I suspect many of the texts I receive are not legitimate.

Our phone account is under my DH's name, so he's getting the texts. My daughter's phone is under my name, so she gets all the texts, addressed to me.

LOL.  Since Keith is the first name on our account my phone is also in his name, therefore I receive an equal amount of texts as he does.

How did "they"get your email address?

I'm sure my email address is due to signing petitions.  I don't have an outrageous number of emails and do not find them distruptive as the constant texts that beep in my ears through my hearing aids.

Keith has been the one to make donations and probably receives more emails than I do.

The kids had a terrible trek down to North Carolina, a usual 8 -9 hour drive turned into 16 due to five different accidents ( in which they were NOT involved) stalling traffic.



Thank goodness they are safe.  How was the baby on the long drive?

Went plant shopping this morning. I got several fava bean plants, two lettuces and a cabbage.

I love fresh fava beans from the garden.

Starting the second season of The Gilded Age. Broadway stars fill every corner but it somehow feels like a museum piece. Audra! Donna! Nathan!  I have read the writing gets better, but the first episode is cliched and dull.

TOD:

Cyrano de Bergerac


I love this play, and I would never consider it a melodrama. And that's my two cents.

A romance? I guess I considered it melodrama strictly because of the ending. I could be wrong.

I think BK is thinking of melodrama as the type of drammer with moustached-twirling, cape-wearing villains, virginal heroines, and ardent suitors you'd find on Captain Andy's Show Boat or Dudley Do-Right cartoons.

I believe the Comedie Francaise would consider Cyrano de Bergerac to be up there with Shakespeare, Racine, or Moliere.

DR Laura, you mentioned election fatigue in yesterday's posts. I am so sick of political emails that I did an experioment. Yesterday, in the past 24 hours, I received 432 emails, and I estmate that only 10% of them were non-political.

Oh, my goodness! :o

I have seven different e-mail addresses from Comcast, but fortunately, only two of them really get any political e-mails.

Then, except for the scenes in Show Boat, I haven't seen any melodrammers on stage. And,yes, Cyrano is one of the all-time greats.

A day of nothing but "me" as I've slept late, putzed around, gotten mail, watched two (count 'em) two college football games (Clemson vs Wake Forest and South Carolina vs. Alabama)  Clemson won handily.  South Carolina lost by a point.

Something I failed to relate in my post-doctor visit yesterday:

I stopped at CostCo.  It was to be my first visit since November of last year.  My first thought was that the parking lot was crazy crowded, but I got a good parking space.

As I approached the entry, loads of folks were entering and exiting, including women carrying babies trailed by their kiddies, lots of people with carts blocking the entrance and me finding NO CARTS AVAILABLE.

A look inside showed bedlam/craziness.  I was scratching my head all the way back to my car after giving up on shopping...WHAT the heck was going on?

It soon came to me:  It was Friday; it was the first payday many folks had seen since Helene had struck; and many folks had gotten their FEMA checks for $750.

Oh, well.
