Three!

What is this page three malarkey?

John G. · « **Reply #62 on:** April 20, 2018, 02:02:07 PM »

What is the derivation of that word, malarkey? And why is it yekralam spelled backwards?

And I am home! The babies were waiting to let me know their dinner was 30 minutes late, and now they are happy.

And I am home! But leaving now, to scare up something to eat, and to find this country theater where I'm seeing It Should Have Been You.

Had a very nice lunch meeting, a nice antidote to the annoying morning. They're fixing the book, but now I have to get another test book, approve it, then they'll send me the replacement books and I'll toss the mistake copies in the trash.

The band reading went well. I can't say I'm crazy about the orchestrations. I thought there were a couple of beautiful charts, but i felt much of te rest sounded as though the music team thought, this 1930s stuff is so old-fashioned, we'd better tart it up, and they went too far.

Picked up one package and within a minute of my leaving, another arrived.

DR JRand67, that Dream-o-matic is amazing. Thank you.

A couple of friends asked me if we could brave the TDF waters to see Hello, Dolly! with Bernadette. I'm certainly game, so we just paid our money and took our chances for Wednesday, May 2.

Thank you DR ELMORE.

Ugh I hate tarted up music.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #71 on:** April 20, 2018, 03:03:59 PM »

I shall now be on my way to relive the tribulations, humiliations, and joys of my high school years.

It's just another one of life's mysterious and imponderable mysteries.

So do I.

Hello, everyone.

Vibes to DR John G's friend Cecil.

I'd like to find a treasure trove. I threw out so many things years ago, influenced my all those anti-clutter folks. Then ANTIQUES ROADSHOW came along and showed me what a mistake I'd made.

Jeanne · « **Reply #77 on:** April 20, 2018, 04:01:55 PM »

But I'm glad BK found his. His stuff is worth far more than mine would have been, I'm sure.

Jeanne · « **Reply #78 on:** April 20, 2018, 04:02:34 PM »

Vibes to Jrand for a fun high school reunion.

Re editing errors:
I've found that in many cases someone went in to fix a mistake and inadvertently created one or two new ones in the process. I've seen this sooo many times.

I've also found that very few people proof their work.

TOD:

Maybe REILLY, ACE OF SPIES

Maybe something else instead.

Weekend vibes to all.

TTFN.

We had a nice hike today and are now in our hotel room with a little view of the lake.

Jane · « **Reply #83 on:** April 20, 2018, 04:28:12 PM »

As soon as I am done freshening up we will go to the lobby for drinks around the fireplace.

Well that's not a mistake I've ever made.

And when I'm famous my 1st grade spelling test is gonna be worth a fortune !

Today I decided to make a phone call for dinner

vixmom · « **Reply #87 on:** April 20, 2018, 04:56:08 PM »

Pizza and wings should be here shortly

bk · « **Reply #88 on:** April 20, 2018, 05:17:49 PM »

I wouldn't call the book problem an editing mistake or proofing mistake. In fact, all I've tried to do is get a straight answer as to how they can manipulate a locked PDF in any way, shape, or form. When this is all made right, that conversation will happen.

bk · « **Reply #89 on:** April 20, 2018, 05:18:06 PM »

I'm exhausted.
