Well, you've read the notes, the notes were pastoral and in English, and now it is time for you to post until the pastoral cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: DEACON!
-
Notes viewed. Acknowledged.
-
Can vouch for the Bud Cort/Joe Allen experience, as I was there!
-
Also at a nearby table was Dan Lauria from Wonder Years and Lombardi on Broadway.
-
I forgot to mention Shock Treatment as one of my very favorite ‘80s movies. While it has never built a cult anywhere near the size of Rocky Horror, to me it holds up way better.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I slept quite well. Annabelle slept beside me all night, Stella syopped by for a cuddle or two, and then Thatch showed up around 4:00 and curled up next to me.
-
This is a ballet day. I need to turn the next number into a 1920s tango, so I need to work on piano-stave paper rather than an orchestra page. I've got today and tomorrow to sketch out something I like. On Thursday, I will go to Staples and scan it.
-
DR Jrand72, I loved the quickie story.
-
I am very happy to learn that DR WFO is home.
-
;)
-
Good morning, all.
-
Tired.
-
Wordle 5, Phoodle 2.
-
There is white stuff on the ground
-
I should perhaps go move it
-
Good morning, friends.
-
So I’ll Wordle and shovel
-
Anyone have any good rabbit puns? 8)
-
Huzzah for WFO!!!!!!!
-
And huzzah for DR George as well, on finishing his big project.

We have 5 or 6 inches, so far, and opinions are varied on when it will stop enough that the plowing and snow blowing can begin. There are also bits of freezing rain or sleet which makes it trickier.

My sympathies.

Made it through traffic to physical therapy on time.
-
It should be fun. The finger is not happy.
-
Onward!
-
Two!
-
Loved the rabbit jokes, Vixmom.
-
But what’s new with the gnu?
-
Physical therapy was no fun. Lots of wincing because the index finger was stiff.
-
therapy vibes for DR JOHN G.
-
Congrats to DR GEORGE on his running water - crossed or not.
-
Thanks to DR VIXMOM for the WFO news report.
-
My CDs are here!
I am enjoying the London Cast of How to...... And I really love the World Record Club cover version. I had forgotten that was included. Very Nice!!!
Of course I thought my contract said my name should be the same size as the title, but I could be wrong.
-
I loved the notes!!!!

DR George, congrats on your new, non leaking, vanity.
-
And congrats that the cold & hot come out of the correct taps.
-
Fun photo DR John :)
-
YAY for DR WFO! May he recover and stay home this time.
-
Can vouch for the Bud Cort/Joe Allen experience, as I was there!
Lucky you.
-
I should perhaps go move it
Have fun.
-
Should I have included rolling eyes with that comment.
-
It should be fun. The finger is not happy.
:(
-
DR Jane and I are unhappy that the finger is unhappy.
-
We need more Happy Talk.

A South Pacific reference.

In case anyone is keeping track.

In case anyone is keeping track.
I’d rather keep track than run track.

The neighbor did a fine job plowing the heavy wet
sh* - I mean sn*w - and we did a lot of cleanup with the shovels, and some salting and sanding.
DONE - with this storm, I hope.
Now we have to see what they have in store for us on Friday. A little mix, I think, and I hope not too much because some of us have places to go, things to do, people to see.
-
Dang blizzard up in here.
-
Where are you now Rodzinski? ( if you don't mind disclosing that info
-
We onky had about 3 inches but it was wet and HEAVY
-
I was standing on my front path, about 6 feet from.the street and a huge plow went by so fast in hit me with the slush, covered me head to toe
-
Fortunately i was in my snow shoveling gear at the time , not on my way to leave for work
-
I am glad I wasn't clearing the sidewalk by the street or I would have been hurt
-
Yikes, DR vixmom.
-
Good morning.
-
Ya'll are reminding me why I live in Arizona.
-
Sometimes I forget in May, June, July, August, and September.
-
Only two other people logged in for our noon zoom meeting. So we had to reschedule for next week.
-
I have another zoom meeting for a different group tonight. There is one phrase that is used where I play the drinking game. We'll see how many swigs I take tonight.
-
I always say, no one needs to know what's in your coffee cup in a zoom meeting.
-
Zoom meetings are the only time I have alcohol any more. Because, Zoom meetings.
-
Sn*w survival vibes for those in the area.
-
The TOD reminds me of Danny Peary's book Cult Movies - I think there are three volumes.
Highly recommended reading. That is where I first earned about THE FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL.
DP was mos complimentary about MR BK's directing/writing/acting - and the photos used made me determined to see the movie someone way or another. And about 1/2 later, I found a used VHS copy at a record store -PEACHES, I think.
-
I like to play the drinking game while watching ON PATROL LIVE and COPS.
My secret word is "hands."
-
Well there is only ONE Robert Morse - but Warren Berlinger is really good on this London recording!
-
The liner notes are great!
-
After the meeting, I discovered that the back door was ajar. I couldn't find Leonard in his usual places, so I looked outside in the backyard. I heard some yowling, and he was yowling at the feral black cat that lives in the yard. Luckily, I was able to catch him and bring him back inside. I knew I had the right black cat, because, well, Leonard is chunky. The feral black cat -- Queenie -- is kinda skinny.
-
(Waiting for the punch line about how it still turned out to be the wrong cat and all hell broke loose...)
-
Here's another Westwood photo from July 1975. You can see LOVE AND DEATH playing at the Regent and NASHVILLE at the Village. I had forgotten that Lums was so prominent there. Click to enlarge for your viewing pleasure.
So which camera store did that beautiful signage belong to? That wasn't Bel Air, was it, on Broxton? Weren't they on Westwood? Or did they move? I do seem to recall a change they made at some point - and I don't mean their ultimate move to where the National had stood.
Speaking of moving, wasn't the Westwood Book Store also in this block on that side of the street? Before their own deadly move over to Gayley?

