I then tried to set up a wi-fi hotspot on my phone so that my computer could connect through that, but I couldn't figure out how to do it.


At least you knew what you were trying to do.

I slept so poorly the night before that I went to bed at 8:00 last night. It was another restless night, and Stella and Thatch were restless as well. Faithful Annabelle crawled onto her pillow next to mew and stayed there all night.

It's been a terrible morning:
   1.  Amazon Fresh arrived around 9:15; the frozen foods were shabbily packed, and the ice cream was melted;
   2.  One item was omitted so I had to call for a credcit;
   3.  While I was dragging everything from the hall into the apartment, Annabelle and Stella played in hte hall, sniffng the bags of groceries and romping about; Stella came back in and Annabelle got lost so I had to go looking for her following her cries for help.
   4.  The cries stopped, and that frightened me becuae I was using her noise to determine on which floor she had gone to.
   5. The neighbor in 4C found me wandering the halls with my walker and calling for Annabelle to tell me there was a cat under his bed. After some cvoaxing, he retrieved her, set her on my shoulder and we came home.
Title: Re: THE LOVELY REACTION
Post by: singdaw on September 09, 2022, 08:53:19 AM
Wow, DR elmore3003! Glad Annabelle has returned safe and sound. She may not cry over spilled milk, but ice cream is another matter.

And already Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Pluto are in retrograde - so this is going to be a few weeks of world shaking events. 

This is in addition of course to the usual communication, computer, car and electronics interruptions....

I think you will enjoy it.

More than the parents who are trying to get it banned.

I did a bit of research on this.  A 7th grade teacher requested to make this as part of the curriculum.  As with all books requested, it was sent to review.  Parts of the book were considered inappropriate for 7th graders, however, they still read excerpts from the book and discuss them.

I watched a video which included students from the school named for him, and they were reading important sections.

Something I recently learned about (yes, this late in life) is arrabbiata sauce, a delightfully "hot" version of a marinara.
(It's not TOO hot, and it has a great flavor.)

ANYHOO.......I immediately began referring to it as abracadabra sauce.

Hahah DR JOHN G.

DR singdaw - somehow I think my participation would not have made a difference.

As I was just sitting on my front porch, an SUV drove by with a cutout of Queen Elizabeth II on the back seat window waving as though she were seated in the car.

And that DR JOHN G is Indiania.

Several friends have panned Disney's new live action Pinocchio. I think I'll stick with the old, terrifying animated version.

Same here!

There's also another one coming from Guillermo del Toro, which I would like to hope will be dark and terrifying as well.

Another cheer for the CD announcements. Cole Porter V sounds intriguing, and I'm absolutely thrilled to hear about the London How to Succeed... which I have never heard, and for some reason had never even looked for.

Well we have a Mercury retrograde starting tonight at 11:06 p.m. EST.

And already Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Pluto are in retrograde - so this is going to be a few weeks of world shaking events. 

This is in addition of course to the usual communication, computer, car and electronics interruptions....

It lasts until October 1.

I expected as much! I planned to ask you what is going on because something definitely feels off. Thanks for the update.

If you haven't seen the video of Queen Elizabeth and her tea with Paddington Bear, here it is:

that's so cute! I hadn't heard about it at all and I adore Paddington Bear.

Good for the Queen for being game.

Vibes for your mother, George. There's a lot more in the category of "minor surgery" than one would think. I also find that as I get older these things take more out of me. Rest is a good option.

I went out today to pick up some foodstuffs. It was like a sauna! 99 degrees and with a storm on the way. We could really use the rain, but they're predicting flooding, of course. the ground's just too dry to handle it.

The Queen having tea with Paddington Bear was made for, and first shown at a concert celebrating her 70 years on the throne.  As you can imagine the audience loved it.

If only a little rain would first soften the ground before the heavy rains arrive.

Watching the Buster Keaton documentary. I think this was Peter Bogdanovich’s last film. It’s not a good movie. Cybill Shepherd has no place here.

But the clips are excellent. He was a genius.

The extra, a half-hour presentation of Bogdanovich, begins with Charles Cohen of the Cohen Media Group. Cohen promises 4K versions of many of the Keaton films included in the documentary.

The sound quality was so bad on the Bogdanovich interview that they should have made it a silent.
