I am waiting for the Safeway delivery truck.  They just called to say they would be over an hour late.  I guess I can't really complain, this was offered as a freebie for me, since I am such a good customer.  ("A customer!"   A Sweeney Todd reference)

Nice.  Have they done this before?

T.O.D. (continued)

The Smith Brothers (I loved their Wild Cherry Cough Drops)

I like the Pine Bros cherry cough drops.


Never heard of them.

They have been around as long as I can remember, except when they took a break.

From Wikipedia:
"John Herman Pine (1847–1930)[1] and George William Pine (1848–1901)[2] were Philadelphia confectioner brothers. They emigrated from Germany in the 1860s with their parents, Frederick Pine and Margaretta Knopple Pine. In 1870 they formed Pine Brothers and opened a confectionery shop, selling Pine Brothers Glycerine Tablets.

The Pine family continued to run the Pine Bros. Soft Throat Drops business until the 1930s. The business has been sold several times since then. It was recently revived in 2012 by Victoria Knight-McDowell. The company continues to make softish cough drops."


I was very excited when they returned.  Lately I can't find them in the stores and have to order them online.

Apparently, in the Northwest, Smith Brothers cough drops are only available at Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

They might also sell the Pine Bros cough drops.

I have to go back to the Big Market for carrots.  Some idiot accidentally threw them out when he tossed the chicken bones and fat into the garbage chute.

I fell right to sleep last night only to wake up choking in my throat and coughing.  I finally got smart and rolled on my side and solved the problem then fell back to sleep.

Speaking of MACBETH, Tacoma Little Theatre is closing out their 99th Season with a production of MACBETH, set in World War I  It is directed by a friend of George.

I definitely am going to see this! :D

TOD from yesterday:
It's really getting on my nerves the way people now say "perfect" about everything. So, a waiter takes my order and says, "Perfect". Really? What about my order is perfect? Is my food going to be perfect? I doubt it.

Years ago, I was at this restaurant and our waitress said "You betcha" after EVERYTHING someone said!  I'd like a cheese burger.  You betcha.  Diet Pepsi.  You betcha.  Onion rings.  You betcha.

As to siblings, the Wachowski brothers are now the Wachowski sisters, or just the Wachowskis.  They have both come out as trans women.

Very true, Amy.  In fact, perfect!

Thanks.  It was just due to my allergies in my throat.  I was sure that I was disturbing Keith but he slept through it.

Back from my ophthalmology appointment.  My eyes are still blurry, so please forgive any typos.

Didn't Carol Channing or Bette Midler (or someone)  say things look almost twice as well when they're slightly blurry

This "Sling" TV ad where they confuse swinging with slinging makes me wonder if they named themselves just for the ad campaign.  Some of their ads are funny, though, in a good kind of sitcom-like way.
