Feel better vibes for Tom!

Laura, did you pass through Texas on your drive?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #33 on:** November 16, 2016, 05:32:04 AM »

Yes, I think he was encouraging....of course he might have been talking about my typing.

Good morning, all.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #35 on:** November 16, 2016, 06:26:48 AM »

Terrible night of sleep (one of those in which you go to bed and are instantly wide awake and remain so), and though I'm theoretically free to go back to bed now and try to make up for some of it, that's just not happening either. Better luck tonight.

Wednesday morning greetings! Just a quick HI and BYE, because my friend Katie is picking me up in about half an hour. We're going to her bed and breakfast in Oxford, where Suellyn will join us for tea and then the 3 of us will go to Miami University to hear J. D. Vance speak. Film at 11!

So, it's been a terrible day with good moments. I went to the bank before I caught the 104 bus and withdrew $60.00, three new $20 bills, all sticking together.

At 50th Street, I missed the crosstown bus, so I grabbed a taxi, who took me to Rockefeller Plaza, and the cost was $4.30. I paid him with a $20 bill (I thought) and I asked him for $15 change. I gave him a $2.00 tip, a total tip of $2.70. Just before I left the taxi, I asked the driver for a receipt.

I got to my barber and discovered I'd given him all three $20 bills! The jerk never bothered to tell I'd given him too many and my taxi ride of two blocks cost me $47.00. I had to walk to Sixth Avenue and 52n Street to withdraw another $60.

After my haircut, I went to Music Theatre International to drop off some Guys & Dolls materials. That was a nice visit. I now have to contact the Taxi-Limousine Commission about my monetary disaster.

That completely sucks, DR Elmore. So glad you have the receipt with the cab ID.

Just anecdotally (because I know this won't make Dr Elmore feel any better about it), I've seen that with brand new twenties two or three times in just the past couple of weeks. Even a guy at my bank said he was having trouble separating these new ones.

Now I forget what I'd intended to sign in to say.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #43 on:** November 16, 2016, 09:32:31 AM »

It'll come to me later.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #44 on:** November 16, 2016, 09:33:23 AM »

Got to keep moving and get a few things done. Have to run out of here at 3:00 or so, and I'll be back late in the evening.

We're celebrating Skip's birthday today by ordering from one of our favorite restaurants for lunch, and then we'll have a very small dinner here tonight.

I had to give Skip his main birthday gift a little early. it's a cookbook that looked really good online, but I didn't realize how large the book was, and the packaging was even more enormous. So rather than having that big box hanging around, i gave it to him in advance.

DR Laura did you see a lot of cool looking classic cars in Modesto?

I forgot to say this yesterday:

Rhubarb Pie.

We used to have a bunch of rhubarb plants growing next to the garden fence when we lived in the country the first time. My mother would cut the rhubarb and make pies which I loved with ICE CREAM.

Then one day late in the summer, I saw both of our dogs relieving themselves all over the plants.....I didn't eat anymore rhubarb pie after that.

😄 LOL 😀

On of the many advantages of Keith's raised vegetable beds in Ashland.

DR TCB if you have a kidney stone I hope it passes super fast. Are you feeling better today?

Jane · « **Reply #49 on:** November 16, 2016, 10:11:02 AM »

DR John I like your mustache, grow it back fast

I don't get new bills very often, but when I do I scrunch them up and try to separate them.

What a horrible story, Elmore.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #55 on:** November 16, 2016, 10:35:00 AM »

A horribly aggravating story...the fix for which requires even more aggravation.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #56 on:** November 16, 2016, 10:35:50 AM »

Back from filling the car's tank.

(Something I thought you all should know.)

Jane · « **Reply #57 on:** November 16, 2016, 10:41:51 AM »

It is 10 degrees cooler today than yesterday. Burrrrr.

I'm up, I'm up - almost eight hours of sleep.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #59 on:** November 16, 2016, 10:46:34 AM »

I scrunch my new money as well DR JANE.....or sometimes I separate them and put old bills in between the new ones.
