Well, you've read the notes, the notes were back up and running on a new server, and now it is time for you to post until the back up and running cows come home.

And the word of the day is: SAGACIOUS!

Good morning, all!

I slept well until til sometime around 3:30, when Thatch's aggressive attempts to break into a plastic bag of bonito flakes wakened me. He calmed down and both he and Stella hopped into bed with me and Annabelle. I got very little sleep aftewr that with so many kitties to cuddle.

TOD: Waldbaum's in the (then innocuously named) Trump Shopping Center near my home in Luna Park was pretty wonderful, but we also had a bodega-style market right across the street which was well-stocked, just a bit more expensive than Waldbaum's.
These days, I really like using Amazon Fresh, and Skip really likes using Instacart for Costco.

I had a strange dream in which I had created a new Shakespearean pastiche, Tytania's Revenge, in which Tytania seeks revenge on Oberon and the rustics from A Midsummer Night's Dream for making her sleep and mate with a donkey. Most of the play's lines came from all of Shakespeare's plays, although I had to futz with some to make them fit their new situations. I think all the actoirs playing fairies were nude, but I'm not certain. Maybe that was another dream?

Yesterday I finished my second chart for Joshie. I think he may bring me a third today when he picks up this one. I( may ask him to help me cart several days of garbage and trash bto the basement while he's here.

Teri Garr (with Conan O'Brien in 1990's) had just seen "Love Valour Compassion" and discusses Male vs. Female Nudity on Stage - first two minutes here :)

We never went to supermarkets when I was a kid; we always went to mom & pop groceries that carried the essentials and had their own butchers. I don't recall being in a huge supermarket until I was in my late teens.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
And others.
-
Am I the only one who is not seeing profile pictures?
-
Didn't realize how much I rely on those visual cues to quickly see who has posted what.
-
Still, I am grateful that THE GREAT MIGRATION was able to be accomplished.
-
DR singdaw I can see the profile pictures.
-
Site seems to be working well.
-
I don't like my profile picture.....but we'll see if it changes.
-
I enjoyed the A&P grocery store and the Safeway and Kroger.
I still like to walk around with my cart - I go to Walmart now so I can get my underwear where I get my hot dogs.
-
Most of my brothers and sisters have their groceries delivered.
But I like to see what I'm getting and look at the specials and sales...and see folks. If there is no one in the checkout line I always go to let Joan check me out - otherwise I use the self checkout where Erin is always very helpful and keeps me up to date on what's playing at the local movie house. Tony never says much, but he is pretty quick to help if I have trouble - usually not speaking a word.
Joan was named after Joan Davis because I Married Joan was her mother's favorite show and two weeks ago she had to call AAA to bring her a battery for her car.
Yes, I am a patient of DR Rick from the Progressive Insurance Commercials.

Ten degrees now with a feels like of 1 degree. Headed up to 22 degrees. I may take my shirt off and go out to get a tan.

"I get my underwear where I get my hot dogs" sounds like a line from a certain type of adult-interest movie.

BAD NEWS.
My brother hurt his back and will not be by today.
That will NOT do. THAT WILL JUST NOT DO.
I am going out and doing about 15 or twenty minutes of shoveling.....coming back in for awhile and then going out again. I may be done by 1 p.m. or so.

Good morning, all.

With the exception of one pizza and one Chinese dinner, I have never had any kind of food delivery.
-
I got some good sleep this morning. I could use a few more hours, but I must stir.
-
Singdaw's and Elmore's pictures are missing for me.
-
I don’t get food delivered. I enjoy shopping for groceries. I love farmers markets, supermarkets, Trader Joe’s (which feels smaller than a supermarket IMO), gourmet food shops, etc.
-
And John's.
-
I used to like shopping for non-food items, but I don’t anymore. Except for books. I am always up for a trip to a bookstore.
-
Two!

All photos are there for me.
-
Okay I am passed Petey The Smart Car so I am almost 2/3rds done with the shoveling.
BREAK TIME. BIG TIME.

Okay one more trip should do it.

Good news, JRand. And how do you feel about, other than cold?
-
Good morning, all.

Yesterday was sheer hell with snow cleanup, and I just did another round with the snow blower to clean up and widen the driveway a bit more. This really is hell.
Our plow guy had his own horrible time moving the stuff. He's got an older Jeep SUV with plow attached, and it's great, but this storm has laid down a challenge for even the heavier equipment. They move into it several feet, dump it as best they can to the side, then back up a bit and move a few more feet. It's just bad.
-
No problem seeing everyone's pictures here, and the notes page has worked fine so far. I still have to manually reload to update it, but we're used to that.

