Well, you've read the notes, the notes were competitive, and now it is time for you to post until the competitive cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: MANSUETUDE!
-
~~~Vibes for Some Little and Large Miracles Aplenty for BK!!~~~
-
Good morning, friends.
-
Sorry about your surgery postponement, DR TCB.
-
~~~STRONGEST VIBES~~~ that everything gets worked out, and quickly....
-
Congratulations, BK, on your lofty new perch in the HHW firmament!!!!
-
I don't know from Gushers. What is it, fish?

~~~DEALING WITH MERDE VIBES~~~ for BK!!!!!!!

~~~LITTLE AND LARGE MIRACLE APLENTY VIBES~~~ also for BK!!!!!!
-
Good morning, all!
-
I slept rather well last night. I woke for a bathroom break around 2:30 to find Stella and Thatch romping about the apartment in a very frisky mood. Around 4:00 Annabelle demanded to get under the covers where she stayed happily until the alarm rang at 5:45. I had a dream about a carnival or circus that I no longer remember and, just before the alarm rang, a dream about my eye surgery.
-
DR TCB, I have been generously gifted several times around Christmas with Omaha Steaks hamburgers, hot dogs, filets, and chicken breasts. Like Harry & David, I rank them very highly. My current refrigerator's freezer is too small to accommodate a delivery since the meats arrive in nice storage cartons and, thanks to Ann and Jen, I am currently up to my proverbial neck and jam packed with packages of frozen veggies.
-
I have a small Amazon Fresh delivery arriving this morning. I need to do some laundry, but my legs at the moment are not prepared to deal with it.
-
I have registered several more votes in the BroadwayWorld derby.
-
We are expecting about 7 inches of s**w here today.
-
TOD: I find the zero-sum mentality of competitive people repulsive. That is all.
-
How McDonald's advertised back in the Renaissance:
-
Nicole Kidman was actually fronting for me. I was the secret purchaser of Hugh Jackman's hat.
-
Because someone still wears a hat.
-
Good morning, all.
-
We are expecting about 7 inches of s**w here today.
Yikes. So sorry.
-
Not feeling it this morning.
-
Would prefer to remain in bed. Not an option.

And the word of the day is: MANSUETUDE!
You can do anything that you want to do, but don’t you step on my mansuetude.
-
Good morning
-
I woke up in a rather bad humor
-
I don’t know why
-
I seem to have slept well
-
I don’t remember any dreams
-
Perhaps I was having an argument in a dream I no longer remember
-
In any event I’m cranky
-
Hopefully this feeling will leave me by time I arrive at work
-
For now, I shall Wordle

DR vixmom cranky is still nicer than most everybody else.

I have been in a spate of cancelling recurring charges. Most entities do not make it very easy.
-
Surprise, I know.

Nevertheless, I shall persevere.

It has begun.

The Mississippi River is just beyond the furthest cope of trees. But quite far down.

Kitty cleanup is over and I wait for Amazon. I would rather go back to bed.

