Well, you've read the notes, the notes were borscht, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently playing the borscht belt circuit.
-
And the word of the day is: HEURISTIC!
-
A Very Happy Birthday to La Jolie Femme, (aka Mrs. Julieanne Pogue)!!
-
Happy Day to Julieanne
-
And Morning all.
That is all.
-
Happy, happy, Julieanne!

I love borscht, especially when it gets truly hot outside. I used to make it a lot when I lived in Florida. And one of the things I enjoy most is the beef stock used as the base. I'm sure it was intended to stretch that scarce meat in yet another direction, and I would make a homemade stock boiling down a pot of bones. Well, a vegetarian friend uesd to get after me because she could never try any. Since she was a great cook and friend, I made a pot with a vegetable stock just for her. I couldn't stand it. Even though she liked it, I never made it for her or anyone else that way ever again.

Favorite Jewish foods? One of the sore spots on our culinary landscape in San Antonio is the lack of a good deli. One will open and the customers will flock to it in the beginning. Then you get the complaints: The prices are too high, the sandwiches are too skimpy, the quality of the ingredients is not right, it's not like New York ... The place closes in a matter of months, if not weeks.
But give me a corned beef sandwich on some good sourdough rye with enough mustard and a pickle on the side, and I'm happy.
Simple, I know, but sometimes simple is best.
And some handmade rugelach for dessert.

A Very Happy Birthday to La Jolie Femme, (aka Mrs. Julieanne Pogue)!!

Good morning, all! This is a McGlinnventory day, and we missed yesterday because of the crew coming in to redo our offices. There should be a lot of surprises today that I look forward to discovering. Our major goal today is to begin unpacking and setting up all the printed composer editions and prepare them for sale, although outside of a library, I cannot fathom who would want a complete edition of Shostakovich in Russian. I've got my eye on Johann Strauss, William Walton, and the Tchaikovsky ballets. Maybe some of the Verdi operas, as well.
After that, a couple of hours editing with Skip Kennon, and then home. I will continue my reading of Mr Kimmel's new book, and that's my day.
-
Speaking of Jewish food, where's our DR PennyO? Artie's is not Artie's without her, and I do love their matzoh ball soup and the stuffed cabbahge, although it's sweeter than I'd like.
-
birthday cheers to La Jolie Femme aka Mrs. Julieanne Pogue

Frankly, the best corned beef sandwich I've had here in Austin (and that's not saying much) was at Jason's Deli.

You can buy it at the grocery store, but they don't serve it in restaurants.

My CD of Legend of the Lost arrived yesterday.....with The Last Man on Earth printed on the CD....most interesting....but of course the music and everything else is correct, as reported by MR BK yesterday.....

BK re: the LOST opinions on tuesday's show. I think 90% of the people on televisionwithoutpity agreed with you (that with just 2 episodes left it was ridiculous not to focus on the main characters).

DR Jane last night you asked if i baked my honey cake in a loaf pan. No, i've always done it in a round bundt pan.
And re: the recipe you emailed me last night. My recipe has tea not coffee. If you're interested i can post it.

Happy Birthday to La Jolie Femme!

I can't even look at borscht without wanting to vomit.

Jewish foods that i do like:
bagels
knishes
chopped liver
gefilte fish
potato latkes
lox
brisket
matzah ball soup
-
Happy Birthday to Mrs. Julieanne Pogue!

My wife makes the greatest chopped liver in the world.
I love it!

Re: This week's LOST
SPOILER WARNING! (Just in case...)
I agree with BK and DR Jennifer on this--an episode like this would have been acceptable maybe four weeks ago (like the Richard Alpert episode was), but not during the final three weeks and especially not after the way we last left Jack, Kate, Hurley and Sawyer on the beach.
And as for the episode itself, it felt rushed, crammed, full of plot holes and, worst of all, emotionally uninvolving. And I was not fond of the young actors--for a series that has consistently cast actors of incredible caliber in almost all of the significant roles, they've pulled a clunker with those two boys. Mark Pellegrino often looked puzzled about what he should be doing as Jacob, but Allison Janney and Titus Welliver saved the day as far as I'm concerned.
I'm just marking this one as a total misstep and hoping for the best in the next week's hour and then in the finale.
-
Re: Last week's LOST:
SPOILER WARNING! (Just in case...)
Question for those of you who watch LOST in HD: on my standand tv screen, Jin and Sun's final scene was framed so that while I saw Sun's head and hand floating underwater, all that was seen of Jin was his still hand slowly pulling away. Was his head or face visible in widescreen? I ask because I am wondering...

