TOD - last night's show was a delight from start to finish.  There were a couple of Cincinnati connections that I found interesting.  I think Pam Myers is living here now, so her number was probably done somewhere not that far from where I live.  And, among the other people commenting, there was a Philip Joseph Nuxhall, whose books I used a couple of years ago preparing a report on Cincinnati's Spring Grove Cemetery for one of my ladies' groups.  Is he a friend of yours, BK, or maybe he was watching because he's a friend of Pam's?

Oh, look, in the piles on my desk, I found page 3!

And they just cancelled the order.  Of course, they put a pre-authorization charge at PayPal so that money's already gone until that charge falls off in three days.  And that would be the end of Postmates.  Too many alternatives.  I left DoorDash for a similar reason.

[bk]

Ginny, no, he was new to us.

How rude!

I do have one bit of exciting news: my friend Rob Berman is in zoom rehearsals for a new musical.  I don't know who's directing.

That's exciting!  Do you know anything else about the new musical?  Who's writing it?  What's it called??  Inquiring minds want to know!!

I do, but I don't think I should say anything yet.

I'm puzzled;  I was notified that I was getting additional unemplyoment for August from the federal government, but there's no sign of it on my NY Dept. of Labor page.

[elmore3003]

My doctor's office called.  Wednesday's appointment has been moved to next week because their elevator is out.

[Ginny]

Ginny, no, he was new to us.

OK, then, I suspect he was there because of Pam.

Don’t tell Annabelle and Thatch! Goblins!

Same puzzlement here. They only just announced it today, and initial deposits are to be made on the 17th. It’s very confusing, as to who needs to do what, if anything, to make sure they’re getting it. A puzzlement.

Postmates is dead to me.  Cancelled subscription.  They do these temporary authorizations and when they cancel an order they don't do anything about the authorization - they let it fall off automatically, which takes seven days, which means I don't have that money now for seven days, whereas if they simply voided it out immediately the money would be back immediately.  I think this is a class action lawsuit in the making and I will be quite vociferous publicly (starting with tomorrow's notes).  Grubhub has the same deals, same restaurants  and a better points system, so I'll do that, I guess.  Also, the reason for cancellation of order?  Barone's was closed.  Guess what?  Barone's isn't closed.  I could order there right now via Grubhub, simple as pie, but I was so disgusted by all of it that I'm just making Wacky Noodles here and that's that.

Pamela Myers and Beth Malone are the next two on my list of favorites.....from the show.....last night.....that all of the internet is talking about.

Petula Clark - no words......and what a treat TWIGGY!

Be sure to also complain on their FB page.

We’re trying a Trader Joe’s spanakopita for dinner. It’s just not browning.

It could be the funds are being released on another day.  The payments used to be direct deposit with the NY State deposit, except for that one week there was a one-day delay.

LOL!

[elmore3003]

Well, the cats had their treat, and I had chili spaghetti for dinner to finish up the chili I made last week.  I suspect I will be in bed early tonight since I was up far too late last night.  We're beginning Season Three of Jeeves and Wooster tonight.

DR Ginny,  Philip Nuxhall is on Facebook, and our mutual friends include Pam Myers, Brenda Bruck who played flute for The Beggar's Opera in 1979, Ritch Stoops, Bruce Kimmel, Elissa Rosenberg daughter of the Miami U director of theater Donald Rosenberg when I was a grad assistant, Henry Cepluch, and eighteen others.  I have the impression he and Pam may be keeping company.

He's also the son of Joe Nuxhall, late longtime play by play announcer for the Cincinnati Reds.

So, AAUW Middletown is having their first ever virtual branch meeting tonight and I'm taking a guest - Richard.  The speaker is our friend Sam, local historian, giving his wonderful presentation on women's suffrage.  I heard it at a DAR meeting right before things shut down in March.

Bye for now!

I knew that name rang a bell. Saw a lot of Reds games when I lived in the area.

DR Singdaw,

[bk]

Good idea, Jane - didn't even think about a Facebook page for Postmates.  Doing it now.

[bk]

Wacky Noodles made and eaten.  Very good, very filling, and hopefully still around 1000 calories - hard to know but even if it's over it wouldn't be by much.

[Jane]

Good idea, Jane - didn't even think about a Facebook page for Postmates.  Doing it now.

You will find numerous complaints like yours.

[bk]

Where are the complaints?  I can't see a way to actually post on their page?  I messaged them and they asked for my e-mail address.  But where are you looking - link me.

[Jane]

Right under the black box, where one expects to see a photo, there is a comment box.  It seems smaller than usual so you probably missed it.  If that doesn't work "like" the the page and look again for the comment box.

[Jane]

I just did a test run, liked the page & saw a place to post a comment.  Then I unliked the page.

[bk]

I saw them.  They've responded saying the money will be back to me in three days.  Total BS.  I shall not be nice in tomorrow's notes.  They caused this to be a most annoying day.

[bk]

Did a quick run to the mail place to pick up a couple of packages.  No watching tonight, only listening.  Fritz Reiner, a wonderful conductor - all his albums for Columbia in wonderful mono sound and these are recordings for the ages, I must say.
