DR JANE - do you remember Poor Pitiful Pearl?

Thankfully I do not remember this ugly, pitiful looking doll

I found the pots I wanted at a price I was willing to pay.

Congrats on your find

Monday morning greetings! Richard has an eye exam today and, while I have to go along to drive him home, I’m not allowed inside the office. What a weird world.

I feel very uncomfortable getting an eye exam and have put off my two month check wanted to get vaccinated first. If it doesn't happen soon I will have to get my eyes checked again.

I haven't wanted to get an eye-check either, though I told my diabetes doctor I would before I see her again. And my appointment for that is two weeks from now.

I don't blame you and I have been going every couple of months since covid $:-\$

George & TCB we went to https://form.findyourphasewa.org/ to find out we are eligible for the vaccine. You might want to check it out. Supposedly you get a text when you can get the shot.

We need photographic evidence of the pots of DR JOHN G.

I like this idea.

I don't know how to upload a photo from my phone.

John G. · « **Reply #69 on:** January 18, 2021, 02:29:35 PM »

Can someone help me?

singdaw · « **Reply #70 on:** January 18, 2021, 03:00:39 PM »

You could email it to yourself (from your phone) and then save it to your desktop.

Jane · « **Reply #71 on:** January 18, 2021, 03:31:44 PM »

Though most of the time when I do that the file is too large.

We just watched RESISTANCE, an excellent 2020 movie about revered mime Marcel Marceau's tragic experiences during WW2.

Although I could follow the plot, I was unable to hear about 1/3 of the dialogue, primarily because the sound and sound mixing was terrible.

Indeed, this seems to be an issue with many theatrical movies produced during the past few years. We can hear television program and older pictures fine, but theatrical movies are a definite problem.

Perhaps Hollywood should re-examine their sound departments?

I can't think of a worse choice to play Marceau than Jesse Eisenberg.

I futzed and finessed for a whopping two hours - tons of adjustments, additions, subtractions, and moving stuff around, as well as smoothing everything out. Then I wrote a new page. Went and picked up a package - line out the door, all Amazon returns, but they brought me my package and I didn't have to wait.

bk · « **Reply #75 on:** January 18, 2021, 04:00:40 PM »

Came home, made tuna sandwiches on bagels and ate those, and am now back to writing - three pages so far. We'll see how many are left, but not THAT many.

I am sure we will watch with subtitles which is a shame. I am looking forward to seeing the movie.

I was wondering about that.

Jane · « **Reply #78 on:** January 18, 2021, 04:31:48 PM »

Shouldn't the actor also be younger?

Jane · « **Reply #79 on:** January 18, 2021, 04:41:58 PM »

Washington State just dropped to age 65 and older. It is going to be crazy

The governor said we are now ready to move to Phase 1B on the vaccination schedule, and that the vaccination phase is changing immediately to include those who are 65 and older.

I do believe I have just finished my twenty-first book. I'm sure there will be a good deal of futzing and finessing tomorrow, and I'll probably really finesse the final two paragraphs, but I've finished it. Whew!

Ordered some Fried Chicken from a local restaurant that has great fried chicken. Nice way to end a beautiful 3-day weekend

Very good news, bk. Congratulations!

Can't wait to hold it and read it.
