Well, you've read the notes, the notes were alarming, and now it it time for you to post until the alarming cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: BUNBURY!
-
good morning to all
-
Good morning, Mike. :)

1776
Aladdin
Beauty and the Beast
Hairspray
Hercules
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Jesus Christ Superstar
The Lion King
The Little Mermaid
Little Shop of Horrors
Mamma Mia!
They're not all my absolute favorites, but certainly some of the more preferred.
-
Darling Lili
Fiddler on the Roof
Bedknobs and Broomsticks
1776
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
Pete's Dragon
Grease
Jesus Christ Superstar
The Muppet Movie
Hair
Little Shop of Horrors
Little Mermaid
Beauty and the Beast
The Lion King
Evita
Chicago
South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut

I'm glad to say the Cinerama discs have arrived. They didn't get held by Customs but were shipped via Germany hence the slight delay.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Saturday.
Better Day vibes for DR ELMORE.
Vibes for DR GINNY and Richard and her Mom!
-
Today is a work day. Ugh.
-
TOD:
Many of those already mentioned.
Especially:
The LIttle Mermaid - movie NOT stage
Little Shop of Horrors
Hair
-
I will add Back to the Beach, just because it was fun to see everyone again....although there were no original songs.
-
Good morning, all.
Will have to be E&T most of today, then ketchup tonight.
-

Was the Jamaica Ska an old song?
-
TOD
Broadway musicals first:
"1776" is my number one, no question. I used to like "Jesus Christ Superstar", with a few qualifications, but have no idea how I'd feel about it now. I always wanted to like the "Fiddler on the Roof" film more than I actually ended up liking it (this one needs to be revisited at a time when I'm in just the right mood for it). I do like "Hair" more than I used to. Believe it or not, I've never seen "Little Shop".
I dunno, it's tough. Whatever their various flaws, the filmed musicals of the '50s/'60s are the ones that ring my bell, now and forever.
Original Disney stuff, etc., no problem:
Bedknobs and Broomsticks
The Lion King
Beauty and the Beast
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
The Little Mermaid
South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut
-

Yes.
-
Oh I did like SOUTH PARK as well. The soundtrack CD is very funny on it's own.
-
Off to work. Oh well.
-
Good morning, all.
Off to a long day. Maybe some rest tonight.

Yes.
The number felt so fresh when I first heard it in that theater on 3rd Avenue and 57th Street in the Bloomingdales area, as fresh as... well, I actually liked the whole experience, as silly as the whole thing was, i really did, i'm not going to make too much fun.
-
Good mornng, all! I slept really late and I am up and moving.
I have nothing to report.
-
Saturday morning greetings! I slept like a rock last night and woke up quite refreshed about 7:30am. In an hour or so, I'll make my way to Tina's for a haircut. This afternoon, Michigan football - Go, Blue!
-
...Vibes for DR GINNY and Richard and her Mom!
Thank you, DR JRand!
-
I just got up after a very fitful night. You'd think I'd be a lot more fit today after being so full of fit last night. But no.
-
Having just watched "This is Cinerama" I like some of Max Steiner's music but I see that the Label X CD goes for enormous prices. Maybe a label like Kritzerland could reissue it?

And the word of the day is: BUNBURY!

Good morning - I'm up and ready to go to a Liturgy Committee meeting.
That's all I have.

I'll read the notes upon my return

BK: Just sent you a PM updating my free time in L.A. next week.
-
Have to go E&T now. Back tonight.
-
From DR Laura:
The paramedic gave my mother a blanket. And billed her about $40 for it.
That seems a bit high but more reasonable than saying the paramedic shouldn't give someone a blanket when they need it.
-
DR Cilla I've had caffeine withdrawal & it does cause headaches. You have to go off of it slowly.
-
CONTINUED VIBES FOR SHARON, HEALTH & COPING!!!

The way your week went this may be a good thing ;)
SENDING YOU ALL AROUND GOOD VIBES!!!

