Well, you've read the notes, the notes were written on a page that is no longer blank, and now it is time for you to post until the blank cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: REINFORCE!
-
Topic of the Day: we always go to my mom's for Christmas Eve, and we do our gift exchanging there. Then on Christmas day (late morning/early afternoon), we go to my sister's and usually have finger-foodstuffs.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
And 49 Guests.
-
Slept pretty well, actually.
-
Would have loved to sleep in just a few hours longer, but I'll take it.
-
I have a work shift today.

-
Good morning, all!
-
I slept poorly. Some of it was the usual assorted neuropathy and joint aches, but the remainder was the fallout of grisly mess that took me an hour to clean up.
-
I plan to take it very easy today.
-
I have just opened a small stack of seasonal greeting cards received in the mail.
-
And now there is microscopic glitter.
-
Everywhere.

If you signed yearbooks like this:
2 good

Please note: It's time to schedule your colonoscopy.

Good morning, all.

Some people have way too much time on their hands. And thank you.
-
About nine hours of sleep. That’s good.

Yum!

Am I just a dirty old man?
-
AITA?
-
Is that a flame, or are you just happy to see me?
-
I’m thinking I should stir.
-
Like a martini.
-
But first …
-
Let’s get off this page.
-
Onward!

Teo!

Tonight is the office party. All tribute bands. With names like The Stonez.

Good morning, all.
-
I have nothing, either.
I had a solid sleep that was cut short by a stupid irritating and repeating dream, but the sleep did a world of good after the exhaustion I was feeling yesterday.
-
DR Jeanne, thank you for the birthday wishes!
-
When I first heard about The Whale it seemed like something I might be interested in seeing, but the more I hear about it, the less the interest.
-
I must run a couple of errands this morning -- stop at the bank (maybe I'll rob it) and put gas in the automobile (after which I shall duly report today's price, which just might have dipped below $3.00) -- and then relax and get myself up for another closin' tonight.

Like Blonde, it seems to be a great performance trapped in a less-than-great movie.
-
I’m finishing up a romance called Funny You Should Ask, which was billed as a LOL novel. Since I could use some laughs, I gave it a shot. No, I haven’t laughed once. But it is at least engaging.
-
It is snowing here.
Quelle surprise.
-
One load of laundry in. I swapped things in the bedroom to the other side of the bed so I won’t be using my left hand after the surgery.
-
I'm up, I'm up - seven hours of sleep.
-
It is snowing here.
My sympathies.
-
More cleaning to do.
-
Hello, 41 Guests.
-
Do you have the whole week off from work next week, DR John G.?
-
I certainly hope so.

Penguin!

Monday and Tuesday, but I don’t have to go in for the next two weeks.

$2.37 on Thursday, but now it’s colder, prices have gone up.

I am glad to know that penguins speak French. I think it is fitting.
-
Let me say this about Brendan Fraser:
He, at the very least, deserved a supporting actor nomination for "Gods and Monsters".
-
It's a cold, gray late Fall day in Johnston SC.
Just the kind of day for a nice fire, some soup and a nap.
-
I am very entertained by the dolls doing Turkey Lurkey......
-
Good morning!

I have almost always enjoyed Fraser. Crash was an exception. I enjoyed nothing about that movie.

But DR John G. wins by a long shot.

I think I enjoy HBO Max more for their old movies than new. I watched "Great Expectations" earlier and am now watching "Hobson's Choice."
-
DR singdaw:
You posted yesterday evening about listening to The Hours.
I think you told us this earlier, but where is it available to hear? I never did get to the movie theeder for it.
-
Saturday afternoon greetings! We are watching the Cincinnati Bearcats in the Fenway Bowl.
-
Enjoying Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile as a children’s movie.
-
In the attic where Lyle lives, there’s a poster for Joseph…Dreamcoat.
-
From Vixmom:
My insurance wont pay for drugs available OTC
Wow, not even for generic drugs when you are on it long term. Over the counter are meant to be used a couple of weeks at a time.
-
I am lucky my insurance pays for my generic Protonix.
-
From George:
And speaking of nutcrackers...People shocked to discover what nutcrackers are actually for. :D
;D
-
If I think about it I rarely see bowls of nuts sitting out with any kind of nutcracker.
-
I remember this style was the most popular.

