh! My Pa-Pa (O Mein Papa) by Eddie Fisher, the next week it was Secret Love by Doris Day. Man am I old. DH's is I Feel Fine by the Beatles.

eta: Brendon Black or White - Michael Jackson Bobby Stay (I Missed You) - Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories

I'm back home. All stuffed up from allergies I think. Blah.

If I liked the doctor well enough, I probably wouldn't leave, because it's hard to find a new one, but I sure would talk about it, and talk about the office practices that drive you batty, too. I've done that with our pediatricians more than once, and to their credit, they've been open to listening, and the problems usually seem to get addressed.

I like the doctor. I like her bedside manner. The fact that I left without a script on Friday is partially her fault, partially mine. The fact that I called the office at 4 o'clock to get the script called in and was pretty much told "it ain't going to happen" is unacceptable. As is the lack of weekend on-call service. I'm going to discuss this with her. DH thinks that it would be difficult to find another practice that doesn't have issues, too, so unless we can get a sterling recommendation from one of our friends, it's probably going to be useless to switch practices.

And the rash is starting to break out on my back, which is going to suck. Feh.

"Fire" by the Ohio Players was apparently the #1 song the day I was born. I've never even heard of it.

I think you've probably heard it. Burger King used it in an ad for flame broiling. "Fiiiiiiiire. Bawmp mmm bawmp Fiiiiiiire."

"Cracklin' Rosie" by Neil Diamond was #1 the day I was born. Oh, how apt!

Cash, we must be almost the same time! I dodged that bullet in favor of the Jackson 5.

He's so fine for me

dh gets Blue Velvet which I can't wait to tell him

Oh, dear heavens, I'm on the phone with my mother, and she is telling me about "Feature Films for Families" - some video(s) she was given that include not only harmless movies, but a "Parents' Discussion Guide" for each one. Not that this is a bad thing, but why, oh why is she reading the questions to me, AFTER my observation that the questions all sound like the ones that used to come with the stories in my elementary school reading books?

I think you should give her random answers like "42", "pomogranete , " the state of the universe" and "blue"
