Title: FOR NO DISCERNIBLE REASON
Post by: bk on June 30, 2020, 12:13:58 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes were discernible and had reason, and now it is time for you to post until the discerning cows come home.

Post by: George on June 30, 2020, 01:02:15 AM: Today, I'm going to have my annual eye exam. Last week, I got and replied to an e-mail to contact my eye doctor to set up an appointment, and they called me back just yesterday. They were scheduling appointments into August, but had a couple of appointments today, and I said yes! So, I'll leave work at 4:30 for my 5:00 appointment. When I get there (and I have to have a mask), I have to call them from my car, and they'll come out, take my temperature, and then they'll let me in when it's time.

Post by: elmore3003 on June 30, 2020, 04:00:21 AM: I did not sleep well last night. Annabelle stayed with me most of the night, a strange occurrence since she usually wanders off to sleep on her cushion up in the bookcases. Stella and Thatch came by, but I think my restlessness drove them off.

Post by: elmore3003 on June 30, 2020, 04:04:56 AM: Now that I'm suffering from arthritis - though not nearly as badly as Byron Janis - perhaps I should cut him some slack. His general unpleasantness at the time I worked on his show, and I do not even remember now how I got involved, may have much to do with the constant pain he must be in.

Post by: elmore3003 on June 30, 2020, 04:08:49 AM: BK, on the subject of Franz Liszt, you might enjoy James Lapine's movie Impromptu, about the love affair between Chopin and George Sand, with appearances by Franz Liszt, his mistress, and playwright Alfred de Musset. Judy Davis' George Sand chasing Hugh Grant's Chopin is like watching a shark chase a minnow.
Title: Re: FOR NO DISCERNIBLE REASON
Post by: elmore3003 on June 30, 2020, 04:25:45 AM: Last night, for the first time in over forty years, the cats and I watched Witness for the Prosecution. I remembered only bits of the film, like Una O'Connor's trial testimony, the banter between Laughton and Lanchester, Marlene Dietrich's "Wanna kiss me, Duckie?" and scar, and the wonderful ending with the cancellation of the vacation, but it's a film I could watch over and over because the cast and direction are so good. I thought the Laughton-Lanchester scenes owed a bit to The Man Who Came To Dinner, and they are clearly having the time of their lives playing off each other. I've always liked Norma Varden, who can do no wrong, but the cast is an amazing collection of wonderful character actors and I revelled in the performances.

Last night I had some and it was good, but still incredibly on the soft side. I haven't checked today to see how much refreezing it affected the taste & texture.

Post by: ChasSmith on June 30, 2020, 01:08:35 PM: Back from my weekly shopping trip. Actually, it's been more like ten days since the last, but never mind that. On the way home my car beeped at me because it's finally time for a fill-up. Which I'll do next time I go out. Sadly, I missed getting a second super-low-cost tank of fuel. The best price locally is now $1.98, up from the pandemic $1.65.

Oh well. I know I shouldn't complain about this in front of BK. :)

On this new, to me, site I am using to track the info it shows your county as the 4th highest in the state. :(

That is total numbers from the beginning.

What's the site, Jane?

I will get it off my computer tomorrow.

Rudolfo Anaya, author of Bless Me, Ultima, has died. I have had a copy for years, but still haven’t read it.

I looked up the book. While it has a very interesting history I don't think I want to read it.

I ask her if she wanted to go to the brand-new 325-million dollar Emerald Queen, but she said it was too new, so she wanted to go to the Red Wind Casino.

Post by: TCB on June 30, 2020, 11:29:33 PM: She said she wanted to go on last Monday, but on Monday morning she called and said she wasn't feeling very good, so we posted it to this past Monday. I talked to her on Friday and told her I would call her on Monday morning. She said don't call before nine o'clock.
Title: Re: FOR NO DISCERNIBLE REASON
Post by: TCB on June 30, 2020, 11:33:01 PM: So, Monday morning I waited until 9:30 (just to be sure) to call her. She sounded great, but she was worried that I might not be feeling very well, but I assured her I was fine. I told her I would meet her and her husband at 12;30, which she said was fine.

She said she wanted to know if I was feeling up to going today. I didn't know what to say. Finally, I said, "Diane, I just talked to you an hour ago." She laughed and said, "No." That is when I figured out that she was really serious.

"I called you and hour ago on your cell phone and we decided we were going to meet at 12:30."

Post by: TCB on June 30, 2020, 11:48:44 PM: So, we went to the casino, and then we went to lunch, and she never said anything about it. Like it never happened. I was really blown away. I don't know what to do or what to say.

I guess it is possible.

Many years ago, there were a couple of times where I'd gotten out of bed and turned off my then-mechanical alarm clock in the morning (it was all the way across the room because the ticking was so loud!), then fell back to sleep, and when I finally woke up, I had not remembered that the alarm had even gone off and I had gotten out of bed to turn it off. ::)

Well, I'm off to my eye appointment. I'm sure that I need a new prescription, but it shouldn't be very different.

Be back later.

Well, it turns out that I do need a new prescription, and no, it's not very different, and I'm also getting new frames, since I can. I paid some out of pocket expenses (I also had to have pictures of the insides of my eyeballs taken and I'm getting the light weight lenses), but it's still less than half of the full price. They should get here in less than two weeks. :)
