Well, you've read the notes, the notes were thrilling like those thrilling days of yesteryear, and now it is time for you to post until the yesteryear cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PANACEA!
-
Topic of the Day: I remember watching Star Blazers in the morning before school, and The Banana Splits after school. I know that there were others, but I don't remember what they were. ::)
-
Today, I'll be home doing not much of anything...maybe making another Blu-ray. We'll see.
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning, all!
-
My computer is being wonky this morning, and I had to restart it three times. I think it's back to normal now.
-
I have no real plans for today. I've got a huge pile of bootleg DVDs that need to be organized, so I want to work on that.
-
Good morning, all.
-
I can’t quite get out of bed yet.

Thanks to everyone for the good wishes yesterday and the nice thoughts.....they go a long way!
Yes DR VIXMOM this here site was most essential during those weeks.
DR JANE it was such a whirlwind, I really didn't allow myself to have a negative thought - I figured that was counterproductive. The only time I really had a few sobering moments was when I was getting readied for surgery. My brother & sister had talked to me and left the room, the doctor came in to talk....and then I was alone ALL BY MESELF lying in that bed as the anesthetic dripped into me.....and all I could think of was "The Road Not Taken".....
-
I think my grandfather used to smoke a PANACEA now and then.
-
I have as yet to be stimulated by the government.

I have been watching a few episodes of The Lone Ranger and The Roy Rogers Show on a local channel.
It seems that on a lot of LR episodes, the villains are folks that are introduced as upstanding citizens - bank presidents, sheriffs, lawyers and the like....that happens A LOT!
We saw The Lone Ranger & The Lost City of Gold at the drive in.....
-
Good morning
-
Yesterday I did take a 90 minute nap after work , but then after dinner I managed to stay awake until 11 pm
-
Then I went to bed and stayed asleep until 6:30 am
-
I rolled over looked at the time and closed my eyes
-
And lo and behold When I opened them again a moment later it was 8 am and the alarm was ringing
-
Now if I can just do that for a day or two maybe I can break the cycle of being up in the wee hours
-
Eating brioche toast with a bit of butter
-
And coffee
-
But I must head out for work very soon
-
Have a wonderful day all

One question, have all of you who received your checks already filed your 2019 taxes?
-
Good morning, all.
-
One question, have all of you who received your checks already filed your 2019 taxes?
Yes. I filed early in February. I do my own with TurboTax, and nowadays I always file both federal and state online and use direct deposit when there's a refund.
-
Today, an ADVENTURE:
I'll be going to the post office to mail DR JohnG.'s DVDs.
Isn't that exciting?
It's amazing to realize how long I've staying home. My last time out was going to the bank drive-thru on Saturday morning, and it was at least several days before that that I was last in a store. All of the shopping has been done by my lovely housemates who take all the precautions, so, knock wood, we're doing good here.
-

Yes. I filed early in February. I do my own with TurboTax, and nowadays I always file both federal and state online and use direct deposit when there's a refund.
But I don't think filing the 2019 taxes is supposed to make any difference, since they aren't even due now. If you haven't done 2019, they'll use what you filed for 2018.

I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple of important ones. I know there are a couple of local (Columbus, Ohio) ones whose names and personalities are sadly forgotten. I must do some research on that sometime.

I think my grandfather used to smoke a PANACEA now and then.
When in Mexico, I always bought my bread at the PANACEA.
-
I forgot to acknowledge The Lone Ranger. I don't remember which westerns we watched, but certainly that one, and unfortunately our westerns were never anywhere near the number of sitcoms and variety shows. Speaking of which, the one I mostly remember from my very earliest days is Jack Benny.
-
Good morning!

Well, I'm an idiot. (So what else is new?)
I called Kristi to ask where the hair clips were so I could assemble my bandana mask to go into the post office, and she said, and I quote: "You idiot. Don't go out if you don't have to AND spend money. I can mail that from the office!"
And so it shall be done. Soon, DR JohnG. You'll have it very soon!
-
One question, have all of you who received your checks already filed your 2019 taxes?
Yes.
-
I need to step out at some point today. I must get to the bank and a market.
-
I'll still go out later for a drive, just for the car's sake.
As BK says, they've gotta be kept in shape. I can do a convenient three-to-file-mile circuit through the nabe and enjoy the fresh air as well. It keeps the battery charging, and the tires from whatever wear results when the car just sits in one spot.
And Lordy, I still have my snow tires on! :) But at least I'm not wearing 'em down.

No rush. And you’re not an idiot.

I feel a little like a hypochondriac these days. Anybody else? I question every cough and sneeze. Can I smell? Can I taste? I asked myself these things almost daily.

I’ve never done this before, at least not that I can remember.

DR VIXMOM no my congressperson is Jim Baird.....I am in district four. He lives in Greencastle and has attended Putnam County Playhouse on occasion..... :D
Miss Trey Hollingsworth is a disgrace - but then again.....a lot of politicians are. His was a mean and dirty campaign but money prevails......

Oh yes, but then I normally have so many of the symptoms like the headache I have. I can still smell and taste and my head does not feel as it is going to explode :)

Now I'm up but very groggy and logy.

