I must say I was impressed, and feel very lucky indeed, that the guy sent by AAA (1) showed up quickly, and (2) was able to get the door unlocked in, like, five minutes. It did give him some trouble, and he did have to try it a couple of different ways, but then suddenly way #1 (the old fashioned way) worked, and Bob was our uncle.

DR Elmore, I'm glad you mentioned that the Pres. is going to be in downtown NYC tomorrow. Holy moley -- if I'd decided I was going to drive down for that, I'd have been royally screwed. Probably would have heard the news while en route...

Unfortunately, I think I'm too beat to get up and get to the train in time to even make it there by noon. And I have lots to do tomorrow and the next day. So, very sorry to miss this one. I'll have no problem getting to the others. I know you won't be there next week, but I'll see you on the 29th.

That's horrible, having to re-enter all your directory information, DR Elmore.

Worst thing, though -- how will you ever know you're remembering everything? Or were they able to at least give you a printout?

How old WAS that phone?

Maybe six years old? Well, I was able to retrieve some numbers, like yours, from messages on MMW, emails, my computer address book, and I've sent out a ton of emails to friends asking for their phone numbers. I've also got contact sheets from shows and the recordings, but it's so tedious.

On behalf of Mom and Dad, thank you everyone.

Jane, I could use a slice of that cake right now.

Great news, Dan.

Listening to a "soundtrack" of "White Christmas" that came in the mail today. The nice surprise is that it included the soundtrack of "Hans Christian Anderson," but the weird thing is that many of the songs aren't actually what's in the movie. Whoever released the album must not have had the right to release Rosemary Clooney's solos or duets. So somebody else is singing those songs. Strange.

Great news, Dan.

Was there a post deleted? Otherwise, I think I missed something.

Singdaw, thanks for posting the story on the Kentucky castle being for sale. I would drive by that every month or so, going from college to home and always wanted to see some of what was inside the walls.

singdaw · « **Reply #128 on:** May 14, 2014, 07:50:17 PM »

Thanks, George (and others) for noticing/commenting on my millstone. I'd have breezed right past it, otherwise.

Glad you are home safe and sound, DR ChasSmith. Well, safe, anyway.

Wasn't Esther Rolle's character on "Good Times" named Queasy?

Or perhaps that was just in the Mad Magazine parody.

I remember an old cuss or two.

Don't know about any curse, though.

No, that was Isabel Sanford on "The Jeffersons."

We're watching the Daily Show - Debbie Harry (Blondie) is looking mighty fine for a 68 year old lady

Cillaliz · « **Reply #144 on:** May 14, 2014, 08:26:37 PM »

I think Debbie Harry is looking a lot better than she did a few years ago. Glad to see

vixmom · « **Reply #145 on:** May 14, 2014, 08:31:37 PM »

Today I had several opportunities to call people up, gradually increase the volume of my voice, and say phrases such as , and "I do not believe you are listening to a word I say as your answer does not have anything in common with my question" and "Who is in charge of internal incompetence?" and "Let me speak to your manager"

vixmom · « **Reply #146 on:** May 14, 2014, 08:33:04 PM »

Of course I receive no satisfaction, but then, I really had no expectation that I would
