What are you doing?

[Dawgluver]

ordered and received one of those spiral water hoses. figured would be safer for me if i didn't have to mess with the regular hose. it always tangles. i can't get the damn package opened. another son job. i hate having to depend on other people.

Am interested in your report on the non-tangle hose, Babe. Just saw an infomercial about it today.

 

[chopper]

started cleaning craft closet. i have a long table, tried to set up so i can divide things into yes or no piles. i am not strong enough to set the table upright. very very annoying. son due later so he'll have to do it. puts me behind though.

Packages are so much harder to open than they used to be. I was looking at those hoses too. Hope it works well for you!

The MRI I was in today looked like this.

Sort of like an open hamburger bun with you sliding into the middle. The top surface is still only an inch or two away from the tip of your nose. I felt no real sense of being confined in a small space.

IT was still noisy. Lots of banging and whirring and other assorted noises. They were not really an issue.

An Andy Panini...

That one is a lot more modern that the one I was in

Mine was not totally enlcosed though and it was very roomy...I certainly dont think it was like the older ones Addie, as my mum has been in this newer one and an older type and she said these ones were not claustrophobic at all...so that is good

Andy, were you given headphones?

 

[Kylie1969]

An Andy Panini...

ROFL

 

[Andy M.]

...Andy, were you given headphones?

Yes. I was asked what kind of music I wanted. I chose classical as it's soothing. Sadly, it wasn't loud enough to be heard over the thumping.

They said I was a rare bird but sent me home because I couldn't cut the mustard.

You should have put some bacon in your pockets...

 

[buckytom]

thought, i could handle it. they had not even closed it up. i freaked. later back in the room, i asked if we had to do it again. they must have drugged me, cause second try was successful.

try orff's "o fortuna" from "carmina burana" next time. or wagner's "ride of the valkyrie" from the ring (i can't recall which one), or tchaikovsky's "1812 overture".

"Hall of the Mountain King" would work too. Or "The Anvil Chorus."

I can't sit still while any of those pieces are playing. I'll have to have some Enya playing.

ooh, good ones.

or andy, how about a good sousa march? ya can't drown out that amazing piccolo solo that hits a flat +1 octave, of course, that rides over top of "stars and stripes forever". i'll never forget that riff . it's all i hear when it's played with something in my gut keeping time.

sorry, gettin" a bit abstract.

my eldest parrot louie and i love to have fun whistling to that little ditty.

I listened to some Enya, I really like her! Had not heard of her before.

Have never had an MRI. Are Sousa marches an option, and do you have to bring your own parrot? Can parrot go into the hamburger bun/ panini/tube with you?

 

[buckytom]

yes... and no.

the music should be deafening, and the parrot is there to bite your big toe to make sure that your fear of the machine is silly; this is real pain...

I have heard of people bringing a cat or dog into the MRI. It's awfully expensive to run the machine for a cat or dog, but if someone is in there anyway and doesn't mind the company of a critter...

I think that makes sense. If I ever have to get an MRI, I would plan to fit DH, beagle, and any available friend or neighbor in with me.

 

[buckytom]

no reality toe?

afterwards you get an 8x10 of you and the bird on your shoulder.

hey, it works in key west. $5 to let a bird stand on you.

i'm talking medical treatment worth big bucks...

We have three of her CD's and put them in the player for night time sleeping. Now when I hear her I get drowsy

Wait till you get billed for CAT scan and LAB fees...
