Well, you've read the notes, the notes were tranquil, and now it is time for you to post until the tranquil cows come home.

And the word of the day is: VOTARY!

For the first time in a while, I get to sleep in today. I'll need to do a little laundry and then I'm ushering tonight for the Masterworks Choral Ensemble and their show, Sing Sinatra: Music of Ol’ Blue Eyes (http://wcpa.squarespace.com/upcoming-events/2014/6/14/sing-sinatra-music-of-ol-blue-eyes.html). But I also want to go to work (after the aforementioned laundry has been completed) and make up a few hours...THEN I'll go and usher for the Sinatra choral show.
Have a good day, all!

good morning to all

poem
There is a game
The hardest one
No one knows how to play
You don't roll doubles
or get 200 for passing go.
The game is called peace
the poem was written about 42 years ago and is still relevant
-
Ryacko - Thank you for sharing those stories and photos.
-
get better vibes to vixmom

Ryacko
great photos of fiddler.
now dish the dirt!

I'm not a big fan of Leone's DOLLAR trilogy either. They're okay, but none make my list of favorite Westerns.
However, I love Leone's ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA. It's a one of my all-time favorites...even though I'm not sure about the ending.
BTW: I've caught some of the soon-to-be restored scenes on YouTube, including the one with Louise Fletcher. They are unnecessary and were cut for good reason.
You don't have to put deleted scenes back into a movie just because they exist. They did that with 1900.
The 3 hour version is terrific, but the restored 4 hour edition, which (I believe) is the only version available on DVD, is a bore.

Saturday morning greetings! Day 2 of the AAUW garage sale is under way and, although not scheduled, I'll go over around noon to help with the beginning of the half-price sale.
-
DR Vixmom, I hope you're feeling better this morning - optical migraines are NO fun!
-
Feel-better vibes to vixmom!!

I'm trying to decide whether to stay home today or go out somewhere.

Good luck to DR Vixmom re: her tire.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am going to watch my niece at an outdoor swim meet today. It's the first one they've had outside. It was supposed to rain but now it seems like the rain may hold off. I guess i should bring an umbrella and jacket just in case.
-
Good news from DR RLP yesterday.....
DR CILLA LIZ - enjoy your vacation!
Feel better vibes for DR VIXMOM.

Half price sale!!! Have fun DR GINNY! Lovely photos from yesterday!
Nice photos from DR RYACKO......hmmmmm if that tour came through Indianapolis, I saw it.....

Remember
By Christina Rossetti
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Will there really be a 'Morning'?
by Emily Dickinson
Will there really be a "Morning"?
Is there such a thing as "Day"?
Could I see it from the mountains
If I were as tall as they?
Has it feet like Water lilies?
Has it feathers like a Bird?
Is it brought from famous countries
Of which I have never heard?
Oh some Scholar! Oh some Sailor!
Oh some Wise Man from the skies!
Please to tell a little Pilgrim
Where the place called "Morning" lies!
-
A late good morning, all.
Been lazing around in the recliner, waiting for the coffee to do its job and for the sun to burn off the overcast.
The latter means that I must get moving on some mowing and other yard-type work that's so long overdue it isn't even funny, thanks to the rain this past week and beyond.
-
Good morning, all! I stayed in bed all morning, and I plan to spend the day doing absolutely nothing more than necessary, I d have to pay estimated taxes and a couple of bills, and that's my day. Beyond that I have no plans.
DR vixmom, between your health and your car, you need an AAA physician. I do hope you are feeling better.
DR cillaliz, i would love to go to this talk on haunted places with you.
-
I suppose I'm up after about five hours of sleep.
-
Good morning, all.
Did the sleep study last night, which means little sleep. And from the preliminary results, I have to relearn sleeping again. But I may be able to get rid of the mask and use the nasal pillows now, which is a step up.
After that, I came home and slept.
-
Great Fiddler stories and photos, DR Ryacko. Thanks for sharing.

