Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of Campbell's Chunky Vomit soup, and now it is time for you to post until the vomiting cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: REDEMPTION!
-
As to TCB's last post, I wish.
-
It has been a long time since I have had peanuts in a shell. I am now in the mood for some.
-
Since it is a new day, continued healing vibes for DR Jan.

Sleep well Jan.

BK, your soup paragraph in today’s notes was truly disgusting. At least, you can be assured, that I will never read today’s notes a second time.
-
You should have tasted the soup.

I must say that the Ormandy Carmina Burana is spectacularly good. I'm not sure I'd say the Jochum is better, but I have to hear that again.
-
It's bed time.
Have a good day, all!

Good morning

Good morning, all.

Ormandy somehow just hit that one out of the park.
Something I always found spectacularly thrilling about it is Harve Presnell.
I wouldn't say Jochum is better, either. I was just thrilled to find it's really good, to the point that it immediately gained entry into my Inner Circle of Carmina Buranas. I need to hear it again, too, just as I need to hear the Shaw one again ... for which I have a feeling that I could find the Telarc sound annoying now, but hey.
-
I must run out this morning and pick up my prescriptions from last week. I will throw the post office into the mix since I need to mail that RTÉ check back to Dublin with the forms for bank transfer payment. I had been feeling so sorry for myself for the past two weeks, as well as being unable to do much walking, that I completely forgot about it.
-
And thank you, all, for the continuous vibes and good wishes during my past miserable months.

I've always been partial to the Ormandy since it was first released, Maybe it was because it was the first recording of the piece I'd ever heard - in the 1960s, Carmina Burana, like "Glitter and Be Gay" - was not a well-known piece. By now both are almost clichés, done to death by the good, bad, and ugly.

Good morning.
-
I prefer to make my own soup, but my favorite canned soup is split pea with ham, ham and bean, and beef and barley.

TOD: We'll see what comes up on Spotify.

Being one's first always has a lot to do with it. And for a while, I didn't even try to find others to listen to. I just let that one drill into my brain and soul.

Usually I make cornbread muffins to go along with the soup for the church soup kitchen, but sometimes I make a few huge pots of soup. Huge! Sausage, rice and veggies, or chicken, rice and veggies. We use whatever came in on the truck that week.

Recovery vibes for DR jan.

Also, the baby learned to crawl a couple days ago.

DGA pension vibes for MR BK.

I have seen the soup in the notes on the shelf....and left it there.

Yes DR VIXMOM - that ANNIE.

I just realized something funny about that performance of the Morricone: it begins in the "Carmina Burana Key" of D minor. Oy! :)
A silly observation, but there it is.
EDIT: I'm no expert on how close this orchestration with the vocals and all is to Morricone's original. It sure sounds authentic to my ears, but credit for orchestration is given to some of these people, so who knows.

Adding to the discussion that MR BK & DR DRUXY were having yesterday.....
I don't mind dramatic license.....but making up stuff is a bad way to do.....I think Peter Finch's character in THE LEGEND OF LYLAH CLARE talked about this.....he was changing the way someone died and when someone objected he said something like: "Once the movie comes out, that's the way people will think it happened."
Once something is on film or in a book, a lot of people think it's so.....
Many folks still think Jean Harlow died of pneumonia....because it said so in the movie....
-
That was an entertaining link DR CHAS SMITH

I haven't yet watched the notorious Episode 5 of FOSSE/VERDON, so that's on the boards for this evening. I'm just as glad to know in advance that it's pure horse manure.

