Title: FINDING PEOPLE
Post by: bk on June 03, 2020, 12:40:03 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes found the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the found cows come home.
Title: Re: FINDING PEOPLE
Post by: bk on June 03, 2020, 12:41:16 AM: And the word of the day is: SPECIFICITY!

Post by: George on June 03, 2020, 12:57:02 AM: Hi, jan. How's it going for you?
Title: Re: FINDING PEOPLE
Post by: George on June 03, 2020, 01:00:15 AM: So, I was able to send a returns request to the seller of 1917, but when I went to request a return for the frosting mix, I first see this:
Quote
Return policy update
Most items ordered from Amazon or our Seller partners between March 1 and April 30, 2020 can now be returned until May 31, 2020. For items purchased after April 30, 2020, the normal return window will apply, which is usually 30 days from the date of receipt of shipment.
Title: Re: FINDING PEOPLE
Post by: George on June 03, 2020, 01:05:20 AM: Okay, this is good, but next to my item, it says:
Quote
This item isn't eligible for return.

and there's a button:
Quote
SEE RETURN POLICY

When I click on that button, everything in the return policy seems to say that I can return my item because it's damaged, but there's no way to tell them that I want to return it because it's damaged! WTF?? :o
Title: Re: FINDING PEOPLE
Post by: George on June 03, 2020, 01:07:06 AM: So, since I didn't open it, I think I'm just going to write "Refused - Return to sender" on the package and send it back. Let them figure it out. :P

;)

Post by: Druxy on June 03, 2020, 04:46:06 AM: Today, I'm mailing out 4 signed copies of my new play, BUD ABBOTT ALONE, all to the same person. He is going to give copies to his friends.

Apparently, Abbott and Costello are still very popular.

The play is selling quite well, and I'm about to cast an audio version.

Title: Re: FINDING PEOPLE
Post by: bk on June 03, 2020, 06:11:56 AM: Yes, Second Sight - the only thing missing from the limited edition is the CD of the score, which I'm sure you already have on Kritzerland. All the extras are on the regular edition.
Title: Re: FINDING PEOPLE
Post by: bk on June 03, 2020, 06:12:28 AM: Maybe it wasn't a good idea to eat all that ice cream at one-thirty in the morning. Back to bed.

Post by: Jrand74 on June 03, 2020, 06:47:18 AM: My question for ASK BK DAY - was Capital Records always Capital Records? The internet says Capitol.....but I keep seeing some people writing it as Capital Records. So I guess those folks are wrong.

It seems to me I have seen it written as Capitol Records....and in THE WILD GUITAR that is what seems to be on the top of the building....at 1:35 during the credits...

Post by: bk on June 03, 2020, 12:09:14 PM: I did a Ralph's delivery for today because apparently the markets are once again being deluged by the hoarders. Already I've gotten a slew of texts about replacement items, the shopper can't complete the order, is completing the order, blah, blah, blah. We'll see what I get, but these shoppers tend to go to the smaller Ralph's rather than super Ralph's five minutes from here.

Post by: Jeanne on June 03, 2020, 05:05:07 PM: I saw the chiropractor today, then had an appointment at the new bank. The bank is right around the corner from Little Japan, an area I used to frequent before my favorite tiny restaurant closed. I hadn't been there in several years, so I took a little walk to check things out. Businesses are starting to reopen. There are a number of small, usually rather crowded restaurants that cater to a young crowd. I'm concerned about the lack of social distancing, but I don't go there. I'll return when I have some free time.

I have recently had several people ask me why I don't do a podcast. I have no idea how such a thing would even happen, where it would live, or why anyone would listen to it. Any ideas?

I don’t listen to podcasts or watch short videos, unless Chita Rivera or Judy Kuhn is in them, but they’re all the rage.

My other question for ASK BK DAY:

What do these theatre companies, etc, do about performance rights for the songs they are doing in their virtual shows?

Nothing at all. They're all banking on the performance societies turning a blind eye, which they are. Most of these things are couched as benefits and that's one reason it's okay. And the at home concerts are at home. I think everyone knows this will not be going on much longer.
Title: Re: FINDING PEOPLE
Post by: bk on June 03, 2020, 08:28:32 PM: In other news, we had a calmer day yesterday, and today was even calmer due, I think, to the fact that the other officers were charged, which is what everyone wanted. But on Facebook it's almost like the people there WANT this to continue - it gives them something to post about, and they actually stoke it like a fire. I do not understand this. If everyone would just shut for ten minutes, things would calm down - no one wants more looting and fires and small businesses being harmed beyond repair - we've just come off eleven weeks of people having to watch their businesses go to hell, and we've now had six or seven days or protests and we need some healing time and calm. And the most amazing thing is there has not been a peep about Covid or pandemic in a week - like it didn't exist, like it's okay for thousands of people to go be an inch apart, most not wearing masks. If that's all good, just open up everything. If it's not good, something's gotta give somewhere.

Title: Re: FINDING PEOPLE
Post by: vixmom on June 03, 2020, 08:55:25 PM: I think if the four officers had all been arrested and charged immediately there would not have been this nationwide, hell, worldwide series of protests. But now there have been so many other instances of videoed brutality that I am afraid the protests will continue for some time.

Post by: George on June 03, 2020, 11:32:58 PM: The reason that I'm going to participate in the Zoom meeting from home is because my current desktop computer at work doesn't have a camera, and even though my laptop will become my new work computer, I think a couple of people who work in my area will be at their desks tomorrow, but they won't be part of the Zoom meeting, and I don't want to disturb them.

Post by: bk on June 03, 2020, 11:34:20 PM: After canvassing the cast, the show will go on on Sunday. I feel strongly about it - that those who are not up to watching it can watch it in a week or two, but that some could use an eighty-minute bit of respite and I also feel the show has several songs of hope, which I think is important. I also feel that music is a healing art. I also feel that people shouldn't dictate to others what they should and shouldn't do in terms of getting through the day and trying to bring a little sunshine in the room, albeit even briefly. We'll just do the show - we're not going to make a big deal about it or push it too much - I'll just eBlast to the people who I know will appreciate it, I would hope you dear readers will appreciate it, and that's that. And hopefully things will be a bit calmer by Sunday.
