Well, you've read the notes, the notes were nauseating, and now it is time for you to post until the nauseous cows come home.

And the word of the day is: VATICINATE!

[TCB]

George is at HAMILTON in Seattle.  He has been reminding us for several days.

[elmore3003]

Good morning, all!

[elmore3003]

Another poor night of sleep with too many aches and pains.

[elmore3003]

But I survived, and all the cats ate this morning, so why complain?

[elmore3003]

Today I'm working on the overture; the sketch is about half finished. In the section I'm working on, the printed copy pf the song goes thropugh G-flat, E-flat, and C-major in its meanderings, and I need it in A-major, which means I'm dealing with A, F-sharp, and E-flat. The transpositions are driving me  crazy!

This morning I need to print out a statement and pay a bill so I can post it tomorrow.

This morning I need to print out a statement and pay a bill so I can post it tomorrow.

I pay all my bills by phone or autopay these days. The current head of usps has screwed things up so sufficiently that I can’t count on anything get anywhere on time, assuming it gets there at all.

Yet another thing destroyed by the the orange menace

[John G.]

Good morning, all.

[John G.]

Nine hours of sleep.

[John G.]

Elmore, my sympathies on the loss of your friend.

I pay most with my debit card, but there are a couple I prefer to mail in, simply because my Social Security pays on the third Wednesday of the month, as soon as the 15th or as late as the 21st. That's hell for autopay.

Last Saturday, Aug. 6, I ordered two 20-lb cartons of litter from Petco. UPS tracking info told me on Thursday that the cartons had been sitting and waiting for shipmemt since Monday. This is lousy customer service.

So, I asked the young lady I was speakng to to cancel the order. She claimed it couldn't be done.

Last night I checked the UPS tracking: still waiting to be picked up. I called Petco, spoke to a nice man named Ryan, who canceled the order and issued credit. By the time I finished with Custoemr Service, Paypal had notified me thewy had a credit for me from Petco.

I will never order from them again.

[ChasSmith]

Good morning, all.

[ChasSmith]

The length of time it takes companies to acknowledge and finally cancel things like the Petco-UPS mess is unforgivable. I hope you do better with Chewy or whoever is getting the business now.

On top of that BS, of course, the cat food shortages have become a “normal” thing, as have the continually rising prices on what IS on the shelves.

I really like this statement of Biden’s on the Salman Rushdie stabbing:

“Salman Rushdie — with his insight into humanity, with his unmatched sense for story, with his refusal to be intimidated or silenced — stands for essential, universal ideals. Truth. Courage. Resilience. The ability to share ideas without fear. These are the building blocks of any free and open society. And today, we reaffirm our commitment to those deeply American values in solidarity with Rushdie and all those who stand for freedom of expression.”

BK:  The Taco Bell box was a “party pack” of 12 crunchy taco supremes for $26.99 + tax, bought directly at TB. It was split evenly between the three of us here, so, 4 tacos @ $9+ each.

It wasn’t too many years ago that a box of 12 tacos was $12.00.

And I will forever remember that on my first visits to a TB, I bragged that I could eat a meal for a dollar or just over. That included a burrito, a taco, and a drink. This of course was in the late ‘70s, and I liked sitting at the outdoor tables in front of the then-mission-style store that was on W. Third or Beverly Blvd., I always forget which.

(EDIT:  See later post for more detail on current pricing. Oy!)

Good morning.

[Laura]

Elmore, I am sorry about the loss of another friend.

[Laura]

Today the youth are putting on a spaghetti dinner to raise money to replenish the youth fund for the next batch of kids going to the youth conference.

I am helping them with this. I hope some of them show up.

I made dessert. I also bought that broccoli and lettuce in bulk for salads. I will have them make breadsticks while we are setting up.

[Laura]

I haven't seen the kids since they got home Wednesday morning. I hope they come to church today.

[Laura]

That seems like a really long time ago.

[Laura]

John -- you are a baker, right?

I have seen breadstick recipes using the same ingredients, pretty much. Directions range from letting the dough raise the first time anywhere from 10 minutes to 90 minutes. What's up with that? What is the difference in the final outcome?
