Thanks, Russell , Marilyn and Mike for your informative posts. Update, I have an appointment on Thursday to have a stent put in my urethra to widen it to make sure the passage of kidney stones easier to pass. This getting old stuff is not for sissies. Glad you guys are feeling better.

We will keep you in our prayers. I've only had one kidney stone, but they really hurt when they are moving. Sounds like your doctor want to keep you healthy and safe. Bobby Bayliss it is great having Dan as my Doctor. Not many Doctors will give you the personal cell phone number in case of an emergency. First time I used it I texted his Dad by mistake. We miss his mom.

Hi Carlin, I like your doctor's solution to kidney stones, widen the plumbing and the chances of the stone going through are improved. A lot better than serious surgery. Have a blessed Easter.

I was very sorry to hear about Mrs. Thayer. She was one of the BEST Teachers I had at Tee Jay! She was able to reframe the subject of U.S.Government from "dry and boring" to "something living and breathing!" I remember we had open discussions about interesting topics like "Civil Rights."

She also taught "Economics," and I remember our class invested in a "Stock." She was a lively, inspiring and stimulating teacher, and I learned a lot in her class. I am sure my classmates would agree.

My Sympathies go out to her family members.

I was sorry to hear the passing of Mrs Thayer. I was in her Government class maybe senior year. She was a breath of fresh air from the north who didn't pull punches about freedom and democracy. In one of her first classes she stated that she would not vote in any election in Virginia until the poll tax was revoked, which of course it was. A great first civics class for me. Very happy to remember her.

Well, dear TJ classmates of mine, as I anticipate turning 81 tomorrow, I can honestly say that having this wonderful method of staying in touch has helped me to "remain young" at heart! It has been a blessing to stay in touch with those years and so many of you!

It saddens me that there was no recognition of D-Day on TCM and only a few shows on 6/1 about D-Day. Is this no longer important?

I agree with you John. In the Richmond Times Dispatch on June 6, they wrote about 8-10 lines on the next to last page. The Daily Press in Newport News Had the famous picture where then General Eisenhower was meeting with the 101st Airborne on the day before D-Day.

If we forget our history we are doomed to repeat it. Putin reminds me of Hitler. He has invaded the Crimea and taken it over, he has invaded the Ukraine, assassinated Russians living in England, and shot down the airplane of a rival killing all on board.

Hi Marilyn,

Sorry to learn of your broken shoulder. Had the same problem but have to admit surgery and rehab were easy compared to knee replacement. Hope you're back feeling as good as new soon.

Nobody has written anything on here since July????? WOW!!! Well, then!! I'll put in my two cents!! After 2 weeks EACH in TWO Rehab Hospitals, I have had 2 weeks of Home Health Rehab, & we managed to get away to see Friends & Family for a 2-3 days each in Tucson in July & in San Diego last week. My Doctor said to take off the Sling on my Left Arm & my Shoulder is Healing Day by Day. We went to a Bead Craft Night last night, & hopefully, I will move back to my Condo next week. My biggest challenge so far has been putting up my Ponytail each day, but Rach- says she will stop by my Condo to do that! I can type with my right hand on my computer when it is on a table, & both hands when it is on my lap. I will start Outpatient Rehab with Rachael next week at her favorite place for Physical Rehab. Onward & Upward!!!. . . .UPDATE: September 4th - Thank you to Cokey, Russell, & Anne Marie. I've gone through 2 weeks of Outpatient Physical Rehab so far, and A LOT of Shoulder Massages! I hope to be able to make my Pony Tail SOON!!!!

Today marks the 24 anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks that resulted in the deaths of almost 3,000 innocent people. The only information (one small paragraph) in the Richmond Times Dispatch about the attacks is in the Today in History column, a syndicated column. If we don't remember or know our history we will never be able to learn from it and will have it repeated. I'm sure almost everyone who reads this remembers exactly what they were doing when the attacks occurred. I hope we never experience such an event again, so remember 9/11.

I am just reading that The Diamond stadium is closing. That makes me so sad. I remember vividly going to games with my Daddy, who bought me a corn dog on a stick every time. . . . The Richmond in my mind has changed even more . . . .
