Well, you've read the notes, the notes were the berries, and now it is time for you to post until the berry-berry cows come home.

And the word of the day is: INSOUCIANT!

Notes implanted. Decanted.

TOD: Where I live wild blackberries grow everywhere and they are delicious. Maybe I love blueberries more though.

In ancient times in Indiana, mom took us to U-Pick blueberry farms and she had her little army of five pickers filling buckets with berries. We’d take those home, eating them along the way. Then put them in baggies in the freezer. Later it was a treat to have a bowl of unfrozen berries.

Good morning, all!

I barely slept last night. Around 5:00 I was violently sick, with a repeat performance around 8:30. My first reaction was that I was coming down with the norovirus Jen had last week. So I had to look for the white plastic washtub I keep the cats' toys in, so I could have something close to hand if I got sixk in the middle of the night. Well, I feel fine, but very very sleerpy and tired this morning.
Now I'm wondering if it were mild food poisoning from the sausage and peppers I had for dinner.

I spoke to my good friend Time Winters last night, and he recommended the film I'm Still Here, about one of the many who disappeared in Brazil during the military dictatorsdhip between the late 1960s and mid-1980s. I cannot remember now the term for those who disappeared, supposedly flown out over the ocean and dropped from the plane, but in the first years I worked at the Drama Book Shop - 1979 to 1981 - the owners of the shop had Brazilian friends in theatre who told us what they felt safe enough to say about the horrors.
He realy liked the film, which is a true story about a woman whose gusband was picked up for questioning and never seen again, so we talkewd about the film's relevance to current events in ther US. I was quite spooked over this, and I blame our discussion for my inability to get to sleep.

Berry-Berry, the character from All Fall Down. Wonder why an adult who answers to that name never grew up!
The very thought I had when I read BK's TOD question!!!
-
TOD:
I love, love, love strawberries. And blackberries. And raspberries (aka "razz berries"). Blueberries, too.
I want to say huckleberries and elderberries, but I am really uncertain.
-
I have my quarterly doctor's appointment at the VA. It's quarterly owing to my hypertension disability rating (happened while I was in service). This is the appointment for which I did labs a week ago.
I don't expect anything major to come out of it, but it is next door to Panera Breads, and I'm going to get one of the other Asiago bagel sammiches. This time "might" be the chicken one.
-
Today is Michelangelo Buonarotti's 550th Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Mikey!
-
Good morning, all.
-
TOD: Blueberries are my favorite berry.
I especially enjoy blueberry cobbler. And my favorite Pop-Tart flavor is blueberry, too.
-
Google's AI says it's a "Botanical fact" that bananas are berries.
If that's the case, then I'd place bananas up there on my favorite berries list with blueberries.
-
Do any of y'all ever get those little "splits" in the skin of your fingers during the dry air of winter? And they're so tiny but they hurt like HELL?
I never did until ten years ago. I remember what I was doing at the time, so the time frame is accurate. In comparing notes (see what I did there?) with other musicians, I found it to be a common painful annoyance. Our fingers are always active on expensive toys so it's not convenient to keep moisturizing them, and the little cuts last forever.
Anyhoo, I've had one on the tip of my right index finger for the past week or so, and that's a pretty important finger in piano playing so it gets no relief. And today is the big double header: a two-hour rehearsal at one school and a performance at another. I can favor it (a.k.a. fake it) at the rehearsal, no big deal there, but the performance is The Little Mermaid in which you almost literally never stop playing. It's not quite Les Miz in that regard, but the second act goes on FOREVER and I will surely be bandaging and nursing my poor little finger tonight.

Strawberries and blueberries are The Berries in my book. Blackberries and raspberries run a close second, and anything else is probably something I've only had in jams. But I do love them, and bananas go right along with them.
When I go on a cereal binge, I try to make sure I also have bananas and strawberries and blueberries. Those three things in a good cereal (like a good raisin bran with those crunchy oat clusters) are a feast. The raisins, like the bananas, go right along with berries. I love it all.
Something exquisite that I haven't had in in many years is "berries and cream": the aforementioned bananas and strawberries and blueberries, probably the others as well, in a bowl of real cream with a light sprinkling of maybe brown sugar or possibly honey as a sweetener -- if you even need a sweetener with the natural sweetness of everything and the cream. Take me there, baby. I'd be afraid of getting hooked if I started having that now.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Raspberries!
-
I love any kind of berry, but raspberries have long been my favorite. I love them drenched in heavy cream.
-
Of course, I also love hard to find anything, so the appeal of gooseberries and red and black currants are high, too. I remember being in seventh heaven on my first day in Venice when I found red currants at a farmers market. My sister Brigitte thought I was crazy, but I ate those while walking through the streets alongside the canals.
-
We used to grow both gooseberries and red currants, but the birds always got more than we did.
-
In Texas, we got dewberries, which are a type of blackberry that grows close to the ground. I harvested a bunch of those one year. Made cobbler and jam. I don’t know if my back would be up for that anymore.
-
I’ve got blueberries planted this year. A few leaves have appeared. Here’s hoping for fruit.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
And others.
-
I never met a berry I didn't like.

