My cousin sent me a birthday card with a $50 bill inside. So I ordered pizza and mozzarella salad for dinner.

Very nice!

My brother was lighting a pilot light on a furnace in one his renter houses and burned his eyebrows off.

It is best to have a long match for those

Jane · « **Reply #63 on:** September 15, 2020, 02:14:45 PM »

I recall one house, maybe Massachusetts, that we had to keep relighting the furnace.

Jane · « **Reply #64 on:** September 15, 2020, 02:15:44 PM »

I remember having to relight the pilot to the stove in my parent's house.

There was also the gas fireplace in my childhood home. While my parents weren't home my sister insisted I go turn on the gas, first time and not supervised. I burned the front of my hair.

As usual these nights I can smell the smoke. I seem to notice it more when I can't sleep than during the day.

I'm sorry.

Thanks. I am just very grateful not to be inside the fire zones.

Chicken wrap eaten and listening to music.

Annabelle just let me know it's time to close up shop and give her her evening treat. So, before Stella and Thatch begin clamoring for shrimpies and salmon, I'm closing shop.

Hello, everyone.

Jeanne · « **Reply #72 on:** September 15, 2020, 04:20:46 PM »

Thanks for the vibes, DR Jennifer.

Jeanne · « **Reply #73 on:** September 15, 2020, 04:21:56 PM »

Jane, re your question last night, yes, thanks, I'm improving and getting stronger. Tomorrow is my post-op.

Jeanne · « **Reply #74 on:** September 15, 2020, 04:22:20 PM »

Bruce, I'm glad you got your money back.

Jeanne · « **Reply #75 on:** September 15, 2020, 04:23:39 PM »

I've seen many companies "say" they'll refund you, but they never do, and people forget about it or just don't have time to go after small amounts. It's not right.

Last week I contacted a personal shopper to help with groceries. He didn't get back to me until today, but seemed quite willing, so I gave it a try. I emailed him a list of things I needed from Trader Joe's and we found a time that was convenient to us both. He shopped, cellphone in hand, alerting me to shortages or changes and asking if I wanted to substitute. Then he delivered it to my door. Very convenient. For his time and trouble he gets 20% + an optional tip. It worked out well today. Some of the items are heavy and I would have a difficult time with them. I hope to use him again.

Some companies try to be 100% automated. I think that was Amazon's original intent. It doesn't work, IMO. Some things work fine, but not everything does. You need to have an avenue for human intervention.

When I was in Padua, Italy, I stayed at a little pensione. No hot water in the shower. I took very quick showers, standing apart from the stream of water. I survived. But when it came to washing my hair I opted to go to a local hair salon, where they did indeed have hot water.

Hot water vibes to Bruce!

TTFN.

Hot water is once again hot - took about three hours. Still listening to music and am not feeling good about much right now, but this too shall pass and pass quickly, I hope.

So, I posted our show to the Finishing the Chat Facebook group - Sondheim fanatics - anything Sondheim they post it and people RAVE about it all no matter how lame. Other than a couple of thumbs up likes, not ONE person has commented on Pamela Myers or the Yiddish Sondheim or Losing My Mind. This tells me that there is some kind of disconnect going on and I cannot figure out what it is.

Tuesday evening greetings! I don't know where today went, except for the hour or so I spent on FaceTime with my friend Rebecca. Her husband is about to be released from post-op rehab after hip replacement surgery. She has her work cut out for her...

While nowhere near as bad as what the west coast is experiencing, the Ohio Valley now has hazy skies that are being attributed to the fires out west.

Super vibes he continues to work out as this sounds like an excellent situation for you. Did he deliver the goods inside your place so you didn't have to lift or bend?

Smart move to go to a hair salon. Did they also have the wonderful European shampoo sinks few places have here?

Yes DR JANE.....however it is brutal when you reconnect with someone who was a working actor mostly because he was young and thin and really cute.....twenty five years later.

I never got an acting job because I had any of those qualities.....even if I at one time possessed any of them.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #88 on:** September 15, 2020, 05:33:38 PM »

MR BK jealousy is a terrible thing - and I have found that the people who are most nonplussed by folks who actually DO things....are people who NEVER do things themselves. They can't bring themselves to realize that it takes talent and effort to accomplish something.....

And I do not think of posting a comment anywhere as any type of accomplishment - although some believe it is a full time job.

Also - if they didn't discover it - it doesn't exist.

DR GINNY yes the hazy skies are making my airplane watching difficult these days.
