Well, you've read the notes, the notes had musical moments, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently having musical MOOments.
-
And the word of the day is: LAGNIAPPE!
-
First post after BK!
-
George, have you been watching STRANGER THINGS?
-
George, have you been watching STRANGER THINGS?
I haven't. I've seen commercials and a couple of spoofs, but not the actual show.
-
Have you?
-
I have watched the first two episodes from last season.
-
I will probably watch a couple more episodes tomorrow.
-
Then I will decide whether to keep watching.
-
I guess it's pretty popular.
-
So far, it plays like the first part of E.T., except instead of an ET, it is a nearly mute little girl with a buzz cut who seems to have super powers.
-
And in its best Stephen King rip-off, every time she uses her super powers, she gets a nose bleed.
-
I don't think I am really the target audience.
-
There are other storylines going on, as well.

Interesting. I've thought about checking it out, but I've got so many things recorded on my DVR that I need to watch before I even think about any new shows.
-
You probably have season 1 on demand.
-
I added (for free) The CW network to my Roku, so I got to watch the premiere episode of THE FLASH that I slept through the other night.
-
Oh, and thank you, George, for the package that arrived in the mail.
-
You probably have season 1 on demand.
It's on Netflix, which I do have, so I might take a moment to watch it.
-
Good night, George.
-
Good night, Tom.
-
Actualy, I need to go now, too. My tablet's battery is almost dead. :P
Have a good day, all!
-
And I am wide awake!
-
For the last hour, I have laid in the dark pretending I was tired. Nothing!
-
I am no closer to falling asleep than I was an hour ago.
-
My mind is racing along at 90 mph.
-
The east coast crowd should be waking up soon.
-
Good morning to all
-
Good morning!
-
Still on page one, really?
-
Where is page 2?
-
Oh, here it is!
-
Good morning, all.
-
Important show tonight, as Tom Jones will be there. And lots to do today.
-
TOD
Ack! Nothing! I will hopefully be back into watching and listening a little more normally next week.
-
Excellent Friday vibes to all!
-
Or should I say: Excellent Friday the 13th vibes to all!
-
Good morning, all!
-
I slept poorly. Again.
-
I loved all the cat photos. Of course, I can never stop looking at Annabelle. She does bewitch me, la belle dame sans merci.
-
This morning, I will go to City Center and visit Joshie. That will be fun and a good excuse to get out of the apartment for a while. We'll see how Annabelle carries on without me.
-
I just received my new Acorn catalog in the mail. I will go through it with Netflix and line up my BBC mystery viewing.
-
I hope there will be a check waiting in today's mail when I return from City Center.
-
T.O.D.
No idea.
-
I watched the first SEVEN minutes of the DYNASTY "reboot" aka "ripoff" on the CW on Wednesday night.....I don't have to watch anymore of it.....
-
Continued LEVI vibes for MR BK & Co.
I hate people who think they are doing you a favor by being in your show....ugh.....
-
Today is Friday, October 13!!! Have fun.
-
Thank you DR TCB.

Jrand, or other JEOPARDY watches: if you have NYTimes access, you might find this article on JEOPARDY's Austin Rogers interesting. (Wide-ranging variety of reader comments under the article about Austin, including my obligatory parody lyric to tune of the Final Jeopardy theme)

More pain-free vibes to Jane!

When we remodled our Ashland home we added heated floors to our bathroom and the guest bathroom. Craig's cat loved that heated floor.
I also loved the heated floor in our bathroom, I just didn't spend hours sleeping on it.
-
DR FJL, thank you.

Good morning, all.

I didn’t know of heated floors until I went to Ireland in February and the B&B we stayed at had slate floors in the bathroom. The heat was a blessing on a cold morning with no slippers.

Vibes for ChasSmith and company tonight.

Levi vibes for BK and company.

