Sure enough, Hazel was dressed in nylons, heels and fanct dress, make up and hair done and standing on her front steps when I rolled up 10 minutes later.

She was thrilled when she discovered we were sitting on the fourth row aisle

vixmom · « **Reply #102 on:** July 21, 2023, 10:45:22 AM »

Tony Bennett was phenomenol that night.

vixmom · « **Reply #103 on:** July 21, 2023, 10:46:23 AM »

But I still don't know whether I got more enjoyment that night from watching Tony or Hazel.

Had a very nice video chat tonight with a good high school friend that I hadn't caught up with in ages.

That's nice. I could do with a bit of catching up with old friends.

And the word of the day is: AMELiORATE!

This was also the word of the day on March 21, 2017. Nothing wrong with that.

I think it is funny you remember this

Jane · « **Reply #106 on:** July 21, 2023, 11:04:45 AM »

I expect you remembered the word and did a search to find the date

Weddings are really out of control, IMO. The so-called "traditional" touches that folks pay major bucks for really aren't all that traditional.

Same for funerals, sorry to say.

I find all the pre-parties, along with the expense involved of traveling to various locations, just crazy.

Folks on FB are all atwitter and atweet about "Oppenheimer". Some are moaning over its announced length, others are complaining that they don't know what people mean when they say the movie is very long.

To me, it means that it's three hours, as advertised, but that it is intense and can tax a person intellectually, emotionally and physiologically. That tells me there is a lot of content and much of it is disturbing. That can take a lot out of a person.

Does that mean they saw the movie and didn't find it to be long. That certainly is odd they don't know what long means-lol

Who here uses a B&W laser printer at home?

I've got a Brother that's been a great workhorse for several years, and it's time for a new toner cartridge. I've always bought their own brand to minimize any risk of the thing failing. This time I'm looking at the prices, and mine is still hanging in there at nearly $60 -- which is damned pricey in comparison with "compatibles" at half that, or even two-packs that are half that.

Any personal recommendations one way or the other?

Keith has purchased canisters with the non-manufacturer's ink. He said they are a real pain to get them to work properly.

And wait until they encounter the sex, which I am told is fairly graphic.

I only saw Tony Bennett live once - in Las Vegas, front table, on a bill with Michel Legrand.
