We had a suicide by cop on the interstate near Lacey on Saturday which closed all of I-5 southbound for most of the day. That is down near George's neck of the woods.
So, George, will you be going to the sing along on Tuesday night?
When we went to see GREASE, it was 50's night. You got in free if you were dressed in period clothes. I got in free - and I didn't even know it was 50's night!
DR CHAS SMITH last week I watched your friend Mother Dolores in FRANCIS OF ASSISI....I think she looked more beautiful in this movie than any other....although the film was kind of a dud....
Bradford Dillman....as Francis....I hope the real St. Francis wasn't such a pill......

My ostomy supplies were NOT delivered last week....and I was a bit nervous since I am running low on some needed items.
I emailed the company Saturday.
Yesterday, a man from down the street brought a BIG box to us. The supplies had been delivered to his house. I thanked him very much! He said he almost sent it back, but then decided it might be something we needed.
His house number is the same as ours....but I live on Fairlane and he lives on Devonwood......
We have a situation like that, DR Jrand66. My house number has a "twin" on a parallel road, and we occasionally get each other's mail or packages.

We had a "twin" in Ashland, same numbers with almost the same street name. We were country and they were town.
LOL DR ELMORE.....sad that some irony is lost on people....

We used to get Mr. Trent's mail. He lived one street north with the same house number.
One time a friend called to say she'd left the card table she'd borrowed from us in the breezeway. I said, "We don't have a breezeway." Mr. Trent did and that's where our card table was...
My building management has no sense of humor. The agent's reply to yesterday's email inquiry:
Is there an A J Clarke intern who can stop by 2-4 times a week, do my laundry, bring up packages, and carry garbage to the basement for me?
was this just now:
We do not provide services to do tenant's laundry and carry their garbage.
I just sent her this message:
I guess my sarcasm eludes you. If I have to hire someone to carry, tote, and launder, may I deduct it from my rent?

It obviously eluded me. Really, why not get someone to do these things for you-at least the carry and tote part.
DR FJL you are too funny and twisted for color tv.

As a follow-up, the thing that forever pissed me off about the move down the street was that, though the units were mostly identical, it was never quite as lovely as the first place. The building looked fine, while the landscaping and view from my side of the building were not as nice. But the worst thing of all (DR Jeanne can perhaps commiserate) was that the a/c unit in the second place was just awful. It barely performed in moderate temperatures, and in heat waves it didn't stand a chance at keeping up. Naturally, the one up the street had been perfect, the most efficient a/c unit I'd ever had. The management company would send a guy out to replace the filter, but that barely improved things. It was on its last legs and needed to go.

Discovering a new composer right now, new to me anyway - someone named Bruckner, have begun with the first of his nine symphonies - there's a bit of Mahler going on, so I'm enjoying so far - I think Mahler and folks like Bruckner were trying to break free from their 19th century shackles. I got a set on DG conducted by Eugen Jochum - everyone raves about this set and some rave about his later set on EMI - I have them both, so we shall see. But all the proper reviews I read said this is the one to start with if you're a Bruckner neophyte, which I surely am. The orchestral playing and sound on this set is amazing. These are all 1960s recordings.

Well, for one thing, I cannot afford it. Next question?
Yikes, such scary gun stories!!!
18 more days until I retire!

The FBI raid at my former employers was quite exciting. A hoard of BIG men with guns and FBI vests telling us to move away from our desks with our hands up and not allowing us to touch anything.
Our purses had to be searched before we were allowed to take them
Break a leg as you head into the home stretch, George!
These police stories are scary!

Yes!! I don't have any, I'm happy to say.
Thanks DR JANE and all other Dear Readers.....session number 10 continues today.....followed by blood work.
DR GEORGE I always try to furnish costumes and props, especially if I am playing a smaller role or I'm in the ensemble....of course not if the show is "period".....but the 50's and 60's I can handle.
Reading and NO COUGH vibes for MR BK.

Is that why you switched jobs?
What I still don't understand. To this day is why the officials ( who required the kickbacks as a condition to awarding the contract) and received the money for off Scott free , they were not even prosecuted they all retired with pensions and full benefits ... The guys who paid the money went to jail for 5 years and were disbarred

I didn't for several more years, the partners went to jail and 3 of the attorneys bought the firm from them.
That firm , due to poor management was losing money hand over fist which is why. I eventually left ..too many weeks where the pay checks were late

I have to take my watch in to be cleaned this week.
It's over fifty years old. It came from my father's jewelry store. Has his name on the face.
Watching A Catered Affair. I don't like it. Too many bitter people.

It's been a long time since I heard the musical's cast recording. I wonder how it compares.

Years ago, when I was bar tending, I had a biker go out to his bike to get his gun to blow me away; because I had cut his drunk friend off. I went back to the office and called 911 and they made me stay in the back until the cops were inside the bar. And yes, he did get his gun and was just waiting for me to come back out so he could kill me.
How did you spend your evening off?
At work tomorrow, we're having interviews for the collections manager, which is my supervisor. I'm on a sub-committee, so we won't be asking any really deep and important questions. We will get about 30-45 minutes with each of the four candidates. One of them is internal, and the current interim manager. We (the group that is supervised by that position) really like her and think she'd be GREAT at the position. She's very knowledgeable and more than competent.
