Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a little Freudian Freud, and now it is time for you to post until the Freudian cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: EMPATH!
-
Good morning, friends.
-
Thanks for sharing your trip with us, DR George. Very much enjoyed the commentary and the photos.
-
Mornings at
seven 4AM.

Damned insomnia.
-
Novella, my ASS.

The only confusing thing I found in Preview Harvey is that pretty early on, he talks about getting a Christmas present of tickets to see West Side Story, but I don't remember him commenting on the film outright after that, other than a mention of Natalie Wood in the film. Perhaps I'm mis-remembering. Of course, when he finally saw WSS, it wouldn't have been a preview any longer.
-
Today is Tony Bennett's birthday. He would have been 97.
-
I believe in rules.
-
Sure, I do.
-
If there weren't any rules, how could you break them?
-
Exactly, Singdaw. He doesn't talk about it other than in passing because it wasn't a preview.
-
Woke up but must go back to sleep.
-
Good morning, all!
-
Thanks to that banker who gave me the wrong information last week, I must make a trip ro my bank beore tomorrow night, when they closze my branch and move to a new location. The Big Problem is, my legs do not want to carry me today after yesterday's long outing. I don't know what to do.
-
I slept rather well. I had a dream that I cannot remember, although I know my former colleague Curtis was in it.
-
DR George, I really like the story amd photos of your holiday yesterday.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Great photos, George. Thanks for sharing.

Thursday morning greetings! The weeding of books continued here yesterday with cookbooks.

Late in the afternoon we went to the Board of Elections to vote on the highly controversial amendment to Ohio’s constitution and to Freddy’s for dinner. On the way home we chased 2 hot air balloons to their landing spot at our local airport.

Good morning!

Looks as if George had a lovely day yesterday!
-
Sounds as if Rodzinski’s day was very nice too!
-
I’m very snazzy this morning
-
Sneezy!
-
Not snazzy
-
Hard to be snazzy when you’re sneezy

I was going to say, DR vixmom: display your sartorial splendor proudly.

Good morning, all.

I am having an energy-less morning and will therefore sit in the recliner for a bit before starting the day’s merriment.
-
The newspaper clipping in the notes is a rather mind-boggling peek at what we once had.
-
I meant to say it yesterday, but DR Elmore reminds me:
People no longer care what they say on the phone. As representatives of a business, they should know what they’re talking about. But they often don’t, and they too often just say something that will end the call so they can move on to the next. They’re rarely identifiable (even when you do recall the name of whomever you spoke with), and they’re not held accountable.

Hello.
It's Thursday.
It's 77 degrees and we expect some major storms this afternoon/evening.
I have an appointment with my allergist early this afternoon. If the rains aren't pummeling earth afterward I'll take a trip to CostCo.
-
So very sick of Trump this, Trump that, Trump the other.
The very name "Trump" sucks all the oxygen from our atmosphere.
He also sucks the joy out of life.

In fact, TRUMP SUCKS!

They’re rarely identifiable (even when you do recall the name of whomever you spoke with), and they’re not held accountable.
What irks the heck out of me is that I will answer the phone, and the male voice on the other end will say one of two things:
"Barbara?"
or
"Mrs. Pulliam"?
My response to both comments is "Do I SOUND like Barbara/Mrs. Pulliam?"
If they don't hang up immediately, I'll ask the Barbara inquirers if they knew my mom...because if they didn't, using her first name was very disrespectful.
No call has ever gone further than that.
-
I need to get ready for my afternoon appointment. It's not for three hours or so, but I am moving more slowly nowadays.
-
I expect everyone here will be posting briskly today after yesterday's uncharacteristic (some would say "unseemly") lulls.
-
I do look forward to anything substantial anyone has to say.
Truly. I love substance.
I do.
I swear it.
I may not do it, but I swear it.

Another movie response could be: "She can't come to the phone now. She went to s**t and the hogs ate her!"
The last sentence is from "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore". Apologies for the crudeness.

Good Morning. Dress rehearsal went well last night - except for the banjo player.... there's always one. There was a point where no one came in at the right place for a certain song. Some even asked if we "weren't singing there anymore" - My favorite was "When does the music start? What line?" I simply replied "The music starts when the music starts" - I may have said that several times in the conversation. Truthfully, the music has been starting at the same place for weeks now - because I start the music!! This cast has a really bad habit of listening to other people for cues when they should be listening to the actual music. Anyway, I digress.... it's a good show. I hope people like it.
-
Break a leg, Matthew!

I see you, Rodzinski.
Yes, I do.

