Well, you've read the notes, the notes were once charming and are hopefully still charming, and now it is time for you to post until the once charming cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: VARIEGATED!
-
First post after BK!
-
First post after TCB!
-
Good night, George.
-
Good night, 1 Guest.
-
Good night, Tom. Talkative tonight, aren't we?
;)
-
TCB - In case I'm not around to actually see it, pre-congrats on your upcoming exciting round milestone!!!
-
Quiet neighborhood vibes for BK!
-
Good Morning to all
-
Good morning, all!

Last night was not a good night for sleep. There were plenty of weird dreams, but I only remember now a run of something in a theatre like the New York State Theatre Institute, only part of the cast was from my EILEEN and ROBERTA recordings, and we seemed to be in Hilton Head. Then there was this weird cast party . . .
-
As soon as I can this morning, I will head to the post office and send this resignation letter.
-
It'd Friday000 that's enough for me! :D
-
As soon as I can this morning, I will head to the post office and send this resignation letter.
I received a certified letter yesterday. The website to request redelivery doesn't work. I then called for it, spent a lot of time giving my information to an automated system only to be then told redelivery doesn't exist and to hold for a person. 10 minutes later I gave up so we could go for a walk.
-
"Thank you for calling. We do not exist. Goodbye."

I had to go get a new small space heater. I got mine out, plugged it in last night. It gave a POP.....and then was gone...... I think it's two years old, and it only cost $20, so I spent another $20 this morning for a new one.
I watched a Christopher Lee DRACULA movie last night that I had never seen. It was called SCARS OF DRACULA and was fairly entertaining. Made in 1970. One of the main characters was something of a bounder as they said in the late 19th Century. However, he was also fashion forward. When Dracula discovered him in bed with his "helper" and threw him out....said bounder was wearing fashionable red bikini underwear......
-
LOL DR RLP.....does that help?
-
Friday morning greetings! Richard's at the clergy meeting this morning and I'm puttering at our hotel. We'll be outta here by noon to head west. Tonight we'll be in either Beckley or Charleston, WV, depending on our driving stamina. We rarely travel without confirmed lodging reservations, so we're kinda livin' on the edge here...

I loved the Hammer films fashion mashups! If the dress is long, it's 19th century.

I had a nice walk to the post office. The resignation letter is in the post.
Before I left, I had a call from Joshie to report on King & I progress in Providence.
-
Next post after Larry.
-
Project Runway: It is always nice to see an ass get his comeuppance. Well done, Cornelius. It couldn't have happened to a bitchier guy.
-
DR Ginny, the event dinner sounds like a dud for the demands placed on it. I hope your return trip goes smoothly.
-
"Thank you for calling. We do not exist. Goodbye."
😆
-
I might try again today and see if there was a glitch yesterday.

That is when cell phones come handy.

If my neighbor backs out of our date to walk this morning I will have Keith drop me off at the post office and walk home.
-
Good morning, all.
-

Yep, and thanks!
-
Continued vibes for DR GINNY & DH RICHARD.
Yes $50 per sounds a bit pricey for a Boo-Fay.

Lawn mowing, building, roofing, etc cannot start until 8 a.m. in my town....so at least we get an extra hour compared to MR BK.

At work, we're able to have personal things delivered without any trouble because it doesn't cost the library anything, but before I realized that, I would, of course, have things delivered to my apartment. Sometimes, the UPS delivery person would leave a note saying that I wasn't home and they would be back tomorrow, but I wouldn't be home then, either. It used to be that if I wanted to have UPS redeliver it to another place, like my work, it would be free. I could just go on-line and put in the tracking information and new address. Now (or at least as of several years ago), it costs $4.00 to redeliver to another address! But if you want it held at the UPS delivery hub, that's free. VERY fortunately, the UPS delivery hub is just two blocks away from where I work. But since we can have personal packages delivered to work, it's not a problem. :)

My neighbor is going with me to pick it up. I enjoy combining walks with errands. I just hope it is a little envelope and I can cram in my back pocket.
-
That is convenient DR George. It doesn't help if you haven't a clue something is to be delivered ;D
-
Spanky takes a phone call. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PU6p8ekG8s)
-
LOL DR RLP.....does that help?
Absolutely. It helps so very much. More than you know (more than you know).

