Well, you've read the notes, the notes were towering and an inferno of misunderstood days, and now it is time for you to post until the towering cows come home.

And the word of the day is: PIZZAZZ!

Well, that was surprising! ;D

Why am I up so early?
-
A little over fifteen pages.
-
Why am I up so late?
-
Why do we have ten fingers and toes?
-
I watched a few episodes of ROUTE 66 on the SHOUT! channel last night.
One of them was shot almost entirely inside CBS Television City which was interesting....not sure which studio it was in......
-
Lots of space in that last post.
-
Good morning, all!
-
I don't know if it were the shingles or covid vaccine, but it has knocked me on my proverbial ass this morning.
It began around midnight last night, with a heavy urge to pee very two hours. Then the dreams began. I no longer remember the first two dreams which were quite vivid. The thirtd dream was about rehearsing the Al Carmines musical Promenade. "Capricious and Fickle" and Alice Playtren kep[t running thougth my head.
-
Amazon Fresh order was just delivered and put away, and I am going back to bed for a while.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Sn*w.
-
Once again, just an inch or less, and it should be tapering off to nothing within the hour. And hopefully, HOPEFULLY, the cleanup will once again involve just the leaf blower.
-
Well I dug out the driveway AGAIN. But it only took 25 minutes this time.
About 4 inches of the stuff and since it was fresh and fluffy it wasn't too heavy.
Of course for some reason the kitchen sink is clogged. Since I used Mr Plumber in it - I can't use a plunger. I'll wait until about 10 a.m. and call my brother and see if I can borrow his drain snake.
I am such a klutz, usually when I asked that he volunteers to bring it down and do it himself.
I wish he had never seen me mow my yard.
-
BK, last night you posted that this was your first time watching Four Flies, but I thought you’d always included it in the three you like.
I’ve always liked the first three, too, but I never seem to remember much about Cat and Flies. Bird, though, thrilled me and I went back to see it a few times on its first release in Cleveland before I moved to LA. He really had a special touch then, and it’s too bad he jumped the shark after those.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
And others.
-
Working today.
-
Will be happy to see Open Enrollment end at midnight on Wednesday.
-
DR Freddie, the bank did let me know they were closing the account, but I did not have a choice in the matter.
-
.
-
Who wants to get splashed?
-
Any volunteers?
-
I hope your symptoms are brief, DR elmore3003!
-
I wish I could go back to bed.
-
Good morning.
-
It's the shingrex, Elmore. You've had enough covid shots they probably don't affect you any more.
-
I cut the cheese.
-
And packaged it in ziploc bags for the freezer. It' ok that it will get crumbly.
-
He came home once with seven pounds of parmesan. We did use all that, although I gave some to my daughter-in-law and the pastor's wife. It's what he was looking for when he saw the gorgonzola on sale. He thought it was similar.
-
He also brought home 8 pounds of swiss and 3 pounds of provolone. And 5 dozen eggs, 3 pounds of baby lettuce, and 5 pounds of mushrooms.
-
There's a restaurant supply grocery store nearby, and he's good about finding the things they mark down.
-
You'd think we're set for a major snowstorm or something.
-
He's out getting our veggie box now.
-
I need another refrigerator.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Good luck, Laura.
-
Thank you DR Iris. My nephew was lucky he was able to get to his house and pack up a few belongings. The roads are now shut. Considering the extensive number of fires he and neighbors spent putting out the entire day, he fears the house will not survive.

