Well, you've read the notes, the notes had both sense and sensibility, and now it is time for you to post until the sensible cows come home.

And the word of the day is: DOOVER!

Topic of the Day: I haven't watched it yet, but I borrowed a co-worker's copy of The Big Lebowski. I've had it for far too many months, and even though I've been home for two, count 'em, TWO whole months, I haven't really watched any movies, including this one. But, I WILL watch this one, because I want to return the DVD to my co-worker...eventually. Over the years, I've read enough about the movie and have seen clips on YouTube and the Internet to know that I'm sure that I'll like it. I just need to watch it.

Sometime in the early 2000s, I bought the original London cast recording to The Hired Man by Melvyn Bragg and Howard Goodall. I bought it because it was produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber. When I first got it, I listened to it once, and it didn't really grab me, so I just shelved it with the rest of my records and didn't think about it. Then a few years later, I said to myself that I really should listen to it again to make sure that I don't like it. I listened again and something must've happened in the intervening years because I instantly loved it!

Today, I have a Zoom check-in for my department at 10:00 in the freakin' morning, and then an all-staff update Zoom meeting at a more respectable 2:00 in the afternoon. Each is scheduled to last an hour. In the past, they may have ended early, but they've never gone past that hour, so that's good.

And now, I'm off to bed.

Have a good day, all!

Good morning, all!

My iMac is dead, so I am on my MacBook. I cannot call AppleCare until 8:00 because the computer is now seven years old and it's no longer under their protection. I'm hoping the support will help me get it back into commission.

I slept very poorly between the computer crash and the dead AC. I'll talk to Jeff about the air conditioner.

T.O.D.

When I was in high school, I avoided seeing CITIZEN KANE because it looked boring.

Then, when I was in college, it was on TV. I watched it and was "blown away".

I know that some people disagree with me, but I am among those who think it's the greatest American film ever made.

Druxy · « **Reply #11 on:** May 28, 2020, 04:58:08 AM »

The last movie I saw in a theater was 8 years ago, ZERO DARK THIRTY.

I used to rent films from Redbox, but not much any more.

Frankly, there's nothing out there that interests me.

I do try to see the Oscar contenders, though I've avoided PARASITE.

I don't like to "read" my films.

I guess it's an age thing.

Druxy · « **Reply #12 on:** May 28, 2020, 05:00:20 AM »

Actually, there's a lot of good stuff on TV these days.

However, that's going to change soon because of the pandemic.

Thankfully, I have 4000+ movies on DVD.

At a party, I’m usually the one pigging out on the horse’s DOOVERs.

Been there, done it. Even fairly recently. I’m blanking on examples at the moment, but there have been plenty.

I was in bed by three and it is now six and I have not slept one moment.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #18 on:** May 28, 2020, 06:11:05 AM »

It's early and MR BK is here.

We used to have a DOOVER but then we switched to an Electrolux.

Rain today - but still warm....highs in the 70's.

TOD:

The Sand Pebbles - I am sure THAT is a surprise [if you don't read the posts].

Funny Girl - which turned out to be very entertaining

The China Syndrome - much better than I thought with terrific performances

DR TCB did you get your computer camera working?

Vibes for the friends of DR JOHN G.

Still on my MacBook. At 8:00 I called Applecare and spoke to a lady from Florida. I don't think she knows what a computer does. Her advice: restart and see if it comes back within two hours. It was no help since it had been frozen all night as it tried to update. She seemed completely uninterested in doing more.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #26 on:** May 28, 2020, 08:04:53 AM »

I let it run for an hour and nothing happened, so I called back hoping I'd find someone more savvy. I got RJ from Toronto, who decided the best option was to wipe the Mac clean and reinstall my last backup from May 22. An hour later, my iMac is loading the last backup. In nine hours or less I should be in working order.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #27 on:** May 28, 2020, 08:05:37 AM »

I need to find our super and talk to him about the AC.

Thursday morning greetings! Dinner (split pea soup with ham, pork, and carrots) is in the crockpot and I've done my ankle PT.
