Well, you've read the notes, the notes were kind of a notes, and now it is time for you to post until the kind of a cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PALADIN!
-
First post after BK.
-
Is Dino on vacation this week?
-
Third post after BK.
-
Off to bed.
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning, all!

Bad night of sleep. I wanted to sleep in this morning, but Stella thought otherwise.
-
Joshie gets back into town today, so I look forward to his My Fair Lady report.
-
I plan to do very little today.

Mercury in Sag and a few other happenings point to career boosts and job offers coming along on Thursday December 12 - FULL MOON.
Just before I read this, I had received an email from a former employer inviting me to an event this evening, and I accepted. I am very happy about this, and I am also curious about why this has occurred. I'm saying no more about this now, but I hope to have a fuller report tomorrow.

The Man Who Came To Dinner isn't a funny movie? I think it's a hoot, not so much for Monty Woolley, who seems frozen to me, but I love Jimmy Durante, Bette Davis, and the rest of the cast.
-
DR TCB, how's Nicky doing?
-
Good morning, all.
-
Vixmom, congratulations to Vixdad and you. In May, it’ll be 30 years since I quit smoking. Hard to believe the 1990s are now 30 years ago.
-
Vibes for Nicky.
-
I shall have to ponder the TOD. I have read 120 books so far this years. The book I finished yesterday, a memoir called Times New Roman, won’t make the list. It’s about a woman with no facility for languages who moves to Rome for two years and experiences very cliched things.
-
Kitty cleanup finished. Mayor Pete is on CBS This Morning. I'm supporting him, but I'm voting for whoever gets the nomination.
-
T.O.D.
I'm currently reading a book about the making of ALL ABOUT EVE, which is interesting.

Good morning!

DR VIXMOM I would like The New Yorkers if it's still available - but you don't have to send it until after the Christmas RUSH.

I like DR VIXMOM's story of the Ambush For Signatures....
What a rat!

Yes DR ELMORE we want a full report.
More:
The full moon in logical, endlessly-curious Gemini has you asking questions about anything and everything today—and you won't stop until you get the answers you're looking for. Technology is a valuable resource now, and since the clever Gemini full moon energy puts you in total control of the flow of information, it's hard to think of a better time to gather pertinent data about what 2020 holds!
Sounds like some kind of collaboration to me.....

Yes the rsst of the cast is good. When I saw the play I was shocked how funny it was.

DR George we still say tin because aluminium is a mouthfull ;)
-
Repeating, i.e. pin, lengthens a word. That doesn't make sense to me ;)
-
DR Vixmom I am glad you regularly didn't take time to wait for the elevator. I almost always prefer to take the stairs when possible.
-
DR TCB I also like the E.T. redo.

I just say "foil" since there really isn't any other kind in common usage, so I don't need to specify which kind. ::)

The cats have an hour before dinner, but every time I walk into the room they run to their scratching posts to sharpen their claws for dinner.
I can't face their constant disappointment!

I am FINALLY listening to The New Yorkers and am thoroughly enjoying it!! ;D
-
It arrived yesterday when I was at my parents' house.
-
Lunch in forty-five minutes, BUT - knowing people as I do, I'm thinking Corky's might be VERY crowded with people who haven't been there in two decades suddenly needing to have a meal there.

I don't get the issue with "the" in front of hot water heater ;D
I simply say ATM.

I should simply say foil and sometimes I do. Sometimes I even say aluminum foil. Often I say tin foil.

It is listed on IMDB as "in development". I also read it this year and thought it was excellent, which I know I mentioned at the beginning of the year.

We are waiting for the rain to stop before going for a walk. With luck it will stop & stay stopped because we are still going for a walk.
-
So far I have only read 116 books this year. A good number of them were published in 2019. I will name a few of those.

The issue isn't "the". The issue is: the water heater is for heating cold water, not hot water.

