vixmom, a delicate subject...

I couldn't help but notice that you haven't mentioned what my cut is to be.

I trust that this is an error of omission arising from your having to rush out the door, lest you be late for work. I completely understand, and there are no hard feelings. But please do clarify when you have a moment?

Well, after my complaints about packing frozen foods yesterday, today's delivery was poorly packaged. They expect frozen foods in a paper bag with no cooling agent to stay frozen in a heatwave? So, at 8:05 I got an email saying my order was delivered. The delivery person never rang the front door bell to be let into the building when he showed up at - get this -7:59, one minute before the delivery window was up. I called Amazon Fresh and threw a fit, and the lady I spole to gave me a credit of $35.00 for the missing package. At 8:45, when I headed to the basement to drop off the litter and recyclables, two Amazon paper bags sat at my door. The jerk delivery person just dropped them off in front of my door and never botherede to ring my bell.

Oh man. Where to begin with these companies and services (or "services")?

An honest and loving tribute to your mother, DR Elmore.

It’s funny, I have a book that came out for the 50th Anniversary of the Warner Bros record label, and it’s the same story. Starts out fun and then too much time is spent on the last 15 years when the execs are bragging about the art of their 360 degree artist package deals and the music became terrible.

These dogs have their tongues out because they're anticipating a huge MegaMillions haul tonight!

Great notes about the supposed infallibility of our memories.

One absurd example of mine involving movies and theaters: Practically since 1977 I firmly recalled a friend and I going to the first morning or noon showing of EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC at the Pantages. I even remembered how we had parked around the corner on the east side of the theater and had walked around the block. And then just a couple of years ago, I had the incontrovertible proof that it played the Pacific. Oops.

I do believe that when I venture out for my mail this morning, I shall hie me hence to the BP gas station to fill up my Nissan Rogue and then buy a Powerball and MegaMillions ticket.

Who knows! I may awaken in the morning to learn that I will be rich as Croesus myself.

Of course, that will create all sorts of problems I wish to avoid, like everyone knowing about it and wanting a piece of it.

Winning is one thing...dealing with the fallout is another.

I believe that his union demanded he not do that, even though he could be in the picture.

I slept extremely well last night. Used my CPAP again (than goodness for open airways).

There were dreams. Oh, yes, there were dreams! Happily, they did not cling to my memories.

My Amazon Echo unit has alerted me to an air quality issue for Johnston today. The AQI is 87 right now. That's a lot higher than yesterday.

Still, it isn't in the same league with those of you experiencing the AQIs in the hundreds and higher.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #43 on:** July 18, 2023, 06:54:16 AM »

Today's high temp is expected to reach 96.

I haven't watched Angels in America in a long while and probably should again soon.

singdaw · « **Reply #45 on:** July 18, 2023, 06:56:48 AM »

Saw the original production on Broadway in the same day (Part 1 as a matinee and Part 2 in the evening). That was a bit overwhelming.

Ron, have you ever been to Beaufort, SC?

No, I haven't. Have wanted to for quite some time.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #48 on:** July 18, 2023, 07:17:09 AM »

One of the things I had hoped to do with my mom before she passed was to drive to the coast and see places we never saw when I was growing up. Beaufort was among those places, and it's very near Savannah GA.

Beaufort is 141 miles from here, so it's extremely doable as a day trip, but I'd really rather spend time exploring. Would like to go back to Folly Beach. As a family, we made a day trip there when I was very young to show my dad's mother the ocean, which she had never seen.

Gallingly, she was unimpressed.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #49 on:** July 18, 2023, 08:03:20 AM »

As a teen in Georgia, I had a friend whose family stayed in the summer on Fripp Island not far from Beaufort, and I tagged along a couple times. Great area.

Maybe she was still miffed about the yellow corn DR RON PULLIAM.

DR ELMORE I hope your day gets better.

Lovely photo of your Mom.

I plan to win the PowerBall tonight - and I feel so lucky, I'm not even going to buy a ticket.

I expect to find one...or maybe given one as a present.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #53 on:** July 18, 2023, 08:27:16 AM »

DR VIXMOM can I have yours?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #54 on:** July 18, 2023, 08:27:36 AM »

DR RON PULLIAM buy two tickets and I'll take the one that wins.

Corn on the cob sounds good.

I do not put butter on my corn.
