But Breyer's somehow never satisfies like Hog and Daz. And now that those pints are 14 ounces rather than 16 ounces, it's so tempting to convince myself that when 14 ounces disappear in two days, that hey, it's not THAT bad, it wasn't a full pint.

Those small containers of Hog and Daz (love it) last longer when you use matching sized cones.

My scoops do not look this pretty or have extra toppings of sugar.

DR Ginny enjoy your new bed tonight.

Richard is lying down right now, reading a book. I just ordered new bedside tables to replace the ones we've been using for as long as I can remember. My parents bought them in 1959, so I think we've gotten their money's worth...

You can sell them as vintage furniture.

Is it Ok with BK to post this.

"Charlie's Place" and "Over Here" title song, from the 1974 Tonys, a little static at the top, but then the video soon settles in

Great ice cream shots, Jane!

Flaws in presentation, to me, make everything look homemade and personal.

ChasSmith - delicate string fills in ANNIE? Since when? It's one violin. Or is this some Keith Levinson redo?

Right. It’s “violin” and “cello” in the full score, except in a few songs where the designation is “violins” for no apparent reason. For this production we have everything but the strings (we do have stand-up bass), hence the “delicate fills” because I’m not in favor of bleating out solo string passages on a synth. The synth book even has a few full “chamber strings” passages. None of us has any faith in the rental materials being very close to the original.

vixmom, does the assistant report right to you, take duties and order of performance of tasks directly from you? (If there's any way to haggle for that hierarchy right from the first week, that could have long-term benefits.)

Very good point. I rather assumed that "assistant" meant that, but clearly I was being naive.

Hoping that's what it is, that the person answers directly to vixmom.

What Haagen did was make the carton smaller rather than raise the price, at the time, It has gone up since then, at least in our nearby markets.

I think one of the first parody lyrics I ever wrote that got performed was called "Over Her!" - a fake-news parody of "Over Here" - it was a totally-pretend idea of the Andrews Sisters being annoyed with Janie Sell for walking away with their show in terms of awards and stuff.

For the benefit of the parody stalkers. . here it is

ANDREWS SISTERS sing "OVER HER" about everyone fawning over Janie Sell even more than over the Sisters: (tune of "Over Here" title song)

Now we’re here singing and we’re dancing to that Sherman score
Huffin’ and a-wheezin’ til we can’t take no more
But all our hard work has gotten shot right to hell
‘Cause of that young siren known as Janie Sell

We give our all
And what a switch
Critics all went clacky-wacky over that b*tch

We're over her, ick-icky-poo
We hate her guts ‘cause she's stealing our show
We're over her, ick-icky-poo
She makes us nuts and we wish she would blow

While Miss Sell steals scenes so sweetly
We sisters are completely
Over her
Ick-ick-icky-poo

We hate her
Can’t tell you how much we hate her
All the critics want to date her
We’re getting’ bored
Watch her win our Tony award

We’re over her, ick-icky-poo
We thought this show’s a big comeback for us
We’re over her, ick-icky-poo
The hatred grows as they’re makin’ a fuss

Though we’ll do our bis-tu-shein-ing
You’ll hear us both complaining
We’re over her
Ick-ick-icky-poo!

Funny, Fred!

DR TCB American gelato, IMHO, ranges from ok to rather bad. I don't recall ever having good store bought gelato.

I've found a gelato where they throw extra stuff like chocolate chips in them tend to taste as good as ice creams like Breyer's, and at times have fewer calories. But then I seem to make up for the saved calories with cookies since gelato doesn't satisfy like ice cream.

I am not a fan of Breyer's ice cream so that isn't saying much, IMHO-lol.

My sister and niece REALLY like Breyer's vanilla bean ice cream.

Building inspection #1 is over. There's good news and bad news.

The "crack in the ceiling" that the manager recalled seeing during the inspection last December is actually a large area of damaged plaster in my kitchen ceiling, the result of multiple roof leaks (the leaks were fixed, but not the interior). I estimate it at 8-10 sq ft. The manager has decided that it needs to be fixed properly, ie, old plaster removed and drywall installed. That's the best solution from their standpoint, but not from mine. Last December the owner thought that a piece of plywood could be installed instead. It wouldn't look good, but I wouldn't have to move out. Under this plan I will have to move out. I am currently negotiating some sort of compensation. They are not willing to pay hotel bills, but I do need to check California law. If anyone here has any insight into this, please let me know.

And the good news? They've agreed to replace the decrepit showerhead.

I am exhausted. I simply cannot do much cleaning any more. I also woke up early, knowing that the inspection was starting at 8.
