Well, you've read the notes, the notes were 102 in the shade, and now it is time for you to post until the 102 shady cows come home.

Tuesday. Only Tuesday.
Well, let's make it a good one!
-
Good morning, all! I slept late.
I am on my first cup of coffee, pondering a walk to the post office, and wondering how soon the rain will land. it's rather dark and ominous outside.
I am thinking that today is a home renovation day. If I do not end up sitting at the computer all day.
-
Good morning, all.
I would rather sleep than work today. I'm afraid that's impossible.
-
Tuesday morning greetings! AAUW Middletown kicked off its 90th year last night with a festive potluck dinner, a good speaker, and a smooth business meeting. Madame President is tired today.
-
Good morning, all.
Got to sleep in just a bit this morning, which is a blessing.
-
It looks like once this rain passes, which will probably be within the hour, there will be no more today.
-
Reese's peanut butter cups are my favorite. So I would love those little Christmas trees!

TOD
In past lifetimes I might have pointed the finger at heat waves, back in the days when I'd be living in some place with no air conditioning. I despised those times like nothing else.
But not any more. The two storms that took out our power for three days each take the prize: the Halloween Nor'easter of 2011 and Hurricane Sandy in 2012. No electric, no water (if you're on your own system), and the biggie: no heat. And conditions were freezing. Enough was enough. These two storms are the reason I now have a total-house generator.
-
Tuesday. It is cool and rainy here.....so no complaints.
We have a brush up rehearsal tonight, so I have to travel down to the theatre.....
Lots of work for DR ryacko....which is good news.
-
I have been through several snow days that included NO TRAVEL and sometimes NO electricity....but that's about it.
Of course this year we have predictions of HEAVIER THAN NORMAL snowfall....so this might be it.
Back in 2012, when David and Britt Cryer were in town for THE CRUCIBLE, they were still living through Hurricane Sandy....they live in New Jersey....
-
Just thinking back -- I only lived in one apartment in L.A. that had no A/C at all (Clark Drive in the Flats of Beverly), and I don't have any idea now how I survived there without it from 1975 to 1979. I had what might have been the coolest apartment in the building, and it was miserable during heat waves, whether Santa Anas or the regular kind with humidity. They were all bad.
The other California apartment that didn't have it (right on the coast in Redondo Beach) truly didn't need it, except during maybe one week out of the year, usually in August or September, and that's probably exactly the weather they're having right now.
But a couple of others had poorly functioning A/Cs, which is very nearly as bad as having none, and that's why I've always looked back on those years as being without it so much of the time.

Good morning! I don't know if anyone else, besides George) saw Barbra last night, but I thought she was terrific, as was Jimmy Fallon doing his impersonations of Elvis, Michael Buble and Blake Shelton. What do you think, George?
-
TOD - The week following Hurricane Ike's visit to SW Ohio on September 14, 2008. The wind that Sunday afternoon knocked out power all over the Cincinnati/Dayton area and our power company had sent crews to Texas and Louisiana in anticipation that THEY would be hit. It took a while for enough crews to get here to start restoring our power and we were without it until late Friday. Fortunately, temperatures were moderate, so we didn't need heat or air conditioning and our household had hot water. Richard was retired, but I still had to go to work. I showered and dressed at home and did my hair and make-up at the library. The big challenge was finding coffee on the way.
-
I'm off today. The A/C guy is here now. Says some fuses were blown in the heating/cooling unit. It seems to be working. Let's hope it won't be too expensive.
-
After he goes, it's off to Target for Partners (the new CD)!
-
Played a dress rehearsal last night with just my bass player, and tonight's the full band. This is the challenging one, where everyone must learn how to squeeze themselves into this very tiny "pit", and then play at volumes that never cover the singers. And I don't mean hardly ever. I mean never. The great thing about this small theater is that we perform everything "acoustically", with no miking. It can be a challenge but it's so rewarding when you get it right.
-
I am now all caught up.
-
As well as leading off page 2.
-
I now have a lot of E-mail to review and delete.

