Well, you've read the notes, the notes were interesting on any number of levels, and now it is time for you to post until the leveled cows come home.

I had a strange dream that seemed to be long and plotted out. It was filled with people I have never met except for actress Emily Blunt playing herself. It was about working for another company and wasn't quite sure what they did, but I liked the energy and the money they were going to give me. I was on my way to resign my position at FedEx and got inside the elevator with co-workers and Emily Blunt who was no longer an actress but working for the company and that where I woke up.

There was a sci-fi moment when this older worker would seem to run out of energy and lie down. They would place an iPad kind of device on his chest and it would re-energize him. My first assignment was to order new letterhead. All the new recruits wore red jackets I was going to complain I didn't have one but I realized I had one on. And just before the end everyone was wearing a blue one except for Emily Blunt was wearing designer (don't know who) business attire.

Good morning, all!  I slept late, partly because i was lazy and partly because of a disturbing dream that woke me around 7:30.  Before that, I had wakened around 4:00am and could not get back to sleep for what seemed ages Then I had this dream, of which I remember only pieces:  a Manhattan Dunkin' Donuts and an office building with a huge window looking north over Seventh Avenue around 50th Street, working in a large Barnes & Noble, riding in a car driven by (I think) the Man from Philadelphia, we were in Middletown, Ohio, where Shaker Road intersects with Manchester Avenue and it was raining and the driver took a wrong turn and a police car with flashing lights pulled us over.  He had bad news: my two brothers had been attacked and injured. Then I was in some parking lot with my sister-in-law JoAnn and several ladies and informed that my brother Randy was in a hospital room and that Macbeth had been killed in the attack; the last thing I remember before the alarm rang is lying on the concrete sobbing and keening.  It was quite disturbing.

I don't remember my dreams, even though I know I woke from an active, noisy one, which is just as well because the Dream-O-Matic 6000 is going to be blowing fuses on those last two.

The Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that DR MIKE's dream indicates that he feels the changes at his current job have created a new positive atmosphere for him, and that he is pleased to still be working there instead of someplace else. His medical team has revived him and he is also appreciative for that, and he feels that he is on the road to being one of the team once again.
Title: Re: ON ANY NUMBER OF LEVELS
Post by: Jrand74 on January 04, 2015, 07:32:28 AM
The Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that DR ELMORE's dream indicates that he is being prepared for changes in family dynamics - not necessarily including the loss of a relative - but a change. Also do not wonder if decisions made in the past are as they should be, they have already been made and cannot be changed. He will also take more control of his life this year and should make every effort to be in the driver's seat rather than merely a passenger in life.

I attempted to read my new kindle book but it keeps repeating sentences when I turn the pages.  Anyone know how I can fix this or get my money back?  Changing the font size didn't work.

If you just bought it you can get your money back by going into your account.  If you go on an actual computer and go into your amazon account you can go into manage your content. Under "your content" and under "actions" if you just bought it it will have the choice "return for refund".

I would suggest either a) deleting it off your device and re-sending it. Or contacting customer service to see if they can help you.  I have never had this problem.

I'm at the National Theatre in DC waiting to see if I'll win the lottery for a ticket to see Pippin.  I am of course familiar with the Broadway lotteries but had no idea that this theatre had one.   I was set to buy a ticket online and balked at the $17 ! service charge.  I looked around the theatre's website and discovered the lottery.

Thanks FJL.  They were all very scared when it happened. She lost a lot of blood and if she hadn't gone to the hospital or gotten the surgery she could have died very easily.  So, we are all very thankful it worked out.  Here hemoglobin is still really low, but she's home.

I didn't think to do the complete shut down and back on trick.  I dislike doing that as it then requires passwords to various links (can't remember which ones).

I never have more than 2 shows on.  But I do get the West Coast feed. Plus Downton Abbey replays during the night (and during the week). There is some kind of Downton Abbey special on right after it. Not really sure what it is.

I'm at the National Theatre in DC waiting to see if I'll win the lottery for a ticket to see Pippin.  I am of course familiar with the Broadway lotteries but had no idea that this theatre had one.   I was set to buy a ticket online and balked at the $17 ! service charge.  I looked around the theatre's website and discovered the lottery.

$17?? :o OMG!!  And I thought $3 per ticket was a bit much.:-\

Thanks, DR jrand64!  I won !  Of course the odds were good. Twenty tickets available and fewer than 30 entered, I'd guess.  And the seat is in the center , 8th row!

Congrats on the lottery win, Kevin!

I really enjoyed Pippin. It's not my favorite story but the songs and unbelievable acrobatics are just wonderful.  Kyle Dean Massey was terrific as the lead as was Lucie Arnaz as Berthe.  They were both very nice at the stage door.  I told Lucie that she was great in Pippin and that "They're Playing Our Song" is one of my favorites and she said "Mine too!"

We are supposed to have one hour of Funniest Home Videos and then one hour of GALAVANT...which I shall give a look.

I have already seen the season of DOWNTON, so I don't have to watch.....

And I do not like MADAME SECRETARY.....

