Too much dental work going on at HHW these days.

Well, my visit "tomorrow" is just for a small filling replacement -- a filling that, though it's on one of my upper front and center teeth, I seem to be totally unaware that I even had. I trust I shall be enlightened on this matter "tomorrow".

"Madam, I am not an Odd Fellow!"

That was an actual line that I had in Gypsy when I played George, Uncle Jocko's assistant.

Oh, no...Comedy genius, father of funny commercials Stan Freberg dies.

Just heard about that on the radio coming home tonight.

Home from 3 1/2 hours of dancing. Tired.

Starting to watch "Life Itself," the documentary about Roger Ebert.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #99 on:** April 07, 2015, 06:55:25 PM »

That's definitely on my "list" of things to watch.

And on that note (G#), I'm leaving work. I have some TV watching to do, and maybe even some laundry...if I decide to do that. But either way, I'm outa here.

Until later!

Had a quick meal (need to eat again - I only had small scoops of chicken salad and egg salad - I'd ordered fries, but only had about four of them, as Sami decimated that plate quickly), then we had a long and really fruitful work session.

John G. · « **Reply #103 on:** April 07, 2015, 07:13:19 PM »

Made egg salad for lunch today.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #104 on:** April 07, 2015, 07:14:00 PM »

Ate chicken salad today, and was thinking about egg salad for tomorrow.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #105 on:** April 07, 2015, 07:21:19 PM »

I like both of these better than tuna salad...except for the one I had just this past weekend which is probably first tuna salad that has EVER satisfied in my ever so humble opinion. It had been made with "just enough" mayonnaise, keeping it from being a runny milky bland mess, and just a couple of extra ingredients from the norm made it absolutely delicious. I need to get the recipe. No, actually, strike that. I shouldn't have to. It just ain't that hard to do.

Well, I have never met a sudser that I didn't like......so I will just name a few:

Imitation of Life (1959) for reasons that MR BK wrote about in the notes and DR CHAS SMITH mentioned in his post.

Madame X - a Ross Hunter production with Miss Lana Turner is outstanding! She also did Portrait in Black with Hunter which wasn't quite as good, but it did have Anna May Wong....and Sandra Dee and John Saxon.

A Summer Place, Rome Adventure, Susan Slade, Parrish - all Delmer Daves-Warner Bros. Spectaculars that starred Mr Troy Donahue. His leading ladies included Susan Pleshette, Connie Stevens, Sandra Dee, and Diane McBain.

Youngblood Hawke, another Delmer Daves special this one starring Mr. Novak himself, James Franciscus and Pleshette and Genevieve Page, who needed a English dialog coach....I can't understand hardly anything she is saying. She is beautiful though.

Page doesn't talk much in this trailer - but she makes Eva Gabor sound like John Gielgud.

Perhaps I am wrong, but when Mr. Franciscus pushes that man down the stairs, isn't that the PSYCHO house staircase?

From DR George:
Quote
All the books that I downloaded are still there because it doesn't sync up with Amazon and OverDrive to turn them in and remove them from my Kindle.

Don't you return your library books?

I decided I do not like using my kindle app on my Nook and will only do so if it is the only way to read the book, or Keith already purchased it.

I return my physical (paper) books, of course, but whether my Wi-Fi is turned on or not, the e-books that I check out from the library for my Kindle are automatically "checked in" in OverDrive when my loan period is over and the next patron DOES get to check them out. That happens even when I don't sync up my Kindle through Wi-Fi and the e-books aren't actually deleted from my Kindle. Those are two separate functions.

I am sorry, but I haven't the slightest idea what any of you are talking about. This whole conversation left me feeling more stupid than usual. I go to the library to borrow books. I go to Amazon to buy books. The rest is just chaos.

I had lunch with my friend, Sharry, today. While I was being sick on the high seas, she and her husband were in NYC seeing some shows. They saw either five or six shows, all of them in preview.

TCB · « **Reply #110 on:** April 07, 2015, 07:35:54 PM »

They saw THE VISIT for the second time. They saw it last year when they were in Virginia. Sharry loved it, but she doubts it will be a success on Broadway.

TCB · « **Reply #111 on:** April 07, 2015, 07:41:08 PM »

They went to New York specifically to see their friend Brad Oscar in SOMETHING ROTTEN. They said the show is hysterical and that Brad should get a Tony nomination for his performance.

This is very sad. I am posting about my friends' trip to NYC.

DR Ben I use my Overdrive app to access my library. It works for both e-pub & kindle.

That wasn't what I meant by my comment. I know that Overdrive works with Kindle. I'm saying that Overdrive lets you return e-pub ebook files which are different from Kindle book files. You cannot return a Kindle ebook once it's checked out but you can return an e-pub book when you've finished it. It's why I will not take a Kindle ebook if I have a choice between Kindle and e-pub.

When I got home from lunch, I decided to take a short nap.

I ended up sleeping for four hours.