It helps to have someone do the initial plowing.

That was not nice. I hope you had snow clothes on.
-

That is a relief.
-

That is longer than the cold season ;)
-
Zoom meetings are the only time I have alcohol any more. Because, Zoom meetings.
LOL, I thought you were joking about the alcohol. I think it is great you indulge during the meetings.
-
Vixmom, that is scary, and I'm glad it turned out okay. Getting hit full force with that stuff could be really dangerous.

It is always scary when you realize the cat escaped. I am glad he was easy to catch.
-
PEACHES, I think.
Not CRANBERRIES?
-
DR George, Menards has the "Little Giant" sump pump on sale. In case you feel like doing any more plumbing. 8)

Great books! Though I’ve never found Vol. 3. So many films I learned about from reading those. And so many cult films now forgotten, like Deep End. Peary was on point about Paramount fumbling Nudie Musical in an effort to protect their family franchise.
-
I myself wouldn't get in spitting distance of a wrench.
-
FOUR.
-
Where are you now Rodzinski? ( if you don't mind disclosing that info
I’ll give clues. I am in the U.S., but I am not *of* the U.S.
-
As I was reading posts the internet went down. Came back up ten minutes later, finished reading and was about to post and it went down again
-
The first summer I lived in Manhattan, 1979, the Beacon Theatre had a Cult Film Festival. I do not remember now all that I saw, but I did see The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, Bambi Meets Godzilla, and Schlock.
-
I used to own all the Peary cult movie books. They went out in 2008 during the bedbug mess. I wish I had them now.
-
DR Elmore introduced me to an insane cult movie with Allen Garfield. Do you remember that thing? Not sure how big the cult is, but that was a jaw-dropper. I gotta look up the title.
-
Anyway, I am up I’m up, nine hours of sleep.
-
I called spectrum and it will be what it will be all services down in this area for heaven knows how long.
-
Very very annoying.
-
So I’m making these posts by using the microphone on my telephone and it’s working very well.
-
Not my telephone my iPhone that’s what’s working very well by shutting off the Wi-Fi
-
Just came back on. Hopefully, it will stay that way. No rain today, so no excuse and we never lost the Internet even during the worst of the rain.
-
Using the mic to dictate posts is really easy, I must say.
-
And have said.
-
I don't see a way to do that on the big boy computer.
-
You CAN text using the mic thing on the big boy computer, but not here, not that I cn see anyway.
-
“Cry Uncle!” starring Garfield. Directed by John G. Avildsen.
-
;)
(http://www.haineshisway.com/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=7156.0;attach=16553)
I love it!
-
Internet vibes for MR BK.
-
Before the inner web, there used to be a lot of interesting well written books about films new & used.
Now that everybody can post his ideas on the internet - there's so much less scholarship involved.....and truth.
-
Nobody in this one-horse town will change the battery in my SMART CAR because it's not "under the hood."
I forgot my nephew works on cars - so he's going to put it in on Thursday. I did find out that a new battery will cost me $209 - base price.
I'm getting a new one because I don't know exactly how old this battery is.....
-
A Dealership wouldn’t do it?
-
DR Elmore introduced me to an insane cult movie with Allen Garfield. Do you remember that thing? Not sure how big the cult is, but that was a jaw-dropper. I gotta look up the title.
"Say Uncle" or something like that?
-
TOD 2:
Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
How could I have forgotten the greatest movie ever made?
-
And huzzah for DR George as well, on finishing his big project.
Thanks, Singdaw!
-
EXCEPT...there was a (small) puddle of water under the sink in the cabinet! :o
-
As someone said, Cry Uncle is the title - I saw it at the Vogue Theater, if memory serves. Mr Garfield, at that time, was dating my friend Dee Dee Siegler from LACC - she would, just one year later, marry my cousin Alan Feinberg. Such are the labyrinthine ways of things.
-
Good evening!
-
Wordle: 3/6
-
Went to the mail place and thankfully picked up two important envelopes.
-
PAGE FIVE DANCE!!
-
I think it leaked because one join doesn't have a rubber gasket.
-
Got a Subway spicy Eyetalian sandwich - very good. Seems like the meat gets less and less, unless they shortchanged me, but it was still good and probably less calories without the full compliment of meat. I do like their salami and pepperoni and said hello to both - that's called a meat and greet. We don't allow groaning here at haineshisway.com.
-
I'm pretty sure that I remember seeing the gaskets for sale on their own, so it shouldn't be a problem to fix it...hopefully.
-
A rubber gasket is very important in life. I keep one in my bedside table drawer in case I should need one during the night.
-
A tisket a tasket, we need a rubber gasket.
-
This day is flying by, as has this month, thanks to the idiocy of February being so short.
-
I'd like to kick February in the nether regions.
-
Congrats to DR GEORGE on his running water - crossed or not.
Thanks, Jrand!
-
DR George, congrats on your new, non leaking, vanity.
And congrats that the cold & hot come out of the correct taps.
Thanks and thanks, Jane!
-
Zoom meetings are the only time I have alcohol any more. Because, Zoom meetings.
You do whatcha gotta do! :))

