Well, you've read the notes, the notes were in the fifth dimension, and now it is time for you to post until the 5-D cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: BOUQUET!
-
Notes unveiled. Prized.
-
Wedding Bell Blues always brings a tear to my eye.
If I Could Reach You is an underrated ballad.
Blowin’ Away is another I love.
So many to enjoy.
-
Good morning, friends.

:)
-
~~~CONTINUED LITTLE MIRACLE VIBES~~~ for the likes of BK!!!!!!!
-
Looking forward to the Sami sheet music becoming available to purchase!
-
Have a glazed key lime muffin.
-
Good morning, all.
-
TOD:
Anything and everything, especially Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In and Wedding Bell Blues.
They’re pretty wonderful in the documentary Summer of Soul.
-
Good morning, all!

Yesterday was a complete mess. It began well, then I had a health crisis creating a huge mess. The afternoon went well, I settled in to watch a DVD, and around 8:30 the health crisis from the morning returned, and the next ninety minutes were even worse than the morning's disaster.
I fially got to bed some time between 10:30 and 11:00.
-
So, the alarm rang at 6:00 and I turned it off. Annabelle, Thatch, and I went back to bed, and around 7:10 or so I decided it was time to face the fiasl round of cleanup from yesterday's messes: laundry. I am currently moving rather slowly and cautiously.
-
Last night, I had an hour of joy watching the BBC production of the comedy currently playing on Broadway, Peter Pan Goes Wrong. It's very funny, the comedy running from parodies of bad community theatre actors to slapstick to surreal bits of nonsense.

May you be feeling much better today, DR elmore3003.

There's got to be a morning after.
-
Good morning, all.

And here's Barbra singing the lesser known Maltby/Shire tune of the same name:

This morning I must mow at least part of the higher grassy areas for the first time this season before setting out on today's musical adventures.
-
Your own grassy knoll, as it were.
-
No self-propelling mower here, just your standard gas-powered push mower with "assist" or whatever they call it. As long as you hold the handle thingy in, it'll pull itself forward, and that's a great help, but I think a real self-propelled mower is a much fancier machine than that.
-
And then I must hie myself to Trumbull, Connecticut, for an afternoon rehearsal, a couple of hours break, and an evening concert. The break isn't nearly long enough to justify coming home in between, so I'll find somewhere to sit and have a bite and relax. Which is totally fine.
-
And then, oddly, I have two consecutive days of no musical adventures, but there are things that must be done so it won't exactly be a vacation.
-
Far from it, in fact, with the first thing tomorrow morning being a visit to the dentist where I'm having $250 extracted.
(She's removing an approximately 40-year old crown and putting a temporary on, and we've got to see how that tooth does before moving on because there's some decay and some gum disease up there and that's got to be resolved before a permanent fix is decided on.)

Favorite Fifth Dimension songs: Wedding Bell Blues, Sweet Blindness, He's a Runner, Aquarius...
-
Serious question: Can you surry?
-
TOD: I, too, LOVE The Fifth Dimension!!
Favorite songs by them: Wedding Bell Blues; One Less Bell to Answer; Love's Lines, Angles and Rhymes; Blowing Away.
-
Serious question: Can you surry?
Easier than doing "the Shag".
-
I may be losing my mind.
I have been making today into Wednesday all morning. I cannot get over the fact that it's only Tuesday.
-
On the plus side, I have had my morning V-8, blueberry muffin and coffee.
-
And singdaw has assured me he is calling us all "dips".
-
Shout out for Love’s Lines Angles and Rhymes, DR Ron.
-
I watched a great 1964 low-budget indy movie on YouTube last night. Called “Light Fantastic.” The reason I found it is I found the soundtrack LP on the streets of Washington Heights years ago. This LP was much easier to find than the film. It’s a shame the budget was so low (bad sound, amateurish lighting, etc), because the lead performers are quite compelling in this story of an odd wallflower who falls for her cad dance instructor. Fun to see all the location filming all around NYC. Jean “Christmas Story” Sheppard in a key role.

Laundry in the dryers and it's about time to head for the basement.

Wordle 6, Phoodle 3

Laundry is over and I can lie down with the cats for an hour.
-
DR Jrand, I laughed at the guy pretending to be dead that can't stop laughing :)
-
Can you surry?
I have one with the fringe on the top.
-
And singdaw has assured me he is calling us all "dips".
Myself included, of course.

-
I hate it when I have to work and can't post here instead.
-
Although sometimes I try to do both.
-
Neither well, probably.
-
Tuesday afternoon greetings! I have enjoyed a leisurely morning.
-
DR Jrand, I enjoyed reading about your childhood memories of your cars and you mother driving, or not driving :)

I am far from ready for Wednesday.

I have five books on my Kindle app to read.
-
Yesterday I finished reading my library book, and delayed all but one of the many books suddenly available to be read at a later date.
-
Last night I began one of the five kindle books, Preview Harvey.
-
:)
-
I read the introduction last night and began the Harvey's story this morning.

