Well, you've read the notes, the notes were fixed, and now it is time for the fixed cows to come home.
-
And the word of the day is: MADELEINE!
-
Welcome thirty-four GUESTS!

First post after BK!
-
I had a little nap and now I am reading.

Topic of the Day: the first one that I can think of is Bette Midler's final appearance with Johnny Carson (https://decider.com/2016/05/21/today-in-tv-history-johnny-carson-robin-williams-bette-midler/).
-
Well, I'm off to bed.
Have a good day, all!
-
Hello 12 guests. I expect you also can't sleep.

Good early morning to all

It’s at the top of my list, along with Mike Douglas interviewing Gwen Verdon and Chita Rivera when they were doing Chicago.
I semi to remember musical performances more than interviews, such as the cast of Bubbling Brown Sugar, again on Mike Douglas.
-
Another 2 hours of sleep.
-
Good morning, all!

I have a pinched nerve in my lower back, and I am going back to bed to lie on a heating pad.

The babies are fed, the birds are fed, and I am bathed.

Dealing with the merde vibes for MR BK.

I am driving to have lunch with some friends....so hopefully I will make it back. It is my longest solo drive there and back since this whole thing began....
-
TOD:
Many interviews on the Jack Paar Show which was on at 10 p.m. on Friday evenings - after he had left The Tonight Show.
Including:
Oscar Levant who quoted his first professional review: "In his debut last night, pianist Oscar Levant left his contemporaries and his conductor far behind."
Also interviews with Judy Garland, Dodie Goodman, Nichols & May, and Jonathan Winters....
-
T.O.D.
Anything with Don Rickles.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Yes, I went to ONCE, and it was a wonderful achievement for all concerned. Some of the music coming off the stage was beautiful to a remarkable degree. Glad I went.
-
I would love to have joined vixmom and FJL for the show tonight, but I have an obligation I simply can't get out of.
Have a wonderful time, you crazy kids!
-
I have pulled some clothes from the hamper to launder. There is no way I can take the whole load to the basement using the stairs, but I haven't done laundry since before the elevator installation began, and I need some clean essentials. I may not get to the laundry today with the pain in my back, but I'm hoping I can manage it tomorrow.
-
I'm happy to hear you enjoyed ONCE, DR ChasSmith.
-
Annabelle and Thatch have been particularly wound up this morning. Oy!
-
I am returning to my heating pad.
-
The Encores! special guest star was Joel Gray, who did make yesterday's closing performance. I'm happy he's feeling better.
-

Pinch nerve vibes for DR elmore.

Half an hour ago I declared this a Benadryl Day, for relief of some slight but annoying nose-running and eye-tearing. Just waiting for it to take effect. Second time within a couple of weeks, following a few months without.
-
Vic Damone has died.

Monday afternoon greetings! It's bright and sunny here today, but still pretty cold. I've been out for my semi-annual, no-surprises dental check-up and to have my car washed. Home now doing some computer work on behalf of AAUW and contemplating a nap before tonight's meeting.
-
I'm up, I'm up - maybe seven hours of sleep.

Vic Damone has died.

My walking partner and I went for a nice walk with a stop for coffee/hot chocolate and a leisurely visit.

Is it Friday yet?

And on a happier note: The Secret Garden musical revival coming to Broadway (http://ew.com/theater/2018/02/12/the-secret-garden-musical-revival-broadway/)!
If it's based on the production that I saw in Seattle last year, I'm sure that it'll be wonderful! I hope Daisy Eagan plays Martha again.
-
And an even happier note: the new DVD to the movie musical Hello Again (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079MNBW7D/) has arrived!

I hadn’t heard the movie was being released, just the soundtrack.

It hurts like hell, but I just climbed three flights carrying a 13-lb carton of dry cat food! I hope the climb helps my spine asgyst. Or kills me.
-
Amazon screwed up the listing, though. Under the Additional DVD options, there are listings from 2004 and earlier. Those and most of the reviews are for the Shelley Long movie of the same name, which has absolutely nothing to do with this movie musical, or the original musical. :P
-
I've never heard of the Frigid Festival, but i've been invited to my friend Marella Martin's production in March!