Just as I got in bed, I had a horrible allergy attack and it took forever for the pill to kick in and it's barely working now, just seven hours later.

There was a very negative story about us on the front page of the New York Times, making us appear to be the digital incarnation of Ebenezer Scrooge. We automatically took people’s stimulus checks and applied the money to outstanding debts, whether people wanted thst or not — and while we’re supposedly in a grace period for everyone. Well, it must have hit the fan with a great force. We’re changing our ways and retroactively doing what we should have done in the beginning, letting people have their stimulus checks in whole and doing with them what they want.

I never left the apartment today. Maybe I'll go out tomorrow.

No mail here, either.

Had Islands again. Fries were great, burger was weird today, not cooked the way I asked (medium WELL) and sloppily made. May have to give Islands a rest now.

Hello, everyone.

I suspect it's quite common. A friend of mine who's rather hard-boiled told me that he coughed one morning and was immediately wondering if he had the virus. I've asked myself that a couple times, too.

DR VIXMOM this story answers a few more questions about the Where's My Payment site. It's from my local Fox59 news station.
https://fox59.com/news/national-world/payment-status-not-available-irs-explains-error-message-users-encounter-on-get-my-payment-tool/
Just a few weeks ago I was combing the IRS site to find a way to submit my direct deposit information. The site said you can submit it when you use tax software to prepare your return or you can ask your tax preparer to do it. I asked my tax preparer since I could not find any way to do it myself. I think the Where's My Payment must be a new addition. A good idea, too. I'm sure many people are very anxious to receive their checks.

There's a restaurant here called the Carving Board, which used to make really good sandwiches. Brian worked there, but after he left they never made my sandwich right, so I stopped going there. I went there today, for take-out, as options are limited. Still not as good as I remember, but at least my order was correct. And the snarky young female order-taker wasn't there.

In high school, Bruce told me about wrestling and I started watching that regularly. Tricky Ricki Starr was my favorite.
James Mason's wife--was her name Pamela?--had a daytime show that I used to watch. It wasn't for kids, but for some reason I liked it. Tiger Milk was the sponsor. She did the Tiger Milk commercials, never according to the script, and they were rather amusing.

Keith used to go to matches when he was young. When the boys were into Hulk Hogan and wrestling I had Keith take them to a match. I blissfully stayed home alone.

I suspect so. I feel very bad for all those people losing their jobs, but she was very bad for business. The supervisor was in there today and I didn't see anyone else.

I thought it was really fun to watch. Bruce had told me it was phony. My dad would sometimes watch with me. I never wanted to go in person, though. TV was enough.

I need a nap. I'm falling asleep at the keyboard.

Keith always knew it was phony. When he took the kids he was shocked to realize how many adults believed it.

I’m settling in with Bandstand. I had liked the CD a lot. Hopeful it’s good.

Back from a quick Gelson's run. Apparently 6:00 to 6:15 is the no-brainer. At 7:00 there was a line outside - just five people, so I waited - only about a minute to get in and I must say I'm not quite understanding why the line was necessary as there couldn't have been more than twenty people in the entire market, scattered about. Weird. I'd hate to see how that would go if it actually had people inside. I'm done with delivery food until Monday, I hope. Got the makings for faux chicken stroganoff over rice, tuna pasta salad, and regular spaghetti with pink sauce - the tuna pasta is two days' worth of meals, so that will be Saturday and Sunday and tomorrow will be the faux stroganoff. They had plenty of everything except - toilet paper - that continues to boggle my already boggled mind, the fact that people cannot wait to buy yet more toilet paper. I understand that it's now readily available at Costco. Go know. No paper towels, little in the way of stuff like 409 - people must be going through that cleanser stuff one a day - I don't do that nonsense inside my house, since, well, I'm the only one here. I wash my hands when I come in and that's IT.

Oh, and the Shell station went UP a dime to 2.93 - wrong way, Charlie.
-
My employer just sent out a message that the city is now mandating we have to wear a face mask when out in “pubic.” I was not given the chance to edit the message.

Bandstand is choreographed within an inch of its life. I wish the director had paid that much care to the book. The stars are charismatic. Beth Leavel doesn’t have much to do and sells every second she’s on stage.

I had no interest in Bandstand at all, mostly for the reasons JohnG stated - just don't like the director.

Then I received an updated message that delivered has been rescheduled to Monday

Thursday morning greetings! My book group meets tonight on Google Hangouts and I can’t wait to see my friends!
I had a Microsoft Teams video meeting for work today. It worked for the most part, and was informative. We're still aiming for some people to come back to work on May 5 (my birthday!), and other people maybe getting work laptops to bring home until everyone can come in to work for normal. The plan is still to have the public branches not open until later in the month. I forget when, though.

When I've gone to Red Wagon during the last several weeks, only the owner and his wife have been there. I guess they fired their former staff because they have a "Now Hiring" sign on their front door...preparing for when they can open fully...and hopefully they're able to hire back former staff. They were pretty much all really nice and good workers.

She managed to convince her friend to wave all the additional charges.

I believe they also gave him something to make him relax, because he was really spaced out when he got home.
