So I get a member request from someone wanting to join our merry troupe. As I always do, I sent an e-mail to the address from whence the request came and welcomed the person and said they'd have to hit "reply" so I know it's not a spambot, which most of these things are. So, an hour ago I got an e-mail saying it was definitely not a spambot. But something about the "name" smelled fishy, so I looked up the original e-mail address to which I'd sent my e-mail - something about it seemed familiar and I thought I knew what it was - so I did a little research, did a little Google detective work and found I was absolutely correct and it was our very own 3D Diffusion. Nice try, though. I did write her back asking if we might have a civil e-mail conversation so we could maybe figure out why she feels she must do the things she does - I'm genuinely baffled by it and would be interested to know the story so that maybe we could talk through it. I don't think she'll do it, but I suppose you never know.

Good morning, all.

Just finished last night's postings: Nice news about hearing from Jill O'Hara. Guess she's anxious to hear the whole "Promises" recording cleaned up, too.

TOD: "Turkey Lurkey Time," but not as song in the current revival. The song is a joke but not a funny one when you play it as a joke. So, as sung by a chorus of bimbos who sound as if they just sucked helium, the song falls flat on its face. No laughter. No showstopper.
I'm also fond of the rest of the "Promises" score and "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?" Also really like "They Don't Give Medals (To Yesterday's Heroes)" from "On the Flip Side."

Tuesday morning greetings! Today is "return to Ohio" day for Mom and me. We've had a fun couple of days with Laura, but she needs to get back to work. We're waiting for the fog to lift before we head east.
TOD (and apropos to above): "Knowing When to Leave." I also like the instrumental "Pacific Coast Highway."

Oh, my, here's what happened in my neighborhood last night:
Jesus Statue Destroyed by Fire (http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/dayton-news/jesus-statue-destroyed-by-fire-762245.html)
This church is between my mom's house and ours.
-
Good morning, all! I slept very well and I'm ready for whatever fresh hell comes in today.
BK, I love you dearly, but your continued comments on this last assistant make me want to slap you for being so pathetic at personnel management:
1. you have no address for her?
2. you've been "helping her out" and she's had "personal probems"?
3. she seems to be a problematic liar?
4. possible criminal inclinations because she's a mess?
Where did you find her? FLAKES R US? The next time you hire an assistant, on the books or off, I suggest you obtain a set of references so that you check up on the potentail employee before hiring anyone, a completely filled-out application with all pertinent rinformation such as an address or social security number, someone who's not an actress, someone with as little personal baggage as possible; you're hiring someone to work for you, not cry on your shoulder.
As I said, I love you, but this is ridiculous. She could be one of the guests, reading everything you're posting about her. What if she throws away your business papers? Doesn't Kritzerland have an attorney or an adviser for any legal problems? Your first problem is a basic one: you don't have her address!

TOD: So very many, but a particular favorite....
"Everybody's Out of Town"
Where have the people gone
Seems like there's no one hangin' on
Look through the window
The houses are empty
Hey, everybody's out of town
Seems like I'm the only one around.
All of the streets are bare
No traffic tie-ups anywhere
Don't have to wait for a seat at the movie
Hey, everybody's out of town
Seems like, I'm the only one around.
Everyone's moved out
from the ghetto
Lots of space
Empty apartments
No more pollution
Plenty of classrooms everyplace
And it looks like we're ready
To give it one more try
This time there'll be no alibi
I'm gonna send out a message to Noah
Hey, better send some people down
Everyone on earth,
Is out of town

TOD: A special nod of affection goes to:

BK, I would have recommended getting the invoices from the assistant prior to getting mad at her and posting things about her.
Next time, get back what you need in a nice way, then fire the person.

My walk to work this morning was uneventful. A guy who looked like Jesus wearing an overcoat, waiting at a bus stop and cleaning his fingernails with a knife, kept staring at me as I walked past, but he did not stab me or anything.

DR GINNY said Jesus was on fire last night.

My new desk set up. ;D

Greetings from Toyland!
Fresh hell from Fed Ex today!