Today is Friday in Oakland, CA.
Today is also our Silent Auction and our Nachos Sale.
I personally donated a bunch of kitchen stuff to this here silent auction.
I find myself looking forward to retiring by this time next year and facing a move across country.
I needed to lighten my load..considerably.
-
I'm up, I'm up - I was up at about four-thirty - something from last night really didn't agree with me and I suspect it was a combo platter of the rich carbonara and a piece of pizza that had a lot of red sauce. I'm guessing my red sauce days are done. I coughed a lot, trashed my voice certainly, and finally fell back asleep around seven so maybe five or six hours of sleep.
-
That's weird - I kept hitting post and nothing posted so I closed the page, came back and there's the post.
-
So the monstrosity that is for sale - is that the place where the lady of house used to sunbathe topless?
-
I bought a plate of nachos at the Nachos Sale.
It tasted very good.
Now my stomach is complaining vociferously.
And on a Friday, too.
-
This has not been the pleasantest day of the week for me.
No, it has not.
Still, last night I got a terrific night of sleep.
When I was just about ready to leave the house this morning, I was
plagued with a bout of disruptive something or other. It went on for
a while until my dosage of Pepto took hold.
I do hope I haven't come down with something.
-
Painting word pictures is so hard to avoid sometimes.
-
And is anyone a bit over hearing Heidi Klum, on Project Runway, talk about how much she likes "poopy pants" (a "fit" that looks like someone took a poop in the seat of their pants)?
-
There was a barber and his wife,
And she was beautiful.
A foolish barber and his wife.
She was his reason and his life,
And she was beautiful,
And she was virtuous,
And he was... naive.
-

When you say how much she likes that look, do you mean that she doesn't like the look at all, or that she really likes the look?
-
So the monstrosity that is for sale - is that the place where the lady of house used to sunbathe topless?
No, that couple still live next door to the north. The monstrosity, that was JUST finished about eight weeks ago is the next house to the east of me and the new teardown is the house next to that to the north - that house actually shares a fence with the couple to the north of me.
-
Listening to some interesting Japanese classical music by Akira Ifukube, who, of course, was one of the top Japanese film composers - his most well known music is many of the Godzilla films, including the very first one. In fact, listening to a classical piece from the 40s, towards the end suddenly we hear the famous Godzilla march from the first film. The classical pieces are very much in the style of his film scores - he's pretty great.
-
Good afternoon.
-
I just had to make a phone call I didn't want to make.
My first real dental problem. My gum didn't heal properly after the crown I had done last year.
-
Dental vibes for DR Laura.
Btw, I wanna see the butterflies.

Ah....thanks for the trip around the neighborhood MR BK.
-
Feel better vibes for DR RLP.
Did you win anything at the silent auction?
The Spanky clip makes me want to watch some of Little Rascals DVD set......

Thanks to Protonix I can eat red sauce plus many other foods.

Not good. Vibes you can find a solution! Have you tried using a rubber tipped gum massager?

On the way to the post office we discovered the address on the slip was for a different post office, not the one near us. My neighbor and I still had a nice walk back. That was her first time walking home from downtown.
I signed the slip and put it in my mailbox. I will soon find out if that works. The neighbor said she does it all the time. I also found out if you put in the tracking number there is a box to fill in for them to redeliver.
-
Mouth healing vibes for Laura!
-
Feel better, Ron!

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, from the land o' Cincinnati chili.
-
Which, in case you're wondering, is what I just ate.
Gold Star. Hadn't had that one in a while. It was excellent.
-
And, btw, their beans are not of the kidney variety. I'm no expert on beans, but I think they're pinto. And I think those are perfect for this dish. Now I really want to try Skyline's right away to compare flavors and beans and such, but I don't think that will work out.
-
I did, however, just pick up several cans of the Gold Star to add to my stash of several cans of the Skyline at home. And a few more 12-packs of Diet Vernors. This should see me through the winter.
-
And those pumpkin raisin cookies?
-
Those are a Stew Leonard's in Connecticut speciality, so they get picked up as soon as I get back. And I'll make sure I get them to you right away.
-
I have been revising a piece I wrote for Halloween two years ago that started me on my memoirs. I've finished the orchestration I was working on and I will show it to Joshie on Tuesday when he returns from Providence.
My colleague on Guys & Dolls is not working as fast as I, so our invoices will not go in for at least another weekm I learned about an hour ago. I am so financially screwed at the moment because of this news. As Scarlett O'Fever says, I'll think about it tomorrow.
-

They may be my only food for November!
-
I know you like Vernors. Do you eat Cincinnati chili? I'd be happy to include some in your gift basket! :)
-

I'll pass on the chili!
-
But you'll take some Vernors? Regular or diet?
-
Gum vibes for DR LAURA.
-

Regular, please. I sugar replacement in diet sodas does not agree with my system.
-
Gum vibes for DR LAURA.
\\Ditto!

Friday morning greetings! Richard's at the clergy meeting this morning and I'm puttering at our hotel. We'll be outta here by noon to head west. Tonight we'll be in either Beckley or Charleston, WV, depending on our driving stamina. We rarely travel without confirmed lodging reservations, so we're kinda livin' on the edge here...
That is when cell phones come handy.
Except when you're traveling through a mountainous national forest!
Anyway, after several dropped calls I was able to make a reservation and we're now settled in for the night just south of Charleston, WV.
-
Sorry so many here are ailing in one way or another. Vibes for BK and DRs Ron and Laura!

SAFE AND EASY TRAVELS TOMORROW!
-
And now, I'm off. First, I'm going to my parents' for our weekly family dinner, then I'm going to the movies with my friend Margo. I don't remember what we're going to see, but it'll be a movie that won't start until probably after 10 pm. :)
Be back later...much later.

