Well, you've read the notes, the notes headed into previews, and now it is time for you to post until the previewing cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: MAUGRE!
-
Spoo! Yesterday isn't locked! It's still open and postable...as of this posting. :)
-
And now, to bed.

-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Hello, everyone! I shall be scarce around these parts for the next week, as I pack, load, and drive to Minnesota. Where I will have lots of ketchuping to do.
-
Good morning to all

FROM YESTERDAY:
DR GINNY mentioned yesterday that there was a whole page of substation at the Motown musical. Even though there are no "stars" I still think that's pretty awful. When I used to go to Broadway on a regular basis before I moved to Florida with all the shows I saw I rarely saw any substations and if there were any they were usually in minor roles. A "star" was never out. Today's work ethic on Broadway stinks and I also believe that today's singers do not probably know how to use their voices properly. Sure they can hit all the "money" notes to make the audience go crazy and hoot and holler (Hate this with a passion) but to do this 8 times a week and twice on matinee days they blow out their voices.
As for Motown the directors and producers choice their opening night cast with care and to have to see a page full of second choices is a shame.
-
FROM YESTERDAY
TCB mentioned all the CLASSIC CHRISTMAS ALBUMS. I believe the reason why they are considered "CLASSIC" which in my opinion do not follow the Webster's dictionary definition is that the singers have recorded more than one Christmas album and the "CLASSIC" is usually the first one they recorded.
I prefer the Classic Streisand because it has her 60's sound before she started producing. He sound was more pure without the overdone studio sound.
-
NOW FOR SOME GOOD NEWS.
A Facebook friend share this and I would like to share this here as well,
On this link you will here six songs with Karen Carpenter singing with only a bass and drum. Basically singing acapella. What a beautiful voice she had that even with all the overdubs used in the final releases couldn't obscure.

Almost got the link naming right
-
And today I came going to my first NASCAR race. Looking forward to it
-
Good morning, all.
Enjoying a quiet Sunday morning before more garage cleaning and other tasks resume.
-
The OLIVER! Blu-ray is stunning, in my opinion. I will be very surprised if BK finds anything lacking.
-
Last night, in a Sherman Brothers mood, I watched THE BOYS. I'd seen it once before, but really paid it close attention this time. The history is rich, and it's got some wrenching moments, to be sure.
-
Good morning!
-
Happy Sunday morning!
-
Good morning, all.
Headed home with only one possible barbecue stop along the way.
-
Has anybody heard or read anything about this new Russian film version of Faust that supposedly opened over the weekend?
-
Must go and catch up!
-
Not me DR JOHN G.
-
i enjoyed reading all of the anecdotes yesterday.....
-
Rehearsal vibes for MR BK & Co.
-
Conditions are right for a tornado strike in Indiana this afternoon, so we shall wait and see.
I hope it is not a Sharknado.
-
Good morning, all! I slept really badly last night; I don't know if it was the rush of adrenaline from laughing so much at the MIRNDA DVD or soe inner turmoil I haven't deciphered, but it was a looooong night of tossing, waking, fretting about sleep, ora combination, but the alarm rang at 8, and I decided to sleep in. At 9:30, i decided that wasn't going to happen and I am up, partially dressed, on my first cup of coffee, and fretting that I am almost out of milk.
DR TCB, yes, i was up past my bedtime. I turned off the lights around 12:15, which is two hours later than usual. I was reading BITCH IN A BONNET, and amusing myself to no end.
Today, no plans. I will watch some DVDs, putter about the apartment, and hope that my physical therapy referral is in tomorrow morning so that I can go there.
-
First!
First back, that is!
Wow.
-
That was a long seven hours.
Long time to go without a fix! :)
-
Hello, everyone.
I was able to log in, but I'm not sure everything is up and running yet. We shall see.
-
I see DR Chas is posting. Hi, Chas.
-
I have MUCH ketching up to do. Much.
-
We are back! :)
-
Sometimes these things can take a while to get all the way back up. But we're doing good so far.
-
First, let me wish SINGDAW
MEGA VIBES for MOVING: packing, loading, driving, and all and sundried.
-
I have no news, but will try to ketch up today, then return.
-
Posting is a bit slow, but it's posting.