Our Great Blizzard of 2025 is now over.
We had a few flakes early yesterday, and sporadic freezing rain and sleet throughout the day. If there was measurable precipitation, it would be in tenths of inches.
Temperature is now 38 F, and will get into the 40s today. Tonight, we return to the mid-to-low 20s.
-
I need another refrigerator.
;D
-
TOD:
One of my favorites by Dean Martin is "In the Chapel in the Moonlight".
I love "Just in Time" and a lot of others, including BK's listing.
-
:)
-
I agree on Just in Time. A little Dean Martin goes a long way with me.
-
The driveway is BLOWN, thankyouverymuch.
-
It was JUST thin enough, and JUST light enough.
No more, please.
-
Getting ready for the Zoom meeting. Leonard loves Zoom meetings.
-
DR Freddie, the bank did let me know they were closing the account, but I did not have a choice in the matter.
That's terrible customer service!
-
I need another refrigerator.
If you have room for it, sounds like it could be good in the long run!
-
TOD: The songs mentioned by BK in the Notes and by Ron P
and also "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime" - which was the theme music for The Dean Martin show.
-
Google says the full name of the song is just "Everybody Loves Somebody"
-
I guess "Everybody Loves Somebody" is the one I'm most familiar with.
-
My brother's snake is in the garage and he can't get to it.
I guess I will have to just suffer and call someone on Monday.
-
I like Ain’t That a Kick in the Head from Ocean’s 11.
-
I'm up, I'm up - four hours of sleep.
-
I may try for a nap later.
-
It's Saturday.
-
ChasSmith - maybe I'm forgetting that I've seen Four Flies, but that's easy to check.
-
Enter page three.
-
You're right, ChasSmith - back in 2009 I apparently bought a DVD, which I must still have somewhere. I didn't like the movie much back then.
-
I'll probably go searching for the DVD, although the YouTube thing is probably off that.
-
I forgot Dance with Me. Great Dean.
-
Saturday afternoon greetings! I logged in a while ago to check my past posts for some travel details from years ago. What a rabbit hole!
-
I finished kitty cleanup around 9:00 this morning and went back to bed, where I've been dozing for the past five hours. I am now out of bed to giive the cats some dinner. I may have some soup.
-
I went back to Iris’s recipe for Swiss Cheese and Onion Pie. It calls for 1 box of chopped onions. ???? Anybody know? I guess I can Google it.
-
Well, Google didn’t help.
-
I went back to Iris’s recipe for Swiss Cheese and Onion Pie. It calls for 1 box of chopped onions. ???? Anybody know? I guess I can Google it.
John G. I found a similar recipe that has better instructions.
-
SWISS CHEESE AND ONION PIE
1 (9 inch) pastry crust, chilled
1 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. flour
1 lg. onion, chopped
3 eggs
1/2 lb. Swiss cheese, shredded
1 c. half & half
1 tsp. salt
Spread pie crust with 1 tablespoon butter. Chill. In small skillet, cook onions in 2 tablespoons butter until clear. Spread evenly on pie crust. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Toss cheese with 1 tablespoon flour. Sprinkle over onions. Beat eggs with half & half and salt. Pour over cheese. Bake 10 minutes. Turn oven to 325 degrees and bake 30 to 35 minutes until knife in center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes.
-
It may not taste exactly like the restaurant’s version, but it looks pretty close.
-
I have a funny Dean Martin story.
-
My parents took me to Las Vegas with them when I was a little girl.
We went to see Dean Martin, and he sang “Everybody Loves Somebody”, his big hit song at the time.
-
He changed the lyric “If I had it in my power” to “if I had you in my shower”…it was Las Vegas, after all.
My parents looked over at me, and seemed concerned.
-
I pretended that I hadn’t heard or understood, and just looked down and continued to eat my ice cream parfait, laughing hysterically on the inside.
I wonder if they have a strict age limit for Las Vegas shows now.
-
Great Dean Martin story, Iris.
-
Thanks for the recipe, too. I have all of the ingredients here, except for the half and half.
-

Love that story, Iris!
-
Zoom meeting over. Leonard always knows when there's a zoom meeting. He insists on walking back and forth over my lap before settling down. Which is a problem when I need to type.
-
It was a really good vegetable box this week. It even included a loaf of Ezekiel bread. That's expensive stuff!
-
Quite a bit of fruit this time.
-
Getting ready for the Zoom meeting. Leonard loves Zoom meetings.
Cute Leonard :)

-
We were married when my parents took us to see Jerry Lewis. It would have more embarrassing if we weren't all laughing so hard.
-
Wow, if only someone would get those two together. They’d make a great comedy act.
-
Lewis and Martin? Or Martin and Lewis? They can figure it out.
-
I had a similar experience in high school watching Young Frankenstein. My dad was not amused.
-
Onward!