It’s time to plan our year-end team outing. The choices were not exactly universal. Two involved a trip to a bowling alley (one with laser tag). The other was a trip to a Brazilian steakhouse.
I can’t do either bowling event. The near vegetarians in the group don’t care for the steakhouse idea.

It really is and I miss them in the winter.

I just received a telephone call from Sheila at American Senior Choices who wanted to talk to me about my Medicare Supplement Plan.....I told her I didn't have any account with that company....what did she want? She went on and on and I kept saying I don't know what you're talking about. She said "DO you have Medicare?" I said yes, and the government takes care of that not you.
I kept raising my voice and asking her WHAT DO YOU WANT???? She finally said if you stop being angry, sir, I'll tell you...I have to confirm....I said WHAT DO YOU WANT??? She laughed and said "If you let me tell you...." and started laughing....I said "Don't laugh at me, B*&^%, and go get a real job..." Then she hung up. I think the rules are they don't have to listen to abusive language and can then hang up.
HA!
-
Such a lovely day....until the phone rang.

Good link DR FJL....I couldn't find the comments.....
Doesn't make me like him any better.....sad we will have to suffer with him during the Tournament of Champions in a couple of weeks....UGH.

I'm up, I'm up - about seven and a half hours of sleep.

86%!

Wow, we made the LA Times. http://www.latimes.com/socal/daily-pilot/news/tn-wknd-et-richard-sherman-20171012-story.html

The house seems in order, so Annabelle behaved herself while I was out, thank God. On the negative side, no check. God dammit. Sometimes freelancing really sucks.

On a happy note (for me, at least), I forgot that today was payday and was pleasantly surprised when I got the paystub in my work e-mail! :D

That's funny, Fred!

I also loved the heated floor in our bathroom, I just didn't spend hours sleeping on it.
The house that my sister just moved out of had heated floors everywhere, even on the second floor. She misses that more than just about anything.

I don’t think Sheila’s that bright.

That is a very nice story. Have to listen to Tell Him Anything now.

DVD / Streaming: THE STAND
STRANGER THINGS
-
Friday afternoon greetings! I slept late and then had to hustle out of here to meet Rebecca at the Miami University campus in Hamilton (where she worked for 30 years) for a noon book discussion of Hidden Figures. We then went to Starbucks for lunch and a long visit.
-
Before I started home I checked my email and learned that the Hidden Figures DVD that I'd reserved was ready for pick-up. Now, Richard and I have a movie for a Friday pizza/movie night!
-
Back from a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich and a tiny side salad. No fries, no onion rings.
-
Will shortly be on my way to visit Grant briefly.
-
Picked up one tiny package.
-
I like the picture of the audience....everyone is paying attention and no one is on the phone.....
-
Today in 1903 Babes In Toyland opened on Broadway after a 3-month run in Chicago and stops in Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Washington, DC.
-
Annabelle has spent the afternoon sleeping on my pillow.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
I saw the podiatrist today and picked up my new orthotics. Really comfortable! Then I lunched at a very good vegan restaurant, but I didn't think their wet burrito was as good as their veggie burger.

I tried to convince Keith we need to replace the floor in our bathroom. I didn't succeed. Of course if we replace the floor we would have to replace the entire bathroom ;D

Cute photo yesterday of DR George and DK Neve.
-
And lovely photos of Annabelle and DR Laura's backyard cats.
-
Health and healing vibes to Jrand, Jane, and John G.
Healthy vibes to all, in fact.
-
TOD:
Not sure. I've been watching a lot of BALLYKISSANGEL lately.
-
TTFN.

Glad to hear the orthotics work so well!

I enjoyed your lyrics, Fred. I also enjoyed the talking pickle.

Thanks. I'd always heard about people spending hundreds of dollars on them, then never wearing them. Not me. Yes, I have to spend hundreds of dollars, as my insurance won't cover them, but they really help my feet feel more comfortable.
-
Jane, I'm glad you had good news from the orthopedist. You'll probably feel better just knowing you're not in need of another shoulder surgery.
-
And now I'm off!
-
Cute photo yesterday of DR George and DK Neve.
Thanks, Jeanne!

