Well, you've read the notes, the notes were like a cleaver in the face, only with more information, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently trying to avoid a cleaver in the face.

And the word of the day is: LEGERITY!

~~~HUGS AND VIBES OF COMFORT FOR DR MATTHEW!!~~~
-
Last night, I ushered (actually, I sold merchandise) for the tour of Menopause! The Musical! that was at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts. One of the women, Megan Cavanagh, played Marla Hooch in "A League of Their Own" and she was wonderful! All four of the actresses were quite good singers, too. The final audience count was 691 and my friend Margo who was taking tickets said that she counted only about 50 men...out of 691 people. it was quite a good production and the audience loved it!
-
Saturday is a work day.
-
Vibes for DR MATTHEW.

The WB site is having it's 5 for $50 sale.....so this is the time to get your made to order DVD's. The price doesn't change until you have FIVE dvd's in your shopping cart....and you can get FREE regular shipping, but they do charge your state's sales tax, if any.
I just hated seeing all of the titles I paid $19.98 for go by on the list.

Has anyone been in touch with TCB? It looks like he didn't post at all on Friday.

Sorry for DR Matthew. Hope you will be okay.
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I saw some snow in Chicago last night! -Well, it was some very light flurries, but that's still snow, ain't it?
-
In short...
Yesterday was an amazing day.
I took the Metra into work with my friend, David, and then explored the French Market for a bit. I didn't buy or sample anything - most of the vendors were still closed at 8:30 in the morning. However, I did find and was very tempted by Vanille Patisserie, the bakery DR Jane mentioned the other day.
-
And then I walked across Lake St. and up Clark St. to XOCO (http://www.rickbayless.com/restaurants/xoco.html) - a.k.a. Chef Rick Bayless' love-letter to Mexican street food - for breakfast. ¡Muy delicioso!
I had the Open-Face Breakfast Torta (Black Beans, Salsa Roja, Salsa Verde, Soft-Boiled Egg, Cheese), a Churro (fried to order!) and a cup of Champurrado. A truly perfrect breakfast for a cold Spring morning.
-
And then it was off to Michigan Avenue to walk down The Magnificent Mile, which, did indeed look Magnificent when the clouds cleared and the sun came out.
-
No RSVP's yet.
I'd be surprised if that number changes.
Not because people don't want to come to your event, but because people rarely RSVP.
-
And then I ended up back at the Art Institute of Chicago. And so did Monkey. :)
I had tweeted wondering if the AIC offered some sort of 2-Days-In-A-Row Discount Admission. Well, they don't, but they did respond that they thought that was a good idea. And their social media director also offered to meet me at the entrance and walk me in for free if I wanted to go back. And since I did, I did. -As did Monkey. And when I met Jocelin at the entrance, she presented me with a small gold crown for Monkey in honor of their exhibition of Renaissance Kings and Queens. :)
...And after five more hours in the AIC exploring almost of the galleries I did not make it to yesterday... :)
*I posted a bunch of pics on Twitter and Facebook. You should be able to view most of them here: http://twitter.com/JoseSMonkey
-
After all of that gallery trekking, David and I went to Cumin (http://www.cumin-chicago.com/) in Wicker Park for some amazing Nepalese food, and then we went to hear one of my friends in a small concert of some "New Music" presented by the Anaphora Ensemble (http://www.anaphoraensemble.com/index.html). It was quite a fun evening of music, the highlight of which was a song cycle based on texts of "found texts" - misdirected voicemail messages, spam emails and a classic story from "This American Life" - for Piano, Viola, Cello and Soprano.
-
And then we slept.
-
Good morning, all! It's quite chilly in my apartment this morning. The weather.com page tels me it's 27 degrees F, but I swear it's colder than that.
At 11, I'm meeting Ron Raines' copyist to pick up a score to be proofed, and the rest of my day has a trip to the market and post office, tallying up the number of bars in Act Three of EILEEN, and assembling everything I photocopied yesterday.
I miss WHERE'S CHARLEY?

And now we're getting ready to meet up with some friends for brunch, a lunch, a birthday party and a dinner. Another full day in The Windy City.