Wow, that’s great, DR Laura! I always eat Ezekiel bread, and have for many years.
What variety did you get? It’s usually sold frozen.
-
For anyone curious about Ezekiel bread:

-
Freddie and John G., glad you enjoyed the Dean Martin anecdote.
-
I also remember a joke he told that night that my parents assumed I didn’t understand.
-
He was describing the beauty of Hawaii, and mentioned that when he arrived, he was greeted by a beautiful woman who proceeded to give him the customary Hawaiian lei.
-
Afterwards, she placed flowers around his neck.
-
Is this joke allowed on a family site?
If not, feel free to remove it, BK.
😊
-
Futzed and finessed.
-
Wrote one new page.
-
There's a restaurant supply grocery store nearby, and he's good about finding the things they mark down.
DR Laura, is this store open to the general public?
I have a friend in Phoenix who would really appreciate it.
May I share the location and information with her? Thanks!
-
Went to the mail place and then Gelson's, where I got two little things of fried fish and tartar sauce, some creamy tomato soup, a tiny bit of lobster salad. Everything but the soup was TERRIBLE and I'm now ever so nauseous. And this was the good Gelson's.
-
Blecch. I'm gonna have to order a sweet from somewhere to get this taste out of my mouth.
-
Bleccch.
-
In four minutes, I'll write until three or three-thirty and try to get at least six pages done by then.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
My brother's snake is in the garage
I was thinking, "Can't he lure it out with some food?"
-
I'm reading that the fire is approaching the 405. Not good.
-
The Palisades fire is now 11% contained, up from 8% yesterday, but it has spread east and north, and is now encroaching on Encino. This is so tragic. More winds expected as well.
-
~~~CONTINUED VIBES FOR ALL IN THE FIRE'S PATH~~~
-
I'm reading that the fire is approaching the 405. Not good.
Yes. Part of the freeway has been closed and there’s an evacuation warning for the area just east of the freeway.
-
~~~CONTINUED VIBES FOR ALL IN THE FIRE'S PATH~~~
Yes!
-
Singdaw, I missed the reason the bank closed your account.

Yuck!

More vibes for the people in the fire's path!

Hello, everyone.
Hi, Jeanne. Sending more vibes your way!
-
Jrand, I have a lot of experience with clogged drains. A very cheap, low-toxic way is to use hot water. The water in my building isn’t very hot, so I have to boil it, but you may be able to do it right from the tap. I usually need about 8 quarts. Just keep pouring hot water down, as much as it’ll take at a time. It hasn’t worked every time, but it’s been great when I couldn’t get to the store.
-
Hello, everyone.
Hi, Jeanne. Sending more vibes your way!
Thank you, Freddie.

Vibes to all.
TTFN.

Five!

Up from a nap.

Must get ready to go dancing.

Wow, that’s great, DR Laura! I always eat Ezekiel bread, and have for many years.
What variety did you get? It’s usually sold frozen.
It says "Flax." I did make a sandwich, which is not on my low carb diet. I will probably feed my daughter a grilled provolone cheese sandwich after church tomorrow and send a few slices home with her.

It's in Tempe. It's called U.S. Chef. McClintock just north of Southern.
-
He picks up a 3-pound bag of baby lettuce for under $8. Last time I checked, it was about $6 per pound in the grocery store.
-
It's a great place to buy a pound of fresh herbs for $5.
-
Most of the stuff is way too much for household use. It's like Costco on steroids. But my DH eats a lot of swiss cheese, and he's pretty good about finding stuff that's marked down.
-
Five pages - I got lucky and got a great idea and wrote it pretty quickly.
-
I love the gift of a great idea.
-
So, break time till four, then two more hours of writing, should get me to ten or twelve pages.
-
I cut the cheese.

