Was watching a 1930s pre-code Barbara Stanwyck movie last night titled SHOPWORN. In the film Babs was trying to bone up on her vocabulary by learinging new words out of the dictionary in order to impress her college educated boyfriend. One of the words on her list was "Ejaculate." Both she and her boyfriend had a good laugh over it.

That's a nice first post to make. It seems to have drizzled last night.

Oh, yes, and I'm up and de-groggifying by ten.

Up until about ten years ago, Dolores, the hamburger place I still frequent with some regularity, had a condom machine in the men's loo.

I never thought anything about these things until just now.

I guess I can understand them being in theater rest rooms....especially important when "date movies" were being shown. That was a nice way for the guy to insure he was being "responsible."

As for gas stations, well they were everywhere and one was always open somewhere nearby at all hours, so that was convenient for one of life's little emegencies.

I guess Dolores was thinking about its 'customers', too!

These pictures make me sad.....IRT is completely irresponsible in what they did to the interior of the theatre - if they did better plays and didn't keep TELLING us what we should like, I might feel better about them.

All of their administrators, directors, and a lot of the actors come from OUT OF TOWN - they have a couple of stars they continue to call "beloved" and put them in any part they want - where they give the same annoying performance.

I think another solution could have been found for the Indiana - maybe not....but IRT was not the IDEAL match for sure.

Time to fix something to eat. It's early here, so it'll have to be brunch, I guess.

Ooh! Ooh!

It's also cold and raining here. And yes, Jo, I have congestion and sniffles. Feels like the onset of a head cold. But maybe it's just the weather.

I woke up to 7 inches of snow and it's still snowing. I called my two appointments for this morning and rescheduled them for later in the week. Since it's a holiday and I have to dig out, I decided that I may just work from home. I have enough that I can do from here to have a snow day. I haven't had a snow day all year, may as well make it on a holiday.

Would you consider making some snow angels, photographing them and sharing them with us?

If you are shopping at the Goodwill Store and you see four chairs that you think might fit around your game table, do NOT go home and measure and expect to find the chairs there when you go back.

There's a fabulous "life lesson" in this sentiment.

Go ahead and put a cherry on top, too!

I called DR elmore before going into the office, and, unfortunately, it seems that over the course of the past couple of hours, his body was telling him "Honey, it ain't over yet." So...

He's cancelled the exterminator appointment for tomorrow, however, he has decided to call in a maid service for later in the week to take care of the rest of the pre-extermination cleaning. In the meantime, he's taking it easy. -And he's still without a computer since it's down at his office.

I may stop by later this afternoon (with my laptop) to check in on him personally, and I will be sure to pass on everyone's Vibes and Well Wishes.
