There is no water in the building right now. It's been off since noon. Water main break in the neighborhood. Last update was that they're hoping to get water restored by 10pm.

Do you have drinking water available? And just as important, water to pour into the toilet tanks

Good news, for the workers at least, is that it's currently in the 30s and not sub-zero.

While still cold that is far better than sub-zero.

Not a single interruption or distraction so hoo and ray for that. Futzing and finessing took quite a while but I was happy with everything once that was done. Then I just mushed on immediately with new pages. After two hours of that, I made some pasta and ate it and it was good. Then I went right back to writing. Again, because of what the book is, it takes quite a bit to get through one page and especially as I have to stop and research things sometimes. But, happy to save I'm eight pages so far and I need a break right now, but should be able to do seven more during the evening.

I'll answer the Ask BK questions after I sit on the couch like so much fish for a while.

DR Jane - yes and yes, fortunately.

Carole Cook has died. She was 98.

John G. · « **Reply #217 on:** January 11, 2023, 06:22:55 PM »

Any particular favorite memory of her, BK?

Carole Cook.....I remember her first from her episodes of The Lucy Show.....and then of course the Cast LP of 42nd Street.

She was always so much fun when she was on the various television shows - panel, variety, and sitcom.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #220 on:** January 11, 2023, 06:34:37 PM »

I like the story she told of being in summer stock - Lucy had seen her do a show and wanted to talk to her about coming out for her show....the intercom buzzed and the voice said: "Carole Cook telephone....Lucille Ball calling for Carole Cook."

She said she thought it was a joke and it took a few minutes for Lucy to convince her it was a legit call.....

Jrand74 · « **Reply #221 on:** January 11, 2023, 06:35:32 PM »

Wow it's very foggy here already....DENSE FOG WARNING until 9 a.m.

I just saw a recipe for Tomato Cobbler. It sounds weird, but I think it might be really good. Tomato sauce? Biscuits? What's not to like!

I had the same thought as you. But if it’s savory, it might be good.

Starting to watch John Huston’s Wise Blood. Or Jhon Huston, as he appears in the credits.

John G. · « **Reply #229 on:** January 11, 2023, 07:34:31 PM »

I saw this movie when it was first released. I was the only person in the theater. I didn’t know what I was getting into. I didn’t know Flannery O’Connor. I barely knew John Huston. But the movie had earned a four-star review in the paper.

John G. · « **Reply #230 on:** January 11, 2023, 07:35:54 PM »

It blew my mind away. Made me a lifelong fan of Flannery O’Connor and the star, Brad Dourif.

John G. · « **Reply #231 on:** January 11, 2023, 07:38:19 PM »

In the extras, Dourif says Huston originally wanted Tommy Lee Jones for the lead role. When Jones couldn’t do the part, Dourif pounced.

Sorry to hear about Carole - what a life. I always had really fun interactions with her and found her delightful.

Continued GET WELL vibes for DR WFO.

I'm confused, though -- not that that's anything new -- but I thought I remembered him dealing with something, like covid or pneumonia or the flu, back when he first went in after his fall. It seems like that poor DR isn't getting a break.

He had Covid in December, now he has pneumonia. The nurse has said he tested positive for Covid as well.

Geico has won its appeal against the woman who sued them because they didn’t offer her damages for contacting HPV while having sex in a Geico-covered car.

Wait...they had to appeal?! You mean she originally WON???!!!

Yes. She won $5.2 million. She will likely appeal.

That is ludicrous!

vixmom · « **Reply #236 on:** January 11, 2023, 08:02:46 PM »

If her appeal succeeds, however I may have to consider obtaining a social disease in an unconventional, but fully insured location in order to fund my retirement

I would much rather have had pizza for supper than what I ended up having.

Tonight, my friend Shelly asked if I wanted to go to the local Plaza Jalisco for dinner, and I did, so we did.

I had a Burrito Chorizo that also included scrambed eggs and it was quite delish!

George · « **Reply #239 on:** January 11, 2023, 08:04:51 PM »

I deliberately didn't eat it all, so I'll have leftovers tomorrow.
