So, last night I worked concessions for a fund raiser for Pizza Klatch (https://pizzaklatch.org), a local support organization for kids in high school.  They had a live auction, performers (Cris Williamson was the main draw), testimonials, and an on-line auction.  I'd never heard of Cris Williamson, but she was very good. A highly enjoyable...and VERY long...evening.  It was only supposed expected to last about 2 1/2 hours, but it was almost three and a half hours long!  Some people left early, but everyone seemed to enjoy the whole evening.

For the on-line auction, I actually bid and won a "Unique and Fun Wall Lamp."  Here are a few pictures.  This is with the light off:

I think it's made of tin and is very light.  It does bend somewhat easily.  There already were a few bent places, but they're not very noticeable at all.  I didn't have to bid the full value of the lamp, but since all the auction items were donated, Pizza Klatch got the donations.

I was awakened by the phone at 2:00 this morning.  It was the neighbor below me.  I wasn't quite awake, and I thought she was complaining about the cats making too much noise.  I was thinking, they're making that much noise romping across her ceiling?
Title: Re: THE RAINS CAME AND THEN SOME
Post by: elmore3003 on February 03, 2019, 06:32:47 AM
Then I thought, does she have a noisy ghost? About then I was awake, and she made a comment about a leak in the bathroom. I went to check: bathroom floor dry, no running water, no sign of a leak.  She told me there was a big leak over her toilet and water was running down the walls, and I told her it might be one of my pipes under the floor boards, but it could also be from another apartment.  We both agreed the plumbers this apartment's management employs are dim bulbs.

Post by: elmore3003 on February 03, 2019, 06:38:21 AM
I went back to bed and she went back to evacuating her bathroom.  At 6:30 the alarm rang, and I fed the cats.  I went back to bed, and the next thing I remember is waking to find Annabelle sitting next to me and resting her front paws on my body.  It was around 8:00, and she crawled under the blankets with me.  Around 8:30 a loudly wailing Thatch, who's been talking quite a lot lately, jumped onto the bed, and I decided it was time to rise.

This ABC "Practical Jokes" segment with Marie Osmond seems so elaborate to place, and makes me wonder how these things didn't backfire and really get the celebrities angry.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QZlQKHJ6Zs

Marie seems to be taking the weird turns firmly but keeping her cool.  Could she really not have guessed something like an elaborate  practical joke was up earlier than when she was actually told?

And while watching Marie, then another Donny-Marie-Sonny-Cher crossover video, this came on again.

Donny - Soldier of Love - 1989
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXs0r47STuY

Someone there on YouTube pointed out there that (as sexually charged as the number and video are), Donny never actually appears in any of the shots with the women, that any sexual connection between him and them was done in the editing room.

Thanks.  This issue has been a problem since May.  Then I had purchased the mini iPad which I returned after Keith improved the problem.  I worried on this trip I would run out of a charge and not have a book to read.  It was more like home on the ship, otherwise it was a pain keeping a charge. 

Keith fiddled with it again.  He did what I did after we returned home (after searching online for instructions) but then he completely turned off my tablet and turned it back on.  That seems to have helped, so once again I will wait a bit longer before purchasing a new tablet, at least until spring.

Fingers crossed.

Jeanne, I suspect their research must show them that overall, people at least getting their blood work done every year saves money for the insurance company in the long run.

I totally agree. I suspect there's also a face-saving factor. No one wants to hear "That was your patient and you didn't KNOW this??"

"The IRS made me keep all this stuff!"

For example, if you sell property like a house or condo, you save a lot by having a solid record and receipt trail of the improvements you made over the years.  That's reason enough not to throw any old years out.  :)

I didn't understand until recently that the new  $10,000 tax exemption limit deduction was a combination of property tax and state and local income taxes.

Today I saw "They Shall Not Grow Old," a fascinating documentary using film taken by the BBC during World War I.  Director Peter Jackson had hundreds of hours of film to work with, along with audio recordings of WW I veterans  (from the 1960's and 1970s).  There are some very disturbing images along with lighter scenes.  It's incredible what those soldiers went through.   It's really worth seeing.

The first 80 seconds with Carol Burnett and her (now late) daughter Carrie Hamilton is touching.  It suggests that Carrie dressed outrageously because her mom's Tv costumes (like Scarlett O'Hara and the dress made of drapes with the curtain rod) gave her ideas that it's Ok - though it may possibly have been written by the writers.)

DR George thanks for the detailed photos of your unique wall lamp.  Without them I would not have been able to imagine it.  Congrats on winning the bid.

Ditto. It is a most unusual lamp and I hope it proves to be fun as well.

I think it's nice to win ANYTHING.

Thanks, Jeanne!

Headache-be-gone vibes for JohnG!

Thank you. I think I have to move to another environment for that to happen.

George should be getting home from Lakewood soon.

I didn't go directly home after the show. ::)

FORBIDDEN BROADWAY is not a very long show.

No, but it was a good show.  Sharry and Micheal were very good, as were the rest of the cast.  Quite an enjoyable performance.  I was able to visit after the show and Sharry took pictures.  I wonder if she'll post them on FB.

This movie has one of the strangest production numbers I've ever seen. It's called Bessie in the Bustle and it features June Haver with a chorus of drag queens.

Today I saw "They Shall Not Grow Old," a fascinating documentary using film taken by the BBC during World War I.  Director Peter Jackson had hundreds of hours of film to work with, along with audio recordings of WW I veterans  (from the 1960's and 1970s).  There are some very disturbing images along with lighter scenes.  It's incredible what those soldiers went through.   It's really worth seeing.

I saw previews for that and really want to see the movie.  If it comes out on DVD, I'll probably get it for my dad.  He's a real history buff.

I was hoping that for $24.00 I could, at least, chat with some of you online, but there is no one here.

I am sorry.  I was changing the shits on our guest room bed.  We have company coming on the 7th.


I am glad you are changing the ....... what you said, before the guests arrive.

LOL

Sheets.

Oh no, did spellcheck make that change?  It's been getting hyper lately, but I need it, so I don't want to turn it off.

 

Sure, we can blame it on spellcheck.

Freudian slip??

Vixmom, what was the highlight of your trip?  The lunch with the in-laws?

I hope that isn’t a sore subject to vixmom.


I felt bad for Vixbeau, he was really embarrassed

Yes, but thank goodness he was embarrassed.

It was!  One of the funniest (to me) moments was during the Les Miz section and they were circling around the stage and had to get on and get off the turntable! :))

And then when they started singing the REAL "The Song That Goes Like This" from Spamalot! :o I was wondering if they took it upon themselves to (illegally) add that, but then in the third (I think) verse, the lyrics were different, and it was obvious that it's in the script!  Very funny!