TOD:
I like a lot of Jewish food, but I'm feeling slightly nauseous this morning so I take a pass...

Happy Birthday to Julieanne Pogue!

Thursday morning greetings! I'm about to leave for an overnight trip to Columbus to attend the Ohio Prospect Research Network conference. Fortunately, it looks like the thunderstorms won't arrive until I'm settled into the hotel.

Happiest of birthdays to Julieanne!

Will the move proceed apace? Will the HDMI switcher work? Will the DirecTV guy be able to handle the four story house and the wall fish installation? Will JMK ever have internets again? These and other questions (including, of course, is this because I'm a lesbian?) will (hopefully) be answered. . .

According to Comedy Central, Sioux City has officially ruined the internet, lol. Well SOMEone had to do it....here's the SCJ coverage of the story

BK re: the LOST opinions on tuesday's show. I think 90% of the people on televisionwithoutpity agreed with you (that with just 2 episodes left it was ridiculous not to focus on the main characters).
SPOILER SPACE---
But as close to the end as we are, how much is left to DO with the main characters? We know now the monster's intent. The only thing left is for them to try to outwit him and kill him or him to pick them off one at a time. In any event, three hours of programming left should be sufficient to bring THAT part of the story to its conclusion. What I'm curious about is how the sideways timeline is going to be integrated into the story proper. There should be time to do that, too.
I don't see what all the fussing is about, but I know I'm tiring of all the veiled insinuations.

Good morning!
Warming up again as we head toward a high of 90 tomorrow. Argh!

Once again, no UPS deliveries of those MGM Blu-rays, so it looks like ROBIN HOOD: MEN IN TIGHTS will be today's work project. Should make for an easy day since all of the bonus stuff has been watched and written up and I only have to flesh out the review's introduction and conlcusion to be done with it.
-
Season finale of SUPERNATURAL tonight along with new episodes of BONES (with the return of the Gravedigger), FLASH FORWARD, THE OFFICE/30 ROCK, GREY'S ANATOMY, and THE MENTALIST.
-
A friend told me last night that he's read CBS is thinking of moving CSI back to Friday nights at 9. if they do, what does that mean for MEDIUM? Cancellation, I'm afraid.
-
I've all kinds of respect for differing opinions on "Lost", but I have to ask: How are Jacob and the Smoke Monster NOT major characters on the show? The latter has been a major force since Season 1. And Jacob, while unseen, has been referenced innumerable times through the seasons. They are the crux of what the island "is", IMO.
Frankly, I think they've pretty much said everything that needs to be said about the remaining cast members other than who will succeed Jacob and will the others get to go home or find some peace. I think a lot is going to be happening in that final 2-hour episode.
But that's my $.02. And I'm not charging anyone, 'cause 2 pennies saved are 2 pennies earned. (And I'm not talking about Pennie Widmore).
-
Aside from that, however: GOOD MORNING, HAINES HIS WAY!

Happy birthday to dear reader Pogue's dear spouse Julieanne Pogue.

