I was so energized after watching the ballet last night that I did not get to bed until after 11:00. I planned to sleep as late as I wanted, but around 6:00 Annabelle and Thatch started playing wake up games with me, and by 6:30 I was out of bed and ready to kill.

I think I know what the IRS issue is, but I cannot be certain. In 2022, my accountant of nearly 40 years sold his client list to Taxmasters to concentrate on the clients whose money he was managing. Taxmasters is like H&R Block, with many agents coming and going, and the client is no longer in a mom-pop situarion. My tax person last year was wonderful, but he's gone, and the person I was assigned to suddenly vanished and I found myself working with a new young lady who had no desire to do any more work than necessary. She asked me no questions but reviewed the information I had sent, and that's where I got into trouble because I could never tell you what my former accountant did with the information, loke what percentage of my total DVD, book, and CD purchases he declared on my tax forms. I think I'm screwed.

Pray some work comes in soon! I cannot saurvive on nothing.

Ketchuping:

DR Elmore, that is so unfortunate and aggravating about the IRS refund. When you first posted their note, I thought the wording implied that yours had simply fallen victim to a random check that they may or may not do (I have no idea), and that any delay should be a couple of days at worst. Then you posted that perhaps this new impersonal tax preparer might very well have made some stupid error.

Here's hoping for a fast (at least at this point) and acceptable resolution. And of course some great new employment!

As to Drowsy:

Ticket sales are way too low for the size of their auditorium, but the audiences are loving the show. I am absolutely certain, however, that they're missing too many details due to the less than satisfactory quality of the amplification...which I simply don't understand.

I am also sorry to report that, contrary to my impressions earlier in the week, they never had any intention of NOT taking a real intermission, so we have this nice long first act, a forced intermission (with the wonderful Act 2 opening scene "mistake" excised), followed by a very short second act. I've asked around, and I have the impression that most schools take an intermission, apparently because they're loathe to give up concessions sales, and, really, one-act musicals kind of aren't in their (and their audience's) wheelhouse.

I don't know about other productions. The community theeder one I saw in 2019 took no intermission, left the material uncensored (though I have no memory as to whether the "Negro" line was there), was beautifully produced, and I'd give anything to be able to see it again. It was performed in an attractive and comfortable cabaret-seating venue, which was perfect for this show and for Man in Chair's proximity to the audience. Also in that respect, I can't help but imagine that DR Jrand73's production was one not to be missed.

According to Dr. Doug Stewart Ruthenium was the last of the six platinum group metals (platinum, palladium, rhodium, osmium, iridium and ruthenium) to be discovered.
The initial discovery of ruthenium was thought to have occurred in 1828, when Swedish chemist Jons Jacob Berzelius and Russian chemist Gottfried W. Osann examined the residues left from crude platinum ores after dissolving them in aqua regia (a concentrated solution of hydrochloric and nitric acids).
Osann believed that there were three new metals in these residues, which he called pluranium, polinium and ruthenium. Berzelius was, however, skeptical.
Later, in 1844, in Kazan, Russia, Karl K. Klaus repeated Osann’s work to clarify the results. He proved that there was only one new metal present in the residues. He kept Osann’s name of ruthenium for this new metal.
Klaus used a lengthy process to obtain the salt, ammonium chlororuthenate, (NH4)2RuCl6, from which he could isolate the metal ruthenium and identify its properties. (1)
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: vixmom on April 28, 2024, 08:23:09 AM
The element’s name comes from the Latin word ‘Ruthenia’ meaning Russia, as the platinum ores were originally from the Ural Mountains in Russia.
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE

Ruthenium is immune to concentrated acids, but can be dissolved by household bleach.

Ruthenium is a very rare, hard, lustrous, brittle, silvery-white metal that does not tarnish at room temperature.

Post by: ChasSmith on April 28, 2024, 08:26:19 AM
All of that being said - the more I learn about the show, the more I love it, and I look forward to being a part of another production sometime. This director brought some good bits to it, but for my money, those moments leave us wanting more. And the more I think about Man in Chair, the more fascinating or intriguing that character becomes.

I was noodling around on the web the other day and found this site with a fun page on Drowsy:

The metal is unaffected by air, water and acids.
It reacts with molten alkali and halogens and can oxidize explosively

Small amounts of ruthenium are used to harden platinum and palladium and it can also be alloyed with these metals to make electrical contacts for severe wear resistance.

