has bk ever had a secret HHW Word of the Day?  Like the old game shows, where if someone happens to mention it, they get a sparkly prize?   

[Ron Pulliam]

Good Afternoon!

And the words of the day are: Chocolate Pie!

And the end result is poundage courtesy of fat and calories!

[JoseSPiano]

And I believe bk has mentioned running into Mr. Graae every now and then whenever he's happened to be in NYC. 

It was my impression that Mr. Graae lives near Los Angeles now.

Spoo!  I meant L.A. (too).  And I think he was in a reading at The York last week (which DR elmore ended up not attending).

And I believe you, DR DAW, posted a link to a YouTube video of him singing "Popular" from the Los Angeles "Defying Inequality" benefit a few weeks ago.

Etc., etc., etc...

DR Ron Pulliam - Did you want to compare recipes?

[JoseSPiano]

I think that DR Jane has been quite lucky to have found so many charming contractors. 

Would that DR MBarnum have such luck.

[JoseSPiano]

Lunch du jour:  split pea soup and a roast beast sammich.

I opted for the Curried Sweet Potato Soup and the Grilled Catfish Sandwich.  -It's Friday, and it's Lent ya' know.

[DAW]

DR Ron Pulliam - Did you want to compare recipes?

Ah, is that what they're calling it these days?

[DAW]

it's Lent ya' know

Well, when you get it back, let me know.

I've had problems with MANY contractors. I find that most will succumb to pressure. Few people look forward to going to court. Unfortunately, many of us feel uncomfortable standing up for ourselves, but that's exactly what you have to do.

Wished that had worked for me! The contractor just laughed and the lawyer earned his fee by saying 'Tough Luck". When you're toward the end of a chain where a contractor has been using the proceeds from new work to complete older unfinished work you're SOL. And the lawyer even remarked that when we paid an outstanding sub-contractor debt, the contractor still got credit. My son-in-law just finished up the work, called the inspectors, obtained an occupancy permit and we moved in! Never heard from the contractor again, and a few of the subs got stiffed, big time.

DR JMK - Were Betsy's keys still on the bus? or had they been turned in to the central(?) office?  Either way...  I guess I'm off the hook now.

It's not that type of contest.

Well this was just deeply disappointing.  My dad drove me to the therapist-  we got there 15 minutes early.

 Signed in did all the new patient registration stuff and then sat in the waiting until 12 noon - for my 11 o'clock appointment.

 I finally went up to the desk and said. "We have been waiting for an hour do you know how much longer it'll be?"

  OOPS! The therapist forgot about me and went to lunch!

 "Can you come back on Monday?"

   GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! Not a very promising start I must say.

 

Be sweet next week and they will spend a lot of time kissing your butt for their stupidity!

You're right! It wasn't EINSTEIN'S DREAM, it was THE ROAD TO QATAR.

DR vixmom - Did they know if the therapist was planning on taking a very long lunch today? Did they try calling him/her? In any case, I'm sorry to hear that you and the vixdad were inconvenienced.  At least you can always count on your can(s).

The new WEST SIDE STORY cuts the Nightmare from the Dream Ballet in Act Two. I'm surprised Robbins' estate let evil Arthur get away with that.

[JoseSPiano]

Ah, there's a show about the Disney Cruise Line on the Travel Channel right now... I recognize some of those Imagineers! 

[Ron Pulliam]

Good Afternoon!

No.  My "killer" chocolate pie recipe is in storage for leaner days.

...And "Gee, Officer Krupke" has been apparently been re-staged and re-choreographed.  Again.

What did they call it back in your day....you know....the olden days?

TOD: cd player: Brent Spiner :Old Yellow Eyes Is Back a surprise gift that arrived in the mail yesterday!

I used to have this CD, but I haven't been able to find it for a long time.

[DAW]

Can I refuse to answer on account of self-incrimination?

YOU, dear David ARE the sparkling prize!  And we are all winners and receive your sparkle!

[DAW]

I used to have this CD, but I haven't been able to find it for a long time.

I hate it when that happens.  And invariably, if I buy a replacement, the original immediately and inevitably resurfaces!  

[DERBRUCER]

From the Notes:

Seriously, do they even make pumpernickel bread anymore? And who came up with the name pumpernickel in the first or even the second place? I now want some pumpernickel bread, even though I haven’t thought about pumpernickel bread in, oh, about forty-five years.

Last week Fletcher enjoyed 3/4s of a loaf of fresh baked American pumpernickel - the local market bakes it regularly - it's great with corned beef and lots of mustard. The market also sells the commercial German Pumpernickel "small breads" that are a great base for pate, smoked salmon and caviar. The market often has "marble rye" which is a light rye/pumpernickel mix

OK, first of all, any health , travel, non-fire and even non scalding shower vibes to all.

[DAW]

we are all winners and receive your sparkle!

And you can hear the gale created by the sighs of relief that that was not a euphemism!

TOD:

Sugar and I watched "Ball of Fire" and "Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?" last night.  She laughed a lot.

The book of the latter was better than the movie and would have made a great movie, but I still like the movie.

Back from the long jog, and shall now go meet Kevin Spirtas for a working lunch, after which I shall return and, at long last, address this situation of the person who has left the site because Mr. Rothman forwarded his PM to me.  It's time, I think, because as much as some people would like me to appear as the villain in these scenarios (dear readers leaving the site) - 'tain't true - never has been.

Last week Fletcher enjoyed 3/4s of a loaf of fresh baked American pumpernickel

And then he got full and considerately left the rest for you?

Hardly - I think he resented that I had eaten the first 1/4.