Good morning, all.
-
The weekly Tuesday morning dilemma with our on-camera Team meeting:
Do I have to shower, or can I get away with artfully arranging my hair?
-
A first-world dilemma, I realize.
-
But a dilemma nonetheless.
-
And DILEMMA spelled backward is AMMELID.
-
In case you were wondering.
-
As you were wandering.
-
Last night's run-through was so beset with little disasters, it eventually became hilarious. We started in varying degrees of exhaustion, and it showed.
Full costumes and photos tonight, and I know it will go much better. We still have tomorrow to screw everything up again before the preview Thursday.
-
~~~RUN-THROUGH VIBES~~~ for DR ChasSmith and Company!!!!!!
-
DR George, are you still reading Andrew Lloyd Webber's autobiography?
I thought I'd give it a try after you mentioned it a ways back. So far, I find his "style" kind of annoying.
-
Good morning.

Elmore, Leonard sleeps in the heated cat bed. He loves it.
-
I woke up in a rather bad humor
I’m sorry.
-
From DR John:
Bought tix for Hawaii in June.
Lovely. I would have liked to gone and toured Pearl Harbor for my birthday. We can fly non-stop but it was farther than Keith wanted to fly, and he really doesn't want to go there to begin with-lol
-
From Vixmom:
I am so angry at the subpar healthcare you are receiving
Yup :(
-
I am so sorry DR TCB.
-
From DR TCB:
The real irony of this whole day is that the surgery was scheduled for Wednesday (11/30/22). They could not procee because we did not have a timely CoVid test. As of Thursday (12/01/22), the Coved test is no longer required prior to surgery.
:o
Maybe that is why your order wasn't done, in their minds they had moved on from covid testing. I do hope someone apologized to you.
-
It doesn't make sense that you couldn't get the test today when the surgery was scheduled for tomorrow.
-
From DR George:
Tomorrow, I have an appointment at 11:35 a.m., to get my car window replaced at the dealer. Earlier tonight, I taped a garbage bag to my open window and HOPEFULLY it'll stay on while I'm driving.
Good luck. I hope you don't have to drive far as it is cold out there.
-
Congratulations, BK, on your lofty new perch in the HHW firmament!!!!
Ditto!
-
The Mississippi River is just beyond the furthest cope of trees. But quite far down.
Still not too far away. It sounds lovely.
-
Elmore, Leonard sleeps in the heated cat bed. He loves it.
Awww.
-
Vibes for DR TCB.
-
Congrats to MR BK on his new millstone. And miracle vibes on the way as well.
-
DR VIXMOM thanks so much for the Air Fryer ideas yesterday. I have copied them down.
In a few minutes I shall make my lunch hot dogs in the new machine.
-
I am especially intrigued by the little roasted potatoes.....and I may try that later this week.
-
I have tried once again to vote in the BWW competition and once again that site froze my computer - I can't get it to work.
Today I didn't even get past the first page where I voted for A Doll's House Part 2 over You Can't Take It With You and C*ck.
-
Competitive people get on my last nerve. I understand wanting to win - I used to play some sports and of course there are card games and board games.....but it takes so much of the FUN out of activities.
As for theeder - talent will take you where you need to go. Concentrate on your own self - then of course there is the dichotomy of competition and ambition.....someone should write a book.
-

Elmore, Leonard, meet Elmore Leonard.

Hand surgery scheduled for Dec. 19.

DR ELMORE your dream indicates that you are in melancholy mood but that can be helped by joining in rather than holding back in things around you - it also cautions that you can make a better impression of yourself on others if you wish by expressing yourself honestly in every situation.
-
Dec. 19? Merry Christmas!
-
DR JOHN G - the mind reels at the couplets that Mr Cole Porter wrote for his own amusement and for those in his close circle for You're The Top!
-
Well the air fryer hot dogs were a great success!
-
That is good, DR Jrand72. You are almost tempting me to take the plunge. However, kitchen real estate is scarce.
-
DR Jane reminded me that I meant to say that I am very happy that DR George can get his car situation resolved today.
-
And very glad that DR Jrand72's car situation was also resolved.
-
:)
-
DR JOHN G - the mind reels at the couplets that Mr Cole Porter wrote for his own amusement and for those in his close circle for You're The Top!
