Well, you've read the notes, the notes were, unlike the day, comprised of more paragraphs, and now it is time for you to post until the one paragraph cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: CAMPANOLOGY!
-
First post after BK.
-
From last night...Tom, hopefully you can get the parking situation resolved to YOUR satisfaction...permanently!
-
Ditto but I fear it won't.

Good night, Jane.

123%!

Interestingly, the Levi campaign closed at 124%, and A Carol Christmas closed at 129% - and we've got three full weeks to go :) I have a secret goal I'd like to make and we'll see if we can effect that.

For the next three days I'm feeding my friend Dan's cats (and taking care of the litter box). Let's see if they both greet me. One of them is friendlier than the other.
-
Congrats on the Indiegogo campaign, BK!

Patrol never happened. I told Annabelle, you snooze, you lose.

The humidity is terrible.

Good morning, all.

I popped a Benadryl last night and had a more solid and later sleep than usual.
Now I’m popping coffee.

It’s shocking to hear that BK, of all people, has seen only two stage productions of Wait Until Dark, and they both sucked.
I’ve seen only one, but I drew the lucky straw. It was a community theater production about eighteen years ago, and here’s what they did. They opened the script and followed it to the letter. Not one word changed, set design (it’s in the script) perfect, lights out directions followed, etc. The entire play was gripping, and of course the icing on the cake was when the audience collectively hit the ceiling at a certain special moment. A few lucky people were even seeing it for their first time. Stunning, and so rewarding.
I know the gal who played Suzy and I should ask her if there’s any videographic evidence. On second thought, maybe not. The quality would be horrible, and I’d probably prefer to cherish my memory of it.
-
Stella seems fascinated by the things I do. This morning she's helped me brush my teeth and polish my shoes. So helpful.
-
WAIT UNTIL DARK is one of the very few films where I, literally, jumped in my seat.
Terrific thriller.
-
It’s one of those for which you never forget your first time.
-
Interesting, before reading the notes I saw first John's response and then Vixmom's and put the two together to get the question.
I am shocked neither said WAIT UNTIL DARK.

TOD Akan Atkin
I always wanted to see Akin Atkin in the role of Ali Hakim.

He was tremendous.

INDIEGO vibes for MR BK - I wish I was rich!

I hope nobody minded that I backed into the site today. Please don't tell the HHWHOA.

I love Wait Until Dark......which I saw at the movies....and once onstage...although it wasn't so hot there.....in the production I saw.

Tuesday afternoon greetings! I'm back from a noon book talk at the public library in Hamilton. Today's topic was The Library Book by Susan Orlean, about the 1986 fire at the Los Angeles Public Library. Any DRs remember that?

Why in the world would the HOA object to backing into parking spaces?

I have never seen it
One of my faves! I saw it when it first came out when I was in high school and hadn't seen it again for a long time. Richard said several years ago that he'd never seen it, so we got it from Netflix. I realized that it was the bentwood rocker in Susie's apartment that had made me want one of my own. I got mine in 1979, found out that it was not comfortable for sitting, and finally gave it to the AAUW garage sale a couple of years ago.
-
I've seen that parking restriction posted in a couple of places. One was a public parking garage for a busy commuter train station, so I imagine it's to keep everything moving as best possible, since it takes a little more time and effort to back INTO a space than to back out of one.
In a typical condo parking lot I'm not sure why it would be a big deal.

An ereader like a kindle paperwhite has no internet and is only for reading. It is not a substitute for an ipad or tablet. But it is so much easier on your eyes. I cannot recommend this enough, especially if you get headaches. It is not good for you to read on a tablet.
Keith was asking me why I don't get an HD Fire Kindle. I prefer checking out books from the library on ePub vs Kindle, plus there seem to be more books available on ePub. I also prefer reading purchased books on Barnes & Noble vs Kindle.
A kindle fire is a tablet. And is the same for your eyes as an ipad or tablet.
I think that you just got used to using B&N. You are like the only person I know who doesn't use amazon all of the time. I guess it depends what you use it for. But for sales amazon is the best.
What about the nook glow light plus. That looks the most similar to the kindle paperwhite. For someone who reads almost exclusively on an ereader I would 100% go with an ereader only.