Thanks to George and Jeanne!

SPOILER to people who DVR Jeopardy...
The lady who unseated Austin did terribly on the show that aired this evening. She had the luck of what the categories were on the show that aired Thursday, i guess!
-
Thanks DR JEANNE! Vibes for you as well!
Yes DR FJL she was up against a couple of good competitors today - and I think they have some new category writers....they have been very interesting since the beginning of the new season.
-
Saturday check vibes for DR ELMORE.
-
Jrand, exactly - not one phone out - we were VERY impressed.
-
Met with Grant and then he was hungry so we went to the Hamlet and he had a meal and I had custard.
-
Page four? Really?
-
Have another potential project that will depend on how much we can improve the sound over a previous hideous-sounding release, and if we can we'd have a significant extra as well.
-
Home finally. Time for another episode of the Durrells
-
Thank you DR Jeanne.
-
And maybe a glass of wine.
-

Excellent news, Jeanne.

Jane, I'm glad you had good news from the orthopedist. You'll probably feel better just knowing you're not in need of another shoulder surgery.
Keith & I are both very relieved. We also realize at some point it may need replacing. The surgeon said that will not be easy on me if it happens.
I am trying to be good and not do anything that causes extra pain so my, whatever this is, can heal.
-

Mmmm...custard. ;D

It does sound good.

Well, I'm leaving work and going home...just for a couple of hours, though. My friend Margo asked if I wanted to join her and her daughter to see "Blade Runner 2049 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1856101/reference)" in IMAX (but not 3D), and I said, "Sure!" So, we're going to the 10:10 pm showing. It has an 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Be back later!

We've just finished watching Hidden Figures.
-
I am in awe of their intelligence, determination and drive
And appalled by the conditions under which they had to work

Vixmom, I haven't seen the movie, but have you read the book? I enjoyed it, but it was a history of a whole bunch of women over many years, not just three women.
-
Well...
-
...since we're so close, it's time for a...
-
PAGE FIVE PICTURE-OF-NEVE-IN-THE-BACKYARD-AT-NIGHT DANCE!!
-
;D
-
Since I'm at home with nothing to do before going to the movie, I let Neve outback for a bit.
-
She's a cutie, George, by day or night.
-
She's a cutie, George, by day or night.
Thanks, John!
-
And now, I'm off to the movies! I only found out about an hour ago that it's 2 hours and 44 minutes long! :o
-
I hope I'm able to go to the bathroom before it starts. :-\
;)
-
Until later...much later!

I suggest doing a Google search of truth vs the film. I suspected much of whathe was fiction in order to help the story along.
-
She's a cutie, George, by day or night.
Yes she is. Thanks for the photo.
-
DR George how was the movie? At that length I may wait to watch it from the comfort of home.
-
Finished with my viewing.
-
Good evening.
-
Another day of streaming TV.
-
I watched a couple more episodes of STRANGER THINGS. I am enjoying it more and more.
-
Then I watched the colorized Sherlock Holmes film of DRESSED TO KILL. I always enjoy Basil Rathbone.
-
I also watched an episode of THE ORVILLE.
-
Tomorrow is the funeral of Tracy's brother.
-
I hope I feel well enough to go.
-
Nicky is now scheduled to see his doctor next Thursday.
-
I am not looking forward to that day.
-
He really hates his carrier.
-
He also hates riding in the car.
-
So it is a double good day.
-
The say we are supposed to have our first wind storm next Wednesday.
-
I guess I won't be seeing George here tonight.
-
I will, hopefully, be asleep before he returns from the movies.
-
It is going to get down into the 30's tonight.
-
The weather is certainly changing seasons quickly this year.
-
Perhaps we will have more snow this year.
