No good can come from swallowing 12 of anything. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

Except perhaps potato chips.

We have arrived at TH3EE, incidentally.

What is the distinction between a goblin and a hobgoblin? That's what I'd like to know.

I wonder if it's like the distinction between flammable and inflammable.

Last night we watched:

THE BEST MAN
THE GREAT McGINTY

Tonight?

?

Yesterday, I finished the first draft of Act I of the next play in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS series.

Today, maybe I'll start Act II.

Looking forward to next Wednesday.

No more political ads on TV.

My arm was sore after the shingles shot. But it was the achiness and fatigue that I felt mostly. It wasn't really bad, but I'm glad I didn't have to go to work. I just felt crummy.

I had a hard time waking up this morning. I’m thinking it was the shot.

12 ounces of beer. That’s just for breakfast.

TOD:

If I get the VCR hooked up, I have a three-hour French movie called By the Grace of God about victims of priest sexual abuse. I also have Jean Gabin as Maigret, which I think was inspired casting.

The sound stopped working on the TV yesterday. The DH got out his tools and took the dang thing apart, with me fretting in the background that it was ruined and would never go together again.

Well, darned if, once re-assembled, the thing worked again! It must have been that the circuit board just needed a little jostling.

Color me impressed.

I'm impressed, too!

Goblins eat little kittens who should be home in bed. Hobgoblins is short for Hobo Goblins, AKA unemployed goblins.

It is so damned hot in this apartment that I turned on the AC. I called Jeff the super and asked if he knew who the person was who complained to the NY Housing Authority about no heat. He wouldn't tell me, but when I asked if it was Judy, my wonderful but truly neurotic neighbor, he confirmed it. I had suspected it was she because there have been too many times in the past 20+ years she's called or come by to ask if I have heat in my apartment. Jeff said she called him last week and said it was 40 degrees in her apartment when the outside temperature was 56 degrees F!

elmore3003 · « **Reply #76 on:** October 30, 2020, 09:24:06 AM »

So, Jeff said he would go to the basement and turn off the heat. In the past, it's usually been on only in the mornings from around 5:00am to 9:00 or so, and then from around 4:00pm to 11:00 and that suits me just fine. I prefer to sleep in a cold room.

Why is your VCR disconnected? There's a wonderful Canadian movie about priest sexual abuse called The Boys of St Vincent.

When it comes to 10, though, remember when the Big Thing was (wait for it)

Bo Derek?

And white women with cornrows?

I had those in Jamaica. We went there with Keith's company for a conference where spouses were invited. If you had enough hair to put in a cornrow local women would grab it and try to force you to pay them to put it into cornrows. To avoid grubby hands we all ended up going to the nice clean hotel salon and having cornrows put in. Considering what the humidity was doing to our hair the cornrows were an improvement, and soooo easy. We washed our hair with them in and if any beads fell out the salon fixed them for free. Not really free if you tipped

I am sure I would have looked better had I been a few years younger. Keith loved them. When we returned home, me still in my cornrows, the kids about died of embarrassment.

We’re getting a bit of snow — YES! SNOW!! — mixed in with the rain here. God willing, it won’t be enough to cause tree branches to start coming down since most of the leaves are still on the trees. And also that the precip will have stopped well before tonight when it goes down to freezing. Otherwise, in the worst possible case, this could end up being the third Halloween disaster in the past nine years — the other two being the Nor’easter in 2011 and Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Talk about a double whammy. That’s what precipitated my getting the generator.

I hope it isn't that bad.

Does anyone use oven liners? I had no idea they existed until I read that you need to check the brand. One company has issued a warning and announced a recall of their oven liners due to potential carbon monoxide poisoning.

I told you my brain was foggy. DVD. Everything was disconnected while the work was done repairing the wall.

Fire in Harlem. There's video of the apartment cat leaping from a 2nd storey window.
