The elevator is finally running, so I've taken the garbage to the basement.  Our landlord has been high on my shit list since that entire eviction nonsense, but at the moment they really suck.  We've had no super for the past four months, only an interim who sends worker to clean, etc.  Well, no one's taken care of the laundry room in a week and it is disgusting with bags of trash, furniture, cardboard cartons piled up everywhere.

Can you take photos and send them to the proper city rental authorities?

I have no urge to get into another contretemps with my landlord.

Now here is a tip - not particularly for all we millionaires here at HHW - but you can pass it along to your poor relatives.  :D

I love my car - but it IS 15 years old.  A few years ago my brother Dane used one of those kits to try to get the lenses on my headlights clean because they were very cloudy.  He had to use sandpaper and some kind of formula on it....and it wasn't so hot. :-\

I mentioned this to my older brother Mike on Friday.  He texted me to tell me that my nephew Paul suggested the toothpaste rub....use a soft dry cloth and TOOTHPASTE....rub for a few minutes.  :o

Then use a wet cloth to wipe off the lens.

Well, folks, they look like new!  I highly recommend the Ultra Brite treatment if anyone has cloudy headlight lenses.....   8)

And another thank-ye for DR Jrand68. I really need to do this for my SEVENTEEN-year-old, and I'd recently researched the best kits to buy. I'll try this method first, before dropping a double sawbuck. If I still buy one, it'll be one of those in which you can mount the pads on a drill.

DR Elmore, I look forward to giving those final tweaks a listen. It'll happen later in the coming week, but it's on my list.

Tonight Stella finally did it.  She jumped into the bathwater.  She was unpleasantly surprised, and  I don't think she will ever do it again.

Funny.  Was she able to get out on her own or did you have to rescue her?

I finally purchased a new Samsung Tab A 8".  The battery should last longer & it has a bluelight option which I am hoping will reduce my headaches/mild migraines.

Keith talked me out of taking my tablet with me to Best Buy.  When the very helpful Samsung person told me the new tablet is the same size as my old one I didn't completely believe her but did not pursue without proof.  Now I need to find a cover that fits the new size.  My big issue is that I do not like the new shape which is wide screen for movie viewing but more narrow for book reading unless I hold the tablet sideways.  I hate doing that since books are not shaped that way.  I also can't find a tablet cover I want. 

Oh, the little irritants in life.  Fingers crossed the bluelight helps as I am a bit fed up with these migraines.

I also thought the latest tablet version was 2018 & found out it is 2017.  I made decide to return it and see if I can keep my current tablet from dying until the next update is released.

Two members of our bible study group were not able to make it tonight, so we just watched a couple of movies instead. The first was a Harold Lloyd short called Take a Chance. It was truly funny. Choreographed to within an inch of its life.

We need something funny. One member just found out that her daughter's breast cancer has returned and metastasized. Needless to say, she's incredibly upset by the news.

Her daughter and son-in-law are of the opinion that they aren't going to tell their children, one of whom is headed off to Dublin for school. The other is in high school.

So, she needed a little escapism. The feature was Murder on the Nile, which I hadn't seen since it came out in 1978. Angela Lansbury was fun, but she looked like she was wearing her Nellie Lovett makeup and someone else's hair.

The all-star cast included David Niven, Bette Davis, Maggie Smith, George Kennedy, Olivia Hussey, Mia Farrow, Simon McCorkindale, Lois Chiles and Jane Birkin as well as Peter Ustinov in his first outing as Poirot.

Smith and Birkin were back with Ustinov in Evil Under the Sun.

My new uberboss (well, three levels up) introduced himself to our team the other day. He said his hobby was restoring pinball machines. s