I could use a big old bowl of split pea soup!
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
The only Jewish foods that I'm not fond of - well, more accurately, that I'm scared of - are the fish-related ones: herring, gefilte fish, etc. I do like lox and gravlax, but even sometimes the fishiness of those products can get to me - and not in a good way. It's more of a texture thing rather than a taste thing. Otherwise...
I do love me some brisket, pastrami, latkes, kugel, bagels, bialys, challah, hamantaschen, honey cake, rugelach, etc., etc., etc...
-
As I was saying...
When I woke up yesterday, I found out that there was no internet connection in my parents' house. After going through the usual routine of disconnecting and reconnecting cables and turning things off and on again... Still no internet. Then my Dad came back from his doctor's appointment and informed me that he was in the process of switching over from Comcast to Verizon, and, apparently, Comcast had already started the switch-over - even though Verizon wasn't supposed to do anything until later this week. I guess he didn't realize that Comcast would start things on their end so soon - he had only called that (yesterday) morning. -Thankfully, I did have my iPhone, but the 3G signal in my parents' housing development only seems to work for phone calls and not for constant internet access.
-
Then came the highlight of my day: lunch with two of my former college professors, mentors, teachers, secondary parents and friends, Liz & Gary Hopper. I usually see Liz at least once a year at one of the theatre conferences, but I haven't seen Gary in at least three years. I had hoped to see them a few weeks ago when I was in Richmond for "Brassy Broads", but Gary had come down with pneumonia and Liz was also dealing with a major sinus infection. They were both in very good health yesterday, and the lunch was very good; and the conversation and catching up was truly sparkling. And the big hugs were very heart-warming too.
-
...And then when I got back to my parents' house, I discovered that my parents had driven up to Fairfax to attend a school show that their grand-daughter, Alexandra, was in. So who's going to drive me to the airport then? Thankfully, after some phone calls, I was able to find a chauffeur, my "cousin" Ryan. Of course, due to some major thunder storms that were moving through the area, my flight was delayed, but at least I knew about the delay before I had headed to the airport. And once I was on the plane, it was a pretty smooth flight, although we did hit a bit of turbulence about 20 minutes in.
Once I had landed at JFK, I found out that the "late night" work on the E train tracks began at 10:00pm (late night?). So it took me about 30 minutes longer to get back into Manhattan than usual, and once I got back to my apartment, I basically put my bags down and crawled into bed, and... Zzzzzzz.....
And then Con Ed started some emergency work outside my window around 4:00am... Said emergency work required cutting into the asphalt... :-\ *They're still working outside, but, of course, no more cutting, drilling or scraping.
-
As for "Lost"... I really did like this week's ""Lost" Watch" on the NYTimes' blog. Quite a good analysis with some good questions answered and raised.

I always thought of stuffed cabbage as Jewish. I have come to believe it is Eastern European.
Do you mean Kugel? It is very tasty warm. If I recall Arties serves a rather tasty kugel.
My mother-in-law had the best recipe for Blintzes. I don't make them very often as I can rarely find the cheese for it anymore. She used hoop cheese. When that wasn't available I used the crumbly farmer's cheese. I don't like the creamy cheese I usually can find.

And re: the recipe you emailed me last night. My recipe has tea not coffee. If you're interested i can post it.
Thank you. I didn't ask because you said it was a family recipe. I would like to try making it. Is the batter thick? The circular motion of stirring is still very painful.

My wife makes the greatest chopped liver in the world.
I love it!
I wonder if it tastes like my mother-in-law's did. After eating her chopped liver I couldn't eat any other. In a way it was sad :) Luckily for me she made it rather often. One of the hardest foods to give up when we became vegetarians was her chopped liver.
-
If the "I'm tiring of the veiled insinuations" line was directed my way, I must really take exception. I am stating an opinion, just like everyone else. I have said repeatedly, if those who love the show love the show no matter what, that's great. And my opinion is that those who have loved this show through thick and thin will go anywhere with it. That's not an insult, it's not veiled, and it's certainly not an insinuation - it's how it appears to me, and the comment is certainly not directed at anyone specific - because I occasionally read the various Lost boards to occasionally get opinions as to what I'm occasionally missing, and that is how it seems to me. And there's nothing wrong with it, but I also see nothing wrong with mentioning it. It's a phenomena of today - never used to happen at all - a bad episode of a series was not the end of the world, and every series since the beginning of TV has had them. But today, the kinds of shows we have tend to bring forth passion like I've never seen. In any case, if anyone took anything I said as a "veiled insinuation" please don't because it was not meant that way. I think everyone here knows me well enough to know that I don't EVER feel the need to be veiled or to insinuate - I just come right out and say it if I'm thinking it.

