Well, you've read the notes, the notes had words regarding the folly of today, and now it is time for you to post until the folly of the cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: ENDORSE!
-
Welcome, 111 GUESTS!
-
Topic of the Day: ugh. :P
Fortunately, I've never had to deal with anything like that. I've just read about what others have had to go through.

Many theater people have a soft spot for “The Light in the Piazza”.
Adam Guettel has not had a musical since that one, in 2005.
-
I think that people are excited about the reunion of Adam Guettel, Craig Lucas, and Kelli O’Hara for “Days of Wine And Roses”.
Brian d’Arcy James is usually excellent as well.
-
I don’t see Kelli O’Hara as Mrs. Lovett.
However, I’m not totally sure about Annaleigh Ashford either.
-
It remains to be seen.
Will Josh Groban be a powerful Sweeney Todd?
Great voice, but who knows?
-
Post deleted. 😊
-
I really enjoy Twitter.
Brilliant people in all fields, theater, music, science, journalism, chefs, gardening, political figures, nature enthusiasts, etc.
I choose the people with whom I wish to engage in conversation, and I learn so much, share laughter and compassion, and hope that Elon Musk never succeeds in his desire to destroy it.
-
The best part is if someone is abusive or totally irritating, it is possible to block them.
You will never have to deal with that person again.
-
Congrats, bk, on finishing the book.
I look forward to learning more about it.
-
Wishing everyone a happy Monday, and a great start to your week. 🌻
-
Oh, before I forget…
DR VIXMOM, there is a lovely and touching article in the Sunday New York Times Opinion section about “Pictures From Home”.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I may be completely screwed today. My cell phone is acting up. It has days in which I discover that the battery does not hold its charge. This has happened twice before, but it's usually b een fine for 4-6 weeks before the next bout. Because I hate getting out and about, I've ignored getting to a Verizon store to deal with the problem.
-
So . . . this morning at 4:00 on a bathroom break, I checked the time on the cell phone. It was dead after being charged at 6:00 last night. I plugged it back into its charger, and it's still charging. I have no idea if this is the end of my current cell phone or if it will work today. If it doesn't, I must cancel my appointment and AAR, since I cann ot get their text messages on a dead phone.
-
I am not happy. No, I am not happy.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Best of luck with the phone, Elmore.
-
It remains to be seen.
Will Josh Groban be a powerful Sweeney Todd?
Great voice, but who knows?
I’m more concerned about Groban’s acting skills than anything. I think Ashford can do practically anything after Dot and Kinky Boots.
-
Wordle and Phoodle in 3.
-
I want more sleep. But I must work.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
I cancelled my Twitter account. Anything that monetizes Elon is not something I can support.
Mind you, this is my personal choice. I am not advocating for anyone else; that is their personal choice.
-
And with the rise of hate speech on that platform, there has been a commensurate rise in physical attacks on marginalized communities.
-
CONGRATULATIONS on your winning$, DR George!!
-
Sorry about your phone, DR elmore3003.

One more.

I don't see the point of arguing with strangers on the Internet. You're not going to change their minds, or even educate them. They don't want to see a different viewpoint. It just leads to tsuris. Much better to just scroll on by.
-
Well, the phone is fully charged - again! - and we'll see how ling it lasts. I will stop at Verizon this week and have the check it out. If it dies while I am on East 22nd Street, I'm screwed: NI will need to find a taxi in the rain and the ride will cost me around $30.00.
-
DR George, what fantastic luck at the casino. Good for you!
-
My morning has boded no good for leaving the apartment: spills, cat vomit, a truly gross litter box, dropping objects. I hope the day improves.
-
DR vixmom, to comment further on the illustrator issue: I liked the work your suggested artist did, but he was positive about the job but seemed uninterested in reading anything I'd written, and I really wanted to see what he might do before I confirmed him. I wanted someone with a real sense of humor and whimsy with a real feel for Manhattan apartment life. I really wanted Hilary Knight.
I liked more the work of Andy Marlette, a political cartoonist, who loved what I'd written. Then the publisher announced, after pushing for illustrations, that he had no money for an illustrator (and God knows I don't!), and Andy stopped responding.
-
DR elmore3003 - I met a guy on Mastodon who does drawings, but if there's no budget for an illustrator, I guess it's a moot point.
-
Larry, I hope your day improves, and your phone is working again.
-
Guess I’ve been lucky with Twitter. Have not encountered hate speech so far, and those with whom
I interact are intelligent and have great senses of humor. Might be because I don’t spend a great deal
of time there, so have managed to escape its negative aspects.
-
George, congrats on your casino good luck!

