Title: PRACTICALLY PERFECT
Post by: bk on December 11, 2013, 12:32:02 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes were practically perfect, and now it is time for you to post until the practically perfect cows come home.

First after DR Ben!
Title: Re: PRACTICALLY PERFECT
Post by: ChasSmith on December 11, 2013, 04:10:23 AM: Up early this 20-degree morning (I left the heat on, too, just like BK -- coincidence??) to be ready to greet the electrician who has to do one last small thing before the town inspector comes to look things over and give the final permit on the generator. It's been on line and doing fine for three weeks, but it's time to cross the i's and dot the t's --- or, well, you know what I mean...
Title: Re: PRACTICALLY PERFECT
Post by: ChasSmith on December 11, 2013, 04:12:59 AM: The inspector is also coming over today, so all of a sudden we have a flurry of activity. Yesterday was a frozen Hell, with the snowstorm and the frigid cleanup, and we're going to be in the deep freeze for some time to come. This is January/February weather.
Title: Re: PRACTICALLY PERFECT
Post by: ChasSmith on December 11, 2013, 04:15:34 AM: This evening, after all of that megillah or meshugah or ferkakte or whatever it is, I'm going over to an HTF-friend's house to watch MARY POPPINS on the Big Screen and out of the Big Speakers. He has a fine projection system and I fully expect to be blown away by the film. I must needs pick up my own copy -- today, if time permits, but certainly by tomorrow.
Title: Re: PRACTICALLY PERFECT
Post by: ChasSmith on December 11, 2013, 04:22:11 AM: Yesterday, in between snow work, I watched my first Yasujiro Ozu film, TOKYO STORY. Wow. A far cry from MARY POPPINS, to say the least.
Title: Re: PRACTICALLY PERFECT
Post by: ChasSmith on December 11, 2013, 04:23:08 AM: Okay, that gets us started for the day. I must get back to being prepared for Mr. Electrician. Back later. Vibes to all.

Yes. We leave Friday for the return home with a stop in Wisconsin to visit friends and Ohio (northern part, not in your area) and probably another stop to break up the trip and keep Anthony from collapsing as the only driver

The morning dog walks at these temperatures have been interesting. It doesn't seem to faze the dog at all - he goes out and dives right into the snow banks and rolls around and would go for hours if we let him. However, once I have to take my glove off to scoop the dog doo, my fingers never recover until well after I have returned home!

The actors who play the parents are in a number of Ozu's movies. The films are not always dramas.

Post by: elmore3003 on December 11, 2013, 07:08:49 AM: Good morning, all! I had no energy this morning. After the alarm rang at 7:00, I went back to bed, debated getting out of bed around 8:20 and finally decided I had too much to do and got up around 9:30. I do not like this lethargy.

BK's rave about MARY POPPINS makes me want a Blu-Ray player, but it's third in line behind a printer and CD player. I hate being poor. There's been no response t my email bout selling the property, so it's being ignored.

Today, back to Encores! work. If I get my energy up, I may do the laundry. I need it.

Well at least that part is done. I just have to go to the store and do the calendar. Thankfully i prefer to do this calendar at the store and not at my computer.

I have some other calendars to do that i need to do on my computer. I'm going to try to wait another couple of days. Maybe the smell will be better by then.

Yes, we have a lot of December birthdays here.

I'm off to do a couple of errands, then meet my friend Becky for lunch. Her birthday is also in December, so we'll go out to lunch again on the 20th.

Thanks, DR ArnoldMBrockman - it's been a good day, except for Richard slipping on some ice and thumping his head on the pavement. He's OK, but I kept an eye on him and made sure he had his phone close by when I left for my lunch with Becky.

DR Jane I was able to get my pictures on my usb. It took me more than an hour. Even the smell is much better I still had a bad headache when i was done. I am so sensitive to smells.

Well at least that part is done. I just have to go to the store and do the calendar. Thankfully i prefer to do this calendar at the store and not at my computer.

I have some other calendars to do that i need to do on my computer. I'm going to try to wait another couple of days. Maybe the smell will be better by then.

Good luck as that is difficult to get out. Did you try the peppermint to help counter the odor?

Yes but i don't think it was a strong enough smell.

We looked for flyers in the lobby afterwards, as he wanted some to put in his salon, which isn't far from the theatre. No flyers. I know marketing isn't your job, but I just thought I'd mention it. If they expect to be sold out perhaps they thought they'd save on printing.

Last week, I really thought that I would have about $50,000 left over, with not enough invoices to actually pay! But yesterday and today, some came in and we're paying a few early (they should really be paid next month/year), but it's all good. I am still waiting on one revised invoice to be e-mailed from vendor, but if it doesn't come in, there will be enough for me to get pretty darned close to $0.00!

DR CILLA LIZ - that disheartening news about your friend's trial....

It is, but the truth is, she was always leaving work to go to the gym to run the dogs to do a lot of other things. I think she got screwed over with what happened to her, but not sure she'll win a legal case over it.

I think you need to get an exchange on your washer.

I'm not giving up on the washer yet, although I have met many people today who have the same problems. Instead of using the "light" settings, I've been reading to use the heavy soil and bulky clothes and it will use more water and get the clothes cleaner. It's worth a try

And especially tonight, from watching the MARY POPPINS Blu-ray, one of the most beautiful yet.

It's everything BK said, and more.

It's about as close to perfect as these things get.

I was watching on a very large (120") home screen (projected), and it truly brought back the theatrical experience.
