But today we get mail!  On Thursday I received a card in the mail that enrolled me in a program that helps with medical insurance and prescriptions.

In another envelope, I got a letter that denied my application.

I guess I will have to travel over to the office and see what is going on.

Post by: Amy on December 26, 2015, 11:20:56 AM
Bruce, I didn't remember the story of your mom dragging you out of "Subterraneans," but obviously Mark did. I only remembered her dragging you out of a movie called "Making Love" which I thought was very amusing because the topic of the movie is right there in the title. Of course there were going to be people making love in the movie - it was called "Making Love"! What the HELL did she think it was going to be about?? One thing that struck me about your Kritzerland books is that you were constantly going off to see very grown-up movies. While I was a child seeing Disney movies with Kurt Russell, you were seeing "Ben Hur" and "Spartacus." You certainly did not lead a sheltered childhood where movies were concerned.

That was the whiskey nut cake. We had some with dessert yesterday. And yes, I found it good, too.

The camel was on the menu of a burger joint that also offers game burgers. Not all the meats are available at the same time, but they also serve kangaroo, beaver and gator meat at times.

I don't eat garden burgers at home but was thrilled to have one for dinner tonight.  They don't seem to know how to cook creative vegetarian dishes that have protein in them.  We skipped the dining room ate ate at the poolside grill before it closed.

Jane, which cruise line are you on?

I'd forgotten how incredibly amateurish Carrie Underwood's portrayal is

I only saw it the one time, but as I recall, you could tell she worked very hard and learned all her lines. She's not an actress. The problem was casting a "name" and not an actress.

It will also give me a reason not to go back to see mom and dad this week.  I talked about going back to help with some things, but a snow storm will mean I won't.  It's a good thing actually.  I thought I was prepared for what I was going to find, but was still a bit shocked.   I've talked to mom and dad a lot since I got home and they seem to be ok.  I may have over reacted a bit

Yesterday we watched a bizarre French film, 8 Women, a combo murder mystery and musical. Then a couple episodes of Blandings, which were riotously funny.

Tonight more Blandings and A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Which production of the Shakespeare?

It was to have been the Max Reinhardt version but we watched Stranger Than Fiction instead. Very good movie. I'd forgotten how much I'd enjoyed it.

Has anyone else been seeing these deal dash .com commercials.... There's a lady ( with a really annoying voice) wh says she had won 104 auctions in her first 4 months on the site....and below her picture it says 232 auction s. Won.... Does she sleep? Is she independently wealthy?  What is she doing with all that stuff?


She must have won the Powerball.

I wasn't going to eat much today, and yet I have not stopped eating.  I guess tomorrow I won't eat much.  My plan is to make half an order of Wacky Noodles, so that will be right around 1000 calories and that will do me just fine for tomorrow.

My favorite present this year was a coffee cup.  On it, was a hand drawn snowman by my 8 year old grand nephew Gabe and the words "I love you Priscilla from Gabriel 2015"   Nothing can beat that

Very nice, Cillaliz!

After that, I drove them home and we played Phase 10 (I lost...yet again) and six rounds of Dominoes.  I'm now at my home, ready to ketchup on all the posts.

In honor of the wise men's visit, I had camel for lunch in the form of a burger.

I think I'd pass on that. Where does one find camel meat for sale?  I did try a slice of that marvelous cake you sent me.  Even battered by USPS, it was still quite deelish!

John, I received a package from you, also!  Thank you so much!  I'm going to eat the edible item tomorrow.  The one I got does look good, and not too battered. :)

It was fun.  I clicked tickets.  It was for Harlequin Productions, and they don't tear tickets, anymore.  The people at the doors just confirm that the tickets are for the correct performance, then they count the number of patrons wth clickers.

Not "Making Love" - Let's Make Love - and she didn't drag me out because of THAT movie - it was the sneak preview that was with it - Come Dance With Me starring Brigitte Bardot.  The drag out occurred when Miss Bardot's boyfriend undid the top of her nightie and put his hand on her boob. 

Oh my!


but for a moment there, i was experiencing the mental image of BK being dragged out of MAKING LOVE in the 1980's years after he had made FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL in the 1970's.   :)

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking, too! :D

It was pretty good...not their best, but certainly not the worst.  Christian Doyle was in it and was his usual good self.

Christian's grandmother passed away last week.  She was the last of the legends of musical theater in the 50's and 60's here in Tacoma.

I think a Kritzerland Show of novelty songs would be most entertaining....including of course those in the title of today's notes.

Those two songs delighted my brother and sisters and I during the summer of 1958....and we sang them over and over and ran to the radio when they were played.

Around the same time or perhaps slightly later we also enjoyed:

Tan Shoes & Pink Shoelaces
Norman
Splish Splash
Hey Bobba Needle
Running Bear
Lipstick on Your Collar

and this:

What a coinkydink!  "Tan Shoes & Pink Shoelaces" was actually sung in the show that I saw tonight.  Two references on the same day of a song that I had never heard of.

I think they said it was going to get down to 25 degrees.

My sister and I are going to see the new STAR WARS movie tomorrow morning at 11.  Hopefully, any freezing will be melted by the time we go.

Vixdad and the Vixter had mini scull differences but we treated ourselves to new specs just the same.  Costco is so reasonable that the prive fir three exams and three sets of specs was less than I paid for just me the last time I went to LensCrafters

Ipad, stop guessing what I was going to type!!! Minuscule.   Not mini skull

I was wondering what it was supposed to be. ::)

The Magnificent Seven is on PBS right now.  I went to IMDb to look at the listing and as I typed the title, the auto-fill listing that came up first is for a remake to be relased in September 2016.
