Needle in a New Groove: Painting by Wassily Kandinsky (1939) Red, Yellow and Blue

Preview

"If you don't like what you're doing, you can always pick up your needle and move to another groove." Timothy Leary

NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT: Kandinsky's Reproduction The painting was created in 1939 in France, and is therefore immune to the German copyright, which lasts until 2014 for paintings created in Germany.Consider the heartlessness of the German copyright. While there's a museum dedicated to W.K.'s work in Munich, Kandinsky, who was Russian, painted this AFTER he escaped Germany.

    Hey Linda,

    I hope this note finds things going well in your world. I had a heart attack awhile back. Luckily, when they rushed me to the cath lab, they were able to place a stent and it fixed my problem.

    The heart attack proved to be a blessing in disguise. My cardiologist (who was affiliated with the clinic I owed money to) told me to just ignore the nasty letters from billing and make an appointment and get seen. And it worked. Thrilled to report that I am now getting most of the medicines I need and seem to be on the mend.

    As for the Republican primary, I find myself hoping Santorum is the nominee. I plan to spend the campaign telling everyone Google Santorum!

    Alan, it's great to hear from you. I saw your message on my phone, but I haven't been able to get to the computer. As for the heart, that's exactly what they did for me. Luckily, it was only a tributary, and it turns out that there's no open heart surgery in my future. Arteries are clear, and the walls aren't neither too thick, or too thin, but just right. I guess it's my Goldilocks heart. I've been telling them I've taken care of myself, worked out, etc. until recently, and they didn't believe me. I'm not holding my breath for an apology!
    As for your meds, you should be able to get everything you need from PPARX, even if you have insurance. If you have a high co-pay, the company makes arrangements with you.
    I have been able to keep up with the news, and heard about Googling Santorum, but it kept slipping my mind. Thanks for reminding me. For those of you that don't know, here's the definition, verbatim:

    Santorum
    spreadingsantorum.com/Santorum 1. The frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex. 2. Senator Rick Santorum

    I share your enthusiasm for his nomination!
    I'm glad you are doing well. The only thing holding me here is finding a new place, and I'm hoping by Spring I'll be outta here!
    In the meantime, stay well, and sweet tides, my friend. Stay in touch, Linda

    Alan, it took me a minute to remember the situation with your doctor. I'm SOOO Glad things worked out with your doctor. I have had a lousy week, but you just made my month. I'll be back to visiting regularly soon.

    Close Encounters of the Blog Kind: Alternate Methods of Commenting

    There are a few ways to leave comments, depending on your needs. First, you can click under the post and embed the comment.
    I will go in and paste it under the post, so no one has to click and wait for the window or page to come up.
    Secondly, C-Box is here precisely to make it easier to comment, converse with each other, make references to your posts, and so on. I value your participation in this expedition. Without you, I risk becoming solipsistic, like a goldfish in a bowl thinking that is the entire world because it's the only reality I would acknowledge. I think you can see by the nature of my interests, that is just not me.
    Thirdly, I encourage you to use the Review Posting area. Comments should be about the site itself, but can also serve to talk about content. It's up to you.
    Finally, you can leave comments on Friend Connect. A problem with F.C. is it was posting at the top of the blog, so to leave was more difficult. You couldn't see 'next blog,' etc. I tried changing the code but no success. So I'm reloading it in the hopes that won't happen. I'm sorry that I lost all the messages there.
    You also have the option of contacting me through email or my YouTube channels. Links for that are all over the blog. I am setting up a companion blog with music players from You Tube. Additionally, I'm starting another blog, "The Pain Game," a log of what's happening to me (and a lot of other people.) Even though there is recent legislation that is very promising, the past 20 years have been a nightmare to doctors and patients alike, re: law enforcement harassment. In 4 years, 5000 doctors lost their licenses. I don't want to speculate how many patients died because of it. And this isn't the place for this.
    FINALLY, PLEASE BECOME A FRIEND. I'm making friends at other sites like BlogCatalog and Bloggers Unite, and two friend from there are here. But especially my closest friends, show me you've been here! And critique this thing, and be brutal.
