Keith asked, and they are kindly starting with us.

Good thinking. They have to start with someone, right?

They do, and we were very happy it was us.

[Jane]

It was odd that the afternoon unit only had one alarm sound.  I wonder if that meant the other ones weren't working.

[Jane]

Worried about the poor dog next door I reminded them of how loud and scary the sound is.  They have taken the dog away for the morning

Good that they listened to you.

I wasn't sure they would and am relieved that they did.  I think my "loud and scary" description had something to do with it.

Yesterday in my brief stop at the supermarket for half a dozen essentials, I caught sight of a display of breads on sale and made an impulse buy of something I used to keep around on occasion, but haven't in at least a couple of decades:  a package of cinnamon raisin bread.

Now doesn't that sound exciting? I know how to live on the edge, don't I? They don't call me Thrill Seeker for nothing.

Anyway, I love that kind of thing but hadn't bothered indulging in years. Just had a slice, toasted, with butter, and YUM.

Cinnamon raisin bread also makes good french toast.

I always liked cinnamon raisin bread, but the ones I’ve purchased in the last five years or so haven’t been as good as I recall. Perhaps it’t the brand.

Are you finding them too sweet?  We noticed that is the problem with many of them.

[Jane]

Oops, almost missed noticing that I took us to page five.

[Jeanne]

Our car is just a tiny (very tiny) Nissan Rogue (SUV). Good question why they didn't rule it a total loss. Honestly, although there were a lot of dents, it still drove just fine.

I think you came out very well. You usually can’t buy an equivalent car for what the insurance gives you.

Vibes the car 🚗   is trouble-free going forward (or going backward). 

[Jeanne]

The view out my mother's back door. She lives on a small private lake.

Isn’t that lovely.

[Jeanne]

Oh my, this font certainly appears smaller on my screen!

That's because I am posting this in my new EYE BUY DIRECT glasses.

I haven't had prescription glasses on in well over two years, so I've got to re-accustom myself to how the world acts through them. That takes a little while, especially with a strong progressive lens prescription. But I think these will work fine for the couple of months I'll be using them. I actually regret having waited so long to get them.

The physical fit was perfect right off the bat, and when did that ever happen in an optician's office? Never in my experience. Plus, I ordered them Friday and they're here Wednesday afternoon. I had originally figured I'd try Warby Parker which seems to be all the rage, and then DR Jrand73 suggested this place. I thank you, sir!

Glad it worked out so well. Especially important with a progressive lens.

No, just kind of tasteless.

[John G.]

Last half hour of Godfather Part II.

[Jeanne]

I know it’s not Friday, but I’ve been enjoying Annika and Hotel Portofino.

[Jeanne]

TTFN.

[Jane]

I know it’s not Friday, but I’ve been enjoying Annika and Hotel Portofino.

Are they both mysteries or just Annika? 

[Jane]

Last night we watched the first episode of Godless and plan to watch the second episode tonight.

This is Thomas', and it's very good. So far. I have no idea what brand I would have bought in the past. Way too long ago. No idea.

I shall now be on my way to the theater.

[Jane]

I have only had Thomas English muffins.  I will look for the bread.

[John G.]

I really enjoyed the Godfather trilogy. I think the ways people misunderstand them is a shame. The loneliness Michael faces at the end of Part II, when he’s killed off this week’s enemies, is devastating.

[John G.]

I have now started A Brilliant Mind. I saw the first half of this years ago, but I have never seen the full movie.

[John G.]

The cardiologist appointment was very irritating. It was merely a preliminary visit before any actual tests, which won’t be until Dec. 11.

That seems a long time to wait for the tests.  I'm sorry the appointment was very irritating.

[singdaw]

That is annoying, DR John G.

[singdaw]

It took me a good chunk of time to adjust to my first progressive lenses.

[singdaw]

Now, I don't give it much thought.

[Jane]

'night

[vixmom]

I will have to look into Eye But Direct

[vixmom]

Thomas used to have a delicious orange cinnamon bread, I don’t know if it was discontinued or if my local grocery just stopped carrying it

[vixmom]

John G that is infuriating

[vixmom]

I have an ENT appointment for tomorrow morning , my hearing seems to be getting worse

[vixmom]

I’ve been wearin* progressive lenses for at least 20 years, the only issue I have with them is walking downstairs, where I have to bend my head down to properly see the steps