TOD:
It's a problem....created by stupid people.....who don't want to know anything except what they think they know....which is usually wrong.
And of course with the inner web - everyone thinks he is an expert on everything.
MR BK's example is typical but certainly almost psychotic.

Good morning, all.

Oh, man. It seems to be a Monday. In many respects.

I’m mad for that big band beat
Wanna ride in a rumble seat.
Sheldon’s got the Chevy.

I’m feeling rather wack.

As in wack-a-mole.
-
Welp. In addition to certain other signs that it's a Monday...
It's SN*W*NG.
-
Big wet flakes, probably started as a mix.
It's already sticking to the ground and on leaves. It's supposed to continue for another few hours and not accumulate more than an inch on roads.
Of course I'd like even less than that on my driveway. (Yeah, keep dreaming.)
-
DR GEORGE kin I borry five dollars?
Umm... ::)

Congratulations on winning big, George!
Thanks, John!

DR JOHN G I was also born in a year of the Tiger.....but not the same YEAR of the TIGER.

The Year of the Rabbit starts on Jan. 25.

DR George, congratulations on your win last night, and exciting evening.
-
DR TCB I am sorry you are needing the oxygen on a daily basis again. Sending vibes you can regain those improvements.
-
From George:
It's actually hot-linked from Red Wind's very own website! Really and truly!
At first I thought you were joking about not taking the photo.
-
DR JANE I think I will skip the store.....and the buns.....
I figured as much ;D

DR George, congratulations on your win last night, and exciting evening.

TOD:
1. Many years ago I was forced out of a chat room because they said I hated gays because I disliked "Rent."
2. A couple weeks ago I made up a recipe of rice chex, pretzels, and M&Ms, then melted some almond bark and mixed it in. It's called "white trash." I was told I was racist.
-
I have a zoom meeting this morning. As I always say, no one needs to know what's in my coffee mug.
-
Randy Rainbow has a new song out.
-
I tend to keep a low profile out there in the wilds of Facebook. That doesn't mean I won't correct or challenge someone on something, but I don't press on any further than that. And I leave differences of opinion completely alone. Or mostly alone. I think. I think I do. I mean, more or less.
BK's example, and Laura's example, and a multitude of others, show how dangerous it is to say just about anything among people you don't know and who don't know you, or any other situation in which a basic understanding can't be easily attained.
-
Monday afternoon greetings!
Randy Rainbow has a new song out.
Using one of my favorites from Les Miz!
-
TOD - my general rule is “Do Not Engage.” I keep my posts pretty bland.

Except for a jerk driver on my way home, Access-a-Ride went very smoothly. My phone is behaving at the moment, but I still need a trip to Verizon.

And I've made my tax appointment for March 13. My accountant for the past 30 years is dropping all of his tax clients, and I am very pissed about it. My new tax man is Art Davis with Taxmasters.
-
DR Jrand72, for your side-eyed collection:
-
I'm up, i'm up - almost seven hours of sleep and had a surprisingly early phone call from Muse Margaret because she cleared her morning to finish the book. And I'm happy to say she loved everything in the last ninety pages save for one tiny sentence that I immediately removed while talking to her. She said I made her cry, and while I don't find the book sad, there are touching things in it and those are the trickiest to write, especially with this book. But I was most happy with her loving the two major episodes that are in the last twenty pages of the book - both of which I knew would be there from the start and both of which I could not wait to write. So, now the book goes to the proofers.
-
Gracious post 101!

Or not. Who’s counting?

Keith was fine with the word today. He didn't care for the word yesterday. He got it, just didn't like it.

Personally I don't think the Razzie awards are very nice.

What a relief!

I controlled the brightness of my OverDrive books directly on OverDrive.

With Libby it is connected to my setting on my tablet.
-
Last night when I turned the light down at bedtime it also turned down the light on my Libby books, even dimmer than it is with OverDrive.
-
So much better :)

Yes. As over-the-top as he was, he was also supposedly accurate. So, I never want yo see the movie again because of him. But Col. Tom was apparently as weird as a carnival freak.
-
Yup. I watched a video of Parker after watching the movie and felt Hanks captured him well.

While watching the movie I found Hanks annoying-lol

Had a batch of Wacky Noodles for food earlier. Not a great batch due to having not quite enough milk for it so it was a little heavy.

Tried to find something to watch - well, nothing. Last night, I did watch The Sting on Netflix and it's the new transfer which is really nice. I'll talk about it in the notes.

Just now, I had a Jack in the Box taco and onion rings for my evening whatever it is.

OK, I figured out the problem with the oxygen. I was trying to save money on that stupid trilogy prescription by taking it every other day. Apparently that doesn’t work however, I had $175. It sounded like a good thing to try.

So, you have to take it every day? Or not at all?
