Happy Sunday Evening OTR fans...

It's a mixed bag tonight with some dramatic powerhouses, am thinking Murray's panties are today twisted about women's issues is my guess, or maybe it's his menopause...Gina's favorite The Great Gildersleeve, Edward Murrow on London in Spring (will withhold judgment on this)...never heard of Sky King, very interesting, woman themed...and Screen Guild Theater is usually solid, woman themed...and ending well with Lux with Joan Crawford and my man Basil Rathbone, woman themed...

How's it shaking?

[WXRGina]

Hi, Vision! Just got back from the store. Been very busy. How’s it going?

[Vision]

Things are good. Was a quick week. The sun is out and in the 90’s. Went to the store and got Nathan's black angus, wrapped them in bacon, and will pop their o’rings in the oven. (:

You?

[higgmeister]

...never heard of Sky King, very interesting, woman themed...

I really cannot believe there is anyone that hasn't heard of Sky King of the Flying Crown Ranch in his airplane (a Cessna 310B), Songbird, with his niece Penny. It was not woman themed at all. As I recall, he appeared to save the world on every broadcast.

[higgmeister]

Wow, I never knew that Earl Nightingale portrayed Sky King. What a voice and inspiration!

[Vision]

Thanks don't believe I've ever heard it.

Not so much the show but this episode “The Lady Sheriff”. Our lunatic effeminate host has politicized the BB and tonight the subject seems to be women.

[higgmeister]

I didn’t know that WAMU was American University. Yech!

[WXRGina]

YUM! You’ve made me a Nathan’s convert. We’re doing what we’ve dubbed a “ranch steak” on the grill. It’s one of the big top sirloin steaks that are usually just as good as ribeyes or NY strips, but are cheaper.

[Vision]

Well I think the dogs are better without bacon, it added more salt than flavor.

[WXRGina]

Oh, yeah. Saltier is not always good. Bacon is good for wrapping around shrimp-jalapenos on the grill or beer can bacon burgers. :-)

Taco night here. I'm cheating where I can from here on out, but only when the moment manifests itself. On Thursday I got diagnosed with venous stasis in both legs. I'm at high risk for further infection and/or congestive heart failure, so my immediate marching orders are thus: lose weight (got a new med for that), get my A1C down (got a NEW med for that), and wear prescription compression stockings from here on (hello, advanced geezerhood). Connie saw him the next day to follow up on her meds, her MS, and whatnot, and she asked him, "Can't you tell him to cut back on the beer?!?" He just smiled at her and said, "We can both tell him, but you know that ain't gonna happen." Damn tootin'. I only have a couple of weeks of cold-conditioning left to go with that keg I brewed back in April. Don't tell me to cut back now. And I gotta have a talk with him about his phlebotomist. She couldn't find her own butt with both hands and a flashlight. She jabbed that, that - ICE PICK - into my arm and rooted around for five minutes before she found a spring to tap. I got a bruise the size of a baseball on my arm. I hope she was only interning, but Connie's cackled about her for a year, so I guess I'm (no pun intended) stuck. I miss Audrey.

[Vision]

That sounds like a lot. What’s your A1C?

[Viking2002]

Waiting on the results from LabCorp. They don't have the finger-stick test my old doctor did, they have to do the full blood board through the lab, the old-fashioned way. I'm sure I'll get an earful Monday or Tuesday. They're converting their computer system over, so I'll have a login to check my results myself in a few weeks. I do know that my last A1C was 7.5. Which reminds me - I gotta go give myself a shot of Trulicity. Damned 3rd party insurance stopped paying for my Invokana, so I got switched over to Jardiance. My metformin is so cheap, I get that for a buck a bottle.

[Vision]

7.5 seems high. Try this:

[WXRGina]

Oh, bummer, Viking. BE GOOD, and get better!

[Viking2002]

Thanks. It peaked out at 8.9 at one point. I'll give it a shot so I ordered a bottle. If it helps, great. I was on that cinnamon capsule kick for a while, but all that seemed to do was make me burp dry clouds of cinnamon. Had some fresh breath, though. LOL