Ditto and ditto.

So, I learned in the meeting today that one of the parsonages in our District burned down. The minister lost everything. The church is about two blocks away and still stands. Pasadena.

Vibes for everyone affected by the fires.
Jeanne and Bruce, stay safe.
Vibes for the friends and family members of Jane. ❤️

Iris, sometimes he finds ten-pound chubs of ground beef, which I break down and freeze.
Also, I buy flour, sugar, and nuts there for the baking I do for the groups I host. Like 50 pounds of flour at a time.

Amazing deals! I like that you can order ahead of time and they have it ready to pick up.
-
This is "rescued produce," which means it was not purchased from the warehouse and would be hauled to the dump. You don't get to choose what you get; they load it in the car for you. It's not always top quality, but most of it is just fine. What we got today was terrific.
-
I keep forgetting that we have a Costco membership. We got it for one of the perks. But every time we go there, the lines are ridiculous and we leave.

About where in town does your friend live?

We have not. I'll look it up.

And the bad food of Saturday continues - got three tiny dessert things from a place called House of Pastry - chocolate mousse, creme brûlée, and raspberry mousse. The creme brûlée was disgusting and after tasting the mousse things I'm convinced they've all been sitting there for days. Blechhh again.

Yikes! :o I hope you let them know and they give you (at least some of?) your money back!
-
I've done seven pages so far and just started a new chapter.
-
I have been so disgusted by everything I've eaten, that I just ordered some mac and cheese from Marmalade - I've had it there many times and really like it. Now, if IT'S bad then something is clearly rotten in Denmark.
-
It should arrive shortly.
-
And if I've written seven pages how can WE be on page SIX?
-
One must have uniformity.
-
Do you have to wear a uniform to have uniformity?
-
Just asking.
-
I gave a scathing Yelp review to the dessert place - it had MANY one-star reviews and they all said the same thing - nothing tasted fresh.
-
Ah, the page that shall not be named.

Much better than the six he got today.

Don't you hate it when that happens??

But if you are uncomfortable sitting for long periods, perhaps it is worth it.

I still haven't made it, though. ::)

DR Iris, I thought it was a different friend in Phoenix.
No, but my Sedona friend frequently drives to Prescott for Trader Joe’s and Costco, and to Phoenix for medical appointments.
Her favorite place is Lee Lee International Market, one in Peoria and one in Chandler.
She is a fabulous cook.

Sometimes it seems that I’m the only one living here who doesn’t!

Only two more pages to write and I'll do those right after posting the notes, and then for once I can get to bed at a more reasonable hour.

Reminds me during the worst days of Covid, we were living in Brooklyn and a restaurant supply store adjusted its business to deliver food to homes. I ordered from them a couple times but the quantities we got were enormous. Like a bag of 30 chicken breasts. But it was great during a time when Fresh Direct was overwhelmed.

Took my boy to climbing class, then we looked for a pastry shoppe in Surrey, BC that is run by a pastry chef my kids like from the baking game show “Is it Cake?” He won the recent Christmas all-star edition. A Sikh gentleman who seems very nice. When we found the shoppe, there was a sign on the door that they were closed for a couple weeks for a post-holiday staff break. As I walked back to the car after reading the sign, Mrs. R said the TV chef peeked out the door to see who was there. So that’s my brush with fame for today.

Then we had dinner on Granville Island in Vancouver with an old family friend of Mrs R, whose wife utilized Canada’s MAID program last week, which is there legal medically assisted end-of-life treatment. The woman had the same disease Celine Dion has. So we toasted her and celebrated her life (our friend’s wife, not Celine, bless her heart). Then I drove us home.
