Keith saw a Yellow-Rumped Warbler in the yard today. 



I saw one of those downtown  NY today -  the cops made him put his raincoat back on and told him to quit singing

Mikey might like to see that.

I have a collection of Lilliput Lane cottages - we received our first one as an engagement gift in England  - several years ago the original British co was bought out by Enesco and I ceased buying them

We also have books not collectible books  just books  - like a library that  has inadequate shelving and no sense of order

What happen in Boston is just beyond belief.   I just do not understand why people do things like that.
Will listen to the news in the car on the way to work for updates.  

And, off to work.

It is impossible to comprehend, yet we know stories like this have happened before & will continue to.  We have been coping with the thought that the bastards that mugged Bryan a few weeks ago might still be roaming his neighborhood.  Not wanting to worry us Bryan didn't mention his broken nose, concussion, or battered face that his the concrete as he was knocked down.  I have to admire though that he went home, set his nose & used his medical staple gone on his head.  The next day he went to work and they sent him for test and then sent him home.

Jane, I am so sorry!  My best wishes to Bryan; and to you and Keith.

Mine as well. It's an ugly story. Hope he heals soon.

Fun fotos from DR MBARNUM

Visit my apartment someday DR Jrand, and you can see it all in person. I am especially proud of my kitsch kabinet. :)


A kitsch on the hand may be quite continental!


i'm a little scattered, but given that it's got like as many views as a test pattern, did I ever even mention this "Diamons are a Girl's Best Friend" parody here?

Watching "The Pajama Game" with the delicious Barbara Nichols in an all-too-small supporting role.

She was once my publicity client.  A very difficult one.  We were not together long.

And now, I must take a shower and go to Costco.

Be back later!

I read too quickly sometimes -  I read that as  " I must go to Costco to take a shower"

Fortunately, not.  Actually, I was thinking about getting a new shower head but I forgot to look at what they had.  I'll guess I'll just have to go back.

From DR TCB:
Quote
Actually, no.  Although the company that rents wheelchairs and walkers for the cruise line called me this afternoon.  I had rented a rollator, but they called to see if I would accept a scooter for the same price.  Ah, Yeah!

I'm glad you are pleased with the rental.  I thought you would go with your own chair.  Where will you leave yours?

I am still taking my chair, but it will be nice on a 1000+ foot ship to have a motorized scooter for getting around - especially at the buffet line.

I know collected Disney/Wizard of Oz Sno Globes. Most of them have music.

Disney stopped making them because people couldn't take them on the plane with them due to the limit of how much liquid could be taken on the plane. Don't know why they would have them shipped home.

I recently heard they started to make them again and I bought a beautiful Peter Pan that has the ship light up, Peter files and plays music. A beautiful piece. I took the last box u



p and had it opened to make sure nothing was broken. Another person saw and wanted one and they had to call around the store to see if there was another one available.

In your Sno Globe, is the entire ship in the globe or is the globe resting on the ship?  I hope that question makes sense.

It does to me.  You want to know if the ship is inside the globe....or if the ship is part of the globe's "base".

Exactly!

I collect cast albums, which I'm sure doesn't surprise anyone here.  Most of my cast albums are on a large hard drive and always accessible.  They take up too much space.  I was selling some on eBay for a while, but they are in storage.  So, most of my cast albums these days are digital downloads.  But even now, what's worth buying?  I like to look for vinyl when I have a chance since I still use my record player.

My production of Charlotte's Web is in really bad shape and we open on Friday.  The kids don't know their lines as the director never pushed to get them off-book.  The songs are ok, it's a hard score for these kids, and they are singing to a track.  I'm a big fan of the tracked show with kids, but these tracks are really bad.  I've had to augment them all with the melody lines so the kids at least know where they are.  The direction is not good, but I'm not one to point fingers.  It is what it is, I suppose.

Here's something I just remembered:  How about funeral home ephemera?  Especially fans!  If I'm remembering correctly, I have a total of:  one, and I was thrilled to find it.


Um.  What?

I have a funeral home fan from the 1960s.


I have never been a funeral home fan.

Keith saw a Yellow-Rumped Warbler in the yard today. 



I saw one of those downtown  NY today -  the cops made him put his raincoat back on and told him to quit singing

ROTFLMAO!  That is so much better than the line I was going to use about Keith spending too much time checking out warblers rumps.

Speaking of the word of the day VERBIAGE, this came in an email today.  i believe it is not objectionable:
especially in light of that commercial for that company for K-mart that says "I shipped my pants"

HERE'S THE EMAIL I GOT:

Manure... An interesting fact
 
Manure : In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be
transported by ship and it was also before the invention of commercial
fertilizers, so large shipments of manure were quite common.

It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when
wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, not only did it become heavier,
but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by product is
methane gas of course. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles
you can see what could (and did) happen.
Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came
below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM!


Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined
just what was happening

After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the
instruction ' Stow high in transit ' on them, which meant for the
sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water
that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start
the production of methane.


Thus evolved the term ' S.H.I.T ' , (Stow High In Transit) which has
come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day.

You probably did not know the true history of this word.

Neither did I.

I had always thought it was a golf term.


Untrue!

Um, Tommy -   I think the last line is the punchline of the joke........ :-*

Sorry, I was trying to be helpful.  I receive five or six of these urban legends a month from friends asking me if they are real.  This story was the last two I have received.  Sorry.
