Four!

Hello, 9-1-1?  There’s been an accident!  No, I don’t think anyone was hurt.  It looks like a movie reminiscence got into a wreck with a cat litter comparison.  Yes, we’ll wait here, thank you.

I had been wondering if the movie was titled Kitty Litter or if Kitty Litter was the star!

Relaxing.  In about fifteen minutes I'll shave and shower.

[Jennifer]

OMG DR Vixmom!  Is your mom okay?  Are you okay?  That is so crazy. I can't believe that your mom thought that she should go to the post office. I wonder if she was just super lonely.

[Jrand74]

For some reason I do not know - we were shown YOU'RE A BIG BOY NOW at school.....I don't even remember what class it was in or what the reason was.

I thought it was very amusing and I thought Peter Kastner was very funny.....the next time I saw him was in the TV show THE UGLIEST GIRL IN TOWN.....or maybe I had seen that first.....

Strange.....what you remember and what you don't......

[Jennifer]

DR Jane I am curious if people give presents for a zoom birthday party.  My niece is having her 11th birthday next Sunday over zoom. But it never occurred to me that people would do presents.  I suppose that some could do gift cards. But I honestly have no idea what people will do.

[bk]

Just over an hour until show time.  I'm ready!

If you could search through the shelves of some long-defunct video boutiques, you'd probably find at least one of those!

[ChasSmith]

I'm wondering if I should attempt connecting the MacBook to the A/V receiver via HDMI and watching/listening on the big screen and the Great Big Speakers. There would seem to be no reason that shouldn't work. Yes? No? Hmm...

[ChasSmith]

One downside is that I'd be on WiFi and I do love my fast direct connection upstairs. And the desk monitors are very good.
Hmm...

[Jane]

DR Vixmom was the letter ever mailed?

Yes the person who called me mailed it for her

Thankfully the nice person found your mother.

[Laura]

Good afternoon.

[Laura]

What an awful story, Vixmom. Sending vibes that she will recover quickly.

[Jane]

DR George is holding a pair of low cards!
DR Elmore, I’ll see your 37 and raise you 44.

This is what I bring home from Costco, two at a time.
$8.00 each.

I can barely tote the 37 lbs!  I was just comparing prices on my litter: $25.95 at Amazon, $15.95 at Petco.

Believe me, when I get these home and UPSTAIRS to the room where the litter boxes are, I’m about done for the day.    (This is also where having a car and a nearby Costco make all the difference!)

In 1966 I worked at the Bruin Theater when this was showing.  One day Tony Bill came in to see the movie.  Another girl & working behind the candy counter were all smiles over the super cute guy we helped.  After he went in to the movie the door man couldn't stop laughing because we had no clue it was Tony Bill.  He was much better looking in person

I couldn't remember if it was the Village or the Bruin.  It opened there on December 9, 1966 and I must have seen it either on my birthday or a day or two after.  Did I say hi to you?

If it opened on the 9th you probably saw it after your birthday   If you saw me you said hello.  I expect it was initially very busy.  Tony Bill went in on a semi quiet showing. 

[George]

DR George, 9 lb. bags of litter?  I get 37 lb. cartons!

It's only 9 lbs because there's no clay.  It uses corn husk fibers as the clumping agent, so it's much less heavy.  I don't know what the equivalent would be, but it does last a while.  And, there's NO dust whatsoever.  That also happens with clay litter...even when it says it's their "lowest dust formula" or something like that.

[Laura]

In her later years, my mother only drove to the doctor and grocery store (within two miles) and the church, which at that time was about six miles away. She had been driving there for so many years she couldn't get lost.

The last couple of months she didn't drive at all. So I was pretty lucky that way.

[George]

When my dad got into his late 70s I started to worry about his driving.  He was constantly picking up and driving to Tucson, Yellowstone, wherever and whenever the urge to move took him.  I had visions of his having a heart attack on some mountain road out west, taking several cars with him, and the estate ending up in unlawful death suits.  When his oncologist made him give up driving at the age of 83, I heaved a big sigh of relief.

My mom finally made my dad stop driving earlier this year.  He really didn't object too much.  It also didn't hurt that his tire is blown and he can't drive the car anywhere, anyway.

[Jane]

For some reason I do not know - we were shown YOU'RE A BIG BOY NOW at school.....I don't even remember what class it was in or what the reason was.

I thought it was very amusing and I thought Peter Kastner was very funny.....the next time I saw him was in the TV show THE UGLIEST GIRL IN TOWN.....or maybe I had seen that first.....

Strange.....what you remember and what you don't......

It seems like an unusual movie to show in school unless it was a film class.

[George]

Of course, my mom now has to drive him everywhere, but since he can't go to the casino now, the only places that she takes him are to his church and doctors' appointments.

[Laura]

I got up at 5 a.m. for my 1.5 hour walk. Then my daughter and I drove up north to check on some unusual native plants I had found in the National Forest. I had seen some construction going on in the fall. We discovered that everything had been leveled and a picnic ramada now stands where the plants were.

[George]

I discovered around ten years ago that I was lactose intolerant, so I gave up milk.  This past week I finally tried Lactaid and loved it.  I'm back to cereal for breakfast.

That's great, Larry!

[Laura]

Vixmom, I suggest that Vixdad gives the car the nun treatment. Like in Sound of Music.

[George]

DR GEORGE if I end up with a bag that can't be closed.....I use a chip clip or two.....of course litter is much heavier....but at least it would be closed.

Yes, I do have clips.  I'm just used to most plastic bags having some sort of built-in closure.

[George]

The POLITESSE of the general public has been tried during the pandemic to be sure.

Example from the Long Island Nuz this morning:

"Yesterday while we were waiting in line to get into the grocery store some woman claimed she was only going in to get her glasses fixed and the policeman let her in!  I'm sure she was going in to get ice cream and toilet paper."

[ChasSmith]

The jury has reached a verdict!

HDMI and 50-inch screen and Big Speakers it shall be.

[Jane]

DR Jane I am curious if people give presents for a zoom birthday party.  My niece is having her 11th birthday next Sunday over zoom. But it never occurred to me that people would do presents.  I suppose that some could do gift cards. But I honestly have no idea what people will do.

We aren't sure if we are invited to the Zoom party.  If we are, then I expect it is with the adults in her life who normally give her gifts and she would open those at the party.  With children, I would think they just all gather together for lunch or something and talk.

Thinking about it, one could hire a magician or something to entertain the kids.  Do you know what they are doing for the Zoom party?

The Zoom shower for DR Ginny's daughter in-law included gifts.  Ginny she opened them at the party, right?  What else did they do?

Hope that works - fast Internet speeds are key with Facebook - not so much YouTube, though.

[ChasSmith]

So we're all set up and ready to go here.

I just won't be around posting - not that anyone will be - while the show is going on.

[bk]

Thirty-five minutes to show time.  Guess we'll all get ready now.

[ChasSmith]

Hope that works - fast Internet speeds are key with Facebook - not so much YouTube, though.

I just tested it with an existing Kritzerland video on YouTube, and it's great. I'll just leave it there.
