Hard to believe, but no packages again this day.

[MBarnum]

We have come upon a huge glitch in our India/US group's upcoming Diwali festival. At the meeting last night we discovered that, while we are having the event catered, we are not allowed to use an sort of heating devices to keep the food warm at the arena (a large school gym) we are having the shindig at!!

This is supposed to be a very fancy event that people are buying tickets for and the last thing we want is to serve people cold food.

And the worst part of all this is that I am the head of the food committee for the event!

OH NO!

Is it too late to find another place?

Ya, pretty much. The posters have all been printed and posted around town stating where it is being held at.

[MBarnum]

Good idea DR JohnG. I may just call a few catering places and see if that has ever happened to them.

The plumber I detest arrived the other day and installed a new toilet. (My life is soooo exciting!) He was actually relatively well-behaved this time. He showed up on time, didn't yell at me at all, and didn't even blame me for the plumbing problems. I wouldn't detest him if he behaved like this more often. I dread it every time he has to come out and don't call until I really have to. But it's done and I'm glad this is off my plate.

We often have no mail. I don't mean that "I" don't have mail, I mean the entire building. I don't know how many other buildings are affected, but I doubt that it's just this one. The Post Office wants to eliminate Saturday delivery. I think this is their way to reduce labor without consent of Congress. They just skip some of us a couple times each month.

Hope you find a satisfactory solution.

Probably AT HOME WITH THE BRAITHWAITES.

TTFN.

Good luck!  Hopefully, it can all get straightened out!

I'm glad he took care of it and acted professionally for a change.

You had a toilet on your plate?

I guess I should get off my lazy butt cheeks and jog.  Can someone explain to me why this entire day has felt like a Saturday?

No time to chat, but saw this and had to share it.

Thanks for sharing. I hope 20 somethings will get the joke

Would that include the food containers themselves if they are plugged in to an outlet (e.g. Crockpot)?

[Michael]

Well I am off to see a stage production of "The Sound of Music" After seeing the movie at least 100 times over the years this will be the first time I will be see it on the stage.

LOL.   We recently played this for a 30 year old who didn't find it as funny as we do.

Unfortunately yes, no heating devices allowed.

I also need to go over to my favorite Indian restaurant and give them one of the posters to put up...and then explain why we did not choose them to cater the event.

There are 3 Indian restaurants in town, so we have some 'splainin to do to two of them.

Hello from rainy Northern Virginia!

[bk]

Back from a three-mile jog.

[KevinH]

Getting ready for Brother Kevin to arrive Tomorrow.

I, my hubby and two brothers are going to see The Lucy Show tomorrow.

It should be great fun!

I used to go to the Lucy Show--the real one. My dad would often get tickets and a few of my friends and I would go. It had a live audience--that was us. I can't believe I never took BK. I think I must have asked him if he wanted to go.

Have a great time.

Sounds like fun, DR Jeanne!

[MBarnum]

Being as it is sort of a slow news day...even though it has picked up a bit...I will enterain with some Mari Blanchard movie posters.

[MBarnum]

[MBarnum]

Well, that is enough of that.

[MBarnum]

But wait...just for BK, a Peggie Castle poster....

[George]

Those are pretty evocative posters, Mike.

Let us know what the one you did chose to use and do about keeping the food hot.