TOD
I've known and loved many kinds of supermarket or grocery store, a few of which I look back on with true fondness. Let's see what I can recall from the main areas I've lived in...
The last place I lived in Cleveland, actually Cleveland Heights which I loved (and probably still would), had a family run grocery store called Russo's that was walking distance from us, had a cozy vibe, and it had a wonderful floor-to-ceiling selection in every department. I have missed that store since 1972. It was there for years, but is now no more. Whenever I see it mentioned in one of the Cleveland Facebook groups, the same sentiment is expressed by everyone who knew it.
In L.A. I twice lived close enough to a Hughes Market for that to be my regular store. I was a 3- or 4-block walk from the one at Highland Ave. and Franklin, and I find lots of people loved that one, too. The other one for me was in Beverly Hills across the street from Chasen's, a five-minute bicycle ride from my apartment.
When I lived in Redondo Beach I went bigger, enjoying the larger and more modern Ralph's on PCH in Torrance. That's a major chain and is still there. Following that, during the year I lived in Chicagoland, I first shopped at a Dominicks which is no more, then the larger and more modern Jewel. (Are they still around? It was always "Jewel/Osco" because they usually had an Osco Drugs right there.) BUT...the wonderful apartment complex I lived in had its own White Hen Pantry. Those were all over town then, but having one on your own "property" was like having the most wonderful bodega there, day and night. I miss that whole place.
Finally, back in L.A., I lived in West Hollywood where my store was a 2-block walk, the Mayfair on Santa Monica at N. Kings Road. That was a lovely store, and I see it's now a Gelson's. It was that nice mid-size jernt similar to that first Hughes Market in Hollywood. By now, though, I was also stopping in regularly at the nearest Trader Joe's for whatever they had that was unique to them, and that continues to this day.
So do I have that kind of favorite store now, in Connecticut? I find now that it's more a case of whatever you've gotten comfortable with, and the the current one is a ShopRite. Does it take the place of the stores described above? No. It's a good store. But I don't find that "magic" at any of them around here. I love the "IGA" chain of very small, very packed, markets. They are few and far between around here, but they come close to having the feel of a really nice NYC bodega or other small market. And yes, they do have the "magic".
-
On my first visit to San Antonio, for the job interview, I visited Central Market. I knew I’d like living here when I saw the golden raspberries in the produce section.
-
As for favorite sections of any of those stores... that's a tough one. If I really liked the store, I liked it all.
But in the very few I knew that had a magazine/book section, yes, I would have been all over that just like BK. I don't literally remember any records in those stores, but I have the vague sense that that's where my mom or dad picked up a few records we acquired when I was a kid.
-
I remember a farmers market in Venice that had fresh red currants and gooseberries for sale. I was happy shopping while munching on a pint of each.
-
There was a fish market in San Jose, Costa Rica, where you could sample ceviches made from their fish at eat stand. It is also where I saw a waitress cut those flimsy napkins at the fold to double the number.
-
I like the deli section and the bakery section - but there is something to look at everywhere at WalMart - even if it's just the people.
-
From DR John,
I learned tonight that none of the city's shelters will turn away an animal. That's nice to know.
This is wonderful. I also think it is wonderful that you volunteer there.
-
Bruce, the site was still down at the time I normally am posting, not that I would have returned last night since I got home from my book discussion later than usual. I had a nice long chat with one of my newer neighbors who is in the group.
-
DR Freddie you were up very late last night.
-
I just had to reload to read the notes.
-
From Bruce,
That began at a very early age with our two great local markets, Big Town and Daylight, and later, A&P.
I never shopped at those markets and have no idea where they were located.
-
Am I the only one who is not seeing profile pictures?
I can see them. Have they returned for you?

I'm with you wanting to see what I am getting. I also like that you know your checkers.

I hope not cold. It is very important to keep warm when shoveling snow to prevent something bad happening.

You have my sympathy. It is a reminder of why we left our home in Ashland.

DR Chas, the wonderful Hughes market in Beverly Hills was near my father. Visiting him was when I first discovered it. It was also where Susan Gordon and I almost crashed our carts into each other. She was staying with her mother and I was staying with my father :)

I hope you went right back to sleep.
-
In my younger years we mostly shopped at Von's, Safeway, or Ralph's.
-
When we moved to New Jersey the markets were horrible, except for one little market near us.
-
My favorite small markets were both in Michigan. One was down the street from our first home. When I mentioned that we were new to the neighborhood they suggested I open an account with them. They said all the neighbor children used the accounts to buy treats when out with their friends. How could I say no to that. They had a wonderful deli counter in the bac with the best spinach dip every, and the best spinach wraps.
-
When we moved back to Michigan from a year in Conneticut there was another wonderful small market near that house.
-
Here we shop at Fred Meyer or Safeway. Fred Meyer is larger and has more items that I can't get at Safeway. Safeway is smaller, with items I can't get at FM, plus we like the checkers better at Safeway.

