Well, you've read the notes, the notes were designed, and now it is time for you to post until the designing cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: SOCKDOLAGER!
-
First post after BK.
-
And the word of the day is: SOCKDOLAGER!
I will stay away completely from the word of the day!
-
T.O.D.
I would have to say Ann-Margaret, because she is, after all, the KITTEN WITH A WHIP!
-
Topic of the Day: umm...I was never specifically a fan of sex kittens. ::)
-
I've used Amazon Prime Pantry before. I first discovered it a couple of years ago when the diet Pepsi recipe changed (they obviously did NOT learn from New Coke) and the only place that sold the original formula (when it was brought back when Pepsico finally realized the error of their ways) was Amazon Prime Pantry. It's now back in stores as the default diet Pepsi. :D
-
I also currently use Amazon Prime Pantry for a certain kind of cat food that my cat likes, Purina Friskies Extra Gravy Pate (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CWVYH2L/). :)
-
I agree with you,Tom. Ann-Margret was the first name that came to mind.
-
Well, it's back to work today, so I'm off to bed.
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning, all!
-
My biggest fear of the past two years has finally arrived: Thatch has discovered the joy of the toilet paper roll. What a mess.
-
This is ny City Center morning. I'm happy that Joshie is doing me a favor, so I will run down to the theater, take care of this, and head home. I know he has much on his plate to accomplish for Friday's orchestra reading.
-
DR George, I ran through all of the Fancy Feast flavors when Annabelle first arrived. She turned down all the seafood except for salmon, and so their dishes revolve around various sliced and grilled versions of beef, chicken, salmon, and sometimes turkey. When Annabelle had her dental surgery last year, they had to live on the Fancy Feast patés for two weeks, and that was the end of that! They won't go near it.
They get Fancy Feast twice a day and there are two flavors of dry Meow Mix always waiting for them during the day for a nosh.

T.O.D.
I never was a "sex kitten" fan.
Though back when I was a teenager, I really liked Ann Sheridan and Dorothy Malone.
That scene in BATTLE CRY (1955), where Malone puts on her bathing suit, was very "daring," at least for a healthy 14-year old boy.
-
Good morning, all.
-
TOD
Rita Hayworth
Then later, Tura Satana, Haji and Lori Williams, the three kittens in Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
-
Good morning, all.
-
I guess Ann-Margret qualifies as a major one in my youth -- largely thanks to Birdie, but then I think of Elvis films, too.
In the realm of tamer sex kittens for kids of a certain age, how about Annette in the Beach Party films? I'm also thinking back earlier to Julie Adams in Creature.
-
John G. beat me to it with Faster, Pussycat!
-
John G. beat me to it with Faster, Pussycat!
Annabelle keeps adding that to my Netflix queue.
-
Ha!
As a kid I certainly knew about Monroe and Mansfield and all, but they weren’t the ones that would have resonated with me.
-
DR ELMORE perhaps the kitties need a tasting menu.
-
Congrats to MR BK on the getting the book designed....most excellent news.
Magic Castle....is that where Mark Wilson and Nani Darnell live?
-
SEX KITTENS!!!
My favorite is Carroll Baker - although she sort of went on to become a "serious" actress....or began as one.
Other favorites:
Ann-Margret, of course
Brigitte Bardot
Annette - mentioned previously although I would never have thought of her as one....but I guess she was
Mylene Demongeot - mostly in Bonjour Tristesse, but she was good in everything she did
Mamie Van Doren
-
An interview in french with Mylene....what a beauty.....

A few glimpses of Mylene in this Bonjour Tristesse compilation....

;D
-
I had no idea Schwans sold frozen cookie dough.
-
Annette - only in the MOST innocent sense! :)
-
Good morning!
-
I am home from City Center. My third of the 6 months property taxes has landed. I am not amused.
-
I can only imagine how angry and frustrated you are over this.
-
I'm up, I'm up - almost seven hours of sleep.
-
I would have to say Jayne Mansfield.
-
Does anyone remember GAY PURR-EE, with Judy Garland's voice?

