I am quite testy this morning.  the damned DVR that arrived here two months ago is dead, so I have no television today. Time Warner claims they are booked today but they can send a service person tomorrow at noon, which leaves me offline today and screws up tomorrow's plans completely. No, I am not happy at the moment.

At the moment, I am stuck here awaiting my HMO's "Home Care Service," which means at 9:00 or so, a nurse will show up, take my temperature, check my meds, and leave.  This seems to me a waste of my time and their money since I see my doctor, an eye doctor, and a podiatrist every four months already.

I was making my bed this a.m. and the power went out.   I wondered what it was I had done to make it so until I was awake enough to realize it wasn't my fault.

Completely dark...utterly dark.  I have a flashlight.  Could not find the matches for my candles.

Dressed by flashlight.   Traversed three flights of stairs in semi-darkness.  And when I reached the first floor, 2s and 3s of people scurrying about wondering if anyone knew if the garage gate could be opened manually.  I called the HOA president who said that the gate could be opened manually, that there was a switch, but that she didn't know where it was.

Then, the power was restored and we 2s and 3s scurried down to the garage.

Sigh.

I had the same problem.  Was not sleepy when I went to bed at 10:30 p.m.   By midnight, I was back in the living room sitting in my chair playing computer games.  Was not one bit sleepy.  Also, my left nostril was clogged and my C-PAP wasn't any fun when the air was being blocked.

It wasn't until around 3 a.m. that I finally drifted off (and my nostril had UN-clogged and my C-PAP functioned perfectly).

Woke up at 5:50 a.m. and thought about staying home.  Decided against it, got up and started making up the bed and that's when the power shut down.

Sigh.

We had our annual "chili cook-off" today, but it was NOT user-friendly.   Last year, you could pay to taste-test each chili offering and then vote.  For a couple of extra dollars, you could eat a bowl of your favorite chili (which, as a side, had cheese and onions and cornbreads to complement the meal).

This time, it was $6 to taste-test and vote.  BUT, if you wanted a bowl of your favorite, you had to pay $8.

People stayed away in droves.

Hmmm, does anyone have a belt/waist holder for an iPhone?

I purchased the smallest phone possible so it can fit into my pockets, or at least most of them.  I have discovered a major problem, I can't feel it vibrate when a call comes in.  Keith called me 6 times today and drove around trying to find me because I didn't know he had called.  Fortunately I began to wonder where he was and pulled my phone out of my pocket to call him.

I, not surprisingly, could not hear the phone ring since I was on a street with traffic.  The sound was accidentally turned down.  The ringer is now locked and can not be accidentally moved.

Post by: Jane on April 11, 2016, 05:28:48 PM
I go for fast, long walks.  I want my arms free.  I put the phone in my back pocket, always have, and I can feel if someone calls.  If the phone is in my purse, even a waist purse, I won't likely hear it.

Now I have planes and trains to complete with over the sound of the ring.  I could hear the phone fine today, testing it along the river, but not at all when the military jets went over us.

What are you listening to, Ginny?

Just finished Hissing Cousins: The Untold Story of Eleanor Roosevelt and Alice Roosevelt Longworth by Marc Peyser and Timothy Dwyer.

Sounds like fun.

Now I'm on to Among the Mad, #6 in Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs series.  It's narrated by Orlagh Cassidy, one of my favorite audiobook readers.

I didn't realize you weren't farther along in the series.  I am 3rd in my library queue for her 12th, and current, novel.

DR Jane, I read the first 5 pretty close together and got a little burned out on the series.  Now I'm ready to pick it back up and realized when I started listening that it's very well-written.

DR Jennifer, can you feel your phone vibrate when it is in your purse?

I didn't mean that you would be able to hear it vibrate in a purse, you won't. I just meant that i would never put it in my pocket. I don't even know that you would feel it in a fanny pack.  I guess if you are in a loud place just check for missed calls every 10 minutes.

Watching Eddie Cantor in Roman Scandals. Busby Berkeley is insanely wonderful in this picture. There are naked chorus girls with massive blonde wigs chained to walls (one of the chorus girls is Lucille Ball in her first picture) and the music has all these whip sounds whiles other women slaves gyrate until they can't stand anymore. Ugly men leer at them. One falls to her death. And all to Harry Warren music.

The singer is Ruth Etting, the woman Doris Day played in Love Me or Leave Me.

I try not to read too many books in a series at once, unless there is a cliffhanger that really grabs me.

I did check for Keith's call after 15 minutes.  That seems like a long time when you are driving around looking for someone.  I will have to see if I can return the phone or find something that I can wear it on my waist :(

Jane, my hairdresser has one of those holsters for his iphone 4. He's very happy with it. The iphone 5 isn't much bigger than the 4 and you may be able to find a new one that fits a holster. My 5 is only a smidgen bigger than the SE. They're available on Amazon.

I meant can you feel your phone vibrate through your purse if it is next to you.  My purse has an outside pocket for my phone.  I could feel my old phone.

One of those black clunky looking holters?  I really hate to have to wear one as often as I will need to.  Yes, I may have to but I want somehing pretty.  As it is I hang keys and other items from my pant loops.

I knew Christopher Seppe, who is on the OCR of CHAROTTE SWEET.  He was the roommate of a good friend of mine in New York, when I lived in New Jersey.  At the time I knew him, he was playing The Boy in THE FANTASTICKS during its original Off-Broadway run in the Village.

I love Babs as much as the next fellow, but these clockwork press agent-posted "announcements" about Gypsy are hilarious.  Whenever she's been out of the news for a year up they pop, with some new person attached.  Like anyone in their right mind would let Barry Levinson direct a movie of Gypsy.  This movie is not happening, was NEVER happening and never WILL happen.  When it was first "announced" which was about four years ago, Ms. Streisand was newly in her 70s.  It was a howler then that she'd play the mother of little kids, and guess what - it's four years LATER.  There's no deal in place to make the movie so how exactly has Barry Levinson signed on to anything?  And let's say a miracle happened and somehow they went into production later this year, as they say they would - which they won't because, wait for it, there is no DEAL.  That means shooting next year.  Someone post Ms. Streisand's age as of next year.
