Somehow I wonder if Marilyn would have eaten potatoes.

I'd have imagined the Marilyn Monroe breakfast might be quite continental. 

(a try at a Gentlemen Prefer Blondes joke)

For my first five years or so, through kindergarten, I believe, I wore clothes my grandmother sewed on her old pedal Singer machine. I think it was when I changed schools for first grade that our school clothes at the end of August were always purchased at JC Penney. My memory - and we're talking 70 years ago! - is that we mostl;y wore jeans and button-down shirts through the school term and light knit slipover shirts and shorts. I remember alligator shirts. My brother Macbeth, two years younger than I, wore jeans during the summer to hide the braces on his legs between the ages of 4 and 9 because of physical therapy for cerebral palsy. Those mothers were heavy!

I hadn't realized that your brother "Macbeth" had grown up disabled.  That might explain a bit as to how his "Lady Macbeth" might have been able to manipulate

Whatever Penney’s or Sears sold. Sometimes the Gap, which was quite cheap back then. I had to get my jeans in the “husky” section, which was mortifying. Sears Toughskin jeans were supposed to prevent holes at the knee, but they didn’t, and man did I get crucified when I wore a hole in the knees of my jeans.

I'm up, I'm up - six hours of sleep, she of the Evil Eye has arrived, and I shall go have a breakfast.

You're very welcome, Singdaw!

DR RODZINSKI you were ahead of your time - fashion wise.

[George]

My Mom refused to buy us those expensive Levi’s, so we had to wear wranglers …the shame!

I don't remember if I've ever owned a pair of actual Levi's, but I've been wearing jeans practically my whole life.

I entered the third word, not thinking that it was a real, useable word, let alone that it could be the actual word of the day!

That's great, DR George!

Oh, my.

Harvard sues the Trump administration in escalating confrontation

Lawsuit argues that government actions, including freezing $2.2 billion in federal funding, violated the First Amendment and didn’t follow legal procedures.

Being overweight my whole life, I only ever got clothes from the "husky" section, so I didn't know anything else.

[George]

But growing up, I remember going to Sears and Penny's and Montgomery Wards for clothes.

Congrats to MR BK on finding the date!

I don’t remember ever having khakis growing up. I remember getting a pair of fecal-colored corduroys for Christmas. I have rarely worn any shade of brown since.

[singdaw]

fecal-colored

 

It's the Martha-approved Color of the Year!

[singdaw]

Was reading out by the pool, but the sun encroached.

[Freddie]

So singdaw, what was in the Marilyn Monroe breakfast skillet? 
And is there a Marilyn Monroe lunch or dinner, too?

[John G.]

fecal-colored

Not in my house, please.

For "Succession" watchers, I found this YouTube adorable.

The actors who played Tom and Cousin Greg swap roles and read what you might call the "What am I going to so with a soul anyway? Souls are boring" scene

"Nicholas Braun & Matthew Macfadyen Swap Roles"

From DR Rodzinski:

I can’t even get them to come to my place in the same state!

L.A. is our home town

[Jane]

DR Singdaw I'm glad your plane was fine.

From Bruce:

What, no one here has seen the following early movies with robots: Tobor the Great, The Invisible Boy, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Target Earth? Westworld, The Stepford Wives?

Hmm, I'm sure Keith has. I know I watched The Day the Earth Stood Still with him, not sure about Tobor, Targe Earth, or the Invisible Boy.

Together we watched Westworld and, yes that is a good Robot film.  I misremembered that the Wives were possessed vs robots. Still, I wouldn't pick it as a favorite robot film.

[Jane]

Other films:
A/I.
RoboCop
The Terminator series

Back from breakfast and errands and whatnot.

[Jane]

DR Vixmom, as always I am exhausted after reading about your day.  Did everyone simply just drink water at your Easter dinner?

[Jane]

DR Vixmom, thank you for the birthday wishes and vibes for Keith.

[Jane]

I wish I could say he feels better.  He can't smell anything and he does not have covid.

[Jane]

Hmm, George what phone do you have?

My iPhone mini keyboard has 123 instead of your 1/2.
Then #4= to take me to the squigly thing. Instead of your 2/2 on your keyboard I show 123 above the ABC again
