> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > Dunno if I ever mentioned this, but eons ago when I was working the mid-shift in San Diego, I’d occasionally go to San Diego Clippers games with my coworker friend Nita. She was a \*HUUUUUUUUUUGE \*fan who knew the players and understood the rules. She did her best to educate me, with mixed results. Digging deep in my memory, I think 2 of her favorites (she’d drool when they came on the ice) were Gordie Howe and Andre LaCroix. We’d go to a game, then go to work all hoarse from yelling. Ah, good times… Um, the San Diego Clippers were a basketball team. As far as I know the only hockey ever in San Diego was minor league. So, I wonder where and what you went to? But never mind. I’m just happy it’s Hockey Time again. Your post just made me curious. ---

The doctor never called me back to tell me what to do about missing a dose of one pill and double dosing on two others. I took the missed dose. not sure how to handle the double doses so I think I’ll just pretend it didn’t happen and go back to what I am supposed to do ---

How does flying in a balloon, however strangely shaped, compare to being injured in a soccer game? ---

I’m up too early. Damn bladder, and it’s pouring rain. Not my bladder, outside it’s pouring rain. I hope the rain stops by the time I need to load up. **Flytrap** the pills I was worried about were Plavix and Lisinopril. I take them at 10am but accidentally took a second dose at 10pm. I didn’t know if I should take them again at 10am or skip that dose and pick up at 10am the next morning. I didn’t want to take too much of either but I don’t know if it’s okay to go more than 24 hours without them. ---

> [@kayT](#): > > Um, the San Diego Clippers were a basketball team. As far as I know the only hockey ever in San Diego was minor league. So, I wonder where and what you went to? You’re right - brain fart here, plus this all happened back in the mid-70s… It was the San Diego Mariners. (I looked it up.) The Clippers were the Baltimore hockey team when I was a kid. Pay no attention to the old woman blathering on about her youth… 😛 \*\*doggio \*\*- I knew for whom Gordie is named - DUH!!! 😛 For some reason, my bladder thinks I need to get up at 4 to ease its strain. And shortly thereafter, Higgs wants to tend to her bladder. I don’t think I’ll ever sleep in again!! But I’ve breakfasted and I’m caffeinating and I’ve got a morning of laundry ahead of me - rah! \*\*FCD \*\*is meeting with a new dentist today. He’s fed up with the other one who kept screwing up his crowns and temporary crowns, so I found another who takes our insurance. If he likes this practice, I may change - we shall see… Meanwhile, onward into the day. Happy Tuesday!! ---

\*\*sari \*\*- I take lisinopril, and as a non-medical professional, I think skipping to the next correct dose time would be fine. I believe it’s one of those things that builds up in your system, so waiting the extra time shouldn’t deplete its effect. At least, that’s how I’d treat a similar situation. But since I’m not your doctor and I don’t have the same meds and/or issues, I can’t possibly know what I’m talking about. So feel free to ignore me. 😃 ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 57 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 85 for the day. Highs are goin’ back up to the upper 80s over the next few days, so I have made the executive decision to close windows and turn on the A/C. Figure I might as well go ahead start today. **Sari** so, if the bitchsters keep this up and you end up not in this house, they will pay for you to move to another house. SWEET! 😃 Ok, I know it won’t work like that but they will definitely take a hurt from the sounds of it all. Ok, that’s all I got. I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy is hongry. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence. Happy Tuesday Y’all! ---

Well, **FairyChatMom** , I’m glad it was hockey you saw anyhow. Much better than the (perennial loser) Clippers basketball. Thanks for the welcome, **dogbutler**. I have been a Blackhawks fan and Kings fan for many years but having moved to Texas I have to root for the Dallas Stars as well as the Texas Stars who play right here in Cedar Park, only five minutes from us. And yay for them, winners of the 2014 Calder Cup. We have totally enjoyed watching minor league hockey and it’s also fun to see a player move from Cedar Park to Dallas and then thrive. Yay for development leagues. ---

I may not be a major sports nut, but I do know the difference between hockey and basketball - one uses sticks, one wears shorts. 😃 It smells like it wants to rain. Of course it does - I just put 8 pairs of jeans out on the line to dry… ---
