Well, you've read the notes, the notes were blurbilicious, and now it is time for you to post until the blurbilicious cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: APPOSE!
-
And now - Dino at the piano.
-
First post after Dino!
-
BK, congratulations on the wonderful book blurb, and the title of the new book which I figured out all by myself.
-
Off to dreamland.
-
Goodnight, BK.
-
Goodnight, George.
-
Goodnight, jan.
-
Goodnight, Fred.
-
Good night, Tom.
-
Very nice blurb, Bk!
-
That is a great blurb!
Congrats, BK!
-
Off to dreamland.
Sweet dreams in dreamland!
-
Goodnight, George!
-
Goodnight, Jan!
-
Goodnight ya'll. George, how's your weather?
-
Good night, Fred.
-
Goodnight ya'll. George, how's your weather?
It was a bit chilly, but otherwise mildish. I didn't wear my heavy quilted jacket. My light jacket was enough.
-
Well, today, I've got another long day. This afternoon, I'm ushering for the silent movie Clash of the Wolves (https://www.washingtoncenter.org/event/silent-1902/) with live organ accompaniment. Then tonight, I'm ushering again for the final performance of The Wedding Singer. Tomorrow is President's Day, so I get to stay home and do nothing...except probably watch TV and do laundry.
-
Good night, jan.
Have a good day, all!
-
Gee, it's four - guess I should go to bed. But I leave this here so you can start your day howling with laughter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGFYkgjI7_Y
-
Good morning, all.
-
I want to be asleep, but i can’t.
-
Too much to do this morning.
-
Great blurb, BK.
-
I love Jackie Mason. The NY Times giving his first Broadway one-man show a rave totally changed everything for him for the better. His 1986 one-man show The World According to Me actually got him a special Tony. But it really was just his stand-up routine.
-
Good morning, all.
-
We have yet another last-minute forecast of yet another snow AND ICE storm tonight and tomorrow morning.
-
I could be wrong, but it seems like the only “regular” snowstorm that comes to mind so far this season is the freakishly early one back in mid-November.
It’s only mid-February, but I am DONE with this ridiculous winter. And to think we’ve had it light compared to some parts of the country.
Edit (and correction, I hope): Weather Channel says just snow.
-
And I’ll have to shop for a few items today. Oy!
-
Congrats on blurb, BK.
-
Good morning!
-
Congrats on the nice blurb, BK!
-
That was quite a story about your friend, DR elmore.
-
I'd never noticed before, but it's a post for the posting total: In the original "Cat On a Hot Tin Roof," Barbara Bel Geddes was listed as playing "Maggie," but when Scarlett Johansson starred in the revival a few years ago, the character was listed as "Margaret."
-
That was quite a story about your friend, DR elmore.
Very scary.
At some point in the early 2000s (I think, maybe late 1990s), I saw someone I'd gone out with in the early 1980s in a film on TV. (It was a very friendly drifting apart.) I realized that meant I could look him up on imdb and it turned out he'd been killed in a lover's quarrel a few years earlier. He was the victim, not the aggressor, though. (Another site said he had been stabbed.)
-
That's sad.
-
DR elmore was Jan 21 your typo from the IRS? If the IRS is there a way to let them know?
-
Bruce congrats on the blurbilicious blurb. I am glad you were able to keep the title without changing the name of the location.
-
Today I’ll be done with my “proofreading” of the SHREK programming. And there are too many things found.
In my humble, etc., this should not be the case with a service that’s so heavily hyped as an industry standard by its very marketing-savvy entrepreneur.
-
Good morning, all!
-
Because of the awful leg pains the night before, I took a Tizanidine last night and slept late. I did get up to feed the cats, then went back to bed until 9:15. I'm nearly 3 hours behind my usual schedule.
-
I had most interesting dreams, most of which I no longer remember. In one, people kept asking me if I had measles, and I kept looking for spots and saying, I'm fine! In another, I was managing the Drama Book Shop while the owners were away and staying at their home. We were short on help, and a mysterious young man stepped in to help. He was mysterious because he wanted to be paid off the books at the end of each workday. On my last day, he was gone, but he'd left behind his wallet full of money, and I was trying to find him to return it when I woke.
-
The end of DR Elmore’s dream perfectly tag-teams my having watched THE MATCHMAKER last night.
-
I have decided not to make my ACC trip this morning. I knew that if Cookie Dough (28 lbs.) or Historia (40 lbs.) was still up for adoption, I might bring one of them home. At 28 lbs, Cookie Dough is just the right size, but I've been wanting a dog between 30 and 45 lbs. So, 50% of me wants a dog, but the other half asks, ARE YOU INSANE? You can barely walk and you'll walk a dog? How will Annabelle, Thatch, and it get along? How will the neighbors react?
So . . . for the time being, I can only hope they are adopted soon by some loving person who treats them really well.
-
DR JohnG, what's the word on your family?
-
DR elmore vibes they are adopted. If you get a dog it should be a trained companion dog to help you walk, not one that will pull you down or trip you.
-
Great blurb! And great title for the book - looking forward to it!
-
DR FJL....what a story - every thing but the bloodhounds snapping at your rear end.
-
Snow and ice predicted for us this afternoon....so far bupkis.
-
Jackie Mason at that link was hilarious. I remember seeing him on The Ed Sullivan Show when I was little....and didn't like him much....as I got older, he got funnier.....or something like that.
-
Well, we got from the ACC a little video of Cookie Dough playing with Max:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3Hsgnrs7mA
If Amore, this little white bull terrier hadn't been adopted, I'd have run after her.

