Title: ALL THE NEWS FROM DECEMBER 8, 1947
Post by: bk on May 29, 2022, 12:27:37 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes had all the news from December 8, 1947, and now it is time for you to post until the 1947 cows come home.

Post by: George on May 29, 2022, 01:01:04 AM: Yesterday after leaving my mom's, my sister and I went o my storage unit because she wanted to see if it was (possibly) large enough to store a small couch that she has. We get to the place and I couldn't remember how to open the gate! :o I had the keycard, and I guess there's a code that I have to enter to open the gate, but I just had no idea. I tried searching through my e-mails on my phone, but that rarely works, so I'll look again now that I'm on my computer and I actually remembered to look. ::)

Post by: elmore3003 on May 29, 2022, 04:21:41 AM: DR Jrand71, I'm with you: the OBC recording of Company is the only one. Everyone after has too small a band, and no cast is as good as the original. My neighbors Ann and Jen saw te current revival and really disliked it, especially the leading lady, wh they believed was not only miscast but giving a spectacularly poor performance.

BK, I'm blaming you for putting that idea of bagel and lox into my head yesterday, and I'm thanking you for that because it was really delicious. I woke up this morning thinking about it.

I thought it was the other way around. But no matter, because I’m blaming the both of you for what I’ll be picking up this afternoon for tomorrow morning.

DR Elmore has the advantage when it comes to lox, having the best in the world at his fingertips. Not that LA is shabby. Because it certainly isn’t. I’ll be going with a good packaged variety for convenience and safety in transport.

Post by: ChasSmith on May 29, 2022, 04:53:54 AM: Today is my only full day off this holiday weekend, and it’s booked solid with two “barbecues” (total misuse of the word) I’ve promised to attend: the annual one at a theeder friend’s house at noon, and a later drop-in at a neighbor’s house. I intend to be very careful not to over eat, and especially not to overindulge in adult beverages. It really should come to no more than a decent burger and a bit of sides at each place, several hours apart, but I know all too well how these things can get out of control.

My grandmother used to say she knew where her 3 children and all of her grandchildren would be at noon on race day - if not there in person, glued to a radio somewhere. She, her 3 kids, and one grandson are no longer with us and I have no idea who’s where, but I’m all settled in front of the TV waiting to hear “Back Home Again in Indiana.”

Post by: bk on May 29, 2022, 04:31:37 PM: Dear reader Jane's birthday news - December 7, 1948, a Tuesday. Front page news: Ex-commie Whittaker Chambers has formally accused Alger Hiss of stealing confidential State Department documents. Meat prices dropped five to eight cents a pound. There was light rain and the temperature in LA had a high of 63 and a low of 42. Brrrr. the state draft quota was cut for January. In Long Beach, a 14-month old baby narrowly escaped injury when an automobile crashed through a bedroom wall within inches of the crib where she was sleeping. Jap war lords won a high court delay. and the big news is that the city population, thanks to Jane, hit 2,008,580.

In other news, film actress Diana Lansing was in court on kidnapping and extortion charges involving a film producer, John Clein of 555 N. Rossmore. She and her co-defendent, actor Christian Anderson, forced Clein into his apartment at gun point, forcing the producer to sign a contract giving Miss Lansing $50 a week for four years under threats that his relationships with the actress would be disclosed. Clein maintined she was merely a chance acquaintance.

You could take a twelve-hour direct flight to New York for 99 bucks. All department stores were having nice sales. Actor Robert Walker (Bruno Antony of Strangers on a Train), was arrested in Tokeka, Kansas and spent the night in jail - drunk and destroying city property. But charges looked like they were going to be dropped. Authorities described Walker as a "sick man." You could have a brand new Chrysler Royal four-door sedan for $2472.52.

Actors Turhan Bey and Peggy Ann Garner assisted World Student Service Fund on the campus of Los Angeles City College. In movies, Red River was in its eighth smash week at four theaters. Laurence Olivier's Hamlet was at the 4-Star. Over in Jane's neck o' the woods, The Bruin (where she would later work) was playing Beau Geste, while the Village had Road House with Ida Lupino. At the Chinese was When My Baby Smiles at Me. Three brand new houses on my street, Bolton Road (but the other side of Beverly Park leading down into Cheviot Hills, were about to be completed. I'm sure they would have been pricey, around $30,000 or so, maybe a bit more. All three houses are still there and selling for 3.5 million. 10408 Sunset Blvd. was for sale - beautiful home, but you had to be rich - about 65 grand. Today? Over 8 MILLION.

New titles are live - so, if you want a jump on them go to Kritzerland and order. They're really fun.

BK, I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but the text on the page for Ben Bagley's OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN REVISITED (http://www.kritzerland.com/oscar.htm) is actually for BEN BAGLEY’S RODGERS & HART REVISITED VOLUME V. :-\

Post by: Jane on May 29, 2022, 05:48:22 PM: Keith has been having fun browsing the recently released 1950 census. He looked up a good friend, found her living in her parent's house where she was living when we first met her.

Her aunt and family lived down the street.

Next door to the aunt was the Ritter family, Tex, Dorothy Fay, and one year old (soon to be two) John.

Post-dessert, they served "Velvet Hammers," an ice cream cocktail. A little goes a long way.

Actually, no!
Title: Re: ALL THE NEWS FROM DECEMBER 8, 1947
Post by: George on May 29, 2022, 11:50:37 PM: I (was voluntold by my sister but) said to my mom that I'd come over every couple of weeks to mow her lawn, but she said that she doesn't want that. She WANTS to mow her own lawn because she wants the exercise.
Title: Re: ALL THE NEWS FROM DECEMBER 8, 1947
Post by: George on May 29, 2022, 11:50:48 PM: So, she'll let me know when/if she needs me to mow, but otherwise I'll go over every once in a while and help with some heavier gardening duties.
Title: Re: ALL THE NEWS FROM DECEMBER 8, 1947
Post by: George on May 29, 2022, 11:51:03 PM: She has a tree out front that she wants trimmed, but she can't handle the size or weight of the electric saw that she has, so I can do things like that.