Sadly, I have. Strawberries lately don’t taste like strawberries anymore. We used to go pick strawberries on Memorial Day every year when I was growing up. The flavor was incredible. When I was tiny, I ate more than I picked. I wonder how much spray I ingested.

I have finished kitty cleanup, made the bed, taped up Stella's sleeping carton, dealt with an obnoxious Medicare card phone call, and put the toys back in the plastic tub I kept by my bedside last night. Lying opn the teacart, Annabelle has been pushed hither and yon to her utter delight. I'm exhausted.

Strawberries and blueberries with ice cream or yogurt. I don't dislike raspberries, but I prefer strawberries and blueberries. When I was a child, we had an insurance man who lived halfway between Middletown and Hamilton, Ohio, on Route 4. He was an older, very proper and polite gentleman, and he would stop by every three months for my parents' quarterly life and property insurance payments. He had currant bushes on his property, and his summer visits included gifts of freshly picked currants, which sent my maternal grandmother, who often lived with us, untoi the kitchen for a week of cooking up currant jelly. God, it was good.
-
I have no memory of who originally gifted me with that huckleberry jam, but it's sure good on a toasted English muffin.

Just read of other actors omitted from the Oscars’ In Memorium segment: Alain Delon and Olivia Hussey. WTF?
And why do I care?
-
DR Elmore reminds us of: ice cream!
OMG, yes, The Berries on vanilla (or even other flavors, if one must) ice cream or yogurt. Bananas, too, for me. And sometimes a drizzle of a good hot fudge type of syrup.
-
It’s the berries!
-
Blueberry gin sour, anyone? Bourbon berry smash?
-
I used to make multi-berry cobblers at the drop of a hat. The freezer always had a bag of frozen mixed berries and the pantry had Bisquik to create the topping. Much butter, sugar, an egg and a little oil were all you needed. Oh, and ice cream to melt on top when it was fresh out of the oven.
-
The day I learned to play pinochle was accomplished over two cobblers, a fifth of bourbon and half a carton of smokes for the four of us.
-
Ah, memories. I’m surprised I remember how to play pinochle despite the bourbon.
-
TOD: Strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries, in no particular order. Blackberries are also yummy but just behind the other three. French strawberries / fraises de bois are especially good - one of our local orchards grows them - and I love black raspberries when they appear at the farmer's market. I usually just eat them plain.
-
No one has mentioned cranberries yet. So here’s a Nantucket cranberry pie to tickle your taste buds.
-
Didn't even think of cranberries. But of course. I guess the only time I eat actual cranberries, like, other than in a cake or muffin or something, are the traditional cranberry sauce. And I make the real thing.
-

I am watching some YOUTUBE videos from Ragical the Unhallowed Knight.
He and his cow watch and comment on police interactions with Sovereign Citizens. It is always amusing.
-
From DR John:
“Why don’t you study a blank page for a while and improve your mind “
Now that’s dialogue.
:))
-
From DR Iris:
I didn’t realize the boycotts are protesting only the rolling back of DEI initiatives, and not anti -Trump in general.
More people will hopefully participate?
-
I too thought the protests were more than just about DEI.
-
Bruce, unless I missed it, you didn't confirm Kindle is my only eBook option to get Vegas Can Be Murder.