TOD:
Freud, which I have in a vinyl pressing on a label called Citadel in the ‘70s because it never got a legit release in its time. No idea the legitimacy of Citadel’s sourcing. I thought it was more or less a no-frills bootleg label, but Discogs says it was owned by Varèse who eventually put out the CD version.
Maybe BK knows what Citadel was.
-
I see you, Rodzinski.
Yes, I do.
I feel seen, as youngfolk say.
-
BK’s seen “Coffee Break”? I always hated the cut from the movie. I mean if they had to cut for time, that number made sense. But the way they did it is so bad. It’s obviously building up to the number and then it just doesn’t happen. Like they literally just sliced it out.
Still shows up on the Soundtrack LP.

Frank Sinatra is exhorting me to do the Huckle-Buck.
-
DR John I apologize for missing your post yesterday and hope your mother is feeling better today.
-
DR Vixmom I don't actually find "no problem" rude.
-
I stopped saying it as I was told it is rude ;D
-
When I say "no problem" it is because it really wasn't a problem at all.
-
But I do understand why it is taking away from the person appreciating what I have done.
-
I would not call it more sincere-lol
-
I would not say it for something that was a big deal.
-
Sometimes I say I was glad to do it.
-
What does "Bless your heart mean"? ;D
-
Nice photos DR George.
-
I like your beard and hat.
-
"Bless your heart" in my experience was sort of alternate way of saying, "Oh you poor thing." Could be said with added condescension to indicate someone thinks you did/said something daft or foolish.
BUT, it could also be used in a sweet way like you come in from the rain dripping wet and your aunt is like "Bless your heart!"

Professional in the sense they are paid. But like most community theatre pits, most have other jobs. However, the talent pool is good and they all play very well. I’ve forgiven quite a lot on the banjo part, because it’s a bear, but I have a hard time forgiving the lack of good musicianship. It’ll be fine.
-
I like your beard and hat.
DITTO!

I take "no problem" in a nice way in which it is usually intended. Someone saying that helpful thing you did was no big deal and they were happy to help.
If I was running a 5-star hotel or restaurant, I would not instruct my staff to say it as it sounds a bit casual, but otherwise, I've never actually heard that it was impolite or implied anything negative.

And sadly, speaking of composers, Carl Davis Dies: ‘The French Lieutenant’s Woman’, ‘Pride And Prejudice’ & Silent Film Composer Was 86 (https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/news/carl-davis-dies-the-french-lieutenant-s-woman-pride-and-prejudice-silent-film-composer-was-86/ar-AA1eJUng?OCID=ansmsnnews11). :(

I did not realize David Niven wrote two autobiographies.

Year ago I read one of them.

I don't recall the title and think the book didn't make the move with us.

I think Niven's books were "Bring On The Empty Horses" and "The Moon's A Balloon"....but since I didn't do a search, I could be wrong.
I researched and you are correct.
Director Michael Curtiz, who did not have an excellent command of English, shouted "Bring on the empty horses," meaning the "riderless horses" while directing "The Charge of the Light Brigade'" (1936)_; David Niven used this as the title of his second autobiographical memoir about the Golden Age of Hollywood.
-
I am "off the hook", as it were, regarding a visit from an old friend early next week. I begged off, explained why, and he took it very well, insisting that the next visit he makes (in roughly six months) we can either meet up somewhere for a few hours or he can visit if it's all right.
I am so relieved.
-
My allergy visit went well.
Went to CostCo and got all I needed, except for blueberry muffins.
CostCo has this habit of making it a required two-container purchase, but they don't combine the (six-muffin) containers.
I don't want a dozen muffins, and I don't want to freeze any for later.
Sam's Club has no restrictions, so I'll get my muffins next week.

Hello, everyone.

Hi DR Jeanne.
-
We suddenly lost hot water a little bit ago.

Nothing came out of the hot water tap.

That was a first.

Keith looked at the hot water take and treated the controls as if it was a computer.
-
Yay, the hot water returned.

About two months ago I emailed my PCP, documenting the persistent hounding I receive from Cedars about tests they feel I should have. Not only do they not let up, but they are often incorrect. The nurse who intercepted it — standard procedure — s aid she’d forward it to him immediately. I saw him yesterday and mentioned the email. He’d never received it. As it happened he’d had a staff meeting the previous day and mentioned that many of his messages were missing.
-
He has another patient with a similar complaint, but in her case it involves statins. Cedars is pressuring her to take statins. She is adamantly opposed and the doctor doesn’t feel she needs them, but Cedars is pressuring her anyway. I find this reprehensible. Cedars gets some sort from brownie points when patients take statins. It has nothing to do with what is best for the patient. Gawd!
-
My PCP and I are of the same mind on many things and speak freely. We both dislike the management there. I don’t want to change doctors or I’d leave.
-
Thursday morning greetings! The weeding of books continued here yesterday with cookbooks.
DR Ginny, I admire your dedication. I find culling tedious and fatiguing. I would not be able to do so much of it.
-
DR Jeanne at least your doctor agrees with you. Recommending something is fine but the final decision should be between you and your doctor.