Had a haircut & style and scheduled a perm for Nov. 16, timing it so that I can have it cut once before our trip to England. I've had lunch and put together one of Richard's favorite dinners - chicken & rice. I guess it's a casserole, but the meat isn't chopped up and mixed in. It's a rice mixture with boneless chicken breasts on top. I'll put it in the oven about 4 and we'll eat when the Michigan/Illinois game is over.
-
I'm finally up - well, I've been up since nine, stayed in bed, and I guess I fell back asleep. Must get crackin' right now.

Oh, I forgot Evita.
-
Forgettable, I'm sure to most.
-
Funny, DR Ginny posts about making dinner and then Bruce says he is just up for the day.
-
I swam and then answered an important email that required a bit of research. Now I need to wash my hair.
-
Still working on
death taxes. Just dropping in for a quick ketchup -- and am shocked, shocked, to find us on Page Two.
-
I think everyone is at the Ashland Y. It sure was packed today. We couldn't even park in their lot and had to go across the street to the Albertson's lot, which was ok & as we passed the Redbox we used a free promotion code to get a movie.
Last week the pool only had three swimmers. This week the double lanes each had three people when I became a fourth. I was standing in the shallow end talking to someone when I saw the person in the single lane begin to exit. Boy did I scoot quickly through the middle lane to the single lane. It is so much easier to swim when I don't have to worry about someone crashing into me.
Just before I did my last lap I mentioned to the guy in the lane next to me I would be getting out. He slipped into my lane and waited for me. He has an injured shoulder which was doing better until someone ran into him. He was very happy to take my single lane.

Today's euphemism: Bonus Coverage
That's what ABC Sports calls it when they leave a lopsided game (Michigan 38, Illinois 0) in the third quarter to cover another game.

Okay, page two? Two pages? I'm not having this, especially with what we're dealing with today with this site.
-
I am shocked! Oregon State and BYU are tied - Again!
-
Okay, page two? Two pages? I'm not having this, especially with what we're dealing with today with this site.
How are we suppose to post if we can't get to the site?
-
I suggest we don't go this route and that we get a frenzy or three going on because I'm going to have to be doing some major stuff for the site, which includes redesigning, moving everything to a new web host and finally bringing this all up to date, because this site is always in constant danger of imploding due to the antiquated and ancient software used to create it in 2001. It doesn't help that the gentleman who did the creating won't talk about this at all - he has washed his hands of it, so we're on our own in doing this, which is daunting and scary. We're having to find a web person who can actually figure out how to save all our archives for the notes and discussion board - then we need to basically clone the site, move it to our new web host, and then we can start getting everything into the new version. And when I see not even two full pages of posts at three o'clock California time, I just have to ask myself do I want to go through all that, just so everyone can go live on Facebook and not come here as much. Former dear reader Sandra lives on Facebook now and makes amusing posts that, I have to tell you, three people see, instead of doing them here for people who really like her. I don't get it, frankly. But that's Facebook - everyone thinks that millions of people are seeing their stuff, but the way it works now, I think anyone with a brain knows that's not the case. And that is how I am feeling at this time.
-
Can't get to the site? What does that mean exactly? Has the site been down? It hasn't for me.
-
DR Cilla I've had caffeine withdrawal & it does cause headaches. You have to go off of it slowly.
I just drank coffee. :)
-
Wow, I do think the people that populate this site on a regular basis are trying very hard here. And those of us that miss a few days apologize for our E&T-ness. We'll do what we can to save our site.
And on that note, I'm off to work.

I have just had trouble a few times today of being bumped out when I post. I don't know if it is the fault of the site or the fault of the typist. I just know that it can be frustrating, but I keep trying, until it works.
-

Nastiest time of my life, perhaps. I slept 36 one weekend and had the worst headache for what little time I was awake. My staff told me if I ever went back on caffeine, they would quit. I apparently was not the charming self that I am otherwise. Or at least that I think I am.