My new tests arrived in the mail today

Popping a nut into the mouth of a wooden soldier nutcracker was always a special treat.

Today, I'm taking my car in to the dealer for its first servicing.
-
And yesterday, I FINALLY was able to talk to an insurance agent who was able to get the ball rolling on getting my window fixed.
-
He apologized for the other agent not calling me back after I called and left messages TWICE! :o
-
And then, we have a show tonight that my sister will come to see.
-
But now, I need to shower, get dressed, and hie myself to the dealers for the aforementioned servicing.
Until later!
-
I love their pasta!
-
And yesterday, I FINALLY was able to talk to an insurance agent who was able to get the ball rolling on getting my window fixed.
Finally!
-

I hope you get to continue working with this agent.
-
You posted yesterday evening about listening to The Hours.
I think you told us this earlier, but where is it available to hear? I never did get to the movie theeder for it.
If you have a device with the BBC app, it is archived on the "Opera on 3" channel until early January.

Thank goodness for that.

Love that squirrel nutcracker.

Contemplating his next crime...
-
Good afternoon.
-
I think my days of decorated sugar cookies are coming to an end.
-
The candy canes are a disaster.
-

:)
-
Contemplating his next crime...
I love this.
-
I’m about to take a pumpkin pie out of the oven.
-
The candy canes are a disaster.
I prefer colored sugar to frosting anyway ;)
-
The kids love them. They take so much time, and I am sooooo messy.
-
Are you giving them the disaster candy canes?
-
No cookies this year.
-
I'll give them to the kids next door and tell them they are my failures. I'm not doing any more this year.
-
Now that I think about it, I have a different brand of powdered egg whites than I have used in the past. I just can't get the consistency right. The icing is too fluffy.
-
Back from a fun birthday breakfast at Art's with Robert Yacko - actual birthday is Tuesday.
-
Nothing at the mail place.
-
At the mail place, nothing.
-
I think she of the Evil Eye is done or almost done.
-
Omaha Steaks package has not arrived, which I was hoping would be the case. It's due by end of day, but the window was actually nine to three, so hopefully by three it will arrive.
-
I may have one hot dog to see how that is. I think I'll try grilling it in a frying pan, although I've never done that before. I assume you split it and grill each side until done, whenever that may be.
-
I did stop at Gelson's and got some Vernor's Zero Sugar ginger ale - it was cheap, actually. I need stamps - guess I'll check Amazon for prices.
-
I just saw for the first time the images on Trump's NFT cards. I cannot believe the utter tackiness and stupidity of the images - a thin DJT? - any more than I can believe fools actually paid $99 for a set of them.
-
And that's about it for now and for now that's about it.
-
They did NOT pay 99 bucks for a set - they paid it for a single card, and when you know that they don't actually get a physical card, they get a digital card, you know just what a sham of a scam this really is. People's stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

Yes, and it's very good that way. :D
-
Up from a nap. Much needed.
-
Time to shower before getting ready for the party.
-
Word is that Mom is doing much better at her physical therapy. That’s a huge relief.
-
Package has arrived - steaks, burgers, chicken, hot dogs, and some kind of potato stuff. All frozen. I've put two steaks and the hot dogs in the fridge for defrosting. How long does that usually take? Or can you defrost in the microwave?

I've defrosted frozen hot dogs in the microwave. I just make sure to either use the defrost button (check your owner's manual for details), or a low/half power setting and check it often.

Great news about your mom, DR John G.
-
This
plumb icing is too ripe fluffy!!!

Sorry!

A little Jones & Schmidt humor.

I'll give them to the kids next door and tell them they are my failures. I'm not doing any more this year.
I am sure they will appreciate the failures though I know the feeling of disappointment after all your hard work.
-
I got a few of the things on my list done today.
-
I did not bake any cookies, however.
-
Now that I think about it, I have a different brand of powdered egg whites than I have used in the past. I just can't get the consistency right. The icing is too fluffy.
Oh, the problem was with the icing not the cookie. Never having made cookie icing I didn't realize it was made with powdered egg whites.

What, for a digital card they can take off of the internet. OMG :))

Thank goodness. May she continue to improve!

