Good morning, all!  I slept in and now I'm on my first cup of coffee.  The dread IRS check did hit the bank last night, so all i can do is wait for the mailed check to arrive - hopefully today - so I can cover this mess.

The conductor received parts one and three of the choral arrangement and he's very happy with it. He's asked me to do something for the Cincinnati Chorus and Pamela Myers for next heat's March concert. 

DR George, everything arrived in great condition! Thank you so much for your help.

BK, the class sounds great and I'm happy that it bodes well for LI'L ABNER.

More coffee!

It is our last rehearsal until we open on Sunday at 1 p.m.

I very much enjoyed DR SINGDAW's post of the One Direction w/o autotune parody.....probably closer to reality than some think.....although I think they were winners of the X FACTOR in Britain...so maybe they can sing.
Title: Re: WORKING THE WORKSHOP
Post by: Jrand74 on January 22, 2014, 06:52:10 AM
Our roads are pretty clear today, so hopefully I won't have any trouble. 

I also like working with MOST of the kids....the ones who are dedicated are really good....and then there are THE OTHERS.  I think some of them thought that this would just be the easiest Winter Term project....at least two other groups did some traveling....one group to NYC and one group to Italy....so maybe these are the kids who didn't have the $$$$ to do those projects.

This from Shar0n Farre11 on Facebook:

I've only got four little teeny tiny degrees here, with a wind chill of -12.

The neighbor has plowed, but I must still go out there and use the snowblower to clean up the edges and do a couple of sections the plow can't do.  Not looking forward to that, no sir.

A question for the group:

The symphony here is in the midst of a Dvorak festival. I haven't been able to make anything yet, but next weekend they are doing a semi-staged version of Rusalka with the opera company. Tickets start at $25.

But Kristin Chenoweth, whom I have never seen live, is coming to town two weeks later. Tickets for that start at $50.

I can only go to one. Which would you choose?

I have a friend who talks to her daughter in Sweden and showed it to me when Keith got his Samsung Galaxy Note 3.  He opted not to get it.  It seemed fairly easy.  I don't have a smartphone or I would download the app to talk to you.   I think anyone with a smartphone can get the app to talk to you.

It certainly didn't take long for American television to remake that French TV series about the people returning from the dead.  RESURRECTION STARTS on ABC in a couple of weeks.  The theme song, "I'm Coming Home."

My rash wasn't clearing up so I phoned the doctor's office yesterday on the off-chance my doc would have an opening today. Surprise! She did and I grabbed it. She knew what it was instantly, which I didn't expect, but it was exactly what I didn't want to hear: shingles. My rash doesn't look like any of the rashes I viewed on the Internet; in fact, it has multiple personalities--a cluster of small bumps in the front and big, hive-like things on my back.

Thankfully, it is not a severe case. They're uncomfortable, but do not itch. She wants me to keep them bandaged, REST, and I'm not supposed to be out in public if I can help it. I have several things to take, as well. I stopped on the way home and purchased the necessary gauze, tape, and other supplies.

I'd rescheduled a hair appointment in order to see the doctor today. I called my hairdresser and asked if he'd had chickenpox. Fortunately, he had them when he was a kid. If he hadn't, I would have been putting him at risk and I didn't want to do that. So I'll see him tomorrow and make a quick stop for groceries afterwards.

This was one of those crazy-driver days. Some people feel that every day is crazy-driver day, but in my stomping ground some days are worse than others. After seeing one incident after another, plus one totally out-of-it pedestrian, this was the finale: I was walking out of the drug store toward my car when I saw a new Mercedes back into a new Lexus SUV, which was parked. CRUNCH! And the Mercedes driver was starting to drive away! I couldn't believe it! I pointed to the Lexus, saying, "You just hit that car!" The Mercedes didn't stop. I continued pointing and saying, "You just hit that car!" The Mercedes stopped, and a man in his sixties, with a long, grey ponytail calmly got out and asked, "Did I hit something?" "Yes!" I said, "You just backed into that car!" A woman then got out of the SUV and looked at the damage. I was surprised there was so little--it was really just a scratch, but a loooonnng one. I left them to work it out among themselves, but I have a hunch it's that the woman's car, that she's a housekeeper or nanny entrusted with the family car. In any case, it's up to them.

Good morning, all.

Already a crazy day. My car tried to eat my employee badge.

I would like to hear this story please

I got to work early today (go figure) and was gathering all my stuff up to get out of the car. As I closed the door, I heard this clatter and thought I had gotten the seat belt caught in the door, but that wasn't it. So I walked the 10 minutes to the door and when I got there, I realized I didn't have my badge on my, so I retraced my steps, which wasn't easy, because everybody was walking in the opposite direction. I finally got back to my car and couldn't find the badge. I looked under my car, under the neighboring car, under the seat, all over the front of the car. Somehow, the cord it was attached to must have gotten entangled in the seat belt and sent the badge flying. It was in the back seat and not really in an accessible spot. By the time I found it, I was late for work.

