Doug kept trying to tell me we had to use a cane and I kept saying no, you wrote a headstrong girl who has slight sight. He bought it and brought it to rehearsal. He really wanted it in the first scene with the male teacher and I said "Have you read your play?" The first thing that happens is he doesn't know she's blind - if she has a cane, well, game's up.

That would be a roll your eyes moment

Annabelle is chirping and trilling this morning. That's something she does when she's really content or happy, so that cheered me right up.

DR Jane, my book group was an audio-only call, but some of the same people met a few nights later for a board meeting on UberConference. On that some had both audio and video and others, like me, were audio only.

Tomorrow I’m meeting with another book group in Google Hangouts and I’ll let you know how that goes.

Thank you. I am curious as I want to suggest this to our book group. With my hearing it would probably be useless for me but others might enjoy it.

When is your Google Hangouts meeting?

As soon as I finished cleaning the litter, before I assembled the litter box, Stella jumped in to have a pee. As soon as she finished, I scooped it up - the clumping litter turns it into a hard ball of litter - and dumped it in the bag with the other litter, When she turned to burry it, it wasn't there. She was quite confused.

Three hours of sleep so far. Going back to bed. Today's extreme stupidity, a new meme saying to tip your server for delivery and pick-up because it's the right thing to do. I had to explain that it's automatically applied when you order from ANYWHERE because there is no touching allowed on delivery and pick-up. You get a choice of what percentage but 10% is automatic. And then some idiot comes in and says what I'm saying isn't true. And THIS is why Facebook should go away and never come back in the form it's in.

Stupid though they are trying to be thoughtful.

For those using Instacart it seems the workers are striking until the company does more to protect them from the coronavirus.

Jane · « **Reply #39 on:** March 30, 2020, 10:36:00 AM »

Bruce one of the things the Instacart people are asking for is a tip.
"Hazard pay — an extra $5 per order and defaulting the in-app tip amount to at least 10% of the order total."

Jane · « **Reply #40 on:** March 30, 2020, 10:37:49 AM »

I looked it up and currently they only get 5%.

Freyja was fun yesterday during our video chat. They have an app with images babies like and turned it on while we were chatting. I don't know about other babies but Freyja certainly likes it.

While we were talking I mentioned my disappointment we still hadn't seen a good face forward view of her smile and both dimples at once.

Think morning Kate sent us a wonderful action clip she put together from 5 photos, ending with a super cute smile

That is so sweet DR JANE.....we are one day closer to the time you get to hug that baby!!!!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #46 on:** March 30, 2020, 11:53:46 AM »

Nothing is happening here and that's okay.

My brother and I are going to the WalMart Old Folks party in the morning at 6 a.m. I need some bananas and water......some ground beef for a meatloaf if available.....and some TP for my sister is available.....and some vodka.....at least April only has 30 days.

Newspapers.com is offering 30 Days free if you rejoin using the code NEWS.....so I may do that tomorrow. Of course I will leave again before the 30 days are up.....but don't tell them.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #47 on:** March 30, 2020, 11:54:57 AM »

I always like to find new Allison Hayes and Frances Farmer contemporary news and then look at this and that for family news...

ChasSmith · « **Reply #48 on:** March 30, 2020, 12:20:16 PM »

Thanks for the heads up on newspapers.com, DR Jrand69. My first thought is always "does that include the premium ones"? Which naturally are the ones I most want, so it probably doesn't. But I'll check it out and go through some others, anyway.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #49 on:** March 30, 2020, 12:32:04 PM »

Well, I got in with my old login, but all I see is their usual 7-free-days offer. I followed that link, and there's no place to put a code to get the 30 days. Unless it's AFTER giving them my credit card info. I don't want to find myself with only the seven, so I'm backing out of there and I'll see if I can figure it out. Let me know if you succeed.

Too true to be funny.

bk · « **Reply #51 on:** March 30, 2020, 01:41:15 PM »

Instacart has the 5% tip built in - it's automatic and can't opt out of it. You can leave more but I've tried to do that and they make it almost impossible - so the strike is probably a good idea - it should be at least 10% of the total order with an easy to choose option to add on to it if you're happy. But that's not what these boys were talking about - they were talking about curbside pick-up - and they're telling me that in their city the servers can get stiffed and I don't get it, frankly and, as always, ask for proof, the name of a service or restaurant where I can see this, which they conveniently NEVER provide.

I'm up again. Three hours this morning and an additional four after a while.

I guess I'll try to at least finish this essay and then I can take a break, then finesse. Does anyone have the Harold Prince on Directing book? I have it but heaven knows where it is. If so, if someone could send me anything to do with the early part of the Cabaret creation it would be helpful. Pretty sure I've got most of that right, though.

Is that Conversations with Hal Prince?

I have something called Harold Prince: From Pajama Game to Phantom of the Opera and Beyond.

Which recording?

bk · « **Reply #59 on:** March 30, 2020, 02:45:45 PM »

Could be conversations with Harold Prince. But I finished it (about thirty words under 1500), and already have futzed and finessed and added and subtracted, moving things around constantly so that the forward momentum is there as well as clarity. I'll look at it again a little later. I wouldn't mind a couple of review quotes - I have Walter Kerr, but I know there are others that were in the tour souvenir program - if anyone has any quotes, send 'em to me.