DR George, Menards has the "Little Giant" sump pump on sale. In case you feel like doing any more plumbing. 8)
Fortunately, I don't have any need for a sump pump, but thanks for the tip, Singdaw. ;)
-

They can have many uses.

-
So I’m making these posts by using the microphone on my telephone and it’s working very well.
DR TCB is this how you post?
-
We don't allow groaning here at haineshisway.com.
Why not?
-
I ask you.
-
Sometimes a good groan is what is required.
-
A GG, as it were.
-
A Dealership wouldn’t do it?
I was thinking the same thing.
-
EXCEPT...there was a (small) puddle of water under the sink in the cabinet! :o
Darn.
-
DR Jrand did you nephew say changing the battery will more difficult ?
-
I'm pretty sure that I remember seeing the gaskets for sale on their own, so it shouldn't be a problem to fix it...hopefully.
Fingers crossed the gaskets you want are conveniently located, and it will be an easy fix.
-
Zoom meetings are the only time I have alcohol any more. Because, Zoom meetings.
You do whatcha gotta do! :))
;D
-
I am just about to go on a Zoom meeting, actually.
-
So perhaps I will have a mug.
-
I'll say, "Laura sent me."
-

-
And I won't be responsible for anything I might say.
-
;D

SIX.

DR John, I think you should tell your dancing teacher that you all want to learn this dance:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXaQpvfWe9Y&list=RDaXaQpvfWe9Y&start_radio=1
-
I won’t dance.
-
For a minute I thought Allen Garfield (Goorwitz) married BK’s cousin. But no, his cousin married Garfield’s ex.
-
Garfield was like a guy made for cult movies.
-
Greetings, Get to Know Your Rabbit, Putney Swope, Slither, Get Crazy, The Stunt Man…

I was wondering if it was difficult to keep those big smiles while dancing.

Learned a new word from Aftertaste, Season 1.
Cockwomble.
Noun. cockwomble (countable and uncountable, plural cockwombles) (UK, slang, derogatory) A foolish or obnoxious person.
-
I love that video DR LAURA.
you seem them all going to their places, but their patterns are almost always different than you would expect!
-
DR JANE I think it will be easy for my nephew to do.
The only official dealership is the Mercedes place in Indianapolis which is WAY UP ON the northside.....miles and miles away. The car is certainly out of any kind of warranty.....
So we shall see what we shall see.
-
Rubber gaskets are indispensable.
I think Richard the Third said something about them.....offering his kingdom for one.....but I may be thinking of something else.
-
Well it's been a long day.

I would expect car batteries to be easy to install if you are a mechanic.

I’m liking Aftertaste in small portions. Can’t watch more than one half-hour episode at a time, though.

The Zoom was with Daniel, the recipient of one of our first puppies that we raised for Guiding Eyes for the Blind.
It was a wonderful reunion. His current guide dog is named Boon - a black lab.
-
They live in Philadelphia.
-
I'm pretty sure that I remember seeing the gaskets for sale on their own, so it shouldn't be a problem to fix it...hopefully.

