Okay, I think I know what happened.

I’m that first known survivor who just woke up to find the human race wiped out from causes as yet unknown.

Better start boarding up the windows. You never know what might be out there. Then I can go out looking for supplies.

DR JANE I had a drip of some kind, I will have to wait until I get my Medicare papers to see what it was.....it wasn't quite the conscious sedation that I love.....I was awake....and talking....and hearing everyone talk to me and each other....and I did feel the cutting and the stitching....they would ask me if it hurt....and I said "a little"....I can't say it was as painful as DR JOHN G's must have been, but it wasn't a trip to OZ either....

No, Jane, you are safe.  You have until election day to have your ballot postmarked.  Lately, I have found myself getting really lazy about returning my ballot.  The last several elections I have ended up dropping it in the box on election day.  I think this election is really important.  I want my ballot to be included in the count  on election night, rather than three of four days later.  So, I made a deal with myself that I would get my ballot in within a week of when I received it.  Actually, that is Friday, not today, but I want my ballot to really count.

Thanks.  If you find out please let me know.  I once had conscious sedation, still felt a lot of pain and then threw up afterwards.  I think because it was Demeral, which I didn't know at the time, and it makes me sick.

We're also going to have a little conversation with our co-producer this evening - this theater always assigns a producer to each show and this one hasn't done it before AND he's in the show, which is where I need his concentration.  He seems not to have a clew what we expect of him as co-producer and thinks his only job is to keep the actors happy, which, of course, is not his job at all and he'd best start to understand that.  I think it's one of the reasons we've had this latest drama, because he's trying to keep the actors happy.  His allegiance is to the show, me, and Doug - period.

Just a quick pop-in to say that over the past few days, as I've been able to grab a decent little chunk of alone time here and there, I've been listening to the Porgy and Bess CD. It's thrilling. I'm one who had never known about this recording, and I can't get over the quality and energy of the performance.

My nephew loves the stuff so much that my mother has made it for him for years now. Thankfully, this happened after I moved out of the house. I dislike the stuff.

I've started an enjoyable novel called A Man Called Ove. Very dry wit. It's about a curmudgeon who warms up to what life has to offer.

Watching Coppola's He's a Big Boy Now, which I've never seen. It's got some weird stuff in it with some funny performances from Tip Torn and Geraldine Page, Julie Harris and Karen Black.

This was interesting.   I didn't realize the original recipe was different.  I wish it had been included in the story.

We worked at the Bruin Theater in Westwood when "You're a Big Boy" played there.  That was a fun film to usher over and over again.

Tony Bill went to the theater one night and I sold him popcorn.   The other girl working the candy counter and I didn't recognize him because he was twice as cute in person and we were too distracted drooling over him ;D

Back from our run-through and then working some stuff.  I gave lots of specific notes tonight - first time for that.  The major problem from last night is, for the time being, worked out.

Went to Gelson's for a snack - attempted to use my PayPal debit card - declined - twice.  Came home and went to PayPal site - plenty of money in there as I knew there was.  Attempted to call - no one home.  They're not gonna be happy with my call in the morning, that much I can tell you.

Wow, not only starring Redford and Newman, THE STING even had a super-handsome producer!

I didn't realize he had directed MY BODYGUARD.  One of those movies that you knew where it would go from the concept, but still very entertaining.

Back in 1968 I worked in a beer bar in Hollywood that a piano player and a banjo player that music from the 20's, 30's and 40's.  Tony Bill came in one night to listen to the music.  He brought a girl with him who sat on the edge of the stage and sang along.  It was Liza Minelli.

My Bodyguard is one of my sister's all-time favorite movies.  She just loves it. :)

The blood that I made was a little too brown, so after the drop-off, I bought some more food color (that stuff is expensive...even at Walmart!) and different laundry detergent. 
Title: Re: CRAZY WACKY WACKY CRAZY

What I had used before was much too blue, so it affected the red.

This second batch is better, but still not quite right.

I'll use much less chocolate syrup and more food color. :)
Title: Re: CRAZY WACKY WACKY CRAZY
Post by: George on October 24, 2018, 11:37:23 PM
Really!  The recipe that I used calls for chocolate syrup, laundry detergent and food coloring...simple but (hopefully) effective.
Title: Re: CRAZY WACKY WACKY CRAZY
Post by: George on October 24, 2018, 11:38:21 PM
I think if I mix what I made tonight with what I dropped off and add more red food coloring and more clear detergent, I can get a good deep red (but not too brown) color.

I decided the egg salad club sandwich (made with bacon) would be good.  Instead, it was nasty.

Apparently Irish cooks, or at least this Irish cook, uses some strange (and nasty) ingredient.  I couldn’t eat it.  I ate a half of a half and my tater tots.

That's a popular option, but with the detergent recipe, it's easier to clean up.

I have no idea where to look for replacement bulbs, unless I order it from the company that sold me the lamp.

Can you bring the dead bulb to the store and match it up?  Lowe's or Home Depot have lighting sections with a LOT more choices and more knowledgeable employees than a regular store.  Is there one near you?

And the place where I bought the lamp, no longer sells that lamp, or the replacement bulbs.