Strange weather last night. Left rehearsal about 9 p.m.
To the east nothing but dark dark clouds.....behind me to the west the sun was shining giving everything a golden/yellow glow....spider web lightning - and a double rainbow!
-
Greetings from Toyland!
Fresh hell from Fed Ex today!
Can you imagine what the shipping was on THAT?
-
Greetings from Toyland!
Fresh hell from Fed Ex today!
At least FedEx delivered said hell to you. I always have to go pick my fresh hell up at the FedEx office.
-
DR GINNY said Jesus was on fire last night.
Flaming Jesus! The religious version of I DO I DO!
-
Jesus was valued at over $700,000 which seems a bit low to me.
-
Ginny, did I read that right? Jesus was struck my lightning?
-
I got to Toyland and found messages from Fed Ex. The first from Tyrone, who told me he was trying to reach my colleague Curtis to deliver two packages, he rattled off a tracking number so quickly I had to listen to hte message 3 times to write it down along with a phone number and extension. The second mesdsage, from another day, was a young lady from Fed Ex with the same info.
I called the number back and was told the phone number, indeed Fed Ex, was not what I should be calling and that the packages in question were going to Canada. So I called the Fed Ex 800 number and learned that the phone calls were made in May and that the packages were being returned to the shipper in Virginia. I went ballistic because of the following: neither Fed Ex caller left a date for the phone call, no one ever tried to deliver these cartons to the office or left a delivery attempt notice. So, i just got off the phone with our order person in Los Altos, and she will deal with getting our storage boxes delivered,

Pretty Nice Looking

The helper is not reading this site. The helper has apologized and tells me I'll have the invoices today. I have been nothing but nice to the helper, and even though my frustration level has been high over the last five days, I have not berated her or left her angry messages - I've been strong but nice in my dealings with her. Yes, I should have gotten her address, but even if I had it I wouldn't go over there knocking on her door because that would not be good behavior or the right thing to do. If the invoices aren't returned today, then the next step will be determined. The apology seemed heartfelt and she explained what's been going on in a brief way.
-
I'm up and it's quite a pretty day outside.
-
A lovely package just arrived at my
office desk cubicle from Amazon containing the AMERICAN IDIOT and A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC revival OCRs, along with a recording that someone here had something to do with but I won't mention it. Also received Jay Spears' BOY HOWDY cd which includes that "I Like Mike" song I posted the video of days ago.
-
I've printed out more orders.
-
And I also got the DVD of SATAN IN HIGH HEELS starring the one and only Grayson Hall!
-
And now I am waiting to call Apple - you can't get through to their regular number because today people are reserving the new iPhone - you also cannot reserve through the website because their servers are going ballistic trying to handle all the traffic.
But I have the number of the technician who helped me yesterday - I think he comes in at ten. While we solved the Internet connection problem, in doing all these resets something has happened to the Time Machine backups, which are not being performed and haven't been all day yesterday. So, got to fix that, and the fact that my screen saver is also not working - it just goes to a black screen. I checked on those preferences and they look fine to me so maybe I just have to restart the computer. I don't want to do that until the tech is on the phone, however.

For anyone watching tv tonight the President is supposed to be speaking at 8pm. I noticed my tv's guide changed the time for some shows.

I had to go through some hoops to get Apple on the phone. I went to Google to search the backup problem and the first thing I clicked on was on the Apple page - it didn't answer my prob but there was a form there to be connected instantly on the phone to a technician. I did the form, got a call, fixed the screen saver thing (which had gone back to its default settings) and then he switched me over to a Time Machine expert - when reconfiguring the Time Machine yesterday (and renaming it), it de-selected the device in the Time Machine backup. All I had to do was select the device, put in my password, and voila.

Select the Device
That was one of my favorite episodes of the old OUTER LIMITS series.

