Well, you've read the notes, the notes either had an outage or didn't have an outage, and now it is time for you to post until the outed cows come home.

Vivian Eng was a lovely lady.  What we most remember was the fun and honest joy every time she saw Skip or us with our dogs.  She'd have the most enjoyable laugh and was such a kind person.


This was on the Times Square Chronicles.

An odd but okay sleep was had, with dreams that I can't recall but which seem to have been sort of realistic and logical ..... which is probably just what they wanted me to think, so I'm not having any of it.

Coffee!

Good morning, all! Another bad night: wide awake at 5:00am, fell back to sleep around 6:00 after my alarm rang.  I think tonight I will hold off on the muscle relaxer until just before bed and see if I sleep through until 8.  This cannot continue.

DR Elmore, Richard and Rob buy their suits at Jos.A.Bank (http://www.josbank.com/AjaxStoreLocatorDisplayView?catalogId=14052&langId=-1&storeId=13452), which you can see has several locations in the area.  We'd be glad to go with you!

Post by: Jrand74 on September 03, 2015, 07:29:09 AM
Jos A. Bank is good - and that suit will last and last.

I prefer Burlington Coat Factory only because they sell the coat, trousers, vest all separately so that you can get a good fit.  BUT JAB I think does alterations....and their selection is greater for sure.

What I love about the inner web:

HHW, Ebay, You Tube, being able to find old friends and photos of interesting locations, and being able to research musicals and plays.

What I hate about the inner web:

Stupid people, political rants which are not discussions but one-sided rants by people who want to change your mind with stupid arguments....

Making stars of people with NO talent or reason for notoriety....

It can be a colossal waste of time.....

As I said last night was a great rehearsal.  The stage manager was finally backstage, and so I felt free of her squeaky pen writing line notes -

She of course missed a crucial telephone cue because she had forgotten to plug the ringer box into an outlet....we talked a bit and then I picked up the phone and finished the sequence....  She then of course ranted during notes that she was trying to ring the phone, but of course by then, I had picked up the receiver, so it wouldn't ring.

She also let us know she had been taking line notes backstage and would send them out today.....the director finally said that we didn't need them anymore.

She then took that moment to tell me that her parents were upset because I left her name out of the newspaper story about INTO THE WOODS....  I think it was a case of "cut and forgot to paste" because I had her in the first paragraph and didn't like her that high up in the story....but then I forgot to PASTE her in at the bottom.

OOPS.

Post by: Ron Pulliam on September 03, 2015, 07:39:58 AM
Funny thing (or NOT so funny):  My home computer AND my cell phone require me to log in here on occasion.  Last night, I very much wanted to thank you all for the warm fuzzies of your birthday greetings yesterday.  Problem:  My log-in would not work.

I messaged Bruce and also Larry to let them know my heart was in it, but my computers were letting me down.

Bruce promised to look into it, and Bruce, let me say that I wanted to wait until I got back to work to check my "password document" on my personal drive on my work server.

Will try one more time...and will then let you know.

Otherwise:  MANY THANKS FOR YOUR GOOD WISHES.

This is a jury duty week....a major trial is brewing and I'm one of a two-pool body from which the court is selecting jurors.   It has been long, a bit boring, a bit maddening and infuriating (all the folks who "won't" display any reasoning abilities when asked yes-no questions).

I'd like to believe that most of the jury-to-be has been seated, but the attorneys have the right to excuse 20 jurors each and the defense seems to be eliminating anyone well-spoken with the ability to think and is openly in favor of the due process at hand.   

We shall see what we shall see.    Meanwhile, I'm coming to work at 7 a.m. and working until 9:15 a.m. when I leave for court.  I return for the noon-2 p.m. lunch break and work some more.  Then I get off at the same time as work:  4:30 p.m..

It's a very busy week for me and I'm rushing, rushing, rushing to get things done.  It is, therefore, very irritating when I cannot post here from home in the evenings.

I am now able to log-in.   Thanks for your efforts. I had re-set my password back in May and had FORGOTTEN what it was, apparently.

Sorry, everyone, for not being here yesterday!

Back at work for the lunch break.

The morning was relentlessly dull and infuriating.  I did a lot of eye-rolling...for naught, of course, as no one is paying the least bit of "teention" to me.

12 people are seated with one of them awaiting his (or her) questioning.   I haven't kept track of peremptory dismissals, but both attorneys have to be closing in on 15 or so each (they each get 20).

I'm torn between wanting to have a say of my own and being perfectly willing to seat there and then be released with thanks.

Bored, boring, bored.  Sinuses acting up.  Small tension headache behind my left eye.

TOD: What I like about the internet.

About three years ago, my son and his co-worker were chatting. She said to him, "I have a friend I grew up with when we both lived in the Philippines. I think you two would get along. You should meet her."

They got acquainted over the internet. He went to visit her. For the last couple of years they have been working on getting her a visa.

I have gotten acquainted with her over Facebook. She seems like a very sweet young lady.

She arrives Sunday on a fiance visa.

Those really are, Jane!

If only I had the patience to do this.  I doubt they take too much talent.  Keith would likely consider them clutter after I was done.

TOD: What I like about the internet.

About three years ago, my son and his co-worker were chatting. She said to him, "I have a friend I grew up with when we both lived in the Philippines. I think you two would get along. You should meet her."

They got acquainted over the internet. He went to visit her. For the last couple of years they have been working on getting her a visa.

I have gotten acquainted with her over Facebook. She seems like a very sweet young lady.

She arrives Sunday on a fiance visa.

Wow oh wow, I have chills.

May she be a wonderful addition to your family.  Congratulations!

We went for our flu shots today and were asked which of the three types available that we wanted. 

There is the traditional 3 strain vaccination and the quad that we opted for last year after, I believe, DR Cilla mentioned it.

First he offered us the High-dose flu shot: Designed specifically for seniors, which we declined. It is a stronger dose of the 3 strain with more risk for side effects.

My ex-boyfriend and I met on an Internet dating site, also.  We lasted two and a half years before the distance and him not having a car took its toll on me. :-\

I am home from The Weir.  It was a lovely production but i wanted more.  i wanted the ghost stories to scare me to death. They did not and the ending was really tepid.  Good cast, lovely set, but something was missing.

IK had a great time with Joshie. We gossiped, we laughed, and we saw a play.
