Our Moonshine & Mistletoe producer had a Hallmark movie premiere last night, Mystery on Mistletoe Lane, and I stayed up later than usual to watch it. I'm not a Hallmark movie fan, but the toxic cuteness level wasn't high as I feared, and I didn't turn it off in disgust.

Got up at one, had a few telephonic conversations, ate three chicken tenders from Popeye's and got a free item - their new sweet and sour wings - I could not get past the gross smell and threw them out - the tenders were okay. Also had a small thing of mac and cheese and a small thing of coleslaw.

My little space heater, which I love and is at present my only source of heat, is now emitting a suspicious odor. It’s only a year old. It has a 5-year warranty, but I need a replacement asap, so I purchased a new one. It should be here tomorrow. No heat tonight and I get cold easily. I shall bundle up.

When I was in Walmart to get some hot dogs, I heard someone say my name.....I turned around and it was my friend Scott.

We went to junior high & high school and graduated in the same class.

So we had a mini reunion there.  It was fun.  He showed me some photos of his grown up daughter.....she was one of my gymnastic students way back when.


Fun! Can’t remember the last time I was in a place where there was a chance of running into someone who knew me as a kid.

I was in Beverly Hills visiting my father and went to the market.  Susan Gordon was in town visiting her mother.  We almost crashed head first into each other with our shopping carts ;D

One summer while I was in high school, our family went to California to visit relatives and we went to Disneyland one day.  We were in line for some ride and my sister noticed my best friend Andrew and his family just a few people ahead of us in line!  Neither of us knew that we were going to be there at all!

That must have been a fun surprise.

Back from opening night. I was told there were very few reservations two days ago - was hoping for twenty or thirty people - full house. I think they really enjoyed the show but we had horrible sound problems throughout the show - the sound guy promised me he'd get it sorted out. There are two or three things that aren't landing properly, I'll attend to those tomorrow. Plenty of huge laughs tonight, and I continue to be VERY proud of Boom Ditty Boom because it's harder than you think to get laughs just from staging.

So, tonight after the show, I got gas at the local Fred Meyer.
Title: Re: THE ONE AND ONLY PREVIEW
Post by: George on November 11, 2023, 12:08:14 AM
I had less than a quarter of a tank, so I needed to fill it up.
Title: Re: THE ONE AND ONLY PREVIEW
Post by: George on November 11, 2023, 12:08:37 AM
I was filling my tank and then I realized that there was some water-like noise!
Title: Re: THE ONE AND ONLY PREVIEW
Post by: George on November 11, 2023, 12:09:05 AM
I looked down and the gas tank had overflowed and gas was spilling out all over the back corner of my car!! :o
Title: Re: THE ONE AND ONLY PREVIEW
Post by: George on November 11, 2023, 12:09:13 AM
WTF??
Title: Re: THE ONE AND ONLY PREVIEW
Post by: George on November 11, 2023, 12:10:19 AM
I, of course, immediately let go of the handle and stepped back as I put the hose back onto the pump.
Title: Re: THE ONE AND ONLY PREVIEW
Post by: George on November 11, 2023, 12:11:21 AM
I then went and told the attendant and he came out and sprayed my car with some liquid that he said would make the gas noncombustible.
Title: Re: THE ONE AND ONLY PREVIEW
Post by: George on November 11, 2023, 12:11:32 AM
I can only hope that he was right.
Title: Re: THE ONE AND ONLY PREVIEW
Post by: George on November 11, 2023, 12:12:32 AM
He sprayed all around the ground where the gas was, then I asked him to spray my car and where the (now closed) gas cap was so that that would be noncombustible, too.
Title: Re: THE ONE AND ONLY PREVIEW
Post by: George on November 11, 2023, 12:12:59 AM
I drove home and parked outside so that the fumes wouldn't accumulate in my garage.
Title: Re: THE ONE AND ONLY PREVIEW
Post by: George on November 11, 2023, 12:13:51 AM
I don't know if that would actually happen and be a problem, but I also wanted to leave my car out so that the rain could possibly help wash away any remaining gas.
Title: Re: THE ONE AND ONLY PREVIEW
Post by: George on November 11, 2023, 12:14:38 AM
Tomorrow, I'll take my car to the car wash and have it professionally washed so that there's no chance of any gas remaining on my car.
Title: Re: THE ONE AND ONLY PREVIEW
Post by: George on November 11, 2023, 12:14:51 AM
I've never had that happen!
Title: Re: THE ONE AND ONLY PREVIEW
Post by: George on November 11, 2023, 12:15:51 AM
I don't know how much more I paid for the overflowing gas that was left on the ground, above what it would've been if it had stopped properly.
Title: Re: THE ONE AND ONLY PREVIEW
Post by: George on November 11, 2023, 12:17:13 AM
The one good thing was because of my Fred Meyer Rewards points (and a special purchase that gave me a one-time special 10 times the normal gas points), I was able to get 45¢ off per gallon! :D

Title: Re: THE ONE AND ONLY PREVIEW