As for the Topic of the Day...

And now I need to free up David's computer so that he can use it. -He doesn't have WiFi in his apartment, so...

27 degrees? I thought it was spring there.

I have a lot of other favorite post 1960 horror films, but this is all that comes to mind this early in the morning.

this is spring - welcome to New York!

I should talk ... I wonder how DakotaCelt is making out

Delivery people are delivering.

Hi all!
I have some Turner news that I think you are going to like.
-
When last we left our scum bag contractor, he filed for bankruptcy.
I know that most people thought that would be the end of it for me. To be quite honest, I had my doubts as well but after reading the law, I thought I might have a chance because of what it said about not being able to discharge any debts you made by fraud.
I never expected what really happen
-
I had sent the email to the Trustee but had not heard anything back. It's been about 3 weeks and since I had also read that Bankruptcy cases move fairly fast, I thought I should give her a call.
She answered the phone right away and asked if I had the case number, which I gave her.
She then asked if I as going to attend the debtor meeting that was being held the next day. I told her I didn't know anything about it and how would I have been notified? She said I should have gotten something by mail because it is a requirement that all creditors have a chance to meet with the debtor and to dispute his/her claim.
I received nothing.
-
She then asked my name again and I could hear her going though the file. She told me I wasn't listed and what type of debt did Turner owe me. I said it's a judgement from a lawsuit.
Imagine her/my suprise when she looked again and told me there were NO judgements listed! Just his credit cards and his mortgages! I quickly assured her that there were many judgements against Mr. T if she would only go to the court web site and look.
She then said that the judge would have to be informed right away.
-
I left my phone number so she could get in touch with me but when I got home from work last night there was an email telling me that Mr. T's bankruptcy case has been.........are you ready for it?...........
DISMISSED!!!!!!!
He committed fraud on the court by not listing EVERY creditor!
What an idiot!
-
But it just goes to prove that you shouldn't give up no matter how bad something looks.
What I thought was going to be an uphill battle with a very good chance of loosing, turned out to be a victory not only for myself but for everyone who has a judgment against him! I never in a million years expected that.
I know he can try again after a few months but I don't think he's going to get it then either. I still think I will have a good case to have it dropped (at least in my case) yet again. And I have only to point to this incident to show that the man commits fraud like others change their socks.
-
I guess he was going for the "poor contractor caught up in the bad economy" angle and didn't want the judge to know that he scammed so many people by listing his judgments.
Ha!
Anyway, I am quite pleased. Now I have to wait for the fall out of everyone ahead of me in line and see where I stand when the dust clears.
I was talking to a friend and she said if that man had any brains in his head, he would beg, borrow or steal just to get me paid off so I would leave him alone. :D
-
DR Danise, there are angels watchng you. Go to church and light a candle. Hell, go to church and start a bonfire.
-
I am blessed, DR Elmore. In so many ways. I confess, I did get down on my knees and thanked God for this victory.
-
From DR Jennifer:
DR Jane, you will probably find this funny. When I went to the library today with my photocopied book requests I told the lady at the front desk what had happened on Monday. She said that she has told the lady MANY times that people have complained about their slips being lost. So it isn't only me!
She also said I could contact the director of the library. But I'm unsure if she meant to 1) comment on what the lady said to me or 2) what i think is more likely - to comment about how many slips are getting lost.
The kids had an elementary school principle like that. Every time I complained about something he innocently told me I was the only person having the problem & acted if it was me and not a real problem. Eventually I found out he was telling every other parent that complained about the same things that they were the only ones to complain. ::) This is the same guy who didn't call me after Bryan was jumped by a group of boys.
I think you should contact the director of the library regarding the large number of lost slips.
-
Oh DR Matthew I am so very sorry.

From DR Cilla:
Her dog and Mia's dog are friends. They wrestled and growled the whole time we were there. I find that annoying
So would I. A little playing is fine but then they should have sat quietly.
-
From DR Ginny:
Richard taught me earlier today to use the spreadsheet program that we have on our computers in order to organize last year's medical expenses for our taxes. I've spent the evening practicing by creating an inventory of - wait for it - my Vera Bradley collection.
