Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of a most amazing audience, and now it is time for you to post until the most amazing cows come home.

And the word of the day is: KENSPECKLE!

Post by: Ron Pulliam on December 16, 2023, 05:05:59 AM
Have you ever had one of those dreams in which you find yourself in a crowd but you are, somehow, unclothed?

I am sure you felt kenspeckle, not in any suit of material clothes but in a droll sense of nakedness.

Post by: Ron Pulliam on December 16, 2023, 05:06:45 AM
That is all I can do with the word of the day.

Inconspicuously, of course...or not kenspeckle.

It is Saturday, December 17th, in Johnston SC.

I do not know how we have managed to get more than halfway through the final month of 2023.

I can only shake my head, make note of how many rattles I hear, and await the arrival of 2024.

I was super-sick between 4:00 and 7:00 last night. When my body calmed down around 7:30, I started getting ready for bed, and I was tucked in by 8:15. The alarm rang at 6:00, and I turned it off to snuggle with Annabelle. When I looked at the clock it was 7:10, and I decided I had had enough sleep.

I always want to play with certain animals I see in videos, like baby goats and baby big cats. But I think my big bird is enough for me. I have held a baby panther, played with a baby white tiger and goofed off with a penguin. Those are memories I cherish.

I've just been informed by my health clinic that next year they may start charging me $50 per medical message to use MyChart.

That seems to be the norm now.  It isn't for things like scripts or ongoing issues that have a quick answer and response.  You might confirm that they would bill your insurance for an online visit before simply charging you.  Is $50 your copay for an office visit?

We live in unfortunate and egregiously stupid times.

I have had to control my tongue in recent weeks over a FB thread on a TCM Fan page in which one soul posted that he thinks Audrey Hepburn terribly overrated, that she never deserved an Oscar and had only played the same role in all her films.

There is SO MUCH STUPID out there!

I wonder if they ever saw The Nun's Story or Wait Until Dark.

I somehow missed seeing Wait Until Dark when it was in the theaters.  About a year after we were married Keith came home from work one night to find me all alone watching it.  He was shocked to find me watching a scary movie :)

Dog walked, business done. I tried a new thing - brought a treat and gave it to her after she peed. And she really had to pee because she was so stupid last night. Then she would not poop in the yard but we were not going back inside until she did. We got as far as the house next door and she made an epic deposit in three parts. First part, a small second part, and another big third part. I'd say it was time and she got another treat and then we came in and she got her morning meal.

My cousin Miriam from the Bronx dropped by after she attended synagogue on the Upper West Side.  It was lovely to see her! 

She also mentioned something she assumed I knew but I hadn't known - that her grandmother Rachel had lived with my father's family in Poland (my dad's mom was Rachel's sister, so Rachel was my dad's aunt) for a while before Rachel had gotten out of Poland and gotten to the U.S.(before the Nazis took over). 

That made things click about why certain members of my Dad's side of the  family stayed closer than others here in the U.S.

DR vixmom, I perused that menu. I'll take one of each, please. And I can only imagine the bill for the party.

It had to be well over $1000. There were ten of us . We had two of those porterhouse steaks, two Australian tomahawks,  a couple of filets and they were all cut up and shared around along with several sides, two table side created capers salads, oysters, sushi, all sorts of appetizers and four or five bottles of high end wine,plus dessert that was also shared around family style, various ice creams cakes and pastries.

DR vixmom, I perused that menu. I'll take one of each, please. And I can only imagine the bill for the party.

It had to be well over $1000. There were ten of us . We had two of those porterhouse steaks, two Australian tomahawks,  a couple of filets and they were all cut up and shared around along with several sides, two table side created capers salads, oysters, sushi, all sorts of appetizers and four or five bottles of high end wine,plus dessert that was also shared around family style, various ice creams cakes and pastries.

Wow.

I didn't realize you got your hearing aids at Costco.  They have, or used to have, an excellent return policy with lots of time to try the hearing aids.

I spent the day doing laundry, then taking a stab at the tossing. I started with my own stuff, then on to my late neighbor’s. So much to go through! It appears he kept a diary for a while. I feel bad tossing it, but unlike Gee’s, I doubt anyone would be interested. His handwriting is difficult to read, too.

Thanks, Jrand, but it has been postponed until tomorrow.  I'm just about to go over and help with some couch and other furniture moving.

How was she able to postpone the sale?  Wasn't it advertised anywhere?

I don't know the specifics but I think she uses a buying/selling app where she can just make an announcement of the sale on the fly and hope that enough people see it. :-\

This is Andrew Prekker, 24, the winning contest designer of the new MN state flag.

The blue shape on the left represents the shape of the state; the white star is the North Star (MN is the North Star State).
As for the stripes, white = winter and snow; green = farmland and forests, and the blue represents our lakes and rivers.

I watched most of "Barbie" today on Netflix.

I say "most of" because I fell asleep at one point...and didn't feel like rewinding to see what I had missed.

It's an interesting film, but truly not a classic in the sense that it's awards worthy, IMO.  I found the ending a bit dull and silly.

Does it mean there will be no more Barbie dolls?