The start of a favorite, from Noel Coward:
I can remember, I can remember
The months of November and December
Were filled for me with peculiar joys
So different from those of other boys.
For other boys would be counting the days
Until end of term and holiday time;
But I was acting in Christmas plays
While they were taken to pantomimes.
I didn't envy their new suits,
Their children's dances and Christmas trees;
My life had wonderful substitutes
For such conventional treats as these.
I didn't envy their country larks,
Their organized games in panelled halls,
While they made snowmen in stately parks,
I was counting the curtain calls.
-
TOD:
I think of lyrics as poetry, so the words and works of Cole Porter, Dorothy Fields, Sondheim, Mercer, Loesser, et al. could be here, too.
-
Good morning all you wonderful people! I am thrilled to tell you that the latest edition of The Broadway Radio Show is up on this here website for your enjoyment. This time it's an interesting and entertaining interview with Andrea Marcovicci.....we chat about her days in soap opera, Broadway musicals, TV and Movies ....and of course we spend a lot of time discussing her amazing cabaret career. She was a delight to talk with!

DR ryacko I enjoyed your stories and photos from yesterday.

From DR Cilla:
On July 11 if you go into a Chik Fil A totally dressed as a cow you get a free meal. If you go only partially dressed as a cow you get a free entrée. Who would do that?
LOL It might be fun to drive by and see.

I do hope DR Vixmom is feeling well and made it safely, and easily, to the tire place.

Do you think that's how Noel Coward really had felt, that it was his real point of view, or was he (perhaps) rationalizing what he didn't have?

I just love Steve Marzullo's setting of this poem, sung by Rebecca Luker on one of her albums.
Here's a link to a performance:

The sound and balance are awful, and the cello part is missing, but it's still very effective.

He performed in Christmas pantomimes as a schoolboy, it's my memory he met Gertrude Lawrence in one of them, maybe PETER PAN; I'm sure it's pretty accurate

The drum circle has concluded, and the light rail trains are running!
It is also grey, raining, and with winds approaching 60mph! Needless to say, the drumming was moved inside. :P

The poem has the patina of nostalgia about it, but there's also a sense of alone-ness, more than loneliness, that gives the poem a sad tone. He's really in a world by himself and maybe his mother, even as he's surrounded by so many other people.
Here's the whole of "The Boy Actor":

I also really like Yeats. Here's the intro of Sailing to Byzantium with its intro line that inspired the title of Cormac McCarthy's novel:
That is no country for old men. The young
In one another's arms, birds in the trees
---Those dying generations---at their song,
The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas,
Fish, flesh, or fowl commend all summer long
Whatever is begotten, born, and dies.
Caught in that sensual music all neglect
Monuments of unaging intellect.

Larry, given who's directing Paint Your Wagon and Zorba, and that the person likes your work a lot, does that help to mean a solvent time for you?

Patrick Healy in the Times is reporting After Midnight set to close after Patti LaBelle's engagement in it; and he reports sources saying the theatre will go to the (truly excellent) Honeymoon in Vegas.

I just came back from an outdoor swim meet. The summer season does not start until june 25th. But the winter swim team had an outdoor meet. But half the kids were scratched (paid but did not show up).
It was supposed to rain but didn't. It was actually pretty nice out, just windy.
The kids had fun though. My niece's group of 4 kids swam 3 relays in a row. They had so much fun though. They swam a fun relay at the end dressing a coach in hula gear which the kids kept at the end.
-

No, since both shows are pretty much set and the orchestra parts, scores, and hopefully full scores exist. I might get asked to come in and proofread if Rob Berman or Joshie needs help. I personally think I should have been asked to orchestrate LADY BE GOOD because I know more about musicals of 1900-1924 and their orchestrations than anyone alive, but I doubt I will be.

I don't think that would work with these friends. So, I'm drying bread before frying them into croutons. And I have to coddle an egg for the dressing.
-
Oh, I knew that you wouldn't be so gauche as to use a bottled dressing, DR John G.!!!! :)
-
Oh, I knew that you wouldn't be so gauche as to use a bottled dressing, DR John G.!!!! :)
I likely would for myself. Except they expect the tableside show. Oy.
-
Can you put some crispy chicken in the salad? (That would allow you to spend some of the tableside show on making the chicken.)
-
I had Schnipper's caesar salad with chicken three times on my diet last week. So far, i've lost seven days.
(Just kidding. The salad probably had more calories than anything else I'd have had for lunch.)
-

Especially bad bottled dressing ;D

I have never coddled an egg.

