Last night DR George mentioned Dianna Reeves. I used to work with her brother in Arlington, VA. She and her band performed at the company Christmas party. They weren't young, but they were still very good.

DR Jeanne, in my 40 years in this apartment, we had the following supers:
Mr Gonzalez, who was here when I moved in, a really wonderful man; he was older and lived wth his wife on the first floor; their daughter and grandson lived on the fifth floor.
Alban Greenwich, from one of the Caribbean islands; lived with his wife and children; his wife was an excellent cook; they left to go back to the Caribbean and open a B&B; Alban was a good super for a while, then he stopped caring long before he left.
Steve Trifun, one of the absolute best, took over in early 1999; RIP, Steve.
Bosko, his son-in-law, sacked in 2016/
Val, absolute best, Aug. 2016-July 2018.
? ? ?, didn't last long; I cannot even remember his name.
Jeff, our current.

I think every apartment building should have a super. I live in a small (9units) building that is managed by the owner's daughter. They would benefit by having someone who knows what they're doing.

About my refrigerator: I called Jeff, who contacted the service company. The landlord was only involved once the service man declared the fridge terminal.

Yes, but you have a super to do that. Here, we have the blind leading the blind, with many poor decisions and unnecessary inconvenience to the tenants.

I do not have the intestinal fortitude to watch tonight's "debate."

I don't, either, but I would like to see the 60 MINUTES interview with the president and Lesley Stahl. It airs on Sunday, but I'm told it's already been posted on Facebook.

I think we could all use some of that now.

I just toasted a bagel (GF pumpkin bagel from TJ's) in the air fryer.  5 minutes and perfection.  I swear, this Ninja-Foodi can do anything!   

I didn't know TJ's had GF bagels. I'll have to check that out!

Does the daughter live in the building?  If not a super, which would be best, a manager that gets people out quickly to fix things would be nice.

From your earlier comment it seems the daughter is useless.

Yes, she lives in the building, which I see as a big advantage, but doesn't always appreciate when things need attention, IMO. Had she been a homeowner for a few years she'd be far more knowledgable.

Not exactly.  The White House released their version of the interview, which was "taken from a White House camera in the room for archival purposes." ::)

I think a lot of people that might not have watched will now tune into the show now to find out what really happened.

DR Jeanne - yes, these were the pumpkin ones, but I believe they have normal ones all year round

DR TCB, Topaz is indeed a cutie! After much consideration, I have decided I will try to adopt little Lenox.  He's so cute, but Annabelle, Thatch, and Stella give me ERKS (Excessive Romping Kitty Syndrome).

Good luck, Larry! 

This must be a Freudian slip! I meant to type that I would not try to adopt Lennox.

I'm glad to hear this. You are struggling with Stella now. I can't imagine adding another kitten.
