Feel better and tech vibes for DR ELMORE.

Congrats to DR TCB and DR GEORGE on their millstones.

Fascinating to read about the re-do on the Black Dahlia song....it really was a gruesome crime.....

Thanks, Jrand!  And Ditto about BK's song.  Reading about the process is quite fascinating.

[Ron Pulliam]

We get to page 3, and nobody is here but me?

[Ron Pulliam]

What the fresh hell?

[Ron Pulliam]

And now for something completely different!

Here's a Musical Interlude

[George]

Dr George, a Majot is another reason I had to stop last night-I was too tired to keep going

I figured is was something like that.

[George]

Congratulations to TCB and George on their milestones.

Thanks, John!

From The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee:

Your word is APOOP.
May I have the definition, please?
Yes.  It means:  toward the stern of a ship.
May I hear it used in a sentence, please?
Guido, the seasick sailor, was often heard to say "a-pardon me, boys, I'm-a gonna go APOOP."

No, you're not alone, Ron!

[George]

But now, I'm off to lunch.

[Ron Pulliam]

Late lunch, George.

[Ron Pulliam]

We had our annual "chili cook-off" today, but it was NOT user-friendly.   Last year, you could pay to taste-test each chili offering and then vote.  For a couple of extra dollars, you could eat a bowl of your favorite chili (which, as a side, had cheese and onions and cornbreads to complement the meal).

This time, it was $6 to taste-test and vote.  BUT, if you wanted a bowl of your favorite, you had to pay $8.

People stayed away in droves.

[Ron Pulliam]

I bought a bowl of chili.  Not certain it was $8 worth, but it was for our fund-raising, so....

[Ron Pulliam]

I appear to be alone again unless George is lurking.

[Ron Pulliam]

I can't think what to have for supper.   The chili is sort of "sitting there" but not to an uncomfortable degree.

[George]

I appear to be alone again unless George is lurking.

Nope, I'm back from lunch.  I went to Taco Del Mar.  It's Double Punch Monday for their punch card!

Good evening!

Congrats to TCB and George on their milestones!

Local Headline:

Man Shot on Lower East Side.

That must have hurt!

Hmmm.

What are you listening to, Ginny?

Just finished Hissing Cousins: The Untold Story of Eleanor Roosevelt and Alice Roosevelt Longworth by Marc Peyser and Timothy Dwyer.

Sounds like fun.

Now I'm on to Among the Mad, #6 in Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs series.  It's narrated by Orlagh Cassidy, one of my favorite audiobook readers.

I didn't realize you weren't farther along in the series.  I am 3rd in my library queue for her 12th, and current, novel.

[Jane]

"Patrick Bronstein Presents" has arrived in Tumwater!

[Jrand73]

Of course.....I shall repeat my FAVORITE headline of all:

NEWLYWEDS LEAVE DAVENPORT FOR HOT SPRINGS

[Jane]

Hmmm, does anyone have a belt/waist holder for an iPhone?

I purchased the smallest phone possible so it can fit into my pockets, or at least most of them.  I have discovered a major problem, I can't feel it vibrate when a call comes in.  Keith called me 6 times today and drove around trying to find me because I didn't know he had called.  Fortunately I began to wonder where he was and pulled my phone out of my pocket to call him.

I, not surprisingly, could not hear the phone ring since I was on a street with traffic.  The sound was accidentally turned down.  The ringer is now locked and can not be accidentally moved.

[Jennifer]

DR Jane I would not keep my phone in my pocket. When you walk do you have a purse or something?

[Jane]

I go for fast, long walks.  I want my arms free.  I put the phone in my back pocket, always have, and I can feel if someone calls.  If the phone is in my purse, even a waist purse, I won't likely hear it.

Now I have planes and trains to complete with over the sound of the ring.  I could hear the phone fine today, testing it along the river, but not at all when the military jets went over us.

[Jane]

DR Jennifer, can you feel your phone vibrate when it is in your purse?

[KevinH]

Gypsy is back on!
