Well, you've read the notes, the notes put their pants on, and now it is time for you to post until the without pants cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: SQUIRL!
-
Good morning /afternoon
-
Thanks for the travel vibes. I could use some be well vibes with those as my stomach is not doing well.
-
DR George, the elephants went in a circle toching the baby as you described it. In this case they all circled the baby many times while touching her, except when the big guy broke away to walk up to us.
-
First post after Jane.
-
Where are you, Jane?
-
Sitting on couches at the hotel. Around 11:00 our hotel tour guide will drive us to the airport.
-
Oh, okay. Safe journey for you both.
-
Good night.
-
First post after TCB, after Jane, after BK!
-
Thanks.

Be well vibes and xylophones for Jane.

BK, Congrats on your Golden something award at The Second Disc, for Two for the Road!

And now, to bed.
Have a good day, all!

Bruce, were you Dromio of Syracuse or Ephesus?

Everyone have a good day.
-
Good morning, all!

Safe travel vibes to Jane

Last night I had both kitties cuddling up to me as we slept. I do believe that little Thatch's eyes are finally cleared up.
-
Around 10:30 I will head down to 23rd Street for my 11:45 appointment. Tomorrow, I expect Joshie will have some work for me on Hey Look Me Over! for Encores!
-
In the meantime I have Me and My Girl sitting here. And I wait on How To Succeed In Business . . .
-
Wednesday....and it is up to a sweltering 11 degrees.
-
The Kritzerland Show sounds as if it going to be GREAT!
-
Here is one of the wild dog photos that DR JANE was talking about. There are some videos as well on BookFace.

All was quiet this morning until Wonder Woman objected to The Flash's playing with her big paper bag. As soon as she set him straight, she went back to her bird watching.
-
Well DR ELMORE she MUST keep order in her world, that's her job!

Page Two!!!
Today is giant monster day on TCM including a 2 p.m. EST showing of ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN.....which would be great on a double bill with ONE, TWO, THREE.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Miracle vibes for BK, travel vibes for DR Jane, and health vibes to the rest of us and our respective animals!
-
A little wealth wouldn't hurt none, either.
Just thought I'd throw that in.
-
So, on to another morning/afternoon of cleanup and rearranging and straightening, and another afternoon/evening of listening and watching ketchup.

The PowerBall is like $800 million dollars - which would be nice.

One of the other things I liked about ONE,TWO,THREE is that Arlene Francis was in it.
We watched her every Sunday night on "What's My Line", and I thought she was the funniest most sophisticated woman in the world.....and she kept being in Broadway plays. She talked about them....and then they closed.
-
I rest my case.

Syracuse.

I'm up, I'm up - about seven-and-a-half hours of sleep and weird dreams.

Last night I had both kitties cuddling up to me as we slept. I do believe that little Thatch's eyes are finally cleared up.
Hoo and Ray!

I am home and back to Me and My Girl.
-
Back from morning stuff and will now futz and finesse and then write new pages.
-
Our very industrious producer on our reading uses the smiley emoticon quite often, and I'm having trouble telling at times whether he's just saying something with good feeling and good humor, or if he means to suggest that he might be joshing about something. So sometimes, I find myself having to ask!

The first time I ever went to a live taping of a TV show was the game show PAY CARDS, where I went with my mom, and the special celebrity contestant (to my great delight) was none other than Arlene Francis. After the show, my Mom and I and others rode in the elevator with her, and I was at that age startled that Arlene Francis had no handlers or secretary with her, but (wearing a rain hat which made her look just like one of us) chatted affably with everyone as if she were just another person on the elevator as opposed to the celeb guest we'd just watched. I enjoyed seeing her on TV even more after that.
(IIRC, she even just hailed a cab as she left the building and didn't even seem to have a car waiting for her.)
-
Wednesday afternoon greetings! Yesterday’s water problems lasted most of the afternoon and made for kind of a weird day. Everything seems OK today.
-
I rest my case.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOH9cNLUHGA
That was delightful - thanks, DR JRand!
-
I hope DR John G is feeling better and DR Jane’s travels are going smoothly.
-
Good afternoon, all.
-
Travel vibes for Jane.
-
I’m seeing my doctor today. I have to get an okay from her that I’m only suffering from allergies and nothing that would force a delay in the surgery.
-
Futzed and finessed all of yesterday's pages and wrote one additional new page. Now we do our coaching session for three hours, then I'll eat, then I'll write at least another nine pages, but I know where I'm going so that's good.
-
What an afternoon. My work calendar didn’t remind me of the doctor’s appointment, so I had to race here.
-
And I am now waiting with a mask on.
-
Very humid.
-
I was in midstream on a request with a coworker. I guess we’ll finish that tomorrow.
-
Let’s move on.
-
Three!
-
Hello, everyone.
-
Today was another Dental Day. I was in the chair for three hours as the dentist finished up Root Canal #1. He had a lot of trouble finding all the canals, so it took three visits to do one root canal. I return in two weeks to start Root Canal #2. I hope it goes more smoothly!
-
I treated myself at the little bakery a few doors down. Not the greatest bakery, but right on the way to my car! Who could say no??

