Jane - I thought so. But my doctor said fasting wasn't necessary for some reason. He says as long as he knows when I last ate, he can interpret the results accordingly. (One problem he mentioned is that if he tells people to come back having fasted, they somehow don't always do the follow-up visit to get the blood taken, though. I'm paraphrasing incoherently, but I saw his point to some extent.)

Great news elmore & Maria.

FJL · « **Reply #242 on:** April 26, 2006, 06:49:04 PM »

I understood hsi point only to some extent, though.

FJL · « **Reply #243 on:** April 26, 2006, 06:51:58 PM »

But only 130 posts until, in the words of Comden and Green....

FJL I guess it makes sense.

Our doctor gives us a prescription to take to the lab at the local hospital. In some ways it is convenient plus we can look it over first to see if anything was missed.

Five zeroes, preceded by a two

It's two-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh wonderful for words.

FJL · « **Reply #247 on:** April 26, 2006, 06:54:30 PM »

My doctor's lab is right there in his building, so people don't have to go anywhere except drop in to get the blood taken on their way out. There can be a wait, but today there was no wait.

FJL · « **Reply #248 on:** April 26, 2006, 06:54:50 PM »

That is, there was weight, but no wait.

Jane · « **Reply #249 on:** April 26, 2006, 06:55:41 PM »

I must go pack for the wedding in LA. After a ten hour drive home on Monday I will most likely wait until Tuesday to post. Talk to you then.

I’ll still be able to collect my email while we are gone.

The work on the bathroom will continue while we are gone, the tile gal & her guy will stay here & work away.

I'm wondering if my question the other day got lost since it was so late at night. Has anyone stayed at the Marriott Residence Inns? Or heard opinions from anyone who has? I'm looking at hotels for my short jaunt to San Diego in a few weeks, and the Residence Inn in La Jolla is more expensive than the equally convenient Del Mar Inn, but the pictures look lovely.)

TCB · « **Reply #251 on:** April 26, 2006, 07:00:54 PM »

I must go and rest. Good night, all.

FJL · « **Reply #252 on:** April 26, 2006, 07:02:32 PM »

Good night.

FJL · « **Reply #253 on:** April 26, 2006, 07:10:42 PM »

Do we want the 100 posts counting down on the way to 200,000 to be legitimate, content-filled posts....

FJL · « **Reply #254 on:** April 26, 2006, 07:11:21 PM »

Or is it just a question of getting there by hook or by crook?

FJL · « **Reply #255 on:** April 26, 2006, 07:14:33 PM »

I mean we've done fat jokes, we could proceed in reverse alphabetical order and do fart jokes...

FJL · « **Reply #256 on:** April 26, 2006, 07:15:45 PM »

Like the one about going into the gas station and asking for three bucks of gas and the attendant farts in your tank...

FJL · « **Reply #257 on:** April 26, 2006, 07:16:45 PM »

But that might be too low a way to reach a plateau.

FJL · « **Reply #258 on:** April 26, 2006, 07:17:47 PM »

We already did the Plateau's Retreat series of jokes at a previous plateau...

FJL · « **Reply #259 on:** April 26, 2006, 07:18:04 PM »

so that would be redundant

FJL · « **Reply #260 on:** April 26, 2006, 07:18:49 PM »

sort of a Plateau's Repeat.

I haven't stayed at THAT Residence Inn, but I have stayed at the Residence Inn in Des Moines a couple times. I like it. It's a little suite with a kitchen/living room/bedroom. It was nice to be able to cook there.

Cilla, so it's actually like a little apartment?

The pictures make it look great, and something of a major bargain for the space you get. But when it looks too good to be true...

FJL · « **Reply #263 on:** April 26, 2006, 07:27:08 PM »

I wonder if there's some expression for every number in the final-100 countdown, like 100 bottles of beer, 99 luftballoons, 98 degrees.

Probably not, though.

FJL · « **Reply #264 on:** April 26, 2006, 07:28:02 PM »

Shoulda done 110 IN THE SHADE for the 110-to-go post, though!

FJL · « **Reply #265 on:** April 26, 2006, 07:32:14 PM »

108 flubs of lyrics by Reba McIntire in South Pacific, for example.

FJL · « **Reply #266 on:** April 26, 2006, 07:34:41 PM »

Hmmm...if I'm allowed to go on like this, I could reach my post 2000 before the whole board reaches 200,000.

Yeah. They started the chain for people who have to go somewhere on business for long periods of time, so they have a place to cook food instead of going out and a place to sit besides the one side chair or the bed. I went there when I was prepping for a murder trial and wanted to be unreachable with all my files and reports for a few days. It was great.

I am not exactly suffering through this SOUTH PACIFIC....but it isn't a shining moment in American theatre.

Crazyland is a GREAT word!!
