My ask BK question for the day:


Can you please return the "spell check" feature to HHW?

If I knew how I would.  This site is so antiquated it's a joke.  And there's no one around to fix it, make it easier, or tell me how to do things.  Ridiculous, but the way it is until I just have the whole damn thing redesigned.

[TCB]

DR MBARNUM...  I think you can get spell check back if you surf HHW using the FIREFOX browser.....I think it depends on the browser you are using whether to have SC or not.

Nope, spell check is not available in Firefox. I use it and it's not here.

It is when I use Firefox.

My friends Ron and Patrick are tring to get me to go out to our local gay bar this Friday night.

I just don't know that I am in the mood to sit around feeling old amongst a bunch of annoying 20-somethings while dance music I don't know is blaring.

I told Ron that if he could get them to play some Bollywood music I would go.

PS: I have not been to this bar before. Last time I went to a gay bar in Salem must have been well over ten years ago, and that one closed down several years back. Even then the only guys our age were the lushes (among them, one of my ex boyfriends) who are usually drunk as a skunk.

I have, on the other hand, during these last 10 years, been to gay bars in Portland where the clientele is better, and they have naked dancers on stages.

Portland has always had nice gay bars.  The ones I used to frequent when I lived in Portland are probably all gone by now.  However, they never had naked dancers when I lived there.  Does Oregon still have the crazy law where taverns must close at 12 or 1, and the cocktal lounges could stay open until 2.

Taverns have stayed open until 2 am in Oregon all of my bar going days, so that law must have changed prior to 1984.

I went back to Firefox and tried putting in errors, and I got the red line.

Oh please, I was still in high school then.

Okay, yes it was the early Seventies.

der Brucer - elmore's explanation is basically correct. 

After I learned the hell they put BK through, I only purchased used copies of recordings from their inventory so they would never see a cent from me! Nobody dumps on my friends.

You dump on me.

That's right! I do.

You always hurt the one you love.

Around 3pm, I was suddenly quite sleepy and an hour later I awoke. I've been proofreading ever since. I did have one unpleasant email to deal with as well.

[George]

I always thought it hilarious on the London cassette recording of "A Little Night Music" that they broke "In Praise of Women," so that it starts on side A and then finishes on side B.

Remember 8-track tapes??  Just about every song was broken up into chunks because of the limited amount of room.

[George]

My wife was as Costco today, and some employee pushing a merchandise cart accidentally ran into her back.

 

My wife has had 3 back surgeries.

She's now lying down with a heating pad on her back and will be going to see her doctor tomorrow.

 

~~~Vibes for DR Druxy's Wife!!~~~

Now they have to change their board to "Ø Days without Incidents."

[Matthew]

Leaving the house to go to a production meeting and a rehearsal.  Timing couldn't be better because I am ready to go crazy

Yes, DR George.  My friend demonstrated his brother's 8-Track for me once.  I was dumbfounded when I observed that songs were broken up between tracks and thought why would anyone buy one of these?

[Laura]

Good thoughts and prayers for Mrs. Druxy.

Well, it took me longer to drive to the doctor's office than the amount of time he spent examining me.  But I sort of expected that since I was a new patient to him (my regular doctor has gone AWOL from that office.)
 Anyway, he told me I have a malicious bug that's been going around that totally wipes out its victims.  He told me that he's seen several basketball players from a local high school that were in worse shape than me!  He prescribed an antibiotic and, as a precaution, sent me to the labs to get a chest x-ray (because of the crackling in my lungs)
So I plan on taking the rest of the week off from work and just loaf around the house.  Maybe I'll do a SMASH marathon!

Thanks, DR TCB!  (Though I'm wondering if watching 5 hours straight of SMASH might hinder my recovery...)

[Dan (the Man)]

The local PBS channel is showing PHANTOM OF THE OPERA concert again tonight.  I didn't see Act One the first time.

Whoa!  The close ups certainly don't do the "girl" playing Meg any favors.  But I think we have a potential Baby Jane for any upcoming stage adaption...

[Dan (the Man)]

Meow!

[Dan (the Man)]

I think I'll catsup with today's posts...

[Laura]

Glad you got in to see a doctor, Dan (the Man). I hope you are feeling better soon!

VIBES THE MEDS WORK QUICKLY!!!

Does this "bug" have a name?

When do you get the results of the x-ray?

[Dan (the Man)]

DR Elmore I am also confused about your twitter problems. When you go on twitter you only see the tweets of the people you follow. But even if say you followed 500 people. Twitter even lets you put people into lists. So you can just view one category of people at a time. This is what I do. For example I follow alot of authors. I have them all in a folder called "authors". So any time I wat I can just look in that list and I see only their tweets.

I seem to be getting as well the damned tweets of every person I'm following, not simply their tweets. I wouod swear everyone tweeting our E&T DR Jose, for exammple, is also sending them on to me. So, I have to say that, even if I weren't sifting through a million of "I'm at the bakery," the pornographic ones an orchestrator friend sends out thinking he's funny, as well as the others are a perfect waste of time and sense.

You can unfollow people if you don't like their tweets. Or make a special list of the people you find worthwhile. Then you can just look at that list.
It makes it much easier to read only the tweets of interest.

I've reached the conclusion that there are no tweets of interest!

Well, that's because you don't follow *me*!  My tweets are sublime bits of whimsy that detail the absurdities of this world, along with what I had for lunch.

[TCB]

Thanks, DR TCB!  (Though I'm wondering if watching 5 hours straight of SMASH might hinder my recovery...)

It would probably ruin my health (if that is possible).

[Dan (the Man)]

Thanks Laura and Jane!

The doctor had s name for the bug but all I can remember was that it sound like "mala-copy"?

I had to take 2 antibiotics as soon as I got home, and as always happens when I take antibiotics, I fell right asleep for 2 hours.  So I guess they are working one way or another...

I think that Raoul looked better at a distance, as well.

[Jane]

Two antibiotics.  I hate taking even one.  I suggest when you finish the antibiotics you follow them with an equal round of Lactobacillus acidophilus.

Feel better, DR Dan(theMan)!

I had to write a piece on Appalachia for the producer of the Christmas show. That's revving up again.

[Dan (the Man)]

I have to question the wisdom behind this POTO 25th Anniversary concert.  There must have been a great deal of time and expense spent in redesigning and restaging the show.  But for what purpose?  The concert seems to celebrate the original long running show by blowing it up and over-inflating out of its already larger than life proportions.  The Les Miserable concert managed to keep itself a stripped down version of the show (while over emphasizing the performers and the music, which wasn't a bad idea.) This Phantom concert strikes me as over-packed and leaves me not wanting more...