;D :D
-
And then I ended up back at the Art Institute of Chicago. And so did Monkey. :)

I never cease to be amazed at the rewards you receive for tweeting. I look forward to the photo of Monkey wearing his crown.

From DR Cilla:
Her dog and Mia's dog are friends. They wrestled and growled the whole time we were there. I find that annoying
So would I. A little playing is fine but then they should have sat quietly.
Thank you, Jane. No one seemed to think it was unusual or inappropriate. I would hear "Oh, they are just wearing each other out". I know Odie is deaf and that presents a problem, but I don't believe he can't be trained.
-
I have a headache today. I think it's allergies. I always get this way in March. I took a generic Claritin type pill two days ago and it worked, forgot yesterday and I feel worse. I took another one just now and we'll see what happens. I need to go buy shoes, but don't feel like it
-
I was hoping my check would arrive today. But no. I guess just because the government cut the check it doesn't mean that the government mailed the check
-
Wow Danise, one day later and you would be writing a different story. I'm very glad the woman called immediately to the Judge's office. Great news there is still hope you will receive your money back or at least part of it.
CONTINUED VIBES!!!!

Training is with voice and hand commands. There shouldn't be any problem & unfortunately dogs like this are the reason there are many places Sherlock isn't permitted.

Good afternoon from chilly Northern Virginia. We've actually got snow in the forecast for tomorrow! It was 81 degrees a week or so ago and now this!
-
Have any of our New Yorkers seen The Book of Mormon? The reviews are mostly raves.
-
DR Danise that's good news. The bankruptcy trustee is exactly the right person to contact. If you hadn't been on top of it, there may have been a way to set it aside, but this is so much easier and so much better
-
Thanks Jane
-
Back from various and sundried errands - I picked up one package and the important envelope. I left right after the delivery this morning - the item delivered, however, was missing a small but important part, so I made a call and the small but important part is being Fed Exed to me - supposedly it went out today and I'm hoping it arrives on Monday. If it didn't ship today, then it looks like Tuesday, presuming it was sent overnight, which it best have been.

Saturday afternoon greetings! We are back after a most entertaining day. First we went to the antique appraisal that was a fundraiser for the Middletown Historical Society. The guy was quite informative, but needed to brush up on his Middletown history a bit. We left there right after the lunch break to head to Oxford for the matinee performance of
Grand Night 2011: The Great American Songbook (http://www.grandnight.info/grand_Night/Welcome.html)
Throughout the show, I kept envisioning "Grand Night 2012: The Orchestrations of Alumnus Larry Moore."
-
After a day spent with Vixdad and some friends playing a game we are off to see the Vixter's final night in her final high school play --- expect tears
-
anyone heard from TCB?
-
does anyone have a phone number for him in case his computer crashed?
-
VIBES to all == I do not expect to be back here until tomororow
-
Guess I missed my chance to see DR The Vixter's performance...
-
Kevin, I haven't seen Book of Mormon yet. I haven't seen much, partially because of the appendix but also it's getting more and more expensive. I see much of my theatre through TDF and in the past many of the Broadway shows would be up at least for previews. That's not the case this year. I can print out some discounts from Playbill and other sites but I can't afford many of the discounts.
-
does anyone have a phone number for him in case his computer crashed?
I don't have it.
-
We took the pooches for a nice walk this afternoon. I was lazy and didn't take them in the rain this morning. More rain & snow are expected tomorrow.
-
Made a batch of tuna pasta salad, which I'll eat some of right this very minute.
-
Wonderful story DR Danise!
-
I wore shoes for the first time outside yesterday.
There is still quite a bit of snow because of all the piles the snow trucks left (they put 10 feet piles in many places). But the roads were clear of snow. Yippee.
It is still very cold out. But I'm happy just to put on a pair of shoes instead of boots.
-
DR Jane I may send an email to the director. I have no idea who this is. But if I do i'm not going to mention the lady who was mean to me. I would just mention how many slips are getting lost and that it needs to be computerized.