THREE!

DR Jane, as you are packing: some advice. 8)

I will be reading this slowly due to the bright lights hurting my eyes. Fortunately that shouldn't be a problem on the plane and I can read to my hearts content.
-
Freyja would love it if I showed up with that suitcase.
-
Sorry I was not around this morning
-
The lawn guys came early a disrupted my routine.
-
The Vixter was doing our lawn mowing
-
Perhaps that was what drove her to an apartment in Florida
-
But i suggested to Vixdad that we shoukd just hire the guy who did the neighbors' lawn.
-
Its totally worth the $40 biweekly to have a nicely trimmed lawn and not lose several hours out of a weekend dealing with it.

Oh I never wordled

My day has been a drag so far......a bit of shopping....then dealing with a slow and unresponsive inner web.....finally it seems to be working okay.

Self propelled mower purchased for $400.....it's very nice and I have taken it for a trek around the backyard - or vice versa.

Loved all of the songs by 5TH Dimension.
Laura Nyro, too.
-
What a roll Nyro and Jimmy Webb we’re on in that era, and what a role the 5th Dimension played in it!
-
When asked, it is said that Laura Nyro just liked the word “surry”.
Have also read that it’s an abbreviation for “let’s hurry”.
-

So true. Though in Ashland Keith had to do it as it was too big and expensive to hire someone.

Our weather forecast beginning tomorrow is 75 degrees.
-
By Sunday when I return home it will be 94 degrees
-
I'm up, I'm up - six hours of sleep.
-
In contrast it will be around 60 degrees with showers in Milwaukee.
-
I am deciding which raincoat to take with me. My heavier, longer one is not as comfortable to travel with, but then I won't also need a jacket.

Donald Trump guilty of sexual abuse and defamation. Awarded $5,000,000 to E. Jean Carroll.
-
I'm sure he'll appeal it. The rat.
-
Since it's only a civil case, he can't go to jail for that one, alas.
-
I thought that attending the dress rehearsal last night would get me out of having to go to the performance tonight, but I have just learned that this isn't the case.
-
I would rather be home under the covers. I don't like crowds of people.
-
I'll probably be the only one wearing a mask.

Very nice to see DR IRIS.

HOWEVER:
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he will look at the charges before determining if he thinks Santos should be removed from Congress.

Back from dancing. Studio drama tonight.

Had an appointment with the hand doctor. I’m not doing enough exercises. I’m not being hard enough on the hand. But he doesn’t want to see me again unless I have a problem.
-
Lots of nice rain today
-
The plants are happy. The new geraniums are blooming pinks flowers. The new Esperanza has yellow blossoms and the other new Esperanza has flaming orange flowers.

Starting Electra Glide in Blue. Never saw it. It begins with a suicide. How cheery.

But there is a reference to The Blue Dahlia in it.
-
What does your hand think?
-

Does this mean he thinks the surgery was a success?

It's Preston Sturges night on TCM - next up is The Palm Beach Story which reduces me to giggles from beginning to end or top to bottom as the case may be.
It is followed by The Lady Eve.
-
I don't think I can get us to the next page.
-
DR John have you googled videos of therapist doing exercises for your particular situation? After my elbow surgery I found some excellent videos to watch. Some of the exercises were the same as to what I was doing, other slightly different giving me options if I wanted.
-
Thanks, JRand and Jane!
It’s nice to be here!
-
Congrats on the new lawn mower, JRand!
-
John, I am very sorry you are unhappy with your hand, and with the surgeon. Vibes you find a better solution.

I am packed.

I have done everything I can tonight, with only what I need to do tomorrow left.

Yes. He thinks it’s a success. He also sees some signs of arthritis setting in.

Thank you, all, for the vibes.

You don't seem to agree. Is it a least much better than before the surgery?

I’m not unhappy with the hand, except I wasn’t expecting it to be uncomfortable 5 months afterwards.

Hello

I’m not unhappy with the hand, except I wasn’t expecting it to be uncomfortable 5 months afterwards.
How long did the surgeon say it would take. I googled it, and read it can take months. I know my surgeries usually take a very long time to heal.

Review finally written for Amazon, BK.

As Electra Glide in Blue comes to its tragic ending. Saw that coming.
-
Though I love it, the 5th Dimension's music makes me a little sad, and I think the reason was their sound reeks of a world that people believed could be permanently on a trajectory towards goodness, permanently trying to be better.
-
Still an interesting movie. Not entirely successful, but a lot of good work.
-
And Robert Blake was a perfect strutting peacock.

A couple members of Chicago, including Peter Cetera, pulling the reverse Easy Rider there.

JRand said they're down 10 people. So that was casting by attrition. We'll see if there's a Pink Lady and a T-Bird left by opening night.

And a few more after that.

We're playing a POST-lude.
-
Or uttering an a-POST-acy.
-
I'm shaking my POST-erior.
-
But we are proceeding POST-haste.
-
Bypassing the POST office.
