I went to their website before I went out there and it said that it was in stock at that store. :P I had a 15%-off coupon, too.
Title: Re: DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?

At least, I can order it on-line and still use the 15% coupon, so that's good. :)

Well here’s a fine how-de-do.

In this Facebook group I selected “pin to shortcuts” and got the message (paraphrasing) “you have too many pinned, you can only have ten”.

I knew I had more than that. I counted. I have sixteen.
Title: Re: DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?
Post by: ChasSmith on September 01, 2018, 05:19:11 AM
So what’s a good way to bookmark frequently visited pages on FB when you have more than ten (or sixteen)? Create actual bookmarks in your browser? Or does anyone do this at all?

That’s a different issue. You get a notification as soon as the admins approve you. I had to wait half a day or so for mine. For now, search for “Trude Rittman Forever”.

Maybe you should ask for anyone else who knew her to say so.

Well, the family is getting together toay for our weekly get-together family dinner. It'll be at my sister's this time.  She wants me to bring some diet Pepsi and diet Dr. Pepper.  I actually have the Dr. Pepper, so I only need to get diet Pepsi.  She also wants me to come over early to put up the other two light fixtures on the front of her house. That's easy to do.  So, I'm off.

Back from banking.  One of the few times at my usual bank where there's been a ridiculously long line.  Twenty minutes wait, mostly due to people who don't have the ability to do simple banking.  My transaction took exactly one minute, start to finish.

One of the diabetes meds I’m on is said to be linked a flesh-eating bacteria in the genital region that’s 20% fatal. And they tell us this before everyone in the doctor’s office goes out on a three-day weekend. Jolly.

OMG!  Vibes you don't get that.

I hate people doing Halloween and Christmas things this early. But somehow I didn't mind when I saw the limited edition holiday peppermint ice cream in the market. And yes, I bought some.

Yum but I am fussy about the brand.  Which did you get.

Val stoped by this afternoon to say hello and visit the cats.  He looked great, and it was good to see him.  I think he's happy with his new job.  Annabelle really loves him, so she was really happy.

Ilulissat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and specifically, Jakobshavn Glacier, are so other worldly and unique ... place it on your bucket list! Really! A palate of white and blue, the Ilulissat Icefjord runs west 25 miles from the Greenland ice sheet to just south of town. At its eastern end lies the Jakobshavn Glacier, the most productive glacier in the Northern Hemisphere. The glacier flows at a rate of about 100 feet per day, producing more than 20 billion tons of icebergs annually—the most of any glacier outside Antarctica. Icebergs breaking from the glacier are often so large—up to 3300 feet in height—they fail to exit the fjord and lie stuck on the bottom of its shallower areas, sometimes for years, until they are broken up by the force of the glacier and icebergs further up the line.

The photos due an injustice to the beauty and enormity of Ilulissat and its extraordinary glacier. We did a small boat cruise around the icebergs and later walked to a fjord overlook. You. Just. Have. To. See. It. To. Believe. It!

That was Keith's description on fb.  The 2 hour boat ride around the iceberg, plus sightings of humpback whales was fantastic.

Fun stumble-through - great cast, interesting and great songs - the What If went over very well, I remembered all my lyrics, which is more than I can say for one of our performers, who's had a very busy month and to whom I gave the most difficult epic five-minute song.  Just not retaining it, so we made a change to a song they know and which, ironically, we've never done.

R.I.P. the brilliant Carole Shelley.

This was one of the tributes to her on All That Chat.  I assume this means the person "Nydiva" already knew her at the time of the 2003 blackout.

I knew Carole was very ill. The amount of operations and treatments she has had to endure over the last few years was harrowing. But she was a fighter to the end.

Carole was always a very private person, but now I think I can tell my favorite story about her.

It was during the East Coast blackout of 2003 that I found myself stranded in Manhattan with no way to get home. My company had just moved to the Wall Street area and I had nowhere to turn. So I walked up to her apartment (then on 56th Street). She took me in without hesitation, drew me a bath and fed me dinner. The next day, she ministered to the blood blisters on the soles of my feet. I remember sitting in her kitchen thinking "My favorite actress and a Tony Award winner - and she's cleaning my bleeding feet". She also gave me a blouse (which I've kept to this day) so I wouldn't have to go home in the drenched-with-sweat one I was wearing.

To say I will miss her doesn't begin to express my feelings.

Tonight, after my family's family dinner (we had vegan chili...it was very good!), I went to Barnes & Noble and with my e-mailed 15% discount coupon bought the new 10th anniversary, first time on vinyl release of the original Broadway cast recording of In the Heights (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/in-the-heights-lin-manuel-miranda/15281893?ean=0791558442816).

I also (finally) paid for the B&N membership, so I got an additional 10% off my record set!  Of course, I had to pay for the membership, but I'll save over the next year with my purchases, even from their deli.

I watched about an hour of a movie called Brick from 2005.  I watched it because the Netflix description made it almost sound like an Adriana Hofstetter thing but with a male.  Well, no, not quite, in fact not at all, in fact this is one of the most awful movies I've ever seen - incomprehensible, horribly directed and written and I frankly didn't understand a word anyone said.  And it got RAVES and the director wrote and directed The Last Jedi - which I thought was pretty bad.  But then you read up on this guy - from USC Film School.  And he made this movie because of his love for Dashiell Hammett novels - not because he discovered them on his own but because the Coen Brothers loved Dashiell.  Everything he says about the movie is derived from other movies - Chinatown, Leone - it's just pathetic.  But of course the critics back then loved it.  Pretentious, arty and appalling and a complete money loser.

It was vegan, but my sister also had real cheese and sour cream available...everyone added it.  No one is actually a vegan, but that's jyst the recipe that my sister has.
