Quote from: Matthew on July 28, 2023, 12:54:09 PMGood to see everyone here. Everything is good here. Opening a production of Bright Star next Friday. Love this little show - it's definitely a blue-grass Lifetime Drama. Our cast is great - our band of 5 (keys, banjo, fiddle, guitar and bass) is perfect for our small space. Looking forward to the work this next week to get it in shape for an audience. I love Bright Star! I saw it maybe six times, thanks to Rob Berman's generosity. You're not playing accordion?

I wonder about folks - like construction workers, road workers, even postal workers - who have to work outside when conditions are like this. It seems inhumane.
They die. And the Texas governor takes away their water breaks.
DR John G, I’m glad to hear you received mail from me yesterday!

I used to ask for them without salt as a way to have them made fresh.

I love Bright Star! I saw it maybe six times, thanks to Rob Berman's generosity. You're not playing accordion?That's a really good question. I could on one song, but there's a lot of switching back and forth because I'm covering 2 keys book - the second book is really just accordion, autoharp and a little celeste, so it's easily combined. I am still considering live accordion for a few songs, we'll see :-)
It looks like my contribution will be $17.
I personally avoid reunions like the plague.
Speaking of Cheer, has anyone here tried the new laundry detergent sheets?
I am intrigued. If they work, it sure would be better than sending all those huge plastic jugs to landfills. We recycle them, but I wonder.

Of course, I haven't tried to find out, but I really can't imagine any legitimate reason for doing that.
Quote from: Jane on July 28, 2023, 04:26:25 PMI used to ask for them without salt as a way to have them made fresh.I've read several articles/comments about workers asking people not to do this. It's really a big hassle for them to clean out the equipment so that no salt is there, when you can just ask for fresh fries to be made. They will (should) easily do that for someone and it doesn't make things more difficult for them.

And they clean my clothes well enough for me.

Another dream was one in which I was "employed" and working in some sort of factory with multiple divisions and buildings. I knew I wanted to work at one building, was curious about what they did in the division that worked there and asked my supervisor if he knew of any openings in that division.He replied that they are never any openings there, but that they watch all of us and select who they want. I wondered how they did that.The next thing I knew, I was asked to report to a room nearby for an interview. I hoped it was because I had asked about openings in the mystery division.I sat and waited. My thoughts ran wild. I kept getting ideas about how I would answer diverse questions. After an hour, I was told I should return to my work center.Miffed! Why had I been sent for this so-called interview? And why did it not take place?Back at work, my co-workers looked at me rather strangely. I guessed it was because they wondered what my absence had been about. Maybe they knew I was not even talked to.My supervisor came by and said, "You did very well in your interview." I stopped short of denying any such interview took place. He looked at me oddly and said, "What did they ask you?"I told him that I never met anyone and wasn't interviewed at all."That's funny! They said you were the best interviewee in years".I woke up, and still wonder what the hell!!!
