Because the smoke detector wasn't quite annoying enough, just went to turn the shower on and the handle broke off. I managed to turn it by hand but it's really hard to do and you can't get the water temperature right. So, hopefully Grant can have his handy man come by and replace it.

We just got our first Dairy Queen several months ago, and it’s about as close to my house as anything retail can be. But have I been there yet? No, because I am a FOOL. Of course I’ve intended to stop in and have something since day one…in particular, a cheeseburger just for old times sake because it will remind me of a few enjoyable car trips which were the only times I ever seemed to be at a Dairy Queen. And now I’m hearing about STACKBURGERS? Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something.

I don't do a lot of streaming although of what I've seen this year, I like:

Peacemaker on HBO with Mr. John Cena.

A couple of the movies I mentioned yesterday were on streaming....but I think they were also in theeders.

I also liked THE LOW about the Murdaugh family and the murders and crime in South Carolina.

I just turned down the job offer. It looks like I will have to go to Louisville to move Mom out of her apartment. She’s not improving enough after the stroke to live independently. And I can’t afford an hourly job with no time off.

Sending hugs and hoping it was best you didn't change jobs.  I gather you had not mentioned the job offer at work yet.

No. Outside of my family here, I think I told only three or four others. I was going to wait on the background check first. But I stopped that today before it happened.

I am especially sorry for the reason you decided not to take the job.

Claire Keegan, an Irish writer I love, has written a short story called Foster. It’s published by itself and in 50 pages, it’s easily the best thing I have read this year. Breathtaking prose so exquisite that it makes you ache.

It sounds wonderful.  I just put a hold on it at my library.

I am majorly annoyed with my doctor's office. On Sunday the Nurseline nurse recommended that I be monitored in case the situation got worse and also strongly felt that I should call my PCP on Monday to explain what happened and see if he felt I should come in that day. I did so, but Cedars dropped the ball. I was clear that my doctor would want to know what happened and might want to see me ASAP, yet no one returned my call. A nurse was supposed to call me to get the message to the doctor, yet failed to do so. This is so typical! I'll be seeing my doctor tomorrow for a previously scheduled visit, but it really is important to be able to contact my doctor when the unexpected happens. They blew it.

Elmore, very glad the billing problem was solved -- and quickly.

I once received a bill that I should never have received. I suspect there's some attempted fraud going on, especially where seniors are concerned. They think -- or hope -- we're all gaga and will just pay the bill.

DR singdaw I just read a book called The War a companion to the Ken Burns PBS show....and Luverne MN was one of the towns featured in it.....

There were many WWII generals who decided to do things on their own and caused many men to lose their lives just get some glory fro themselves.  I know that this wasn't reported in our history books....but it is much discussed now....including some generals that I thought were heroes.....and turned out not to be.....
Title: Re: THE NEW BOOK DECISION
Post by: Jrand74 on December 13, 2022, 07:51:42 PM
Nor much on tv tonight.

I watched the last two episodes of The Way Down on HBO....the 5-part series about Gwen Shamblin Lara and her Remnant Religious Group.....she died in an airplane crash in May, 2021.  Her husband Joe Lara (Tarzan in a tv series) was piloting the plane.

The final NTSB report has not be made....but it seems that he wasn't really skilled enough to be piloting the private jet....and that it was overweight with the luggage on board.  All 7 folks aboard were Remnant officials and were flying to Florida for a MAGA event.

The plane crashed about 18 minutes after taking off diving head first into a lake where the water is about 8 feet deep....

Two and half of the episodes were completed when the crash occurred.....the rest of episode three and two more episodes were produced afterwards.

I keep seeing ads for the movie about Whitney Houston and the woman playing her looks so OLD.....I remember when Whitney burst on the scene.

She was young and vibrant and a revelation and she couldn't be stopped......I don't think this can be captured in a movie with an actress that is about 15 years too old.....Whitney Houston was too unique and one of a kind to be imitated.
Title: Re: THE NEW BOOK DECISION

TOD:

Meh!  I haven't seen much of anything, I fear.  Most of the titles up for the Yellow Globs I have read about but not seen.  I barely recognize the names of nominated actors.

On the other hand, I love to watch old movies and love many that, in my opinion, have outlasted/outlustered/outclassed some that won Oscars in their respective years. 

Awards, shmawards!

Are those fanciful ones ever made to actually crack nuts, or are they always only decorative?  Just curious.

I send an email tonight to a friend back in Connecticut whose husband died some years back. She had given us some of his dress jackets. I told her that we still wear them and that we think of them every time we do. She wrote right back and was delighted.

That's so sweet!

A co-worker once gave me one that was allegedly functional, along with a bag of nuts to crack.  Would you believe it wouldn't crack a single one of the nuts (walnuts, if I remember correctly)? Ah, well.

Post by: George on December 13, 2022, 08:16:13 PM
Nor much on tv tonight.

I watched the last two episodes of The Way Down on HBO....the 5-part series about Gwen Shamblin Lara and her Remnant Religious Group.....she died in an airplane crash in May, 2021.  Her husband Joe Lara (Tarzan in a tv series) was piloting the plane.

The final NTSB report has not be made....but it seems that he wasn't really skilled enough to be piloting the private jet....and that it was overweight with the luggage on board.  All 7 folks aboard were Remnant officials and were flying to Florida for a MAGA event.

The plane crashed about 18 minutes after taking off diving head first into a lake where the water is about 8 feet deep....

Two and half of the episodes were completed when the crash occurred.....the rest of episode three and two more episodes were produced afterwards.

Oh, my goodness! :-\
