I am so sorry George about the passing of your co worker
Web Tv - did it use your phone line? Was it an ISP? I only know ONE person who had it - and she disconnected it soon after getting it because no one could watch the tv when she was on the net.
Good morning, all! After DR Ben left, I tidied up and headed off to bed, where I lay awake in the dark for a very long time unable to sleep. I finally passed out but I slept fitfully with dreams I can no longer rememember. I would have slept longer, but I had to be up early to call Ron Raines before he boards his flight for the week cruise he's on. I wanted to check on the HANSEL & GRETEL production, hear how Charlotte is doing in the Berkshires, and wish him a safe trip.
Speaking of Ron, DR TCB, I did indeed loathe TITANIC on Broadway: it had a dreadful set, a horrid book, and a good cast including my friends Judy Blazer, Don Stephenson, and David Garrison. I remember some of the score as being quite beautiful - Maury Yeston is a good writer - and I remember phoning Jonathan Tunick to tell him how fantastic the orchestrations were the day after I saw the show (the day after its opening when it received tepid reviews) but I cannot separate the score and my wish to hear it again from a production I detested. I stll believe the show succeeded because of the success at the same time of the James Cameron film and because its Tony Award performance made it look much better than it actually was.
DR JRand59, I gather you have a problem with the Indianapolis Symphony? What's it all about, Alfy?
TOD: I'm pursuing my collectibles project, but if I had all the money I needed, I'd be pulling a John McGlinn and buying complete editions of the composers I liked - there's this New Johnann Strauss Edition I've been eyeign, but each volume in American currency is between $700-900 - and I'd be pursuing used music and book stores around the globe for out of print books and vocal scores. I have been buying first editions of books I like, and I'm waiting to pick up the first three early novels by Carl Hiaasen.
Margaret Cason, 83, passed away July 30 after years of dealing with the ravages of the Alzheimer's -- that damnable disease -- slowly taking her away. So although it is always hard to lose a loved one, especially a parent, we're so glad that she is finally at peace -- so we're at peace.

Gotta scram -- lots to do before we head to Texas first thing in the morning. I'll try not to be such a stranger, if you folks will tone down all the "variant activity" so my anti-virus folks will stop flashing the warning sign each time I try to log on ...
And the word of the day is: CASUISTRY!
I am so tired. I stayed up till midnight reading.
Now I am going to make some banana breads. I counted and have like 40 bananas in my freezer. And the funny part is that I don't buy/eat bananas (i like them okay just don't love them).
But my sister buys them every week. And every time she has 1 or 2 left over she gives them to me. They sure add up. Well at least i do give her half of my baking.

The Franklin Mint offered very, very special editions of Scrabble and Monopoly. There were also at table that went along with either Scrabble or Monopoly.
Well, Vixmom is feeling better -- but then she got sick first. Some of the kittens are still not feeling good -- little Arnold, in particular. I am feeding him baby food through a syringe.

Yes I did watch the VIEW, although not just for the President (although i did want to see him). I actually like the show and record it every day.
der Brucer I enjoyed the posters. :)
I could use some of those vitamins.
I hope that's not the census worker that shows up at my house.
We are currently getting a sprinkling of rain. Accuweather shows a very large storm headed my way. I wonder if THIS one will make it here?

I filled out my portion of the census. Instead of making Xs, I made crosses. So there.
I bought my funnels at IKEA.
I needed to buy a new funnel for refilling my cleaning bottle from the large economy refill bottle. Since my hands shake, it is not really a good idea to try to refill it freestyle.
When I went to the supermarket, I first looked in the cooking ware aisle, then the automotive aisle, and finally the cleaning products aisle, thinking that they might have it hanging there as an impulse buy. No luck. When I going through the checkstand the clerk asked me if I found everything.
I answered, "Actually no, I was looking to buy a funnel."
He stared at me for the longest time before he asked, "You mean, like a coffee funnel?"
I looked at him for the longest time before I answered, "Ahh, no."
We didn't continue the conversation.
So, no one bothered to listen to my hour-long interview on KGIL - I even provided a link and everything. Well, I've heard from some complete strangers who liked it very much, so that's nice at least.