-
I just made oatmeal cookie dough to bake later. Now I need to make a big salad for tonight.
-
My biggest fear of the past two years has finally arrived: Thatch has discovered the joy of the toilet paper roll. What a mess.
Yup. Just turn the roll around so that it goes down the back and out from under the bottom, and then Thatch can paw at it all he wants. I learned this the hard way...when I was at a friend's house and he had his toilet paper this way, and I thought that I'd be funny and turn it around so that it went down the front (like I have at my house), but then his cat started unrolling it while I was still there! :o SPOO!!

Yup. It's pretty darned good. :)

Tuesday afternoon greetings! I had my semi-annual dental check-up today, my first appointment with a new hygienist. We'd gone to Sharon for 30+ years and she retired in December. Come to find out, Kathryn (the new one) is a papercrafter, so we had a lot to talk about. No surprises, dentally, and I was outta there in time to get to the campus library to discuss John Grisham's The Reckoning.
-
I discovered while eating lunch that a deadline I thought was next week is actually tomorrow. So I quickly put together the paperwork and took it to the Middletown post office (what a zoo) for overnight mailing. We made a public library stop and are in for the night. It's supposed to snow tonight, but be up in the 40s by the time we get up in the morning.
-
DEADLINE USA......don't you hate that DR GINNY?
-
DR CHAS SMITH as Miss Annette Funicello wrote in her autobiography, she was often chided at night clubs when folks saw her smoking (her brand was Larks)..
"Why, Annette, I didn't think you were a smoker!"
"I also have three children, guess what else I do!"
-
I thought Jayne Mansfield was great....but I like my sex kittens with a bit more innocence than Miss Mansfield....who could be hilarious!
-

There wasn't much innocence even then.
For a school show, the music director was asked "Baby I'm the bottom, you're the top is suggestive, isn't it?" when people were wondering how to play the line. The music director. who was a few years younger than the youngest cast member, said "It doesn't suggest anything, it just says it."

The single entendre.

Um, page TWO? REALLY?
-
I went to Staples about twenty minutes after I got up and they thankfully weren't busy and made me the book copy while I waited.
-
I then came home and began proofing - I did about twenty-six pages' worth of actually reading the book, but after that I just went page to page looking specifically for bad breaks, em dashes, and that kind of thing. That took about three hours and I found about thirty things, noted them in red and then began looking through again. I caught a couple of formatting things that Grant hadn't fixed, but mostly it was em dash, bad breaks, and spacing issues. The least amount of fixes we've ever had.
-
He came over at four and we entered all the fixes, and he fixed the formatting issues. So, tomorrow he starts on the cover, spine, and back cover. The cover is already designed by Doug Haverty so it's just technical stuff.
-
Then his ever-lovin' Lydia came and off we all went to Barone's for dinner.
-
I had the carbonara, which was great, a salad, and a couple of pieces of garlic bread. Thankfully, I hadn't eaten all day.
-
Then we came here and now I'm in the home environment all cozy and warm, listening to music.
-
In a little while I'll watch a motion picture on Blu-ray.
-
Oh, and I picked up some packages, too.
-
Get me off this damn page.
-
Apparently all dear readers are SOOOOOOO busy.
-
What am I, doing a monologue?
-
I gotta tell you.
-
Page THREE? REALLY?
-
Apparently all dear readers are SOOOOOOO busy.
I've been at my job...jobbing. It's been pretty busy today, so now I get to leave and go home.
-
I got another tax form today in the mail. How late is that?
-
I'm not happy with my tax return this year.
-
It's probably half of what I got back last year.
-
I'm exhausted and likely to hit the hay soon.
-
But I started watching Mikey and Nicky, and it's super good, so I just want to continue watching it.
-
John Cassavettes is magnetic and Peter Falk is Peter Falk. It doesn't get much better than that.
They may not be likable characters, but the movie's really fascinating.
-
Good night, all.

