DR Jeanne do you have a new date for your surgery?

No. I have two weeks I'm trying to keep open. After that I have several medical appointments that I can't really reschedule. I suspect it will have to wait until next year. Mostly I'd like a date I can plan around. Trying to be free for a last-minute notification isn't easy.

LOL yes I know it's a hard question....LOL.....so I will withdraw it.

Oh, don't withdraw it.

How about MY FAIR LADY with DC Annabelle as Eliza Doolittle? Who will play 'enry 'iggens? Jrand, are you up for that?

I went to the hairdresser today, then to my favorite food store.

While I was at the hairdresser a young woman walked in wearing very pale make-up on her face, lots of dark eye make-up, and black lipstick. Her hair had been dyed blonde but had two inches of dark roots AND black sections. She wore a black velvet skirt, camisole, and jacket. Since tomorrow is Halloween I thought this might be a Halloween costume, but didn't dare ask. Someone else did so, though, and we learned that that is her everyday look. Richard, my hairdresser, said to me when he was out of earshot, "That is so ugly!" Usually he says that if he likes the person he likes the hair. Her hair looked very unhealthy.

Her newly touched up look still includes black sections, but without the dark roots for the blonde parts. She was a pretty girl and could have looked very attractive with something a bit more conventional. But perhaps she's happy with this.

Jane, my favorite food store had artichoke soup today. It was really good! Made with jerusalem artichokes, leeks, and onions. I was told when I sampled it that it was vegan, but I don't think so. The ingredients label listed chicken stock and cream, and I don't know if you can get that delicious cream taste without real cream. The chicken stock is easy to substitute. If I felt more like cooking I might try it myself at home.

Jeanne · « **Reply #96 on:** October 30, 2019, 05:39:46 PM »

John G, have you every made jerusalem artichoke soup?

Good news on the Getty fire. Containment is now at 27%, but the air is still VERY dry. The Mandatory Evacuation zone has been decreased, the Evacuation Warning area (be packed up and ready to leave immediately) eliminated, and many areas have been given the OK to "repopluate." Over 7000 homes were affected, representing many more people, as most housed families.

I checked out the evacuation centers the other day, only to learn that an evacuation center is not the same as a shelter. Evacuation centers close at 8 pm and you cannot stay overnight. God only knows where 7000 households were expected to go. I'm very glad that so many are able to return home.

It sounds good. I don't ask about stock anymore.

Yes, I'd like it done, but I'm resigned to it not happening for a while yet.

My cousin put a lovely post on fb today about what the Regan Library means to her. Later I commented it seems to have been saved. I knew the firefighters did a great job protecting the library. What I didn't know is the library also takes care of protecting the property from fires. In my cousin's words....

"the goats 🐐 cleared the surrounding property all year long" They are "Very aggressive on the clearing. The goats were working hard."

The Getty, on the other hand, incorporated a very high-tech fire prevention design. In case of a fire, the Getty would be the place to be.

I love MY FAIR LADY as well DR ELMORE....I'm not sure about the latest revival - is it still running - but it would be hard to mess it up.

I am sure it has been done though.

I understand the Melissa Errico-Richard Chamberlin revival was not a thrill.

What ever happened to dear reader George, who never posted last night - which is - unusual.

Maybe the helicopter in Miss Saigon bore him away.