I hope you know I wasn't teasing you, it just seemed a bit ironic that the only person who admitted watching the US pres. on the View is from Canada.

Gee, TCB, if you lived near me, I'd bring you some. I have several.

Seems like a sensible query from the clerk; home coffee brewers often need to replace the funnels on their coffee makers:

I'd love to know how the radio show sounds, so if anyone does bother to listen to it, let me know. And, as is usually the case lately, my darling long-time friend Jane never ceases to amaze me.
DR Ginny, I like you also have new additions to your book to balance out the losses.
Oh, I love Black Bear, Cillaliz. I am glad there isn't one too close! I love the Shasta Scramble, and yesterday I had the crab omelet that is one of the summer specials. It was the only thing I ate all day.
Yes, I had oatmeal today.

What is a strawberry malt?
I guess you could say it's a strawberry shake with malt powder in it
I was going to ask how different it is from a strawberry milk shake. Does it taste similar?
I guess I don't know what malt powder is.
Malted milk is a powder made of barley, wheat flour, and malt powder that is combined with milk to form a beverage. Often, malted milk powder is added to milkshakes to add sweetness and flavor. Only non-diastatic malt powder is used as a flavoring agent in malted milk, whereby diastatic malts are used in baking to help breads rise by breaking down starch into sugar.
Historically, the term malted milk was trademarked in 1887 by pharmacist James Horlick and his brother, William, at a factory in Racine, Wisconsin. The two brothers began Horlick Food Company by producing a powder that could be added to milk to fortify it for ailing infants. For more than six years, the Horlick brothers worked to improve their product and in 1887, produced the first-ever whole milk in powdered form. While originally marketed for infants, the product quickly gained popularity, especially among explorers, for its convenience and indefinite shelf life. Horlick's malted milk was widely available in drugstores as both a powder and a tablet, and pharmacists began using the powder to make a cheap syrup to sweeten sodas.
With the invention of an electric blender by Fred Osius in the 1920s, malted milk became a pop culture fad. The sweet powder could be flavored and added to ice cream to form a thick, filling beverage with a high fat content. A combination of the powder and ice cream was marketed as a complete meal-in-a-glass, and typically fetched a high price.
Malted milk has since found its way into many products besides beverages. In 1939, the Overland Candy Company added it to their Giants candy product. After a merge with Leaf Brand, the product was re-released in 1947 under the name Whoppers™. It is also used in biscuits, bagels, hot beverages, and as an ice cream topping.
While usually high in fat and sugar content, malted milks are rich with vitamins and minerals. Carnation®, Ovaltine®, and the original Horlick's malted milks are a good way to boost caloric intake and milk consumption in children, especially picky eaters. Most modern malted milk products found on the shelves are heavily sugared and still remain a special treat.
Thanks for listening and letting me know it's okay. And I guess the link on the page before this works, yes? I liked Joe a lot, and he sent word that mine was one of his favorite interviews in the whole time he's been doing this show. Very nice to hear.
And yes, darling, dearest Jane, because you didn't have time to listen. How times have changed. :)
Back from dinner with Alet. The pianist was sick, so we just went and ate and talked about a lot of stuff. And we now have our replacement for David Engel - a wonderful actor/singer named Damon Kirsche, who's done quite a few things here in LA.
Aww, Poor Vixmom. I hope you feel better.
i hope I feel better inthe morning

I've never heard of banana bread mix. Is it any good?
If you still need eggs and bananas then really you could just make the banana bread without the mix. Not that many more ingredients.
And now, I'm off to work.
Have a good day, all!
George, why are you working today? This is Saturday.
Hello, everyone.
My condolences to MISS KAREN and CASON.
My condolences also to GEORGE.
And how about that 3D Diffusion?
He said that? Maybe I should listen to it :) I don't like listening to myself, really. But Joe was great - really good questions, very positive, and really put me at my ease.
