Topic of the Day:  I had recorded the last three episodes of Doctor Who and watched those pretty quickly.  I also have the episodes from this season and about half from last season of Grey's Anatomy.  I really need to watch those so that I can delete them from my DVR.  Otherwise, I rarely binge watch anything.

Have a good day, all!

Three days away from radiation and my bladder seems much happier not to be inflamed and irritated. I suspect the next two days will wreak hell on it, but I'm also wondering if my PSA might ber dropping back to a healthier level. We'll see.

My plans for a ME day yesterday worked out as well as my IRS preparation planning. Instead, I spent most of my day dealing wiht budgets and other concerns of this potential recording project. If I had had any foresight that I would be doing this sixty years ago, I would have taken a couple of business courses as well as several in grant and business proposal writing.

One question yet to be resolved is do we ask for funding to make four or six recordings? The orioginal four are set, but I'd like to give two of my colleagues something they would seriously like to see recorded.

Topic of the day: I had them to access to two programs: Star Trek Picard in Star Trek Discovery. Very interesting reworking of the Star Trek franchise. Most interesting thing is the use of four letter words and the violence that you don’t see in the movies or the TV series of the past

TOD

Between the shows I've collected on DVD and Blu-ray and those available from any number of other sources, I should be binge-watching much more than I actually do. I have no shame in saying I love doing it. I do not discount the traditional experience of enjoying a weekly bit of suspense wondering what's going to happen in the next episode of something, but I do love the modern convenience of being able to have it all at your fingertips ... and just binge, baby, binge.

Very nice house and listing, DR Jrand71.

And yes, it needs the rest of the pictures! :)  How does it happen that they omitted the bedrooms and bathrooms? I also think a simple floor plan is very helpful, especially when it comes to what something like a basement layout is. And all the rest, really. (I'm always trying to assemble the layout from pictures in my poor little head.)

But it looks great, and I'll bet it sells quickly.

For the rest of the month:

Title: Re: BINGE WATCHING
Post by: Ron Pulliam on February 22, 2022, 08:47:08 AM
I am back from lunch.  I went to Riley's on Main (on Calhoun Street, natcherly).

Today I had some sort of beans, some mac n cheese, a single chicken tender and some spaghetti.  Had a chocolate puddin' for dessert.  Topped it all off with a glass of unsweetened ice tea.  It was filling.

I then went to a local market and bought a loaf of bread and a can of Pringles chips.

I am ready for the rest of the day.
Title: Re: BINGE WATCHING
Post by: Ron Pulliam on February 22, 2022, 08:47:46 AM
Before I did all that, however, I mailed out all my tax payments -- state, federal and my CPA payment.

It's good to be done with it all.
Title: Re: BINGE WATCHING
Post by: Ron Pulliam on February 22, 2022, 08:53:55 AM
I had a very nice, restful sleep last night.

I was sorry to read about DR JohnG's experience.

I had a similar experience many years ago.  I think it was 1996.  I hadn't had anything bad to eat.  I got up from bed to go to the bathroom and suddenly found myself face down on the floor as my muscles spasmed.  I cracked a few ribs, I did, so I must have fallen flat on my chest.   I guess I wasn't fully awake, but I did black out or fall asleep until the rude awakening.

I had to go to work the next day as it was "Bring Your Daughter to Work Day" and one of my people was in charge and I had duties to perform.  Those duties were to bring in Orange Juice and doughnots for the morning, and then to pick up pizzas for lunch.

I was in a lot of pain, but I got all done and left work right after pizzas were delivered.  Went to the doctor, got x-ays and then received some very wonderful, wondrous, beautiful meds:  Some for after work and some FOR work.

The after work meds were delightful, as I recall.  I remember I had gotten two CDs in the mail that same day.  One was an expanded "Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind" and the other was Michel Legrand's "The Thomas Crown Affair". I sat cross-legged ina stuffed chair and listened to both CDs twice.  I remember being amazed and awed by both of them.

Such are the vagaries of wonderful pain killers.   

