Jane & Keith on Mykonos.   

Nice picture!

TOD - "Monies," when discussing an organization's finances.

[elmore3003]

And the word of the day is: QUODLIBET!

I think Skip had a number that was listed in the program (and demo) by that name in the San Diego version of "Time and Again." 

I personally could never fully grasp the fact that the word had nothing to do with the number four, which I guess is "quad" not "quod.".

I learned that word from Peter Filichia.

I think I first heard of the word from our very own Elmore, here on HHW...if I remember correctly (IIRC in Internet lingo).

A quodlibet is a piece in which two tunes go together, like "You're Just in Love."

Yup.  I think it was when I posted that I have a series of my own CD compilations of those kinds of songs...at least 16 CDs that I've compiled over the years.

[George]

TOD:  I've only seen heard this in New York City:  in McDonalds or Duane Reed, for example:  I'll help the FOLLOWING customer.  What happened to "NEXT?"

Fortunately, I haven't heard that here, yet, but why do they now say, "What can I get started for you?"

[George]

A former president of the board of directors for TAO always used to say, "Are we in agreeance?"  He could never just say, "Do we all agree?"

With Larry closing in on 39,000, the burning question is:  Are we still congratulating your 1000's as mill-stones, or would Larry rather just have more of a hoopla for his 40,000 milestone?
.

My opinion is that you can congratulate anyone at any time, and I can document the occasion if I'm on a desktop computer.  It's difficult to do that on my tablet.  And if anyone else wants, and is able, to document such momentous moments, please feel free to do so!

Back from stuff - ended up having some scrambled eggs and bacon just because I had two hours and that was an easy way to make them pass.

People should start arriving in about ten minutes, I should think.

DR elmore I just checked "The Bookman's Tale" out of my ebook library.  Since there is more than one book with this title please confirm the author is Charlie Lovett.  Thanks.

Lovett.

Thanks.  I have 1 1/2 books still to read before I begin the tale.

[Jane]

Thank you.  I thought my blouse was pretty with the Greek blue.  Just as I began to get on the warm side I found a Mykonos t-shirt to buy and wear the rest of the day.

Oops, I accidentally removed more than my photo.  Thank you DR Jrand for sharing it.

[Jane]

Thanks DR George.

I dragged out my old computer this afternoon while the laundry was in the dryers.  Some CDs I have that will not be read by this ridiculous external hard drive on my new Mac will download fine on my old Mac. 

So, I've downloaded a few CDs, then burned them to a blank disc and ow I'm downloading them into my new Mac. Oy!

[Jeanne]

Hello, everyone.

[Jeanne]

Very nice photo of you and Keith, Jane. I think I like it the best of all the ones I've seen from your trip.

Though I did enjoy the parrot and whoever that was. 

[Jane]

  Thank you.

[Jane]

Mykonos was not my favorite stop on the cruise and yet we still appreci9it.  There were plenty of little nooks for great pics and the windmills were a real treat.  The fact we were almost blown away added to the fun.

[Jeanne]

TOD:

I've always disliked "on set" too.

"My bad"--to me this is a stupid expression and an example of the dumbing down of the language.

Many years ago people started saying, "Sorry 'bout that" in a tone of voice that was snarky and dismissive. That one has always irritated me and I'm glad I seldom hear it now.

[Jane]

The ship is in port until 2:30am.  Apparently this is a party town.  It seemed as if the younger people were off the ship tonight.

[Jeanne]

TOD:  another one that puzzles me a bit is "Why is it always about you?"  - it just seems that mostly every accomplishment we make has something to do with ourselves in some way, even if it's as altruistic as the good feeling we get from having done something for someone else. 

But that's just me, I guess. 

I just saw "The Danish Girl" on HBO for the first time. What a wonderful film that is. But the wife at one point says to her husband "it isn't always about you" and I felt like no one would have said that in 1930.

That's a gripe I have with many shows depicting an earlier period. Many phrases we use today just weren't used then!

[Jeanne]

Continued mega vibes to TCB's family and to DF Sandy!

[Jane]

"My bad" to me is just another way of saying oops or I goofed.  I haven'the know anyone who used it for something serious.

[Jeanne]

I did the laundry and am already pooped. Lots here to do, but don't know how much I'll get done.

[Jeanne]

"My bad" to me is just another way of saying oops or I goofed.  I haven'the know anyone who used it for something serious.

I sometimes hear it in lieu of "I'm sorry" or "my mistake." In those instances, it sounds to me like they don't want to own up to their error.

[Jeanne]

TTFN.

A person should celebrate what passes by.

Oh....I hate the word "reboot" when someone is doing a new version of some crappy movie that nobody wants to see anyway......

Ditto!

Amen.

That's why it seemed so appropriate, my friend.