So have I since I didn't go to the gym.
-
Page Six!
-
At 37 degrees outside Keith doesn't want to walk this afternoon.

I could go by myself.

I still have a lot of work to do inside so I will not exercise today.

At least Tom is still my friend.

[remember Tom from MySpace?]
-
Having a sandwich for afternoon food. Why not? Defrosting, I'm sure, will be done by tomorrow and I'll make a hot dog or one of the teeny-tiny steaks.

You're not gonna believe this, but - welcome 169 GUESTS!

That really cool!

Definitely a Christmas blessing!

We have assembled our Christmas tree and put the lights on. Tomorrow we’ll start on the ornaments.

You're not gonna believe this, but - welcome 169 GUESTS!
WOW!
-
One of my nutcrackers
Cool, and a bit scar ;D Does it work?
-
I'm zonked.
-
I'm knackered.
-
I've burnt the candle at both ends.
-
I'm past my prime.
-
I've given up the ghost.
-
I've overstayed my welcome.
-
I'm out of sorts.
-
And I didn't have any spare sorts to begin with.
-
But I reached page seven!
-
Good night, friends.
-
I accomplished much today but not enough.
-
'night
-
I assume the nutcracker works, Jane. But it hasn’t been anything but a knickknack for several decades.
-
The company party is fairly lackluster. The food was odd. The music is good, not outstanding. The country act is playing too long. And people are leaving. We will, too, soon.
-
But, but - page eight is waiting in the wings.
-
As am I.
-
Two movies watched.
-
That's one more than one.
-
I'm gonna start a third but won't finish it.
-
I’m home. Not a memorable evening.
-
But nothing to complain too much about.
-
Finishing up Small Things Like These, another short Claire Keegan book. It’s a Christmas book that was up for the Booker Prize this year. I read it last year. Listening to it is equally beautiful, heartbreaking and hopeful.
-
Good night, all.
-
Everyone has disappeared into the ether.
-
Well, not everyone - we do have 135 GUESTS with us. Surely one of them can sign up and make a post or twelve.
-
But the writing is on the wall.
-
I hate when there's writing on a wall - so messy and hard to remove.
-
Surely page eight will make an entrance one of these fine days.
-
Well, nights - day is done.
-
But the night is not.
-
Not by a long shot, baby.
-
Not even by a short shot.
-
Nor a medium shot.
-
Okay, is someone trying to gaslight on a Saturday night?
-
We should have been on page eight ages ago.
-
Something is awry.
-
Askew.
-
Akimbo.
-
Okay, seriously, gaslighting 101.
-
At long last, page eight has made its star entrance.
-
Everyone has disappeared into the ether.
I'm home...finally.
-
But the writing is on the wall.
I love that song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L9fsdU9E8o). ;D
-
We had a good show tonight.
-
Not a large-ish crowd, but filled with friends and the friendly.
-
Tomorrow, we have two performances.
-
Well, this is a really good feel-good story:
A chef changed the name of his restaurant from his nonbinary child's deadname to their current name — and business is booming (http://www.insider.com/chef-named-new-restaurant-after-his-nonbinary-childs-new-name-2022-12). :)
-
No, TCB, no George, no page nine.
-
And you know that page nine is waiting in the wings.
-
As am I.
-
Welcome, seventy-six GUESTS. Hope you brought seventy-six trombones.
-
George has gone down a rabbit hole.
-
I have not.
-
I'm still here.
-
I'm also there.
-
Not sure page nine will be making its entrance.
-
Then again, you never know, do you?
-
Surprises happen.
-
George might come out of the rabbit hole and post.
-
Although that now seems unlikely.
-
Oh well.
-
Well oh.
-
I can tell you this:
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I have personally seen them.
-
Have you?
-
I've not only seen them, I've read them.
-
They were a nice time passer.
-
Enter page nine!
-
I was engaging in my evening ablutions.
-
And now, I have finished.
-
And I watched a bit of The Meidas Touch (https://www.youtube.com/@MeidasTouch). These guys are practicing lawyers and know what they're talking about. :)
-
I've taught those boys a thing or two. They used to open every video with "a breaking bombshell news alert" - I told them to knock it off because not everything is a breaking bombshell news alert. I posted that five or six times, and they finally took my advice and only use it now if there truly is a breaking bombshell news alert.
