I think Fig Newtons were as much a staple in our house as Saltines and Ritz and Graham Crackers.  And though I would eat all of these, even binge on them at times, I was never, shall we say, "passionate" about any of them.  It has now been many years since I've had a Fig Newton, and I never tried any of the alternate versions.  In fact, I'm not sure I even knew about them.

I have tried and disliked the alternate versions.  The original were one of my favorite store bought cookies.

Jane, have you ever had Newman's Own Origanics' Fig Newmans?  They're quite delish and are available in Fat Free, Low Fat and Wheat-Free/Dairy-Free varieties.  My sister loves these.

I am not sure if I would know if a movie I was watching was being shown in the incorrect ratio. Or would I?

How does one even know what the correct ratio is just by looking?

Ration sounds too much like math, so therefore it is over my head.

I always put Fig Newtons (or Cherry Newtons) in the refrigerator - they're really good slightly cold.

Good morning. It is still morning here. Barely.

I did better on my hike this morning.

And that's okay, because it made me stop and think that I forgot to thank DR Laura for the info on South Mountain yesterday.  I had no idea it was right there in town, or "in town", because I'd always pictured you living in some outlying area, perhaps the far edge of a suburb which would put you close to some hills.  Well, I've never been to Phoenix so what do I know?  I'll answer that:  nothing!  The closest I ever got to Phoenix was landing once at Wickenburg, a small town some 30 miles (?) northwest of there.

There are mountains all around us here in Phoenix.

I climbed Camelback once. It was very crowded and very steep. There is a reason they do so many helicopter rescues there. I don't want to be one of them.

From DR Cilla:
Quote
You know, that's a funny thing.  I've always used Edith to translate and she laughed at me when I told her I could speak Spanish.

Maybe she wanted you to think you needed her.

That is great you can call your brother's assistant if you need to.   Hospitals use a service they can call for a translator.  I wonder if you can also do that on a need to use basis.

Yes but it's very expensive. I'm not as good as I think I am, lol.  Today a cook from Kentucky Fried came into my office, when I couldn't understand everything he was saying he gave me a lecture about how important it is for me to have someone there who speaks Spanish. I understood all of that, lol

I realized this morning that I need to not try to do everything. I've been answering all the phone calls and trying to keep everything up, but I really have to stop doing that and just retrieve the messages and return calls.   I'm also going to keep the front door locked.  I have plenty of work to do and there are no appointments scheduled until Monday.   Everyone can just wait.  I'm not going to let myself get any more overwhelmed than I have to.   I started feeling that way so I came home for lunch and decided to just relax a bit.  It was a good choice

I did spend about 1 hour on the phone with someone I REALLY wanted as a reference.  She said yes and gave me some very good advice.  Now I just need one or two more references and I'll be ready to send in my application  The reference is a real ground breaker for females in the legal field in Iowa.

Hey, Mikey!  Visit The Widescreen Museum where you can see pictures that differentiate between proper ratio and pan-and-scan, etc.

It's very illuminating.

My grandma always had fig newtons.  So every time I see them or hear about them, I think about her and the jar in her kitchen

I am off now to take photos for the LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS slide show and teach the trio how to do their makeup.

Their wigs should be here by the end of the week, so all is well.  I shall also try to watch a bit of the show.....my fingers are crossed that it is good.

Time will tell....

AND tonight FOUR dancers will be leaving on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and SHARKNADO 2 is on the SyFy Network.....

Must see TV indeed.

DR Jennifer, thank you for posting those Kindle mysteries that were on sale at Amazon for $1.99.  I purchased THE TITANIC MURDERS.  It was a very clever story using real mystery writer Jacques Futrelle (who actually died onboard the Titanic) as the writer who is drawn by Captain Smith and Bruce Ismay into solving a real murder on the ship's maiden voyage.  I bought a second book by the same author titled THE LUSITANIA MURDERS.  I am not sure how that one is going to work.

Back from a cup of chicken corn chowder and a chili, cheese and onion omelet - the latter was dreadful and I didn't finish it - actually I didn't finish the soup, either - I think Ye Olde Tummye is shrinking a bit.

Pan and Scan I can recognized, but 1:66 vs 1:85, I have no clue about. Nor even a clew. I will check it out!

Dear BK,
An actress acquaintance of mine needs an audition piece that is two young women, comedy, and not a famous scene.  Can you think of anything she could use?

First the bad news: There is a leak by the washing machine.

Now the good news: There is a tiny crack in the bottom of the detergent bottle. A mess to clean up, but cheaper than a visit from the plumber!

I can't even think of any that ARE famous scenes.
