Do apple cider crullers count as cookies?

They sure count as looking tasty!

Maybe the crullers can count as honorary cookies?

BK might ask, is there gaslighting going on?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #36 on:** December 04, 2024, 06:34:41 AM »

Good morning, all.

Last night's little concert went well, and I had a pretty solid sleep.

My sleeping is never as long as I'd like, but that just seems to be a fact of life these days.

Kitty cleanup is over, and I need to make the bed. Curiously, all of the Ben Bagley revisited albums have vanished from my iTunes.

TOD:

Bruce, does your auto insurance not cover rental cars when you have an accident that is not your fault?

DR Jane:

Those Haagen-Dazs ice cream bars are the very ones I buy at Sam's Club (along with my Fat Boy ice cream sammiches). I love them!!

Very glad the concert went well!

DR singdaw:

I was informed I shouldn't drive for 24 hours, but I didn't swear it or sign a pledge not to.

I knew it wasn't advisable, but I was very desperate! DESPERATE, I tell you.

Plus, traffic in this two-traffic-light-town isn't risky. The (Don't-Be-A-Square-Eat-At-the) Triangle is a two-minute drive from my house. I have to cross one main road to get there, but there are major traffic gaps along it that a drug-addled mind can navigate.

I had food in the house, of course, but I did not want to cook.

We had a new visitor this morning. Kristi says it's a baby barred owl. Barred is the type of owl. It's maybe 20 to 30 feet away from our window (I zoomed in about as far as my phone will go), and he's (or she's) huge, like, maybe a foot tall? I said that's a baby? What does the mother look like?? Even bigger apparently, like, up to twice that. Anyway, it was up there having a snooze, in the crisp morning 24 degrees Fahrenheit air.

Okay, so Showmance plays on every cliche in the musical book. But it’s every cliche that musical theeder fans will enjoy. And a few dollops of sex.

Beautiful photo, ChasSmith.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #46 on:** December 04, 2024, 07:04:27 AM »

This is more realistic in how far away, and still how big, it was.

Owl!

Very nice DR CHAS SMITH.

Congrats to MR BK on his millstone.

Quite an accomplishment.

It's worse than I thought.....Make Room For Granddaddy has 25 episodes.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #51 on:** December 04, 2024, 07:32:35 AM »

Finished the prologue for the play - so now all I have to do is merge the documents.

And of course this isn't generally known, but I co-directed the film version of WICKED, but I took no screen credit for it. Enjoy!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #52 on:** December 04, 2024, 07:33:09 AM »

It is 36 degrees headed for 42 degrees, I will take that.

Are there parallels to the infamous sitcom LIFE WITH LUCY, described on imdb as "Lucy Barker is a grandmother who constantly gets into comedic predicaments while living with her daughter's family"

Jrand74 · « **Reply #55 on:** December 04, 2024, 07:59:20 AM »

DR FREDDIE Life With Lucy was wrong from the beginning - but it wasn't preachy like this is.....

This series gives us what must have been DT's opinions on what was happening NOW including - living together without being married [until the end of the episode of course], women's rights, teen girls staying out late, race relations [he hired Rosey Grier as his pianist and hilarity ensues including some shucking and jiving by Kathy and Linda, entertaining the boys with Bob Hope, all of Frank Sinatra's girlfriends, and more Uncle Tanoose - whose episodes I fast forward through.....etc etc etc.

The grandson just comes on now and then to lisp out something funny.....and runs upstairs.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #56 on:** December 04, 2024, 08:01:15 AM »

It was produced by actor Richard Crenna who talks about it here.

For LIFE WITH LUCY, there was hilarious slapstick like Gale Gordon getting his tie stuck in something, and we at home worrying that he might just keel over before our eyes.

DR Freddie:

I revisited "Hair" this morning.

It wasn't "White Boys" who were delicious; they were "pretty".

It was "Black Boys" who were delicious in that song!