Jane, most (if not all) e-readers like the Kindle can access the internet. You can't add apps like the Kindle Fire (it's more of a tablet with the shiny screen) or other tablets, but you can order books through the Kindles.
You can buy books on amazon. But IMO a kindle paperwhite is not meant for internet browsing. It is not a tablet. And is meant for only reading. I kindle fire is a tablet, and you can get apps and do everything on the internet. But it's a tablet and therefore the advantages on your eyes would be gone.

Can I download the books with ePub on Overdrive?
It sounds like I would not have Goodreads or Facebook but might get HHW.
I would not get a kindle paperwhite expecting to be able to use the internet. It is really an ereader only. And while there may be a backway in to be able to technically do a bit on the internet it is meant only for reading. But you will be able to read at night, outside, and it is so comfortable on your eyes. I would personally never use a phone, tablet, ipad for reading when there is this option.

The earlier Kindles that I have, have an "experimental" browser, but it's slow and cumbersome. In an pinch, it's an option. But you're right, e-readers are meant for reading. I do recommend them. I've only used my phone or tablets for sit-down reading a couple of times and really don't like it.
-
I am home from the reading, which I felt was overproduced and underrehearsed. It was nice to be out and about for a change, and I saw a few friends there.
-
The cats are fed and Annabelle wants my attention.
-
The only books I've read on a screen have been Kindle editions on the iPad. I don't read enough books on a device to warrant acquiring anything else. I keep it set to white text on black background which is way more pleasing to my eyes in pretty much any lighting situation. A dark background has always been my preference, in general, in many applications.
-
I like to think the cats and I have a good rapport. Annabelle is very good about letting me know when she requires my assistance, such as wanting to get warm snuggling under my blankets. Just now, after she let me know she needed my help, I checked her nose, and her right nostril was clogged. I needed to take her into the bathroom and wash it out with a cotton ball and warm water.
-
I was given a kindle, which I never wanted and never use. I don't like them. I want to hold a book.

Thank you for your response. I have been thinking about checking out the Nook options again. I haven't been to a Barnes and Noble store since we moved here or I would have looked at them by now.
I am not one who like change so I spent a good amount of time playing with my options, amazon vs B&N and it really is that I prefer the one over the other vs that I am just used to B&N. I would probably switch to an iPad and get used to it, if only I didn't dislike the keyboard.
It does make sense for me to have a separate ereader, but what a pain to have a tablet & an ereader, especially when traveling.

I read with a black background & white lettering which I find more comfortable. I do prefer reading on a Nook or Samsung vs the iPad.
I also browse Goodreads and look up things on the internet related to the story I am reading. I wouldn't be able to do that with a straight reader.

And actually, that setting (dark background with white text) also saves energy on tablets and devices. Dark colors use less energy than light colors, so if the screen is mostly black, it doesn't need to use as much energy. :)

I will be returning what I purchased and will definitely spend some time looking at the ereaders.

It is why I am very fussy about the cover on my tablet. I still miss the old Nook cover which felt more like a book.

I'm up, I'm up - didn't get to bed until four, doorbell rang at ten but before that the dinging of a text woke me up - but I got eight and a half hours of sleep, so that's good.
-
Drum roll: 138%!!! I think that pushes us past A Carol Christmas, which I think closed at 134%. And we're JUST beginning our second week. I have a dream percentage - hoping we can hit it. I do know that if two people who asked questions come in today we'll most likely hit 140%. To infinity and beyond, say I.
-
Back from Costco, with a 44-lb box of cat litter and after indulging in the Costco special: the $150 giant hot dog & bottomless soda.
-
Soon I must go out and meet with a Herr Schultz.
-
Back from picking up a package and getting a Subway spicy Eyetalian sandwich, which I'm eating. I just put up a perk for someone specific and found that somehow we're 137% and yet the monetary total has gone UP. I don't get it. Anyway, I know there's three hundred bucks coming in today, so that will up it, but it's baffling.