TTFN.

I've been watching for news from you and hope you weren't hit hard.
-
Finally!

Are we on page ten yet?

-
No tornado damage VIBES for DR Jrand63!
-
Posting is a bit slow, but it's posting.
The quote was faster this time so maybe it will post faster.
-
A wee bit, not so long this time that I feared it wouldn't happen.
-
No tornado damage VIBES for DR Jrand63!
And for DR Ginny and DH Richard!
-
From DR TCB:
That's because of all those Communist actors going in and out of Ashland.
LOL I have no idea what you are talking about. Do you DR MBarnum?
-
From DR Laura:
Good evening. The renters across the street had quite a party last night that went on until about 5:30 a.m.
Did you party this morning and wake them up?
-
Why are yesterday's posts appearing above today's posts n my screen?
-
Yesterday's posts seem to still be open and we can post there. What the fat hell is going on?
-
We can still post on yesterday, weird.
-
Yesterday's posts aren't locked, but other strange things are happening, too.
-
TORNADO-PROTECTION VIBES to JRand, GINNY, CILLA, and all others in the Midwest.
-
And it was faster than I'm posting today.
-
What happened, BK?
Was the server down for several hours today?
-
From DR Jennifer:
I have the opposite problem. I cannot keep up with my To Be Read list.
LOL I can't either, however, there wasn't anything available from my library and I had already purchased this at a good price. There is an excellent chance the next book I read will be purchased at full eBook price.
-
Sunday evening greetings from the basement of our home! We've been home for several hours and the tornado sirens just went off. Glad to have HHW back while we wait for the all clear.
-
Apparently there was a power outage downtown and the backup generators did not kick in
-
Well, it's locked now!
I'm having a Tom Ellis film festival. And back to THE FADES!
-
And, we're clear! Back upstairs, no storm to speak of.
-

All the storms, DR Ginny can post safely from her basement and it is LA that loses power ;D
-
From DR Vixmom:
met with the medicaid guy with my folks today -- has anyone ever heard of WellCare? It sounds good on paper but....
I haven't heard of it but do want to clarify......first you said Medicare and now medicaid. Which are you looking for?
-
sorry I meant Medicare my folks are fortunate enough not to qualify for medicaid at this time
-
speaking of fortunate I was blown away by what I saw at the altar today -

DR Vixmom - WOW!
-
Excellent news Ginny.
-
sorry I meant Medicare my folks are fortunate enough not to qualify for medicaid at this time
I'm pleased to see this.
We decided to go with Regence Blue Cross of Oregon PPO. During my search a number of people told me they are very happy with the AARP plan.
-
DR Vixmom - WOW!
DITTO!
-
Keith told me I had an email from the library that a book was available which seemed odd since I'm not expecting any books. He just received his first notice from the library, perfect timing too as yesterday he finished reading a book.
-
TORNADO-PROTECTION VIBES to JRand, GINNY, CILLA, and all others in the Midwest.
Thanks Jeanne, but it's all to the east of us. We had a lovely day here, it sort of felt like spring
-
I'm getting irritated about this tv commercial stuff. It was supposed to start running on Friday. He sent me the vignette and the web ad, I sent corrections and never heard back. I checked my email and even went back to the office to make sure I didn't miss anything Now he's trying to tell me he sent me all of it on Friday and they are delaying showing anything until Tuesday because they didn't have my ok. Since the show the vignettes are for is on Thursday, I'm not at all pleased as that is the package I really wanted. I haven't signed an agreement for advertising after this promotion and I'm not paying for a week of advertising and getting 2 days. Luckily I haven't signed a contract for anything after this. So, I may be looking to another tv station to do my advertising if this isn't resolved to my liking and soon
-
Sorry Cilla, COMMERCIAL VIBES!!!
-
I couldn't connect for awhile.
I'm going to read for awhile now.
-
I haven't been able to log on for about an hour tonight. What's with the webmaster and HHW?
-
I've had trouble too, but I guess we're back up now.
-
After some cold days, it's in the 60's today and the temperature is even going up overnight!
-
I hope all our HHW folks are safe from the terrible storms.
-
I love that my post is dated at 11:46 a.m. It is 6:57 p.m. Arizona time.
-
Let me try again! I hope everyone here is spared tornadoes!
-
And here we are again!
-
had a hard time getting on this evening
-
Hello? Is this thing on?
-
And here we are again!
And again!!!