Be-well vibes to Jane.

Continued be-well vibes to John G.

Speaking of being well, I was worried that I might not be well enough to see the dentist today. I've been starting to come down with a cold several times, but I take Sambucol and echinacea and it clears up. I was fine today. I really wanted to have this over with.
-
Jane and Keith have had one incredible trip! The trip of a lifetime, I'd say.
-
Be well, everyone.
TTFN.
-
The kitties and I are watching All's Well that Ends Well. We all like it better than Love's Labours Lost.
-
It's quite stunning. The Countess is one of the greatest "old lady" roles ever written, I do believe, and Celia Johnson is perfection as the Countess of Rousillon. I loved Angela Down as Princess Maria in the BBC War & Peace, and her Helena looks like a Vermeer painting sprung to life. The whole cast is excellent, and the scenes are wonderfully written: the bargain between the King of France (Donald Sinden) and Helena is really scrumptious.
-
Annabelle and I think that Parolles and Lucio in Measure for Measure are too much alike: overdone and boring. Sometimes the comic relief is neither.
-
Page three? Really?
-
Coaching session was really fun and I'll talk about it more in the notes.
-
Then Alby and I went to Islands for dinner.
-
Now I'm home and ready to write new pages. I'll try to do six or so right now, and the rest after a movie.
-
Good evening!

Severe weather vibes for everyone on the east coast.

Nicky is now on opiates
-
When I got home from the old actor's lunch, Nick was laying in the middle of the hall. When he tried to get up, he was in a lot of pain. I reached down and touched him on the back, and he cried out.
-
Well, I don’t have the flu, which means the surgery should still be on. I’m taking an antibiotic, Azithromycin, for a few days.
-
So, I called the vet and she first suggested that I bring him in to the office. I pleaded for an alternate idea. She said that due to his thyroid and renal problems, she had to be careful what she gave him. But she decided we could try these opiates for a few days.
-
Safe travel vibes to Jane
Thank you. So far safe with the first 2 flights. We are in Dubai with a couple of hours to stretch before our flight to Seattle.
-
Watching an interview with Eric Rohmer, a director I really like.
-
I went and picked them up, and when I got home I have him a dose. It is preloaded in syringes that I spray in his mouth, either on his cheek or under his tongue. After the dose, he wanted a few cookies, then he drank some water, and then he went to bed. I hope that means it is working.
-
I haven't felt well since yesterday and was worse this morning. Needless to say I got motion sickness on the plane. Thank goodness for barf bags.
-
We are close.

Thanks for the comment DR GINNY.
DR FJL I enjoyed your story very much - I also loved Arlene in THE THRILL OF IT ALL......
-
I shall be interested to read about the coaching session.
-
THE AMAZING RACE started tonight, and I actually like almost all of the teams - so far. The Big Brother team was not obnoxious like most other Reality "Star" teams.... They came in second tonight.
The eliminated team was never going to win, so they may as well go home first as later.....
-
Well, it's time for me to leave work. I'm going to a friend's house. He lost a bunch of weight and has some shirts that might fit me now. We'll see if they fit...and if I even like them. ;)
Be back later.
-
This drug seems to be putting me to sleep.
-
Made it halfway through Terence Davies’ The Long Day Closes. Interesting period film.
-
But I can’t stay awake.
-
Good night, all.
-
Good evening.

Poor Nicky. Hugs, TCB.

