Well, you've read the notes, the notes were 72%, and now it is time for you to post until the climbing every mountain cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: ACCELERATE!
-
Good morning, all!
-
I slept rather well last night, but I would like to go back to it for some more sleep.
-
I am quite confused by these TV commercials for the latest Jurassic Park movioe. I can't tell if it's a thriller or a comedy.
-
I have few plans today: I've got to prepare the month's cat food supply, and I need to do some laundry.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
Jurassic Park with a laugh track might be amusing.
-
When MR BK says it is a free for all day - I always imagine HHW turning into this.

Happy July 3rd to everyone...there's a new Broadway Radio Show up for your listening pleasure. Author Mark Robinson joins me with 12 Fabulous Flops from the 1990's. From Aspects of Love to Marie Christine, we sample some notable musical misfires. Check it out:

Off to go dancing.
I won't dance. Don't ask me!
-
I know it's a Sunday. It also feels like another Saturday. It also feels like a holiday Monday.
-
Where is this month racing off to? It's already the 3rd, and I am still lingering around the 30th of last month.
-
I wish everyone a safe and happy weekend.
Keep your pets calm, if you can, when the fireworks start up.
-
I've been very fortunate in that every cat we've had, from my first girls in 1990 through now, have been completely unperturbed by fireworks.
A neighbor once was not so fortunate. They lost a beloved old dog to his fears on a July 4th. It was just one too many times for him. The one good thing was that he had enjoyed a very long and wonderful life with them.
-
Vibes that DR JANE is feeling better during her hiatus.
-
Is it just me, or have we not heard from DR LAURA in awhile?
-
Off to a bored meeting in a few minutes.
-
The bird is not overly bothered by fireworks. But he doesn’t like shooting in movies.
-
Is it just me, or have we not heard from DR LAURA in awhile?
It’s not just you. Where are you, DR Laura?
-
OMG, it's really slow day here, is it not?
-
I postponed the laundry to tomorrow, and I have yet to work on the cat food. This has pretty much been a lost day for me.
-
It is, Elmore.
-
Very slow.
-
Too hot to nap.
-
Onward!
-
Two!

Hi, KevinH!

Good afternoon!

Cool! I never looked up any history of it, so I didn't know that it's only been around since 1990.

My 5th try was just trying to find other usable letters.
-
Just spent 45 minutes or so trying to get some new plants in planters.
-
And now I'm a puddle of sweat.
-
There's an image for you.
-
I bought three plumbagos and two salvia from the clearance bench at the H-E-B. They were $5 apiece and look healthy.
-
We'll see how long I can keep them alive.
-
Back to Hacks. I'm on episode 4 of 10 and am losing interest.
-
I'm up, I'm up - ten hours of needed sleep.
-
Missed the phone call but will call back as soon as I'm coherent.
-
No action today.
-
I'll be off soonly to have dinner with my friend Shelly and her cousin Shannon at the Great Wolf Lodge (https://www.greatwolf.com/grand-mound) in Grand Mound, about 20 minutes south of here.
-
Shannon got a job there and just got her first paycheck, so she wants to take us out...and she gets a 25% employees discount, so we're going. :)
-
Shannon's working today until then, so Shelly and I will meet her there, and of course, I'm driving my new car.
-
Until later!
-
Sounds nice, George. Enjoy.
-
Still watching Hacks. When it focuses on Jean Smart, it’s usually fine.
-
Had the nice telephonic conversation and am now having lox and bagels and cream cheese.

