Got an Amazon parcel today, only took about 10 days which is amazing (though the box was bashed in on one side)...except the other half of the order which was shipped the day before this parcel hasn't arrived yet...

I typed a wonderful street name last week - Titwobble.

For the Aussies and jackmaybenimble:

Dad had a call the other day from Inspector Frank Gilroy. I wondered (if he was in the job while ACP was on) if people said "Yeah, right", or "And I'm Shirl", when he introduced himself.

Saw my rheumatologist on Tuesday. He's pretty happy with me, especially since my circulation hasn't been too bad this winter. I've had chilblains, a crop of about 14 on one hand at the same time, plus others which were obviously contact (on the pads of my fingers), but they've managed to resolve themselves. They tend to be worse at the start of winter, it takes a while to get back into the habit of being careful with hot/cold.

He was a little excited because he had something to recommend to me. Another of his patients who suffers badly from chilblains had none this winter. She's been taking a grape seed extract, there's scientific evidence that it strengths the capillaries. The original medication is expensive, but Blackmore's puts out a similar thing, so I'm going to give it a go.

He's a great doctor :)

I've been in love with your rheumatologist for years! ;)

Titwobble?!

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen

He is the most gorgeous thing ;) Been 8 years.

And isn't Titwobble sublime (or ridiculous)! I laughed and told workmates. I told mum and she started doing her Sam the American Eagle version of Tit(willow)wobble Titwobble Titwobble.

I do get the occasional giggle in this job. Like the person with surname Starling who lived in Feather Street. Or the household with 9 people (7 kids) and only one toilet.

Damn Amazon. They were sending me stuff ahead of schedule for a while there, and then suddenly, when I need them, my Queer as Folk dvds are nowhere to be seen!

I'm watching Season 5 Scrubs. What are you watching?

[krazykitkat.livejournal.com]

Only books in this parcel (Firefly companion vol 2). My Picket Fences dvds are in the other one.

I haven't bought s5 Scrubs yet, waiting for it to come down in price. I actually haven't watched my s4 dvds yet.

What am I watching... I've usually got several different shows sitting down under the dvd player, giving me choice depending on how I'm feeling. At the moment the primary occupants are:
- s4 Pretender - haven't watched it in a few months, lost interest nearly half way through
- s3 H:LOTS - I need to be awake for it, so unfortunately not really happening at the moment
- s1 Police Rescue - the first ep worried me, thought I wasn't going to like it as much as I remembered, but watched another 2 eps and I'm back into it - actually a really good show for me at the moment, exciting enough to keep me awake, but doesn't require too much mental exercise
- s2 ER - 1.5 eps to go. This is my 'watch when mum's not ready and I have 10 minutes to kill' show. Doesn't really lose anything watching over an episode over a couple of nights.

Haven't started Cagney and Lacey yet, going to watch it with mum. We're watching s1 of St Elsewhere at the moment, which I'm really enjoying.

I should pull out the half hour show dvds I've got and watch for variety. Scrubs, Muppet Show, Murphy Brown, Mad About You...

I'm impressed you can switch between shows. I get stuck into the vibe of one show and I don't like to chnage until I've finished the season. My Queer as Folk dvds got here yesterday (on a Saturday???) but I feel the need to finish season 5 of Scrubs before I watch it. Yeah, it's all a mania.

and the Muppet Show! Awesome. I loved those.

[krazykitkat.livejournal.com]

I don't have the best attention span (I find movies a little difficult, paying attention for that long). That said, I do tend to get caught up in a show, and will tend to watch it more, rather than chopping and changing all the time. So I'd say I usually only have two shows going at once, with occasional forays into others.

2nd season Muppet Show is out later in the year.

Frank n Shirl!!!

Ha!!!

I'm still trying to find torrents to no avail...will let you know when I do.

[krazykitkat.livejournal.com]

Just so amused that I can say Frank Gilroy rang my house :)

Dad actually met Brian Wenzel (and I think maybe Shane Withington (Brendan)) when dad was the responding cop at a break-in at Wendy Strethlow's (nurse Judy Loveday) house.

[jackmaybenimble.livejournal.com]

Oh I had a serious love for Shane Withington. So serious in fact, that I'd forgotten all about it until you mentioned it and now I've come over all unnecessary...

Plus, there is still a wombat in my kitchen

[athena4lynn.livejournal.com]

That's awesome news!! YAY!

[krazykitkat.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping... Started on them tonight. Not cheap, mum managed to find the cheapest at $23 for a month's supply.

[stare-me-out.livejournal.com]

My grandparents names are Frank and Shirley and people still make the ACP connection, like 15 years later.

Your rheumatologist FTW!

[krazykitkat.livejournal.com]

Hehehehe!

I love my rheumatologist to death :) He's always on the look out for anything that might help, or anyone with similar problems (since I'm a little unique).

I've heard about that grape seed extract too - don't know a hell of a lot about it, but if it helps with reducing chilblains it'd definitely be worth trying.

[krazykitkat.livejournal.com]

Looks like it was the bernaise sauce and not the tablets that caused my indigestion. *knock on wood*

I'm hopeful.