Back from Corky's - exactly as I predicted - jammed - I think we got the last booth. I would also say that 90% of the people there had never stepped foot inside the place before - the manager agreed. Because of these idiots, they were actually out of Diet Coke. My usual sandwich was great, as it usually is. I also noticed that they were completely out of pies. I also noted that one table of especially irritating non-Corky's regulars had all ordered the broasted chicken.
-
Then I picked up some packages, including some Warner Bros. DGA screeners, the only one of interest to me being the Clint Eastwood movie. It Part 2 is not of interest, nor is Just Mercy.
-
I was going to ask how DR ELMORE really feels about the guy - until I read his second post on the subject.
-
I used to READ ALL THE TIME.....and now that I have time, I don't read as much.....or else I read a book and forget about it.....
Which two on my list had you read DR JANE?
-
My guess is RACHEL and MAGIC CASTLE.
-
For some reason NEITHER of my photo editing softwares would open today.....crazy.
So I was looking for another one....a free one, since I had paid for the other two.....it took me a couple of tries. I just needed something to do some cropping....whew!
-
I ended up with inPixio which seems as if it will do the trick.
-
Broasted chicken sounds good.
I made 8 cheeseburgers yesterday.....that should last me for a few days.....
-
I watched the new AEW show last night. It's more entertaining that WWE - but that's not saying much....
My brother and I loved wrestling on TV when we were little....but it ain't the same animal now.

Only for me. I used to read at least 150 a year. The last few years I have read fewer books, and some of these books where short.

Thus begins a four-show weekend.

I am glad you guessed as I originally responded with a book off of DR Chas list, Beloved. After I corrected the book it is good I thought to remove by comment I had read booth books the year they were published.
-
Rehearsal in thirty minutes. Must take a quick shower now.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
I must compliment BK. I so enjoyed listening to THIS CHRISTMAS (the CD) yesterday that I had to listen to it again today. A wonderful CD.
-
I see that Vixmom, the bargain queen, has been at it again. I'm jealous! (Admittedly, I bought a number of things for myself this season--too many bargains to pass up! But not quite the deals Vixmom got.)

The cats sharpen their claws before dinner? Do you make them open the cans?

Do you know why they're closing? Rent increase? Retiring?

I picked up my newly revised computer glasses today and am trying them out now. It's a little difficult to really test drive them properly as there's a problem with my right eye that the glasses are unable to address. The ophthalmologist must do that. (Long wait for an appointment.) And then the floaters get in the way, too. sigh. But so far text does seem to be clearer and sharper--vice the first pair where there was zero improvement. Call me old-fashioned, but I feel you should be able to see better with new glasses than without them.
As for the blue-light coating, I was wondering if there's a way to tell if the lab even put it on. Yes. Looking in the bathroom mirror I could see a faint blue or violet tinge to the upper part of the lens. I remember when I first had anti-reflective glare coating added to my glasses people would often ask if I was wearing eye shadow. (I never wear eye shadow.) This is similar.
-
Has anyone here tried the blue-light coating or known anyone who has? I'm interested in others' experiences. It'll probably be a couple weeks until I can really say if I see a difference, but my friend in Hawaii LOVES it.
-
I then stopped at the little Mexican restaurant run by Armenians. It was 2 pm and the place was empty. I ordered enchiladas to go, mailed some letters, and was on my way.
-
Happy belated birthday to DR Ginny!
-
Vixmom, I'm glad you were able to get your papers signed by that pig. I hope you can now close that door and savor the new office and your new boss. The holiday dinner sounds very nice, too. You'll have to give us a thorough report.
-
DR Jeanne I agree you should see better with new glasses. I also know the frustration of that not happening. Good vibes getting your eye problem fixed. Is this the surgery in January?
-

No. I am intrigued by it and hope it works for you.
-
No one ever asked me if I was wearing eye shadow with anti-reflective glare coating added to my glasses, but then sometimes I would wear it & sometimes not. I never noticed a difference except I could see better driving at night.
-
I don't keep track of the books I read in a given year. I took a big bags of "rejects" to the local library a few months ago. So difficult to get rid of books! But those I could part with.
-

No, I'll see him in late February for a consultation. He'll probably want to do a laser procedure, but it won't be that day. Nothing moves quickly with an HMO. I'm hoping his long wait is warranted. My PCP really wanted me to see him--not anyone else.
-

that was in the early days of anti-reflective coating (ARC). I don't see the color now in normal ARC--just the blue-light version. I definitely see better with ARC. Now, will I see better--or sleep better--with the blue-light coating? We shall see.
-
TTFN.

