Last night I watched PAWN SACRIFICE with Tobey McGuire starring as Bobby Fischer.....I think MR BK has written about this movie.

Christmas Eve is the annual holiday hooch exchange with a French dinner before we get to the booze.
Christmas Day will bring dinner with friends. Lamb or beef will be on the menu. I’ve been instructed to bring wine and a dessert. I’m leaning toward cheeses since one doesn’t have a sweet tooth.

Annabelle wants to bird watch, Thatch wants to play, and their interaction of him trying to grab her tail and her refusing to leave the window is really funny.

We had a beautiful bird of a blue-ish gray coloring show up about 10 minutes ago.  It was a nice change from all the greedy fat pigeons driving away the sparrows and other birds.

The day started off with a bang here as well.

First, we get a highly irritating inch of snow during the night, which was just plowed as well as it can be but we're hoping the bright sun will help to burn off the rest.

I also found out our ailing bassist, for whom we already wrangled a couple of subs for this weekend, is ailing a little more and a little differently than originally thought.  What was diagnosed as bronchitis last week turns out to be congestive heart failure!  He's in the hospital and they've got it under control, but he's out for the remainder of the run.  So we're still hustling for bass players.

Next...

Wait, there isn't a NEXT yet.  And I hope there won't be.  That much is already irritating enough.

I had to take trash to the basement, so I thought I'd take Annabelle with me since she clearly has an urge to see the rest of the building.  As soon as she was outside the apartment, she ran to the fourth floor so I had to take the elevator up to find her.  Then, she got into the elevator and we rode to the basement.  once down there, I went to the recycle bins and she started crying loudly.  While I was throwing things into bins in the laundry room, I could hear her in the hallway crying.

So, I opened the elevator and instead of coming in with me, she walked into the interior of the elevator door and I panicked.  I had visions of a crew coming in to take the door apart to rescue her, the doors closing and crushing her, and all I could do was stand there holding the door open and calling for her.  As soon as she walked out, I scooped her up and brought her home.  This is one experiment we will not repeat.

It is a lot of work to tame a feral kitten. You have to get them when they are very young and devote all your time to them. These are too old. They will live out their lives in the yard, hopefully.

Good to hear.  I'm actually up for that one of these days.  Do you know if he got a "mesh" or did they repair it the old fashioned way?  I've been told the guy who's really great with that around here believes in doing the latter whenever possible.
Title: Re: NID
Post by: ChasSmith on December 14, 2017, 08:16:38 AM
And yes, I remember they said they would change to new Medicare numbers.  I cannot believe that foolishness took them this many years to address.  The moment I got my first Medicare card I was stunned to see that, and I surgically cut out part of the number.  When my doctor's office saw that, they said, "hey, you're smart".

The FAA used to use everyone's SS number, too.  Your pilot license number was your SS # without hyphens.  But back when I got that (late 1970s), no one was concerned about such a thing.

You'd think Annabelle's basement adventure would have curbed her curiosity, but no way.  I took the dirty litter to the garbage chute and as soon as I opened the door to return to the apartment, she darted out and ran for the stairs.  Instead of going up this time, she went down, so I ran for the elevator and rode to two.  No sign of her.  I rode to the first floor.  No sign, but I could hear her loudly crying down the stairwell.  I got back on the elevator and rode to the third floor.  There she was, waiting for the elevator.

I haven't had breakfast yet between these two critters and their meds, and I'm thinking of skipping the food and going right for the booze.

Kittens in December will be adopted, Elmore. Many years ago I had a little orange kitten that I found in my yard. I talked the foster coordinator at a shelter to accept her in the adoption program. I took her in on Christmas Eve and checked back later in the day. She had been adopted 15 minutes after they opened.

