On or about 09-02-09 15:20, Ardith Hinton allegedly uttered "Physio...
 1." to
James Bradley:

 AH>            Please, "house that holds my precious
 AH> possessions"!  Crap is other people's stuff which the
 AH> speaker doesn't have any immediate use for....  :-))

I was co-addicted to auctions back in the day. I'm finding a lot of crap.

 JB>  [re Monty Python]
 JB>  Once earlier episodes were rerun, I found it far
 JB>  more entertaining, but obviously I was more able
 JB>  to comprehend the juxtaposition of the humour.

 AH>            Yes, maybe they ran out of ideas after awhile.

That was the consensus as parlayed by the boys in a few interviews.

 AH> Dallas & I used to watch the show on Fridays after work.
 AH> Since it was aired around midnight, we were probably seeing
 AH> reruns then.  We saw a more recent episode awhile ago...
 AH> but it didn't seem as funny as what we remembered.

I haven't a clue how syndication works, but I think a program has to air
x-number of episodes before it is shopped out to other countries. Besides that,
I didn't see episode one until late in their run. Lately, I caught a glimpse of
a B+W skit that *was* uproarious; where those many years ago, I couldn't
understand what all the hype was about. (How's the punctuation? }B-)

 AH>            I reckon we've changed too.  We were in a mood for something
 AH> silly on Friday nights in those days.  Sometimes we watched
 AH> Japanese horror movies, just for laughs, because the
 AH> special effects were so-o-o bad... [chuckle].

Things like those movies, are often more entertaining with a room full of
"actors" to replace the sound track. It usually improves the audio::video
synchronization. (How's the "::=proportional to" liberty? }B-)



 AH>            We enjoy a lot of other stuff these actors have
 AH> done... so I think you might enjoy the show more if you
 AH> know more about the actors.

It was rather revealing, and a great insight to see how the actors viewed what
they were up to in those days. 

 AH>  When I was a teenager I thought it would be fun to
 AH>  learn Greek, but medical terms were not quite what
 AH>  I had in mind... [wry grin].

 JB>  "Who signed me up for *this?*" 

 AH>            Uh-huh....  :-)

I just viewed an interview with a vet who was quoted as saying, " I volunteered
for this?" Naturally, I thought about this exchange. 

 AH>  [re bursitis]
 JB>  So wrong!

 AH>            Okay.  I recited the standard explanation,
 AH> knowing such things are usually simplistic & you'd be able
 AH> to add some input....  ;-)

... And so contrary to what you know about the boots I'm likely to die in?



 JB>  Since dropping the pain killers, sleeping on my afflicted
 JB>  hip is my preferred position. The inflammation pain is a
 JB>  relief from the usual maladies, so I repeatedly irritate
 JB>  it willingly.


 AH>            I hear you, but I'm not sure I approve... [wry grin].

I doubt my MD does either, but he does know what I'm up to. 

 AH>  [re meditation]
 JB>  If they are blocking the kernel, plant a seed? B-)

 AH>            Something like that, I guess!  If a person is determined
 AH> that what you're telling them is all bunk, I'd suggest you back off &
 AH> be patient.  I've done it in various situations... and as
 AH> often as not, the selfsame individual embraced the idea
 AH> later on because (for example) their doctor or their friend
 AH> the nurse reiterated what I'd already said.  I don't get
 AH> any credit, however, because they don't recall the
 AH> conversation.  Our assignment may be to prepare the ground,
 AH> so it will be ready for the kernel on some future occasion.
 AH>  :-))

Prepare the bed? Ya, that works too!  Funny, it *was* an RN that was
trying to teach a group of seniors when the nay-sayer said what many - I
suspect -were thinking. I guess I took the opportunity to speak up and
broadcast the seed I had in hand in the hopes there was fertile ground in
better climes. It was an opportunity when I knew there was hostile attitudes,
but more for the rest of the group - I didn't want them to be swayed by one
person who only thought self-improvement was bottled by a guy named Smirnoff.