Much of it has to do with the fact that real biography is not as dramatically written as a play or filmscript. I've seen too many film bios that have little to do with the main character's original life. Onstage, the 1920s Romberg operetta Blossom Time, supposedly based on the life of composer Franz Schubert, used the plot of Cyrano de Bergerac, and ends with Schubert writing "Ave Maria" and dying of unrequited love for the leading lady. There's absolutely no mention that Schubert was gay or that the romantic leading man was supposedly the true object of Schubert's desire in the Viennese inner brotherhood.
-
I very much liked the book Fosse, the basis for this TV series, which I will most likely never see, but I remember absolutely no implications that Ms Verdon was ever romantically involved with anyone but Bob. Curiously, the book names many of his conquests from Janet Leigh to Raquel Welch, but there's no mention of the gossip I heard over thirty years ago that there was much casting couch activity and group sex.
-
I must get to the post office, bank, and pharmacy.
-
Last night I finished the memoir of Leonie Orton, sister of playwright Joe Orton. I had read John Lahr's edition of the Orton Diaries thirty years ago, but I did not know that Orton's agent Peggy Ramsay, was responsible for the disappearance of all the original Orton diaries. Only a photocopy exists.

Also, the baby learned to crawl a couple days ago.

I guess this conversation is going to continue.
I think if you are true to the characters and the facts, yet put them into a "fictional situation," like the beach house in FOSSE/VERNON, that is "dramatic license".
If you make up the facts, that is "lying".
Forgive me for plugging my new play, but this is a perfect example of what we are talking about.
In CLOWNS ON THE GROUND, Milton Berle, Joe E. Brown and Bert Lahr are "forced" to spend time together in the V.I.P. Lounge of a Chicago airport during a major storm that has grounded all planes. As far as I know, that never happened.
However, all the facts about their personal lives and their contentious relationships toward each other has been well researched and is true.
That's dramatic license.

Good morning, all.

TOD:
I’ve got the following from the library that need to be watched:
If Beale Street Could Talk
The Favourite
Stan and Ollie
Vagabond
-
Back from all errands. I need to put my meds together for the next two weeks and try out this new allergy prescription.
-
One of my favorite rescue groups is looking for a home for Teddy, a 9-week-old border collie-beagle mix. I am in love!
-
DR Ginny, have you thought about seeing You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown at the Playhouse in the Park? Lauren Molina, who played Belle in Desperate Measures, is playing Lucy.

I may be wrong but it seems as if you are missing the point. Dramatic license placing them in the airport, however, if you told a lie regarding how these people died (since that example has been used), and then called that lie "dramatic license" IMHO it would be wrong.

Teddy is adorable. He should go fast.

OMG, is he ever.
How could they fail to place him within ... oh, minutes? :)

I guess your idea of dramatic license is to willfully keep calling this show Fosse/Vernon even though you've been corrected on this point. I don't know what Fosse/Vernon is - I'm watching a show called Fosse/VerDon.

I'm up, I'm up - just about seven hours of sleep.

Friday afternoon greetings!
DR Ginny, have you thought about seeing You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown at the Playhouse in the Park? Lauren Molina, who played Belle in Desperate Measures, is playing Lucy.
Yes, I have thought about it. I’ve enjoyed the clips on Facebook and recognized Lauren’s name right away. We’re going tonight to the Human Race Theatre in Dayton with friends who are also Playhouse subscribers. I’ll see what they have to say about Charlie Brown.

Well, the potential good thing from yesterday is real and on Monday I'm going to the DGA Pension office to figure it all out. All these years I guess I've misread the stuff they sent me, misinterpreting that I was not vested and therefore could not receive a pension from them. But that was not correct. In fact, I could have begun receiving a pension six years ago and every year thereafter. The only reason I now know this is because I got a check three weeks ago because when you hit age seventy and a half they automatically send you the minimum amount twice a year.
So, when I finally opened this thing they'd sent me in January to the old address, I could see what the deal was and what my options were. They include a monthly pension payment forever, which is only a couple hundred bucks, but much larger payments not quite as frequently that would eat up the total amount within a few years. OR - a lump sum payment. And that is what I'm going to take because it will so make my life easier for the next eight months to a year and I could really use that respite. I'll also be able to then actually save some of the Kritzerland money from our releases, too. This is a very big, beautiful thing. I'm going in Monday to fill out the paperwork. I have already ascertained that it's possible to take the lump sum. How long it takes to process I have no idea, but if this all goes according to Hoyle I will be a very happy camper.

