Not that I was going anywhere out in it. I'm still housebound and such. Ugh. Anyway--I have found a benefit of being stuck indoors. I've discovered that MeTv channel is showing reruns of my absolute favorite TV show when I was a teen.
The show focuses on paramedics John Gage and Roy DeSoto (played by Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe respectively) of the Los Angeles County Fire Department's Squad 51 based out of Station 51 in Carson (Actually LACoFD Station 127), and Rampart General Hospital emergency room headed by chief staff physician/surgeon Dr. Kelly Brackett and Head Nurse Dixie McCall, worked with physician/surgeon Dr. Joe Early and young intern Dr. Mike Morton (played by Robert Fuller, Julie London, Bobby Troup and Ron Pinkard) with whom the paramedics work to save lives. The Squad crew was stationed with LACoFD Engine Company 51 who often responded with them. The show, which portrayed dedicated civil servants who handled two or three varied and unrelated incidents during a typical shift, often showed real-life medical and firefighting procedures. It was also the first show to show paramedics who help rescue people injured or in peril.
Emergency! was created and produced by Jack Webb and Robert A. Cinader, both of whom were also responsible for the police dramas Adam-12 and Dragnet.

While my friends were all a-gaga over the likes of Donny Osmond or David Cassidy, my heart belonged to Randolph Mantooth, who played paramedic John Gage. Sigh.... who needed a dippy teenybopper singer when there was this:
And he's STILL mighty fine looking.
I actually have an outfit to share. Nothing exciting but I did have to get out of the yoga pants and fleece tops to go to the doctors this past week.

I'm linking up with all of the fab ladies over at Visible Monday this week. Even though I'm not as visible as I'd like--I am enjoying seeing everyone else!
Well--time to trundle off to the recliner!! Have a fantastic week everyone!!!

Oh man, Randolph Mantooth - he looks a little like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, doesn't he? When I was a kid, "Emergency" was THE show!
I remember that show! LOL
OMG that cake is sick.
Hope you are feeling better soon. I've been taken down by a brutal flu bug and massive Fibromyalgia flare so I join you in your misery.
bisous

Oh that cake! I hurt myself laughing. The beer cans are such a nice touch. Yes, Randolph has aged very well - like us! Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday. xox
Nothing wrong with a little nostalgia to keep you warm...I hope there is a thaw soon...enjoy your Me TV and keep working that smile, Tamera!
Thank you for the image of the dead rodents on a cake! You always supply the stuff of nightmares. I just need to remind myself about Randolph Mantooth. That'll help with the sweet dreams.
Way to add some oomph to a casual outfit - the boots and the purple scarf certainly do add some visibility. That and your smile!
I say like Suzanne, this cake is sick Tamera!
Little French me remembers emergency and Randolph! I think my Mom liked him a lot too!
Take care
Big hugs

Happy to hear that you have survived the frigid weather and came went out with those killer thrifted boots. Accented by your beautiful gifted scarf. You can make any outfit shine!
Mr. Mantooth did a quest role on Sons of Anarchy a couple of seasons ago. It's fun the watch MeTV to see what LA and SF looked liked in the 70's.
No idea about the show, but I can't read the name Randy Mantooth without laughing! Good to know you are keeping your spirits up and surviving the cold spell in your kickass boots! xxxx
Oh your little dollhouse already looks charming. I don't recall Emergency!, but then I think we tossed the TV when I was young. Here's to better and better rest and relaxation!
Oh, my goodness do I just love Randolph Mantooth. Had a crush on him since I was 10. I watch Emergency on Netflix and MeTv.
That cake is an abomination! That's an image I won't soon forget LOL.
I do hope you're starting to feel better. I know how tedious physical limitations can be.

Hello, Darling Tamera. You look lovely for a woman who has been shut in for so long! Lovely for any circumstances, actually. Happy to see your smile! Sorry the cold is still haunting you! I wish you the weather you want right now! It's still unseasonably "okay" here, and it looks like rain, but in the 50s. I can go with that!
Mantooth? He's ageing well ... one of those men who looks better the older he gets. Damn them, anyway.
Yikes to the cake! Funny, sweet, scary! How Duck Dynasty. That's a disturbing trend for men around here. Dan and I had to stop at the grocery the other morning, and there was a gaggle of them, hairy faced, wader wearing, camo sporting old farts, taking up the whole sidewalk. Ew.
Snuggle the pups for me!
I cannot imagen what all the snow would be like. I love the thought.
It would be nice to swap places for a few days.
Loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
A sons of anarchy jumper should keep you warm and jeans are always good
