Back from stuff. I'm afraid that after two months of biting my tongue I just went ballistic with the workers who are doing heaven knows what to the house across the street, which we're now finding out may not belong to the daughter of Annette. They've been taking up every parking space around, including all the spaces in front of my house. They eat their lunch in the shade on my lawn by the street. And today, having to squeeze into the only tiny place available I'd had it. I began getting very angry and none of the fellow standing around would even answer or look in my direction. Finally, one of the tree trimmers came to me and asked if I wanted to see the boss - yes was my answer and a minute later I had the boss. I told him that other people actually live in this neighborhood and that we've had it day in and day out with all the spaces being taken by workers. He promised it would not happen again, apologized, and had five of the trucks instantly moved. Frankly, I think they're prepping the house to sell - you can see in the windows see-through things hanging where there were never things hanging and there's no furniture anywhere.

I don't think I would want to cross you this week. So, just ignore my pay Pal complaint when you get it.

I on the other hand am headed for work. Perhaps FOLLIES will be awaiting me on my return.

I have my packages sent to my work because someone will always be there to sign for deliveries, so I'll have to wait until Monday...at the earliest.

You won't believe it - someone DID open a paypal dispute saying they haven't received Follies yet. I took the gloves off and if the e-mail I wrote goes through (he's on AOL and obviously a complete idiot) he will understand just how quickly he'd best shut it down. He's in Palm Springs and probably will get his CD today, but I have his tracking info (waiting for the helper to get it) and I will provide it to paypal and they will shut him down.

Not only that - it's not even a complaint so that I could have responded right on paypal - he took it directly to a dispute so that I can not respond. What an ASS. I'm calling paypal when I get back.

The nerve of some people!

That man (or woman) only buys CDs of shows they have seen with the cast that they saw? How sad.

I thought the AC was included. Are the other appliances built in

Sorry, I am probably wrong.

I re-read it and you could be correct.

Larry, hate to open a can of worms for you but if your landlord replaces your stove and fridge, he has the right to increase your rent to cover the cost. Even if you purchase the appliances, he can still raise your rent, in perpetuity, for new appliances. It's part of a rent-stabilized lease. I know, I've looked into the situation. You may be able to negotiate the increase with the landlord. Just be aware of his advantage in this matter.

Thanks, DR Ben. I am aware they could do that. Even so, I need a new stove and fridge. Even if they rase my rent $10/month, I can live with that. I might not be happy at $20 or 30.

I'm heading out to meet a friend for lunch. After lunch we are going to pick up some flowers to take to a woman in our book group who is recovering from a stroke. The woman sounds great on the phone & I believe is progressing well.

FOLLIES arrived, along with Bach Motets. Which should I listen to?

The guy who complained about the musicians not being listed is - a musician who, in fact, played on the Follies revival. I told him if he wanted to call Tunick and get me a list of the original band that I'd put it on the website, as we do for our soundtracks. That seemed to make him happy. elmore probably knows him.

The last time I asked about a name, it created quite a stir. I'm not asking.

I don't know, who is older? Bach? Or Sondheim?

THe Follies CD has not arrived in today's post

This seems to happen when a new release comes out from Kritzerland and the country gets it before the Bay Area - somewhere IN California. <sigh> This is not a paypal dispute.

After watching the rather stuffy Lord Sebastian Coe speak last night, it was depressing to realize that I am older than he!

Saturday afternoon greetings! I went this morning to the Methodist church that Richard and I used to attend for the memorial service for a special long-time member. She had been a good friend of my mother-in-law's and was very tolerant during the several years that I sat behind her in the Temple Choir. Sat with my niece Jennifer, who, along with her husband, just did a big favor for me.

I may have mentioned that Richard is at the seminary in Wisconsin until after church next Sunday. Just before I left this morning our smoke detector started chirping, indicating that the batteries need to be replaced. I can't reach it and was not about to get up on a step ladder. I told Jen about it and she and Scott just stopped by to disconnect it for me. Rob and Mary Linda will be here tomorrow and he'll put it back up after I get new batteries - it takes 2 and, of course, I only have one of the right size.

Has anyone heard any buzz on the street about the upcoming CHAPLIN?

After the memorial service and reception, I met my successor Genevieve for lunch and did a couple of errands in the Dayton 'burbs. When I got home, FOLLIES was in my mailbox!

George · « **Reply #114 on:** July 28, 2012, 01:38:37 PM »

Well, I must be going. I have to take a shower and make myself presentable for this barbecue that I've been invited to. I expect to be back before the show tonight. I can't imagine it lasting four hours...but you never know.

Have a good day, all!

I went on a butterfly walk at the arboretum. Just as we were finishing, we found this very large two-tailed swallowtail sipping minerals from the damp sand.

I'm howling too. He doesn't deserve a newly restored cast album... goes back to what I said about having to pass a test to qualify for a copy of something as special as the new Follies disk
