Well, you've read the notes, the notes were nice but so yesterday, and now it is time for you to post until yesterday's nice cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: URAEUS!
-
And a Happy Birthday to (former?) DR Jed!

And on a sad note (b-flat), Jules Bass, Producer and Director Known for ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,’ ‘Frosty the Snowman,’ Dies at 87 (https://variety.com/2022/film/news/jules-bass-dead-rudolph-the-red-nosed-reindeer-1235414059/amp/).

Good morning, friends.

:)
Boo!
-
Good morning, all!
-
Another Access-a-Ride day. I hope it goes much much better rthan yesterday.
-
I did not sleep well last night, and I am very sleepy at the moment.
-
Good morning, all.
-
The nights are definitely getting cooler here, which helps with sleep.
-
It sure does, DR John G.

Here is another behind-the-scenes shot from Encores!

Literally.

Good morning, all.

Weird weather here. Warm-ish, rainy, humid. A few days ago we had the heat on in the theeder and it felt great. Last night they were beginning some staging and had to turn the AC on. I froze my ASS off. I'll welcome the return of those crisp autumn days.
-
Rehearsal tonight, then nothing till Sunday afternoon. The three-day break will be lovely.

BK - Do you mean you watched Kentucky Fried Movie, not Theater? But that the group itself was known as KF Theater before the movie?
I remember seeing the movie on Hollywood Blvd., and how some of the sketches, even then, seemed a little worn or overlong. But I'd enjoy seeing it now for my first time since it opened. I also tend to conflate it with another sketch movie called The Groove Tube, a sendup of television, which I should likewise see again for my first time since.
EDIT: It's the latter I definitely remember seeing on the Blvd., like at the Holly Cinema (?).
-
And now I wait on Access-a-Ride. Worst part of the day.

DR vixmom, Plan F is an AARP Medicare plan.
Since I don't remember signing up for it, I couldn't say how you would do it, but going to the AARP website and looking at their medical plans would be a good start, I think. And it's likely you need to be Medicare-eligible to sign up for it.
-
Yes, I'm up. Had me some dreams last night. Nothing upsetting, but nothing memorable, either.
It's currently overcast and gray, but the temperature is a moderate 65 degrees.
-
I was on my best civilized behavior yesterday. Oh, yes!
My cell phone has been getting calls the past week from Clover, SC. I don't know anybody in Clover (or in "clover", for that matter). I always saw the calls listed as having come in when I wasn't near my phone.
Yesterday, however, I saw a call from Cover, so I answered. It was a lady doing a health and welfare survey for South Carolinians. I decided to hear her out.
The questions were predictable, logical and my answers were anonymous as I was never asked for personal identifying info.
-
Apparently they've got your number, DR Ron Pulliam.
-
:)
-
I did get a little irritated, however...but not at the lady.
I presume she was entering my answers on a laptop or whatever. But, after I had answered my age (74), indicated I am unmarried and live alone, we entered a series of questions that seem to have ignored my previous answers: How many people under the age of 18 live in my house? Does my spouse need outside medical care? Etc. And DUH! Wouldn't you think that previously answered questions that rather negated the need for other questions would have been skipped over?
She had already asked and been told I own my house, that I am financially sound, and that I don't owe anyone money before she began asking if I had trouble paying rent/mortgage or if I could not afford food or if my utilities had ever been terminated because of late or non-payment.
I have done many questionnaires in which a parenthetical was in place saying that if my answer to the previous question was "No", or "Yes", then please skip the net 10 questions.
It took about 20 minutes, but the lady was very nice, and I figured she probably gets a lot of hang-ups and ugliness, so I played nice and thanked her at the end.

Apparently they've got your number, DR Ron Pulliam.
Yes, it seems apparent. One funny thing: I still use the cell number I got in Calfornia. No one even blinks when I tell them my cell phone area code is (510). The lady did ask if I currently live in South Carolina, so she must have realized my number wasn't local. It begs the question of how she got my cell number for a "South Carolina survey" in the first place.
-
I have zero plans for today.
I do wonder what I may get up to!