From DR George:
I'm watching the first episode of the new TV version of "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" on BBC America and it's set in Seattle. That's pretty cool.
You neglected to mention that the show is very strange :-\ ;D
-
Thanks, DRs Jane and George! I'm looking forward to being home.
-
Especially after the evening at the country club ;)
-
I'm watching for the first time Crazy Ex Girlfriend, since I have two friends in it, Donna Lynne Champlin and Santino Fontana. It's very bizarre and very funny. Santino did an Irish song, "When I'm drunk I pee my pants" and Donna Lynne sang something about luck changing while looking like a fairy tale princess.
-
We might watch an episode of COUNT ARTHUR STRONG.
I am not sure what else we have to watch.
-
I was wrong. We watched ELEMENTARY, THE GOOD PLACE, MODERN FAMILY (Halloween episode) and BURNS AND ALLEN.
-
Four!
-
Page four? Really?
-
Really.
-
Back from a very nice Halloween party.
-
Good to see old friends and just relax over very good food and wine.
-
Had a great chili over green chile cornbread.
-
And tried some new wines. The one Texas wine I tried was an oddity. It wasn't bad, but its taste was that of orange blossom water.
-
It was better than the wine from Arizona.
-
After that, I stuck to a couple of wines from California and a couple from France.
-
But I limited myself to tastes. I ended up drinking much more water than anything.
-
Gratuitous Post No. 101.
-
My cherry-o-cream pie was pretty good.
-
Not great. If I make them again, I will double the cherries and halve the amount of Eagle Brand (it calls for two cans). I'll also up the unsweetened whipped cream.
-
I like whipped cream.
-
A little too much.
-
One of the more fascinating aspects of the evening was that someone had brought a Polaroid camera.
-
I hadn't seen one in ages.
-
The prints were half the size that they used to be.
-
Feel-better vibes for Ron.
-
I have started my packing. It hasn't been too hard.
-
I'm taking too many books.
-
I wish I liked a Kindle or Nook.
-
I may unpack one.
-
Hello, 0 guests!
-
What's the one thing you always forget to pack?
-
Cranberries!
-
Underpants!
-
Listening to Unsung Sherman Brothers. Loving "The Rhythm of the Road."
-
Was this before or after Sammy Davis Jr. did "Rhythm of Life" in "Sweet Charity"?
-
Five!
-
It's past my bedtime.
-
Good night, all.
-
Good evening!
-
Good night, John.
-
Home at last.
-
Continued travel vibes for DR Ginny and DR Chas.
<Not together>
-
Health vibes to DR Ron.
-
Gum vibes for DR Laura.
-
Feel better vibes for BK!
-
Packing vibes and pre-travel vibes for DR John.
-
Today I was a very bad boy!
-
First I met my former co-worker for a very nice lunch at Red Lobster.
-
We met at 11:30 and I had an appointment at my auto dealer at 3:00 p.m. to finally get the trunk seal replaced before the rains arrive next week.
-
I figured lunch would be done by 1:30 so I would be able to stop at home and give Nicky his dinner and close the sliding door which I had left open for Nick.
-
Well lunch lasted until 2:30, so I didn't have time to go home first.
-
They told me at the dealer that it would be an hour to an hour and a half to do the work.
-
Well, what do you do for 90 minutes at a car dealer but look at new cars.
-
I wish I liked a Kindle or Nook.
They do take up less space when packing. I like my Samsung Galaxy tablet.
-
Three hours later I was the owner of a new car.
-
Wine from Arizona & Texas seems odd.
-
Packing vibes and pre-travel vibes for DR John.
DITTO!
-
DR TCB I apologize for interrupting the story of your new car.
-
What did you get and is it easier for your wheelchair?
-
I bought myself a 2016 Hyundai Elantra GT (which has a hatchback)
-
Hopefully it will be easier to load the scooter.
-
The hatchback will give a little more shelter when loading and unloading the scooter.
-
VIBES IT IS!!!!
-
May you be very happy with your new car.
-
The hatchback will give a little more shelter when loading and unloading the scooter.
Then you can use the scooter when it rains?
-
But this car is loaded with all the bells and whistles.
-
SIX!
-
Bells and whistles are nice.
-
The hatchback will give a little more shelter when loading and unloading the scooter.
Then you can use the scooter when it rains?
Hopefully, except in typhoons.
-
What color is it?
-
I hope you stay in side during typhoons.
-
Did you have your scooter with you today?
-
It is real pretty. Metallic red. I will try to get a photo this weekend.
-
I am thinking not since you aren't sure it will be easier.
-
I saw a pretty metallic red at the VW dealership on Tuesday.
-
I wonder if it is similar.
-
Hmmm, I see you reached your milestone. I shall not tempt you to post again until DR George saves proof of it ;(
-
I am going to read and then fall asleep.
'night
-
So tired. Did a two-and-a-half mile jog, bought Halloween candy and some supplies for she of the Evil Eye, watched most of a motion picture and listened to music. Visit with Mr. Sherman was delightful and is described in the notes that will be posted very shortly.
