Well, you've read the notes, you digested the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the digested cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: TOYETIC!
-
First post after BK!
-
Topic of the Day: Growing up, I remember my parents getting Reader's Digest, and my mom actually still gets it...or maybe she resubscribed, but they always have new issues in their bathroom. ::)
;)
-
My mom also used to get Better Homes and Gardens.
-
The only magazines that I ever subscribed to were TV Guide and Playbill. I cancelled TV Guide when they changed the size to a larger format, and it seemed like they had less actual listings and too many articles. Not really what I was interested in. I got Playbill for several years and if I remember correctly, just decided to stop getting it. I did enjoy it when I was getting it, though. I may still have some of those issues in my garage.
-
Also Readers Digest. We also got Life, Saturday Evening Post, and my brother got Boy's Life.
-
And now for something completely different...my checkbook has been balanced! :D
-
I wonder why we never subscribed to TV Guide - I bought it every week at Big Town Market or Daylight Market. I think maybe we had Coronet for a while, never Life or Look, never Saturday Evening Post. I know there were a few others.
-
I used to get TV Guide at a local store, then I noticed that subscribing would save more than half the cost, so I subscribed and got it in the mail.
-
Well, it's time for me to go to bed.
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning, all!
-
It's very dark outside. I can't tell if it's a stormy day or if it's the shortening of days after the equinox. I thought it was 5:53 whe I opened the blinds for Thatch. Nope, 6:53. So, I'm up.
-
The TV weatherman just said heavy rain today, so I know what's going on.
-
I am staying in. After my patrol with Annabelle, I cook up a vat of chili and freeze a lot of it. My goal is to get through as much of How to Succeed Act Two that I can by October 1. I need some income.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Rain. Solid rain. All of today. And yes, very dark.
-
I have a dental appointment at eleven, and I need to do a bit of shopping for food. Then I’m staying in.
-
Reader’s Digest, yes. I seriously wonder if there was a time when we DIDN’T take it. I saw a large print copy at my dad’s recently, and I fully expect my sister still gets it. In addition to that, growing up, we always had the likes of Life, Look, and Saturday Evening Post around the house. Maybe not all three, but who knows. We probably had a TV Guide subscription, too, since I’m pretty sure it was always in the house. National Geographic, too.
My parents did take the condensed books for some years. We always had at least a shelf or three full of them. I remember reading a few things from them. I can at least credit it with being my introduction to The Haunting of Hill House, and stuff like Mrs. ‘Arris Goes to Paris.
Once I was living in my own places I subscribed to any number of things depending on my interests at any given time — music, hifi/stereo, movies, photography, aviation. Saturday Review. Opera News. I did take TV Guide, but off and on, I’d go back and forth on that. In later years I was off and on with The New Yorker, too. And for many years there was always the annual gift subscription to National Geographic from some grandmother or aunt or other.
-
My mother subscribed to Reader's Digest. I used to read the humor sections inside it.
My brother Macbeth subscribed to Sports Illustrated.
I've subscribed to Opera News since 1967 or so and purchased Famous Monsters of Filmdom, Show Business Illustrated, High Fidelity, and Stereo Review on the newsstands.
My dad subscribed to Popular Science and Popular Mechanics
The only other subscription I can recall is TV Guide
-
After 39 years here, I just let my TV Guide subscription expire. I stopped caring what was on.
-
Yes, the humor sections!
-
I actually stopped caring about TV Guide itself back when the world of TV was becoming the world of cable. It seemed like overnight it was different, with out of control listings that appeared less helpful, way too many dumb articles, and suddenly it was ridiculously expensive. Depending on where I was living, I sometimes found the Sunday paper TV listings more useful and easier to navigate.
-
I had various rituals for different magazines. Certain ones had to be devoured from first page to last the evening they’d arrived. Others were to be savored over time. The TV Guide ritual, of course, due to its nature, was similar for a few of us. I think I was most intensely into that in the first couple of years of owning a VCR.
-
Moving on, this afternoon and evening are going to be the perfect opportunity to go through the Porgy and Bess recordings. I want to have reviewed all of them in advance of hearing the new one.
-
And that’s all from me this morning. Have a good day, everyone.
-
T.O.D.
I assume you are referring to magazine that my parents subscribed to:
LIFE
READER'S DIGEST
NEWSWEEK
-
My first subscription was to THE VAULT OF HORROR.
-
Today is my son's 49th birthday.
This year, he's giving me a present.
He's moving to Austin at the end of next month.

