silly questions
DR ChasSmith, I am happy that your gas door thingy is fixed.
I'm sure that the cows will miss seeing you.
It's sad, though, that even at the Community Theatre level, they have microphones. You can see the mic on the man who's not my nephew. I don't know who he plays, perhaps the Donkey.

Hey, Sing, not only did you see someone you know in Shrek, you saw someone you didn't know but someone I know.

Only in our smallest local theaters are microphones mostly still not used. Mostly. And the high schools, and such? Forget it. The kids are coming out of the womb expecting to be miked.

Yes, Deb, my nephew has decided that theatre is his calling. I don't know if he will decide to make a career out of it or if it will be community theatre. He will be a junior in college this fall and he had said that he wants to be a teacher.
We will find out in a couple of years.

DR Ben, is this the nephew I met with You and Anthony?
Seeing an old friend I haven't seen in 20 years. Thanks to Facebook. Say what you must about it is really good finding old friends an reconnecting

The doctor wanted to wait and see about the shoulder which I thought was stupid. They could have done it at the same time. I told them that too.

Just had a call from an old friend whom I thought had written me off. His life is crazy (his wife wants him to move to Ecuador to take care of their grandchild while she may not be moving), so maybe a call once every five years or so will have to suffice. Still, it was nice to hear from him.
For today only here are some kindle deals in the mystery/thriller section for $1.99

Saturday morning greetings! Thank you, DRs Singdaw, Vixmom, John G, TCB, KevinH, FJL, ChasSmith, and Elmore for all the vibes regarding my Mom. I told her I'd check in on her today, but not until after 5pm. Today is her retirement community's annual fish fry, their biggest fundraiser, and traffic will be awful until it's over. Mom used to volunteer for this event and it makes me sad because she hasn't even wanted to attend for the past several years.
I think this situation is going to get a lot worse before it gets better...
TOD - Triscuits are my favorites and in recent years I've opted for the reduced sodium version. They are called "Hint of Salt," which sounds better than low sodium.

Vibes DR Ginny....I'm feeling the same about my parents. I'm going up there next weekend.

I'm a Triscuit fan too. There are so many kinds. I think the reduced sodium taste just as good as the regular

I was out of Hint of Salt and ate some regular ones the other day. They tasted so-o-o-o salty!

I am home from NYMF. Kevin Spirtas was wonderful, as were the rest of the cast. I liked the show.

What was the show?
Just talked to the family. All but me are in Louisville this weekend, which is good because it will help Mom and Dad overlook the car situation. Apparently, Dad's ready to go get a car on Monday. He doesn't want to deal with anyone on Craigslist, though, and he's been saving up for the purchase, so it looks like a new used car is in their future.
He has his eye on a Camry or a Honda of some sort. Nice.
DR Vixmom I like that you turned a job into a fun outing.
Speaking of Mexican restaurants...
Here's an Ask BK or DR Jeanne or Jane or whoever...
I was recently reminded of a Mexican restaurant in Santa Monica which, as I recall, was in an unusual location, being on an upper floor of some building -- but I have no idea what the building was, or what the restaurant was called. I think it was in Santa Monica, not far from the ocean, but I suppose it could have been farther inland in West L.A. Which doesn't help narrow it down any. This was in the late '70s or thereabouts. Does that ring a bell with anyone?
That's The Cholo, for those that don't speak Spanish.
Toppers was the Mexican restaurant on the top floor of The Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica.

Wow! Thanks! When both Jane and BK didn't recognize it, I was thinking it really must have been someplace else.
Ginny, what you're going through is so difficult! Hugs and vibes to you and your mom.

Oh my, this greatly expresses what you have been dealing with. I'm glad today was much better.
Too bad. It would also be company for her to have someone drop in twice a day.

Nice to know he wanted a new car :)
Are they still feeling good?
DR John G, I was surprised how much the Audi dealer was willing to negotiate, even on a used car. The salesman told me later that $300-500 is common for them. I hope your parents get a good deal.
I found cargurus.com a useful site. They have listings for local areas and rate them as to value--"great bargain," "good deal," "overpriced," etc. It gave me a good perspective before setting foot at the dealers.

steak and kidney pie and chips for Vixdad
steak and onion pie and chips for me
Vixdad had a deep fried Mars bar and a scoop of vanilla ice cream for his "pudding"
I had sticky toffee pudding with homemade whipped cream -- and a cuppa Yorkshire Gold tea
Good evening. Today I saw the tour of Jersey Boys.
Cillaliz, love the planter.
Watching a odd little play called Sea Marks with George Hearn as an Irishman who falls in love with a woman he sees at a wedding. They start swapping letters and finally meet. But they seem to communicate by letter than in person.
I have no idea why I'm still up so I think I'll go to bed