A few favorite books I read & were published 2019:
The Whisper Man by Alex North
The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow
The Lost Man by Jane Harper
The Night Tiger by Yangsze Choo
The Butterfly Girl (Naomi Cottle #2) by Rene Denfeld
Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight for Justice by Bill Browder

I figured that & was referring to those. I wear contacts at night now & that also helps with the glare.

I love Goodreads as I can keep track of the books & write notes to myself about them. Technically my notes are called reviews but they really are for me.

That is a long wait when you have a problem. MEGA VIBES HE IS WORTH THE WAIT!

I keep track of my books on Goodreads also, but I don't review them. I also just use it to see how many books I read.

I usually give star ratings to something if I really dislike it or think it deserves a 4 or better. Most books get nothing. I rarely give 5 stars. By putting stars in, or short comments to myself, it helps to jog my memory as I read so many books.
I didn't use to need to do this, but alas I do now.
-
I was very nervous as my left hearing aid stopped working last night.
-
It was a relief this morning when I drove to the audiologist and, without having to wait, got a quick fix. Then he changed out the same part on my other hearing aid.
-
I hear soooo much better now. What I thought was a problems with my ears due to my allergies and cold was in truth due to this part. He said to try & stop in every 3 months to change out the part. I have it on my calendar to do that from now on.
-
I'm leaving work and heading home.
Be back later.
-
Back from not attending the put-in, due to a huge blow-up with Doug Haverty. I'd sent an e-mail saying I'd be able to get there on time and that I wanted to do act three so I could give notes to Barry's cover and then leave - no reason for me to be at a speed-through. He'd sent an e-mail that I hadn't seen saying that I couldn't throw a curve ball, that people were showing up according to what act they were running. Well, the first people I saw when I arrived were the Banjo and Lorraine, both of whom don't have to be there for the beginning. Then he made the bad error of getting in my face about it and I blew up, and he made the worse mistake of telling me to leave the theater and not come back, and yet following me out when I said okie doke, and screaming at me. I reminded him that I'd just come from a two-hour rehearsal, and that I am the director of this show, not him. I then walked back in the theater, apologized to everyone for the blow-up, and took my leave. And unless he apologizes to me by e-mailing the entire company, he will get his wish - I will not return to the theater, I will not show up tomorrow for the casting session, nor will I show up to any further performances of this show, and if I get really annoyed, he can find a new director for his play, which means he can find a replacement for Peyton, who won't do it if I'm not doing it.
I'm just going to calm down now and relax.
-
DR VIXMOM I would like The New Yorkers if it's still available - but you don't have to send it until after the Christmas RUSH.
I do still have it and you are the first to ask so Merry Christmas! Please pm your address
-
Sorry to hear about your argument BK
-
I hope Elmores event tonight was fun and leads to interesting and lucrative ventures
-
I had a lovely day
-
Work was fine.
-
My Thrivent rep came to my office and collected the papers to effect my 401K rollover
-
I popped by and visited my mom at lunchtime
-
After work I went home showered changed did my makeup and was at the dinner venue by 6 pm
-
The dinner was at a beautiful country club that I have been driving past my entire life but never had occasion to visit
-
It was looks like a big old mansion, beautiful large rooms with lovely fireplaces and polished wood paneling and all decorated for Christmas.
-
There was an open bar...I indulged in a Shirley Temple during the cocktail hour
-
I did have a glass of Chianti with dinner but only drank about half
-
Appetizer was a choice of meatballs or jumbo shrimp cocktail .
-
I opted for the shrimp which truly were jumbo...and delicious
-
Then a choice of Caesar or Tossed salad
-
I ha$ the Caesar
-
Then there were several choices for dinner
Seafood risotto with shrimp, clams, mussels
Baked Salmon
Swordfish
A chicken dish
And the overwhelming choice (I think only 3 of the 18 present had something different)
Porcini rubbed filet mignon with Demi glacé , grilled asparagus and mashed potatoes
-
Mine was perfectly medium rare and sooooooooooo tender
-
Then we were given an after dinner aperitif with creme de menthe and some kind of frothy topping
-
It was delicious
-
Then dessert of either hot apple cobbler with ice cream or hot brownie with ice cream
-
My table neighbor and I ordered different item s and then split them so we both got both
-
And coffee or tea
-
It was a really fun night