From DR John:
“Why don’t you study a blank page for a while and improve your mind “
Now that’s dialogue.
:))
It’s from the movie Ready, Willing and Able, which I am currently watching. Ruby Keeler, sporting a British accent and hoofing like a heifer, stars.
The score features the lovely “Too Marvelous for Words.”
-
I too thought the protests were more than just about DEI.
I looked into the organization that is behind the boycotts. Here is what I discovered.
Are you against Trump, Elon Musk, or any specific individuals?
This movement is not about one person. It is about the system as a whole.
Both political parties, both past and current leaders,
and billionaires have manipulated the economy and profited off the working class.
We will hold them all accountable. Our focus is systemic change, not political drama.
-
According to Google, grapes are considered berries.
-
Reasons for boycotts, including the rolling back of DEI.
6. What are the upcoming movements?
• February 28: 24-Hour Economic Blackout – No spending for one full day.
• March 7-14: Amazon Blackout – No Amazon purchases, no Whole Foods, no Prime orders.
• March 21-28: Nestlé Blackout – Boycotting Nestlé-owned brands due to water exploitation, child labor, and corporate greed.
• March 28: 24-Hour Economic Blackout #2
No spending for one full day.
• April 7-13: Walmart Blackout – Shutting down spending at one of the biggest price-gouging, worker-exploiting corporations.
• April 18: Economic Blackout #3
Another full 24-hour halt to the economy.
• April 21-27: General Mills Blackout
Exposing food industry corruption and the poisoning of our families.
This is just the beginning, more actions will follow.
Stay informed by signing up on the website.

Also, acai and goji berries belong on the list.

So, I like berry juice a lot, especially fermented berry juice. Aka wine.

I paid attention on Feb. 28. I hope I’ll remember the rest. It’ll be easy to boycott Walmart since I don’t shop there.

U barely slept last night. Around 5:00 I was violently sick, with a repeat performance around 8:30. My first reaction was that I was coming down with the norovirus Jen had last week. So I had to look for the white plastic washtub I keep the cats' toys in, so I could have something close to hand if I got sixk in the middle of the night. Well, I feel fine, but very very sleerpy and tired this morning.
Now I'm wondering if it were mild food poisoning from the sausage and peppers I had for dinner.
Oh, no! I hope you continue to feel fine and it doesn't get worse!

Thanks, DR George! I actually feel fine, just very sleepy. I do not believe I have the norovirus; from what Jen told me of her bout last week, I think I've eluded it so far. It's either whatever has been attacking me for the past couple of years or it was a mild case of food poisoning. I have to feed the cats and myself in the next thirty minutes, and we'll see how that goes.

I'm sorry to read that THE RECRUIT, which has been one of my favorite streaming series so far, with some of the most interesting characters I'd seen in this type of show, was canceled yesterday after just two seasons. (Apparently, even though their ratings for season 2 were good, they were too big of a drop from season 1.).
Hoping some other outlet picks up THE RECRUIT, or that there's some resolution in some form (one-time movie, maybe in print) for what the creative folks wanted to happen with the characters.
-
The same with PRIME TARGET, the mathematician-based show, though that never caught on at all, and was cancelled after its first season.
-
On the other hand, glad to see that THE PITT, the ER-type show I've been enjoying, is doing well in the ratings.
It's so ER-like in nature that Noah Wyle from ER stars in THE PITT, and Michael Crichton's estate (which owns rights to ER) has sued - apparently over THE PITT's similarities to ER.
-

TOD: Where I live wild blackberries grow everywhere and they are delicious. Maybe I love blueberries more though.
We had wild blackberries on our road. I preferred the marionberries that were in our garden when we first moved in. I too prefer fresh blueberries.
-
In ancient times in Indiana, mom took us to U-Pick blueberry farms and she had her little army of five pickers filling buckets with berries. We’d take those home, eating them along the way. Then put them in baggies in the freezer. Later it was a treat to have a bowl of unfrozen berries.
There was one down the road from us. The owner invited us to go anytime, not just the hours they were open.

I hope the quality of your care does not change with all the government cutbacks.

Nope, not having picking them and having to deal with swollens hands due to the thorns.

For awhile now I have been complaining the Kindle seems to have an eBook monopoly on some books. Doing a bit of research they all seem to be from small publishing houses. Still, it surprises me as some of these authors are best sellers.
I've seenFacebook pages on several of these authors and will go there to complain.

I've been reading up a bit more. Seems also speculation that THE RECRUIT may have been extremely expensive as streaming shows go. Maybe so many foreign locations?
-
I was already purchasing fewer books on Kindle only making exceptions for books I really wanted to read. Now I might stop reading those authors :(
-
Prior to the boycotts we had already greatly reduced our Amazon shopping. Now we are trying to complety avoid it.

For the six books I self-published from 2013 to 2018, I found Amazon's Createspace to be particularly easy to use. I wonder if that ease of use makes people use Amazon.
The two script books of LAST STARFIGHTER (one the age 12 and up version, the other the all-ages version), that were published by YouthPLAYS, used Amazon.

