I never met a gluten I didn't like.

I’m listening to Jacques Pepin’s The Art of the Chicken. This morning, he described baking an entire chicken in bread dough. Sounds promising. And carby.

I love that song. I love that whole score.

When I met Mildred Natwick, I asked her, where does an elephant go? She laughed. I loved her.

DR George I expect you were relieved to be able to move your car, without assistance.

Definitely!

Access-a-Ride was a disaster. It cost $35.00 and a 45 minute tax ride to get to my appointment. The Access-a-Ride trip bacxk took an hour becase of traffic. But it only cost me $2.75.

Yikes!! :o

Mabel Pritchard in At Long Last Love! She probably wouldn’t have appreciated that reference quite as much.

Joshie decided I should go home instead of to City Center and he would come to me to pick up the score. While he was here, we were talking about Dear World, and when I told him the dance arrangements for the show were by Dorothea Freitag - she's Lorraine on the cast recording of 70 Girls 70 - Joshie said, wasn't she involved in a murder? That rang a bell, so we started snooping on Google. Well, there's a book about it.

I would think you try to avoid those carbs ;)

Spent a lot of time on the phone with godaddy, trying to straighten out all of the outdated contact information they have on file. It's taken a WEEK, but I believe it's all fine how. The issue was back when they were actually hosting us (we left because of their reprehensible behavior) - we had so many issues that I had to put Doug Haverty on the account to deal with them, since he was dealing with the site by that point. So, all e-mails have been going to him - especially the renewal notices. So, I went to log in last week - my log-in info is all saved in the keychain - but it wouldn't let me - new security BS - they send a code and you have to enter it. Code supposedly went to Doug, who never got it. But my name and address is clearly on the account so what's the issue?

Old phone number, too. So, I called and they told me I had to scan my driver's license and send to their team and that it would take a few days to get me on. I did as I was asked.

A full WEEK later, I get an email saying the license wasn't enough and that I had to take a selfie with my face AND the license in the shot. I did so, but also wrote them a scathing reply, saying they had no right to do this when my name and address is on the account and my password and username clearly work and that I can't get on to get rid of these old email things and phone numbers. I told them either was able to log-in within twenty-four hours or they'd be hearing from my attorney.

I couldn't see how to edit anything, so I called again - mind you, their contact number no longer appears anywhere on the site, which is also not really legal - you have to get it via Google - I got some guy who clearly didn't know what he was doing, who kept putting me on hold, and then finally said he'd send me an article on how to edit things - I told him no, I didn't want an article, thanked him for wasting twenty minutes of my time, and told him to get me a supervisor. I was put on hold for fifteen minutes.

I called back and eight minutes later got a nice gal on the phone, who told me exactly what to do to edit, we did it together, Doug's info is now gone, my old number is gone, and I'm the only one listed on the account now and all contact info is up-to-date.

I haven't been in the mood to update commentary or finish choosing songs - I'll do that in a bit but I'm going to sit on my couch like so much fish.