Good Morning from the left coast!
There's an anagram for the WOD: CABALETTA -- it means: A short, rhythmically repetitive aria.
As an Italian, Cabaletta sure sounds like the name of a Pasta. ;)

I like this! :)

Good Morning DR Jennifer --
Have you ever tried a peanut butter cup S'more? OMG, delicious.
I received an email from Cirque du Soleil yesterday regarding their 30th anniversary concerts in December. Although I have always loved all things Cirque -- I don't do Montreal in the Winter. Even though, I have been traveling yearly since 1985 to visit family -- the latest I have gone was in October. I've never lived in with Snow -- that trip nearly resulted in a fall from a frosty deck. The central valley floor of California gets a dusting every ten years or so.
Any who, here's the link to the concerts, which are scheduled for December 13 to 28, at the Saint Jean Baptiste Church: http://tinyurl.com/ousjgt8

Just as I was about to post something thrilling, there was a nasty three car wreck outside my building. Now I have forgotten what I was going to post.

I finally fell asleep around 6:00 and woke up around 7:45. I'm currently holding an ice pack on my hip, making it difficult to type. I won't be saying much more today, just mostly reading.
-
I'm up, I'm up - a little over eight hours of sleep.
-
Does a peanut butter cup s'more have the marshmellow and stuff inside the peanut butter cup? I do like marshmellows. But not sure if I would like anything besides that and the chocolate and peanut butter.
-
As RYacko mentioned, they did cast a very young "Mother" in Ragtime - in her early 20s - Christanna Rowader, who was our standby for Jane Noseworthy in Pure Imagination.

I really enjoyed the episode...I'm going to burn a DVD. :)

I wonder if Costco has it. I need to go there anyway, so I'll check. However, what they have in stock for CDs and DVDs has really gotten slim in the last few years. :-\

My credit union cancelled my debit card due to the long ago breach at Target.
And they cancelled the replacement debit card that they sent to me last week, which I hadn't even used yet, due to the breach at Home Depot. :'(
-
Is anyone at HHW watching the new reality-type show UTOPIA?
It is sort of, kind of interesting, as a human personality experiment.
-
And because 3 nights a week of BIG BROTHER is evidently not enough for me, I have started watching BIG BROTHER Australia on Youtube.

I never use my debit card at stores. I only use mine at my bank's ATM. Always use cash or credit card at stores.
-
DR Ginny, what was your absolute, # 1 favorite thing about your visit to France?
That's really hard to say, DR MBarnum, but there was one place I could have stayed a lot longer than we did - Pont du Gard, the Roman aqueduct. There's a nice visitor center and, if we'd been on our own, we'd have spent some time there and watched the informational movie. We'd have taken a picnic lunch and maybe hiked a bit more around the site. We were quite rushed that morning because it was the first of three major stops that day.

Well, I could use a credit card instead, but the same thing would happen. I just don't carry much cash on me and there is no way I am going back to writing checks at the store.
I still don't know why, and they couldn't explain it to me, they cancelled the unused debit card. In addition to never having been used, I never shop at the store that had the breach.

Mom and Dad were without power in Louisville for nine days after Ike. Scary stuff.

The last two times I sailed on a clipper off the coast of Maine , I was on board during Ike and Katrina. It was quite scary. We had to sail into supposedly safe harbors to ride out the storms.

It sounds like this is going to force you not to spend money.
The major difference with a credit card is that you won't be responsible for the missing money while they figure out the problem. We don't trust debit cards since our info was stolen and items were purchased in Europe. Eventually the bank returned our money.

I knew that. I was just wondering if Costco had the CD at all...which they didn't. I think I need to take a trip to my local Target...and soon.

In about twenty minutes I'll be on my way to comp vocals. Painstaking but it must be done and damn it all I shall do it.

Does a peanut butter cup s'more have the marshmellow and stuff inside the peanut butter cup? I do like marshmellows. But not sure if I would like anything besides that and the chocolate and peanut butter.
I guess I should have been more clear -- make a regular S'more with graham cracker, toasted marshmello and chocolate. But in place of the chocolate -- use a peanut butter cup. OY, making me drool as I type this! BTW, went to the store today and had to pick up a peanut butter cup! LOL
-
And because 3 nights a week of BIG BROTHER is evidently not enough for me, I have started watching BIG BROTHER Australia on Youtube.
Have you been watching Big Brother London? Leslie Jordan is one of the two Americans in the house, the other being Gary Busey. Ugh.
Leslie Jordan was a hoot on Wll & Grace as well as his many other sitcom appearances. He makes me laugh!

