I waited tables in the West Village and waited on Kurt Loder. More than once.

My dad got the flu and went to the doctor on Wednesday, because he wasnāt getting much better. When the doctor heard him breathe he said he needs to go to the emergency room.
When we got to the ER they brought him right in and admitted him- it was the first time my dad has been admitted to the hospital ever⦠heās 90 years old.
He was OK for the next day or so, but yesterday he unexpectedly turned very bad. We werenāt sure he was going to make it last night as he was totally unresponsive. I heard the doctor say āthis is a full codeā. Scared the shit out of my mom and I.
Then he woke up, miraculously and was interested in the basketball game on TV. Crazy⦠but heās doing quite well today and we are optimistic for a full and complete recovery.
Bottom line: when you are 90 years old catching the flu is literally a life and death situation. I guess I knew that, but always have thought my dad was impervious to anything like that.
Yup! Thatās also the reason I would get pissed when someone would come to work or to my kidās school with a fever.
There was a kid that worked for me that would come to work with a fever. Every time he would spread it to someone else. I get that he needed his hours, but so do a lot of people. He once got someone sick and she couldnāt visit her dying mother in law
What year was this?
Iām just curious because I remember Kurt Loder from ā¦
the MTV days and that was like a hundred years ago!
Nice to hear heās on the mend Dougo , we all think we are bullet proof ,but it seems we are not .
Iād think āOh great, now we have Penceā¦who is capable of more evil because heās not Trumpā
I donāt think Pence has the same willingness to fight everyone who disagrees with him at the level that Trump does.
My cat Dutchie came in to my room at 5:45 this morning, jumped onto the bed and started rubbing her face on Steveās face to wake him up. His alarm didnāt go off today bc he took the day off, but Dutchie knew it was Monday and it was time for him to get up.
She doesnāt do this on Saturdays and Sundays. How does she know? Sheās amazing.
She looks a lot like our Tiger Lily, seen here keeping watch over the little one while she sleepsā¦
Just got my dad home from the hospital. He was in there for one week. They called and said he would be discharged at noon⦠we finally left the hospital at 5:15.