I am beginning to feel like a victim on PUNK'D. It is pouring down rain torrentially here, so I have spent the last hour in the leaking mudroom exploring every nook and cranny (and also every crook and nanny), without a drop to be seen. Yet I know when I return later there will be a pool of water at the lowest point.
My feeling is probably exaggerated by my having gotten the 10 DVD set of CANDID CAMERA over the years, in order to share it with the kids. The temp service I managed once provided temps to Mr. Allen Funt (we saved the check). It was during his early cable phase when he was doing naughtier bits. We were asked to select uptight secretary types and tell them they were going to be part of a market research group for a new air freshener. We sent them to a nice hotel in Vancouver, Washington, where they were told to spray various air fresheners and give their opinion. As they were doing that, a naked man walked in and started doing push-ups. :)
-
I believe BK may have once worked for a CANDID CAMERA knock-off.

Maybe I'm part of his upcoming reunion show. ;)

Off to the 5th grade "clap out" for Zach. His official graduation ceremony was this morning. It was extremely moving as they paid homage to one of his classmates, a sweet little girl who has endured two years of surgeries and much suffering due to a tumor on her brainstem. They've removed most of the tumor, but she had a stroke during the second surgery and has paralyzed vocal chords and is walking only with the aid of a walker. Two other girls read a very moving section of her blog today. I was a basket case by the time it was over.

Congrats to 5th Grade Graduate Zach.

You have that out of order, why would you want to be a member of a club when you so clearly dislike the leader of the club.
BTW, I don't dislike her, I feel sorry for her. Personally I felt it would have been better to have ignored her posts than to have commented on them. I'm in full agreement she was removed altogether.

I found out earlier that the power to the sprinkler system isn't working - I don't know how long it's been out, but I noticed the grass has not been looking healthy - the power is also affected in the living room for one wall switch - everything else is working fine and dandy. So, the Handy Man is coming tomorrow after lunch.

Yes, I'm back! Our drive home was pretty smooth and we had a nice lunch stop at The Sherman House in Batesville, IN. We made a small adjustment in our route to Mom's in order to drive past the ruins of "Touchdown Jesus." News vans from 2 Cincinnati TV stations were on the road with us. Got Mom all settled and came home in time to be here when the new (to us) loveseat was delivered. I'm pretty tired tonight and will probably go to bed early.

DR td & others who recommended the book, I am now reading THE DEVIL IN WHITE CITY. Our friends left it here for me. As soon as I'm done I have to mail it back since it belongs to her sister. So far, I am enjoying it very much.
OH! That's a REALLY good book, Jane!
-
Oh, I've already moved on - sorry if I wasn't clear about that - I have a new helper starting Monday - the ONLY unfinished business with the old helper is the return of the invoices. That hasn't happened yet, but I'm hopeful it will happen soon. If not, then I have to take more serious measures.
-
Well, I'm leaving work. Tomorrow is my mom's birthday and my sister and I are going shopping for something for her. She loves gardening, so I'm sure that it'll be something that has to do with gardening. :)
Until later!
Tomorrow is my Dad's birthday!
-
Oooo, I hear thunder. Wonder if anything in the area will be struck by lightening tonight? To keep it from being my computer, I'm gonna sign off for a while...bye for now!

I don't know if I mentioned on here before, but last Wednesday we had a gulley-washer come through in the late afternoon. I was already home when the rain hit, but my co-workers started getting phone calls from the Security Guards telling them that they might want to move their cars and quickly.
This was outside of our parking garage (the loading dock is in the center).

-
And if you were inside the garage when the door opened, this is what you saw.

-
Oh, and those blue tubs that are floating in the first picture were full of confidential paperwork that was waiting to be shredded. Whoops!
-
WOW! Glad you were already home. Was there any damage after the water receded?
-
And since no one else is posting, one more photo taken of the street outside of our building.