Struggling for metaphors, I am.
You could be a fine wine.

DR RON PULLIAM I watched the trial on a link to WISN TV......no commercials, except one at the beginning.
There are a lot of videos now that the jury is in deliberation.

DR Vixmom, we don’t yet know the cost of replacing our window. We’ll know more when the Glass Guru* is here on Friday.
* That’s really the name of the company!
-
Is he related to the Garden Guru?
-
MR BK did you have a favorite kid actor/character on TV when you were growing up?
I guess I liked Paul Peterson as Jeff on The Donna Reed Show because he was written like a real kid and he and Mary had some familiar disagreements.....
I also liked Robbie Douglas - Don Grady - on My Three Sons.

From John:
Mrs. Harris reminded me of Mrs. Pettigrew, a movie I also loved
I wondered about that when I looked it up.

At the moment we are watching tv in the guest room where Keith is sleeping. I am wearing a mask and sitting in a comfortable chair in the corner. Our station options are limited.

From DR TCB:
Well, you will have to wait until next week.
I am sorry you will have to wait that long, and at the same time relieved you have the appointment.

It's extremely convenient we no longer have to change our cell numbers. They know. We get mail for the kids who have never lived here.

When is the sentencing?
-
Rehearsal canceled!
A few degrees of separation, thankfully, but: Covid.
A cast member's mother was exposed, got sick within a day, and everyone who had been with her is also testing positive.
-
I'm up, I'm up - about seven and a half hours of sleep.
-
If you missed the first item I'm listing for sale, check it out in yesterday's posts.
-
Yup Guilty on ALL 76 counts!
-
DR JANE everyone is due back in court for scheduling for the sentencing.....so it will be after that.
-
That was an interesting and RARE item offered yesterday.
-
Good news DR ELMORE - perhaps your reporting your frustations are resulting in better service!
The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
-
Yup Guilty on ALL 76 counts!
Shocked, not ;D

Thank you.

I need to get out for a walk before it rains again.

But first he did all his sovereign citizen BS right up until the jury came in. Worse, there was a Reddit thread yesterday was some idiot anonymous putz said he was a juror. Judge turned it over to law enforcement - and of course Brooks is all over it, had case law to cite (again, who is advising him), but the prosecution said the post had been edited by the only person who COULD edit it, the poster him/herself, who admitted it was a prank and that he didn't think it would get as far as it did. The End. That idiot should publicly come forward and apologize and contact law enforcement. Anyone on the planet could have made that post - anyone, as the trial has been televised live all over the world. Furthermore, the post was in a thread called "justice for darrell e. brooks" - and yet, 76 guilty verdicts. Did someone who knows Brooks do it - who knows? An anonymous Reddit post is not going to result in a mistrial, especially given the edit of the post.
-
And it continues ::)
-
It began raining as I was about to leave. Instead of walking I am taking a covid test.
-
I am nervous about the result but really do not feel as if I have covid.
-
If this is covid I will be shocked.
-
Boo!

For several years now, Washington state has required 10-digit calling, even for local calls on land lines. We also have overlaid area codes, so a new neighbor across the street could have a different area code than you.

Stay well.
Within one day of exposure seems like it was a heavy dose. It also offers me a bit of hope that with each day I am less likely to come down with it and the vaccination has more time to do its job.

I don’t think it’s for me. As much as I love Jennifer Coolidge. Too much James Corden behavior is not my idea of entertainment.

Yes. I have. Don't ask me how it was that didn't realize I was paying for it. I thought the payment was for my prescription plan.