Don't forget to ask advice on whether taking it all at once would throw you into a high(er) tax bracket. Having a higher "adjusted gross income" could also make some of your social security taxable, where it might not have been otherwise.
-
That will be 5 cents, please. :)
Ginny will get that from our shared role as Lucy Van Pelt.
-
They may also ask whether you'll want income taxes withheld.
-
Or maybe they will withhold if you don't specify not to.
But if there will be income tax, you may want to get some withheld.

The read thru last night was most entertaining.

And, yes, it is Fosse/Verdon.
But, that does not nullify my point.
-
Bruce congratulations on your pension. Our HHW tax consultant offered some excellent food for thought.
-
I emailed him also, but figured I'd get "yelled" at less for being E*T if I got three or four posts out of it. :)
-
When BK yells, it is very low in volume, but has great impact. The pauses speak louder than other people's tantrums, LOL.

I must say that the Ormandy Carmina Burana is spectacularly good. I'm not sure I'd say the Jochum is better, but I have to hear that again.
Ormandy somehow just hit that one out of the park.
Something I always found spectacularly thrilling about it is Harve Presnell.
I wouldn't say Jochum is better, either. I was just thrilled to find it's really good, to the point that it immediately gained entry into my Inner Circle of Carmina Buranas. I need to hear it again, too, just as I need to hear the Shaw one again ... for which I have a feeling that I could find the Telarc sound annoying now, but hey.
I've always been partial to the Ormandy since it was first released, Maybe it was because it was the first recording of the piece I'd ever heard - in the 1960s, Carmina Burana, like "Glitter and Be Gay" - was not a well-known piece. By now both are almost clichés, done to death by the good, bad, and ugly.
Trust me, in the 1960's I was "Glitter and Very Gay."

I wouldn't say Jochum is better, either. I was just thrilled to find it's really good, to the point that it immediately gained entry into my Inner Circle of Carmina Buranas. I need to hear it again, too, just as I need to hear the Shaw one again ... for which I have a feeling that I could find the Telarc sound annoying now, but hey.
I've always been partial to the Ormandy since it was first released, Maybe it was because it was the first recording of the piece I'd ever heard - in the 1960s, Carmina Burana, like "Glitter and Be Gay" - was not a well-known piece. By now both are almost clichés, done to death by the good, bad, and ugly.
Trust me, in the 1960's I was "Glitter and Very Gay."
There's always the exception to the rule.

BK, did you ever know Barry Crane?
I don't think so.

If you have the Flix of Net, be sure to watch Bathtubs Over Broadway. It's really fun. Funnily, when you have "New Releases" on your screen and go through it, it ain't there. So are the algorithms not giving everyone the same new releases, or is Netflix just retarded and think that people should just have to search by title a new release?

Tonight we all watched Poirot in Hickory Dickory Dock, which was a good mystery and a comedy of culture clash with Inspector Japp staying at Poirot's while his wife was out of town and having problems with the bidet and Belgian food. Annabelle and Thatch loved the little mouse running around the hostel, corpses, and the interior of the clock before it made its public appearance when the clock struck one.

Gratuitous Post #100!
-
And on that note (F-natural), I'm leaving work...finally.
Be back later.
-
Netflix is quite inexpensive and we watch it constantly. I heartily recommend it
-
So the eye doctor appointment was quite long and very thorough
-
I had 8 separate tests before I actually saw the doctor, them he took about 3/4 of an hour with me
-
My appointment began at 9:20 and I had completed the paperwork and was taking the first test by 9:30, I wasn't finished until noon
-
Yesterday I had to go for blood work, he wants to rule out myasthenia gravis
-
Tomorrow I have to go for MRIs both with and without contrast
-
DR Vixmom, I’m sorry to hear about your double vision. Richard had quite an experience with that several years ago and sends you his best wishes.

We are back from seeing SYLVIA at the Human Race Theatre in Dayton. It was very well done.
DR Elmore, our friends saw CHARLIE BROWN at the Playhouse last week and felt it was overproduced. Sharon did say Lauren was great, though. I think we’ll pass...

