I've caught my coffee cup twice now, but the floor is littered with pencils and other things she's caught in her claws and dropped onto the floor. She reminds me of an amusement park machine picking up gaudy trinkets and dropping them into your hands.

Post by: elmore3003 on March 13, 2018, 04:44:15 AM: DR JohnG, I read the novel The Mudlark when I was in junior high school, and I remember seeing the film not long after that. I read the play Victoria Regina around the same time because Julie Harris had played Victoria in a Hallmark Hall of Fame adaptation of the play.

Speaking of the Mudlark, he sings "I Hear Bells," one of my favorite songs, in the Maltby-Shire musical Love Match.

I love that song! Years ago, I sang this in an on-going vocal workshop that I was taking and we performed around town every once in a while. The published songbook of Starting Here, Starting Now only had the solo line, so I transcribed the "bongs" so that a couple of friends of mine also in the workshop could sing those. We all had a lot of fun with it! :D

About a date Elaine Joyce had with J.D. Salinger, that they'd had a long-distance romance before that first (and maybe only??) in-person date. (when she was single, of course)

Interesting story. Knowing Salinger’s penchant for privacy, I found the couple’s behavior as bad as Salinger’s.

Post by: bk on March 13, 2018, 01:04:03 PM: On the phone with the publishers since I've been up. The book got "stuck" somewhere in their system and I've lost an entire week - I should have had the test books today at the latest, and it hasn't even gone to the printers. Had I not finally written all my folks there heaven knows how long it would have been "stuck." But I have everyone on this now, it should go to the printers tomorrow and then they will overnight me the test copies, and they will also give me free expedited shipping once I place my order.

I wish my pharmacy had told me yesterday when I phone in the refills that one needed to be ordered and would arrive tomorrow.
So, I must make a second trip tomorrow.

Dammit.

I just got off the phone with my pharmacy about a similar issue.

I have had that happen, and I have received calls before I made the trip. I have also picked up partial orders and been told when the remaining pills would arrive.

How many 4 legged babies do you have?

I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep - didn't get to bed until four.

I find it amazing you can sleep that long when you fell asleep that late. I would have been lucky to wake up at 8:00, and thrilled to make it to 8:30.