I mean my actual TBR list of what I already own as e-books/books i already own/books my library already has.

Lucky you!

I could not log on earlier.
-
I am waiting for The Mentalist to start. Going to watch it tonight since it's getting so exciting.
-
But I am also on the last 1/3 of my book and want to keep reading.

Sorry DR Cillaliz. So had the guy actually sent the emails he is claiming?

I used to have stacks of books to read. I try not to download too many at once when I'm paying for them. I do have a few waiting to be read that were free but usually find something I'm more interested in.
-
It was actually quite warm here today too.

I get mine when they are on sale on amazon. So I have quite a lot of e-books that are regularly $10 that were only $1.99 that I really want to read.
-
Plus my copy of Homeland 2 is finally ready to be picked up. So i will be watching a lot of that this week.
-
Well yesterday after several years of searching (and downloading and buying and trading) two songs from a collector in Australia have completed my collection (with one exception) of every song ever nominated for an Academy Award sung by the original artists. The majority are from the soundtracks and some are studio recordings by the original artists.
The one song I do not have is The Cat and The Canary from a "lost" film called Why Girls Leave Home. I was told that the only surviving copy is in The Library of Congress. I do have recordings sung by the composer, Ray Evans. and one by Johnny Mercer from a radio broadcast.
I will miss the adventure of tracking down these songs. It was fun
-
Then on Saturday I am going to watch my niece at her 2nd swim meet. She will be swimming 4 races. The week after she will have her first out of town swim meet 1 hour away.

I should remember to check B&N more often for books deals.

'night
-
Yes, it was down again - I assume this all has to do with whatever the outage was this morning, but there is no way that it's acceptable for backup generators not to do their job until they fix their crap. I left them the kind of BK message no one likes to get, and we're back so maybe it did some damn good.
-
Had a productive rehearsal and semi-tech.
-
At least one individual in our midst does not need to hear about backup generators not coming on and doing their job. 8)
-
Well, my salesman went to his office and I think he realizes that he didn't send the emails he claimed. He's going to make it right and the price has already cut in at least half. I'm feeling much better about it
-
I think the confusion came because he did send part of them to me, but not the revised version, so I couldn't give my ok.
-
Page four? Really: :)

test post
-
I just lost a long post and now I have to contact them again because it's doing the same damn thing it did last time this happened - giving an error message.
-
Message sent - hopefully they'll fix this stupid problem soon.

That's wonderful, Vixmom!

And, we're clear! Back upstairs, no storm to speak of.
Congrats, Ginny!

BK, when posting the message to Ginny, I just got the message, "The last posting from your IP was less than 5 seconds ago. Please try again later." The problem is that I hadn't posted anything for 15 minutes. :-\
And the time stamp is again wonky for that post.

Today, I went with my co-worker Jamie to see "The Weir" at Tacoma Little Theatre. It was my second and Jamie's first time to see the show. I enjoyed it as much as the first time and Jamie really enjoyed it, too.
-
Tacoma Little Theatre is where our very own TCB will be performing in "It's a Wonderful Life," which opens at the end of this month.
-
I definitely plan to see that! I wouldn't miss it for the world!
-
Well, since we're so close...
-
PAGE FIVE DANCE!!
-
We will get the damn error message until they remember how they fixed it last time - I also told them to check the time stamp. It's seven hours off on the thing I post the notes from - I had to manually change the date to today, so they have to fix that. I'm quite sure I'll get a month or two of free service, but they have to find a data center that actually works, like what they had when I came there.
-
At least we got to page 5. :)
-
Not bad, and thanks to everyone for keeping the home fries burning.
