~~~Opening Night Break Legs Vibes for BK and Cast!!~~~
Thank you George!

Tonight was HUGE fun.  There was so much more energy than just a week ago.  Without spoiling it for any readers who might see the show, the end of Act Two was just so funny, the actors really embraced chaos closing the act.

Thx for the get better vibes. For colds I  highly recommend mixing chicken broth with leftover Thxgiving turkey, fresh cornbread stuffing and spicing it with a little hot Mexican sauce. 
Happy Friday to all!

I had a night similar to the one before.  I fell asleep soon after I turned off the lights at 9:00, and I slept quite well.  I woke up from a deep sleep thinking, it's got to be the middle of the night.  Nope, it was only 12:30.  Once I fell back to sleep, I slept rather well.  I woke around 5:00 with all three cats huddled around me.

I remembered two dreams from last night.  In the first, I was a student at Miami University, only it wasn't the campus of 1965, it was today's overcrowded jumble of buildings; yet I was lost because the geography was different.  I do not remember the whys and wherefores of why several theatre students and instructors and I were wondering around a closed theatre building in the middle of the night, but one instructor left his little dog Tony behind.  So, I stuck him inside my jacket and started to walk home with Annabelle - who just suddenly showed up - sitting on my shoulder.  Qw passed a building with a flower garden by the door and Annabelle jumped down and vanished, then Tony vanished after her, and the remainder of the dream was about trying to retrieve them.

In the second dream, I was recording Kern and Gershwin songs in a space like the Dave Finkelman Auditorium in Middletown, OH.  We had an orchestra of NY musicians, my producer Judy Sherman, Alix Korey, Rebecca Luker, and other singers.  Rebecca told me about fishing on a lake when she wasn't working, and I dragged Brent Barrett in to records a duet with Alix Korey.

I canceled AT&T earlier this week. So, naturally I got a bill from them this morning.
Title: Re: THE SECOND PREVIEW CAME TO DINNER
Post by: John G. on December 06, 2019, 06:02:48 AM
That meant I had to call AT&T and be lied to again by them. It seems though the account was canceled, they hadn't turned off the automatic payments, so, if I hadn't called, they would have taken money from my account until I did call.
Title: Re: THE SECOND PREVIEW CAME TO DINNER
Post by: John G. on December 06, 2019, 06:03:38 AM
Then they lied to me and said that the bill I received this morning had actually been received before I canceled the service.

I wonder if the lying constantly makes them feel better about working for a morally bankrupt company.
Title: Re: THE SECOND PREVIEW CAME TO DINNER
Post by: John G. on December 06, 2019, 06:04:50 AM
I was talking with a woman recently who retired from AT&T and she had to cancel her service for many of the same reasons that I had, including worst customer service on the planet. "They can continue to give me my pension, but they aren't going to give me phone service anymore," she said.

The reviews for Jagged Little Pill are all over the place. I loved the album when it came out in the 1990s, but do I want to see it as a musical? I don't know. Certainly more than I would want to see Moulin Rouge. The Tonys should have a category this year for best jukebox musical. With the Dylan musical coming up, 'tis the season.

Well this is interesting.  Amazon says that my copy of Cole Porter's The New Yorkers (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Y994S54) will be "Arriving today by 11 PM." BUT the updated tracking info shows this latest update:

Friday, December 6, 10:59 AM
Package arrived at a carrier facility
Lathrop, CA US

So, it was in California at 37 minutes ago and it's supposed to be delivered to Tumwater by 11:00 pm tonight?  Right. ::) Since it's being delivered to my work, I probably won't get it until Monday.  The building's not open for deliveries tomorrow.

DR TCB once I not able to get a cat the needed care due to a sick baby.  It was gut wrenching for me.  When our cat, Bogie, was diagnosed with diabetes we opted not to treat her due to her temperament.  Are there pills you can give Nicky the same way you are giving him his pain meds, along with a special diet?

