Good news from the HHW East Coast contingent!!
Today is Saturday....my new ONE WORK DAY of the week.....hope I survive!
Glad to be back among the living especially since the temperatures have dropped into the 40s!!!
And the word of the day is: PALIMPSEST!
Greetings from Toyland! All seems good, but we need long florescent lamps. I need to tackle that this week.
DR vixmom, Mia Farrow is not in THE BOY FRIEND. Twiggy is.
TOD:
Truth be told none of these actors kick me in the butt. Other than Rosemary's Baby and Harold & Maude Ica't think of anything else, I've ever seen Ruth Gordon in (and I'm not that sure I've ever seen H&M, maybe part of it on TV). Mia Farrow has never compelled me and has absolutely no sex. Cassavettes I liked in the Dirty Dozen and The Killers, but beyond that, though I know I've seen him in other stuff, nothing sticks out.
Glad to hear all's well at Toyland, DR Elmore. How was the commute?The subways still do not run below 34th Street, so I walked down from there.. I'll take the bus back uptown and see how grisly that trip is.
Here's the recipe, Vixmom. I was thinking, Jane, if you did a vegetarian version of this, mushrooms might be really good in the mix.

Two tiramisus made. One with peach, almond and amaretto, which is really pretty. And one with blueberries and coconut, which is rather messy. Should taste good, but isn't the most appetizing-looking dish ever.
Now, time to get ready for Austin.
A link to Jose's "My Fair Lady," which starts tonight.

So, tonight's the night for clocks back an hour? I've heard nothing about this anywhere.
I have never seen Rosemary's Baby - I don't think I ever read the book either
I think I was too young when it came out -- I will have to look for it
Mia Farrow - Purple Rose of Cairo --- or The Boyfriend

DR vixmom, Mia Farrow is not in THE BOY FRIEND. Twiggy is.
I stand by my statement, my favorite Mia Farrow movie is The Boyfriend
in the spirit of the election season I will not let the facts get in the way of my pronouncements

With Michigan's decisive victory over Minnesota the Little Brown Jug will remain in Ann Arbor for another year!
Went to the Dogwood Pet Hotel this morning. It's clearly more of a dog hotel than a cat hotel.The Cat room has the below modues in it. (I got these photos from the net. This isn't the actual place) I don't like the idea of putting the cats in these cages, but there is one cool thing. I can get three across the top and they can adjust them so all three cats could go back and forth between all three modules. Could be worse. I have a feeling this will be harder on me than the cats.

Yeah, TCB I know, on the other hand, the cats were pretty freaked out with the last cat sitter, Callie does hide at medicine time and then hisses at other people and if there's a snow storm, they may be trapped in the house with no one able to get here. Against that backdrop, they are safer in the pet hotel where they can be together.
I think the big thing is when Katie told me "I had no idea it would be this hard to take care of the cats" I had to think about how hard it would be for someone who doesn't live here and doesn't know Callie's hiding places. My cats really aren't that easy to take care of if you aren't as familiar with them as Sharon was. I have to consider that.

I can now sleep better knowing that, Ginny!
DR TCB, we have early voting in Ohio, but we have to go to a Board of Elections office. I did that 4 years ago because of my work schedule, but this year I will go to the new school that was built to replace the elementary school that Rob attended. Our polling place has moved around a lot lately and I'm glad for us to be back where we belong.
I considered putting a voice mail saying that I had already mailed my ballot, so please leave me alone.

So, that has to be on Tuesday only?

In Iowa, early voting started September 28. If you had a petition with I don't know how many names you could be a designated polling place for early voting. It's really just absentee voting. I went to the courthouse. You first fill out the request for an absentee ballot, then you take the ballot to a voting station and fill it out, then you put it in the privacy envelope and give it back. You can also request an absentee ballott and fill it out at home then turn it in or mail it in.
Hi everyone. Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday. Tonight is my first night at Max' Restaurant in Palo Alto. I'll be paying and singing some tunes from 6-10. The playing part is easy, the singing of said tunes I've had to spend time on. So, I have some Carpenters, Neil Sedaka, and some things like that, mostly 70's and I think I'm in good shape for the evening. I'll check in after and give a report!

