I was told I could add money to the account by going to Rite-Aid with cash. So, I went to the bank and cashed my check, then to Rite-Aid. That was its own ordeal because when you put your card in you get about twenty choices of which thing to use to add the cash - I had to call PayPal again and made her talk to the cashier and it turned out the selection was Green Dot. Well, why don't they put that information on the damn card or even on their site? That's been my entire morning.

The declined payment was for Spectrum, so I had to call them, make the payment and set up auto pay all over again.

[bk]

There's more but I'm too tired to even talk about it at this point.

[bk]

Waiting for my person at the publisher to call me.

I could also give up candy.  I could.

I tell myself after every piece I eat.

But that isn't done very often, so...

Amen.

[John G.]

SNAFU un-snafu-ing vibes for BK.

[John G.]

I should give up wheat and grain, but that would mean no cookies, no cake, no pie.

[John G.]

And I have my pie-orities.

[John G.]

I could not give up fruits or vegetables entirely.

[John G.]

I could not give up butter or ice cream.

[John G.]

I could cut back on meat. But not eliminate it.

[George]

I should give up wheat and grain, but that would mean no cookies, no cake, no pie.

I feel your pain, John.

[George]

Oh, my goodness, BK!  What an ordeal!

From DR Jeanne,

I read that Richard Osman has the first book of a new series coming out next year. The TMC books are being made into movies, which may start production as early as this December, with a release date about a year later. Osman says there will be more TMC books. You can tell he really loves those characters ( as do many of us).

I read younger actors will be casts in the rolls and aged up, meaning we won't have Judi Dench.

From Vixmom:

They have this lovely new returns policy whereby  you bring your items to a local Kohls or other participating retailer, show them your return code on your phone , and they take the items, back and return them to Amazon

Great idea, and you might be enticed to shop-very clever.

[Jane]

I have not been to a Kohls in years.

DR Rodzinski I hope your house call went well.

[Jane]

From Rodzinski:

Now my Uncle John is getting hospice treatment at his house. The family gets smaller. John married my dad’s sister. They’ve been sweethearts since they were about 12. No joke. Coincidentally, my mother knew John since 2nd grade. John once had the largest paper route in Hammond, Ind.

I'm sorry.  John truly must have been family and not just an in-law. 

[Jane]

Water came back on in the middle of the night.

Excellent.

[Jane]

DR Jeanne is right. In the author's note at the end of the current book (which I just finished last night), Richard Osman says that there will be future Thursday Murder Club books, but that he's going to write something else first.

I had to explore that last week as I had read this would be the last in the series.  I think whoever said that misunderstood what Osman had said.

[John G.]

Started James McBride’s The Color of Water: A Black Man’s Tribute to His White Mother today. Excellent book.

[Jrand74]

It is now 85 degrees and the air conditioner/heat pump is on.

[Jrand74]

I loved reading about the birthday celebration of DR ELMORE.

And I loved seeing the drawings!
