    Morning. Patches of blue sky like inkstains in marbly grey and white overcast tinged orange by the rising sun a little after dawn :)

    Complaint... Okay, I don't go to the doctor a lot, but do they burn all those forms They make you fill out, the moment you walk out the door?... What the hell do they do with all these papers they give you?  I had a follow-up visit today, for my elbow... It's doing fine now, but anyway, I go to the doctor (an orthopedist actually) and arrive ten minutes early to an empty waiting room only to be handed an eight page form... Okay, I get that they may need to know if I have any pain, if I'm taking any medications or have grown any new appendages... But do I really have to update my height and weight? And better yet, why do they need to know my weight as pounds and ounces... What, 195 pounds is not accurate enough? So I gave my height and weight as "5 feet, 9.3760 inches without tail" and weight as "194 pounds 6 ounces 17.354 grams- Dry curb weight"... (Edited to add- I forgot to mention the two essay questions) yeah, there were even essay questions... In the section after they ask if you have any pain (no to all six questions) they ask "Today I am feeling:  .... ) to which I wrote "Like a big beautiful ballerina wearing a Viking helmet and riding giraffe". The other one was something like "When I walk, I feel:  ..." To which I believe I answered something like "I wish I didn't walk from my car to here and have to fill out an eight page report every time while the TV is locked to the Oprah channel and I can't access WiFi so I can seek alternative entertainment."...   All that and there were loads of grammatical mistakes on the form too... And weirdly asked questions... Like "Are you now smoking?"... A: No, that's just a small fire I started out of boredom... But cigarettes, no, I don't smoke those. (They already asked twice if I smoke, so the answer is still no) ... They asked three times if I'm pregnant... And despite already having asked if I'm missing any limbs and please list any physical disabilities, they stil went on to ask if I have use of my hands (A: Yes...how the hell else would I be filling this stupid form out?)... I figure after having filled out three different variants of those forms, I'm allowed to amuse myself at their expense. So anyway I get there ten minutes early (and had to pay my $40 copayment beforehand) and there is nobody in the waiting room... Well, maybe there were a lot of quite invisible people, but probably there were no actual people besides me... And I still had to wait a firkin hour... I don't get it.  And the best part is I go to the exam room to wait ten more minutes, just to have the doctor come in and ask me three questions and have me bend my elbow and declare me fit for action... Total time for that was under five minute, and then I had to wait six or seven minutes for the receptionist who was on the phone taking a personal call, to finally look at my papers and say "Oh... You can go... You're all done"...   I don't get it, my friend and his wife are both doctors, they make it a point to never have their patients wait longer than ten minutes if they are on time, they are both pleasant and have a sense of humor and their waiting room is pleasant, has several TVs with accessible remotes in case you hate Oprah or The Wonder Pets... They actually have new magazines from this century too...  I don't get it when I go somewhere and I feel I'm gonna get attacked by bats in the waiting room or the only magazines are from drug companies or the doctor's old discarded magazines... But then again my friends are nice people and care both about their patients and their business and don't want to run a bat nursery in their waiting room.  Well, that's my complaint of the week... Unless I find something better... Then I'll complain about that.  But in a protracted lighthearted manner.

    In case anybody missed all the news about it, today is "Back to the Future" day.  Wednesday, October 21, 2015 when the DeLorian time machine went to the future in the 2nd BttF movie.  Yea, big whoop! cheeky

    I remember when the future was the far distant "1984".  That's my complaint! frown

    I do not remember 1984 at all even though I was alive then

    Prune juice tastes like medicine to me. Not a fan. To each his/her own.
