A day of waiting. Too many folks out today.

The line at Costco for gas is endless.

DR George, I thought you had already bought a car! Didn't you post pictures of it?

That was the Subaru Impreza. I didn't buy that one. I was just given information about it, but that dealer hasn't responded to any of my questions, so I don't think it's happening.

Angry and sad for our country.

Ditto and Ditto!

Jrand, I'm so sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family.

The gas at Costco has dropped to $2.65 a gallon. Here's hoping it continues to drop after Thanksgiving.

John G. · « **Reply #38 on:** November 20, 2021, 11:43:33 AM »

I managed to get through a few stores without spending too much.

John G. · « **Reply #39 on:** November 20, 2021, 11:43:56 AM »

Costco was crazy. At home was crazy. Walmart was crazy.

After I came in from my outing, I took off my shoes, read yesterday's mail, paid a bill, and then had a lie-down for several hours. To my complete surprise, Thatch climbed into my lap, lay down and napped for over an hour. DR Laura's prophecy from four years ago, just about this time when I feared things with Thatch would never work out, has come true.

I'm in line to get the last oil change for my Escort. Someone ahead of me is getting some other kind of servicing, so it'll be about another 10 minutes. behind me.

George · « **Reply #42 on:** November 20, 2021, 11:58:01 AM »

I was going to leave and come back later, but then someone else just got right behind me, so I'm stuck.

Good boy, Thatch.

Back to The Damned. Game of Thrones has got nothing on this.

John G. · « **Reply #46 on:** November 20, 2021, 12:13:56 PM »

And it's good to see Ingrid Thulin with a great role, a real Lady MacBeth. I don't remember seeing her in anything other than Ingmar Bergman's movies.

John G. · « **Reply #47 on:** November 20, 2021, 12:33:53 PM »

Maurice Jarre's score for The Damned is beautiful. But why is a Viennese waltz so appropriate to signify death?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #48 on:** November 20, 2021, 12:42:24 PM »

Ingrid Thulin is in THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE with Mr Glenn Ford - but her voice belongs to Angela Lansbury. It is most disconcerting from the start.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #49 on:** November 20, 2021, 12:42:56 PM »

Thanks everyone.

Yes, my uncle got to the hospice place last night and last than thirty minutes later he was gone.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #50 on:** November 20, 2021, 12:44:45 PM »

My sister and I just finished the consultation with the Fun Home director.

Everything is set as our uncle wanted it.

So....I am sure we forgot something & someone - but we will just have to see what happens.

Visitation/service on Wednesday morning - then a trip out to the cemetery for a brief moment....he is going into a crypt instead of the ground, and they don't do that while you're there.

SO there you are.

All of this talk about DR GEORGE and his car.

What everyone really wants to know is: Did you get the chicken house fixed?!!!

Because it worked for Ravel?

Have you ever seen Balanchine's fantastic, macabre ballet about Death and the Maiden, La Valse, using two Ravel waltz suites, La Valse and Valse Nobles et Sentimentales?

WOW!
These cats are amazing.

It just works too well for anyone.

Starting the new miniseries based on The Stand.

John G. · « **Reply #58 on:** November 20, 2021, 01:53:29 PM »

Hope it's closer than the first one, which I really enjoyed because of the actors, but not really because of the script.

John G. · « **Reply #59 on:** November 20, 2021, 01:53:54 PM »

And too much was edited for commercial TV.