Galavant, Downton Abbey, Life Itself, and  Celebrity Apprentice...are they all at the same time?  I don't think I can record that many things .....Oh, Galavant is on at 7:00.  I can record it

Here we have a season 4 marathon of Franklin & Bash, plus The Librarians, Downton Abbey, The good Wife, Madame Secretary and Celebrity Apprentice.

I never have more than 2 shows on.  But I do get the West Coast feed. Plus Downton Abbey replays during the night (and during the week). There is some kind of Downton Abbey special on right after it. Not really sure what it is.

I didn't know when "The Librarians" was starting!  Thanks for mentioning that.  I have the three orignial made-for-TV movies and really enjoyed them.

Sorry I was E & T yesterday and last evening.  My friend Sharry celebrated her 70th birthday (it wa actually 12/27, but everyone was out of town) with a big party at Tacoma Little Theatre.  It was supposed to be a drop in / drop out affair, but people I hadn't seen in ages kept showing up, so I ended up staying for almost the entire party.  A wonderful time was had by all, but boy am I tired today.

When I got home last night, I went right to bed, but I couldn't get the i-Pad to connect to the WIFI (or wife) at all.  It has gotten harder and harder in recent weeks which makes me think that the problem is the modem or router, or modem-router.  So, I bit the bullet and bought a new one from Amazon that will be delivered this week.  Hopefully that will solve the problem, but if not, I can still stop paying the rental fee for the cheap-ass one from Century Link.

The Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that DR MIKE's dream indicates that he feels the changes at his current job have created a new positive atmosphere for him, and that he is pleased to still be working there instead of someplace else. His medical team has revived him and he is also appreciative for that, and he feels that he is on the road to being one of the team once again.

And what does Dream-O-Matic 6000 say about Emily Blunt who I know is an actress and saw in The Devil Wears Prada and is in Into The Woods which I haven't seen yet.

Hi all. 

Today was the last day of vacation.  I'm bummed.  I really don't want to have to go back to work but I guess I have to.  Boo and hoo.

I got a lot done around the house and did manage to get some real rest so that's a good thing.

I can't remember what comes on when any more not to mention I can't remember the channel numbers anymore.  I just click until I find something.  For the most part, I wait and and watch whatever I wanted to see on the "On Demand" channels.  I have a DVR but I really like the "On Demand" channels better because they cut the commercials for you. 

I forgot all about Galavant but I'm sure I can catch it there later.

I had the lawn mowed today by the kid next door.  I've finely given up on trying to keep up with it.   The vibrations from the mower make my hands ache when I do it.  It's much easier to pay the kid to do it for me.

I washed the dogs today.  It was VERY warm here (in the 80's).  We will have a cold front coming down later in the week so it was a good day to get all the outside stuff done.

Well that's about all for today.  I did have an odd dream that I can't remember much about but I knew I was dreaming and told a female (can not even really remember who she was--Not my Mom--I do know that much) goodbye because I knew I was going to wake up and I might never see her again.  Then I woke up!

DR Danise, what is cold for you?
  Anything under 50 degrees.   The cold front is taking us to a high of 45---for me that is VERY cold.  You have to understand how hard it is to go from 80 and then in a matter of days down to 45.  I don't think my body knows how to handle that big of a drop so fast.

Post by: Danise on January 04, 2015, 06:55:05 PM
Then it could go back up again.  I know it's only cold for a few days at a time but again, it's like a roller coaster.  If it would get cold and stay cold, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

I see people go to work in short sleeves on those cold days then wonder why they come down with a cough/cold/flu.  I bundle up in layers and "peal" as need be to match the temp.
Title: Re: ON ANY NUMBER OF LEVELS
Post by: Jane on January 04, 2015, 06:56:34 PM
That is a difficult drop.  When we went to Disney World we went from the high 90s to around 25 and had left our winter clothes in Michigan.

Still, 45 isn't bad.  Maybe we should move to Florida.  You don't have an income tax :)

Just read the notes, which I must have forgotten to do before. I have always loved the soundtrack to Funny Lady, especially Streisand's version of Great Day. In the last few years, I came across Sarah Vaughan's earlier recording of the same and was surprised at how similar they were. I never thought of Streisand as being a copier, and I still don't, but, well, let's call it a mighty fine tribute from one singer to another.

Back from a nice dinner at the barbecue jernt Boneyard.  I literally could not get in anywhere else - I just don't get it on the final Sunday night of the long vacation weeks.  Can no one just stay home?  Every restaurant I drove by had lines - it was just ridiculous.  We finally ended up at Vitello's - we were told there would be a thirty minute wait even though there were lots of tables.  There was one awful and awkward table by the front door so we took that.  I hadn't been in there since they redid the entire restaurant - they managed to take this comfy family-style Eyetalian jernt and turn it into a cold, industrial piece of crap.  We sat there looking at the menu and at some point our waiter whizzed by the table telling us he'd get to us in about ten minutes.  That, coupled with the fact that the menu was completely different, was enough for me and we bailed.  I then called Boneyard to see if we could get in and they said come right over.  We lucked out because they were full up but everyone left at the same time, so half the jernt was empty.  Other than eating enough for three people, the food was excellent once again.
