I purchased the computer on Wednesday at noon. The debit card went through. I noticed on Thursday that the charge had not yet posted, so I called my bank. They had no record of the charge, so I called the Apple Store and spoke to a nice young lady. She explained the charge would not go through until the computer was ready. So, this morning around 4:15a.m., I got an email from my bank wanting to know if the Apple charge ad several others were mine or was there fraud?
Title: Re: FUNNY AS PAVEMENT
Post by: elmore3003 on July 15, 2023, 04:28:23 AM
Now, who in the fat hell responds to an email at 4:15a.m? Then along came a second email around 6:30a.m. from my bank wanting me to respond yes ir no to these charges. Apple sent me a email stating they were having a problem with my payment.

This is maybe the fourth time that my goddamned fucking bank has pulled this crap and screwed up an order. I am frankly fed up with it.
Title: Re: FUNNY AS PAVEMENT
Post by: elmore3003 on July 15, 2023, 04:30:03 AM
In this case they screwed up around 5-6 orders, the computer purchase and everything after it.

This evening I must make an attempt to see my friends’ ADDAMS FAMILY at the local outdoor theeder. I say “attempt” because of this never-ending rain cycle we’re in that stands to shut down a show even if not in the forecasts. But it only plays one more weekend and I have to work other things in, too. So this shall be their one chance to entertain me.

The good news is the situation is resolved after two phone calls:
   1. 8:00a.m. phone call to my bank where I cursed the rep in the debit card dept. I think when I slammed the phone down that the situation was resolved in my favor.
   2. 9:15 call to the Apple Store on the Upper West Side where I bought the computer. I spoke to a lovely lady named Ruth who ran the debit card again,. and it went through. I then checked my bank balance, all it's verified.

Now the bad new: I can no onger afford to keep my helper. I only have so much ballet money left to cover the electricity bills for the AC and other living expenses for the next couple of months.

Ugh, Elmore. That happened to us recently. Wife paid for something. Bank robocalled to verify but phone service was spotty and she didn’t get the message for a couple hours by which time they’d blocked the purchase. I guess it’s for our protection, but sheesh.

Yes, banks do screw up transactions at times.  I always have my phone with me, but I keep the volume down.  The bank sends an alert at the time of a charge, but I don't hear it and only learn about it hours after transaction.

Thus far, I have managed to salvage all those purchases after-the-fact.  The bank is making sure my card hasn't been stolen.  BUT I am not always being challenged by the bank when I make a purchase and find some of them are typical for me, rather than something they should find suspicious.

Ah, well.

I know nothing of TikTok and hate it but I did an account when we did the Sami the Series account, so I could like stuff. But I was curious about how many views we'd get on the same Shorts there, so I posted them. As on Instagram and YouTube, The Miracle Worker is the one that really gets the views - not sure why that is. As of last night, that one had over 840 on TikTok as opposed to the others that were all under three hundred.

A sad day at our house. The carbonator machine broke. It is like a soda stream, but from Kitchen Aide and much more heavy duty.

However, the built in locking gaskets are plastic, and one apparently cracked. The whole machine has to be trashed. And Kitchen Aide no longer makes them.

We go through about 3 large bottles of carbonated water per day, so we need something heavy duty, and the Soda Stream machines don't look durable.

Researching other options.

I think I found one. It's a bit pricey, however.

The Dorati 'Nutcracker' appears to be 1 hour, 20 minutes. Considerably shorter than the other two ballets. Can that be right?
Title: Re: FUNNY AS PAVEMENT
Post by: singdaw on July 15, 2023, 06:59:23 PM
Apple Music Classical lists 296 recordings of Tchaikovsky's 'Nutcracker,' and they do seem to hover at around 1 hour 30 minutes.

So I guess that answers that.

I finished watching "John Adams".  I had four more episodes, vice two more.  It's just as well, 'cause a lot of history would have been lost if they had tried to do it in only two more.