I should try baking Challah like that. It would cut more easily for sandwiches. At this point I'm not sure I'll ever be able to make bread again, but if I ever do I will try that.
I have been craving a good Jewish Corn Rye, today's post are only reminding me how much I want one. At least Keith made latke's last week and I have a little bit of challah in the freezer.

Greetings from northeast Columbus, OH! I got here with just enough time to check in and get my luggage to my room before this afternoon's session began. The speaker was Cecelia Hogan, author of the book Prospect Research: A Primer for Growing Nonprofits. If you really want to know what prospect research is, watch Season 1, Episode 7 of Castle. When Castle and Beckett attend a fundraiser for a dance company, the development director creeps Castle out by knowing about his daughter. She says, "...[we] try to know as much as possible about their donors so they can match their interests with the appropriate programs." She's talking about prospect research.

I think I understand this. All the casting calls televised down through the years....all the little girls singing "Tomorrow" in talent competitions...etc.
But I did see a splendid, glorious company perform the show here in San Francisco a few years back. It had a new song for Daddy Warbucks which was "okay", but seeing the entire show and hearing that glorious score was a total joy.

I've been pondering this one...and Jewish penicillin was hovering at the top of my list (along with a nice Reuben sandwich).
But now that I've thought about it, I feel I can say with certainty that it's the Kosher Dill Pickle I like most of all.
I'm afraid to ask what Jewish penicillin is. ;D
Seriously?
Chicken soup.
My brain went to mold. ;)
-
I thought his statement was pretty clear - go back and read it. I've written him an e-mail, but I'm sorry, this is too much.
I did, before I posted. I can see why you would think otherwise.
-
I wish I had taken my camera yesterday, why I didn't know where I was hiking is beyond me. I think my camera would have taken better photos, it would be interesting to know for sure. I would also have gotten some of the beautiful wildflowers we saw, and the little green frogs that still had their tails.
-
The damned dog is barking again. Steadily. A pox on his master.
I was paying bills, but i cannot find my cable bill. I hate it when I misplace bills
-
Bruce I keep forgetting to ask, did you have lettuce the night you got sick?
-
I did have a salad the night I got sick. And having now heard back from the person in question, I was quite correct. He will not be back. He thought I gave him a "tongue-lashing" in the e-mail I sent him. I can print the e-mail here and I don't think anyone would find any evidence of that, other than my frustration, which was obvious. His e-mail response, however, did include quite a tongue-lashing and I'm here to tell you that I have never treated this person with anything but kindness and respect - no, I don't always agree with his opinions or notions, but I have never insulted him, so yes, that is frustrating and yes it is baffling and yes he is gone and yes it is fine.
-
I gotta tell you.
-
I do, by the way (BTW, in Internet lingo) know how to give a tongue-lashing and believe me there's no mistaking it. But that was not the case here.
-
HAPPY "BELATED" BIRTHDAY WISHES
TO OUR VERY OWN DR SAM!!!
-
And I do know how to be terse and insulting when I'm pushed - and there's no mistaking that either. And that was also not the case here.
-
This makes me very sad.
-

Never mind, I don't think you had E. coli, thank goodness.

Apparently it was mistaken. As many of us have learned tone can be misunderstood when communicating online. This is very sad.
-
Therapy was different today. Along with doing the important stretches the therapist worked on reducing my pain levels. Of course to do that he still had to hurt me ;D Actually nothing he did today hurt as much as usual :)
-
DR Jane last night you asked if i baked my honey cake in a loaf pan. No, i've always done it in a round bundt pan.
And re: the recipe you emailed me last night. My recipe has tea not coffee. If you're interested i can post it.
Thank you. I didn't ask because you said it was a family recipe. I would like to try making it. Is the batter thick? The circular motion of stirring is still very painful.
I'll post it tomorrow. I don't mix it by hand i use a hand mixer. The batter is medium thick. The funny thing about the recipe is that my mom just wrote things like "add raisons". But never said how many. I need precise ingredients!
-
I've never tried canned or jarred gefilte fish. That doesn't sound as appetizing as the kind i get. It's just wrapped in saran.

