  1. George Harrison visited Haight-Ashbury once. He was disgusted with all the waste products walking around there. I lived in the Bay area close to 20 years, Hasn't changed, just spread to the whole city.
  2. Corey Wells, who died a few yeas ago, grew up on Lidell St in Buffalo (across from St. John Kanty's and Edwin's music store-Boadway Bailey neighborhood).
  3. He might have met someone I met through my hobby. But maybe not the way they record nowadays. Her name is Elin Carleson. She sang some of the scat that led in and out of the commercials on Glee. She is a professional opera singer and was in a Malcom in the Middle episode where Dewey wrote an opera. She did the opera part in Mr. Blue Sky for a BMW commercial and most famously is the ah aaaaaa on the remastered ST:TOS DVDs.
  4. Got home Tuesday afternoon. 5 weeks. A week in ICU, two week on the renal floor at ECMC (Erie County Medical Center) whee the transplant center is. 10 days at the rehab center/ nursing home attached to ECMC. Did 6 days of PT there to start building up my stamina and strength. Staples (35) and central line came out Tuesday. Have to record my BP, fluid input and output, O2 level , weight and pulse rate myself. Have ton go to renal floor weekly for a while so they can monitor my med levels. To answer some questions, they keep the original kidneys as long as they are not cancerous or actually deteriorating. The dialysis doesn't hurt at all. If you are active it is a BIG inconvenience. You have to remain in one place for 3 hours, but can eat or take a nap or watch TV for 3 hours. After the transplant, I had to ave dialysis 6 times, 3 in the ICU and 3 times on the renal floor. The "new "kidney has to "wake up" and it did after 2 weeks. Started peeing like recehorse after that. I'm 67 Monday and the kidney was from a 40 year old from out of town. The age of the donor is all I know. It was from out of town because I was supposed to have the transplant at 8 PM but when that rolled around, they told me it would be the next morning. It happened at 7:30 AM.
  5. The one with Putin and Trump looks kind of gay to me.
  6. He was a town councilman where I lived in CA (Dublin) in 2012. I have no memory of him even though they televised the council meetings on public accesss TV.
  7. FU Quack. If the transplant team at ECMC is a 100, I would put you at a 2.
  8. A friend that visited me a few weeks ago after my transplant had a heart attack just before Christmas. Hr went back in just after to get a pacemaker. His heart stopped and he hardtop be zapped. He said he had an out of body experience.
  9. Quack MD is one of those docs that years ago would not tell a patient with stage 4 lung cancer that he had cancer. Aside: When I fist typed Quack, it changed it to Suck😀
  10. I can attest to that also. The last few moths of my mother's life, she carried out full conversations with all of her deceased siblings (8), parents,her cousin, who stood up at her wedding, and my godmother who was her best friend for over 60 years. Even her surviving sibling who was active and driving until she died about 4 months later. Usually was about 11 PM. No, I did not hear their sides of the conversation.
  11. All vitals in normal range. Creatinine level (kidney health) headed down (right direction). Had a week of PT. Staples (35) should come out Monday. Incision was 10 inches measured on my skin surface.
  12. Or even a VW bug? He was ready a Senator as his dad was a car dealer. Bribe attempt through Jill?
  13. Molecular Biology. And what I said was from personal experience. I had measles in 1st grade (63-6). Hd rubella (then called the German measles) the next year. As I said, the teacher, would go down the aisle every morning and pull your clothes back to look down your back for the measles. If she saw it, off to the nurse and home for a week. And contrary to what cpu gen ?ers believe , us guys swam in the nude from 6th-12th grade,
  14. Before the vaccine, basically everyone got it. If you didn't et it this year, you likelyl will get it next year. Neve he'd of none dying from it back then.
  15. What a buch of pussies. Back in the 70s we had classes of around 30. Scores were higher. Our class size ('75) was about 2x what it is now. 8 of the teachers in Hamburg are retiring.