It's one hell of a great mini-series.  We get some really excellent looks at Adams, Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton and Aaron Burr. Sadly, or not, it does not get to the duel in which Burr slays Hamilton.  But, oh, well.  Lin-Manuel Miranda covered all that in "Hamilton".

Well DR RODZINSKI & DR JOHN G got their wishes.

The audience was laughing hysterically from the beginning of the chaos and all the way to the end.  Applause interrupted the proceedings at least five times - one FOR me.....

It was our best audience so far - so they got our best show so far.

And when some script pages flew off the stage and landed on the floor, I asked an audience member to hand them back.

Then I asked her if she was in show business.....and the director got nervous.....because during rehearsal when I did that, I gave the usual Lily Von Schtup answer to Tex the Cowboy.....but I didn't dare do that....

I finished Success, which was the umpteenth edit of The American Success Company, and features additional scenes and I think recent narration by Jeff Bridges to clear up the plot, never a good sign. The movie remains basically incoherent and wastes much goodwill.

Then, when we left, they (I was sitting in the back seat, minding my own business) couldn't figure out how to get back home while trying to avoid slow downs all over the place, but it still took us almost two hours to get home, when it only took about an hour and 15 minutes to get there.

I held the fort until your arrival but I cannot continue to page 9. Sadly, I must part ways with you here. The gods of sleep are summoning me with haste. I bid you farewell for now.

A sad day at our house. The carbonator machine broke. It is like a soda stream, but from Kitchen Aide and much more heavy duty.

However, the built in locking gaskets are plastic, and one apparently cracked. The whole machine has to be trashed. And Kitchen Aide no longer makes them.

We go through about 3 large bottles of carbonated water per day, so we need something heavy duty, and the Soda Stream machines don't look durable.

Researching other options.


Oh, no!  That's terrible!

I get the grapefruit and orange Soda Stream syrups and just add them to tap water in my bottles, and I like those.

Once in a great while I'll get some bubbly water and use that, but not too often...mostly because I don't always think about it. ::)

;D

I think I found one. It's a bit pricey, however.

Darn. :-\

But it is compatible with our CO2 cannisters and water bottles.

That's a big consideration, though.

Hopefully, you might be able to find one a little less expensive (without it being "cheaper").

The Dorati 'Nutcracker' appears to be 1 hour, 20 minutes. Considerably shorter than the other two ballets. Can that be right?

Most recordings don't add extra time for applause that usually happens when it's actually performed live. ;)

I love me some seltzer, especially grapefruit.

Ditto!

Had a nice dinner with a friend who lost her father to covid recently. He was almost 98.

Oh, no. :( Glad you had a nice dinner, though.

But wow...98 years old!  That's something to celebrate.

Wishing for a lively, loving audience for JRand’s play tonight!

Hope it went well!

Well DR RODZINSKI & DR JOHN G got their wishes.

The audience was laughing hysterically from the beginning of the chaos and all the way to the end.  Applause interrupted the proceedings at least five times - one FOR me.....

It was our best audience so far - so they got our best show so far.

And when some script pages flew off the stage and landed on the floor, I asked an audience member to hand them back.

Then I asked her if she was in show business.....and the director got nervous.....because during rehearsal when I did that, I gave the usual Lily Von Schtup answer to Tex the Cowboy.....but I didn't dare do that....

That's wonderful, Jrand!  Congrats to you and the rest of the cast and crew!!

And dearest George, who has been absent way too many evenings, will hopefully get his act together and take it on the road.

I definitely was on the road today. ::)

Someday, I want to do a taste test between the different kinds of bubbly water:  club soda, seltzer, sparkling water, tonic water and mineral water (and anything else I can easily get).

Tomorrow (if I get out of my house early enough), I might go down to the last day of Lakefair to get the Demo burger, but we'll see.

Rodzinski - if you go to the Tube of You and search Do Re Mi and Ed Sullivan, they do about twenty minutes of the show.