I like Irving Berlin’s best. At least the version oft attributed to him.
You’re the top
You’re King Kong’s penis …
-
I'm up, I'm up - barely. Maybe three and a half hours of sleep.
-
Then there was Noel Coward’s take on Weren’t We Fools.
Porter’s original: You chose another, so did I.
Coward’s rewrite: You chose your brother, so did I.
-
Haven't heard from the editor so don't know if that's happening.
-
People are funny.

What useless/useful information I have stored in my brain. I’ll be banned from the nursing home v

If you look at the folks in the director category you'll know exactly what I was referencing in the notes.

Funny backwards is ynnuf, which is pronounced enough.

Four?

Four!

You got all of that out of two fragmentary memories? I am impressed!
-
I've been watching these magician things on YouTube - this one is absolutely priceless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB_KBH_NUsQ
-
That is very cute.
-
It's the subject and location of the dreams that give the clue DR ELMORE.
-
DR singdaw yes - my countertops had to be completely revised and the blender was banished back to the pantry from whence it came last year.
-
The U.S. has scored a goal - so they are ahead in this MUST WIN World Cup Game.
Now showing on ABC.
-
Guess I will be seeing episode two - will leave here in forty-five minutes. Helper still isn't here. So, I texted her and told he I had to leave by twelve-thirty.
-
Helper will most likely be tomorrow.
-
Gratuitous post 99!

Hand surgery scheduled for Dec. 19.
I hope your surgeons office gives you all the appropriate pre-op info.

We are expecting about 7 inches of s**w here today.
We got some today in Tumwater, but it has since turned to rain.

It has begun.

I was supposed to go to the rehearsal of TAO's next show, Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol, but the director called and said that they were going to just work the second act, so it wouldn't be worth my time, so I didn't go. I will tonight, no matter what it'll be like.

DR George, are you still reading Andrew Lloyd Webber's autobiography?

I actually haven't started it. ::) I want to finish book 7 of The Expanse that I'm currently reading.

Hand surgery scheduled for Dec. 19.

They’ve been fairly thorough so far.
-
I have to be there st 5:30 am, which I am not looking forward to.
-
My friend Hillary told me her dad had the surgery when he was in his 80s and he was so glad he did.

USA Soccer team has advanced.

That’ll be my sports news for the year.

I am lucky that most of my doctor's offices are good. I left the ones that aren't.

Groan, still better than an afternoon time.

Vibes you feel the same way.

This morning Keith dropped me off at my doctor's appointment before going to the gym.
-
Once I was done I walked over, in the rain but well covered, to meet him. He walked out just as I arrived having seen me through the window.
-
We stopped at the market and then drove home. As we were getting out of the car Keith realized he didn't have his phone or his tablet.
-
On the way back to the gym I called and they couldn't find it.
-
We had a scary 15 minutes until, just as we had given up, Keith saw both his tablet & phone sitting on top of a machine.
-
WHAT A RELIEF!

I am so glad that your story had a happy ending, DR Jane.
-
I am forever leaving things in the wrong places.
-
I don't know why I can't keep my wits (such as they are) about me.
-
Erma Bombeck's newspaper column used to be called "At Wit's End."
-
I am so glad that your story had a happy ending, DR Jane.
Thanks so, were we :)
-
Normally when he is done with the cross trainer he puts his tablet and phone in my bag hanging from my treadmill.
-
Erma Bombeck's newspaper column used to be called "At Wit's End."
I enjoyed reading her column though I didn't remember what it was called.
-
Good evening!
-
Wordle: 5/6
-
While Keith is on the cross trainer he holds my bag for me until I am ready to get on the treadmill.
-
Back from seeing episode two. As we do, we watched it straight through, and then went back and I made only a handful of small adjustments. It's really funny, one sequence especially - a pie fight that is everything I hoped it would be.
-
Food ordered - burger and fries from a place I've only tried once before - Five Guys burgers.
-
It's a real nice day for a
clam bake pie fight.
-
