DR vixmom, that was an amazing flashback to 1975. The New York City Gay Men's Chorus went to Europe in the 1980s. I dide not go, but my memory is that in some cities the chorus members were guests of the gay men's chorus in that city. One of the4 cities in which the NYCGMC performed was Cologne.

Post by: elmore3003 on December 29, 2022, 05:01:37 AM
When the chorus returned to New York, a chorus member, whose name I no longer remember, asked me if I knew a Gary Holt, who was his host in Cologne. Gary had seen my name in the concert program and asked if that person had gone to school with him at Miami University. Well, I had indeed. The last time I had seen Gary was in early June 1971, when he played cello for a wedding song I had written for my roommate's wedding.

I should like to announce that I just assembled, and stuffed into my pie hole, a delicious egg and cheese sandwich on a lightly toasted hard roll.

No breakfast meats, but it was the last roll left over from something, and I could not have put it to better use.

That’s a Portuguese hard roll, for those unfamiliar with some of the default foodstuffs of the northeastern U.S.  Best breakfast sandwich carrier ever. And no, they’re not actually hard. They have a wonderful texture.

I just read an alarming report about an immense increase in dogs being admitted to emergency clinics due to cannabis poisoning. With the advent of dispensaries, people carelessly throw their used joint butts on the street, where they are gobbled up by unsuspecting dogs being walked by their unsuspecting owners.

It has always bothered me a lot to see smokers polluting; now, even more so.

We can't figure out where Keith got it since we go almost everywhere together.  He wears a surgical mask while I wear an KF94 that fits better.  On planes and when we travel he wears his KF94.

I should like to announce that I just assembled, and stuffed into my pie hole, a delicious egg and cheese sandwich on a lightly toasted hard roll.

No breakfast meats, but it was the last roll left over from something, and I could not have put it to better use.

So, Marco's Pizza - literally a quarter of a mile from my house. Have ordered via DoorDash from there at least twenty times. So, I go to place the order and it's trying to charge an extra 1.49 for extended range delivery. I call. I get people who don't know why, don't understand what I'm talking about, hang up on me, and finally to shut me up just issue me a 5.00 credit. So, I use it and place my order. Normally, it shows up in fifteen minutes. But not this time. Then I can see the Dasher is on his way here - on the FREEWAY. Say what? Then I actually look at the store location and it's one in Tarzana, about ten MILES from here. Say what? I have no idea why it would do that, when it's never done that before. I called the nearby Marco's and told them they might want to check and see why that happened, as it may happen to others. Thankfully, the pizza was still hot.

If something seems high I suggest comparing the Amazon price to the product website.  Look for items that are bargains on Amazon vs high.  See's candy is ridiculous on Amazon.  Of course I realize you wanted to get something special with the gift card and splurged :)