-
DR DANISE - you made my DAY!
-
Woooo hoooooooooooo
-
That's great news, Danise. What a surprise for him!
-
Today Wae-Ling Goldstein and I went on a butterfly walk, and this is what I saw:

Good, the more complaints the sooner the get those requests computerized.
I'm glad you are able to wear shoes again.

I'm getting a bit worried about TCB
-
Vibes of comfort to DR Matthew.
-
TCB, I just looked you up on whitepages.com and was going to call.
-
Hi DR TCB :)
-
TCB, I just looked you up on whitepages.com and was going to call.
Sorry.
-
Please say you were doing something fun. :)
-
Such as eating mints. ;) Did you ever get them?
-
It is hailing.
-
I'm quite tired - finished one interesting motion picture I'd TIVOd and am moving on to a motion picture on Blu and Ray. I am full of tuna pasta salad at the moment.
-
TCB!!!! SO good to see you, my friend. Hope all is well in your world and you were just too busy to hang out with us
-
I'm waiting until it is time to let Kitty out of the spa. ;)
-
How much time did Kitty get? Is there parole when she gets out?
-
Craig keeps her in for 15 minutes while I give her 20 since I'm not in the bedroom to hear if she barfs up her dinner. It really is strange she does this with canned food. Craig thinks she eats it too fast.
-
LOL, yes parole until tomorrow night.
-
Having had a cat with serious food problems it does concern me some. She is fine though & it only happens occasionally. It helps not to change the flavor of the food two often either. When we buy her canned food Craig says no more than two flavors instead of a wide assortment.
This is reminding me, DR Laura how is Joshie?
-
Thank you all for the good thoughts. There is a part of me that feels bad that I'm taking joy in some else's troubles. I know he's a bad guy but still it isn't right. I'm so glad his children are all grown up. It would be harder if they were not.
-
It is time to release Kitty. Sometimes she is content to relax on the warm floor and stay in longer.
-
Glad to see DR TCB posting. :)
-
Boo pukes fairly often. She ate the new food like there was tomorrow, went downstairs and puked. I don't know why. The vet said cats are built to puke. It is what it is
-
Vibes to DR Matthew during this time.
-
I'm sorry Kitty has problems. If putting her in the bathroom for a little while helps, that's not bad. Have you tried smaller amounts more often?
-
DR TCB hope you're coming back this evening. I missed you and your posts
-
I'm a bit worried about Sheena and Toby. Poor Toby is looking so beat up but I think it's because they play so rough. They seem to love one another.
I gave them a bath today and Toby kept licking Sheena to try to help her dry off. They lay together, clear each others ears, play but sometimes they do have a knock down drag out and I break that up at once. I don't know what happens when I'm not home.
I don't know what to think.
-
DR Danise, maybe Jane has some suggestions. I'm pretty much a cat person
-

Yup, as long as they don't do it consistently and don't lose weight it is more annoying than anything. :)
-
I went in and picked up Kitty's food dish. Since she had a good amount of her dinner stuck to the sides of the dish I was going to stir it and put it back down. Instead I dropped it and it shattered all over. I am very sad now as this wasn't just any food dish, it was very special. It was a pretty little ceramic dish with cute kittens on the inside. This was Bogie, Bacall, Bosco & Knudson's water dish. It gave me great pleasure to use it again. I know it is silly to be sad about the loss of a dish but is was part of them & I don't have anything else of theirs that was special.
-

She is a very small cat & doesn't eat much to begin with. I didn't give her more to make up for what she left. She also has dry food, which isn't a problem, on the floor.

Hmm, licking her all over? That is odd. I know licking can be a sign of dominance, or is it the other way around-will have to look it up. Are you sure you got all the soap out? Maybe Toby likes the taste ;)

Ahh I'm so sorry about that Jane. I know how it feels. When I was moving Mom's china into the house I set the box down to hard and heard something shatter. It was a saucer. I remember thinking that Mom was going to be very angry that I broke it. Then I remembered she was gone.

It's flea soap so I don't think it would taste good. Both are laying on the couch right now. I guess it's just a dog thing.