There is a brush fire in the McDowell Mountains several miles north of here. I am sure I posted photos of my hike there. That's where we saw the rattlesnake in the road.
Is this a new fire?
Just started this afternoon. I could swear the first time I read the online article it said 20 acres. When I read it to my DH a half hour ago it said 120 acres. Now it says 200 acres.
OH NO!!! I the other fire from awhile back completely out yet? You are not having a good year and it is already early in the season.
NO MORE FIRE VIBES!!!
-
My new neighbor has been around the past couple days. I wanted to meet him, so I did the natural thing...yard work. LOL. I'm sure he could tell it was sort of a ruse because he finally yelled "Hi Neighbor!" and introduced himself. He seems like a nice guy, around my age. His dad stopped by while we were talking and he introduced him too. Seemed like a nice guy. He told me that the previous owner was not willing to negotiate much at all even though there is a lot that needs to be done to the house.
-
No one else posting....what am I? Chopped liver?
-
Well, I'm leaving work. Tomorrow is my mom's birthday and my sister and I are going shopping for something for her. She loves gardening, so I'm sure that it'll be something that has to do with gardening. :)

Tomorrow is my Dad's birthday!
Tomorrow my mother would have been 90. It is hard to imagine what she would have been like at 90 since she was only 2 1/2 years older than I am now when she passed away.
-
Anyway, I don't think he's strange. Seems very friendly and interested in fixing up his house.
-
Jane, the other fire in southeast Arizona is still burning. It won't be contained until the monsoon comes -- probably another month.
-
My friend Al and I had lunch today. We've known each other since law school. He just bought a house not too far from me. He made it sound new and move in ready when he first bought it. He gave me a tour today. Let's just say it's far from move in ready. He's doing a ton of work he hadn't thought about doing before. He was asking what I would do with different rooms, it was fun to give him my opinion. He's started watching HGTV. I've got to get him into the color shows. He's an all walls white guy right now and it could look a lot better.
-
He said he is the most unhandy guy who ever lived....I told him he hasn't met my dad, lol
-
Jane, as far as I know I've never met her.
If she does respond to your email, with attacking you, I hope there will be some understanding to her actions.
-
Aren't the McDowell mountains just north of Scottsdale?
-
Used to be just north of Scottsdale.
-
You did mention it DR TCB. Without the photos I didn't realize how flooded the area was. You are very lucky your car wasn't there.
-
Have they moved?
-
LOL Cilla, why didn't you just walk across the street and knock on the door?
-
First Jesus is struck by lightning and now the mountains have moved.....what a day!
-
Scottsdale oozed up to the mountains.
There are preserves around some of the mountains, but they weren't able to get all the land before the developers bought it up and started building houses there.
-
LOL Cilla, why didn't you just walk across the street and knock on the door?
Well, the yard work needed to be done, that was real. I was going to go over there when I finished trimming the hedge in front of the house. He called over to me just before I finished. Then the neighbor on the other side came out and we talked about the new neighbor, then another neighbor came by and stopped and the three of us talked about the new neighbor....lol pretty funny
-
;D
-

I am lucky that my car wasn't in the flood, but I was disappointed that I missed all the excitement.
-
G'night!
-
Good night, TCB.

Jane, she addressed nothing in the e-mail, other than wanting me to approve her so she could search posts, as she finds the info posted here sometimes interesting. I was hoping we could discuss the deal, but apparently there is no interest in doing so.
-
Well, I was hoping for invoices in the last hour but, alas, they have not arrived. I'd had a text earlier saying thanks for the Hugo's offer, and that she'd come by after she finished her nanny job, which was ending at five today. Maybe it ran longer or maybe she's too tired - I don't know and I cannot fret about it. One way or another the invoices will be returned - I would just prefer it be nice 'n' easy, like the Sinatra song.
-
Welcome eight GUESTS.

