This is Thursday
October 13, 2016 and I just called Mom and she knows nothing about the dental
billing. Judy has never contacted her
about it. I said I’d call her when I
have the bill in my hands and can break it down for her. Mom has been keeping up with the three
debates and listening to news commentary about them. She’s also aware of all the sexual stalking
stuff Trump has been accused of. He goes
into women’s dressing rooms at beauty pageants and some of the females are only
fifteen years old and Trump piers in and oogles them. I gets a “free look” because he owns the
pageant and can do whatever he wants.
Now other preachers are saying that Trump has become a born again
Christian in the last couple of years and is not the man he used to be. But like Bill Clinton he’s pushing seventy
years old and his sex drive probably isn’t what it used to be. So his “moral reform” is more dictated by
biology than moral conscience. The
general concencus of the polls is that Clinton beat Trump in the last debate
57% to 34% for Trump. And this is the
“debate where Trump did well’ according to Shawn Hannity. So what did he do in the first debate? Tim Cane was much more substantive than Mike
Pence in the vice presidential debate.
We still have nearly four weeks to go.
There are still another three and a half weeks to go before we go off of
Daylight Savings time. Both events are
late this year. But this week early
voting has already begun in a lot of states.
This is obviously significant because Hillary is way ahead in the polls
now and therefore these votes are being “banked”. They say that requests for Democratic ballots
are up fifty percent over four years ago.
Well so far the “master
plan” to defeat the trio of master criminals on Days of our Lives has worked
out about as well as Donald Trump making the decision to follow Shawn Hannity’s
advice. So far we have Lucas and Adrian
busting in on Andre, Clyde and company and they defeated the Di Mira security
system completely. And Clyde shot Chad
just to show that me meant business in demanding that son Thomas be handed over
to him. You have Demas turning to the
dark side by promising to turn over Teresa in exchange for getting paid passage
out of the country for Zander. That’s
kind of a lose-lose situation. And you
have Brady and Teresa playing fantasy wedding when after Teresa is killed it’s
predicted that Brady will turn to drugs again rendering him unfit to rule the
Kiriacus empire. So far Orphius is lying
low not divulging what plans he has for the people of Salem. I went out and got one cup of iced tea and
two orange slices in the courtyard.
Later I turned on Shawn Hannity.
At three it was Dick K substituting again for Norman Goldman. It isn’t the first time I’ve had dental work
done on Yom Kippur, which is where Norm is today. So I guess he’s more Jewish than we thought.
Today the soap opera
was preempted by Officer Owens’ funeral.
Have you ever wondered what Jesus’ funeral was like? Because in Jewish society they said they
tried to bury the body the same day. So
they most have invoked God in some way to speed Jesus off to a successful
after-life and refered to him as a “servant of God”. Have you ever wondered about those seventy
disciples Jesus sent out to cast out demons in his name, referred to in the
Gospels? How could a movement of even
that size be not noted in history with seventy evangelists running around out
there. And if there were two thousand
saved at Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came down the first thing I thought of
(well actually I just thought ot it today) would be these are two thousand “sheep”
in need of a teacher, or some might say- - fleecing. If there ever was a point where there was
egalitarianism in the church I don’t know when that was because right from the
git go there was the notion being “sold” to the public of this great object of
belief.
Today is October 12,
2016 and last night it was ABC news and Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. I took inventory of the laundry and made out
a list on a fresh slip of paper. The
basket was returned before six thirty this morning. Everything was there minus the list. I decided not to try and get coffee from Glenda
last night. However I did get coffee
from Glen again, this time for three cigarettes. It wasn’t as strong as Monday night’s
cup. I watched NCIS and dozed off toward
the end of the program. The sun shines
over the Washington monument just a little before sunset on March 25th
every year, and in the fall, too. There
was a different show of a similar nature at nine. I didn’t sleep too badly. I didn’t try to get coffee from Glenda in the
morning and decided to wait until the store opened. I threw out those Republican ads I got with
my voting stuff. So is proposition 61
initiated by an HMO organization or not?
I brushed my teeth
before and after breakfast. I got a
dollar cup of coffee from the liquor store and took it into the dining
room. We had oatmeal followed by
scrambled eggs and French toast. I
didn’t get any extras from Paul. I was
kind of planning on our leaving for the dentist really early. But it turns out that Federico had already
taken Stan for his dialysis. I was
around a little after nine and Sarah took me and Mary to see our respective
doctors. Her appointment wasn’t till ten
fifteen. Mine was at nine thirty. I got there early and had a smoke. The weather was overcast in the morning and
through the middle part of the day, clearing by two o clock.
There was no idle
time. Again Dr Bui did not do the
work. His assistant was that blonde
assistant who had worked in the other building.
Before he got started they took two more X rays because the dentist said
the cavity was very large and might need a root canal. But this was the last I heard about having to
do a root canal. It was very intensive
with a lot of drilling and there was even filling going on, which puzzled
me. Then there was other picking and
stuff and then the impressions were made and then drilling on the new crown
getting it to fit right. I was done at
ten to eleven. I had the receptionist
call the office. At first there was no
answer. Then Jennifer answered and said
she would text the driver, which turned out to be Sarah. Since I wasn’t picked up till nearly twenty
after twelve or nearly an hour and a half wait I wondered what went wrong. I had the receptionist call Judy but I didn’t
talk to her myself. Sarah has a lot of
gall because she accused me of being impatient and suggested that next time I
take a taxi cab. How do you like
that? She was with Connie the whole time
with her appointment. I was a little
bewildered. Then we picked up Mary
across the street (Brookhurst). Then I
had Sarah call Judy and cancel the pick-up of me, because Paul was already on
his way. Connie and I went straight into
the dining room for our micro-waved lunch.
It was a hamburger and two things of potato salad and we had chocolate
pudding for dessert. There was also
grape drink but no coffee. Mary had her
meal served to her in her room. Maybe
she has scabies or something. By now it
was getting close to ten to one and I had a chance to smoke a cigarette before
soap opera time. I bit my inner cheek
because she frequently told me to bite down.
The whole area is swollen now.