Watching "Thrill of a Romance" with Esther Williams and Van Johnson. It's not very good, but the music has been wonderful.
-
Went to a restaurant tonight for Diez y seis de Septiembre. I ordered street tacos, one each of chicken, beef and pork. The chicken and beef stank. Badly. So, we tried to tell the owner. He shot back with this very condescending tone that the food was fresh. That only made matters worse. My friend Bonnie got into an argument with the guy about the way he was treating us, and it all ended badly. We ended up paying for the horrible mess.
I'll never go back, needless to say.
-
well it was a busy day
although I had a lot to do at work having my two co workers back made life much easier and I was out of the office by 5:45 (my 'scheduled" end of day is 5:30 )
-
I'll never go back, needless to say.
Did you try yelling, "Do you know who I AM?"
;D
-
DR vixmom, I am glad to hear that recovery is running apace amongst your co-workers.
-
I'm afraid I am too tired to help make much progress toward PAGE 6.
-
I am head of social ministry and my church and I have has a collection going all summer for items to put together kits for our fall mission trip (I call it Socks and Sandwiches)
We collected toothbrushes with cases, toothpaste, soap, washcloths, socks, deodorant,combs, shampoo, baseball caps, and individually wrapped hard candies
I had put up a schedule so hoping that people would bring an items each week so it would be easy to count and sort and store but , God Bless their hearts, they brought things in any which way and tied them up in plastic bags with eighteen knots so everything ended up in bags in a big pile in the bag of the storage closet (this closet is about 8' x 25')
-
this closet is also where we keep all the special events stuff ( plates, silverware, cups, chafing dishes , pans, tablecloths, vases, centerpieces salts and pepper shakers etc)
-
and my coffee hour supplies are in there in a big cabinet
and the youth ministry has all their stuff in there,
and all the dry goods for the soup kitchen
-
and starting next week we are starting our clothing drive
-
so big as the close is it needed some organization
-
when I was at BJs on Sunday I found a shelving unit on sale and with a $15 coupon I bought it for $45 - all metal 6 foot high, four foot wide with four adjustable shelves and went together with no tools I put similar units in my basement and they work fantastically , they hold a lot of weight
-
so the Vixter and I popped up to church dragged all my socks and sandwiches donations out of the closet, built the shelving unit and started sorting out all the donations
-
At 7:30 I had a committee meeting for an hour and then I went back to the closet to finish up i finally let about 9:30
-
when I got home Vixdad had just gotten home and neither of us had eaten yet so we grabbed the Vixter and we went off to the local diner
-
Vixdad had the shrimp salad sandwich
the Vixter (who had eaten dinner) had a toasted bagel
and I had my beloved Rustic Paninni made ,as I always request it, sans panini - I do not care for the bread -- but the inisde... broiled chicken breast, asparagus, roasted red pepper, portobello mushroom,mozzarella cheese served with a reduced balsamic vinegar... andi substitute a baked potato for the fries
lovely!
-
so not a riveting series of events but the reason why I have not been here all evening
-
I am afraid there will be no page six although I am doing my best to get us to page five at least
-
darn how many on a page again?
-
I'll never go back, needless to say.
Did you try yelling, "Do you know who I AM?"
;D
Never. And I wasn't the one yelling. In fact, I said nothing. But if I had been asked, I would have corroborated how disgusting the aroma of the food was.
-
Let's move this along.
-
Crawling toward page 5.
-
Inching closer.
-
Et voila, cinq.
-
ooooooooooooooooooh page five!