-
Danise, don't you feel the slightest bit guilty about Turner. He didn't feel guilty ripping you off.
-
I understand about the dish too, Jane. I broke one that my friend bought for me when we were out shopping together. She died of cancer, and it was just a lovely reminder of a time we had when she was feeling good.
-

Your best friend? :(

Yes.
-
Hmmm, a few hours ago I went to the other room to eat dinner with Richard while we watched the exciting finish to the Butler/Florida basketball game. Afterward, I was doing a crossword puzzle and fell asleep in my chair. Sorry I missed DRs Danise and TCB while I was gone.
Tomorrow's a Lima day and 5:30 will come awfully early, so - 'night!
-
Danise licking is a sign of a submissive dog. Usually it is under the chin. Keith said the same thing, maybe she tastes good. ;D If you are using flea soap I hope you are getting it all off. As long as they are happy and not fighting I wouldn't worry.
-
I'm watching UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, with Kathy Bates who's really wonderful and Rupert Everett. It's a comedy-murder mystery sorta, and I think it's quite charming and off-kiltre. The cast is interesting, with Julie Andrews playing herself, Lyn Redgrave as the evil sister of the late singing star played by Jonathan Pryce whose funeral is a great moment. DR Jose's close personal friend Jack Noseworthy plays the son of Kathy Bates and Dan Ackroyd. There's a lovely scene for Bates and Everett in a British pub, underscored by "Can't Help Falling In Love with You," a song written by my late friend George David Weiss.
-
Jane, Joshie seems to be doing well. They were pleased that his gums look better on the last visit. He is currently purring loudly on my lap and patting my face.
-
Watching a motion picture and still very tired. I don't think I have a second wind this evening.

Ahhh, I'm sorry Jane. I have a water dish that was Petey's I may have used it for Nilla and Callie for a little while, but it's packed away. I just can't seem to use it for any other cats.

Great news DR Laura!!
-
TCB - come back and help me post....
-
I mean seriously we're still on page 4 without you
-
And it's a lot more fun with you here
-
Well, at least it's page 5
-
I got some of those new energy efficient bulbs for my kitchen ceiling fan/light. They flicker. Really annoying.
-
Think I'll just waste energy
-
Actually I'm trying to decide if I'm going to keep the new fixture I bought today
-
If I keep that and install it, then I can stop thinking about the flickering
-
Where is everyone?
-
Is there a big party and I wasn't invited?
-
I'm sorta here, but I'm tired. We walked all day looking for butterflies.
-
I'm all alone (with three cats)...so all alone (with three cats)...there is no one here beside me (except three cats)
-
Laura!
-
Love Wae-Ling's quote
-
LOL! Kids are something else.
-
She was as good as gold all day. We met at 8:30 and got home around 4.
-
Guess I missed my chance to see DR The Vixter's performance...
Yep I am afraid it is over....
right now the kids are all at their cast party
Vixdad and I went out to the local diner after the show with my brother and his wife who came to see the final performance
-
I left my phone number so she could get in touch with me but when I got home from work last night there was an email telling me that Mr. T's bankruptcy case has been.........are you ready for it?...........
DISMISSED!!!!!!!
He committed fraud on the court by not listing EVERY creditor!
What an idiot!
HURRAH!! Chalk one up for the good guys!
Good work Danise!

I like Wae-Ling's quote!

Guess who had to teach her that?
-
Finished with my viewing. Listening to our new master and it sounds great - I'll be sending the audio samples to the webguy. And I'll be announcing the title here at midnight.

I'm watching the CNN special about the Triangle Fire. I've seen several others. This is the one origianlly done for HBO and it's the best one I've seen

Oh, I had museum training today for our soon to open new public museum. It's a ton bigger than the old one. I think they may have too much crammed into it, but it's still under construction, so it may look better once the construction stuff is out of there. Lots and lots of really cool interactive stuff. I'm looking forward to working there
-
I'll be a volunteer. They want to start up on the oral history interviews again and I volunteered. I guess they've had a hard time finding people to go out and do interviews. Heck, I'd love to go hear the stories and get them to tell more. This could be fun

The WB site is having it's 5 for $50 sale.....so this is the time to get your made to order DVD's. The price doesn't change until you have FIVE dvd's in your shopping cart....and you can get FREE regular shipping, but they do charge your state's sales tax, if any.