Awful. Vibes the rest of the work goes smoothly!
-
Get some good rest, John and Jeanne. Jane, I hope you feel ok for the rest of your trip home.
-
We are supposed tO get hit with a blizzard tOmorrow
-
If it comes I just hope it hits early and hard so that we are not all forced to go to work
-
Watching a movie. I wrote about six pages so far and will continue in about two hours with the other four. I'm enjoying writing this one so far - a lot of this one is coming to me as I write, which is my favorite way. The central plot device doesn't actually kick in until part two, so part one is a character study and covers many decades. I'm constantly having to stop and research stuff, so that's always fun, too.
-
Oh TCB health vibes for Nicky and coping vibes for you
-
I keep falling asleep
-
I did get up at 6
-
Took a shower washed my hair, blew it dry, dressed
-
Gassed up the car
-
Went grocery shopping
-
Came home put the groceries away
-
Emptied the dishwasher
-
Made lunch fir Vixdad and myself
-
Cleaned up the kitchen
-
Drove Vixdad to the station because his car was still in the shop
-
And got to work by 815
-
Not loving this movie, so I'm taking another break to write a few more pages.
-
It was looking to be a productive day at work too until 3:30 when a phone call ruined the next 2 1/2 hours
-
But the good news was that Vixdad's car was fixed so I drive to the dealership where I waited for 15 minutes while some old mechanic was regaling another customer with the tales of his weathertelling bones, apparently his back and knee could foretell the fall of the snow within an inch
-
They couldn't however alert him to the nonstop ringing of the phone (which he never answered) or to my presence (which he likewise ignored so absorbed was he in telling how his chiropractor relied so entirely on his bones' amazing weather forecasting prowness
-
Finally another mechanic wandered in, asked me if I there to pickup a car and started to help me. Then the phone rang again he answered and immediately put it on hold. I told him to take the call and that the phone had been ringing non stop fior 15 minutes without being answered
-
It was a customer seeking the status of their car (mind you the shop was now due to close in 15 minutes and we are expecting a blizzard to start tonight)
The younger guy helping me asked Mr Weatherbones if the car was ready and he just shrugged and said ... "It kind of got buried in the shop". Which I took to mean that it was ignored , much like the phone and myself
-
So the younger fella tells the poor person on the phone that it wasn't ready yet and to check back tomorrow
-
Then I paid for Vixdad's car's repairs, (his car has been there since last Friday) took the key and headed off to the supermarket
-
My mother told me that she could not ride out the storm unless she had a package of instant oatmeal and a jar of bread and butter pickle chips
-
The first supermarket I went to had absolutely no parking... People were circling the lots waiting for a space to open so I left there and went to a second market where parking was no problem but the lines to checkout went around the store
-
45 minutes later I finally had my mother's items and headed over to her house, but I could not tarry as I had to get back to the train station to get Vixdad at 8:15
-
I made it with a couple of minutes to spare so I popped into the 7 11 and bought a powerball ticket
-
Then back to the car just as Vixdad's train pulled in
-
Then I drove him back to the dealership so he could get his car and then we drove our respective cars back home
-
When I got out of my car Vixdad was hopping mad... The check engine light was still on and it appeared that $261.00 and 5 days later the car was in the same shape as when it was brought in
-
Mind you his car first started showing problems on December 23rd so he's been without it for some time
-
The first mechanic (after 2 days) said the issue was related to something the dealership had done last visit and recommended he return there with it and thecar had been at the dealership since last Friday.
-
So far 2018 has not been Vixdad's year
-
Good evening.

So far 2018 has not been Vixdad's year
When you win the Powerball, you can buy him a limo.

Well, vixmom last posted two hours ago, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that she is no longer here.
-
I hope none of our East coasters has to be anywhere tomorrow. That sounds like a scary storm.
-
I guess the west coast is about the only place that has temperatures above freezing tomorrow.
-
Nicky slept for about four and a half hours. When he woke up he was giving me some very strange looks. I believe he is totally baked.
-
Now he has wandered away to the living room, but he seems to be moving a lot better.
-
I hope this medicine is a success. It kills me to see him hurting.
-
Where is George tonight?
-
Oh, that’s right, he went to a friend’s house to see about some shirts.
-
PAGE SIX DANCE!!

Well, it's time for me to leave work. I'm going to a friend's house. He lost a bunch of weight and has some shirts that might fit me now. We'll see if they fit...and if I even like them. ;)
Be back later.
I went to my friend's house (he and his wife live in the same condo complex as me, so I was able to walk there), and he had several shirts, a couple of t-shirts and a couple sweaters that I took. I only tried on one of each and so far, they all fit. Score! :D
-
Nice save, George.

A friend of mine lost a lot of weight, and he gave me a number of shirts and vests. Unfortunately, they are too big for me, also.
I have a bunch of my old 4X shirts that are still in very good condition. A friend told me that she knows someone who could tailor them to a smaller size. My friend didn't know how much the woman charged to do that, but thought that it might be cheaper than new shirts. Someday, I'll look into that.
-
I would worry about how they would look after they were tailored.
-
I would worry about how they would look after they were tailored.
True, but I would think that it would be a fairly simple process. When I was in high school show choir, we had to make (or have made) our shirts and vests. The pattern that was chosen for the group didn't come in a big enough size for me, so a friend took me to the home ec teacher (my friend was in her class) and the teacher quickly adjusted the pattern to a larger size. I'm sure that taking in the shirts would be as simple.