-
Good morning.
-
Elmore, you have a studio apartment and two cats, is that right? Seems to me that makes for a full house.
-
Good grief, just Leonard alone makes a full house for us. SO MUCH ENERGY.
-
Good morning
-
This morning I arrived at church at 8, set up the altar and refilled the candles, then set up coffee hour
-
Good grief, just Leonard alone makes a full house for us. SO MUCH ENERGY.
It's true, DR Laura.
And the good news is: Cookie Dough is off the adoption lists. I hope the adopters are not asses or monsters.
-
Then I served as assisting minister and lay reader
-

Speaking of SO MUCH ENERGY!
-
During announcements I mentioned that coffee hour was set up but needed servers end that we had not sign ups fir the set of the year
-
Page 3 Dance!
-
There were altar Guild volunteers so I didn't need to reset and I deliberately dawdled on my way to the social hall chatting with various people.
-
By time I got there there were servers behind the table and I just wandered over got a cup of coffee and sat for a chat with my Mom
-
Then I popped over to the nursing home and gave communion to our parishioner and her visiting niece
-
Then to the bank and then to the deli
-
Scrambled eggs and sausage on an onion roll for Vixdad
-
2 over easy with muenster cheese and bacon on a kaiser roll for me
-
A little Penzeys sunny Paris and it was a lovely, lovely egg sandwich
-
Now there's something I haven't thought to buy, or order, in years. Muenster cheese. I had it a lot in California, but I'm hardly ever aware of it around here. Or for whatever reason, I just don't think of it myself.
-
Vixmom, you said over easy. Do you go for runny yolks in your egg sandwiches? I know it would be delicious, but isn't it quite messy?
I always think back to my first ever cheeseburger with egg at the Hamburger Hamlet. The Mighty Brunchburger, and the most delicious damned thing ever, but my god, you'd have to lean over your plate every time you took a bite. And there'd still be a mess. So good, though.
-

I love münster on crackers with soup, by itself or on a sandwich.

Excellent news.

While at the store just now, I was thinking on how Muenster cheese had been more of a thing for me in L.A.
In those days I was regularly buying packages of sliced cheese, like the Kraft variety packs with three or four types, one of those being Muenster. So it was a regular sandwich thing for me. These days I see less variety than what I'm remembering from then, at least in my local store. Muenster might be in a pack of its own, but I'm usually going after an aged Swiss or a sharp cheddar and not looking at others.
So there you have it. I'll have to re-broaden my cheesey horizons a bit.
-
DR elmore's concern about the dangers of having a dog has reminded me, all but one of the nine bones I have broken were due to a friendly and/or rambunctious dog, including my own dogs. Granted four of those breaks were from the one fall on my shoulder.
-
I dislike Muenster cheese.
-
Yesterday I decided I wanted breadsticks. So I made breadsticks. I ate too many breadsticks.
-
Today I am eating chicken soup and breadsticks.
-
This morning I went to church; however, I had a coughing fit and left the sanctuary. I sat with a young woman holding her crying baby niece. It's ok, because this is the family I got my virus from.
-
So they've already had it.
-
I am glad you explained why it was ok to sit next to them when you are sick :D
-
I'm up, I'm up - almost eight hours of sleep.
-
Now I want breadsticks.
-
It has been said that I'm a good lay reader, but I think it's different than what DR VIXMOM is doing.
-
Just a reminder - no mail or banking tomorrow.
-
DR FJL....what a story - every thing but the bloodhounds snapping at your rear end.
But a good cue for the way they rethought Thelma Ritter's character for the musical. :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRikWbT6WG0
I wonder if the number was ever called "Butt Alive" in honor of the bloodhounds snapping at her rear end.
-
It has been said that I'm a good lay reader, but I think it's different than what DR VIXMOM is doing.
It's one Bacall reminder after another. In "Woman of the Year," about the sexy Russian ballet star Tess Harding was interviewing, she got a very concerned look and said about the language barrier, "I asked him if he wanted to defect, but I think he got the wrong idea."
-

Thanks.