But they often don’t, and they too often just say something that will end the call so they can move on to the next. They’re rarely identifiable (even when you do recall the name of whomever you spoke with), and they’re not held accountable.
Agree completely!
But it’s partly a management problem. Employees are often given little or no training and no supervision. Many, of course, just don’t care.

So very sick of Trump this, Trump that, Trump the other.

If you have not done Wordle yet, and are on Facebook with former DR Jason, be warned he was so excited about getting it in 2 that he showed us the word ;D
-
What a frustrating state of affairs, DR Jeanne. Sorry.

Eight is great.

But nine would be fine.

Hope DR Laura is OK....

Thanks DR JANE yes it was a good visit.
He was very pleased with my progress in all areas and I am free for six months!
-
So true DR GEORGE.....only one real choice.....but it's sad.
-
DR JEANNE that is most distressing......it's a business I guess.....
-
Congrats to MR BK on his writing.
-
Are we close?

No.....I guess not.
But it least it's not page seven.

Act One is blocked.....and I now have two days off from driving to the theeder.

Wonderful. Keep up the good work.

I need to follow DR Jrand's good example and eat better.

DR JEANNE that is most distressing......it's a business I guess.....
And I believe they are having financial difficulties. I admit I didn't do research to find out if I am remembering this correctly.
-
Glad your doctor was pleased, DR Jrand72.
-
You have been diligent.

It is that time.....

Good night, friends.

Actually, Barry Manilow by way of Madison Avenue. He wrote that jingle!

Gratuitous Post #250!!

I am "off the hook", as it were, regarding a visit from an old friend early next week. I begged off, explained why, and he took it very well, insisting that the next visit he makes (in roughly six months) we can either meet up somewhere for a few hours or he can visit if it's all right.
I am so relieved.
Good news

CostCo has this habit of making it a required two-container purchase, but they don't combine the (six-muffin) containers.
I don't want a dozen muffins, and I don't want to freeze any for later.
Sam's Club has no restrictions, so I'll get my muffins next week.
How many muffins with be in the package from Sam's Club?
Six, as well.
-
One of my buys at CostCo was a package of mini Belgian waffle bites.
I have seen TV ads for them and thought, "Meh!" I love Belgian waffles, hot, dripping with butter and syrup. On the ads, a lady is just eating one out of a wrapper - not hot, not dripping.
Let me tell you: I had two after unloading my car, and they are DELICIOUS. I had a third for dessert after supper.

Just finished Lorrie Moore’s I Am Homeless if This Is Not My Home. One of the best books I’ve read this year. Dynamite.

I may as well fess up before the day ends!
I had a dream last night that remains quite vivid, probably because it was a bit disturbing, although I do not feel I would handle it any differently.
My front doorbell rings one morning. The sun is streaming in and I can barely see a man standing on my porch with a box in his hand. "Delivery", he exclaims. I asked if I needed to sign for it. He said no, and he then took a big plastic container of pretzels out of the box and handed it to me.
At that moment, he made a step to enter my door, but I blocked him, said thanks, and closed the door.
I had no idea why anyone would send me pretzels nor am I likely to order any.
From curiousity, I looked out a window and saw a pickup truck. The delivery man walked toward it. It was being driven by a young thuggish looking guy. They exchanged words, the young guy looked angry and began driving the truck forward and backward in my driveway.
I took my cell phone to call the police. Then I woke up. I reminded myself that I have a pistol and a couple of shotguns (neither of which I have ever used) in the event either man tried to get in.
It unnerved me, though.

I have clicked on this and clicked on this and it just stays the same. Which part of
"[click to embiggen]" is supposed to get bigger?

I dunno. Old Joe has done quite a bit for the country.
And we haven't been beset and besieged with daily lunacy from his office and his press secretary and Old Joe doesn't have the hag equivalent of Kellyanne Conway!!!
SO MUCH BETTER FOR US!!!

Finished watching Chinatown - what a movie!

Must write some notes.

I spent the afternoon battling the invasive wild blackberries on the back edge of my property. Actually just trying to stop the ones from the adjoining property from reaching over the ditch and consuming our property. While doing so, I found a healthy fig tree that had been utterly covered by these demonic blackberry vines. Their thorns are so tricky. I pulled on a vine I thought I’d cut and it snapped back in my face, luckily only gashed the end of my nose. Really need a Kevlar suit for this job.

We got to see it in London about a month before it closed its 18-year run.
I've seen it 3 times in Bochum, Germany. So much fun!

Well, our preview tonight was very well received. It was nice to have an audience. There were laughs where there should be laughs, gasps where there should be gasps and banjo entrances that were almost right. We open tomorrow. It was a fun evening. It's nice to be able to let it go and have fun playing a show, but always trying to keep an edge.