I mean if she decides to respond to your email. I'm guessing she is lurking :)
-
I like so many of the songs already posted here.....
I think this was their FIRST chart hit....way back when....ladies & gentlemen.....Mr Marty Robbins....Live version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fj_YIo6WCCo&feature=related
Was that really Marty Robbins, or was it a smurf?
How short was he?
I think it's the camera.....I love how all of the band members look about 40 years old.
-
If she can search, then she can pick out one particular person's posts to read. I say if she wants to stalk someone, make her read through all the posts. Don't make it easier.
-
More rain and thunder......lights out in some of the little towns between the theater and home.....whew! No stop lights which means driving laws are suspended and everyone can drive the way they want to....or even stop in the middle of the road....it's like a garage sale.
-
Scary-stay safe.
-
LOL Laura.
-
Yes, stay safe, JRand. Are you home?
-
Yes I am home, DR LAURA.....
Thanks for comment on my photo, DR JANE! It is very different having a LOT of stuff out of my room and a new desk.....and all.
-
Storm seems to have moved on...
-
I just took a few packages to the postal office and I'm now in for the night - with no invoices. This is not looking good.
-
Yes we have no invoices.....we have no invoices today.
-
I think I will watch a movie.
I would like to see THE GIRL-GETTERS with Mr Oliver Reed, but it doesn't seem to be available anywhere.
I think a close second choice would be SATAN IN HIGH HEELS.....but I don't have that either......
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.................maybe I need to watch BOY AND THE PIRATES!

Wiggles. Declared vicious for biting a girl while he was on the couch in his own home and she was trying to figure out if he was a boy or a girl. What a crock....FREE WIGGLES

Hi. ;D

Hi Laura :)
-
ok my 2 cents
me thinks bk likes stress
-
sorry, could not help myself ;)
-
Let me tell you how BK does not like stress, especially this kind of unnecessary and idiotic stress.
-
Hi Sam.
-
I don't think she has the invoices any more.
-
2 days dental work, new tooth, 1175.00, now i'm really really broke.
But I get to say, I live at the beach. ;D
-
Yikes, Sam. That must be some tooth!
-
Sam, can you take a picture of your view from your house and post it for us sometime?
-
Saw bk's friend Cissy Wechter today.
Picked up a wooden antiqued looking sign for my front porch from her store that says:
BEACH (with a hand pointing to the beach).
My splurge for the month. $20.00
-
pictures, yes.
i have the camera, and the attachment to the computer, just not the how do i do this.
i'll try to read the manual on saturday. i have the whole day at home . Yea :) :) :) :)
-
Night Laura.
Night everyone.
Happy Wednesday.
8)
-
Night Sam
-
I don't think she has the invoices any more.
Well, I don't know what she would have done with them - they're in a box, there are about seven hundred pieces of paper, maybe more. I guess I will write one more e-mail tomorrow - give her the chance to bring them to her theater on Friday - and then take whatever action I deem necessary.
-
Night Cillaliz, love reading your posts. ;)
-
Good night, Sam. If you can get the pictures onto your computer, we can talk you through how to post one.
-
And everyone's posts. ;D
-
Maybe she put it on the roof of the car while she unlocked the car and forgot it was there.
-
Not that I ever did that with a deposition transcript or anything.
-
Now i'm really going to logout. :-[
-
Night Cillaliz, love reading your posts. ;)
Thanks Sam! I'd love to see your view of the beach!
-
Not that I ever did that with a deposition transcript or anything.
Sounds like there isn't a story here I'd love to hear ;)
-
She could have left them somewhere, thrown them away accidentally or on purpose or ..... It's beginning to sound like she really doesn't have them, otherwise why wouldn't she just get them to you?
-
Time to sign off and go to bed. Night all
-
DO YOU KNOW THIS PERSON?
"OOZING CHARM FROM EVERY PORE
HE OILED HIMSELF ACROSS THE FLOOR"
-
DR George, happy birthday to your mother.
Thanks, Jane! My sister and I picked out a glazed cement bench for her garden. It has leaf patterns pressed into the seat. I'll try to take a picture tomorrow. It looks very nice! :D
-
Well, I'm leaving work. Tomorrow is my mom's birthday and my sister and I are going shopping for something for her. She loves gardening, so I'm sure that it'll be something that has to do with gardening. :)
Until later!
Tomorrow is my Dad's birthday!
Happy Birthday (one day early) to your Dad, Cilla!

I'm watching "America's Got Talent" and this woman came on and sang Etta James' "At Last" and was fantastic! It turns out that she's Gabourey Sidibe's mother!
-
And then the last performer was this "illusionist" (and I use the term very loosely) who did magic that was so bad and obvious that it was really funny!