Duly noted.

Speculations are endless.
-
Grant came by and showed me how to do the little tab fixes and I did them all. So, that's done. I went to Gelson's and got stuff for my meal. I sautéed some chicken (about five ounces), onion, then added ingredients in the skillet to turn it into a kind of stroganoff. I served it over rice and it was great - and under 1000 calories.
-
And very filling.
-

Oh yes, nice and runny, don't break the yolks don't cut it...and then when I get home put it on a plate and open it and carefully break the yolk so it can all e sopped up by the roll, then put the top back on and cut it into 4ths , and then if there are any yolk drips you can mop it up with the edge of the sandwich
-
Now I want another one
-
Okay, so you’re not biting into it whole that way. Because I can just imagine the explosion...

meunster is so wonderfully buttery

I have never thought of breadsticks as something you make, I think of them as something I am served in a restaurant.

I do my lay reading in a pulpit in front of the whole congregation, how 'bout you?

Sunday evening greetings from my spiffy new MacBook Air! I received the call at 10:30 this morning that it was ready to pick up. We waited until the winter weather advisory had expired and had a smooth trip to Kenwood Towne Center. The Apple Store was a zoo - is it ever not - but we were in and out pretty fast. All my data is there and I need to explore the new features.
-

Oh no that would never work

I have baked bread loaves, braided, rolls, soup bowls, pizza, but never bread sticks.

I dislike Muenster cheese.
You and I could never share a kitchen , no meat, hazelnuts or muenster cheese?

Thanks, DRs Jane and Vixmom! So far, so good...

I was wondering when you first posted about this why you’d be going into Cincinnati for an Apple store. Is Kenwood the closest one to you?

We've been going to the Kenwood store since it opened in the fall of 2001 and we've lost count of the number of computers we've purchased there. There's also an Apple Store at The Greene in Beavercreek (suburban Dayton), but we haven't been there.

Fingers crossed there aren't any issues.

I was thinking those distances were much greater. Just looked at the map and re-educated myself!

Yes, DR ChasSmith, it's not called Middletown for nothing ;)

The same pun is in Moscow on the Hudson when Robin Williams hides behind a counter at Macy's and tells the security guard he wants to defect.

Sat down to relax and watch something and immediately fell asleep for forty minutes.

Rarely.....DR VIXMOM....but not unheard of.

I have never heard OR seen the musical version of WOMAN OF THE YEAR....

Will someone please tell me how to make breadsticks?

Go to Olive Garden and order soup or salad
-
lol! but not helpful.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
DR Ginny, I am quite jealous of your new MacBook Air! I'm glad to hear you have a use for your old MacBook (post from a couple nights ago). All the Apple products I've owned have been quite durable, with good longevity. Sometimes it's time for a new machine, but the old one is still quite functional.
-
Last May I purchased an iPad, my first. I was expecting it to be like my MacBook. Not at all. I've FINALLY gotten used to it, but it was a real trial. I'm wondering if an Air might have been a better choice.
-
Vibes for your parents, John G. Any word on how they're doing?
-
It has been said that I'm a good lay reader, but I think it's different than what DR VIXMOM is doing.
I am most definitely a lay reader. I love to read in bed.
-
Have a good week ahead, everyone.
TTFN.
-
Vibes for your parents, John G. Any word on how they're doing?
I spoke with Mom earlier. They have her on some sort of medication. Don't know how long she'll continue to take it. But she slept last night. Dad did, too. I think that has made them both a little better.
-
I have a freelance story to write. And I don't want to do it.
-
But here I go.
-
I have given up trying to watch anything as I keep falling asleep. Go know. So, I'm listening to the master of the release that will follow the one we're announcing this week.

Tonight's final performance of The Wedding Singer went really well!
-
The audience loved it, and so did I.
-
Good evening.
-
Hi, George.
-
Hi, Tom.
-
Earlier today, I ushered for a live organ accompaniment for the silent movie, Clash of the Wolves.
-
It turns out that the film was just found a few years ago in a South African movie projection booth!
-
PAGE SIX DANCE!!
-
Clash of the Wolves is now only the second original Rin-tin-tin movie to survive.
-
It turns out that the film was just found a few years ago in a South African movie projection booth!
I looked up the movie, and there are several home released versions out there, so maybe the organist meant that the version that we saw today was found in South Africa.
-
Happy Three Day Weekend, George!!
-
Personally, I am celebrating my 7-day weekend.

Also looking up Rin-tin-tin movies, I guess this isn't true, so I must've misremembered this. :-\

Maybe it was the only two with the original Rin Tin Tin.

No...he was all male, if you know what I mean. ;)