What a coinkydink! I went to Subway and had the spicy Eyetalian sandwich, also! I personalized it, though. I had all pepperoni and added sauce from the meatballs so that I essentially made a pizza sub. It's quite yummilicious! ;D
-
And that's very weird about the 137%! Good thing that it's all better!
-
141%! We've crossed 7K and that's a good thing, because all the original cost estimates are, of course, going up because we're trying to do everything to make this the best it can be.
-
And the damnable Indiegogo fees, too. And this new holdback thing they do.

Well, I'm off to the callbacks for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, to be directed by my friend pug. She won't cast me just because we know each other...sadly. ;) I don't know when they'll announce, whether it'll be after all the shows in the company's season have been cast and the roles accepted, or if each show will announce as each director decides. We'll see what happens.
Be back later!
-
Darn you won't be cast. Have a good time anyway.
-
Hello, everyone.
-
Audition vibes to DR George!
-
Richard Crenna was one of the first celebrities I met. It was on the set for THE REAL MCCOYS. I was 7 or 8. That certainly dates me, doesn't it?
-
I cannot understand how a person (me!) can be dead to the world from lack of sleep and then can't nap! Too much on my mind, I guess.
-
I had last-minute stuff to do today to prepare for tomorrow's surgery. The important stuff has been done. The rest will wait.
-
I've seen that parking restriction posted in a couple of places. One was a public parking garage for a busy commuter train station, so I imagine it's to keep everything moving as best possible, since it takes a little more time and effort to back INTO a space than to back out of one.
In a typical condo parking lot I'm not sure why it would be a big deal.
I was president of a HOA once. The rules were written so that ANYTHING could be construed as a violation if the board deemed it so. This was the standard HOA rule book. I think they did that to cover themselves so they could enforce it as they chose.
That said, I cannot understand why anyone would object to someone backing into their parking space.
-
TCB, the reason you wish to back in is so you'll be covered when you put the scooter into or out of the trunk? One would certainly think that falls within ther ADA guidelines of reasonable accommodation.
-
TTFN.

MEGA SURGERY VIBES FOR DR JEANNE!

Jeanne will you be able to post tomorrow?

FYI:
Sam Liccardo, the mayor of San Jose, has spent the past two weeks attending memorial services and vigils for the victims of last month’s Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting. Two people who were killed in Gilroy were from San Jose, both of them children. The mayor says he has stumbled for words — all that he could muster sounded like “trite pablum,” Mr. Liccardo said in an interview.
On Monday, he proposed what he hopes will be a more substantive response, a proposal to require gun owners to buy liability insurance. The idea has been around for a number of years but Mr. Liccardo’s office says it would be the first time it is actually put into practice.
It will be months until a bill is ready for a vote in the City Council, but the mayor says he is counting on San Jose, as the nation’s 10th largest city, to inspire other municipalities to take similar steps.
The idea behind the proposal is that insurance would incentivize gun safety in the same way that car insurance encourages better driving. Gun owners who have taken a safety course might receive a discount, whereas someone with a prior domestic violence conviction would be forced to pay a higher price for insurance.
“I would be lying if I said to you that the insurance companies are enthusiastic about this,” Mr. Liccardo said.

thank you!

Probably in the evening. We're doing it as an outpatient, which I am very thankful for. Fewer drugs and I loathe hospitals.

Very interesting indeed.