All these promos for the Matthew Perry interview confuse me. Supposedly, he is now clean and sober. If that is true, why does he look so much worse than he used to look?
-
We have a candidate for U.S. Senator here in Washington. Her name is Tiffany. In this one oft repeated commercial she is heard saying, "I met President Trump, and I was so I was so impressed!"
Now, putting aside political party, possible illegal activities, or even whether you like or dislike the man; my question is: What could you possibly find impressive about the man?
I am being serious!
-
Good for DR JANE!
-
I liked WHITE LOTUS.
Jennifer Coolidge plays a different kind of character for a change....a bit subdued, but an actual person.....
-
What could you possibly find impressive about the man?
It must have been that he didn't try to overwhelm her with sixth-grade level vocabulary.
-
Can we get off this page?
-
I do hope so.
-

What we are wanting is page 15.

Yes. I have. Don't ask me how it was that didn't realize I was paying for it. I thought the payment was for my prescription plan.
It is understandable as the process is confusing, and you are also working with the VA.
-

He is older and had some very close calls. I think he looks ok and I am glad he is still here to share his story.

Boo!
Is that supposed to be someone died waiting for their coffee to come out?
-
Since the sun was shining when I headed out on my walk I wore my short rain coat.
-
The first half hour was beautiful and I didn't need my coat zipped shut.
-
Then it began raining, not bad but enough I needed my coat zipped and my hood up.
-
Another half hour and it began to pour & my pants were rather wet so I headed in.
-
I feel better after a warm shower.
-
Perhaps, DR Jane. I interpreted it as "I'm not alive until after I've had my coffee."
-
LOL, thanks.
-
When are you scheduled to depart on your trip, DR Jane?
-
Back from bells.
-
Had dinner.
-
Time to relax a little.
-
Shouldn’t we be on page six by now?
-
Starting The Phantom of the Open.
-
Already won over by Sally Hawkins.
-
But I may go read some of Shy.
-
But let’s get off this page first.
-
We’ve started practicing Christmas music already.
-
Where did the year go?
-
November begins next week.
-
Six!
-
When are you scheduled to depart on your trip, DR Jane?
Early on the 5th. Bryan said they are all, including the kid, vaccinated so not to worry about them. Like if we get there and someone rebounds.
-
Still, I would love more stay well vibes. We don't go east in the winter which means we won't see them until April.
-
I am scared that Tiffany and our nazi candidate for congress will win.
I am terrified Zeldin will be our next governor
-
Stay well vibes for Jane

Get well vibes for Keith
-
~~~HEALTH VIBES~~~ for DR Jane's house!
-
And, of course, for DR TCB.
-
Yes, Christmas is just 60 days from yesterday.
-
Thanksgiving is less than 30 days from today.
-
The calendar pages are flying fast and furious.
-
As they would in a movie to show time passing.
-
Our busiest time of year at work - Open Enrollment - starts this Tuesday and runs through January 15th.

Oh, it's almost bedtime.

Is that for all insurance? I thought that was only for Medicare which you don't handle.

Jane, have you had your book discussion yet? Just read in Shy that Edna Ferber shared a balcony with Richard Rodgers and became kind of a proxy parent to Mary.
-
Still, I would love more stay well vibes. We don't go east in the winter which means we won't see them until April.
~~~Stay Well Vibes for Jane and Keith!!~~~
-
He is older, and he has been ravaged by his alcohol and drug usage. I think he's lucky to look as well as he does.
-
Shy is a really enjoyable.
-
But I must sleep.
-
Good night, all.
-
Good evening.

I had a great day chasing insects with my camera.
-
Finished with my viewing.

With my viewing I'm finished.

I just am.
-
Now I'll listen to some music by a French composer from France.
-
Since I only had a cheeseburger and a few onion rings at twelve-thirty, I'm making some noodles with butter. Why not, say I?
-
I say, why not?
-
I say, where in tarnation IS everyone?
-
We need some action, baby!
-
We need some postings.
-
We need a little this'a and a little that'a.
-
With an emphasis on the latter.
-
We just do.
-
Having a little zero sugar Sprite.
-
This symphony by the French composer from France is wonderful - his second symphony - sad to say, his first symphony has never been recorded. Damn them, damn them all to HELL.
-
I watched a nice documentary on film music, entitled Score. Can't fathom why I hadn't seen it.