Went to church where for the first 4th of July time service in my memory we sang NO patriotic hymn, no God Bless America, no Battle Hymn of the Republic.
-
Then I cleaned up and reset the altar for the next service
-
Distributed communion to my assigned home bound members
-
Went grocery shopping
-
Came and home and out the groceries away
-
Then Vixdad and I went to former DR WFO’s home and took him out for a nice breakfast at a lovely and authentic 1950’s style soda fountain shoppe in a lovely north shore village which was once the stomping grounds of Walt Whitman.
-
Vixdad had traditional Eggs Benedict and hot coffee
-
Bill had brioche French toast with bananas and some kind of nuts and iced coffee
This picture is from a yelp review of the place, not his actual meal, but it looked very much like this
-
I had the vegetarian eggs Benedict…instead of English muffins and Canadian bacon there were portobello mushroom caps and spinach with the poached eggs and hollandaise.
I substituted the home fries with sweet potato fries
And I had iced decaf coffee
-
It was delish
-
We visited for about 3 hours then we brought him home and went to the hospital wher my little brother has been since last Sunday
-
We visited with him for a couple of hours and then drive home
-
We’re having hot tea and contemplating dinner
-
I’m thinking hamburgers and/or smoked brats
-
We were threatened with heavy thunderstorms yesterday and today but it never came to pass
-
There are barbecues going in all around the neighborhood and we hear firecrackers booming all around
-
Doubtless darkness will bring pyrotechnic displays to rival closing time at Disney
-
Enjoy your trip to the Wolf Lodge, George
-
You are a blessing to many DR VIXMOM.
-
Indigogo vibes for Bruce
-
I'm hoping the local fireworks are tonight and I will sit in the driveway and watch.
-
Oh by the way Bill sends his regards to all you DRs
-
Bored meeting was a nothing.....but it was entertaining.....for what was NOT said.
-
You are a blessing to many DR VIXMOM.
Thank you, that’s a lovely thing to say…I suspect I am a thorn in the side to many as well, so it all balances out
-
Love your new avatar, Vixmom!
-
Starting to watch Stardust, based on a Neil Gaiman novel. I saw this when it first came out 15 years ago. It still seems magical all these years later.
And the dream cast has everyone from Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert DeNiro to Peter O'Toole and Claire Daines.
-
Hello, 1 guest!
-
Have you ever thrown a pie in someone's face?
-
I have. It was my boss in Catskill. I can't remember the type of cream pie that it was, but I did make it a good one.
-
Months later, she tried to repay the favor. I intercepted her hand and got her again.
-
Ah, sweet memories.
-
Onward!
-
Four!
-
Love your new avatar, Vixmom!
Thank you, it was from a night out watching a band with friends
-
I was worried this would be the first day without a single contribution, but we just got one - for the new book - so, whew!
-
Getting ready to bake a peach raspberry pie. The fruit has to drain through a colander first, which is taking time.
-
That means I can watch the rest of the movie.
-
Sounds nice, George. Enjoy.
Thanks, John. I did!
-
I had the half pound bacon cheeseburger, but it didn't seem like a half pound burger, to me.
-
HOWEVER, it was really good. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
-
We also got the three meatballs for an appetizer, which were also really good...and big! Those alone with a side salad would be enough for a meal.
-
Shelly and I got desserts to go. Shannon didn't want anything.
-
Shelly got the cobbler, and I got the Great Lodge 25th Birthday Cake and cookie:
-
The cookie was simple (not bad, but obviously not homemade ::) ), but I haven't tried the cake yet. I may have a bit tonight, or I may save it and bring it to my mom's tomorrow.
-
Gratuitous Post #102!!

Uh oh...CDC recommends 6 Washington counties should wear masks again (https://www.q13fox.com/news/cdc-recommends-6-washington-counties-should-wear-masks-again.amp).
-
The latest information from the CDC shows that Lewis County, Pacific County, Thurston County*, Grays Harbor County, Garfield County and Spokane County all have COVID-19 community levels rated "high," meaning they have had 200 or more new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people in the last seven days, or they’ve had more than 20 new COVID-19 hospital admissions per 100,000 people within a seven-day period.
* I live in Thurston County. :o
-
Good thing I still have all the masks that I bought!

Thanks, Vixmom! I did!
-
I postponed the laundry to tomorrow
Me, too!
-
I've been wearing my masks.
-
Pie is now safely in the oven. It has an hour to bake.
-
That means I can start Disturbia, the Shia LeBoeuf remake of Rear Window.
-
I've heard both good and bad of the movie. I've never seen it.
-
I want to live at DR John G.'s house, where a large amount of sumptuous-sounding desserts seem to pass through with thrilling regularity.
-
Attended a lovely cookout which fortunately had an expiration date of early evening, so was home before dark.
-
So far there has been a dearth of neighborhood fireworks, for which I am grateful.
-
I have nothing interesting to report.
-
Except that I am thankful for another day off from work tomorrow.
-
I think I can make a few more posts.
-
One more little contribution.

Oh dear

Good night, friends.
-
Perhaps DR vixmom will regale us with the Ikea story.
-
I postponed the laundry to tomorrow
Me, too!
Me, three! ;)
-
I did laundry Saturday.
-
I feel as if I have enough to do another load.
-
The pie is almost finished baking.
-
Finished
-
Good night, all.

Watched a motion picture and will watch another shortly. DoorDash has this 40% off supermarket shopping discount - so I ordered four 12-packs of Diet Coke - they over charge for them at 8.25 per, but with the 40% it comes down to what I'd pay at Gelson's and you save the tax. Not bad.
-
DR Vixmom I am sorry to read the sad news about Joe. Please send my condolences.
-
Thanks for all the vibes.
-
I am not as bad as I was.
-
Finished
It looks like tomato-apple.
-
Which could be okay.
-
Except I don’t like apple pie.
-
I didn’t even know that Great Wolfe Lodge had a real restaurant. I figured all their available food would be pizza and burgers.
-
I have always wanted to stop by and see the place, but I was afraid they would think I was a pedophile.
-
Thank you, thank you. I am here all week
-
Maybe.
-
Tonight the fireworks were pretty limited. I am not looking forward to tomorrow evening. The last couple of years, it has sounded like the fall of Saigon.
-
I guess I am actually in unincorporated Pierce County. My address says Puyallup, the street signs say Graham, so it is very confusing.
-
Finished

Very nice, John!

Happy Independence Day to one and all!

I didn’t even know that Great Wolfe Lodge had a real restaurant. I figured all their available food would be pizza and burgers.
They had at least one other restaurant that I saw, but there might be another one, as well. I don't think I'd mind going back.

We saw other adults there walking around without kids.

Could you see the area where the water park is located?

New notes are up.

Up are new notes.

And I don't care who knows it.

Yes, it's right there when you walk in the main entrance. It's enclosed, so soaking wet people weren't walking around the lobby.
