Happy Friday, everyone.

Still not 100% myself since Wednesday.

When does that Gavilyte "stop" working?  Seems like every meal I eat gets "the treatment".

[TCB]

I think my biggest problem with PETER PAN came from the flying.  Fly By Foy has flown almost everyone since Mary Martin right thru to Liberace.  So I blame them for not helping Allison and the boys know how to move and soar when they are flying.  When you watch Sandy Duncan or Cathy Rigby or Mary Martin they really make you believe they are flying.  Just going up and down, or even doiing somersaults isn't that exciting.

Well, this is interesting (in a good way, I think).  THIS audio-only video is the complete "On the Steps of the Palace" from the soundtrack to the Into the Woods movie.  I really enjoy it.  And THIS two-minute interview video shows one minute of the song from the finished movie (jump to 58 seconds).  What I realized as I was just listening to the second clip is that they added breathing sounds to Cinderella's singing.  Watching her breathe and also hearing her breaths isn't something that I really thought about while listening to the first video.  It adds a layer realism to the video clip that I liked.

I've only seen a little bit of the flying from last night's broadcast, but I think another problem (maybe even the bigger problem) is that their set is so small compared to an actual theater and they really didn't have the room to do much flying...certainly not side to side.

So, the reviewer who didn't like The Brain From Planet X (he's wrong) really liked The HEAD! That Wouldn't Die!  HERE is his official review.

FYI:  I got a mention, but he said that I was the Stage Manager.  I'm not.  I'm the Sound Board Operator.

Where does it say that?

I saw "Technician George Dougherty."

Actually, I haven't ever gotten the cold and hope I won't.  I don't know about this other NyQuil, but I occasionally will take NyQuil even if I'm not feeling up to snuff or that I might get something.

Okay, but ZzzQuil  is made by the same company, but is supposed  to be for helping you sleep only.

Oh, good...they got that corrected.

[Jrand74]

Yes.....you are no longer Stage Manager - you are technician.  Check your check.

For those here who know, does everyone have the cost of Medicare Part B taken out of his Social Security check?

[TCB]

Yes, Jane, Nicky and I both use the same Myralax.

I guess that is what I do, Jack.  They take out the amount of my supplemental insurance.  Is that the same as Part B?

[Jane]

I think you should call your doctor.  I've never heard of this happening. 

VIBES IT STOPS!!!!!

[Jane]

Yes, Jane, Nicky and I both use the same Myralax.

But not the same one for a colonoscopy?

[Jane]

For those here who know, does everyone have the cost of Medicare Part B taken out of his Social Security check?

Yes, the amount is based on a sliding scale against your income. 

[Jrand74]

Yes, thanks, DR TCB.....I guess I will start losing money in August when I turn 65 and sign up for Medicare.

[Jane]

Originally I had a PPO Medicare Advantage and the money went there.  Now I have Medicare B along with a supplemental insurance that we pay for the supplement but Medicare oversees it.  We also pay separately for a prescription insurance.

On hold with Apple Care - the first gal I got was a complete idiot and should not be working for them.  I was on hold for twenty minutes, then I get this idiot who isn't even a tech person.  You sit there and waste your time explaining the problem, she mis-writes it down four times, then can't understand the serial number you're giving her, then finally switches you over to someone who presumably can help - and you're on hold for another twenty minutes, which is where I am now.  This completely weird crap is going on with iTunes - never happened EVER - I launch it and it shoves my desktop off the screen and takes up the full screen with no way to minimize, close or get back to the desktop without force quitting iTunes.  Obviously it's not supposed to do that, as it precludes you from seeing your desktop or dragging tracks to it.  I just don't get this crap at ALL.

All fixed easily.  More importantly, the new iTunes, which made a lot of formerly easy stuff very difficult and made my album titles disappear and had everything by artist only (when I import stuff for Kritzerland CDs I always do it by title and not artist, so I had no way of knowing which album was which for those tracks.  The helpful man had to do some research (they are all still on a learning curve with this new version).  When he came back it was just a matter of double clicking on part of the screen, which brought down a huge pull-down menu - from there I put the cursor where I wanted the album title to show up, clicked "album" from the pull down menu and voila, all is now the way it was.

Except that the program lists me as "Sound Board Operator." 

And my check is in the mail.

I just heard on the radio that PETER PAN LIVE was a major ratings disappointment.  It did about half of what THE SOUND OF MUSIC did last year.

On the other hand, maybe other people like me recorded it for later viewing.

I think maybe it was because of Carrie Underwood?  I honestly did not know who Allison Williams was (I mean I know she is on Girls but I've never seen that show).

[Jennifer]

It is so cold outside today.

[singdaw]

Wow - I guess it looked like I was sitting here like so much fish all day.

[singdaw]

I actually had to hang up on a customer today. She was afraid and upset and anxious about her insurance - understandable. But when she just yelled and yelled at me, I told her that if she couldn't calm down and let me help her, I was going to have to hang up, and that she could call back when she had calmed down. And when she kept yelling, not allowing me to get a word in edge-wise, I did hang up on her.

[singdaw]

[Jane]

Wow DR Singdaw, wasn't there a manager you could pass her on to?