In today's Zoom chat, we talked of many things...but not of shoes, ships, cabbages or kings.  And forget about sealing wax.

We shared a laugh or two over inconsequential stuff, but we spoke of Monty Python and TV shows like Hennessey and The Courtship of Eddie's Father.  We shared some main theme music from both those shows (Hennessey written by Sonny Burke and Eddie's Father by Harry Nilsson).

We also shared a laugh or four over the Monty Python song "I'm A Lumberjack".

For food, I got a pulled pork sandwich from some nearby barbecue jernt that had great reviews. Well, perhaps the worst pulled pork sandwich ever. I'm simply not a fan of vinegary barbecue with no sweetness at all. Their sauce was sour, the meat was permeated with a vinegary taste, the slaw wasn't too bad, but it was just gross. I ate it, of course. For a side I got their raved about potato salad, which looked like soup and tasted like fetid warts. Never again.

I've just been dozing the entire damn night.

And this was a banner bad food day - first the pulled pork thing, then later the crispy chicken sandwich from Fatburger - first time I had it it was great - second time was NOT the charm.

Is this a joke? Is there gaslighting going on?
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:00:51 PM
I think there is.
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:01:33 PM
This damn page has about seventy posts already. Okay, gaslight people, we're calling you out.
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:02:31 PM
And we all know what you do when you're called out.

See?

Oh George?
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:52:46 PM
George has decided not to be a late-night denizen this evening.
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:52:59 PM
A shame as we could have easily made page ten.

I suppose he's off eating a Whopper.
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:53:16 PM
Or a burrito.
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:53:28 PM
Or his leftover Subway balls.
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:53:45 PM
It does not seem right.
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:53:57 PM
It seems egregiously egregious.
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:54:21 PM
Perhaps, being the elderly person he is, he fell asleep.
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:54:37 PM
Or perhaps he's gone down some pointless rabbit hole.
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:55:27 PM
Maybe he's with the pre-pubescent influencers on TikTok or BookTok, a new phenomenon I knew nothing about, but which explains the sorry state of the publishing world.
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:55:55 PM
I am happy to say other than some Sami the series promotion, I've never been on TikTok.
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:56:06 PM
And I'm going to keep it that way.
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:57:00 PM
Speaking of Sami the series, it was our one year anniversary of its premiere. I did not do anything to celebrate - when you read Directed by you'll understand why.

Where the HELL is George.

This is too much.
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:57:36 PM
How long does it take to eat leftover balls from Subway?
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:57:47 PM
Surely not THIS long.
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:58:25 PM
And yet...

What would we ever do without the ellipses?
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE

What?
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:59:09 PM
Did someone say something?
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:59:31 PM
Certainly not the errant and truant George, who has some 'splainin' to do.
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 28, 2024, 11:59:56 PM
A whole page of ME.

I had a ME day, so why not a ME page?

I like it.

And this was a banner bad food day - first the pulled pork thing, then later the crispy chicken sandwich from Fatburger - first time I had it it was great - second time was NOT the charm.

I got a couple of subs from Subway with a coupon ($13.99 for two foot-long subs, with exceptions).

As Mr. Barry Manilow once said, "Looks like we made it."
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: George on April 29, 2024, 12:01:53 AM
I've had one half of each and they were pretty darned good.

Oh, George has FINALLY shown up.
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE

I want two Subway subs for fourteen bucks.

Post by: George on April 29, 2024, 12:02:30 AM
George has decided not to be a late-night denizen this evening.

I was stuffing my face with half a Subway sub.
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 29, 2024, 12:02:42 AM
I want them NOW.

Post by: George on April 29, 2024, 12:05:24 AM
I want two Subway subs for fourteen bucks.

Sadly, the coupon expired today, so I had to use it or lose it...so I used it.
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: bk on April 29, 2024, 12:05:29 AM
And half after pasta tomorrow.

Use it or lose it - is that a country song?
Title: Re: WHEN WE PLAYED OUR CHARADE
Post by: George on April 29, 2024, 12:06:20 AM

I'm sure that they would find some place to post their weird vids.

VERY close.

If it isn't, it should be.
