Three!

[singdaw]

In my dream last night, some clod was stopped in their car and blocking the way. So I honked. They turned around and yelled, "What the hell are you doing?," and so I gave them the finger. And then they started to get our of their car. And then I woke up.

[singdaw]

I would never dream of doing this in real life these days.

[singdaw]

They'd probably pull out a gun and shoot me.

Well.....I went to the vision place because I have some $$ on my Humana card.

I was going to get some new glasses.

Both clerks were helping others, so I walked around and found a pair I liked.

Half an hour later, someone finally came over to help me.  I gave her my information.  I told her I didn't want an exam, I just had one last year.  She looked me up on the system and told me that I would have to get an exam because my prescription had expired in October.

I told her......well.....I just said never mind and walked away.  But that was not what I was thinking.

[singdaw]

  But that was not what I was thinking.

You could have given her the finger like I did to that driver in my dream.

I am trying to make some Christmas here. About half the lights on the pre-lit tree are out.

[Laura]

I think I bought the tree about 20 years ago.

That looks delicious!

From DR Ginny:

Monday evening greetings!  Today I made a batch of caramel corn for holiday gifting (and our enjoyment).  Because I have a cold I wore a mask and because I’m still shedding some hair I wore a (new) disposable shower cap.  I looked like I was about to perform surgery.

LOL.  You really were motivated to safely make you holiday caramel corn.  I know those lucky to receive gifts will appreciate it.

[Jrand74]

DR singdaw - in my mind I did just that.

I also left my two frames on the desk for her to put back.....sad....she lost a commission and I didn't get my glasses.

[Jrand74]

TOD:

I really enjoyed working on OKLAHOMA! in June.  It turned out well and I hadn't done the show since 2001 - so it was great to revisit it.

HOWEVER I must say that my favorite theatrical event in 2024 was the reading of my play THREE [now FOUR] ARRESTS OF FRANCES FARMER at the Phoenix Theatre Cultural Center in Indy.

Probably dead in the water now....but lots of fun....and quite an ego boost for an old man who does shows in a barn during the summer.

DR Rodzinski, moppst of my mother's family made constant references to Fibber McGee's closet.

I think I shall try to bring this reference back into the world.

Here's Fibber McGee's hall closet in action! (26-second video clip)

Fibber McGee & Molly - The Hall Closet

I sent that clip to my aunt yesterday!

[Rodzinski]

TOD: the only live show I saw was the touring Hairspray, featuring my old buddy Greg as Edna Turnblad. ‘Twas a joy.

I never knew Reuben Mamoulian wrote a Chroisatmas story!

An online entertainment writer mentions The Faculty in his bio.

Nice

[Jane]

Today is the second day of the 7:30 am rehearsals - the first of which, I'm sure you'll all remember, was at 10:30 instead, due to snow delays.

So here I am, up and showered and almost ready to leave.

Have a good rehearsal.

[Jane]

.

Speaking of Maple Syrup, has anyone been watching The Sticky?

[Jane]

I would never dream of doing this in real life these days.

I didn't think so

[Jane]

Well.....I went to the vision place because I have some $$ on my Humana card.

I was going to get some new glasses.

Usually presciptions are good for a couple of years.  Did you double check when you had your eye exam?

[Jane]

DR singdaw - in my mind I did just that.

I also left my two frames on the desk for her to put back.....sad....she lost a commission and I didn't get my glasses.

I gather you did not have her write down the information in case you could go back for them.

[Jrand74]

I couldn't argue with a computer system....I must have been wrong.

Yes, I thought eyeglass prescriptions were good for more than one year.....and my guess is that they are - every place else.

[Jrand74]

LOL no DR JANE I did not.

[Jane]

I couldn't argue with a computer system....I must have been wrong.

Yes, I thought eyeglass prescriptions were good for more than one year.....and my guess is that they are - every place else.

The doctor writes it on the prescription.  I suggest calling the office and finding out if it can be extended. If it isn't good for two years I suggest asking why.

[Jane]

DR Jrand, when is your next eye appointment?  I go every year.

[ChasSmith]

My last eyeglass prescription was from the My Eye Doctor chain, and it had a one-year expiration on it.

I'd never paid attention to them at any time in the past, and I only noticed that one when I decided to order a cheap pair online to get me through till my cataract surgeries. Got 'em just in time. Although I don't think I had to show them the actual prescription, I just copied everything into the online forms.

Anyhoo, yes, they sometimes (or often) have expiration dates.

[Jane]

I think they are more relaxed when you order online.