Jane, from yesterday, we're going to the military cemetery to check it out. Since it would be free, my mom was thinking of having my dad (and her, when the time comes) interred there. Her friend Inge is also coming because Inge's husband is interred there and she doesn't drive anymore, so this will be the first time in several years (and probably the last time) that she is able to go. And Shelly's coming because she may have an uncle there. :)

Yes DR JANE I stayed warm.....and I am finished.
I am sad (if that's the right word) that the idiot snow plow guy thought I only had a single driveway and piled a tall mountain blocking half of the street entrance.
I guess I will be driving the skinny car for awhile. Of course my driveway is just a hop skip and a jump compared to the one DR CHAS SMITH has deal with.

I am very glad you are done.
Our house in Massachusetts was on a corner. The snow plow would come down a large hill then turn right onto our street. The end of our driveway would be a solid wall, once even it was close to four three feet high. There there was the time I slid into the side wall denting my car a little bit.
Be safe driving your little car.

In Lisbon, a friend and I swore we’d get to a fish market before the restaurateurs had picked over everything. Trouble was, we picked a morning that started with a hangover. I was mumbling through a door that we had to go get the fish. Pam heard me, but she wasn’t going as it was her birthday. She woke Cecil and we stumbled on to the market. We arrived before the fish, which gave Cecil time to shop the flower stalls. He ended up getting her a massive arrangement of flowers before the fish. Then, the oven didn’t work properly and that fish took forever to cook in parts. I suffered silently through much of it.
-
LOL, you should have stopped with the flowers.
-
Sometimes/often my eyes miss things. If settings is on this page someplace I don't see it.

I just read this on a UK Facebook page called Boycott USA-UK.
"The new documentary Melania for which Jeff Bezos has paid 40 million dollars is facing its world premiere. At Vue in London, one ticket had been sold up to the day of the premiere.
When you take into account that the marketing budget is 35 million dollars, it does not seem that the world shares a great fascination with the first lady right now.
Still, I'm pretty sure that the film has a good chance of getting an Oscar, in the same way that her husband got a hand-me-down Nobel Peace Prize. If that should be missed, there is always Fifa's yet-to-be-established Film Awards."

-
And others.
-
I'm sure DR singdaw!
-
I don’t see KevinH’s mug. I have seen everyone else’s.
-
Back from an excellent Restaurant Weeks dinner with friends.
-
It’s still icy cold out there. It’s supposed to be in the 60s tomorrow.

Yesterday, I started listening to the cast recording of Just in Time. I liked the first half; but after Mack the Knife, it all seemed boring.
-
More fun has been the Complete Bang! Recordings of Neil Diamond. It has some weird cover songs like La Bamba and Monday, Monday. I have heard those songs in years. It’s totally wonderful and nostalgic.
-
Now I am curled up in a blanket and listening to Adrift in Macao. It’s not a great musical, but it’s silliness is welcome.
-
Job interview in the morning.
-
I have no idea what to expect.
-
I should wind down by reading a little, but I’m not thrilled by the half dozen books I am reading now.
-
This monologue doesn’t have much point.
-
But doesn’t it matter?
-
One more.
-
Seven!
-
Howdy, Rupert!

Jane, from yesterday, we're going to the military cemetery to check it out. Since it would be free, my mom was thinking of having my dad (and her, when the time comes) interred there. Her friend Inge is also coming because Inge's husband is interred there and she doesn't drive anymore, so this will be the first time in several years (and probably the last time) that she is able to go. And Shelly's coming because she may have an uncle there. :)
So, we went to the Tahoma National Cemetery (https://www.cem.va.gov/cems/nchp/tahoma.asp) and drove around. I wasn't able to get any pictures (I was driving), but it was a very respectful place. Inge found her husband's resting place. At first, she was able to find the right section of wall from memory, but couldn't find the specific place until another woman who was there told us about the "Find Your Loved One" link on the website. Inge got a couple of pictures in front of the plaque to send to her sister-in-law, so she was happy about that. She was very grateful that we were able to bring her. :)

Shelly has an uncle there, but didn't want to take the time to find him. She may go back at a later date, but on that "Find Your Loved One" link, it also has a picture of each person's memorial placque, so she could at least see that.
