Well, you've read the notes, the notes went out on a limb, and now it is time for you to post until the out on a limb cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PERUSE!
-
To this day, EVERY time I read or hear the phrase "Out on a Limb," I instantly think of "Out on a Limerick (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKLRUg5J6nY&t=4s)" from The Mystery of Edwin Drood!

Good morning, all!
-
I am awake, but my timing is off this morning. I had a weird dream about the play Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme, which has a character with my name. As Bertolt Brecht once wrote, Oh, don't ask why.
-
At the moment I have nothing more to report.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
Powdered toothpaste sounds kind of vile.
-
I'm not sure how I'm feeling about this:

I've had the good fortune to perform Alexander Nevsky. I've always said that the best part of singing in the chorus for that is that you get to sit on the stage, in the midst of the orchestra, during the Battle on the Ice.
As I recall, we had coaching cassettes for the Russian pronunciation.

Wow. What a resumé!

Powdered toothpaste sounds kind of vile.
It was, as I recall.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Never used a toothpaste powder. I remember when Aim came in with colors added to regular paste. That’s the big innovation from my youth.
-
Good morning, all.

I don't think I ever tried a powdered toothpaste.
As I recall, my parents always bought Crest, but I'm checking a site that lists old toothpastes and I think we occasionally had Ipana or Gleem. Those are names I haven't heard or thought of in half a century. At some point we must have tried Pearl Drops Tooth Polish that came in a little bottle, and I distinctly remember really liking the taste and the feel of that one. Don't know why I didn't just continue with it.
I have no memory of what I used in college or in my first years after school, but at some point I decided the old Crest-like flavors were boring and I changed to Colgate. Years later my now-current dentist started me on a prescription toothpaste just because she thinks it's better than any of the standard ones. I'm out of it at present and have never been able to remember what it's called. But I'm not choosey and when I'm out of the prescription stuff I use whatever. I like the Arm & Hammer ones as well as my standard Colgate.

Not asking. No sirree.