I never saw a purple cow
I never hope to see one
But I can tell you anyhow
I'd rather see than be one
Guess I still have cows on my mind

We're supposed to have bad storms and it feels like it. Just the usual 70 mph wind with possible tennis ball sized hail and 3-4 inches of rain total and maybe a tornado. Now, I don't know if this will happen, but I decided not to leave my plants in pots out in whatever happens, so I moved them all into the garage and watered them well. At least I know they won't get trampled by hail
-
Ok, now this is disgusting. Just read that a little girl had to use the bathroom on a Jet Blue plain while it was delayed on the tarmac. They wouldn't let her get up and she ended up wetting the seat and herself and they still wouldn't let he mom get up and take care of her.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
DR John are you using the original lime recipe or going with lemon?
-
I slept well last night, but it was a hectic week and I am worn out. Nothing like big decisions--should I do this, should i do that--to disrupt one's sleep and wear you down. I took care of some things around the apartment today and now want to just be a couch potato.

Adults have the same problem. This is crazy. I'm guessing this rule comes from higher up than Jet Blue. If the girl had gone to the bathroom the plane would likely have returned to the gate and the family kicked off. ::)

I was on a plane stuck on the tarmac for three hours once. No bathroom, no water, no AC (IIRC). I don't think we were even given a reason for it. It doesn't seem like it should be legal. Apparently, no contingency plan in place, either. Surely something could be done, even if it was just peeing in a bucket in privacy.

They said in the article that it was all about the FAA rules about not getting up when the plane is on the tarmac

No, I did some of that yesterday. Today is catch-up.

I still remember making a mad dash to the bathroom while the plane landed. I thought I would get in trouble but my father told me to run so I did. Common sense ruled in those days.

Right, from "higher up" whoever that is. It seems urinating on the seat is also a health risk.
-
Perhaps the FAA doesn't expect planes to be on the tarmac very long. But sometimes they are.
-
They could have put something under her if they weren't going to let her up.

Of course it is. God forbid there be a medical emergency. I'd like to think that the unfavorable, ie disgusting, publicity from this will prompt a change.

I will likely use lime. I will add anchovies, which is not original, but I like them.

That's what I was thinking. And what kind of cleanup did they do before the next passenger sat there
-
Tornado watch just issued, been waiting for that....
-
Be safe!!!
-
I found this article from 2011 which states:
Adequate toilet facilities must be maintained and made available to passengers during the delay.
http://www.ibtimes.com/tarmac-delays-knowing-your-rights-passenger-382706
I will see if I can find something more current.
-
I didn't find anything more current, I did however find the story DR Cilla mentioned.
Apparently Jet Blue stated "We understand your concern. However, there are very strict FAA regulations when a plane is on the tarmac." Of course a link to that regulation wasn't included.
-
JetBlue and ANY airline that denies a passenger a bathroom because the stupid airport is backed up, should be held accountable. This is why I simply have no interest in traveling anymore and if it was me, I would have gotten up and used the bathroom and if that meant they returned to the gate and booted me off the flight, so be it. How DARE them.
-
Page two? Really?
-
Page three? Really?
-
Page four? Really?
-
Page four isn't bad, is it?
-
We had a tornado watch the other day that preceded a nice thunderstorm with a good amount of needed rainfall and no tornadoes at all. Hope yours are likewise, Cillaliz.
-
Off to a pizza party. I wish I were a little more awake, but those sleep studies are really draining. I've had three naps today and still could use another.
-
DR John G I'm curious how the sleep study has been so draining. I've heard from people they were fine with them. Maybe they just say that to encourage me to go.
-
I admit, I am obsessed with the possibility of not being permitted to use the bathroom on a plane. I should say obsessed with knowing what my rights are. I think a good reporter might have called the FAA and asked if the Jet Blue statement was correct.
-
This morning we spent an hour at a neighbor's house playing with a puppy :)
-