I forgot Richard Crenna was in Body Heat. Fun movie. I liked it better before I had seen film noir from the '40s.
-
Let's move on ...
-
Five!
-
I'm watching Creed II. I'm surprised at how much I have enjoyed these two Rocky sequels.
-
Dancing tonight was fun, but again it was hot, hot, hot (a song I played while we did some merengue). Tonight, we focused on country waltz, two-step, West Coast swing and hustle with some merengue thrown in to get people's feet moving.
-
I dozed off for thirty minutes - hadn't intended to, and now I have to hurry to be somewhere at nine.
-
Good night, all.
-
So tonight we decided to have nice healthy salads for dinner
-
Mixed greens, sliced sweet peppers, yellow, orange and red. Minced onion, sliced white mushrooms, cucumbers, sunflower seeds, crushed walnuts, dried cranberries, sliced broiled chicken breast, and cherry tomatoes fir Vixdad
-
About 3/4 through I decided to inhale a piece of lettuce
-
Vixdad had to heimlich me as I couldnt breathe or talk
-
Once the blockage was cleared I couldn't stop coughing
-
Now my throat is raw
-
And I'm still hungry
-
Next time I'm going to stick with nice , unhealth but safe, ice cream
-
I have noticed an increased issue with dry mouth lately.
-
It's next to impossible for me to eat bread anymore
-
Which I suppose us a good thing
-
Well it's Late so bed time fir me
-
Goodnight all

Your error was entertaining 😊
-
Next time I'm going to stick with nice , unhealth but safe, ice cream
As delicious as that sounds, next time cut all of the salad into small pieces before eating it.
-
Vixdad had to heimlich me as I couldnt breathe or talk
I am glad he knew how to do it. When I almost died on a cherry tomato Keith didn't know what to do. I was equally unsure when he choked on a too big of a piece of carrot.
Very scary. I feel for you.
-
Now my throat is raw
Did you have that ice cream to sooth it?
-
I have noticed an increased issue with dry mouth lately.
:( Is it due to a medication?
-
It's next to impossible for me to eat bread anymore
Tnat sounds uncomfortably dry 🤐
-
Good evening.

Good thoughts and vibes for Jeanne tomorrow.

Jane, I'm thinking it is probably the radiation treatments that Vixmom had.

Jane, I realize that I didn't write that correctly. I do have as much chance as anyone to be cast. What I meant was that if she casts me, it'll be because she thought that I was good enough, and right for a role.
-
She's not the kind to cast someone (like me) just because she's friends with that someone (like me). I've auditioned for her before and haven't been cast...fortunately, I've been cast more often than not. :)
-
Audition vibes to DR George!
Thanks, Jeanne!

I had last-minute stuff to do today to prepare for tomorrow's surgery. The important stuff has been done. The rest will wait.

Oh, look! It's Page 6! :D

TCB, the reason you wish to back in is so you'll be covered when you put the scooter into or out of the trunk? One would certainly think that falls within ther ADA guidelines of reasonable accommodation.
Absolutely!

FYI:
Sam Liccardo, the mayor of San Jose, has spent the past two weeks attending memorial services and vigils for the victims of last month’s Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting. Two people who were killed in Gilroy were from San Jose, both of them children. The mayor says he has stumbled for words — all that he could muster sounded like “trite pablum,” Mr. Liccardo said in an interview.
On Monday, he proposed what he hopes will be a more substantive response, a proposal to require gun owners to buy liability insurance. The idea has been around for a number of years but Mr. Liccardo’s office says it would be the first time it is actually put into practice.
It will be months until a bill is ready for a vote in the City Council, but the mayor says he is counting on San Jose, as the nation’s 10th largest city, to inspire other municipalities to take similar steps.
The idea behind the proposal is that insurance would incentivize gun safety in the same way that car insurance encourages better driving. Gun owners who have taken a safety course might receive a discount, whereas someone with a prior domestic violence conviction would be forced to pay a higher price for insurance.
“I would be lying if I said to you that the insurance companies are enthusiastic about this,” Mr. Liccardo said.