Listen, if I unintentionally said something that someone misinterpreted I'm happy to apologize for it. I don't think that's the case here, but if it IS the case, then sorry. I don't like when anyone leaves, and I have always said that I enjoy his posts and having him here - ALWAYS.

Tonight is the season finale of PRIVATE PRACTICE. I am definitely gonna stay up for this.
And SURVIVOR, with the finale on sunday it should be getting good.

This makes me very sad.
Ditto. :-\

Ditto from me too.
Hopefully everybody will calm down and he will come back.

I found the missing bill so I am quite happy.
However, I am not happy about this last turn of HHW events. Since I consider this site one more dysfunctional family, I'm hoping that time will take care of whatever the heck went down. It usually worked in my family until I decided that Macbeth was dead forever.

LOL, I'm the same way, wanting precise or at least approximate measurements. No rush on the recipe. I have a craving to try it. I don't think I'm coordinated enough to use the mixer with my left hand. I might wait a couple of weeks before trying it with my right hand unless I can get Keith to do the mixing.

Really! Do you buy it at a deli? I've never seen canned, have you?

I'm not happy about it either, and I hope MattH will return at some point, even if he avoids me and my posts like the plague :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
TO DR JULIEANNE POGUE!
-
I always return books early to the library. Today I went online & renewed two books. I didn't even know if I could do it early. I'm sure one will be returned in time. I figured since they don't always process the returns immediately it would be safer to renew it.
-
I would certainly like for MattH to return. Perhaps he will just need some time to cool off. I know several of us here have at one time or another left, but we have (mostly) all come back..eventually.
Well, some have.
-
I certainly hope that cooler heads will prevail.
-
It's the time to disco.
-
Grand Hotel.....time will tell. I also await the return of DR MATTH. Time will tell.
I have felt singled out and trod upon now and again....left once....but there is nothing to replace HHW, even BookFace....so time will tell.

Just finished watching the 1954 film AMAR. Quite a Peyton Place filled feature about a young, very handsome attorney (Dilip Kumar)"plays with the emotions" of a illiterate village girl (Nimmi), even though he is set to be married to a lovely college educated gal (Madhumbala).
When the the village girl ends up pregnant, all heck breaks loose in the lives of this threesome.

Howdy all!
I knew what Jewish Penicillin (aka Chicken Soup) was from watching Steven Kings, “The Stand”.
Fran’s father came down with the super flu and she brought him a tray with “Jewish Penicillin—Chicken Soup to the great unwashed.” I get the penicillin part but not being Jewish, I’m guessing “the great unwashed” is any one who is not Jewish. Is that right?
I didn’t know Jewish people were the washed people either. Who knew? :)
Word of warning: Never, Never, NEVER touch a Mexican Prickly Poppy. I thought I was going to have to call 911 because I was having a very bad reaction after having grabbed one by accident because it was hidden by other weeds I was pulling.
I’ve lived here over 30 years and this was the first time I encountered that plant.
Needless to say, it is toast now. I bought some Round Up and sprayed it with about half a bottle.
In other news, I heard from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regs. I just happened to send an email asking where my case was and was told that it went before the board THIS morning but he didn’t tell me if I won or any details except that I would get the results by mail in about 3 MONTHS!
I sent another email asking if it was a great secret or could I at least be told what the outcome was. Geezzz sometimes I feel like I’m pulling teeth.
Speaking of pulling teeth, tomorrow is the dreaded day that I get the one with the crown pulled. Not looking forward to that at all.
Sigh. My life is a soap opera and I’m the star!
Lastly, we had a fly at work today so the conversation turned to the movie. Francis said she just loved the remake and when I told her I sometimes posted on the same board as the writer, she asked that I pass that along.