Keith's cousin is sorting through her family photos and found one of Keith & me when we were 21. It must have been taken at her parents home. I keep laughing at the photo. The old photo kind of left me with black on my front teeth which goes well with the pink (ugly) scarf I am wearing around my head & tied under my chin.
-
Keith asked why I was wearing a scarf. I guessed maybe my hair didn't look good. Honesty, at that age I can't imagine my hair looking worse than the scarf ;D
-
Get me off this damn page.
-
Had the quick make-up rehearsal for my sick gals - they're doing fine.
-
The burger was VERY messy - it was good in its way, just too damn messy. Fries were okay.
-
Not sure if I'll watch more Trial by Media episodes or a movie.
-
Just not sure.
-
I'll be sure when I make the decision.
-
Until then, I'm not sure.
-
Anyone seen a page six lying around anywhere?
-
As things are edited, we occasionally need new music scoring cues, so Richard Allen does those very quickly, either variations on what we have or new things.

Back to Murder at the Earl Carroll Vanities. The last showstopper was called Sweet Marijuana. Very smoky.

Mom is at the rehab center. I don’t think she’s doing well.
-
Onward!

In one.

From DR George:
Tomorrow, I have an appointment at 11:35 a.m., to get my car window replaced at the dealer. Earlier tonight, I taped a garbage bag to my open window and HOPEFULLY it'll stay on while I'm driving.
Good luck. I hope you don't have to drive far as it is cold out there.
It was cols cold and s**wy mixed with rain. I was able to tape a plastic bag over the window opening and I don't think any water got in.
-
Six!
-
PAGE SIX DANCE!!

That’s good.
-
HOWEVER, it turns out that when I made the appointment to get the window replaced, no one bothered to let the parts department know to actually ORDER that damn part! :o
-
I'm sorry about your mother, DR John G.
-
Oh, DR George. That is so frustrating, And in my experience, so typical for dealerships. Darn.
-
Did they give you a new timeframe for the fix?
-
AND they said that they don't deal directly with insurance companies, so they'd bill me for the whole thing and I'd have to get reimbursed by my insurance. ::)
-
And is it still in 2022?
-
Such incompetence.
-
They said that they'd order the part (they have some in Portland, OR, but it'll take a few days to get here), then they'll call me again to come in.
-
And aggravation.
-
So, unless/until my sister needs her car back, I'm still driving her Honda CRV.
-
Page six made itself known.
-
Now that we know page six, where the HELL is page seven.
-
I called my insurance agent and left a message, but she hasn't called back. Hopefully, she will tomorrow.
-
That's what I'M talkin' about.
-
Mom is at the rehab center. I don’t think she’s doing well.
Sending hugs and vibes.
-
The next song in this masterwork is called The Rape of the Rhapsody. Seriously.
-
Now, to ketchup on the posts.
-
HOWEVER, it turns out that when I made the appointment to get the window replaced, no one bothered to let the parts department know to actually ORDER that damn part! :o
OMG!
-
We've been alternating new episodes from Season 3 of "Miss Scarlet and the Duke" (on PBS) and the new season of "The Crown" (on Netflix).
-

Better than if it was called The Rhapsody of the Rape.

Hopefully she can send you to someone who can fix it right away.
-
George, did the do anything to cover your window better?
-
Guess I'll go sit on my couch like so much fish.
-
'night
-
Pretty sure if I start watching that I'll be asleep in about thirty seconds.
-
DR Jane reminded me that I meant to say that I am very happy that DR George can get his car situation resolved today.
Thanks, Singdaw, but.... :(
-
Well, what do you know? Page seven has made an appearance and you know what THAT means.
-
It means page eight is waiting in the wings.
-
What useless/useful information I have stored in my brain. I’ll be banned from the nursing home v
Nope...you'll be the hit! ;)
-
I'm waiting in the wings.
-
If I'd eaten some wings, the wings would be waiting in me.
-
I have to be there st 5:30 am, which I am not looking forward to.
Yikes! I hate early happenings!! :P

My friend Hillary told me her dad had the surgery when he was in his 80s and he was so glad he did.

The number was bizarre. Duke Ellington and his orchestra took over. He was young and his piano playing was exciting. Strange. It ended with the conductor mowing down the chorus with a machine gun.