We had a fun evening with our friend who is with us for 2 nights.
-
During dinner I knocked over my wine glass and broke it. I think it was the metal plate in my arm that broke the glass stem even before it hit the tabel. Darn, it is a good wine glass. I usecd to have a place to replace the glasses. I dont remember what they are anymore.

That's too bad, Jane.
-
Good evening.
-
I was at the church all day. A couple of events to host, plus waiting on a few repairmen, one of whom never showed up.
-
Well, this is pretty cool.
-
I'm watching an older episode of Antiques Roadshow.
-
It's from just last year, so it's not that old.
-
Anyway, someone brought in a prop from the original The Parent Trap.
-
His mother wanted to make the birdcage that Sharon made at camp.
-
So she wrote to the Disney company asking if there were blueptrints or something like that so that she could make her own.
-
Well, they didn't sent her any blueprints, or even drawings of the birdcage.
-
They sent her the actual birdcage prop that was used in the movie!
-
They also sent a letter describing the prop, so the owner has definite provenance!
-
It was valued between $5,000 and $8,000!
-
:o
-
Who knew??
-
The segment is on PBS's website here:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow/season/22/st-louis-mo/appraisals/1961-the-parent-trap-birdcage-prop-letter--201703T21/ (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow/season/22/st-louis-mo/appraisals/1961-the-parent-trap-birdcage-prop-letter--201703T21/)
-
And the PBS site has a link to the scene in the movie:
The "Parent Trap" Birdcage Scene (http://www.tcm.com/mediaroom/video/211153/Parent-Trap-The-Movie-Clip-Welcome-Home-Sharon-.html). :D

-
The letter from the Disney props department was dated November 8, 1961.
-
Good evening.
-
What the Hell??
-
Barely Page 4?
-
Where was everyone today?
-
Was the site down at some point?
-
That's because you haven't graced us with your presence earlier.
-
George and Jan, I am not sure we can save this.
-
Course I have no room to talk. I haven't chimed in either.
-
Sunday afternoon, I found a note on my door from Mangement.
-
The apartments would be inspected on Tuesday.
-
Inspected for what?
-
So, I got up, got showered, and straightened up the kitchen and the bedroom.
-
Inspected for what?
Yearly inspection.
-
Do they think you've wrecked the place, have bugs or rodents, want to upgrade stuff?
-
I know how wild you "confirmed bachelors" can be. lol
-
How's Washington weather-wise. Are you freezing, washing away, what?
-
Do they think you've wrecked the place, have bugs or rodents, want to upgrade stuff?
Maybe growing pot.
-
How's Washington weather-wise. Are you freezing, washing away, what?
It was quite comfortable here in Tumwater today.
-
How's Washington weather-wise. Are you freezing, washing away, what?
Possible snow this weekend.
-
Not warm, but definitely not really cold...at least, not yet.
-
And are you? Growing pot, that is. and do you share?
-
Maybe even a snow flurry in the morning.
-
And are you? Growing pot, that is. and do you share?
No, I buy mine at the legal pot shop up the street.
-
I've lived in L.A. all my life. What exactly is a snow flurry?
-
A very small snow shower that doesn’t last very long.
-
Cool or I guess cold?
-
Or the latest Slurpie flavor at 7-11.
-
Is legal pot pricey?
-
Page 5
-
Page 5?
-
Really?
-
Hey, we got to page 5!
-
Hey, we got to page 5!
A heck of a lot better than page three.
-
Amen, Brother Tom!
-
Did we lose George?
-
I’ll bet he is watching TV.
-
Is there anything good on this late?
-
I’ll bet he is watching TV.
I am. Andrew McCabe is the first guest on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
-
Sorry, who's Andrew McCabe?
-
Former Acting FBI Director.
-
I believe that is correct.
-
You can tell I'm really into politics. lol
-
I believe that is correct.
Yes, and he just wrote a book, The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1250207576/).
-
Is he for or against the orange devil?
-
Is he for or against the orange devil?
I think his subtitle answers that question. ;)
-
Simply put, he's not a fan.
-
Is anybody?
-
Is anybody?
Sadly, yes. ::)