Got to judge a mac and cheese cook-off this afternoon. Quite different. But all the carbs are making me sleepy. I think I need a late afternoon nap.
-
About a week or so ago, I asked if anyone could help me with making this 5 Way dinner. I bought the Cincinnati Chili, but I don't know what kind of cheese to use, what kind of beans to use, and I don't know if just use the spaghetti plain, or with butter, or with cheese, or what. The onion I can figure out myself.
Anyone?

Sometimes when that has happened to me and not everyone it was due to a slow connection that timed out.

Sorr DR TCB I can't help you.

(http://www.savorsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/mac-and-cheese1.jpg)
Here was one entry. A very strange entry. The chef made spaetzle, not macaroni. And that light licorice flavor from the chervil on top was all wrong. All wrong.
-
It looks cute ;)

Shredded cheddar should work fine for the cheese, the finer or fancy shred is better.
They use kidney beans, as I recall. I really don't like beans in chili, so IMHO it ain't necessary. (I felt at home when I moved to Texas and discovered that real Texans don't put beans in their chili, either.)
Spaghetti is plain, just drained. I prefer the angel hair or thin, but i know you can use any kind of spaghetti you like.
The hot sauce is something I can't really remember. I know it's not really hot, but it adds to the overall dish.

Off to a nap.

I knew DR John would come through for you DR TCB.

Sounds like that song from the end of "Shenandoah." "I am ready, you can pass the cross to me."
Since I'm not supposed to have pasta, it was -- in its way.

I was going to post on Facebook that I was going to have a 5 Way this weekend, but decided against it.

I bought a new book for my Kindle today. I have never heard of the book, I have never heard of the author, and I have read no reviews about it. Still the name of the book was RETIREMENT CAN BE MURDER, so I figured it would appeal to me.

Or, as they sing in "Ballroom," "Five's a popular indoor sport."

Finally four!

I opted against the nap. Probably wouldn't sleep the night through.

I didn't even bother to take a nap today, but I did stay in bed until nine o'clock.

I wish I could have stayed in bed all day. I puttered around the apartment, wrote few emails, listened to KISS ME KATE, counted all of the change in my change jars, and that was about it.

John, some lady on line was complaining how much money she spent to make the Cincinnati chili from scratch, plus how much she spent for high quality hot dogs. Where do the hot dogs come in to this recipe?

USC is already ahead of Washington 10 to 0, and the game just started!
-
Uploading six of the seven mixes from last night, although I already know that I'm raising the volume of the strings on the first half of one song, so I mentioned that when I sent it. I didn't send the seventh because my reliable memory kicked in while I was listening to it - I struggled with it last night and it still isn't to my liking, but I suddenly remembered that I had Lanny do a Hammond organ pass on one song - well, we have never heard that and this is the only song that makes sense, so I asked the engineer to go do some sleuthing and find it. The tracks were not well labeled in NY and that's been a struggle, too. Once we have that track added into that mix, it will give it what it's missing.
-
Earlier, I picked up an important envelope and no packages, then satisfied my craving for a Tom's bacon cheeseburger and onion rings. I only ate half the onion rings.

DR TCB, my memory is cloudy but I believe you put the hot dog inside a bun and top it with the chili and cheese. The spaghetti, chili and cheese are a separate entity.

You are correct, Elmore. And it's called a coney. Not a fancy hot dog or bun.

The roses in the back yard have been particularly wonderful this year. I wonder if it's because I didn't cut them back in February.
-
DR TCB, for a 5-way you also need chopped onions.
-
Sorry to hear about Gary Collins. I used to enjoy his talk show when i was a stay-at-home Mom.
-
I'll read the notes upon my return
With taxes due on October 15, I'll try to get you those notes for your return as soon as possible. Just make sure to get that postmark on Monday.
:) A little hilarious accounting humor
-
Finally four!
Finally! Interesting choice of word! That word's been on my mind a lot lately - there's a poster on ATC by that name who makes interesting observations.
-
Watching Cabaret tonight, what with the TOD. Haven't seen it in at least 10 years. Fosse was amazing.
-
I wish I could have stayed in bed all day. I puttered around the apartment, wrote few emails, listened to KISS ME KATE, counted all of the change in my change jars, and that was about it.
Sometimes a quiet day is good. I hope you found a good amount of change in the jars.