My present for this year is on order; he should arrive in about two weeks.

Which is why they changed to the larger size. I stayed with them until after the change and did not renew my subscription.

Back from the dentist, where all was - fortunately - well.
I had one back tooth that needed scaling because it had been so hard for me to reach and take care of. Fortunately, I'd just recently taught myself how to get back there the right way after all these years, and she could already see a difference. She numbed me and got it done in ten minutes.

The "Little By Little" CD arrived today. Have to see what that sounds like.

I got a whooping cough shot last month and a flu shot yesterday. I am ready.
-
HA!
Residual checks!

Last night's rehearsal was L O N G....we wore our costumes. I put one of my chausables on backwards....and no one noticed....wait until they see the front side tonight....it's even nicer! It was dark back there, and I have recruited Sister Mary Theresa to help me....
I got a few notes which were nice....and I shall improve my performance tonight.
The BIG thing last night was that we had the orchestra....which sounded great. The exciting thing was that the musical director fired one of the trumpet players during intermission.....he was trying to sight read the score and it just wasn't working.... Of course, he was a student, so there was no real "firing" but it was exciting to see him be told to pack his instrument and never darken the door of pit again....
-
TOD:
Life Magazine
I bought TV Guide on the newsstand because when it came in the mail, the cover was usually crumpled up....and the address label always covered up some of the best parts of the picture or writing....
Our grandparents subscribed to Reader's Digest and Saturday Evening Post and Look....so about twice a year we would get a treasure trove of reading material.
Later on I did subscribe to Rolling Stone, Esquire, Playbill, TheatreWeek, Scarlet Street and a couple of others.
I have NO current magazine subscriptions...
-
I think tomorrow I am taking a step in the right direction.....more later....
-
Good afternoon, all.
-
Busy morning of meetings, before a busy afternoon of meetings.
-
TOD:
Mom used to get a German magazine and The Lutheran Witness.
Dad got the Rural Kentuckian, the magazine he wrote for, and National Geographic, which he never read.
-
TOD 2: in high school I started getting The New Yorker, largely for Pauline Kael’s reviews and the cartoons.
-
Great news, DR Druxy.
-
I'm up, I'm up - seven hours of sleep.
-
In the 1970s I was a magazine freak - thanks to those contest things - I got Time, Newsweek, Saturday Review, New York and others. And I also bought every film magazine - Sight and Sound, Film Comment, Films in Review - stacks and stacks of magazines.
-
Today is my son's 49th birthday.
This year, he's giving me a present.
He's moving to Austin at the end of next month.
A Very Happy Birthday to your son, Druxy! And congrats on receiving the present of your son's presence!

In the early 1970s, I recall that you actually had been in some of those magazines like Tiger Beat or 16 or whatever. I don't recall ever having the nerve to buy them, but the girls brought them in and some were intuitive and realized some of my friends and I might enjoy the articles. So they were almost never in our house, IIRC. I was kind of surprised when there was a "David Cassidy Shirtless" announcement on the cover of one, and it was truthful advertising.
BK - You, as I recall, were always fully clothed when you'd show up and usually in photos with others.
Also Donny Osmond was never anything remotely suggestive.
-
I do recall "Donny Osmond 5 Times Larger than Life" but it was just a foldout of him from the neck up.
-
Not the TOD, but: One of the girls at our usual lunch table had brought in the "Pippin" souvenir book, and my friend Keith just could not stop going back to a photo of John Rubinstein. It was a relatively liberal environment, mostly, for an orthodox Jewish school.
-
We loved "Cue" magazine, which then got closed into new York Magazine.
The well-known "Cue" theater critic, Marilyn Stasio, was many years later in the BMI Bookwriters workshop. She seemed like a celebrity for a while, but was so down to earth and nice, that everyone was at ease real soon.

