Good night, friends.

[Laura]

I just got a text from the pharmacy saying that adults over 65 are eligible for another covid vaccine. 

 

I suppose that is meant for people who didn't get one last fall.

No. It's a booster. I got one last fall, too.

[Laura]

I walked to the pharmacy to get the shot.  I also walked this morning to pick up a prescription. So ten miles today.

[Laura]

Then the grandson and his parents came over for a visit. I whipped up some playdough and pulled out the Star Wars and the Grim Grinning Ghosts cookie cutters.

[Laura]

Jane -- one box of cake mix, 2 eggs, and a half cup of vegetable oil.

Instant cookie dough.

[Laura]

We used a yellow cake mix. We added chocolate chips to some, walnuts to some, rainbow sprinkles to some, and rolled some in cinnamon sugar.

[Jane]

I'm glad you have one, DR John G., but I'm also glad that I'm not your neighbor.       

I’m only blowing it out into my own yard, not anybody else’s.

I think he is referring to the sound those things make

[Jane]

  I’m only blowing it out into my own yard, not anybody else’s.

Oh, I know. It's more about the noise, for me.

Yup, the noise.

[Jane]

DR Singdaw we are not having popcorn tonight.

Thanks.

Fun

'night

[vixmom]

Well about 5 p.m. yesterday as I was sitting at the computer.....I began to feel a chill.....then I realized I also had a fever.

I took my temperature and it was 99.5.....so then I decided I should probably take one of those dreaded you know what tests.

And indeed it was POSITIVE.

My fever seems to have gone this morning, so I think that means I am not contagious or something like that.

But I am going back to bed.....

Oh no, sorry Jack…I’m pretty sure I didn’t give it to you, unless it’s one of those computer viruses

Ooooh! This is excellent information!  Thank you!

[vixmom]

For the churchgoers

[vixmom]

I, myself, have decided to stay home tomorrow 

[vixmom]

I already arranged for someone to take over my altar and communion duties for the day

[Freddie]

vixmom, a millstone alert - You're very close to your 71,000th post!

Ooh so I am!

Thank you for the alert, Freddie, I hadn’t noticed!

Twice, in the past week, I have started watching a movie I simply found it too trying to get into.

First, it was last year's best picture "Everything, Everywhere All At Once".  I watched 15 minutes and could not believe that a story had not yet developed worthy of my attention.  I won't give up on it.  I may have had a short attention span that day (it happens).

Today, it was "Poor Things".  Holy crap on a cracker.  I gave up after 10 minutes.  Am told it is brilliant and that I should just let it roll over me.  I felt as if I'd been hit head first by a large truck.  I can appreciate what Emma Stone must have gone through getting into, and realizing, her character.  And I can appreciate that I should stick with it to the end.  But not on THIS day!

Please do not take my comments as overt criticism of disdain for either film.  It's just that they are outside the norm for getting my interest.

That's it. Jack. Vixmom infected you through your computer.  I have often felt I have been infected during telephone calls with sick folks.

As much as I hated to do it, I began watching "Ben-Hur" on TCM this evening.

I say "hated to do it" because I ALWAYS get hooked on this film.  I thought I could just watch up until a certain point, and the I'd be reminded that another part I loved was coming soon.  Some 130 minutes later, I finally got to a point where I knew I could just turn it off.  After the chariot race, it slows down a bit (after his final scene with Pontius Pilate) and it gets into the nitty gritty of reuniting with his mother and sister and taking them into Jerusalem in hopes of a miracle cure.

That, plus the knowledge that it's virtually past midnight rather than half past eleven (counting the impending time change), I think it's time to get into bed.

Wonka has ended. Again, it was good, not great. But it was a fairly well-made movie musical. 

[John G.]

And Jim Carter, Mr. Carson from Downton Abbey, sings in Wonka. Who can miss a Jim Carter musical, to paraphrase Bette Midler.

[John G.]

Good night, all.

[George]

We used a yellow cake mix. We added chocolate chips to some, walnuts to some, rainbow sprinkles to some, and rolled some in cinnamon sugar.

Those sound good...and very simple.

[John G.]

But first …

[John G.]

Let’s move on …