I just hated seeing all of the titles I paid $19.98 for go by on the list.

This is pretty cool! At work, I need to order five copies of a title and haven't been able to, yet...now I can get them for half price...if the offer is still available next week.

And since we're so close...

And then I ended up back at the Art Institute of Chicago. And so did Monkey. :)
I had tweeted wondering if the AIC offered some sort of 2-Days-In-A-Row Discount Admission. Well, they don't, but they did respond that they thought that was a good idea. And their social media director also offered to meet me at the entrance and walk me in for free if I wanted to go back. And since I did, I did. -As did Monkey. And when I met Jocelin at the entrance, she presented me with a small gold crown for Monkey in honor of their exhibition of Renaissance Kings and Queens. :)
...And after five more hours in the AIC exploring almost of the galleries I did not make it to yesterday... :)
*I posted a bunch of pics on Twitter and Facebook. You should be able to view most of them here: http://twitter.com/JoseSMonkey
That's pretty cool! Love the pictures, Jose!

DR Matthew - ~~~~~VIBES TO YOU~~~~~

I am blessed, DR Elmore. In so many ways. I confess, I did get down on my knees and thanked God for this victory.
Congratulations, Danise!! You certainly deserve this victory! ;D

I was hoping my check would arrive today. But no. I guess just because the government cut the check it doesn't mean that the government mailed the check
lol-sad but true. CHECK RECEIVING VIBES!!

The best news of the day: My youngest brother, Jay, proposed to his girlfriend, Kristy, a couple of hours ago. She said YES!

DR Jane I may send an email to the director. I have no idea who this is. But if I do i'm not going to mention the lady who was mean to me. I would just mention how many slips are getting lost and that it needs to be computerized.
An e-mail to the director might at least get you an answer as to why they haven't computerized their requests, yet. I mean...it's the 21st century for crying out loud!
;)

Glad to have heard from dear TCB!

And...
I shall have to catch up in the morning. Time for to sleep.
Goodnight.

Boo pukes fairly often. She ate the new food like there was tomorrow, went downstairs and puked. I don't know why. The vet said cats are built to puke. It is what it is
My cat just pukes wherever she happens to be...the worst part is is that I have wall-to-wall carpeting. :P

I went in and picked up Kitty's food dish. Since she had a good amount of her dinner stuck to the sides of the dish I was going to stir it and put it back down. Instead I dropped it and it shattered all over. I am very sad now as this wasn't just any food dish, it was very special. It was a pretty little ceramic dish with cute kittens on the inside. This was Bogie, Bacall, Bosco & Knudson's water dish. It gave me great pleasure to use it again. I know it is silly to be sad about the loss of a dish but is was part of them & I don't have anything else of theirs that was special.
That's too bad, Jane. I hate it when that happens. :(

I got some of those new energy efficient bulbs for my kitchen ceiling fan/light. They flicker. Really annoying.
I got a whole bunch of energy efficient bulbs from my sister, but I still have a lot of incandescent bulbs. For the lights that I keep on for long periods of time, I use the energy efficient bulbs, and the rest, the incandescent. Recently though, I've been replacing everything that burns out with the incandescent until they're all used up. I might as well use them and get rid of them sooner rather than later.

I'm watching UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, with Kathy Bates who's really wonderful and Rupert Everett. It's a comedy-murder mystery sorta, and I think it's quite charming and off-kiltre. The cast is interesting, with Julie Andrews playing herself, Lyn Redgrave as the evil sister of the late singing star played by Jonathan Pryce whose funeral is a great moment. DR Jose's close personal friend Jack Noseworthy plays the son of Kathy Bates and Dan Ackroyd. There's a lovely scene for Bates and Everett in a British pub, underscored by "Can't Help Falling In Love with You," a song written by my late friend George David Weiss.
I really like this movie! :D