You'd think Annabelle's basement adventure would have curbed her curiosity, but no way.  I took the dirty litter to the garbage chute and as soon as I opened the door to return to the apartment, she darted out and ran for the stairs.  Instead of going up this time, she went down, so I ran for the elevator and rode to two.  No sign of her.  I rode to the first floor.  No sign, but I could hear her loudly crying down the stairwell.  I got back on the elevator and rode to the third floor.  There she was, waiting for the elevator.

I haven't had breakfast yet between these two critters and their meds, and I'm thinking of skipping the food and going right for the booze.

You do whatcha gotta do!

One of the Brooklyn cat rescuers is offering Christmas kittens.  I've promised several friends I will adopt no more, but I find it difficult to not want another!

And net neutrality is dead.  One more nail in the coffin of the Republican party.  All I can hope for is that their lousy tax plan goes down in flames just as the supporters of the bill will go down in the next election.

I hope all the Trump voters are happy.

They probably are.  It's a "win."  That's ALL they seem to care about. :P

Just returned from a birthday lunch with BK. We both ate fish and chips and some "homemade" (at the restaurant)  biscuits. I introduced him to one of the owners and she was very talkative. We told her about LEVI!. I think she'd enjoy the show; she's an immigrant herself.

The day started off with a bang here as well.

First, we get a highly irritating inch of snow during the night, which was just plowed as well as it can be but we're hoping the bright sun will help to burn off the rest.

I also found out our ailing bassist, for whom we already wrangled a couple of subs for this weekend, is ailing a little more and a little differently than originally thought.  What was diagnosed as bronchitis last week turns out to be congestive heart failure!  He's in the hospital and they've got it under control, but he's out for the remainder of the run.  So we're still hustling for bass players.

Next...

Wait, there isn't a NEXT yet.  And I hope there won't be.  That much is already irritating enough.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Vibes for a successful Bass search!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DR Elmore must have the magic touch when it comes to vibes today.  Not only was the search successful, I got my number one guy -- the very player I always ask first, except this time I came in after that had already been done.  He wouldn't have been able to play every show up till now, but he can do every one of the remaining ones starting with Sunday's.  Thank you, sir!  :)

Could we all have some winning lottery numbers next, please??   :D

Well, DR ChasSmith, I'm glad my vines worked for you.  I wish they'd clear up Thatch's conjunctivitis.  O just took him into the bathroom to wash out his eyes.  He lay in my arms, purred, seemed very content to let me do the wash, enjoyed the petting, my playing with his paws, stroking his head and rubbing his belly.  His rail wrapped around my arm, which is a sign of affection.

Then I gave him a syringe full of bitter medicine and put salve in his eyes.  He's run away in terror and Annabelle is his safe place.  I hope, when thus health crisis passes, that he will not fear me.  The little baby wants affection and love.

Then I decided to be bold and I did the update to whatever the latest operating system is - it took about forty-five minutes but was very simple, save for forgetting to remind myself what my Cloud password is - it could only have been one of four things and thing three did the trick and I'm back up and running, save for Mac Mail doing a slow update.  But the reason I really did this was because apparently the last two updates have been really strong for the mail program.

Today at work, we had a cookie tray silent auction to benefit a local charity (I forget which).  People brought cookies for the auction and they were distributed among many different trays so that each person didn't have to make up his or her own tray.  I bid on one and got outbid. :P
Title: Re: NID
Post by: George on December 14, 2017, 07:19:25 PM
BUT the person who outbid me had also bid on a couple of other trays (just to make sure that everything got at least one bid...even though she bid on mine after me ::) ) and she won all three that she bid on! 
Title: Re: NID
Post by: George on December 14, 2017, 07:19:41 PM
She really didn't expect to win them all, so I offered to pay her what she paid for that one tray, and she said okay!  So, I'll pay her back tomorrow because I didn't have any cash or, of course, my checkbook with me.

I had seen this story without the happy news update.

Maybe Annabelle could get use to a harness with a leash  and go for walks with you.

She's not going outside.  She's an indoor cat and remaining one.
