Title: HELLO, DOLLY!
Post by: bk on February 13, 2019, 01:20:22 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes said hello to Hello, Dolly, and now it is time for you to post until the Hello, Dolly cows come home.

Post by: bk on February 13, 2019, 01:21:30 AM: And the word of the day is: SYNASTRY!

Post by: George on February 13, 2019, 01:39:44 AM: First post after BK!
Title: Re: HELLO, DOLLY!
Post by: George on February 13, 2019, 01:43:02 AM: I'm happy that Betty Buckly and the whole production were so good! The only time that I've seen her live was in Sunset Blvd. in 1995 and she was fantastic...IMHO (in my humble opinion, in Internet lingo).
Title: Re: HELLO, DOLLY!
Post by: George on February 13, 2019, 01:55:40 AM: Well, I got a text from work yesterday saying that my building was (finally) going to be open, but not until noon. So, I get to sleep in again, but not as late as I have for the last several days. AND the building will close at 5:00 p.m. So, it'll be a short work day.
Title: Re: HELLO, DOLLY!
Post by: George on February 13, 2019, 01:56:24 AM: Hopefully, the rest of the week will have normal, regular hours so that we all won't have to keep using vacation time or personal leave, because we've now used up all 16 hours of emergency leave that we get per year.
Title: Re: HELLO, DOLLY!
Post by: George on February 13, 2019, 01:57:04 AM: And now, I'm off to bed.

Title: Re: HELLO, DOLLY!
Post by: jan on February 13, 2019, 02:00:16 AM: TOD BK, do you ever eat fresh fruits and vegetables or is it strictly fast food and wacky noodles?
Title: Re: HELLO, DOLLY!
Post by: bk on February 13, 2019, 02:47:32 AM: I actually don't eat that much fast food, only the occasional Taco Bell and In N Out. I'm not much of a fruit person, although I do enjoy melons. I do eat a lot of salads.

Title: Re: HELLO, DOLLY!
Post by: vixmom on February 13, 2019, 05:08:27 AM: When I came home I pulled into my driveway and as usual when Vixdad is not home, began the three or sometime 4 point maneuver to allow me to be facing streetwards for an easier exit in the morning
Title: Re: HELLO, DOLLY!
Post by: vixmom on February 13, 2019, 05:09:17 AM: I live on a fairly busy street and our driveway is wide enough for three cars

Title: Re: HELLO, DOLLY!
Post by: vixmom on February 13, 2019, 05:11:48 AM: It's a very very slight incline, like inches, but my car just could not get traction on the icy mess
Title: Re: HELLO, DOLLY!
Post by: vixmom on February 13, 2019, 05:12:30 AM: I ended up having to pull out and drive around the block and come back in head on
Title: Re: HELLO, DOLLY!
Post by: vixmom on February 13, 2019, 05:12:55 AM: Then I got out of the car and nearly broke my ankle slipping and falling
Title: Re: HELLO, DOLLY!
Post by: vixmom on February 13, 2019, 05:14:55 AM: So I came in the house, changed and went back out and shoveled the drive and walkway
Title: Re: HELLO, DOLLY!
Post by: vixmom on February 13, 2019, 05:15:29 AM: The snow was so heavy because of the sleet that it took about an hour and a half

Title: Re: HELLO, DOLLY!
Post by: ChasSmith on February 13, 2019, 05:47:43 AM: The plowing neighbor just did his plowing neighbor thing, and boy did it sound heavy and crunchy out there.

We got 2+ inches plus the icy glaze on top that you could hardly even walk on. Squirrels were sliding on it while running and leaping around. Sunny and clear now, and warming up to 35 or 37 or so today, so things should hopefully improve forthwith.

Post by: Michael on February 13, 2019, 06:01:47 AM: Update.
Things are slowly getting better. Most tests are coming back negative. Some things still have problems. I’ve been able to go back to the gym. Started WW last month. It is really the best way to help you take the unnecessary weight off. As of today eating better and more exercise I have lost 22lbs.

Thank you, DR Elmore. Back phrasing is such a dangerous pit. Even the best who fall in usually have a lot of trouble climbing back out.

For me, though, "Ribbons Down My Back" is the greatest trap of them all. Few come back unscarred after an encounter with that monster. And I love that song.