Ir's amazing how many nice comments the Encores! production is getting on FB today from outraged musical theatre queens who swore last May, when the season was announced, that they were canceling their Encores! subscriptions over the revue.
-
Sorry I've been E&T.
-
Are you saying Hello Again went directly to home video without any kind of theatrical run? Predictable and when will the idiots who are putting up money for this crap ever learn?
-
Entered hard copy proofer's stuff, and there are things to run by Muse Margaret so hopefully I can get all that done, go to my meeting, and then enter the rest of these.

I think I'd read that it did have a "limited run" a couple of months ago, probably just for official Oscar contention.

There's always hope. ;)

It's my understanding (and many friends have told me) that normally you don't have to tip if you call in an order and pick it up yourself. But to me, this situation is much different. The order was so large that it just screams for a tip!
-
That is the way I see it.
-
I have been doing a bit of research on the subject and most people believe tipping is not necessary. The amount recommended varies. DR elmore from my reading you are a very generous tipper.
-
People are more likely to tip if it is a place they frequent. I tipped at least 30% for my little order at Savona's today.
-
Hello!
-
The temperature has gone down quite a bit. The high for today was 61, I believe, but that was at midnight. It was in the 40's this afternoon.
-
Feel better, DR elmore!

Take Out: No obligation; 10% for extra service (curb delivery) or a large, complicated order

Hello, everyone.
-
I have no news.
-
I will, however, respond to Jane's question about tipping for take-out.
I always thought tipping applied to table service and therefore didn't tip for take-out. But several years ago I started frequenting a restaurant for take-out and they gave me such consistently good service--getting my order right, remembering my name and being friendly--that I felt tipping was in order. Especially since I know these people don't get paid much. I don't tip 15% for take-out, though. It varies as I use even amounts and tip in cash, even though I pay for my order with a credit card.

I've noticed that many people, especially young people, give a higher tip than the standard of years ago.

I am sitting at Pret Manger around the corner from 54 below waiting for the doors to open

I have a question: do you tip delivery people the same as you tip for table service?

Lucky you. Have a great time!

When I have pizza delivery the order is usually $21 and change and I give the guy $25
-

I dont...but I usually tip 30% for good table service, 20% for adequate...less for poor...

You are lucky to find a place like this, and that the staff has stayed consistent enough to remember you.

By poor I been server that drops the food and runs, didn't come back to check if its ok , doesnt check if you want refills etc

Thank you, especially since the Vixter worked in a restaurant.
-
I dint hold it afainst the server if the food isnt cooked to order or the order takes a long time coming *but is still hot ..
If its obviously been sitting around while she took a break then I have an issue
-
Of course if the order is completely wrong and they cop an attitude rather than apologizing and fixing it i have an issue
-
And what about a massage therapist? Some of them fall into the medical category and I always thought tipping wasn't appropriate. For generic, especially discount, massage, I tip, of course.
For hairdressers, the tipping guidelines have said that you don't need to tip the owner of the salon. But I always found that kind of silly. For one, you don't always know who the owner is. So I tip, period. NO ONE's ever declined my tips.
-

It's been years since I've had anything delivered. I've only ordered things to be picked up, so I don't remember what I used to do.

I worked for several years waitressing when i was youbger, Vuxdads mom owned a restaurant in England and he worked there doing everything from bussibg, serving to bartending so we both know the hardships..
We are generous tippers for an enthusiastic and attentive server... but there are this who act like they're doing you a favor and annoying them...we don't tolerate that nonsense
-
I have to say if that waitress thought she should get $75 for bringing that order to the curb i think she is out of her mind...especially since it was supposed to be a delivered order! Honestly if it was I picking it up I would have thrown her a $20 ..

Yup...that's not good customer service from what is supposed to be a service oriented server. ::)

Off to the show!!

