Yes, the Internet is still down - maintenance they say. Fortunately, the notes were in the form and ready to post, so I was able to do it from my phone. Same with changing the topic.
And George, good work attending the meeting in your car.
I had the most bizarre dream about the old Toyland office. I dreamed that all of my colleagues, who were sacked, had heard I was working on Babes In Toyland and assumed they were back to work as well, despite my protests that this wasn't the case.
I find 2020 thus far UNACCEPTABLE
DR Elmore, I will never forget my visits to Toyland. It was so great seeing the place, talking about scores, browsing through McGlinn's collection. The day Ben and Anthony joined and we moved all those boxes to your place was unforgettable. I think you and I moved even more out on a subsequent visit.
I am happy/sad whenever I think about the place, and I know it impacts DR Elmore a zillion times more.
Friday.
For better or worse. Let's hope better.
Continued vibes for vixmom, and to all who need them! (EDIT): Which, really, is all of us right now.
And George, good work attending the meeting in your car.
"THE MEETING IN HIS CAR" sounds like a title of one of those "don't let this happen to you at work" videos.
So, just now, literally 10 minutes ago, I got a call from the NY State Dept. of Labor. My PUA has been approved, and payments should begin next Monday or Tuesday. It was a huge weight off my shoulders.
So, Vixmom, you want to change your name. Would a whole witness relocation program be of any help?
My cousin and her husband were going to come over for a visit tonight. I said that would be nice.
Then she said her niece was coming.
Her niece sells some kind of AMWAY TYPE HEALTH SUPPLEMENT....that she endlessly badgers people to buy. The last time she was here was shortly before my father passed away.
She wouldn't shut up about it and kept trying to get my mom to buy it.....finally they left. My mom was upset for weeks about it.
When my cousin said her niece was coming - I suddenly decided I didn't want to see them.
It was awful and my Mom hated it......and never spoke to the niece again and barely spoke to my cousin.
Friday morning greetings! According to a sticker book in my stash, today is National Chocolate Chip Cookie day, so I'm going to bake some this afternoon. Richard is very pleased.
I just called my hours in to Suad, and she told me she had not cancelled my food deliveries, so I guess on Sunday I'll see another!
She also told me, when she logged onto my unemployment page how much I'm getting and I nearly fell over. Much, much more than I ever expected, and I was expecting with luck about $100/week.
That was funny DR JANE.
I might look for a slide.....
JC Penney has filed for bankruptcy. Not a surprise but still sad.
Just read that Cindy Williams is in a new movie, Still Waiting in the Wings.

On IMDB it says the movie was released on June 9, 2018.
We've had a very nice day, as quarantine days go. We started watching Yentl while we were having lunch, then took a break for Richard to work on Sunday's sermon and for me to bake cookies, then finished the movie. For my baking I used the 47-year-old hand mixer that my mother got with trading stamps for my first apartment and decided, "Enough!"
So, I sat down and ordered a spiffy Kitchen Aid stand mixer from Bed, Bath, and Beyond. It's something I've wanted for a long, long time and it should be here in a week.
Better than Yentl.
Better than Yentl.
Yes, DR John G, I have very mixed feelings about Yentl.
So, Vixmom, you want to change your name. Would a whole witness relocation program be of any help?

The website said you had to have your face covered in the park. But no one had their faced covered (present company excepted) and there were several families with small children not practicing social distancing.
Most of Iowa is open for business now. It's limited, but I was able to stop and say hey to my friend Clyde the barber today and the salon in our building. They were all grinning from ear to ear to be able to work again. Clyde opened for a couple days, then he's closing to get Covid-19 certified. They have classes that barbers and hair stylists can take to learn exactly how to keep themselves and their clients safe
Yesterday I started coming out of my grief funk. Today was even better. I think all the diet coke helped
Jane,
It wasn't just a particular vet at the place I didn't like. It was the way they treated Callie, didn't listen to me about what would freak her out and the general attitude. I think they were a little rough with her. it wasn't long after that we discovered the bones in her pelvis had compressed even more and she wasn't going to be able to make it. While it may not have been their fault, I've always felt that if they had listened to me about how to handle her and not been like they were, she may have lived longer. I may not be right about that but it's not something I can shake and I need to go visit the first vet I had and see if they will take me back.
I had problems with their care too, but they do a lot of work in saving animals that are rescued and I've started to think that what I thought was using the wrong enema, may have been the only thing they could do to try to keep her alive. It worked. She lived another 12 years after that.
Apparently everyone he spoke to in the office asked him if he was going to quarantine himself before coming in
He has announced he will quarantine himself in his office, it has a private entrance and its own bathroom.
And George, good work attending the meeting in your car.

This was a curious dream, since I've been having panic attacks for the past several days about finances: I've got surgery pending in two weeks, I have no money at the moment, no word on the PUA program, and when ny Social Security arrives, there isn't enough to pay the rent, my life insurance, my health insurance,. or my bills for cell phone, Time Warner, and utilities. What do I pay?
I've been very frightened and very unhappy. Only the cats see me cry.
So, just now, literally 10 minutes ago, I got a call from the NY State Dept. of Labor. My PUA has been approved, and payments should begin next Monday or Tuesday. It was a huge weight off my shoulders.
Continued vibes to vixmom and vixgrand!
I am feeling poorly.
Which means I match my bank account.

Good $$ news DR ELMORE.
My nephew who did not think he qualified for the stimulus payment....until I told him he did and showed him where to go to fill in info.....got his check today.
So I got a big thank you....which was nice.
Two Zoom meetings are done and I need FOOD. Maybe Jersey Mike's today - don't feel like pasta here.
Yeah, I think I had my new one on, I just waved and said Hi from a distance and leftMost of Iowa is open for business now.

Did you wear a mask when you went inside?
I'm sure they will it's been about 15 or 16 years since I was there lastJane,

Vibes you are pleased with the first vet when you return. I would be shocked if they didn't take you back.
It's late here. I'm going to try to sleep. night

John G, thanks for the Rhubread recipe. I'll have to try it
Yesterday I started coming out of my grief funk. Today was even better. I think all the diet coke helped
I am so looking forward to the next week. As I told my brother, I'm going to do the college student attitude, a little work here and there and the rest of the time do whatever I want to. Sort of a modified vacation. I have a couple clients in jail freaking out about the virus, so I really can't just say "Oh wait another week or two". I'll do what I can to get them out
George, tonight I finally got around to watching the Much Ado About Nothing you sent me. Wonderful stuff.

Wow, I can't believe the hand mixer still works.
Still phlegm-ridden - yesterday wasn't as bad, but today is bad again - will take a Claritin-D soon.
