Thursday after the time change, and I'm still getting up earlier than before. I guess that's not a bad thing.

Yesterday I spent around two hours dealing with NY State SNAP program in an effort to learn how to use the card. Amazon acceptred the card number, but I had no idea how to create a PIN.

I called the NYC number given on the SNAP website several times. At first it was busy for several tries/ Then I finally got a recording asking me to hold; I was first in line. I waited around fifteen minutes, then someone picked up the line and hung up. When I called back, I got the message "The mailbox is full. Please call back later." I sent the SBA{ [rpgram an email telling them I did not appreciate the dumbass whose phoe number it was.

My vaccinations are at 11:30 this morning. I'll go to Shop Rite to pick up a few things afterward, then enjoy the rest of the day at home, probably working on some music.

Rain is forecast for pretty much all day tomorrow and Saturday. I'm guessing that's from the hurricane?

After several more frustrating readings of the program's website, I called Amazon Customer Service. I spoke to a nice young man named Nathan who lives in Washington. I explained that Amazon kept rejecting my attempts to provide a PIN. He said he was on the Washington Food Stamps program, and he had needed to register hsi card and create a PIN. He put me on hold and then returned with an 888 area code phone number for the New York State Food Stamps program.

Congrats on achieving success with the card, DR Elmore!

I called them and after givng an automated voice my card info, Social Security number, and date of birth, I finally got a live person, a wonderful lady named Laura who heard my woes and then said, "Oh, that's easy to fix." She told me she would transfer me but she also gave me instructions on what to do if we got disconnected and I had to call back. Then she asked if she could do anything else for me and I said, will you marry me? She laughed, told me she wasa honored but already married and transferred me. Ten minutes later my EBT card was registered, active, and it had a new PIN. I put all this info and phone number into TextEdit and added it to my fikle on NY SNAP folder.

For my original Covid shots and three boosters I had no reaction. On the last one, I was puny for two days after. I hope yours goes well today.

Thank you. I deliberately planned being free of obligations till Sunday.

This will actually be only my second booster, and it's the "updated" one. Hard to believe, but it's been a whole year since my first. I didn't get one earlier this year due to actually catching the plague.

Good morning.

Kerry passed away. MusicGuy was his partner for a number of years.

Laura · « **Reply #42 on:** November 10, 2022, 04:57:13 AM »

I met Kerry here on this site. I asked him on a date to the theater, which he declined.

Laura · « **Reply #43 on:** November 10, 2022, 04:58:32 AM »

I had an extra ticket to a show, but he worked Saturdays and couldn't go.

We decided to meet in person, and when we did, we spent hours talking, like we had known each other for years.

Yesterday I got antibiotics for the sinus infection I developed from the cold. I am traveling this weekend, so I hope it kicks in quickly.

I turned the AC on last night. It’s supposed to drop 30 degrees tomorrow night.

Or Oklahoma!

It was warm again here last night. As the building's A/C was shut off long ago, it made for uncomfortable sleeping weather.

I wonder when the "!" trend started. If Oklahoma! had it, then it was pre-David Merrick.

DR Ginny, does the town of Hamilton near you still carry an exclamation point? It was Hamilton!, at least for a while.

Whom I would have though would have been a likely suspect.

John G. · « **Reply #58 on:** November 10, 2022, 05:47:25 AM »

The original title of Oklahoma! was Away We Go!, also with an exclamation point!

And now we've probably exhausted our yearly quota of them.
