How can that happen??    

Have you heard the story about the princess and the pea?     

No, but I heard the one about the doctor's wife who ate apples.

Probably his dental phobia, which led to the need to extract four teeth, made everything so much worse.

Likely, however, teeth do break.  I broke one on a grain of rice.

How can that happen??

I wondered the same. Since then I have read it is not uncommon.

From the time my father read me the story I knew that was me.  It wasn't until I was older that I realized being this princess was not fun & I no longer wanted to be a princess.

That trip to the post box did me in.  As soon as I wash my dishes and the cats' I am lying down and doping as little as possible.

Just don’t overdose.

A friend just had to evacuate due to the Santiago/Silverado Canyon fire in Orange County, CA

Oh no. This is some shocking news:

New York’s Longest Running Actor’s Equity Theatre,  Westchester Broadway Theatre, Takes It’s [sic] Final Bow

For those who don't know, it was an extremely popular and successful dinner theater located near White Plains, NY.

I've never heard of them, but that really sad.

Ahh.

Yikes!

[singdaw]

Oh no, DR Jane!   Such sad stories from all over the west coast.

[Laura]

So sorry to hear about Jane's friends.

Re yesterday's discussion about deviled eggs: Sometimes I substitute cream cheese for the mayo. Sometimes avocado.

In fact, I often substitute mashed avocado for mayo on sandwich bread and in the filling.

[Jane]

Thanks George, Singdaw, & Laura.

[Jane]

Fingers crossed she has a home to return to.

Vibes for them.

I’m too scattered lately. How could I forget Dangerous Liaisons? Perfect adaptation of the book.

So I did a test run of my presentation. It worked very well, except that the YouTube videos I had embedded were playing but the tester couldn't hear the audio from the videos.


Turns out it was a simple solution: you have to click "share computer audio."  Who knew?


I have to say, everyone is on a learning curve with COVID. We're all trying. And that is what amazes me so much about the Kritzerland presentations. Complicated stuff, done so seamlessly. I was going to say "effortlessly," but I know that there has to be so much hard work going on behind the scenes.

I LOVE avocados and I've heard about using them for such things before, but I've never given any of them a try. Must change my ways and do that.

DR Jennifer, I really like your food ideas.

[Jennifer]

DR Jennifer I missed the part that your knew Kindle is an Oasis.  I am excited for you.  Congratulations.

Thanks. My other kindle (which still works although slower) is like 10 years old. And I use it every day. So it's quite exciting. It took me a bit to get used to all of the new features (as it is very different from my older one). The main thing that confused me was when to use the page turns, vs tapping, vs swiping.  And there was one feature (where to find my notes) that took me a week until i figured it out perfectly.

  I get that.  I still don't use "notes" on my tablet.

I highlight and take notes as I"m reading. It makes it so much easier to write reviews.  I love the notes feature.

Hither, thither, and yon makes me think of Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.

So many great names for law firms!

Jane, you said you didn’t much care for Beach Read. I’m an hour in and am rather irritated. I can easily move on to something else or listen to the last 90 minutes or so. Suggestions? Anyone else read it?

It seems you like it less than I did.  I suggest jumping to the end or simply moving on to something better.

If you're talking about Beach Read by Emily Henry then I have read it.  Most people love this book.  To me it was just okay. But I think that part of it is that I read it in March (right when quarantine started).  I was looking for a light fun romance, something to make me feel good and make me happy. And to me this book was not that at all.

Mostly I recall being somewhat bored.  It certainly isn't your typical light fun romance story.

I feel like the title and the cover are misleading.  It's supposed to be a rom com. To me that is crazy, as I don't consider it a light rom com at all.

Or diddle, diddle dumpling, my son John.

[John G.]

Or maybe I just want dumplings.
