Remember when we got excited because the TV had a great big 12 inch (when measured diagonally) screen?

My boss called me into his office today and handed me an envelope for going to work yesterday, I protested saying I was already paid for coming to work and he replied 5bat he thought it was unfair that I was the only one who showed up and he just wanted to show his appreciation for my dedication.

That is super nice. Was it a gift card or bonus pay? I am not asking how much as anything was more than he needed to do.

It is heartwarming to know you have this kind boss after all you suffered with the last job.

Until later.

I like the flamingo tree. I'd put that up in my yard.

Me, too.

I just made a multiberry chess pie and the aroma is intoxicating. Looks good, too.

Is Gramophone just online now or still an actual magazine.

It's still very much a physical magazine, as well as the online archive. The USA edition has an 8 page supplement just for us.

I am glad you are appreciated, DR vixmom.

Friday evening greetings! Our mission for today was to consolidate the 3 boxes of gifts for Rob’s family that were sent here because ours was the default address attached to Mary Linda’s Amazon wish list. We were able to get everything into the biggest box, which we sealed up and addressed to them in Illinois. Took it to the Monroe post office because the one here in Middletown is a total zoo and I was in and out in about 10 minutes. They might have presents from her brother by Christmas - or not.

We also have all but one box of ornaments on our tree. Richard unpacks them and I hang them. We’ll finish tomorrow while watching Ohio State v. Northwestern - Go, Wildcats!

Oops. It is good you could forward them on. Yes, hopefully they will arrive in time.

Tonight we re-watched The Abominable Dr. Phibes, with Vincent Price.

What a camp fest!

The state's Open Enrollment for 2021 health insurance ends Tuesday at midnight.

I will be working all day tomorrow.

Zoom session was great - project one is going to work splendidly, I think. I will only say, at this point, it involves three people - two adults, one kid. We'll have one more session on Tuesday, then right after the holidays we'll begin the real work. Yes, it's something that involves filming.

Very nice, DR George.

And how does it smell?

Fortunately, it just has an old book smell, not really musty at all, and certainly not a moldy smell!

When I had my old newspaper collection, my mom’s cousin sent me the ones she had saved for my collection. She lived in Hawaii and the newspapers got stored with moth balls. The newspapers never lost the moth ball smell, but I found if I sprinkled Hai Karate on them it helped.

TCB · « **Reply #148 on:** December 18, 2020, 11:22:09 PM »

Actually the Hai Karate smell was so strong, that it made you appreciate the moth ball smell.