USC is already ahead of Washington 10 to 0, and the game just started!
Keith graduated from USC, as did my father, my uncle and a nephew. Craig came close to going there when he decided on Carnegie Mellon instead. I wanted him to go to SC.

They are beautiful. I like the color.

Back, and DONE WITH THE #@!%$ TAXES.
A load off my mind. (Mind? I have no mind.)
-
A few things to respond to. First, I don't think I ever have a problem getting on here, or posting, or anything. Today included.
-

Thanks. That's just one plant. There is another orange rose as well as one that is white, both of those are also in bloom.
-
Second, I go either way with beans. With or without. Doesn't matter. I like it all.
For the rest:
The finest shred of cheddar you can manage. And dice the onions pretty small. If you like a hot sauce on the order of Tabasco, go for it. The ones on the table in Skyline and Gold Star might not be that hot, but hey.
-
Third, a Mac & Cheese cookoff sounds like heaven.
Except for that one you pictured. That's so typical of how people can ruin a comfort dish by trying to get fancy with it.
I have to credit BK's many mentions of it with getting me on a Mac & Cheese kick lately. It was disappointing that last time at Joe Allen when they didn't have it, because the previous time it had looked so good.
-
Fourth,
DR Elmore: was it the McGlinn Kiss "Me Kate"?
-
Fifth (and I think this brings me up to date):
I didn't like the Cabaret film back in the day because all I'd expected and wanted was some representation of the stage musical. I shall have to return to it eventually with a more mature pair of eyes.

It wasn't the winner. I don't have a good picture of that one. It had shishisto peppers, which are only mildly hot, but they had been smoked and matched with a smoky gouda. Quite nice.
One tasted like a casserole, where meat dominated the flavor. Another tasted dry, but with bacon. Another tasted watery, but with bacon. Then there was one with duck confit and spinach. It was good but it wasn't mac and cheese.
-
Five!

I didn't like the Cabaret film back in the day because all I'd expected and wanted was some representation of the stage musical. I shall have to return to it eventually with a more mature pair of eyes.
DR ChasSmith, I also disliked the movie for the same reason. Then I read I AM A CAMERA and discovered that the movie is truer to the written story than the stage version.

USC is already ahead of Washington 10 to 0, and the game just started!
Keith graduated from USC, as did my father, my uncle and a nephew. Craig came close to going there when he decided on Carnegie Mellon instead. I wanted him to go to SC.
I like the USC fight song.

The roses in the back yard have been particularly wonderful this year. I wonder if it's because I didn't cut them back in February.
They are beautiful. I like the color.
Thanks. That's just one plant. There is another orange rose as well as one that is white, both of those are also in bloom.
Photos please.

While I have not seen the stage version or read the book I have been under the impression the movie was truer to the story. Thanks for confirming it.

Right. I subsequently read some of the original writings, too.

Thanks to DR Jennifer I am currently reading the first Sherlock Holmes story, "A Study in Scarlet". I thought I had read all of the books. I think I need to return to these.

Tom's has a drive-through but is not a drive-in.

DR Cillaliz, re: the new cat sitter. Maybe talking to people she's worked for will give you some peace of mind. I'm sure she'll be okay. If others say she's done a good job then I'm sure she will be fine.

I think everyone is at the Ashland Y. It sure was packed today. We couldn't even park in their lot and had to go across the street to the Albertson's lot, which was ok & as we passed the Redbox we used a free promotion code to get a movie.
Last week the pool only had three swimmers. This week the double lanes each had three people when I became a fourth. I was standing in the shallow end talking to someone when I saw the person in the single lane begin to exit. Boy did I scoot quickly through the middle lane to the single lane. It is so much easier to swim when I don't have to worry about someone crashing into me.
Just before I did my last lap I mentioned to the guy in the lane next to me I would be getting out. He slipped into my lane and waited for me. He has an injured shoulder which was doing better until someone ran into him. He was very happy to take my single lane.
Is only 1 swimmer allowed in the single lane? Why would someone crash into you in the double lane? Do you mean pass you from behind? I'm assuming you mean hit you in the opposite direction? That could never happen at our pool because you always go up and down on the right side.