Got the gaskets (had to get a 2-pack), but had to go twice because I forgot my wallet the first time. ::) Dopey me!
-
And now, I'm at Subway about to have a ham, egg and cheese breakfast sub on flatbread. ;D
-
My goodness, DR George. If you factored in all the gas and mileage, I wonder how much your plumbing job actually cost? Let alone your personal time.
-
One more.
-
SEVEN!

I'm sure it adds up, but the Home Depot is less than two miles from my house, so I don't mind too much. Also, it's still a f*ck of a lot less than if I had to pay a professional to do any of this.

I forgot to use it in a sentence. Donald Trump is a cockwomble.
-
I am just about to go on a Zoom meeting, actually.
I took a few swigs. How about you?
-
Good night, all.
-
I'm swigging a Sparkling Ice peach nectarine thing.
-
Well, the gasket didn't fit. :P
-
The leaking pipe has a gasket-like end that goes into the other pipe, so hopefully just retightening it will prevent anymore leaks. ::)
-
Re-tightening vibes to DR George!
-
I don't get how we're still on page seven. And not that far either.
-
Well, there's time, I suppose, but not if there are rabbit holes and no TCB. I believe it's been three days since he's appeared here and of course people are concerned.
-

So far, so good.
-

Thanks, Rodzinski!
-
Still on page seven???
-
Let's get over this lazy, hazy thing.
-
Notes are written and I'll just say this - new month and new book revealed.
-
That's right.
-
But not with seven pages.
-
Not at all.
-
We'll have to have more pages than seven.
-
Seven is dullsville, baby.
-
Of course, it seems as if George has gone down his usual late night rabbit hole.
-
TCB ain't showing again.
-
And here I sit, doing the heavy lifting.
-
And apparently I'm being gaslit because there is no way we're actually still on page seven.
-
No possible way.
-
Cannot be.
-
I mean, this is now a joke.
-
See?
-
All you have to do is call out the gaslighters and suddenly we get page eight.
-
Which is unacceptable.
-
Page 8 dreams come true.
-
Well, crap!
-
My desktop computer looks like it's in sleep mode, but it won't unsleep! :o
-
I think I need to force restart it because doing the control-alt-delete on the keyboard did nothing.
-
Wake, computer!
-
Did that help?
-
Not yet. :-\
-
Something's happening.
-
Computers are weird.
-
I’ve had that happen and there is a fix I can’t recall. Which I’m sure is a great help.
-
I held down the power button for a few seconds and it seems to be starting up again.
-
That's the title of my next novel.
-
Page eight is hoping for page nine.
-
It's fun when pages root for each other.
-
Is 8 really going to be it for tonight?
-
New book and first blurb coming in eight minutes.
-
Nay to 8!
-
I'm thinking we can get to page nine.
-
New book and first blurb coming in eight minutes.
Cool!
-
Because page nine is dying to know what the new book is.
-
Nine is the thing!
-
And here we go.
-
Many posts to nine.
-
I'm thinking we can get to page nine.
Nine will be fine!
-
But it can be done.
-
With teamwork.
-
New book news soon!
-
We're close.
-
Nine is fine!
-
We're there.
-
It’s no TEN, but it’s something more than 8.
-
I've been grabbing some lovely classical music from the Tube of You.
-
You'll read about it in the notes.
-
Whew!! I was able to sign into my computer!
-
Coming in five minutes.
-
Whole worlds have been created in five minutes.
-
Glad George got the computer up and running.
-
Gratuitous Post #251!!
-
No fun when computers freeze.
-
No fun at all.
-
Not any fun.
-
Glad George got the computer up and running.
So is George! :D
-
None fun.
-
What the new book could be I have no knowing.
-
All will be revealed, ladies, gentlemen, and guests.
-
Welcome 121 GUESTS.
-
If February weren't three days shorter than January, we would have broken some serious posting records.
-
Two minutes to new notes.
-
A mere two.
-
Computer and sink victories for George!
-
I bet we can get to page ten.
-
I know we can.
-
Computer and sink victories for George!
Thanks, Rodzinski!
-
We are Hainsies, hear us roar.
-
Shouldn’t rent be cheaper in February?
-
Just five more posts should do it.
-
We have one minute.
-
Ten was once a distant dream.
-
And there we are - page ten!
-
TEN!!
-
Hoo and Ray!
-
I actually post at 12:01 just so nothing goes wrong.
-
Just a few seconds more.
-
Almost there.
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.
-
I wrote them.
-
Up are new notes.
Time for some Notes reading!
-
Anxious to hear if people like the cover and title.
