So Signed English is going the way of the DoDo Bird......in a manner of speaking.

And Gregg shorthand -- the only thing I ever excelled at.

You excel at photography and baking and a cute grandbaby.

And mentoring a wonderful young lady.

I concur

In 1912, Minnesota grocer Walter H. Deubner created the first paper tote bag. He noticed that his customers’ purchases were limited by what they could conveniently carry, so he decided to reinforce a paper bag with cord and handles. The Deubner bags were sold for 5 cents each, the same price most “wholesale outlets” charge these days. Deubner patented his product and within three years, by 1915, was selling over a million of shopping bags a year.

It's back to Lisbon. This is one quirky movie.

I stayed up way too late last night finishing off my book. I need to get some sleep tonight.

Clearly, Druxy, you know absolutely zero about Fosse and Ms. Verdon - NOT Vernon. Gwen Vernon was a fish peddler from Minsk.

I was looking for a snack - I had one thing in the house - Campbell's chunky spicy chicken quesadilla soup. So, I heated it up. I took one spoonful, got the taste of it and spit it out. I tried a second spoonful - spit it out. Why? Because this soup tastes like vomit. Like really bad vomit. I'm not kidding here - it literally tastes like vomit. It made me want to vomit on the ground but then I would have had two helpings of vomit. I threw it away, needless to say.

Jane · « **Reply #131 on:** May 09, 2019, 10:10:21 PM »

Wow, only one thing in the house. Does that include drinks?

bk · « **Reply #132 on:** May 09, 2019, 10:27:29 PM »

No, I have drinks, although I'm running low. I have circus peanuts and Milk Duds, too.

Jane · « **Reply #133 on:** May 09, 2019, 10:37:10 PM »

Peanuts sre a good snack though after that description I think toothpast is better

bk · « **Reply #134 on:** May 09, 2019, 10:47:33 PM »

No, Circus Peanuts - you know, those orange candy peanut-shaped marshmallow-ish thing.

Since ChasSmith raved about the Ormandy Carmina Burana, I found my Ormandy box set and put it in iTunes - it's next up in the playlist - first I also uploaded a CD with an Alban Berg Lulu Suite, which is quite enjoyable (now playing), Webern's Im Sommerwind, and Hindemith's Mathis de Maler - and one for Maler. Then comes the Orff.

When I was in the Western Washington University Concert Choir, we performed the Duruflé Requiem. It was one of my favorite pieces that we did.

Hi, George, how's it going with you and Neve?

I just watched 2010.

Hi, Tom. You all packed up and ready to move?

George · « **Reply #142 on:** May 09, 2019, 11:20:39 PM »

It was...interesting. I didn't realize that Candice Bergen was the voice of SAL 9000.

Here is a headline from one of our local news program:

Hi, jan. We're doing well. I'm watching TV and Neve is probably out back. I leave the back door open until it gets too late...which it is now.

Not something I would eat. I was thinking peanuts in a shell.

Jane · « **Reply #148 on:** May 09, 2019, 11:27:44 PM »

The candy is shaped like fresh peanuts in a shell.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you for your continued good wishes about my new condo. I apologize for being horribly self-consumed I have been about this whole mixed up process. You are all wonderful and I am grateful for your friendship.