That sounds like a good idea!

Mixed greens, sliced sweet peppers, yellow, orange and red. Minced onion, sliced white mushrooms, cucumbers, sunflower seeds, crushed walnuts, dried cranberries, sliced broiled chicken breast, and cherry tomatoes fir Vixdad
That sounds good...except for the mushrooms. :P

Back from a little send-off for Alexa and Mia, Leslie's kiddies, who will be going off to college. Coral Cafe, natch.

Good evening.

If I had known I was the topic of so much speculation, I would have arrived earlier

First of all, the reason they don’t allow vehicles to back into the parking spots is because of the exhaust fumes going into the condos. Not so much when they are backing in at the end of the day, but rather when people start their cars and then warm up their vehicles with the exhaust pouring into the condos.
-
The parking problem is this..... The two handicap parking spots at my building ( where I am currently parking) are at the other end of the building from my condo. I don’t care about those parking spots, but that is the only handicap ramp up to the sidewalk.
-
In the beautiful summer weather, those spots are fine for me. But when the rains return (and they will); not to mention the snow, sleet, hail, thunder and lightning, I will have a very long uncovered ride to my condo.
-
Jane, I'm thinking it is probably the radiation treatments that Vixmom had.
I thought of that as the initial cause, however, I have taken medications that made my mouth somewhat dry.
-
The only thing that goes into my trunk is my scooter, or possibly my wheelchair. The reason for backing into the spot is so that I can remove the scooter from my trunk and then assemble it on the sidewalk. That eliminates the need to have to go to the other end of the building to the ramp.
-
Well, I'm off to the callbacks for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, to be directed by my friend pug. She won't cast me just because we know each other...sadly. ;) I don't know when they'll announce, whether it'll be after all the shows in the company's season have been cast and the roles accepted, or if each show will announce as each director decides. We'll see what happens.
Be back later!
Darn you won't be cast. Have a good time anyway.
Jane, I realize that I didn't write that correctly. I do have as much chance as anyone to be cast. What I meant was that if she casts me, it'll be because she thought that I was good enough, and right for a role.
I am relieved to know I eead that wrong.
-
She's not the kind to cast someone (like me) just because she's friends with that someone (like me). I've auditioned for her before and haven't been cast...fortunately, I've been cast more often than not. :)
As it should be and when you are cast it is for the right reasons.

Not good.
-
That would double the time I would be exposed to the elements. Also, with the other cars parked on either side of my car, so it would be nearly impossible to move all of the pieces from the trunk and then haul each one back to assemble it on the sidewalk.
-
DR TCB thank for explaining the details of your parking.
-
I am falling asleep
-
I am supposed to find out tomorrow what the will of the HOA will be. They had a meeting this evening at which time Rebecca was going to lay out the problem. Personally, I would just as soon have them put another handicap ramp at my end of the building.
-
'night
-
Hopefully, that covers all of your questions. If not, just let me know.
-
Jane, I didn’t see your question about taking a photo of the parking lot. I will be happy to take one if you let me know what you want in the picture.

Were you given an opportunity to talk with the board??

Hopefully, saner heads will prevail!

Oh God forbid. Rebecca is the owners representative at the meetings. Besides I have another board that I will be talking to soon. The ADA.

Hello, my darlings. George, you WILL be cast, Tom, they WILL give you your own personal ramp, I HAS SPOKEN!
-
To those in charge......DON'T MAKE ME COME UP THERE! You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
-
I would much prefer the new ramp, rather than the backing into the parking lot. I am sure that balancing on the edge of the sidewalk in the rain or snow, I am going to end up taking a bad fall,but it was the only option I could of.

If I'm not the target of said anger, I'd LOVE to see that! :D

Thanks, jan! From your mouth....

I wish I had known that you had such power, I would have gone to auditions with George.

I will send all vibes even if you aren't expecting them.