Post by: William F. Orr on February 13, 2019, 06:08:50 AM: Good morning. We got about an inch of snow a couple of miles from vixmom. But retirement allowed me to stay in all day. Today I will warm up the cars, but no shoveling

Get this, BK. The minute the dialogue started, and we couldn't understand a word, my Dad the retired FBI agent marched up the aisle, cornered an usher, and in minutes we were reseated in the orchestra.

Alas! Had Si taken me to dinner I might have introduced my parents to Ginger.

Title: Re: HELLO, DOLLY!
Post by: Jrand73 on February 13, 2019, 07:25:15 AM: Of course there is the story - possible apocryphal - about Champion putting Miss Rogers in the show and spending as much time with her as the union allows.... At one point he left abruptly and walked out of the theatre - where he encountered Hermes Pan walking down the street.

"Hermes, why didn't you tell me?"
"Gower, I thought you knew."
Title: Re: HELLO, DOLLY!
Post by: ChasSmith on February 13, 2019, 07:36:07 AM: Back - from shoveling the sidewalk.

Driveway is already in good shape, thanks to the PN (plowing neighbor) and the sun and the just-enough-above-freezing temps.

Yes she does. We briefly had a snow blower neighbor the winter Keith was in Pennsylvania while the boys and I were in Massachusetts. There was a lot of snow that year and the neighbor knew I was on my own.

Title: Re: HELLO, DOLLY!
Post by: William F. Orr on February 13, 2019, 08:50:19 AM: Continuing yesterday's topic, when I was in France and visited Paulette's relatives, they laughed at my French, because my pronunciation was almost perfect but my grammar was awful.

The big laugh came in Alsace when I ased if someone would pass the bread--in Alsatian! Foreigners do not speak these local languages, of which there are half a dozen still spoken in France.

And if you want to know, it goes something like Noch a petsala broht ven s'pliapt There's no standard way of spelling it .

Interesting historical fact: Alsatian is related to low German and Hitler considered Alsatians German, though they thought of themselves as French. When the Germans invaded, Paulette's father was conscripted into the army, and her first language was actually Alsatian. Couldn't be heard speaking French until the war was over.

Title: Re: HELLO, DOLLY!
Post by: William F. Orr on February 13, 2019, 12:44:05 PM: So here I am with a bit of French that I haven't kept up, some Spanish, a few phrases of German and I can still decline Latin nouns, because I date back to the Jurassic age when it was offered in high school. Now priests don't even have to know it. They can choose between Latin, Greek, and Hebrew.

My Italian is only what I remember remember from opera, and I don't think "Son of Heaven, I wish to undergo the test!" would serve me well shopping in Rome.

Tune in. In the next episode we will discuss one more language

It must be big. I didn't use the one in Ashland but did use the one for our little driveway in Massachusetts. It was electric though and only went 2/3 down the driveway.

Post by: Jane on February 13, 2019, 06:06:43 PM: We are going to be in Ashland during the SF tour and thought we might possibly drive down to see the show before returning home. Not happening which might not be a bad thing in March. If there is a snow storm the pass to California closes.

Post by: John G. on February 13, 2019, 06:44:09 PM: Watching the end of Green Dolphin Street. There was a rather impressive earthquake that was also hilariously unPC in the way it depicted the New Zealand Maori as fat white men with wild hair and grass skirts.

Post by: ChasSmith on February 13, 2019, 07:11:44 PM: Just watched Donkey Skin!

A lovely film, with, as per usual in Demy, eye popping colors and beautiful music. The restoration on the Criterion Blu-ray is gorgeous, at least to these eyes with contact lenses I haven’t worn in a while.

Maybe this weekend since I couldn't watch it last weekend. But I doubt it. The ballet is staging a version of Carmen for Valentine's Day among other things.

Post by: George on February 13, 2019, 09:53:46 PM: We also have an additional 16 hours of "Inclement Weather" that we may use whenever we feel that we can't get to work due to weather related issues.
Title: Re: HELLO, DOLLY!
Post by: George on February 13, 2019, 09:55:44 PM: Over the last week and a half, I used 26.5 hours due to Admin. closing the building, so I and everyone else are very happy that they made the decision to allow everyone to use Emergency Leave for all the time that we were off.

Either they couldn't walk the slippery streets or use their electric wheelchairs. I am not sure a solution for making the streets and sidewalks more accessible was sorted out.

Bottom floor in case the power goes out, and an attached parking garage? Low HOA fees as well.

The taxs and the insurance here in NY are the killer, our actual mortgage loan payment was about a quarter of our monthly payment
