I am so sorry about your friends daughter, John

[John G.]

I am so sorry about your friends daughter, John

Thank you, Vixmom.

[John G.]

I needed some more laughs. I'm watching a Royal Shakespeare Company production of Twelfth Night. The Feste is excellent. The Malvolio is unctuous and the Sir Toby Belch is more given to farting than belching. All wonderful.

[John G.]

Vixmom, your day sounds wonderful.

[John G.]

Good night, all.

Today, the Olympia chapter of PFLAG is having their annual picnic.  My sister wants me to help set up the picnic area before it starts, so I will.  I won't stay for it this year because my friend Margo and I are going to see the 1:35 showing of The Art of Racing in the Rain.  A local theater group last year did a stage production and it was wonderful.

I hope you like it.  I have heard it was good.  I am waiting for a report from someone who also read the book.

We both really enjoyed the movie.  Margo thought that it slowed down in the middle a little too much for her liking, but I didn't have a problem with that.  Recommended by the likes of me.

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

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. 

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.....   

I bought one of those kits, too, but I haven't even opened it, yet.  I did, however, hear from several people about using toothpaste, but I haven't tried that, either.

Last night we watched the first half of Carry On Cowboy, a fantastic parody with a bunch of excellent British farceurs attempting cowboy accents.  Kenneth Williams is wonderful as the judge needing a marshal to rid his town of the Rumpo Kid and his gang and Jim Dale plays a bumbling drainage expert, Marshall P. Knutt, who's mistaken for the new peace maker.  Jon Pertwee as nearly deaf and blind Sheriff Earp has a brilliant slapstick turn before he is gunned down by the Rumpo Kid.

This sounds delightful, DR Elmore.

The trailer:

Growing up, my sister and I would watch the Carry On movies every time they were on TV.  I don't specifically remember which we watched, but we really enjoyed them.

#100!!

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.

  Best wishes for her daughter.

[Jane]

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 sad.  I hope she can get into a trial program that can help her.

[Jane]

They had all sorts of pinball machines and arcade games and old video games set up

That sou ds like fun.

120%!!!

The meeting went well and the wish from the two geniuses that they never work at our theatre again will be granted.....

As they say...good riddance to bad rubbish!

[George]

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.

~~~Vibes for Getting a New Super, and Quickly!!~~~

ChasSmith's review on Audible is up:

 A most delightful Adriana!

I am very familiar with Bruce Kimmel’s Adriana Hofstetter mysteries and have previously reviewed the books themselves on Amazon. These are my comments on the Audible edition.

When I heard there was to be an audio version of the latest book in the series, I couldn’t wait to listen because these stories are perfect candidates for this treatment. And I’m very happy to say that Moira Todd’s reading is a delight. She possesses a lovely clear voice that beautifully captures the character of Adriana and the world around her. Character dialogue is voiced with just enough distinction for this listener’s taste, and the reading is eminently listenable overall, successfully bringing a favorite series to life.

The Adriana books are highly recommended for younger and older readers alike, and I hope many more Audible editions will follow. Kudos to Bruce Kimmel and to Moira Todd for such a lovely start.

That's wonderful!  I enjoyed the short sample.

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.

[George]

I did something I've been threatening to do for the past three years - I cleaned out the trunk of my car!

Three years...is that all??

Oh, no.  I'm so sorry.

[George]

I haven't played pinball in close to 40 years....I had so much fun...all the kids there had no idea how to play or how it worked

Eagan's is a local burger joint, and they have a couple of old, but still working, pinball machines.  People have used them when I was there...not very often, but it has happened.

[TCB]

Good evening.

[TCB]

DR TCB, your home looks quite lovely.  I was going to ask about the guest room, but you clearly haven't one.  Yet.

I am sorry, Elmore; but there is only the one bed for the moment.

[TCB]

That situation will probably remain until my sister decides if she and her two dogs will be leaving her husband.

[TCB]

Hi, George.

[George]

Hi, Tom.

[George]

That situation will probably remain until my sister decides if she and her two dogs will be leaving her husband.

Is that a possibility?? 

[George]

Or just a joke?
