Well, you've read the notes, the notes were filled with both Dolemite and I, and now it is time for you to post until the Dolemite cows come home.

Jon Batiste and his band were the musical guests on last night's The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.  They're the regular band for the show.  It's pretty cool that they were featured on their own.

Today, I'm taking the day off from work.  My niece and I are going to my parents' house to help put up their artificial Christmas tree and some other things.  I don't know what else we'll do, but I'll find out soon enough.

DR TCB, I am so sorry Nicky had a bad day.  You've entered a period that terrifies me for two reasons with my babies: that I will not live long enough to face these dilemmas or that I will.  This is one of the few rocks and hard places issues I wish on no friend or enemy.

Speaking of enemies, the CD of The New Yorkers just received a lousy Amazon review from a William Oser, who has already panned my recordings of Dearest Enemy and, by inference, Eileen.  He claims to have done a great many things, from acting to working with John McGlinn, but I can find nothing to support his claims.  I believe he's a total fraud.

Well, we weren’t spared. There’s a good three inches out there, and every tree branch is covered. I’ve got my work cut out for me once I know it has completely passed. And cleanup is essential because it’s falling into the teens tonight. This is further proof that there’s no rest for the naughty.

A friend asked me to read his new novel, so after I put the laundry into the washers and made the bed, I settled down with my bagel and lox to read.  By the end of the first chapter I was hooked.  The bagel was pretty good, too.

Outdoors work:  done. 

The neighbor plowed, I shovel-scraped to clean up (it was a little too wet to pick up with the snowblower), and the sun is doing its work. I hope it does a lot more of said work on all the snow still on the trees before it super-freezes overnight. We’re looking at two consecutive nights in the teens.

Watching a short documentary (part 2 actually) on "The Hudson River School" of artists, including Thomas Cole, who lived in Catskill, and Frederic Church, who lived just across the river.

://grammarist.com/usage/bone-vs-debone/

You wouldn't want the bones removed from a fish before cooking. Bones are where the flavor is. Anyway, I guess I was taught that by a snooty, language-is-frozen person, who would not realize that after 50 years of usage, a word can change.

The other day, a woman was complaining about the Washington Post using "gift" as a verb. It's been used as a verb since the 17th century. If we've been using "gift" as a verb for 400 years, then, by gum, it's a verb.

Title: Re: DOLEMITE AND I
Post by: vixmom on December 11, 2019, 09:53:16 PM
I ended up by three pairs of earrings that were marked down from $50 to $10 and were further reduced by means if the magic coupon to $7 a piece, 2 cozy fleece sweatshirts reduced from $19.99 to $9.99 a piece so they came to like 6.98 each and a pretty light blue ribbed turtleneck reduced from $29.99 to $19.99 so it was about $14 after the coupon and the I was given $10 in Kohl’s cash  so all in all I was pretty pleased

My mom had never smoked a day in her life.  My dad smoked cigarettes except for about 5 years in the 1970s when he switched to a pipe, he quit right before the Vixter was born in 1993

Or "deboned." As opposed to "boned."

As in, "That thar chicken was deboned."

OK, you got me on that one.  You would not ask if the fish was deboned?
://grammarist.com/usage/bone-vs-debone/

You wouldn't want the bones removed from a fish before cooking. Bones are where the flavor is. Anyway, I guess I was taught that by a snooty, language-is-frozen person, who would not realize that after 50 years of usage, a word can change.

The other day, a woman was complaining about the Washington Post using "gift" as a verb. It's been used as a verb since the 17th century. If we've been using "gift" as a verb for 400 years, then, by gum, it's a verb.

Then after the fish has been cooked you would ask if it was boned, or to please bone it vs debone it?

Our condo monthly news letter arrived today and I cringed when I read "revert back".  I asked Keith and was pleased he too cringed.  I think it is worse than when someone says PIN number figuring they don't know the N stands for number.  Then Keith said he was about to comment to me last night, while watching The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, that Midge said Irregardless.  But then Suzie corrected her that is isn't a word & all was right in the world ;)

 

Ask Keith how he feels about people referring to a book’s ISBN number...

I currently WORK with people who say "ISBN number." ::)

Do you tell them that the N stands for number?

Back from seeing the club act.  I got home at nine - the club, which I loathe, was about forty degrees.  Outrageous.  Show was fun in its way.  Sat on my couch, started something called The Two Popes and fell right asleep.  So, I've only seen about fifteen minutes of it, but it seems like a well-acted talk-fest.

I've given up.  They've been saying it for years.  It's also kind of like when people say tin foil.  Foil hasn't been made from tin since long before I was born. ::)

Yes.  I first saw a short teaser version and thought that it wouldn't be good, but then I saw the longer version and I do like it.
