Too many to try to list.

But I will add this, since BK mentions it: I have my recurring dreams, too, many of which are about movie theaters, and I'd say the single most often recurring theater in those dreams is the art-deco-styled Florida Theater on Las Olas Boulevard. My years there were 1961-1963 (I don't have its exact closing date close at hand, might have been in 1964). There are others, but the Florida is the clear winner for those years.

After I FINALLY got off the phone with the furniture store we went shopping. I found one store that carried the Saucony shoe I have been looking for to try on. Since I desperately needed a new pair of shoes, and they only had one in my size, we went to the store. We found, to our pleasant surprise, a wonderful little running store and we each purchased a pair of shoes.

The store also had a four month old English Bulldog puppy named Bella who belongs to the store manager. We had a great time playing with her. She is still at the age where she wants to chew on every shoelace, not good when the shoes are all new ;D

So far we had only been to the Portland stores and not the Vancouver one. I now have delicious cheese, creamy European butter for baking, and their incredible almond cake.

Title: Re: AN ORAL HISTORY OF BATH SALTS
Post by: Jeanne on October 08, 2015, 05:33:05 PM: I saw the surgeon yesterday for my first post-op. There's a small problem, but nothing too unusual and he told me what to do about it. I think it's all part of the healing. I do feel the need to rest and heal, especially so since I had that intestinal bug just before the surgery.
Title: Re: AN ORAL HISTORY OF BATH SALTS
Post by: Jeanne on October 08, 2015, 05:42:27 PM: My surgery was a little different from most. I had the Toric lens implanted to correct the astigmatism and also correct the refraction. My right eye went from a minus 8 (VERY near-sghted) to a minus 2 (slightly near-sighted). A BIG change. My left eye, of course, is still a minus 8. I can see pretty well with the right alone, but I think my vision will be a bit wonky until the left eye is done. I told the surgeon yesterday that I didn't think my eyes were working as a team yet and he said that was a good description. It may be a while before I can drive.

Speaking of which, I was curious as to why that rental car cost so damned much.

What did he get, a Bentley?

It's the insurance. I have no car insurance of my own.

I was also wondering. Yes, that insurance is expensive.

DR ELMORE I meant to tell you to throw three pennies onto the property to help it sell.....but I was remiss in getting back here.

You can also leave them at your brother's house....that should help, too. If you have a stream or lake nearby toss them there - or anywhere in the direction of the property.

I will drive by the property tomorrow on my way to I-75 and throw the three pennies onto the lawn.

Major Vibes it works!!!!!

Got an e-mail from former dear reader S. Woody White - he and der Brucer had been around since my weekly thing on the Sondheim Stage website (One from Column A) and he was here for many years until I think things got to be too much in terms of what they were personally dealing with in their lives. Anyway, der Brucer has passed away at 77.

I worried since he did not respond to my email, which he always did. I am very, very sorry to hear this.

The site is certainly working so where exactly in tarnation IS everyone?

After I FINALLY got off the phone with the furniture store we went shopping. I found one store that carried the Saucony shoe I have been looking for to try on. Since I desperately needed a new pair of shoes, and they only had one in my size, we went to the store. We found, to our pleasant surprise, a wonderful little running store and we each purchased a pair of shoes.

The store also had a four month old English Bulldog puppy named Bella who belongs to the store manager. We had a great time playing with her. She is still at the age where she wants to chew on every shoelace, not good when the shoes are all new ;D

The way I read that at first, I thought you got shoes from a furniture store....

I'm so sorry to hear this. I really enjoyed my conversations with Der Brucer when we were all in New York and the time he and Woody were here on the board. Would love to see Woody come back.

But then, the last time I saw the show, Parthy was Cloris Leachman and Capt. Andy was Dean Jones, both of whom were exceptional.

Post by: John G. on October 08, 2015, 08:10:31 PM: Oh, my. Is there a song to equal "Misery's Comin' Around" for coaxing a tear in eye? And it's delivered beautifully here. Even if I have a few quibbles with this production, that one song makes this production worth seeing.

Makes me want to see the New York Philharmonic production that's coming up later this fall on PBS.
