A few days ago on Tuesday, Maw went to her doctor’s appointment. I didn’t have my inquiries answered by the doctor as expected because the primary care physician is supposed to be the one “in charge” of the patient’s health. The doctor knows how to read the charts, takes the time to understand how the patient responds to these medications and formulate a solution. But all I got (as expected): “I don’t know.” And that generic answer is to COVER HIS ASS. And all he could do to COVER HIS ASS is to say little to nothing, order a bloodwork and expect the primary care physician and/or the other specialists to figure things out. Now health care shouldn’t be this complicated. But for whatever reason, the “hub” that Maw has doesn’t seem to be “knowledgeable” or all that “concerned” about the results other than “take a couple of these or try that” and “don’t call me in the morning” or “we’ll call you”. So far medical PRACTICES do NOT cure! Surgeries help but not by much either.

Right thumb better…
A few minutes ago, I was dispensing my late night snack of Apple Jack in a glass of milk. I noticed the black/blue vein sitting atop the middle of my right thumb joint. So I decided to give it a “traction” treatment by pulling the top digit and holding it steady while I gave my right hand a twist!
Praise “God”! Now the joint in my right thumb slides smoother without a “stop” during a mid-bend of the digit. Thusly, the angry vein has settled nicely back into place. I have suffered many years by my own hands during work — using my right thumb to process keyboard entries.
Now I am relearning how to type by using my left thumb to press the “space bar” right now. It’s working well! However, I am concerned mobile blogging will set the thumb out of its place. If only there is a technology that is better than the Swype keyboard, I wouldn’t resort to my thumbs for entries ever again!

New impressions…
At 1:30pm, I paid $175 for a new pair of night guards to protect my teeth from further damage by grinding while sleeping. A few minutes later I was called to the back and show the dental assistance the two holes on the backs of this medical device, which used to cost $125 at 3/6/2007 and picked up one week later at 3/13/2007. I told them how the unit oozed/leaked out material and used to look white with gas bubbles.
So the girl took two impressions of my upper teeth. The backmost tooth on the right didn’t have enough pink putty. So she tried again after fitting various trays of dark green (#5), a metal tray, a big plastic tray that hurt/stretched the left corner of my mouth. The light green tray was smaller than the number five, but myteriously it wasn’t labeled.
So on 7/25/2011, I’ll have a new retainer to wear while sleeping. (Maw and Paw were watching the Food Network, giggled between themselves; while I took notes of three recipes).

Mr. Landau has a great voice during "America's Got Talent". He used to be a car washer, dressed in jeans and performed in front of a live audience. The three judges sent him to the next level. Hopefully, he will get gigs to sing to many more people.

No patience…
“You have no “cha-ga”! Whenever you have no patience something happens. You have no “cha-ga”! You have no patience.” ~Maw freaking out in the back seat again and everyday! She’s short-circuiting, typical of sensitive old timers.
Paw and I bought a $5.00 Pepperoni pizza from Little Caesar pizza. The Chinese kid didn’t ring up the order properly for a visual of $5.41 and didn’t give us our receipt, except crinkle it and throw it away: That’s not nice service. This franchise is next to King’s Eggrolls. Anyway, what do you expect from a fast-food pizza joint that just barely started up in MY neighborhood?
Anyway, I didn’t want to wait for the traffic to pass, backed out to take the long route back, ended up making a U-turn within the parking lot, got a narrow exit between a parked truck to my left, an incoming vehicle and parked cars to my right.
My mind wanted to scream at the crone: “Your asthma is your karma for mouthing off criticism to your family every day! If you just shut your trap, you might be able to breathe better and get more oxygen to your stubborn brain!”
Actually, I do have patience — over ten slong years of waiting for the fat bastard to act on his promises and guarantees. But like any politicians, our government has ways of creating snags that delays the inevitable.

Liking thumb-log…
I like my new WordPress.com theme “Manifest” because of the single column, no-side bar template. It’s good to view this “full site” via cellphone vertically, instead of horizontally. The header, menu bar, content and side bar all line up in descending order and the readers don’t have to use a scrollbar at the bottom! I think the word I’m looking for to describe my preferred theme is a “thumble-log” feature. I want more themes with “Theme Options” for tumble-log viewablility.

20110715-Dream Journal
I had two dreams this morning.
One was outdoors in our backyard. The size was the same but felt larger. Maw was sitting in a chair and on the lawn. In place of the four fruit trees, there were three or four two-story gaming stations, which were vertical plastics of white. I played at the 2nd station from the right, nearness the shared fence of the Chinese neighbors behind us.
One was indoors in our dining room. The brightness was from the small chandalier over the dining table. My brother and I were eating food. He was to my right where Maw usually sits. I sat in Paw’s place.
He ate his portion but left a some white rice an another food stuff on the cream, round plate. He got up and left the table to my right field of vision. I ate my noodles and went over to place the remaining of bean spouts from my plate onto his plate.

New readers…
Well, it’s nice to receive “Comments” and “Likes” on this weblog site. In return, TPTB and pals can “troll” their sites and find out tons of insightful information. So far I have little to no idea (or concern) “who” is reading. But I’ve subscribed to their feed by adding their site to my reader.

Sent email in Outbox…
My VERY first email response via my cellphone is now stuck in the “Outbox”. I don’t know if this will be saved to the chip or not. The only way to “save” an email saved in the Outbox is through the calendar!

Con-trolls group…
“I came across your resume…” ~Lauriean. Right. Why don’t you purge my funky resume from your database and don’t bug anymore! Never mind.
At around 5:32pm, I got a call into voicemail message on a job opportunity. I won’t call back because I didn’t sign any applications or background checks or submit my other verifications for employment.
It’s like a con-sensus of “trolls” who are trying to find out who wants work or not. I might have signed up via email or answering those job boards and submitted my contact information. Trolls!

I've lived in America my whole life. It is still boring. Perhaps living on Antarctica would change my perspective of a boring life outside the country I was born in.