What is it with this Keto diet? I read about it constantly. It seems to be the new Atkins or South Park or whatever that was called. The same people do these trend diets every time and every time they say THIS is the one. Someone just bragged they lost twelve pounds in two weeks. So last night I researched it - no carbs. Really. All fat. Really. Probably gained most of its popularity because of - the Kardashians. Really. Side effects - something called Keto flu (headaches, nausea, feeling constipated at the beginning), and Keto breath. And isn't that funny - I remember all of those side effects the one and only time I tried Atkins. Also funny? Experts who really understand this stuff says as soon as you stop you gain all that weight right back. Hmmmm. It's funny to watch these trendy things that people absolutely live by and swear by - only to conveniently forget they ever did it a year later when the next one comes along.
Want to know why this diet was created in the 1920s? To control epilepsy. But there I was, thinking about trying it, starting today, because I have to lose some weight. I visited a site that kind of lays out what you have to do, what salad dressings you can do - no bread, no sugar, no fruit. I can do that, but what I can't do is eat salads with various ingredients seven days a week with oil and vinegar or some foul tasting dressing - I can't eat eggs every day, because I know how that will go.
-
I kind of looked into the Keto diet, too. Being diabetic, I need to keep my carb intake low, but that is just TOO extreme for me. I can have some carbs, just not as much as I used to, and certainly a lot more than what that allows or suggests. :P
-
I do buy a few "keto friendly" products because I like them and they help with keeping my carbs down, but I don't like the idea of how extreme it is.
-
And what a coinkydink! Literally just now, I got a spam e-mail with this subject line: Keto diet burns TEN TIMES more fat than a normal Diet. :o
-
Larry, did you see the new offerings from Footlite? One is a DVR of the Gentlemen, Be Seated live recording.
-
Ooo!! I just got a notification that Lethal White, the fourth Cormoran Strike novel by Robert Galbraith (aka J.K. Rowing) is available for download from OverDrive! I'm just about to finish a book, so I'll start this next! :D
-
When I reread Anna Karenina a couple of years ago, I marveled at the passage in which Vronsky decides that, to keep his figure, he would give up bread, potatoes and vodka. It was 19th Century Keto.

No. I will check it out. Thanks for alerting me.
-
Annabelle and I will shortly leave for the vet. More money I cannot afford to pay out this month/ I wish she could have held on until the next How to Succeed . . . payment arrived.

Listening to the Bill Cosby sentencing today, I couldn't help but think of all the people I've met and/or known over the years (including Cosby), who subsequently were "involved" with sensational criminal cases.
Gig Young killed his wife, then himself.
Christian Brando killed his sister's boy friend.
Robert Blake was acquitted in the murder of his wife.
Susan Cabot was murdered by her son.
Eddie Cannizzaro claimed to have killed "Bugsy" Siegel.
Barbara Payton, arrested for prostitution, used to be my neighbor.
There was another murder in the late 1960s, a Hollywood acting coach, whose name I can't recall.
Then there was another guy in the 1970s who claimed to have been a Mob hit man. Thankfully, I don't recall his name either.
That's Hollywood.

I got a whooping cough shot last month and a flu shot yesterday. I am ready.
;D
Did you get tetanus with the whooping cough vacinnation?
-
I have been waiting for my cold to go away to get my flu shot. Maybe we will go anyway on Thursday or Friday.

Keep up the good work and maybe you won't need it at all next time.

No workers today ::) This is very annoying, especially since this is not an improvement.

This is one of those once in a blue moon things. She did my whole mouth when I first went to her about eight years ago. Sometimes people need that done again later but I just needed it in this one place. Now that I’m tending to it properly, I shouldn’t ever need it.

I hope you won't take offense, but this old joke came to mind. :)
Sadie's husband Jake has been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet his faithful wife stays by his bedside day and night.
One night, Jake comes to and motions for her to come closer.
He says, "My Sadie, you have been with me through all the bad times.
When I got fired, you were there to support me.
When my business failed, you were there.
When I got shot, you were by my side.
When we lost the house, you gave me support.
When my health started failing, you were still by my side.
You know what, Sadie?"
"What Dear?" she asked gently.
"I think you're bad luck."
-
LOL DR FJL.....
-
I shall soon be on my way to the PHOTO dress rehearsal of SISTER ACT.....I was not in ANY of the rehearsal photos, perhaps I will be included in one or two of these.....