If the girl had gone to the bathroom the plane would likely have returned to the gate and the family kicked off. ::)
After reading the full story I was correct, this almost happened according to the mother.
-
Still, would be worth finding out if this is an actual regulation - I mean, not the fact that the plane was on the tarmac, but in a HOLDING position on the tarmac, going nowhere. That's what's at issue here. As I said, I would have gone, and they could just damn well have gone back to the gate and escorted me off the plane. It's shameful.
-
Easy to say they can escort you off, however, if you have an important commitment where you are headed it could be an issue.
One is permitted to use the facilities prior to the plane departing, always a safe thing to do if you can't go just before boarding. I expect this little girl should have done that but I'm sure the mother never imagined what happened. I'm just careful because I know they won't let you up if there is turbulence, not that I want to get up anyway and get more air sick.

Breaking news: the AAUW Middletown garage sale made $3,123.00 - biggest total ever!
-
Good evening all
-
the occular migraine passed eventually without incident
-
I had this for the first time a few months again and it terrified me because I thought I had a detached retina and was going to go blind ( this happened to a member of our church)
The opthamolgist explained about the occular migraine and that now I have had one I will probably continue having them
It causes disruption in my vision and I have to stop reading or using the computer watching TV etc until it passes
-
this morning I got up early and got everything ready for the surprise party we were invited to this afternoon
-
the party was for the man who was the best man at our wedding and Vixdad was in charge of getting him out of his house while the party was put together and then back to his house for the party without alerting him
He performed admirably and the surprise went off without a hitch
-
My car tire, as expected was flatter than a pancake, but fortunately we all have air compressors inour cars, so I pumped up the tire as full as I could and the Vixter followed me to the tire place and we arrived just as they opened at 9 am
-
the hole was right in the tire wall and I had been told in January that the rear tires would need replacing soon so I bit the bullet and bought a pair of rear tires
-
$300 poorer I headed over to church with the Vixter for the assisting ministers and deacons meeting
-
If the plane is not moving for hours then the rules should change. That makes no sense. it's one thing if the plane is on the tarmac for a few minutes. but absolutely ridiculous to hold everyone hostage for hours.
-
left there at 11 and then back to BJs to buy $100 worth of supplies for coffee hour then back hoem to get dressed for the party and get over there
-
It was a busy morning but I got there by the appointed time : 1 PM
-
And why would they have to escort the little girl off the plane? So ridiculous. i think that i would feel more comfortable being escorted off of the plane vs peeing on my seat.
-
Vixdad'sbestman's wife's family is of Syrian descent and they always have interesting things to eat
they had stuffed grape leaves and some sort of raw highly seasoned lamb dish, and pickled vegetables lamb meatballs in some kind of tomato based gravy and something that looks liek mini eggrolls but with a lamb (sense a theme here?) filling
I kept thinking that JohnG and Jose would probably love this stuff
'
-
The party was fun and we were back home around 7

Breaking news: the AAUW Middletown garage sale made $3,123.00 - biggest total ever!
Wow! Congratulations!!!!

the occular migraine passed eventually without incident
Do you have pain and nausea with these?
-
And why would they have to escort the little girl off the plane? So ridiculous. i think that i would feel more comfortable being escorted off of the plane vs peeing on my seat.
Because her mother made a fuss. There have been some ridiculous reason for people being removed from flights.
I do believe most adults would get up from their seats unless they are wearing an adult diaper. Being three both the child and the mother were intimidated into staying put.

I get a headache sometimes first though i get what appears to be a bright flash of light as if a flash bulb went off in front of my eyes then a small, enlarging blind spot in my central vision with bright, flashing or flickering lights and wavy or zig-zag lines surrounding the blind spot then the blind spot enlarges and moves across my field of vision.
Since I started having these I am afraid I might get one while I am driving since they come on without warning
so far, Thank God, I have never had one while driving

Congratulations to Ginny's Yard Sale Crew!