Nice to see Danise back amongst us.
-
Hiya, Danise!
-
Hi BK!
Hi Laura!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DR LA JOLIE FEMME!!!!!
A very, very, very Happy One to you DR La Jolie Femme!
-
Back from dinner at The Cheesecake Factory with 6 other conference attendees.
-
Hi, DR Danise!
-
Sorry to hear about Matt H and I hope all gets sorted out.
I know I still rack my brains as to what I did to make the people I was staying with so mad at me. (Not Thelma). I bent over backwards to make things as nice as I could.
I tried to keep Sheena and I out of the house on the weekends so we wouldn't always be there and underfoot. I bought her a plane ticket to go home and see her Mom when she was dying. I couldn't pay a lot to stay there but I thought they knew up front that lack of money was the whole problem. If I could have afforded to stay someplace else, I would have. I didn't find that hotel until the last couple of months but to be very honest, that was just luck because I couldn't have stayed there for much longer either.
-
I'm glad you are ok after your pricklypoppy adventure. What happened?
-
Hi DR Ginny!
-
We have a different species of pricklypoppy here. It's very pretty.
-
Hi Danise,
Didn't you know chicken soup is Jewish? At least it is with matzo balls added.
Good luck with your tooth pulling tomorrow. Is anyone driving you? I hope you don't have far to go.
Vibes with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regs
-
I'm sorry DR Danise has left, yet what good timing for DR Charles Pogue to arrive & read her post. :)
-
I'm glad you are ok after your pricklypoppy adventure. What happened?
I had mowed the lawn and noticed some weeds growing between my fence and the guy in the back's fence. I didn't see the pricklypoppy because it was hid in the other weeds. I wasn't wearing gloves (never had to before) and just reached in to grab them. Next thing I knew I got "stung" by something sharp.
Within an hour my hand has swelled to twice it's size but worse I could feel something like fire going up my arm into my elbow. Then my shoulder, then the middle of my shoulder blades, then the other shoulder, elbow and hand. Within the NEXT half hour I was feeling the same fire in both my knees and then my ankles. In short, everywhere I have arthritis. It didn't bother my lower back or hips.
You could have fried an egg in my hand because it was so hot.
I know I should have went to the hospital but I didn't. Monday I still had a very upset stomach and had a weak/dizzy/sick feeling.
Should have went to the doctor but I didn't.
I haven't felt good all week but it's going away on it's own.
I contacted some of our guys who work with plants and they didn't know what it was either so they contacted USF and they came up with the name. It is toxic but also used in many parts of the world for many medical problems. That doesn't mean that someone can't have a bad reaction to it.
I was told they are going to take the pictures I snapped of it and are going to put it in their book in case one of the guys gets into it while working out in the field and has the same kind of reaction I had.

I have to be honest and say no I didn't know that. I never really thought about where Chicken Soup came from.
I'm told I can drive myself afterwards. It is quite away from where I would drive in South Brandon.

Watching a wondrous motion picture on Blu and Ray.
-
DR Laura -- this one had a pretty yellow flower with a red dot in the middle.
I will go post pictures on Face Book.

-
Good luck tomorrow Danise. There can be a lot of bleeding after a tooth is pulled.
-
Danise, did you take a Benadryl or something? Have you learned what to do if it happens again?
-
OK, posted on Face Book. Trust me, if I had seen this thing, I never would have touched it.
-
Good luck tomorrow Danise. There can be a lot of bleeding after a tooth is pulled.
Thanks, DR Jane.
-
Danise, did you take a Benadryl or something? Have you learned what to do if it happens again?
No, I don't have any Benadryl. Next time (if there ever IS a next time) I'm going to the emergency room.
-
Watching a wondrous motion picture on Blu and Ray.
What movie?
-
A wondrous motion picture entitled The Kid, starring Mr. Charles Chaplin.
-
Oy and vey, this day is drawing to a close. It took three (count 'em) techs from Qwest actually showing up here to get the phone and internets working. Tomorrow after I've had a good rest I will tell you about my hours on the phone with Qwest. The DirecTV installation actually went rather well for the most part, though I had misplaced the plug to one of the tv's and that delayed things. But we're here and semi-ensconced.
-
Cool. I think I've heard of it but I don't remember ever seeing it.
I rented "Imitation of Life"-- both versions-- to watch this weekend.
-
JMK, I didn't expect to see you today. Thanks for stopping in with the brief update. Enjoy the first night in your beautiful new home!
-
Well, I have a big day tomorrow and had better get some rest.
'Night all!
-
DR JMK - glad to see you online so quickly at the end of your moving day. All the best to your family in your new home!
-

Love that movie!

