Tommy and I were talking and one thing led to another. It was an interesting journey, but I won't go there. At any rate, he mentioned dog tags and I asked him if he ever had dog tags. I remember wanting them and having them, a fad I supposed from this distance. He said all the kids were given dog tags by the school during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. He was in the third grade and I was a junior in high school. I should remember this if we were given dog tags. Does anyone else remember being given dog tags during this time? Do you know anyone who was given dog tags by the school? Did you get dog tags for this crisis?
Okay, I read all about the dog tags in 1962 on the internet. But, I have no recollection of being given one. Did you?
The last comment on yesterday's post was asking if I rented Tommy out. He laughed. And, I just found out he thinks Parmesan cheese stinks. That is a shock! I am still smiling over his new job of organizing refrigerators. I could set up a route and he could go from refrigerator to refrigerator, organizing refrigerators for people. He does not clean, but he is a great organizer. I appreciate that.
Shingles just won't let up. There is a numbish area from ear to corner of mouth. And, there is a numb place on my cheekbone, high near my eye. And, I have started to drool a bit! This is not good. Mayo clinic site about shingles connects this with Bell's Palsy somehow. It is not an all out drool, just excessive moisture in the left corner of my mouth. This numbness and tendency to drool a bit has been going on for a couple of months and seems more frequent.
The PhD nurse called and now I have an appointment with a neurologist. Will this never end?
I am now scheduling Tommy for organizing refrigerators. Who's next? Who remembers dog tags for the Cuban Missile Crisis?