Why thanks to me? I don't think I've even heard of this book. :)

Speaking of pools being full on Saturdays. Our pool was packed. But I don't even know what time they allow people to swim. The mornings are full of lessons. They have bleachers. Today I saw for 2 hours while my niece had her sychro lesson. It wasn't too bad. I had my kindle and a book. And I was pretty much able to read. Even though it was loud it wasn't talking. Just music and an overall loud buzz. But boy was the place packed.

Yes, only one swimmer in the single lane :) It is almost half the size of the double lane.
Some swimmers can't seem to swim in a straight line and completely cross over the the swimmer on the "right side" opposite them. I can't tell you how many times I have hugged the rope to avoid getting hit. Then there are the fast swimmers, or at least fast at turning around when they get to the wall. They don't seem to look if someone else in front of them is making the turn to go back. They cross in front of me even though I'm on the right side & they are still on on left.

Well according to my nook facebook page you liked this along while back. The title of the book is something else, maybe Conan Doyle, can't remember at the moment, and has an introduction about Doyle & the doctor who was the inspiration for Holmes. I ordered it free off of you.

You have roses blooming in October?

DR TCB, for a 5-way you also need chopped onions.
Onions I've got. It was just a matter of what type of cheese, but mainly what type of beans. Fortunately, I love kidney beans.

I loved the movie, CABARET; but I was sorry that they used that title, since it had so little to do with the Broadway musical.

Busy day. The garden tour was today. The folks were fascinated by the caterpillars and spent quite a long time looking for and photographing them. After the tour was over about 1 p.m., a friend and I had lunch at a local Mexican place. Afterwards, I fell asleep and napped the rest of the day. I didn't know I was so tired.

A better version of mac and cheese.
-
DR TCB, it was 92 degrees here today and will be warm for awhile. I've had probably five waves of roses this year, since March.
-
I'd eat that mac and cheese right now.
-
It was nice out today.

Long evening. Long day.

Good night, John.

Okay, up to me.

Then Fosse should have called his film, I AM A CAMERA.

Well, BK, I apologize, but I had to take my pain medication, and now I need to turn off the computer.
-
I guess I will have to stop posting at 155.
-
G'night
-
Finished with my viewing.
-
Hi BK
-
Just popped in for a quick hello.
-
Looks quiet in here tonight.
-
I was going to say hello to TCB, but he seems to have signed off for the night.
-
Hmm...my favorite film musicals...good question..let me think for a minute
-
Ann has come to save the day, like Mighty Mouse.
-
Off the top of my head -
Gypsy (I know, I know, Bette Midler isn't everyone's cup o' tea for Mama Rose, but I loved her)
Annie (1982 version)
Beauty and the Beast
Aladdin
A Little Mermaid
Newsies
-
OH, and Little Shop of Horrors! How could I forget that one..
-
In other words, pretty much anything Alan Menken and Howard Ashman did together
-
Hmm, I'm being compared to an animated rodent. Ah well, I've been compared to worse.
-
And, I suppose I should confess, I really liked the film version of Rent. Yes, the actors were too old, but I don't care, I still liked it.
-
Mighty Mouse is tops!
-
I'd eat that mac and cheese right now.
That did look very good.

Today, I went to work for a couple of hours, then ushered for the Masterworks Choral Ensemble (http://www.mce.org/). They were quite good. I rarely see/usher for them, so I forget that I know several people in the group. I didn't see them after the show, so I didn't get to chat with them. Oh, well...maybe next time (almost a Cabaret reference ;)).