Sadly, I have. Strawberries lately don’t taste like strawberries anymore. We used to go pick strawberries on Memorial Day every year when I was growing up. The flavor was incredible. When I was tiny, I ate more than I picked. I wonder how much spray I ingested.
I agree. Strawberries have no flavor any more. I don't bother with them.

Likely, and understandable for self published books. My issue is with popular sellers that I can only get the eBook through Kindle. If the library has it, it is only an audio book (I'm not tracking hardcovers).

I do like blueberry pie. I don't have it often.

FYI - Recently I have served an orange-cranberry cake and a lemon-blueberry cake. Both from "Natasha's Kitchen" website. They were very popular. Folks talked a lot about them.
-
They sound good.
-
I like berry pies. There was a bakery in Ashland that made mini single marionberry pies that were delicious.
-
A place on the coast makes an awesome ollalieberry pie. I tried someof those berries fresh, but they weren't as good that way as they are in pie.

Cherries aren't berries - they're stone fruit like apricots, plums, and peaches. If we had a stone fruit TOD, cherries would be #1 for me.
So, you’re saying cherries are the berries, they just aren’t berries.

I do like blueberry pie. I don't have it often.
With lemon juice and nutmeg. Yes, ma’am, that’s mighty fine eating.
I used to make a blueberry pie for my friend Bonnie every year for her birthday, which is close to mine. We were both happy.

Do any of y'all ever get those little "splits" in the skin of your fingers during the dry air of winter? And they're so tiny but they hurt like HELL?
I never did until ten years ago. I remember what I was doing at the time, so the time frame is accurate. In comparing notes (see what I did there?) with other musicians, I found it to be a common painful annoyance. Our fingers are always active on expensive toys so it's not convenient to keep moisturizing them, and the little cuts last forever.
Anyhoo, I've had one on the tip of my right index finger for the past week or so, and that's a pretty important finger in piano playing so it gets no relief. And today is the big double header: a two-hour rehearsal at one school and a performance at another. I can favor it (a.k.a. fake it) at the rehearsal, no big deal there, but the performance is The Little Mermaid in which you almost literally never stop playing. It's not quite Les Miz in that regard, but the second act goes on FOREVER and I will surely be bandaging and nursing my poor little finger tonight.

My dance instructor’s daughter is a high-ranking attorney with the IMF. Apparently she has too much time on her hands. She made several types of macarons lately and sent me some. Raspberry-lime and strawberry-lemonade are my two favorites.

ChasSmith, in years past, friends have told me that they slather lotion on their hands and then put on lightweight cotton gloves before they go to bed. I've never tried it myself, but it sounds like it could help...if you haven't tried or thought of this already.

No one has mentioned cranberries yet. So here’s a Nantucket cranberry pie to tickle your taste buds.

Topic of the Day: I like blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and raspberries (not so much). I once had some Marionberry jam years ago and I really liked it, but I've never had any since.
-
Didn't even think of cranberries. But of course. I guess the only time I eat actual cranberries, like, other than in a cake or muffin or something, are the traditional cranberry sauce. And I make the real thing.
I'm not a fan of cranberries unless they're in a cake or muffin or something (I'd love to try that Nantucket cranberry pie). Cranberry sauce isn't something that I've ever been a fan of.

I too thought the protests were more than just about DEI.
I looked into the organization that is behind the boycotts. Here is what I discovered.
Are you against Trump, Elon Musk, or any specific individuals?
This movement is not about one person. It is about the system as a whole.
Both political parties, both past and current leaders,
and billionaires have manipulated the economy and profited off the working class.
We will hold them all accountable. Our focus is systemic change, not political drama.
Hopefully, they and other similar organizations can eventually affect change.

I barely slept last night. Around 5:00 I was violently sick, with a repeat performance around 8:30. My first reaction was that I was coming down with the norovirus Jen had last week. So I had to look for the white plastic washtub I keep the cats' toys in, so I could have something close to hand if I got sixk in the middle of the night. Well, I feel fine, but very very sleerpy and tired this morning.
Now I'm wondering if it were mild food poisoning from the sausage and peppers I had for dinner.
Oh, no! I hope you continue to feel fine and it doesn't get worse!
Thanks, DR George! I actually feel fine, just very sleepy. I do not believe I have the norovirus; from what Jen told me of her bout last week, I think I've eluded it so far. It's either whatever has been attacking me for the past couple of years or it was a mild case of food poisoning. I have to feed the cats and myself in the next thirty minutes, and we'll see how that goes.
Whew! At least it's mostly good news. :)