I can't remember that far back. I think Michigan was the last place where we had food delivered. That is 3 homes back and 22 years.

What about when the not-too-swift server gives your meal to another customer? And you see it happen and can't really do anything about it? Then you have to wait while they prepare your order AGAIN. The manager came over and apologized, but with less-than-heartfelt words and a very meager offer. This was a couple months ago and I'm still annoyed. I haven't been back and it was one of my favorite restaurants.
I really don't think that some people realize how their flip attitudes can ruin a business. They CAN.
-

Same here for table service, more for places we regularly eat at.
-

You do know that it might be hot because the wait person forgot to put the order in ;)
I like when the server is honest about their mistake and apologizes.

I agree about the owner and after expenses they sometimes make less.
How much to tip is the question. I tip $5-$10, more at Christmas with the amount depending how long I have been going to the person.

$75 seemed a bit shocking.

That is annoying, especially if you are a regular there.

Speaking of restaurants, I think it's time for a little dinner.

Vibes to Fred and Skip and tonight's show!
-
TTFN.

Yesterday 3 of us ordered the healthy vegetable rice bowl. We have all had it there before but this time is was lacking in flavor. I thought it was just me or I would have asked for some teriyaki sauce or something.
I had half of my meal leftover of a not so big bowl. The waiter asked if I was done and was going to take it when my friend asked for a box. Half eaten and I was not asked if it was ok, or if I wanted to take it home.
I added extra food, and seasoning to my leftovers for dinner tonight. An improvement but still not exciting.

Until later.

Everyone but the NYT and a couple of other critics seems to have loved it.

How much do you tip a barista?
-
That video was too sad.....
-
Watching The Battle of the Sexes. Good performances, but I really don't like the movie. It's a little too coy. .
-
The ending of the movie was better than the beginning with Howard Cosell’s sexist, stentorian drivel lifted from the original broadcast. That blending of fact with the actors really worked well.
-
Good night, all.
-
Back from a fun dinner meeting - great food, great company.
-
All fixes have been entered and the book has been sent to Grant, who I'm hoping will just get it done.
-
That video was too sad.....
I didn't watch. I have seen the same story, or several like it :(
When our little cat Bacall was dying of cancer the other cats were very attentive to her. Her brother and our other male cat took turns lying next to her.

Skips show was really fun...I enjoyed every minute of it and so did everyone rise from the wonderful reception he received
-
The drive home was annoying however....they decided to do repair work on the bridge leading from Manhattan to LongIksand and right where 5 lanes are merging from the tunnel and the bridge they brought it down to 1 lane... It took an hour to go a single mile
-
Well the alarm goes off in 4 hours so good night all!!!
-
Good evening / morning.
-
Today was a beautiful sunny day.
-
It was great, unless you opened the door and went outside.
-
Then you froze your cheeks off.
-
It is supposed to be down in the twenties tonight.
-
It was VERY cold here today.
-
And then another sunny but cold day tomorrow.
-
Listening to music and happy I don't have to enter any more fixes. I did to the book's dedication page and will do the acknowledgments page tomorrow.
-
We even have a small chance of a little snow this coming weekend.
-
Nicky is sleeping in the hall in front of the heat register. He hasn’t noticed that I turned down the heat about an hour ago.
-
I think I need to get him one of those heated cat beds.

Hi, Tom.

George, when is the next show that you are in?
-
And what and where is it being done?
-
Then you froze your cheeks off.
Here, it was a little chilly when I went out to lunch today, but didn't freeze my cheecks or anything. Maybe, I just hit a warm part of the day.
-
Are any of our regulars watching the Olympics? It doesn’t seem like anyone has been talking about them.
-
I have been watching them and enjoying them.
-
Well, I am very tired.

Good night, George.

George, when is the next show that you are in?
Olympia Little Theater (http://olyft.org) is putting on Cinder Edna, and it'll go up at the end of May into the beginning of June.
