Tomorrow is President's Day, so I get to stay home and do nothing...except probably watch TV and do laundry.

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.

Post by: ChasSmith on February 17, 2019, 05:55:55 AM
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.

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.)

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Enjoy your new MacBook Air!

Congrats on your MacBook, DR Ginny!

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.)

Oh, my goodness!  That's terrible, Fred!