I must admit watching this storm approach really scared me tonight. There were tales of high wind and tennis ball sized hail, which I think they did have in Nebraska. They had big hail not far from here. I sort of panicked and put the cats in their carriers down the basement and sat with them. They were not pleased but if we're going to have hail that could break out windows, I'm going to have the cats under control.
-
As soon as I realized we're not getting the hail and wind, just REALLY heavy rain and lightning and thunder, I let them back upstairs. We're supposed to get 3-4 inches of rain, we'll see.
-
Weather Vibes for Cilla
-
Thanks. I'll be fine. I just get scared. I've been in a tornado once and baseball sized hail once and I get a little freaked when we get warnings. It passes.
-
It's still storming and raining and the satellite is cutting in and out, but I feel better.
-
I can't blame you - I grew up here and hurricanes are an annual concern but no matter how bad they get they do not have the destructive power of a tornado I can;t imagine living in the "middle" for that reason alone
-
Well, they don't hit where you are very often and you can hide from them. Still, it's scary
-
And the word of the day is: VOTARY!
Wasn't that the big Jerry Vale hit?

tomorrow morning is the 13th annual 5K run to honor Fire Captain Downey lost 9/11 - he was the grandfather of one of the Vixter's schoolmates . Our post office and the street we live on were both renamed to honor him.
The money raised goes to various charities but it closes my street and the main surrounding streets from about 8:30 to 11 which is really inconvenient when you want to go to church or maybe go out to breakfast with your dad for father's day
I think it is a fine cause but I wish they would just go run around in the local state park
-
I It would also be nice if we didn't have to collect a trash bags full of water bottles, drink cups, signs and other debris off our front lawn after the crowds leave
-
yeah I I know I'm a cranky old lady
"You kids get off my lawn and go run around and make noise at your own house!!"
-
well I had better get to sleep I have to get up extra early to get to church or else I will be held hostage and I am scheduled to talk at all three services
-
There is no rest in the life of a vixmom.

Here they close off the same streets downtown for different runs. The problem is it's always the street in front of my office and the cross streets so I can't just go there. It was two weeks in a row and it really ticked me off
-
Boo has finally forgiven me and climbed up on my lap. I think it's then new nonstop thunder. It scares her
-
Finished with my viewing.

Easy to say they can escort you off, however, if you have an important commitment where you are headed it could be an issue.
One is permitted to use the facilities prior to the plane departing, always a safe thing to do if you can't go just before boarding. I expect this little girl should have done that but I'm sure the mother never imagined what happened. I'm just careful because I know they won't let you up if there is turbulence, not that I want to get up anyway and get more air sick.
There was turbulence on the tarmac? That should be the title of something.
-
Six!

I'm zonked.

Can someone give me instructions on inserting an image here?
-
Isn't it amusing when someone posts something specifically so it will show up on your news feed and you can read it? Well, people who do that, in the end, as my friend Richard M. Sherman (and his brother Robert B.) wrote: It's a Small World. Small. And funny. And fine. And that's all I have to say about that.
-
Inserting an image sounds dirty. Jeanne, click on "reply rather than the Quick Reply box. Once you do, a window will open and you'll see the choose image link - find it on your computer, click on it, and it will attach itself.
-
vixmom, so glad your visual migraine left. It sounds horrible. My osteopath used to get them, too.
-
Thanks, Bruce. I'll try it.

Vixdad'sbestman's wife's family is of Syrian descent and they always have interesting things to eat
they had stuffed grape leaves and some sort of raw highly seasoned lamb dish, and pickled vegetables lamb meatballs in some kind of tomato based gravy and something that looks liek mini eggrolls but with a lamb (sense a theme here?) filling
I kept thinking that JohnG and Jose would probably love this stuff
'
I would be very ill. I love the flavor of lamb, but I have a very bad reaction. So bad, that if I had been on the tarmac, they would regret me not using the bathroom.
-
Listening to music.

Instead of showing the pics it's just questions marks.

that's why airlines don't serve lamb.

Makes no sense. Tell me exactly what you're doing - and the kind of file or photo you're uploading - the size and if it's a proper jpg with that extension.

