Title: WHICH CAME FIRST - THE CHICKEN OR THE BISKIT?
Post by: bk on December 12, 2018, 12:21:39 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes pondered the age old question of the chicken or the biskit, and now it is time for you to post until the age old cows come home.

It's been about a month since the last time.  I keep checking my balance online so that I don't go under, but I need to confirm the balance every once in a while.

A me day, for me, was a little like yesterday. I got my new phone instead of working. I left the insufferable year-end team builder after 90 minutes of so (lousy food, overly loud video and arcade games). I went home and slept two hours in the afternoon. Finished packing. Had a good Tex-Mex dinner of grilled chicken and fideo. It was joyous.

Today I jump into the score to ZORBA, among other various and sundry things. The folks I’m accompanying in these little senior center concerts have devised what is, in my very kind and gentle opinion, an unusual lineup of songs. There are several I’ve never played that I need to bust my arse learning today and tomorrow, because our one rehearsal is first thing Friday morning.

DR Jan, I love the holiday season, but since I am barely hanging on financially at the moment, it's become for me a season of social and financial pressure I do not need to add to my other concerns.  Six  years ago, when I was healthy and working steadily, it was a season I looked forward to immensely.  This year all I do is hold the cats, pray they incur no more vet bills, and weep.

All I want for Christmas is steady work and income.

I used to love Christmas,  decorating, baking, shopping, etc. I mailed close to 150 cards every year.  Now we don't do any of that except buy something for our sons whom we haven't spent Christmas with in years.  It has certainly taken much of the fun out of the holiday for me.

This morning, I headed over to the pre-school/day care of my two nephews and played my accordion and sang songs with their school.  I do it once a year, I think it fulfills some of my brothers volunteer time. It's fun and this year, the kids attention span was longer.  It was a lot of fun

Other than that, I have a vocal coaching for a 3rd grader later in the day, and a Sweeney Todd rehearsal this eve.  I think I'm also putting a brisket in the over with some carrots and potatoes.

Just murdered: one year-old puppy Ron, who was terrified being in the ACC.  They decided he was too problematic to be adopted and killed him.  He was so pretty.

Neither.  Just a beautiful dancing tabby, although he has some of Thatch's markings and ginger and white coat.  Thatch does his ninja poses on his back legs, although he's not doing it as much as he matures; he's about 16 months old now.  Annabelle leaps and climbs but she hardly ever stands on her back legs.  Of course, whatever they do when I'm not around they keep secret from me.

How sweet.  Will there be any crossover with these people at your new job?

I don’t think he took you for granted. I think he took advantage of you, Vixmom.

Watched the Mr. Rogers documentary, Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, on the flight. Excellent indictment of Trump and his culture of hate, with only scant mention of the orange one.

I got to rehearsal and we had every intention of running and working act 2, but this happened:

Wednesday afternoon crashes shut down southbound I-5 near Olympia (https://www.theolympian.com/news/local/article223015645.html)!

:o

When I got to rehearsal at 7:00 pm, only about half the cast was there! 
Title: Re: WHICH CAME FIRST - THE CHICKEN OR THE BISKIT?
Post by: George on December 12, 2018, 11:20:12 PM
The music director wasn't there yet, either!

He lives north of Olympia, but I don't know how far.

We ran some of our group numbers with one of the cast recordings (just for music) or an accompaniment that he had previously recorded.
Title: Re: WHICH CAME FIRST - THE CHICKEN OR THE BISKIT?
Post by: George on December 12, 2018, 11:23:45 PM
Our director and stage manager were able to talk to him on his phone, but by about 8:15 pm, he said that he hadn't even been able to get ON I-5 from where he lived!
Title: Re: WHICH CAME FIRST - THE CHICKEN OR THE BISKIT?
Post by: George on December 12, 2018, 11:24:33 PM
There was no point in him (and the other people who weren't able to get there by then) to try and get there, so all the missing people were called or sent text messages to not bother coming in.
Title: Re: WHICH CAME FIRST - THE CHICKEN OR THE BISKIT?
Post by: George on December 12, 2018, 11:25:17 PM
By about 8:30, the few adults there were able to leave and the kids (most of them were able to get there) stayed and worked their tap numbers.

First, I went to Best Buy right there at the mall (our rehearsal space is a converted store at the Capitol Mall) and got the Blu-ray to The Dark Crystal and my mom some ear buds.
Title: Re: WHICH CAME FIRST - THE CHICKEN OR THE BISKIT?
Post by: George on December 12, 2018, 11:27:59 PM
My mom asked me to get some ear buds for her so that she can listen to things on her cell phone and not have to blast the volume.

She likes certain kinds, but not over and over again.
Title: Re: WHICH CAME FIRST - THE CHICKEN OR THE BISKIT?
Post by: George on December 12, 2018, 11:30:52 PM
I need to rotate through various flavors and then she'll eat more than if it's always the same kind.
Title: Re: WHICH CAME FIRST - THE CHICKEN OR THE BISKIT?
Post by: jan on December 12, 2018, 11:41:54 PM
Is fancy feast the only kind she'll eat?

I tried many different brands and this and Friskies were the ones she liked the most...or maybe I should say disliked the least. ;)

Every once in a while, I'll give her something different, but she usually won't do more than taste it.

Post by: jan on December 12, 2018, 11:48:53 PM
Fussbudgets!  Mine was the same way.  She wouldn't do more than sniff before walking away if she wasn't interested.

Yup...and I gotta make sure that I give her foodstuffs that she's willing to eat.

Last month, I randomly bought a case of Purina Friskies Extra Gravy Pate (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CWVYH2L/) and she really liked it!  But when that case ran out, I couldn't find it in any local store. :o
Title: Re: WHICH CAME FIRST - THE CHICKEN OR THE BISKIT?
Post by: George on December 12, 2018, 11:55:25 PM
I went to all the stores that I had previously had gone to, and even a few that I hadn't, and couldn't find it anywhere!  I finally found that Amazon sold it (and it's reasonably priced), so I've gotten a couple of cases from them.

I have a couple of different dry foods that she nibbles on.  She doesn't have all her teeth, so that may be why she doesn't eat as much of it.

Poor baby!  Sheba puts out these soft meat stick things that the strays I feed love.  One of them will actually take from my hand tho I still can't touch her.  Maybe your baby would like them.
