PAGE THREE DANCE!!

[George]

For my power bill, I'm on something like a budget plan, but that's not what they call it.  They averaged my monthly use over a year and I pay pretty much the same each month.  Then one month a year, they adjust if I used more or less than that, and I'll either pay more for that one month or get a credit. Otherwise my monthly payment doesn't really change.

Just having concluded three full days of interviews at work, I don't recall anyone giving this answer:

But in so many cases out there in the worldwide job market, isn't that the honest answer?

Yup...it's the point!

So many near-simultaneous millstones going on!

singdaw, you're closing in on a beautiful pretty round 55,000.  41 posts away.

And a person should celebrate every millstone passing by.

Padding the post count, Freddie?  Which is completely legitimate!  YOU'RE heading towards a millstone yourself!

From George:

Yes, two.  I'm #13 on on 2 copies from my library (13 week wait), and #10 on 6 copies at Pierce County (4 week wait).

I thought I had to pick one library or the other, or the book was automatically held in the shortest queue.

Are you using Libby?  I'm not.  I went to each library's OverDrive page and added my holds there.

You're right! I went back and edited the first of those posts to make it three distinct, separate posts!

Why say in one post what you can stretch out to five posts?

Hello from early Saturday in the far east.

[Rodzinski]

Love to TCB who lives in our hearts.

I'm using Libby as I thought I had to use it to put books on hold.

My heating oil and propane are on a "budget" plan that gets adjusted annually.

(Heating oil is for the furnace. Propane is for the cooking, water heater, and the generator. We don't have natural gas lines in this area.)

Mom has died. I was on the phone, talking to her. I told her when she was ready, she could go. She went immediately after.

[John G.]

The same thing happened with my dad. When my mom told him it was okay to go, he did.

Turns out the same friend who with Mom when Dad passed was also with Mom just now.

[ChasSmith]

Wow. Condolences, DR John G.

When we knew my dad was going, my sister told him it was okay to go, and she had me talk to him and say it over the phone as well. He went the next morning.

[bk]

Condolences to John.

Friday was kind of a my day already, just not quite what I hoped for, but still a fine my day.

[bk]

There was a minor modern major miracles, so that was good.

I got some fresh bagels and had two tuna sandwiches on onion bagels - very good.

[bk]

The helper came and she'll now ship books.

What is this page three malarky?

It's the Haines His Way way.

[singdaw]

A time-honored tradition.

Went to the mail place and picked up an Amazon package containing essentials - toothpaste, some new toothbrushes, socks, and a three-pack of twelve disposable razors per pack, sold only as a set. Only it wasn't a set and there was only one, so that's going back and they'll send me the three pack. The one that was in the box even says SOLD ONLY AS A SET. Hmmm.

[singdaw]

I just read your news, DR John G. I am really sorry. Thinking of you and your family.

Not really understanding the Gypsy stuff so maybe elmore can explain. This is a show that has had more revivals than almost any musical in history. How can the parts not be correct after all these revivals? Are they playing wrong notes when they do these revivals?

[bk]

Weird.

[bk]

I came right home after the mail place.
