		<description>What is rotator cuff surgery? Sounds like something to do with a tuxedo...?

Gosh, this &quot;What&#039;s That&quot; was the hardest ever! I&#039;ve never even SEEN a water filter, lol!!! 

Oh well, someday I&#039;ll get it right.... someday....

		<description>I applaud your badassness.

And why do people talk so loud when using cell phones? The little microphones work really well after all.

		<description>Waiting room TVs are truly evil.  University Hospital in Denver used to slap a locking contraption over the TV controls to keep helpless patients from turning it off.  Eeeeeevil.

Why no comments from the people who *like* TV in the waiting room?  I know they must exist.  Maybe they can&#039;t type.  Or read.  Huh.

		<description>Rant well justified. I can&#039;t stand loud background noise or music either... which is odd considering I&#039;ve been a musician all my life. 

One thing I have to do is shut off all TVs in our house before we eat dinner. That&#039;s a biggie for me.

		<description>Luck to Dave for a speedy recovery! Maybe take a spare set of shoes along with you for these sorts of TV-muting, cellphone-user-whapping emergencies. That way your feet won&#039;t get cold while you wait.

		<description>Yes! Someone else who thinks like I do!!  Thank goodness our surgery waiting room at the hospital is cell phone and TV free!  There is nothing worse than whatever they choose as a channel while you are held captive.  I hate Oprah--and of course, that is usually what&#039;s on when I&#039;m waiting.  Or Maury.  Or Jerry Springer!  Arrrggghhhh!! 

Thank you, on behalf of all of us.

		<description>Glad to hear Dave&#039;s surgery went well! 

And ah, yes, Percocet. I loved it after my hysterectomy...until my pain subsided and I started hallucinating. 

When my husband began looking like a red-haired nurse in high heels, I switched to Tylenol 3 instead.

		<description>i hope your husband is recovering well and will feel better soon!

we actually have one hospital in our area that has a waiting room almost as good as ann of the famlly described.  it&#039;s lovely, quiet, spacious, clean bathrooms and lots of seating away from the one television that is turned on and off whenever anyone desires tv.  they even have a room with beverages and a few snacks!

however, we did have a bad experience with the free valet parking.  the attendant felt free to rummage through my husband&#039;s overnight bag and stole his cell phone.  then the dork called his boss to call in sick, we found this out when speaking to the boss about all the calls that were made on the stolen phone.  it was quite amusing when this man blanched and said &quot;that&#039;s my home phone number&quot;.

we did get reimbursed for the phone and the dork got fired.
:o)

		<description>Barb WillThink4Wine -- I&#039;m sure someone did a study somewhere and found that morning news actually wakes people up and puts them in a good mood. On Planet Not Here.

Daisy the Curly Cat -- Dave is feeling much better, thank you. Oh, please keep Nurse Shrill. He doesn&#039;t have a real license to practice, does he?

Jenny -- I work for everyone. Well, at least my readers. Will that get me elected? 

Lisa (Jonny&#039;s Mommy) -- I like Ann&#039;s idea for turning on a nature program -- MUTED. I can&#039;t watch food shows. Except when I&#039;m eating. Otherwise, it&#039;s cruel and unusual punishment.

Natural -- My other method for shutting up loud cell phone talkers is to stare straight at them. I feel no embarrassment whatsoever doing this, oddly enough. I quite enjoy the silent admonishment. Try it sometime. It&#039;s a powerful feeling.

Mary at Holy Mackerel -- The mute button is my friend. I hate excess noise, which is one reason I&#039;d make a lousy parent. &quot;OK, Junior. You can have your friends over any time. You can breathe quietly, but you can&#039;t speak or make any noise.&quot;

Chris Casey -- Agree with you on the noise thing. Have we all forgotten about the beauty of silence? Aren&#039;t we all so busy and crazed already that we can&#039;t have five minutes a day of noiseless bliss?

Preston -- Thank you, friend. I appreciate your appreciating my blog!

