It looks like the baseball show tonight and a great lineup.

Do not miss Fred Allen's The Brooklyn Pinafore...”That's why I'm an umpire in the National League.”

And we have a Lux Theater!

does this play on the internet? If so do you have a link?

[Vision]

Yes, it’s the “Listen Live” link in the body of the thread.

Hi, Vision! Are you all better from that awful poison ivy now?

[luvbach1]

First show is from 1963. Didn’t know they were still doing radio dramas that recently.

[Vision]

Hi Gina, with your help I'm healing. I'll say though, all over the Internet they say that PI does not spread. That it only appears where the oil from the plant touched. No way. This stuff spread. Thank God you helped.

Anyway, how you are?

[WXRGina]

Yes, I’ve seen it seem to spread, too, when I’ve had it.

We’re doing fine here. No news is good news! :-)

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Hi everyone! Cold & rainy here...

[WXRGina]

First show is from 1963. Didn’t know they were still doing radio dramas that recently.

Radio shows continued beyond the 1960s, though television eclipsed them. See this link for searching radio shows by date: Radio Gold Index

Hi, Doc! It’s good to see you.

Having a late, cold, wet snap? We had a “cold” front move through here, and now it’s mild and very windy. The wind is irritating.

[Vision]

Hi Dr., it was a wet day in Baltimore too. Got some stuff done indoors. Is all well?

[Dr. Scarpetta]

I’ve had poison ivy different times. IMO it spreads. I dread the thought of it. Glad it’s clearing up! I added Gina’s info to my favorites list last week.

[Vision]

Just got a decent bid from a landscaper to finish off the job that gave me the PI. $250 to get the weeds out of 50’ of fence line...$95 to fix a leaning fence post with a 2x4...and $450 to put down mesh and stone underneath a small deck. What do you think?

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Everything’s fine here...just chilly...temp in the 40’s...
I got dragged to see the Iron Lady movie about Margaret Thatcher today. Thought it was terrible...

[Vision]

If you every get it again, use Zanfel. It works wonders.

[Vision]

Temptress!

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Glad for the rain....we really need it.