I am sorry your dining experience was rotten

Good evening....last night I turned of the alarm and got a good night's sleep. Amazing what that can do.
-
I am having connection problems tonight. And individual posts are taking forever to load.
-
Except that last one.
-
I had a fabulous dining experience tonight.
-
Paul and I went to the new restaurant at the Hard Rock Casino. It's really nice.
-
Food was great. Paul and I had fun. Just talked and laughed and enjoyed the evening. It was just what I needed
-
I am glad to hear you had a good night, Cilla
-
tomorrow the Vixter and I plan to take my parents to the Texas Roadhouse for a steak dinner
-
TOD - hmmm, been in all kinds of weather. I love blizzards so long as the power is on. Don't like ice storms, don't like floods, tornadoes are not good. I do love to see all the changes in the weather.
-
I am glad to hear you had a good night, Cilla
Thanks. Also had a Moscow Mule for the first time. I liked it
-
I'm doing better today. I worked all day on a brief for an immigration case. The brief would have had to be express mailed today, but around 3:00 pm I learned that the case had been continued until 2016. Now it's not due for 2 year
-
Mom was disappointed when I told her I probably wasn't going to move back, at least not now. But I really think this is my home. I am going to work on finding ways to spend more time there.
-
what is a moscow mule?
-
did anyone DVR the Tonight show last night? I missed it
-
Good evening!
-
I have now caught up.
-
I heard that THE TONIGHT SHOW was available at Hulu.
-
I really enjoyed Barbra last night, although Mr. Fallon seemed to keep foaming at the mouth so that she could barely answer his questions.
-
Because the case was rescheduled a whole level of stress is gone. Still tons of work to do, but one more major project doesn't need to be done right now. It's a relief.
-
I was late arriving tonight, because I took a little unplanned nap.
-
Is Hulu a paid service?
-
is 12:40 am too late or too earlier for a big old bowl of a reese's pieces ice cream?
-
Go for it
-
Is Hulu a paid service?
I think it might be, but you can usually get a Free Trial.

what is a moscow mule?
Stoli vodka, lime and ginger beer. It's actually pretty good. It's served in a copper mug, don't know why, but it is

thanks to Cilla and TCB!
-
Thanks to TCB and Cilla
-
no thanks to me as I was in the kitchen dishing up the ice cream
-
sweet dreams Cilla
-
Aren't you going to share that ice cream?
-
I take no credit for tonight. Vixmom and Cilla did all the work.
-
I guess I will say good night!

Is Hulu a paid service?
Hulu is a free service; however, they have a more premium service called Hulu Plus. I cut the cord on my cable connection last year and signed up for Hulu Plus and Netflix. Wasn't using Netflix, so pulled the plug on that as well. I miss a few shows from the Food Network and TLC, but have been to busy to miss it. Oh, BTW, I do have the free local (network) channels. Crazy thing, once I pulled the cable connection -- I now have free access to new PBS channels I had never heard of. I love CreateTV -- the best of PBS: travel, arts & crafts, cooking, etc.
-
nighty night
Good Night! I sure know how to empty a room. I should get some shut eye myself -- 6am wake up comes around all too quickly!
-
Back from evening one of comping - did seven of the fifteen songs, and we'll finish up on Monday next. What I heard of the first pass of the mixes sounded very good. But poor John doesn't have anything but one window unit air conditioner so it was REALLY hot in his place.

I'll never go back, needless to say.
Yikes! That definitely would prevent me from EVER going back to any restaurant. Spread the word!

Paul and I went to the new restaurant at the Hard Rock Casino. It's really nice.
Food was great. Paul and I had fun. Just talked and laughed and enjoyed the evening. It was just what I needed
Glad you had a good dining experience, Cillaliz!

did anyone DVR the Tonight show last night? I missed it
It's on Comcast's OnDemand, but I did record it and make my own DVD of the episode. Otherwise, the whole episode is available on Hulu here: http://www.hulu.com/watch/687470 (as BwayAnge said).
I don't know for how long, though.

Topic of the Day:
We've had this topic before and this is what I what I wrote (it's easier to search and quote than Try To Remember [a Fantasticks reference ;) ):
Topic of the Day: I've only been through a couple of earthquakes and a really bad ice storm. The ice storm was kind of cool. Trees frozen solid, covered in a layer of ice. It was beautiful and dangerous at the same time. Some of the trees broke and brought down the power lines. I think that that was the longest that I was without power...five days, I think.

And now, I need to go to bed. Tomorrow is the library's All Staff Training Day, where all employees (who choose to attend...otherwise they must use vacation time) come together at St. Martin's University and listen to speakers, have break-out sessions, get 5-year increment recognitions and FREE LUNCH! It starts a couple of hours before I normally get to work, so I REALLY need to go to sleep now!
Good night and have a good day tomorrow, all!
