Hi, Kathleen,
I know what you mean about taking pain meds like Vicodin. I’m glad my
orthopedic specialist doesn’t prescribe that stuff. I don’t blame you for being
annoyed with the doctor. I’d be more than annoyed. I’d probably want to find
another doctor.

Linda I'm glad you didn't have to take Vicodin. That's what me and my
orthopedist got into this huge argument about. He wanted me to take either
Vicodin or OxyContin and I said no. The reason I said no is because I travel on
the subway and I didn't want to be under the influence of either one of those
drugs if I was traveling. He got mad and said will you just don't want to try
it. So I will and I just walked out of the office. They left the prescriptions
on the counter for me to get them and I will have to. I just left them there. I
was kind of annoyed I don't know why these doctors don't understand some of
these drugs can affect us differently and the blind people traveling we just
don't stay home all the time. That's just really totally nuts. Well I got the
Aleve. And I got it in a bottle I can open. I got the Aleve caplets. Thank you
goodness no child safety bottle just a regular screwtop that you take off. And
I'm glad I got it that way. The gentleman in the drugstore was nice. So he help
me get what I wanted and then I left and came back home.

Hi Hi Rosie,
I guess with the inflammation, my body needs a good bit of sleep, and I’ve
got plans for both tomorrow and Monday. I’ll be up early enjoying the Raiders
game and pre-game shows, well, let’s hope I’ll enjoy the Raiders game. I’ll
enjoy it if they win more than I will if they lose. Monday Gina and I are
going out to breakfast, and then at noon I have a phone appointment. Sure
can’t wait till Thursday. Will have to get on the phone with Maxi-Aids and
have them send me yet another label so I can return the nonworking braille
watch. I want a refund this time. At least I didn’t have to take Vikodon this
morning.

Hi, Linda,
I’m so sorry you’re hurting. I’m also sorry about your braille watch not
working right. I found out from a friend that Orange County Braille Institute
took out their store so I’m not too happy about that. That’s where I bought my
braille watch. I’ve stayed in bed towhen I had a lot of pain.
I hope you feel better soon.

Rosie, glad you sent it. I’m so behind on e-mail right now as I overdid it
Wednesday with laundry and garbage and yesterday with trying to find something,
one of those suction cup phone attachments. I had to change an appointment and
found out the hard way my braille watch, newly purchased, doesn’t keep time
worth a bag of beans!! It’s going back to Maxi-Aids, and this time I am asking
for a refund of my money as this is the second braille watch they’ve sent me.
The first one couldn’t even be set properly. Anyway, I hurt so much in my arms
and even my knees last night that I had to stay in bed much of today and rest.

Hi, Linda,
I also have Incense and Peppermints by Strawberry Alarm Clock and will be
glad to send it to Devon if you don’t have it.

Hmm, I thought it was drug related but I, too, could be totally off-base. I
didn’t like a lot of the music back then if I thought it had anything to do
with drugs. For instance, when The Doors did “Light My Fire,” I figured it was
most certainly about drugs, but when I heard Jose Feliciano’s version about a
year later, now that sounded like a couple having a mellow time to me. I
didn’t become too involved with this one, Devon, because my perspectives about
a lot of music coming out at that time is pretty messed up. If you don’t
already have “Insense Peppermints” by Strawberry Alarm Clock, which was a song
throwing a bunch of nonsensical lines together and not about drugs, let me
know, and I’ll gladly send it.

Hi, Devon,
I think Mellow Yellow was supposed to be a silly song if I remember
correctly. If I’m wrong, somebody please jump in and correct me.

Hi, everyone. I thought I might finish this week’s show with a song or two
about Autumn, time permitting. If I were to choose something by either the
Cascades or the Danderleers, would those songs most likely come from the
sixties? I have a folder of Autumn songs, thanks in large part to Nance, but
not many of the songs include years. The other question has to do with next
week’s special on songs having to do with drugs. I have a couple of songs that
weren’t connected in any way with drugs but people thought they were. Any
other suggestions along those lines? I think I should do whatever I can to
debunk rumours like that. And were any songs by either Bob Dylan or Donovan
connected with taking drugs? One Donovan song that particularly comes to mind
is Mellow Yellow. Thanks a bunch for any info you might be able to pass along.
Devon.