I didn't know DR ELMORE was a son of ulster!
-
Lovely photo from DR JOHN G last night.
-
Well the sound person is INDEED the sound person....and actually DR singdaw for my 20 seconds onstage I would like to be seen AND heard.
Last night, the Bishop and I came to a standstill. I held out my hand for him to kiss my ring and he did the same.....it was quite the moment.
I think tonight I will end it with a Jack Benny hand to the face and audience stare.....
-
Slow morning
-
For posts, that is. Work is insane.
-
DR TCB I hope your arm is better today.
-
My Welsh/English grandfather was a stage manager. I know that at one time he toured with a show in the States. Sadly I do not have a single photo of him.
-
DR TCB I hope your arm is better today.
IBID.
-
The weather here is cloudy - however the temperature is perfect and it's a lovely day!
-
Page One?
-
Most unseemly.
-
Where is everyone?
-
Oh...well....that's better.
-
I wonder when DR GEORGE will get a new boss?
-
Bruce you really should drink water instead of Diet Coke.
-

~~~ARM VIBES~~~ for DR TCB!!!!!
-
A keto diet and I would not be friends.
-
Our neighbor has gotten used to not having carbs and is happy with his weight loss.
-
I think my parents used tooth powder when I was very small....and my grandmother used it....
Then when I got teeth, we became an Ipana family....thanks to Bucky Beaver.
Then we switched to Crest.
When I was in my late teens, I switched to Pearl Drops and within six months had my first two cavities. I switched back to Crest. I now use Colgate Whitening Toothpaste in a small bottle.....on my real teeth.

Charles Grodin has died.

Charles Grodin has died.
I just read that. He was 86 years old...a good, long run! Well, hopefully it was all good.
-
I'm up, I'm up - eight hours of sleep.
-
Charles Grodin has died.
I saw :(
-
The gym was easier today. I used 3 different machines plus the treadmill. I was also able to go faster on the treadmill without issues from wearing my mask.
-
The rains have started. Monumental rain. Supposed to be like this for several weeks.
-
I was surprised to see it had rained when we left the gym. After we returned home it got rather hard, not monumental though.
-
The rain is easing up now so we will likely go for a walk soon.
-
Powdered toothpaste sounds kind of vile.
It was, as I recall.
I've never specifically used powdered toothpaste, but a couple of times (just to try it out), I have used baking soda. It was weird, but it wasn't horrible.
-
I wonder when DR GEORGE will get a new boss?
So do I! :-\
-
Bruce you really should drink water instead of Diet Coke.
Where's the fun in that?? ;)

Ditto!! ;D

Ha ;)
Aside from all the reasons that stuff is bad for you, Bruce complains enough about heartburn/reflux that he should avoid it.
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Meredith Willson!!!
-
New book just published May 3rd looks interesting...
-
Hello, 1 Guest!
-
I wonder if the Guest is as tired of Page 2 as I am!
-
Page two is a weary query.
-
A plodding nodding.
-
A mighty frighty.
-
And I, for one, am done with it.
-
So farewell, Page 2! Adieu!
-
THREE is much better.

PAGE THREE EINSTEIN DANCE!

"Cheesy Mississippi Mud potatoes."
It's GOT to be good, right?
-
Hello, everyone.
-
Jane, are most people at the gym wearing masks? Is it a requirement there?
-
Good evening!
-
TOD:
I used toothpowder for a while in high school. I didn't find it objectionable at all.
For many years now I've used health-food-store toothpaste. I read about all the stuff in conventional toothpaste and made the switch. SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) is particularly harmful and I don't want it in my mouth. There are many brands available that don't have SLS and all the ones I've tried have been just fine. I avoid mint -- I don't like the taste and it can antidote my homeopathic remedies -- so that really limits my choices. I also don't want fluoride. I have no need for a sweet or tasty toothpaste. Like the old Tom's of Maine commercial said, "If you want something sweet have a dessert."
-
Hi, Kevin!
-
TTFN.
-
Jane, are most people at the gym wearing masks? Is it a requirement there?
It is required though in the two days we have gone Keith has noticed a few people wearing their masks on their chins. I have only seen masks worn correctly.
-
So far we have arrived after the morning rush.
-
They have removed the backs to some of the equipment to space them a bit better.
-
I forgot about Tom’s toothpaste. I did use it for a while in my early Trader Joe’s days because that’s where I first learned about it and bought it for what was probably a discount. Definitely not sweet, but I enjoyed it. I guess it’s still around?
-
I have used baking soda toothpaste on and off since I was young. The last time I used it I decided it wasn't worth it.
I use Colgate, fresh mint, whitening sensitive toothpaste. DR Jeanne I know, it also has fluoride.
-
"Cheesy Mississippi Mud potatoes."
It's GOT to be good, right?
Of course! :D
-
I like minty toothpaste and don't have a problem with fluoride, so I usually just get an inexpensive toothpaste. The last time I bought some, I got AIM from the local Dollar Tree.
-
I remember growing up in Los Angeles around 1970, the water was not fluoridated, and I had to take a little fluoride tablet supplement every day. I called it my "little purple pill." I didn't mind, because it tasted good. Probably packed full of sugar.
-
:)
-
Will we never be rid of page three?
-
Not before I am asleep, apparently.

When you're a chicken, and you play Puccini on the piano:

-
And on THAT note,
-
Good night, friends.
-
We are going to watch MIDNIGHT RUN.
-
Watching the last half-hour of Uptight. It's interesting to see Roscoe Lee Browne's character as a homosexual who is both accepted and not by his society.
-
Best name of the day: Someone at work has the name Israel Bacon.
-
Hey, it's a post.
-
Best name of the day: Someone at work has the name Israel Bacon.
:o
-
Taking us closer to page four.
-
:))
-
But not fast enough.
-
Four!
-
We made it!
-
Page four? Still?
-
What is this page four malarkey?
-
And on that note (F-natural), I'm outta here!
Be back later.
-
Bye, George.
-
Wibble, wobble, double nipple.
Great line from Brokenwood Mysteries. Makes me want to write a lyric.
-
Had a great dinner at The Smokehouse with Marshall. We both had the special - the filet, which was perfect and I used plenty of Béarnaise sauce on it and over the vegetables - they're not doing the creamed spinach right now so it was a double dose of the vegetables. And a small Caesar to start - all very Keto friendly and not too terrible calorie-wise.
-
I think I'll try to watch something.
-
Good night, all.
-
Finished with my viewing and two HOURS without a single post.
-
Well, not to get political, but here's something to talk about:
New York attorney general adds 'criminal capacity' to probe of Trump Organization (https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/18/politics/new-york-attorney-general-trump-organization-criminal-probe/index.html).
-
:o
-
As they say, "Karma's a bitch."

;)
-
I have no news
-
Most days are pretty much exactly like the one before
-
And the one to come
-
Vixdad is going into the office tomorrow for the first time in over a year
-
I am sure he will come home with joyous reports of the efficiency and cleanliness of the trains
-
And of course glowing reports of the selfless behavior of his fellow commuters
-
All of whom, I have no doubt, will treat him with the utmost politeness and respect
-
Then he’ll surely tell me about the flying pigs in the city and how chilly Hades has been lately
-
Yes, I truly look forward to that conversation
-
Hi, Vixmom.
-
It is after 2 in the AM
-
So I really should think seriously about getting some shut eye
-
But first
-
Hi George!!
-
I wonder if Tom will venture in before I leave
-
Oh looky!
-
I made a page five
-
Where no page five was before
-
But I really must go
-
The alarm will be calling my name befor I know it
-
Good night
-
Good night, vixmom.
-
Hello, George.
-
I finished the most delightful book yesterday.
-
It is a YA title called BETTER NATE THAN EVER by Tim Federle.
-
It is about a 13 year old boy from outside Pittsburgh. With his parents out of town, he catches a Greyhound bus to New York City to audition for E.T. - THE MUSICAL on Broadway.
-
The book is delightful. I have now moved on to the second book, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, NATE!
-
Hello, George.
Hi, Tom.
-
The book is delightful. I have now moved on to the second book, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, NATE!
In case you didn’t figure it out, the boy’s name is Nate.
-

I've heard of that series, but I haven't read them, myself. Good to know that they're good!
-
I gotta tell you.
-
Listening to Mr. Previn do Mr. Shostakovich - both win.
-
I had the rest of the onion dip with some cauliflower as my evening snack.
-
I've had no sweets at all for the past five days, as I ran out of Atkins bars.
-
And then I wrote...
-
I think I'm getting close to having three ones in my posting total.