I'm sorry this happened. Vibes all gets straightened out soon.

Vixmom, your dinner sounds wonderful.
-
I bought a few canvas prints today on Groupon for Dad's room. They were $3 apiece. The shipping cost was $10 apiece. Still, they should add a nice touch to his room. One was of my sister Brigitte and me from last Christmas. One was of my nephew Herman with his French horn. And the third was of Mom and Dad standing with a portrait of themselves.
-
Looks like the impeachment vote will happen first thing in the morning.
-
Saw the preview for In the Heights tonight. It shows promise, but this is one movie musical in which totally in-sync choreography seems out of place. Latin music is perhaps too sensual for rigid, lockstep choreography. Still, I really enjoyed the show on stage and have hopes for the movie. I liked the sound of Jimmy Smits singing. I don't think I've heard him sing before.

I'm surprised I'm enjoying Being Human as much as I am. Robin Williams is wonderful in a series of stories, but it's the empathy I enjoy most.

Good night, all.

It was looks like a big old mansion, beautiful large rooms with lovely fireplaces and polished wood paneling and all decorated for Christmas.
Lovely.

There was an open bar...I indulged in a Shirley Temple during the cocktail hour
It sounds good to me.
-
Then dessert of either hot apple cobbler with ice cream or hot brownie with ice cream
The cobbler sounds good. Aside from dessert and salad was there a vegetarian option?

Bruce I am sorry & sad you and Doug had a big blow-up.. Vibes all will soon be ok again.

Exceptional books I read this year that were published prior to 2019 that I haven't commented on yet.
Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark T. Sullivan
The Child Finder (Naomi Cottle #1) by Rene Denfeld
On the Beach by Nevil Shute
Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman
I remember reading On the Beach back in ninth grade English. I loved it. I bought a copy of A Town Called Alice this year, but I haven't picked it up yet.
I personally think A Town Like Alice is better than On the Beach.

I bought a few canvas prints today on Groupon for Dad's room. They were $3 apiece. The shipping cost was $10 apiece. Still, they should add a nice touch to his room. One was of my sister Brigitte and me from last Christmas. One was of my nephew Herman with his French horn. And the third was of Mom and Dad standing with a portrait of themselves.
John this is a perfect and thoughtful gift. I hope we can see photos of them.

Finished with my viewing.

I should read another Nevile Shute novel. I enjoyed the 5 books I have read. My Ashland library has a number of them to choose from. I think I will read The Breaking Wave next.

PAGE SIX DANCE!!

Hi, Tom.
-
Saw the preview for In the Heights tonight. It shows promise, but this is one movie musical in which totally in-sync choreography seems out of place. Latin music is perhaps too sensual for rigid, lockstep choreography. Still, I really enjoyed the show on stage and have hopes for the movie. I liked the sound of Jimmy Smits singing. I don't think I've heard him sing before.
I'm really looking forward to this.

Hi, George.

Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), is the first guest on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

BK, I am so sorry to hear about the fallout with Doug. Hopefully, he will come to his senses soon.

Today, I received at home the DigiMix Remastered of the 1990 studio recording A Little Night Music (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07ZM8321X) with Siân Phillips as Desiree.

I actually got it from Jay Records (https://jayrecords.com/), but the direct URL includes brackets, but that screws up links on this board. Weird.