When we did "Charlie Brown" in summer camp, we didn't have big sets and production values, just big wooden blocks, even for the piano that Schroeder played. No one asked for a refund because iff no sets.. Of course, it was free.

Our Elmore-directed production was pretty simple, too, DR FJL. And we didn’t have to play our own instruments, which they do at the Playhouse.

Hello, everyone.
-
Vixmom, I'm amazed but pleased that your doctor was so thorough.
Vibes for an easy solution.
-
I'm wondering how DR jan is doing. I hope she'll check in.
-
I spent the day having a very lengthy ultrasound, followed by a lengthy consultation. Everyone was thorough and professional, and I was pleased with the level of care. We must wait for the insurance company before we proceed.

I have a lot of allergies, which are often not taken seriously by medical personnel. The PA today was very good about reviewing them with me and even gave me a couple samples of products that they use so I can do a patch test at home ahead of time. Yes! Whyever not? But no one's ever provided such before.
I was pleasantly surprised that they use Arnica routinely and recommend its use at home.
-
I came home and promptly fell asleep. Dealing with medical issues can be exhausting!
-
Very good news from BK!
-
Good night.
-
Second interview is Monday.
How did you feel the first one went?
It got better as it went along. I'm not the best person for talking on the phone. I think I spent too many years interviewing others on the phone to allow myself to be interviewed properly.
-
Five!

I think I read that it was starting next week, so it may be there now and just not listed until Sunday.

Went to a very nice party tonight. Birthday party for two friends. Today was actually Jenn's birthday and her husband's was last week. He roasted a suckling pig and we ate the meat in tacos with plenty of marinated cucumbers, cilantro and onions, fresh avocado and a couple of salsas. The margaritas were flowing, and it just felt good to sit outside for awhile -- at least until it started raining at about 10:30.
-
Strange, but I was one of only about four or five who didn't smoke.

Krista from work met another coworker and me for lunch today and she brought the twins. This is Eli. He's a sweetie. His sister Olive is, too.
-
Hi, Jan!
-
Hi, John! Great picture but the baby looks like you're squishing him. He looks like "Dude, ease up a bit."
-
Feeling better than yesterday, pain isn't as intense. The whole side of my face is swollen and a large bruise has turned up on my jaw. I think the pain pills make me sleepy 'cause I keep dozing off.
-

True. But he was a happy little boy. He didn't cry once when I was holding him. Actually, neither child cried during our 90-minute lunch, except for about 10 seconds. Krista was very happy. I'm sure the rest of the patrons were, too.
-
I need some sleep. Good night, all.

Wow, nice to know the exam was thorough.

Have you had that before? My MRIs are done that way.

I am pleased you also received excellent care.

Vibes for easy solutions for both Vixmom & Jeanne.

It certainly is.

Aww, and that is for both of you 😊

That sounds about right. Did you start your antibiotics?
-
Feel better vibes for jan.

Good evening.

Recovery vibes for DR jan!

One more day of our heatwave, before we cool off.
-
Mother’s Day will be dry, but pleasant. Temperature in the upper 70’s.

On Wednesday I put in the request for my down payment money I will need for closing. Normally my 401 plan automatically deposits it directly into my bank account, but since I had already made a change to my account in the past week, I was told they had to issue a paper check.
-
Great, I had to deposit the check and then wait until the hold is removed before I can get a cashier’s check. Gggrrrrrr!
-
So, I took the check in to the credit union, explained the situation, and they said, “No problem, we won’t put a hold on the check at all.”
-
I just about fainted. The mortgage company was shocked, as well.
-
I was driving home singing, “Everything’s Coming Up Roses.”
-
Started the antibiotics so now I have 2 pills at different times. Graduated to solid food tonight. Mashed potatos. whoop-de-doo. Tomorrow I think it'll be scrambled eggs.
-
Yay, Tom!

Do you have anyone there that can help you?

If BK asks if he can bring you over some soup, just say NO!