Hello, dear Haines Way pals!!!!
Thank you for the myriad b-day greetings. I am touched....and moved as well. Touched has always just come with the territory with La Jolie Femme! (I live my life in exclamation points...tiring but loud.)
I'm writing on Charles' computer because SOMEONE (I will name no names) has not approved my new password...and I may not even get to use my wonderful moniker. Say it ain't so, Joe.
My best to all of you wonderful people out there in the dark.
And now, Mr. DeMille, I am ready for my close-up!

It's a pretty flower, Danise. I hope you never see another one.

Thanks for explaining that. ;)

Thank god, I don't watch all that much TV to get my knickers in a twist over anything that airs or anybody's opinions about it.. It's frickin' TV, after all! It just ain't that important.
-
I agree.
-
Will you please inform the lovely wife that I approved her and her new password the day she applied - she needs to check her spam box or her e-mails because it was done and I can't do it again because it was done. Being done, one can't do it again.
And just to be sure, I am not responsible for your Internet being down :)

I need to ice my shoulder-'night.

I need to ice my brain.

After scouring the notes and the posts, I must honestly say I can find no insult, veiled or otherwise, and certainly nothing that would prompt leaving this here delightful site, full of delightful people.

The Vixter asked me to make this request:

Please help our school district to win a $10,000 grant tohelp stamp out distracted driving - please go to thos website and vote for Deer Park High School, Deer Park, NY.
Please share this link with all your Facebook friends and ask them to vote too!
Thanks!!

I didn't see anything either. But then I just skim the television posts, since I have no clew what they are about.
-
Happy birthday Julieanne Pogue.

Extra special vibes for everyone.

You and me both, Laura!

Just spent an hour in the garden. The rescued rose plant has new leaves. yea.
Now off to get ready for work for Friday.
Have a great weekend.
love ya.

They sell it at delis here. But there are a lot of Jewish people in my area. So they also sell at the grocery store.
-
They don't even know what Jewish rye bread is in Texas.
You can buy it at the grocery store, but they don't serve it in restaurants.
The only version I like is at Central Market. Reminded me of what I have every time I get back to visit family in Germany.
-
...and potato latkes.
Are there any other kinds of latkes?
I've had them made with sweet potatoes. Quite wonderful.
-
It is a delightfully delightful site, and I'm sorry if I got a little huffy earlier. I just get frustrated when I'm misinterpreted or misunderstood.

i'm still getting to learn all of you in this happy family that DR Elmore calls dysfunctional. I had to listen to two verbal fights today that were over nothing (well, they were over the way our procedures are constantly changing), but they didn't really matter in the long run. And I'm hoping that today's dust up will likewise settle down and we are all one group again. So, vibes for calm for all.
-
We're a swell group, really, John G.

Summer tourist season must have started. Room rates to stay in the valley are double what they were 2 months ago. Am going home after work on Friday. Might have to miss Saturday. :'( Unless I want to annoy one of my friends, in Santa Monica, in Echo Park, in Studio City, but all are busy with other things. Keeping the kid and grandma open for next weekend. Will see.
-
I hear the train.

There ARE other places besides the Sportsman's Lodge, and you really shouldn't miss Andrea.

I think one is allowed to get huffy when another seeks for insult where there is none...and I mean not even remotely.
-
Just because I'm not sure what is being discussed about insults, but any references made in the past to a certain Shakespearean photo have never been intended to belittle or insult, but merely to celebrate.

Good Evening!
Well... I left my apartment around 12:30, and I didn't return until about an hour ago - 12 hours later. -Whew! *In the meantime, I've been resetting the various clocks in the apartment.

Let it go, folks. Just let it go.
-
I've written about half my questions for Andrea.
Well...
One thing I've always wanted to ask Ms. Marcovicci: Since she makes her career as a cabaret artist, a solo cabaret artist, is there anyone she would like to duet with? (Or: -with whom she would like to duet. ;) )
And...
Do the terms "chanteuse" and "stylist" bother her?
