DR Jeanne, Access-a-Ride always warns you to all 30 minutes leeway, which can be difficult to impatient old coots like me. I have a ride scheduled this morning at 8:59 for pickup to the lab tests I missed yesterday. I think it will go fine this morning. Ther worst part - if they arrive on time, get you early to your appointment, and you finish up long before your return time - is the wait to be picked up.

I've finished the autobiography of "fat, Jewish lesbian actress" (her description) Miriam Margolyse (Aunt Pru on Miss Fisher's Mysteries), which was wonderful. I admired her honesty, politics, humor, and sharp observation very much.

I'm now reading a novel by Gwen Cooper, Love Saves the Day, which so far is narrated by a cat named Prudence, who's around Annabelle's age. I hate the title, which to me smacks of Hallmark movies and romance novels, but the story deals with human relationships and a pet's situation when their owner and best friedn suddenly dies.

Happy Anniversary, HHW!

I've been here for the past nine of those twenty years, and I'm sure lots of history had already gone by before I joined.

Not to mention, 9/11 had just happened when this started. That context alone is amazing to consider.

It is now two weeks since I last got a daily update from CastRecL.

It's not even coming into my spam folder, as it often did in the past. I know mail applications have a horrible time judging whether mail-list or listserve mail is legitimate, so I always keep my spam mail folder checked daily and emptied. But this particular list seems to be notorious for these glitches.

I've had a couple of days at a time where I see nothing. Or see only one or two posts. But this one takes the cake.

So, at 8:59 I was outside the building on the sidewalk, waiting for my ride. St 9:04 I called AAR and asked where the car was. They put me on hold for 14 minutes, then told me the car wasn't coming. They would call for another, which would take between 10 and 30 minutes or more before a car would arrive. I told them to cancel my trips abd took a taxi. What would have cost me $5.50 roundtrip cost me $20+! ! !

I rerally detest this fucking service for senior coitizens.

There is that, but that's probably preferable to having to cancel at the last minute.

Now for my question:  Has anyone ever heard of shooting a suspect in the foot?  Or in his shooting hand?

I often wonder that.  Extra sad is that this sounds like a suicide by police.

I had meant to comment on TCB's question, too.

I always thought that shooting to incapacitate, but not kill, was an option that was (or used to be?) practiced whenever possible. Then several years ago I read an article that explained how actually unrealistic that is. And how unsafe, should the danger turn out to be very real. The reasons given were that aiming for a limb is way the hell harder than you might think, and that any advantage given to someone waving a real gun around can be lethal. For these reasons, the writer (who was possibly in law enforcement, but I don't remember) concluded that shooting only to wound someone is a very popular myth among the populace. Cops are trained to shoot to where it will kill, period.

But it also makes me think too many are video game trained and the goal is to eliminate problems, aka taking them out.

I came here in 2003 after former DR JMK was always asking me trivia questions - they turned out to be questions from this here site - the person who guessed correctly got a sparkling prize.

At that time we didn't have to register and the comments were posted on the same page as the notes - and somedays there were HUNDREDS.

You could also sign your post with any name you wanted.....

Later we became the membership site we now enjoy.

I came when DR JMK finally directed me here and I brought along DR MICHAEL BARNUM and DR KURT both of whom are no longer in evidence around these here parts.

I watched THE ELECTRICAL LIFE OF LOUIS WAIN the other day. Interesting, but a bit uneven, I thought. A quality production, but a bit unfocused. A few years ago I probably would have loved it. I'm so picky these days!

Laura, I hope you can find something quite interesting to do in your area and enjoy that instead. I can understand feeling bummed out, though. Soooo many vacations have been put on hold due to Covid.

Thanks. We usually go in November because I attend a church conference in the L.A. area. But the venue canceled us this year (as well as last year), and we found out that the days we reserved for Disneyland have shorter hours than usual. One day, they are closing at 7 p.m. for a ticketed event. That's just too many lost hours for the money we are spending. So we decided to postpone it for a few months.

We got our boosters today, so we'll have one less thing to worry about when we do go. My daughter has the week off anyway, so at least she won't feel crappy at work.

So, at 8:59 I was outside the building on the sidewalk, waiting for my ride. St 9:04 I called AAR and asked where the car was. They put me on hold for 14 minutes, then told me the car wasn't coming. They would call for another, which would take between 10 and 30 minutes or more before a car would arrive. I told them to cancel my trips abd took a taxi. What would have cost me $5.50 roundtrip cost me $20+! ! !

I rerally detest this fucking service for senior coitizens.




Had you seen this article?  This seems system-wide.

Also a good read is Madame Fourcade's Secret War: The Daring Young Woman Who Led France's Largest Spy Network Against Hitler by Lynne Olson.  I liked it better but that could be due to reading it first.

I've finished the autobiography of "fat, Jewish lesbian actress" (her description) Miriam Margolyse (Aunt Pru on Miss Fisher's Mysteries), which was wonderful. I admired her honesty, politics, humor, and sharp observation very much.


She told the story from the book of her arrest and strip search on The Graham Norton Show.

It's been a while since I ate here.  The worst part (and it's not really that bad) is that they don't have straws anymore.  The soda lids have a tab that you either push in or pull out (I still don't know which way it's supposed to go) and that makes an opening to drink from.
Title: Re: A VERY HAPPY HAINESHISWAY.COM ANNIVERSARY!

The opening is a tad too big to effectively keep the ice in the cup. :P

She's Funny That Way was actually a lot funnier than I remembered. I really enjoyed watching it. It wasn't great, but it was charming.
