Topic of the Day:  I never listened to instrumental albums growing up, nor did I listen to classical music.  I didn't develop an appreciation for either until I was older.

I slept rather well. I had one long dream in which I was back at Miami University for an afternoon orchestra rehearsal. Looking for the rehearsal location, I ended up in a classroom where a girl I knew slightly from the theatre dept. attacked me for being snobby and rude to the theatre students in "my" circle of friends. Then she kept showing me photos of productions and I kept saying, these shows happened after I left Oxford. She showed me a library book with more photos of productions, none of which I was in since they were after 1971. The instructor for the class arrived and I left the classroom thinking, what was her name?

I still had the library book so I decided to go to the King Library and drop off the book. At some point, I removed my shoes, but when I tried to put them back on, I couodn't find them, so I went to the library's lost and found and found them. I also realized the book I had was not a Miami University library book, but a Middletown Public Library book.

I decided to visit some of my old friends from my days working as a library assistant. I found a couple who were polite but to busy rto visit.

DR JohnG, is this the Little Dorrit from around 2010 wth Judy Parfitt? I really loved the series, but the actor who broke my heart in it was Russell Tovey and his unrequited love for her. I should watch it again.

Well, the labs were kind of a bust. If I had a punch card for all my pokes, I'd have won a prize!

First they tried getting blood from my arm. No go.
They are trying to save all the butterfly needles, because they're in very short supply - but they saw no alternative, so I got one from their special stash. And that worked, to a point, but it didn't fill up the vial enough.

So then they had to lance a fingertip and squeeze it for several minutes to top off the vial.

And now I'm home. Bruised, but victorious!

She's also wonderful as a somewhat-past-it nun on CALL THE MIDWIFE. She has the best lines.

Then, I called my optometrist about my glasses, but I had to leave a message.  Then, I called the car dealership about a more accurate ETA on the delivery of my car.  I spoke to someone, but she took my info and will have to talk with someone else who'll (hopefully) call me back...and hopefully with a sooner ETA.

Good luck you reserve calls back.

Thanks, Jane!

I watched the season finale of AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS last night. It's not one of my favorite shows, but I liked the ending, which had a very nice little touch to it.



Was that the series finale? I lost interest

They were not my favorite. I think I read two or three. But I loved the William Cannon TV series.

And now, I'm off to Costco to see what they say about my glasses hinge...just to see if they think it's possible.

Well, Costco couldn't fix the hinge. :P
Title: Re: MAY I?
Post by: George on February 21, 2022, 11:17:21 PM
The piece is melted into the plastic frame (or the frame is melted around the hinge), so I think the only thing now is to find out if it's under warranty, and if it is, I'll either have to get new frames, or some kind of refund.

Post by: George on February 21, 2022, 11:17:49 PM
Or, it might not be under warranty anymore, and I'll just wear my older glasses (they're the frames that I'm wearing in my avatar).

That would be okay because the lenses are actually the same prescription as the lenses in my new frames.  It essentially didn't change.

David Muir wouldn’t emcee the broadcast, so I did the show strictly on HHW.

Finally, at about 4:30, I got up and decided to face the dawn.

It was not one of dawn’s better faces.
