Thank you all for the kind comments about the end of Toyland. I will be in and out the next couple of days to accommodate people with removing things, but this is my last official day there.

I can tell you all that I've said yes to an employment inquiry, although nothing's happened since I accepted early last week, and there are other things afoot. So, I guess one door closes and another . . .

DR elmore, my best wishes and vibes for new things afoot, a great big beautiful door opening, and many fond memories as a beautiful familiar door closes on a beloved world known as Toyland. May there be an even better Toyland just around the bend!

DR Dan M - very sorry to hear that your oncologist may be leaving your hospital.

Thank you. Yes, it's like being in the foxhole and losing your general, or some war movie cliché. At least, that's what I think.

CONGRATULATIONS TO DR GEORGE! 50,000 posts is a ginormous millstone. That's a badge of distinction.

DR DAN M - companies won't leave anything alone....and rarely is it really better....but maybe this time you'll be lucky.....

Being lucky vibes for DR Dan!!!!

Thanks DR Jane and DR Jrand. I really have been fortunate. In the first few weeks of knowing I had something serious, but not knowing what, and the confusion, everything fell into place. As things settled, and I didn't wind up with the oncologist I thought, there was Dr. Kratz, whom I didn't know what to make of first. Which for me is sometimes a good thing.

There are people who appear in the path you're on and you're not sure why they are there. That was left for me to figure out and as I got to know Dr. Kratz I realized that (just like the old "Twilight Zone" episode) she was "just what I needed" (she was an Ernest Truex character in spirit). That's how my whole cancer adventure has been. People have come along who have been wonderful and sometimes I didn't understand why right away.

Chelsea Music has come and gone. I'm downloading the files I could not download to disc to Dropbox. I will very shortly head home.

So this is indeed farewell from Toyland! I've had seven pretty good years in this office.

Farewell From Toyland!

Goodbye, Toyland. We hardly knew ye!

Tonight I am blocking Act Two: Scene Two.....wherein:

Leroy tells Rhoda about electric chairs for little girls.
Rhoda tells Leroy she wants her shoes back.
Christine's father gets a phone call and leaves.
Rhoda gets some matches and leaves.
Mrs. Daigle visits while drunk.
Rhoda comes back with her popsicle.
Monica grabs Rhoda and escapes.
Mr. Daigle comes to get Mrs. Daigle.
Monica comes back to give Christine some vitamins and sleeping pills.
Rhoda comes in and starts to play the piano.
Much excitement outside....fire....Leroy is burned to death.
Emory and Reggie try to help.
Christine is hysterical and Monica has to take Rhoda away.
Christine is sad.

And that's all that happens in that 16 minutes of the play.

At about the 18 minute mark, there's Canada Dry:

My question for ASK BK DAY?

Which do you enjoy more: Ruthless or The Bad Seed?

singdaw · « **Reply #41 on:** June 03, 2015, 10:58:21 AM »

We are having a terrific storm right now - heavy rain, thunder, lightning - the works.

Somehow, in view of the Toyland news, it seems fitting.

Good morning, all! I am on hold with Fed Ex because, once again, their putting customer service reps who speak English as a second or third language on the phones has jeopardized today's pickup. I'm getting sick of this crap.

On my first call, I was disconnected and now I've been waiting forever to someone to pick up the phone while I am assaulted by too loud and too aggressive muzak.

Quote from: elmore3003 on June 03, 2015, 04:18:34 AM

Still on hold; nearly 15 minutes now. Clearly Fed Ex is screwed up today. Goddammit.

The day continues hellish: traffic is a nightmare and my 40-60 minute trip home took nearly two hours. Life isn't always glamorous and pleasant in the Big Apple.

Tomorrow, I go back to the rubble of Toylnd to turn over the photocopier to the building's super. I need to learn when Joshie's coming in for his loot. Peter will pick me up here around 7:00 tonight and we will tote out his things. He will then bring me home with the small binder and the paper cutter. Chelsea Music decided not to take the large binder which weights several tons. I cannot blame them.

Would the binder be useful to a law firm? I know that many have them. Or a library?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #55 on:** June 03, 2015, 12:46:15 PM »

Yikes. How big is that binder, anyway? I guess I never stopped to look at it. Can you post a link to one like it?

(I might know someone, but I'd have to see it first.)

ChasSmith · « **Reply #56 on:** June 03, 2015, 12:47:52 PM »

Me, I've been listening to "1776". Such a unique score.