We are home from the vet. Annabelle has had her nasal passages flushed and her nails trimmed, along with her rabies shot.
The best news is that her small spot of hair loss on her side, which is growing back, is not ringworm. I didn't think it was, since Thatch wasn't showing any signs, but I am very happy for the confirmation.
-
Annabelle's diet is working. She weighed 9.43 lbs. in June, and she's down to 8.15 lbs. Dr. Mohr wanted her to lose a pound.
-
Very nice!
-
Back from my Keto lunch - cobb salad with oil and vinegar as dressing - no bagel. Why haven't I dropped ten pounds?

Waiting for Billy Idol. So are plenty o’ fans in full regalia.

Tiring work today. But the potluck was good. And only half of the pie was eaten, which means I’ve got leftovers.

I’m happy.

Why have I not lost twelve pounds?

I'm trying a Beto prayer lunch. Hoping it will drop Ted Cruz. (just a joke, nothing political meant)

I lost 12 pounds. Bad thing was it was in a London casino.
-
I started a diet last week. So far, I've lost 7 days. (Henny Youngman joke)

I've had the performance on mp3 files for years. it's not complete. It's missing the opening of Act two.

The new mouse may be an improvement since it plugs into the computer and not into the keyboard. However, the keyboard . . .
Well! I had to register it to use it and I crashed and burned. I decided it was Japanese-manufactured and now none of the keys are correct. So I'm back on the old keyboard. I will have to call Apple Care to see if they can help me tomorrow. Damn!

Not in the least. Same wth the sleazebag Trump. there have been stories for years.

Why have I not lost twelve pounds?
Maybe you need Annabelle's Fancy Feast-Purina Party Mix diet?
-
I still have not lost a damnable pound.

Is Fancy Feast Purina Party Mix part of the Keto diet?

Has "Night Calorie" been done?

In tonight's "you can't save them all" category.
Every day the Manhattan animal centers post a list of the next day's canine and feline euthanasia victims. Ur's bad enough these places are killing factories, but my other grudges against them are that their often poor photos don't make the animal look attractive, they screw up genders by referring to an animal as "he" in one paragraph and "she" in another in discussing their specifics, they often don;t give correct information about the anmal, and they often assign feminine names to masculine animals and vice versa to really screw up your mind. You may find that a cute cat named Buster is really a female, etc.
Every night there is at least one cat or dog I'd adopt in a second to save its life, and very often I happily learn later that it was rescued or adopted at the last minute. I'm afraid this beautiful baby was not saved today, and I wish I could have saved him. It doesn't help that MACC in one paragraph about the cat claims he is two years old, and in another that he is 10 months old! In addition the pronouns he and she are tossed about indiscriminately that we can only hope the original assessment of male is correct. You can't save then all, but it kills me that they killed him.

So, JohnG is on the Beto diet and I'm on the Keto diet. I had my second Keto meal - scrambled eggs, onions, and a bit of shredded cheese - very good, actually, but I have not lost one pound yet. This diet is a hoax.

Finished with my viewing. The third Department Q film - MUCH better than the one I watched last night - easy to follow story, great villain, and much better directed (different director).

Does anyone remember Kato Kaelin?

His real name was Brian Gerard "Kato" Kaelin
-
Is Beto Beto's real name?
-
It's always more fun to ask than google.

Sometimes it gets us to a page turn.

I never understood people saying "just google."
Isn't it usually clear the person asking is trying to start a discussion, not just ask a question

I never knew that.

Is Beto Beto's real name?
I do know this...his name is Robert, and Beto a nickname for Roberto. Because of where grew up (El Paso), it was also a common nickname for Robert. :)

Seriously, I am curious.

I think Nicky is ready for me to go to sleep.

So, since he is the boss, I had better sign off.

Good night, George.