When Bogie was diagnosed with renal disease he tolerated the fluids well but after awhile he did not want any more pills.  I would have to show him my hands were empty in order to pet him or he avoided me.  That is when I made the decision it was time.  I let him/us have a few days free of medications and the side effects and then we said goodbye before he became seriously ill.

I hope this helps you feel better about what you decide.  Whatever it is, please do not feel guilty.  At his age he shouldn't be hiding to avoid treatment, but he might be fine with it if you want to try it. 

Sending vibes of comfort & acceptance.

AT&T sucks flamingo eggs!  When we dumped them except for internet, they raised our internet rate from $39 to $79 a month because it wasn't "bundled".   :-[

I left AT&T several years ago, in disgust over the poor customer service and high price for cell service. But I hadn't been with T-Mobile very long before I experienced customer service that was even worse. I'm now back with AT&T and haven't had any problems--and am paying much less than T-Mobile. I even found a very nice and helpful person at one of the AT&T stores.

I considered Consumer Cellular, but their reps--at least in my area--all work out of Target stores. I question how much service you'd get from them. If anyone has any experience with Consumer Cellular I'd be interested in hearing it. We all depend on our phones, but good options seem difficult to come by.

Thank you very much to all of you who offered vibes and good wishes for Nicky.

Nicky’s doctor told me that she had a conference to attend today, but that she would call me either this afternoon or this evening.
Title: Re: THE SECOND PREVIEW CAME TO DINNER
Post by: TCB on December 06, 2019, 11:17:29 PM
She did neither.
Title: Re: THE SECOND PREVIEW CAME TO DINNER
Post by: TCB on December 06, 2019, 11:18:35 PM
Apparently, she also failed to call in Nicky’s new prescription for pain.
Title: Re: THE SECOND PREVIEW CAME TO DINNER
Post by: TCB on December 06, 2019, 11:19:38 PM
I guess I should have called the pharmacy myself, but I kept expecting to hear from her.
Title: Re: THE SECOND PREVIEW CAME TO DINNER
Post by: TCB on December 06, 2019, 11:20:12 PM
She is not filling me with confidence.
Title: Re: THE SECOND PREVIEW CAME TO DINNER
Post by: TCB on December 06, 2019, 11:21:39 PM
I can understand if the conference kept her busy all during the day, but what kept her from calling this evening.
Title: Re: THE SECOND PREVIEW CAME TO DINNER
Post by: TCB on December 06, 2019, 11:23:49 PM
Perhaps, “a conference” is actually a euphemism for a wild sexual weekend party.
Title: Re: THE SECOND PREVIEW CAME TO DINNER
Post by: TCB on December 06, 2019, 11:24:02 PM
It could be.

Poor Nicky is currently sleeping, but he has had a pretty bad day.
Title: Re: THE SECOND PREVIEW CAME TO DINNER
Post by: TCB on December 06, 2019, 11:28:29 PM
The drive home yesterday was a nightmare.  Nicky was constantly yowling at me, but about half way home, he began letting out this horrible sound that seemed to be half pain and half terror.
Title: Re: THE SECOND PREVIEW CAME TO DINNER
Post by: TCB on December 06, 2019, 11:31:01 PM
He let out this sound five or six times, and then silence.  I almost drove into a ditch.  I was trying to figure where I could pull over to check his breathing.  I thought he had died.   Finally, he began to meow again.
Title: Re: THE SECOND PREVIEW CAME TO DINNER
Post by: TCB on December 06, 2019, 11:32:53 PM
Sometime in the night, he let out that same horrible sound five or six times.  By the time I got to the bathroom, he was calmly drinking water and giving me a puzzled look.

I read an interesting thing in this month’s ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY.  Weekly..... this month?  Do you see a problem there?
Title: Re: THE SECOND PREVIEW CAME TO DINNER
Post by: TCB on December 06, 2019, 11:54:10 PM
Anyway, they were talking about Tom Hanks as a likely candidate for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for BEAUTIFUL DAY.   And Matthew Rhys is actually the lead actor in the film.  I had never heard that before.

Back from what I'd call a great opening night.  More in the notes.