TOD, the sequel:
Ruth Gordon -- ROSEMARY'S BABY, WHERE'S POPPA?, and WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO AUNT ALICE? -- which I don't recall seeing, but I intend to like her in it when I finally do. Never warmed up to HAROLD AND MAUDE (only saw bits and pieces on TV back in the day) but might actually give it a try sometime.
John Cassavetes -- ROSEMARY'S BABY, TWO MINUTE WARNING (I think), HUSBANDS. Probably more I'm forgetting.
And for a bonus response: Sidney Blackmer -- ROSEMARY'S BABY and the PREMATURE BURIAL episode of THRILLER. I feel I've seen him a few other times, am totally blank on what those things are, but wanted to give him a shout-out.
And don't sweat the internet. Power and heat are EVERYTHING.

DR Ginny, what is going on with that ass Jon Husted and his voting conditions?
From DR ChasSmith:QuoteAnd don't sweat the internet. Power and heat are EVERYTHING.
Water is nice too. Those with well water lose their water source when they lose power.
To me heat is the most important thing to have as long as I can purchase water.
I was so happy I nearly cried
I like my new Kindle Fire HD tablet, on which I'm typing this :)
my NEXT house will have a gas stove and a fireplace!!!!
Jane thanks for conveying my messages!! Please PM me the address and I will try and get a postcard out
DR vixmom, the gas stove and fireplace (especially the fireplace) are certainly essential and go a long way toward keeping one not only alive but sane.
Up to a point.
With temperatures taking this dip from where we started at the storm, the lack of real heat for any appreciable length of time is something I truly do not know how people deal with. On Thursday night I had just arranged to jump ship and stay with a friend in a neighboring town, and was contemplating that being my last night trying to get some sleep huddled in a comforter in front of the fireplace, when the power here was mercifully restored.
Fell asleep last night around 10 and did not wake up until 7 Am
NICE!

Cat Freddy has asked me to go and buy him some cat food and kitty litter, so I'd best do that now.

Perhaps I should wait until tomorrow when it is free-for-all day, but I am curious as to what style of voting do people have in their areas. Washington, I believe, has 100% mail in ballots, there are the old-fashioned polling places open for one day only, and more and more I hear about early voting available at polling places. I was just curious.

Chas, I think you might enjoy HAROLD AND MAUDE if you gave it a chance. It is one of those films that you have to just sit back and go with the flow.

Yep, I lose water, but when one of these storms is coming I fill the bathtub which holds a LOT.
Heat = The Number One Thing. Period.
Are any of our LA folks familiar with the name Peter Ellenshaw? He was an artist in the film industry and did a lot of work for Disney. We were in a gallery last night where I was admiring my friend Pam's paintings and chatting with her and Richard was transfixed with a signed & numbered print of Ellenshaw's "Evensong." I could just tell that he really wanted it, so I asked if he wanted it for his Christmas present. Without hesitation he said YES, so I wrote a check to the gallery owner and it's now hanging in our living room:

A good wood burning stove in the fireplace that pushes heat into the room is much better than a regular fireplace.
Night time is the worst time without heat, at least for me.

I would think you qualify for a mail in ballot.

Thanks, DR Jane! When we were leaving the art center, an acquaintance asked to see what we'd bought. She compared it to the work of Thomas Kincade, but I don't think it's as goopy as his.
I've decided I'm going to try and make my hair appointments on Saturday. My shoulder almost always feels better after I swim, until I wash, dry & flat iron it. Then I have trouble moving it again. This evening my shoulder is feeling pretty good from the swim & my hair looks much better than when I do it.

I should have read your entire post before responding. That isn't too bad if they can open all three across.
Good morning, all.
Welcome back, Ben and Vixmom. We're glad you're all powered up again.