MA Fat Woman -- Oh, please. I hope you are kidding. If I find out offices have contracts with TV stations, we&#039;ll be seeing my badass self on steroids.

JD at I Do Things -- Oh, I pity you. Remember the power of MUTE. Do it! We have the right to quiet!

Data Entry Services -- I love the moment of recognition when people realize what the object is. I always have a test run at home. Most times, Dave can&#039;t get it either.

Jay -- He&#039;s a good patient. He always did his exercises as instructed at home when he had a back problem. He starts therapy late next week. Sorry to hear you have another tear. You have my sympathies!

Sue -- OK, soap operas have morning news shows beat by a long shot. Hubby is much, much better today. Still can&#039;t raise the arm, but that&#039;ll come with time. He&#039;s just happy to be mostly pain-free and off the meds.

Tamara Hellgren -- Gah! I bet you hate TVs out in public. There should be TV-free zones in airports. Maybe there are, like little library rooms where no one can talk or make any noise. Too much?

Will -- You are not alone. Hey, I just looked at your lizard post from the end of May. It&#039;s both cute and creepy! I do not know what kind it is. See? I&#039;m clueless to. That TV-watching statistic only surprises me because I would have thought internet time would have chipped away at people&#039;s TV-viewing time (as is the case with me). But eight hours? How does anyone get any work done?</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Barb WillThink4Wine &#8212; I&#8217;m sure someone did a study somewhere and found that morning news actually wakes people up and puts them in a good mood. On Planet Not Here.</p>
<p>Daisy the Curly Cat &#8212; Dave is feeling much better, thank you. Oh, please keep Nurse Shrill. He doesn&#8217;t have a real license to practice, does he?</p>
<p>Jenny &#8212; I work for everyone. Well, at least my readers. Will that get me elected? </p>
<p>Lisa (Jonny&#8217;s Mommy) &#8212; I like Ann&#8217;s idea for turning on a nature program &#8212; MUTED. I can&#8217;t watch food shows. Except when I&#8217;m eating. Otherwise, it&#8217;s cruel and unusual punishment.</p>
<p>Natural &#8212; My other method for shutting up loud cell phone talkers is to stare straight at them. I feel no embarrassment whatsoever doing this, oddly enough. I quite enjoy the silent admonishment. Try it sometime. It&#8217;s a powerful feeling.</p>
<p>Mary at Holy Mackerel &#8212; The mute button is my friend. I hate excess noise, which is one reason I&#8217;d make a lousy parent. &#8220;OK, Junior. You can have your friends over any time. You can breathe quietly, but you can&#8217;t speak or make any noise.&#8221;</p>
<p>Chris Casey &#8212; Agree with you on the noise thing. Have we all forgotten about the beauty of silence? Aren&#8217;t we all so busy and crazed already that we can&#8217;t have five minutes a day of noiseless bliss?</p>
<p>Preston &#8212; Thank you, friend. I appreciate your appreciating my blog!</p>
<p>MA Fat Woman &#8212; Oh, please. I hope you are kidding. If I find out offices have contracts with TV stations, we&#8217;ll be seeing my badass self on steroids.</p>
<p>JD at I Do Things &#8212; Oh, I pity you. Remember the power of MUTE. Do it! We have the right to quiet!</p>
<p>Data Entry Services &#8212; I love the moment of recognition when people realize what the object is. I always have a test run at home. Most times, Dave can&#8217;t get it either.</p>
<p>Jay &#8212; He&#8217;s a good patient. He always did his exercises as instructed at home when he had a back problem. He starts therapy late next week. Sorry to hear you have another tear. You have my sympathies!</p>
<p>Sue &#8212; OK, soap operas have morning news shows beat by a long shot. Hubby is much, much better today. Still can&#8217;t raise the arm, but that&#8217;ll come with time. He&#8217;s just happy to be mostly pain-free and off the meds.</p>
<p>Tamara Hellgren &#8212; Gah! I bet you hate TVs out in public. There should be TV-free zones in airports. Maybe there are, like little library rooms where no one can talk or make any noise. Too much?</p>
