Once upon a time, television viewers would rush to the bathroom or the kitchen during a television commercial, the point being to get back to the boob tube before the entertainment resumed. Ha! Talk about days gone by. Today, it’s possible to build that set of bookshelves you’ve always wanted and still get back for the last of the network promos. All right, all right! Perhaps I exaggerate. It might be necessary to sand and finish your shelves during the next commercial break.
Remember a few weeks ago, I hinted at news from the comic world. I haven’t forgotten. I simply haven’t heard anything yet. I caution you: it’s inside stuff that won’t directly affect you, although it might me. Within a historical context, however, it will be interesting to readers of newspaper comics. I’ll let you know!

….stinking blood pressure monitor and I do not get along……three failed attempts, finally gave up as I didn’t want to raise Dad’s blood pressure. I think I’m going to tell my ‘baby’ sister, who is one of two POA’s to Dad, stop by Wally world, or better yet, Walgreens and get me one of those self activating ones that the home visiting nurse carries with her.
GR, thanks for the link to the sleeping pills. Dad was not under any medication as such when he hit the gas pedal instead of the break pedal when backing out of his driveway, resulting in a crash into the modular home across the street.
That one took Dad’s license away and a total loss on his car not to mention the damage done to the home across street.
I’ve met her, the neighbor across the street, and she is very nice and supportive….said if I and or Dad need anything just to let her know. I really welcomed that.
sand, Ghost, cxp, and emb: I love the Oxford comma. (Not TMI.) It will have to be pried from my cold, dead pencil.
Debbe, sending you good thoughts. Coping with an elder’s sleep-wake changes is difficult. Thank God Ian is there with you.
Weekend!! What’s a weekend? Too funny….

Thank you Smigz. 🙂
Hung up with pharmacist and we are in complete agreement, the prostate issue is overriding the sleeping pill. No more sleep aids…they are sending me an empty bottle, labeled, to put unused pills in.
now this makes better sense….