:o We have required badges, but they're only for identification...even though everyone pretty much knows everyone.  If we lose them, they're free to replace.  Most people have their keyless entry key card attached to their picture badge, but I don't.  I have my key card in my wallet and only use it when I enter the building through the side door (which is actually most of the time).  I keep my picture badge here at work because I don't want to take it with me when I leave the building.  I don't need my work identification when I'm not working. :)

I don't suppose there is any chance of a copy showing up in my neck o' the woods...... :)

This was one of those crazy-driver days. Some people feel that every day is crazy-driver day, but in my stomping ground some days are worse than others. After seeing one incident after another, plus one totally out-of-it pedestrian, this was the finale: I was walking out of the drug store toward my car when I saw a new Mercedes back into a new Lexus SUV, which was parked. CRUNCH! And the Mercedes driver was starting to drive away! I couldn't believe it! I pointed to the Lexus, saying, "You just hit that car!" The Mercedes didn't stop. I continued pointing and saying, "You just hit that car!" The Mercedes stopped, and a man in his sixties, with a long, grey ponytail calmly got out and asked, "Did I hit something?" "Yes!" I said, "You just backed into that car!" A woman then got out of the SUV and looked at the damage. I was surprised there was so little--it was really just a scratch, but a loooonnng one. I left them to work it out among themselves, but I have a hunch it's that the woman's car, that she's a housekeeper or nanny entrusted with the family car. In any case, it's up to them.

At least the guy stopped.  Just yesterday, my friend Margo called me and said that she was hit yesterday late in the afternoon at an intersection and the guy who hit her car just took off!  It was getting dark, so she couldn't really get a description or a license plate.  No one around her stopped to help, either.  She did call the police but they didn't even want to write up a report because of no witnesses. :P

Vibes to George's friend Margo.

I was told that now I have had one episode I will probably have it happen again but that if I relax  it will dissapate  in 30 - 60 minutes -  my episode lasted longer because I was so stressed out and that added to it

Did they tell you how to tell the difference?

if the  symptoms go away  then its just the ocular migraine  if it is a detached retina they will not

He dialated my eyes and it was the best of all possible outcomes: the ocular migraine, which mimics the retinal detachment , but is not serious and goes away  by itself

So pleased you had the best outcome, but sorry you had to go through this. At least you had help from the Vixter and your co-workers.

everyone was amazingly supportive  they really are a great bunch

Jeanne your guy was either oblivious in which case he needs a smaller car that he can maneuver or he was pretending he didn't notice and hoped  no one else did either

I couldn't see if he was on the phone or not, but it wasn't a large car. Could he actually not have noticed? In some cars I think that's possible, but I'm not sure why he backed up at all, since he was facing the right way. He wasn't even legally parked, which may be a clue.

Thankfully, it is not a severe case. They're uncomfortable, but do not itch. She wants me to keep them bandaged, REST, and I'm not supposed to be out in public if I can help it. I have several things to take, as well. I stopped on the way home and purchased the necessary gauze, tape, and other supplies.


Jeanne, I am so sorry to read that it is shingles.  I have had several good friends who have had very severe cases.  My late friend, Stan, had it down one side of his face.  He was almost blinded in one eye.

Yes, it can be very serious. My doctor's recommendations are very comprehensive and I will comply as best I can with all of them. She said that some docs just prescribe a drug and that's it. We're doing much more. More work for me, but I'm happy to take this approach.

As I was leaving work today, I started to pull out into traffic when a car sped into my lane. I stopped, but the car behind me didn't. He or she ran into the back of my car. Thankfully, it was light and there was no damage. But the car just sped off as if nothing happened. Excuse me, but I work for a car insurance company. What kind of driving is that?

Is this crazy-driver day nationwide? Jrand, any input?

John, I'm glad there was no damage and you weren't hurt. Maybe a massage would be in order just the same.

I'd rescheduled a hair appointment in order to see the doctor today. I called my hairdresser and asked if he'd had chickenpox. Fortunately, he had them when he was a kid. If he hadn't, I would have been putting him at risk and I didn't want to do that. So I'll see him tomorrow and make a quick stop for groceries afterwards.

But the people who have had chicken pox are the ones that get shingles, unless they have the vaccine.

If you haven't had chickenpox and are exposed to shingles, you get chickenpox. That's how I got mine a few years ago. I was staying at a friend's house when I first returned to LA. Said friend got shingles and I soon had chickenpox. I was reading just recently that vaccines are only 40% effective.
