Good story but..... not really true, except in the land of internet legends. http://www.snopes.com/movies/other/mgmlion.asp
Just got home from watching local theater production of the musical version of Young Frankenstein. I loved it, but I gotta say, it felt a little creepy knowing that the girl playing Inga is just a high school senior.
It's great that you've come so far that you can send out job applications. It can't have been easy, so well done and good luck going forward.
I am seriously annoyed right now, at a doctor who just isn't listening. I have sleep apnea, so I was sent to a pulmonologist, to get clearance for upcoming knee surgery. Unsurprisingly, he wants me to use a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine. This is a common treatment with which I had poor results in the past. I would fall asleep for about 3 hours and then wake up, for no apparent reason. No one, to date has worked very hard at trying to explain this to me and I have no reason to believe that this attempt will be any better than the last one. My issue with this doctor is that he keeps fixating on the assumptions that either the breathing mask is uncomfortable or that I am phobic of it. Neither is true and I have told him so, more than once. He gets one more office visit to redeem himself, after which I suspect I will be finding another doctor. OK, done ranting.
I never liked my CPAP, I didn't sleep any better with it. Doctors that don't listen are irritating. I've always had elevated blood pressure. I failed the physical for a NROTC scholarship as a senior in high school (many years ago) due to elevated blood pressure. I was 6'-2" and weighed 165 lbs, played tennis on the tennis team 3+ hours a day. Doctors always tell me to lose weight to lower my blood pressure. I tell them this history and I can tell they either don't believe me or aren't listening.
Thanks for telling me that; I'm sorry you have had frustrations, but it's frankly a relief to know I am not alone in this. While I do need to lose weight (for many reasons), it's no guarantee that it will resolve the problem, as 40% of sleep apnea sufferers are NOT overweight.
Linda and I are taking a 230 mile round trip antique trek. We'll hit some stores we haven't been to in over 6 years, before I was looking for razors. Fingers crossed.
Trying to watch Avengers: Age of Ultron and realizing how badly written it is, even on it's own terms.
