Congratulations on the hisses and boos, TCB! I love audience reaction like that.

Don't worry, Elmore. The Barber is hiding with the War & Peace set.

DR JohnG, did you recognize "She Loves Me" in the Garland film?

I knew that before going in. I just didn't remember so many long stretches of nothing as well as that ridiculous subplot about the violin and a possible other love interest for Van Johnson.

Kathleen Wilhoite was a great singer in Cop Rock. She had possibly the most affecting solo in the entire short history of the show.

She plays a drug addicted mother singing about having to sell her child in order to get the drugs she craves.

Jane, the lemon meringue pie was store-bought, and it just ain't like Mom's. But it's pretty good.

Makes me hungry for a grapefruit meringue pie, but it has been cold enough yet down here for the grapefruit to sweeten up. That's the only meringue pie I make.

I am not sure why I have not tried pumpkin pie. It's not that popular here. And I never go to a big Thanksgiving dinner.

OMG I was just reading about DR Vixmom's thanksgiving experience.

Sorry, but who would prepare the side dishes sick? And why didn't they tell you guys in advance that they were all so sick?

Some of my friends think he's gearing up to enter politics...

Yesterday Vixdad and I went out chair shopping. Our recliner live seat has seen better days and we decided to get two recliners to replace it

vixmom · « **Reply #44 on:** November 26, 2016, 07:45:14 AM »

We couldn't agree on a chair but ended up finding two chairs that were similar but his wider than the one I like but they will both be covered in the same fabric

They are our Christmas presents to each other... But they won't be ready for 8 weeks!!

vixmom · « **Reply #46 on:** November 26, 2016, 07:46:33 AM »

So they should be ready to deliver them at the height of the blizzard season

Just ordered and printed tickets to see She Loves Me on the big screen this coming Thursday evening!

I'm up, I'm up - barely - maybe five hours of sleep. I think I'll delay the jog until the afternoon.

The player automatically recognizes when it's an SACD disc - I know not how.

You know, I think a couple of my RCA Living Stereo CDs ARE of that hybrid format. (I think they were called hybrids -?)

I'll look later, got to run out now. Don't know why I never checked this out myself, but I'd guess I "should" be set up to play them.
Yes? No? Maybe? Stay tuned...

Well, I had a total washout this morning. I waited forever for a bus to get me to 86th and Columbus. The TD Bank had a coin counting contraption and I had a jar of coins to convert to bills. Well, they no longer have the service. Dammit.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #52 on:** November 26, 2016, 10:23:55 AM »

Then, I went to the Post Office. The jerk delivery truck driver left me a second notice if a delivery attempt. Okay, wher's the first delivery attempt notice? So, I had no idea what it was and I figured there was not enough info on the delviery attempt slip to ask the PO to redeliver so i went to hte Post Office.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #53 on:** November 26, 2016, 10:26:31 AM »

It's outrageous for a bank to remove that kind of service.

The one at my bank is great -- it not only works 99% of the time, it's free if you have any kind of account there.
(Otherwise, 8% or something.)

I was handed a package from Amazon.co.uk that Amazon told me would be delivered next week! Simce I had a final delivery notice, I don't know when the hell it arrived, but it was the new Yeomen of the Guard full score from Oxford University Press that I paid $100 for with my last G&D check.

The carton was flimsy, water-damaged and torn open, and the new score looks like a bad second-hand copy with water-damaged pages and bent pages. I am absolutely furious for several reasons: if the asshole Post Service driver had simply left it my lobby as usual on the first delivery attempt, I mighht have salvaged it a lot better, and I have received much more securely bundled packages from Amazon.co.uk in the past.

I've sent them a thank you and fuck you email, and now I wait for their response.

Thinking about the passing of Fidel Castro.

Back in 1959, right after the Cuban Revolution, when I was a senior in high school, I wrote a term paper in my Social Studies class in which I argued that Castro would NOT become a dictator.

As I recall, I got an "A" for that paper.

A couple of years later, I have no doubt that I would have received an "F".