Has anyone else seen the new commercial with "Chicken Fat" ? here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acMnRg_mjOY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acMnRg_mjOY)

It's a jpeg and is currently on my desktop. I think the desktop location may have something to do with it. But since I don't usually post images i don't really know.

When you are uploading, you can't preview it, or it won't work. You just have to post cold.

I have, but I don't think that is Robert Preston singing.

My new wheels (maybe):
That didn't work.

Jeanne, try clicking on the "Attachments and other" and it should drop down and give you a place to attach the photos

I tried that, but from Quick Reply. It has to be from Reply?
-
You need to upload the photo by clicking on attachments and other options and then find the file. I don't think attaching as an img file works unless it's on the internet already
-
Try it from Reply not quick Reply. It's a plus sign below the box you type your post in

Back from the pizza party. Quite amazing. The man has the most cultivated cacti garden around his house. Takes up most every available spot and is lovely to boot. Some succulents and a few garden plants, tomato, basil and the like, all over productive in a well-tended way.
In back, he has an outdoor kitchen with an ancient gas stove in which he makes the most wonderful pizzas. People generally show up with wine and toppings and he uses them as he sees fit with a few vegetarian options regularly scheduled, plus some veggie pizzas with seafood. (No vegan options, no cashew "cheese," nothing of that order, sorry.)
So we sat outside with a fan keeping things cool and a delightful group of people. I ran into a friend I hadn't seen in 10 years or so. I think he's suffered something, akin to a stroke or a drug-related setback (more likely the latter and possibly alcohol-related, though he was drinking). He was functioning, and he remembered me, and we had a few good chats over the course of the evening. Still, something was missing there, and it was rather sad, because he was, well, rather brilliant before. I've had the same response to dealings with a friend of mine from high school, who was also brilliant back in the day.

Well, I could only get one of them to post.

DR John G I'm curious how the sleep study has been so draining. I've heard from people they were fine with them. Maybe they just say that to encourage me to go.
I wish I knew exactly why. I slept without aid for the first two hours or so, then I was awakened and had the mask applied. Then I slept fairly well until I was awakened in the morning. I remember waking once or twice, but I feel as if I slept most of the night through. Still, I felt groggy and disoriented when they finished they test.
-
Seven!
-
Oh, it did it. Two pics.
-
DR Jeanne, the photos are really small for me, but the car looks great!
-
We had another bout of lightning thunder, heavy rain and hail. This time we got hail, but it wasn't the tennis ball size they were talking about earlier
-
Thanks, Cilla, and thanks for the help. I don't know how to make them bigger.
-
My new wheels:
Very nice, Jeanne.

Great car, Jeanne.
Good night, all.

Thanks, John G.

And, of course, that great song "Chicken Fat" was written in 1961 by Meredith Wilson and recorded by Robert Preston!

For the first time in a while, I get to sleep in today. I'll need to do a little laundry and then I'm ushering tonight for the Masterworks Choral Ensemble and their show, Sing Sinatra: Music of Ol’ Blue Eyes (http://wcpa.squarespace.com/upcoming-events/2014/6/14/sing-sinatra-music-of-ol-blue-eyes.html). But I also want to go to work (after the aforementioned laundry has been completed) and make up a few hours...THEN I'll go and usher for the Sinatra choral show.
Have a good day, all!
I didn't get any laundry done, but I did go to work and usher for "Sing Sinatra." It was a good concert. The audience really loved it.

Will there really be a 'Morning'?
by Emily Dickinson
Will there really be a "Morning"?
Is there such a thing as "Day"?
Could I see it from the mountains
If I were as tall as they?
Has it feet like Water lilies?
Has it feathers like a Bird?
Is it brought from famous countries
Of which I have never heard?
Oh some Scholar! Oh some Sailor!
Oh some Wise Man from the skies!
Please to tell a little Pilgrim
Where the place called "Morning" lies!
I'd read that every Emily Dickinson poem can be sung to the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas."
I don't know if it's true, but this poem certainly fits the cadence. :D