-
I called my insurance agent and left a message, but she hasn't called back. Hopefully, she will tomorrow.
Hopefully she can send you to someone who can fix it right away.
When I first reported it and we spoke, she had some places that they had dealt with, but the seemed very far to drive with a broken window. Now that I've driven it this short distance (5 miles each direction) and pretty much survived, it probably wouldn't be a problem to drive to Tacoma or Shelton. :-\ We'll see what she says.
-
If I'd eaten some wings, the wings would be waiting in me.
It's funny how that works.
-
George, did the do anything to cover your window better?
I didn't really need to. It worked pretty well to keep out the rain, but I used a black garbage bag and couldn't see anything from that side, so I'll try to get some clear plastic and redo it.
-
Eight would be great.
-
But it's getting late.
-
I may not be able to wait.
-
Perhaps I should be more sedate?
-
We can always deliberate.
-
Or visit Kuwait.
-
It's just a few more.
-
A few more it's just.
-
A few more would be just.
-
Justice for just us.
-
What am I talking about?
-
It's an enigma.
-
As Elgar might say.
-
EIGHT!
-
Good night, friends.
-
Good night, Singdaw.
-
Only two more posts and Singdaw reaches a momentous millstone!
-
Well, I must be off to rehearsal.
-
I'm just going to observe tonight and tomorrow...and maybe Thursday.
-
I haven't heard if they're rehearsing then, but they probably will.
-
I'll definitely be there every rehearsal starting on Sunday!
-
The show opens a week from Friday!
Until later!
-
I believe I went out like a light in thirty seconds. For about forty-five minutes.

Vibes for the mother of DR JOHN G.
-
I am very upset about DR GEORGE's experience!
Where is the customer service today? Where is - what can I do to help you? Where is that's my job so I will do it?
No where - that's where!
-
Still 57 degrees here but low temps in the morning then back up to 60 degrees tomorrow.
I'll take it - for the last day of November.
-
DR vixmom cranky is still nicer than most everybody else.
Awwww you’re sweet…
and obviously never rode in a car I was driving
-
I am especially intrigued by the little roasted potatoes.....and I may try that later this week.
I made some this very evening in fact

I’ve learned my cousin, Gary, died this morning
-
His mom passed in February, his dad this past October .
-
He was their caregiver these past many years
-
I feel especially badly for my cousins, his sister and brother, they’ve head a very hard year
-
I am very upset about DR GEORGE's experience!
Where is the customer service today? Where is - what can I do to help you? Where is that's my job so I will do it?
No where - that's where!
Thanks for the support, Jrand. It's all about the corporate bottom dollar. :P
-
I'm just going to observe tonight and tomorrow...and maybe Thursday.
Well, I won't be back to rehearsal until Saturday.
-
Their next rehearsal is Friday, but I don't need to be there, so I won't.
-
I’ve learned my cousin, Gary, died this morning
His mom passed in February, his dad this past October .
Oh, no! :'( My condolences to you and your family, Vixmom.
-
Notes are written.
-
I have a feeling that page nine is lurking nearby.
-
I just feel it.
-
It's a nagging suspicion.
-
It's a kernel of thought.
-
Well, what do you know - page nine as I live and breathe.
-
Now, where the HELL is page ten?
-
Far, far away.
-
Well, let's just see what happens in the next thirty minutes.
-
Well, that's amusing.
-
Everyone disappears.
-
It's magic.
-
The Disappearing Dear Readers.
-
No TCB, George is down some rabbit hole or other and I am sitting here all by myself.
-
Well, let' see if that's actually accurate.
-
Welcome, fifty-eight GUESTS.
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
They must be read.
-
I read them, certainly.
-
I did.
-
Is there an echo in here?
-
Look at all that ME.
-
That is a LOT of me.
-
A plethora of ME.
-
ME to the nth degree.
-
Wonder which rabbit hole George went down?
-
We can't know because - he isn't here.
-
He is gone with the wind.
-
He has eloped with the damn wind.
-
And I, I'm the merry boy in pants.
-
Well, we've gone this damn far, we may as well go all the way.
-
When somebody loves you, it's no good unless she loves you - all the way.
-
I feel a page ten in my future.
-
I feel it's close.
-
I dood it.