-
Using a-POST-rophes indiscriminately.

Those are pretty bad.

Lame-o, in fact.

And yet,

EIGHT.

Who do we appreciate?
-
We don't appreciate page seven.
-
Oh no, we do not.
-
We abhor it.
-
We cannot abide it.
-
We disdain it.
-
But, thankfully, we are past it.
-
We are beyond it.
-
We're over it.
-
We're footloose
-
And fancy free.
-
We're doing the jig
-
And the electric slide
-
The hand jive
-
And the hora
-
And Tiler Peck is leading the pack.
-
She's generous that way.
-
What am I doing, a monologue?
-
Why am I rambling way WAY past my bedtime?
-
And why am I subjecting all you poor slobs to my drivel?
-
Starting Triangle of Sadness. The opening is impressive. But 2.5 hours?
-
My navel-gazing?
-
I much prefer the trapezoid of despair.
-
But that's just me.
-
The parallelogram of happiness is also nice.
-
But avoid the octogram of dipsyness with everything you've got.
-
Don't say I didn't warn you.
-
Actually the opening is a bit like Sami with a ridiculous audition scene.
-
Sheesh.
-
NINE!
-
Good night, friends.
-
I should probably pack
-
Post Toasties.
-
Watched two motion pictures.
-
We'll see if I make three or not.
-
We're in the midst of trying to make the order page for the Sami sheet music and then I'll need a guinea pig to buy something, just to make sure it all works.
-
We're working "Putting it Together," and I'm waiting off stage right for my entrance.
-
The tall guy on the right is Chris. He plays George.
-
You can also see DR Jed.
-
Nice photo, George.
-
Good night, all.
-
Okay, we think it's working. If anyone who's here wants any of the sheet music, please try so we can make sure it works. https://www.samitheseries.com/services-5
-
Oops, everyone left??? Well, whoever comes back first try if you want one of these songs.
-
Nice photo, George.
Thanks, John!
-
George is back. Feel like being a guinea pig?
-
Great. Let's see if it comes through from Venmo.
-
George, we see you ordered but I got nothing from Venmo?
-
I just tried on my phone, but I got a message about my bank account, so now I need to get onto my computer. I'll go upstairs after I'm done eating.
-
Okay, let me know.
-
Don't want to announce anything until we know it's working.
-
Crap. Something's going on with my credit union account. I can't log in. :o
-
Well, I think I'm screwed!
-
I tried sending a Password reset link to my e-mail address, but that hasn't come through, yet.
-
Then, I tried sending it to my phone as a text message, but the last two digits that they show are NOT the last two digits of my actual phone number!!
-
WTF?? ???
-
And, of course, I'm trying this when they're closed, so I can't call them until the morning!
-
I hope it's a bank glitch and nothing worse!
-
I hope it's a bank glitch and nothing worse!
Thanks, so do I!!
-
I also tried to verify my other credit union, and Venmo said that two small amounts were deposited into my account, but they haven't shown up yet, so I can't even use that other credit union account (which I can sign into). :-\
-
Okay, I just sent payment using my credit card, so that should've worked.
-
Oh, look! It's Page Ten!!
-
Yes, came through instantly, I got notified, and your sheet music will be sent to you. :)
-
Now everyone else can do it and I'll put it in the notes.
-
Yes, came through instantly, I got notified, and your sheet music will be sent to you. :)
Cool! Glad I could help!
-
Now, I just need to figure out what the hell happened at my credit union. :-\
-
Electronic sheet music has been received! ;D
-
WHEW!!!
-
I was just able to log into my credit union account and everything looks pretty normal!
-
So, maybe it was just a glitch?
-
So, maybe we could get off this page?
-
There's plenty of time to do so.
-
To do so, there is plenty of time.
-
Don't make me Skold you.
-
That will make sense once you've read the notes.
-
Not that the notes make any sense.
-
They certainly don't make any cents.
-
Has George gone down some rabbit hole?
-
It would seem so.
-
I have not gone down a rabbit hole.
-
At least not this evening.
-
This evening I have watched a couple of motion pictures.
-
And I don't care who knows it.
-
George is in absentia.
-
We will, of course, expect to hear George singing the sheet music he ordered.
-
And?
-
What?
-
I don't know.
-
And if I knew, I wouldn't tell you.
-
I'd keep you guessing.
-
And that would be a blessing.
-
Page eleven has joined the partay.
-
We will, of course, expect to hear George singing the sheet music he ordered.
I don't know when I'll have the opportunity to sing it, but I did print it out.
-
Gratuitous Post #303!!
-
AARRGGHH!!
-
One of the screws just dropped out of my glasses and the lens plopped out!
-
Fortunately, I'm sitting on my bed, so the lens didn't go anywhere and didn't break.
-
And ALSO fortunately, even though the screw fell onto my carpeted floor, I was able to find it. :)
-
Now, I just need to go downstairs to get my small screwdriver and reassemble the left side of my glasses.
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've seen them.
-
I've read them.
-
I wrote them.
-
And now, you can read them to.