(i also know the dangers and never abused them).
Title: Re: BINGE WATCHING
Post by: Ron Pulliam on February 22, 2022, 08:57:43 AM
P.S. to the previous post:

The meds FOR work were quite effective, so much so that I was able to work through a day most comfortably without any side effects.

I did have one bad experience, though.  I was standing at a cabinet and pulling files from a drawer.  There was dust, i guess, because something caused me to sneeze.

It did not occur to me NOT to sneeze, and I found myself on my knees following the sneeze.  I wasn't hurt, but I learned to suppress such things until I was more healed.

DR JANE there are three fireplaces in the house.....one in the living room, the white brick wall, one in the TV room in the basement, red brick, and one in the family room with a nice mantel.

All three have been sealed and waterproofed.  The fireplace in the family room is set up so that you can have an electric log.  The house is totally electric [kitchen, laundry, heating/cooling] so no gas log can be used......

I might have to put a mount on the dashboard to hold the phone so it'll be more convenient to use it. But I have to get used to setting the phone app up, whichever it's going to be, and using it in general.

Did he ever ask you why you left your pet at home?

TOD:

I have binge-watched many things, sometimes to completion or until I felt the series had stagnated.

Among my complete binges:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Pride and Prejudice (several times...the Colin Firth/Jennifer Ehle series)
Downton Abbey (two times)
Victoria
Quantum Leap
Battlestar Galactica (the original serries)
The Big Bang Theory
The Golden Girls
Murder, She Wrote

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

Odd, I can't find it.  Which series was it?

Nero Wolfe. It only ran one season.

Mystery solved.  There is more than one Nero Wolfe series, and two of those only lasted one season.  None of them are with William Cannon, which is why I couldn't find it.

It was William Conrad :)  I can picture him in the role.

William Conrad played Cannon. My head is exploding

I just got home from radiation. The driver on the trip must be the most clueless driver I have ever encountered. Even with the GPS he screwed up all the way home. Oy!

GPS?

I wonder if it helps in getting through the one-way streets and avoiding known traffic problems.

I just never would have thought of needing GPS there, at least in that part of town. But I'm not a GPS user anyway, though I probably should be. I've tried it a few times on the phone, but I don't have it built into the car.

Every AAR driver uses it. It's great in helping them get around the five boroughs,

That would most definitely be a huge help.

I might have to put a mount on the dashboard to hold the phone so it'll be more convenient to use it. But I have to get used to setting the phone app up, whichever it's going to be, and using it in general. I've just been lazy about doing it because I haven't gone anywhere I'm not totally familiar with in such a long time.

I don't use a separate GPS app.  I just use the Google Maps app and it's been right every single trip that I've made.

I had a dashboard mount for my phone and I really liked it, but the plastic rod that holds the suction cup to the window broke.  I'm going to wait until I get my new car before I get another phone holder.

Well Marqueeta was not quite sure what had happened to the annuity payout, she said...."We need.....oh...uh....no we have that.....well we need.....oh no we have that.....there's is a ....oh no there it is.  Well I will have someone call you this afternoon about this.  I don't know what has happ'n."

So Michael called about noon and apologized and said our claim had been setting on someone's desk instead of being sent to actuary, but that he would "expedite" it and it should be sent out next week.

We shall see what happens.

I just found out that he sent all the leftovers of the other colors to me in the mail.

Don't feel like viewing. Spent most of the day writing my sequences. Got all but one done. David told me he did his but I wasn't seeing his new stuff. I told him so and he went on to our doc and didn't see mine. Mine said "saving" which was weird because it's supposed to do that instantly. So, one of us clicked on something we shouldn't have and we spent an hour trying to figure it out. I saved separately all the new stuff I'd done, just in case. I quit Word and when I relaunched our working doc it gave me a warning notice and asked if I wanted to resolve issues. That's when I noticed that auto save, which was on, was off. I put that on on then resolved the three issues and voila, everything was fine and David could see my stuff and I could see his. Scary, though.
