Well, you've read the notes, the notes had more pepperoni than the pizza, and now it is time for you to post until the pepperoni cows come home.

And the word of the day is: SOBRIQUET!
-
Topic of the Day: in my multi-region Blu-ray player: the movie version of ALW's Phantom of the Opera, but it's the PAL/Region 2 DVD from France (https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B01MD2EAAY/). A couple of weeks ago, I was wondering if there ever was a French language cast recording, but it turns out that there isn't! What's that all about?? Then, I did some searching and found the French DVD that has the French language soundtrack, and I have to say that I actually like the French language voices more than the English language voices. ::) I still don't love the movie version in general, but I really like the idea that this English language musical that's set in France actually has a French version.
:)

And now, I'm off to bed.
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning, all!
-
DR George, I forgot to mention your dad's birthday yesterday. I hope he had a wonderful day.
-
I need to call my pharmacy thius morning and see if my prescription refills were sent from my doctor;s office.
-
Last night I watched the complete convention on CNN. I don't know why it was completerly broadcast the night before. I loved the 13-year-old boy and the other witnesses to Biden's humanity, and I thought his acceptance speech was very good. I did not stay around for any commentators because I needed some sleep,
-
Que la guerre commence!
-
If my pharmacy has my prescriptions, I'll pick them up tomorrow, but I'm staying home today. I've got the recyclables and paper trash to cart to the basement, and I need to vacuum.
-
Good morning, all.
-
That compleat fool Mike Pence is on CBS This Morning, spreading his lies and utter bullshit. His comments reinforce my opinion that next week's convention will be a tugboat of fools.
-
I usually don't order the SOBRIQUET because it's so expensive.
-
Good morning, all.
-
I’ve never seen PRESSURE POINT and would certainly like to.
-
I remember when motel bathrooms had little cakes of SOBRIQUET.
-
Friday afternoon greetings! I slept until almost 9am, which is quite late for me. Must be a low-gear day.
-
Belated happy birthday to DR George's father!
-
Yes, I too was remiss in sending birthday greetings to George’s Dad
-
Happy Belated Birthday Mr. D!
-
We are still on page one?
-
I took the recyclables to the basement, vacuumed, revised an A&T chapter, and then lay down with the cats for a nap.
-
I want to go down and get the mail before I feed the cats.
-

Thanks, Larry! I assume he did, but I'll find out tonight. :)

I just ordered refills for one of mine. I've always gotten them through the mail. Hopefully, they'll get here early next week...they normally only take a few days. :-\

Belated happy birthday to DR George's father!
Thanks, Ginny!
-

No problem!
-
Happy Belated Birthday Mr. D!
Thanks, Vixmom!
-
Good afternoon!
-
Page 2!
-
I'm up, i'm up - nine and a half hours of needed sleep - was up at one and have caught up on everything.
-
Except for the reason we've JUST begun page TWO?
-
Forgot that Zoom stuff isn't till three-thirty.

I have encountered a problem that MR BK wrote about in the notes recently.
A FLY has invaded my home environment. However this is not just ANY FLY. He buzzes around flaunting his flyness in front of me.
However when I pick up the FLY EXTERMINATING Device - he somehow becomes invisible - and does not remove his cloak of invisibility until I put the FED away.
I am not sure which law enforcement or military entity to call with this information.

A couple of nights ago, I went into my upstairs bathroom and there were five, count 'em, FIVE flies flying around! :o I quickly shut the bathroom door and decided that I wasn't going to leave until they were all dead.
-
I had an empty cardboard tube from some paper towels as my FLY EXTERMINATING Device. I was actually able to hit two of them as they were flying! That knocked them out and I was able to use some TP to pick them up and squish them (TMI, I know ;) ).
-
It took a while, but I was able to wait until each of the other three landed and swat them with my cardboard tube. Mission accomplished! ;D
-

Wow, how wonderful.
-
We do not have a fly exterminating devise. We use a clean plastic glass and cardboard to trap and release. It works well for spiders.
-
Today I had my first haircut in seven months. Yesterday my hairdresser began a new job since the place near my home closed. While not very convenient, as in I can't walk to it anymore, the salon was very nice. I was impressed with all of the precautions that were taken, including signing an x for me where my signature goes on the credit card machine.
-
I washed and dried my hair this morning. My hairdresser used a flat iron to even out my hair before cutting it. Hair dryers understandably are not permitted.

I do try to catch and release spiders when I can...especially when they're really big and scary! :o

;D
-
And now, I'm off to my weekly Phase 10 playing with the parents.
Be back later.

How can we STILL be on page two???
-
Zoom rehearsals are done and went well.
-
good evening, all.
-
except there ain't an all around, is there?
-
I had a very long day at work today.
-
I have a new project I'm working on that is rather amoeba-like.
-
I'm more of a crossword puzzle worker.
-
I like a framework.
-
When I tried to guess what other people need, I have a tendency to second and third guess things.
-
But it is what it is.
-
And I must do it.
-
And so I will.
-
But thankfully I don't have to get back to it until TUesday.
-
Let's move on ...
-
Three!
-
I decided to take Monday off.
-
Then one of the other two leads decided to take the day off, but he didn't tell us.
-
I felt bad about leaving the other lead alone on a day she has plenty to do.
-
But she said she'll just put her big girl panties on and do it.
-
Well, she didn't use those exact words.
-
Then I went to Kroger for some shopping.
-
The weather was quite delightful. It was about 78 degrees out.
-
I finished paying for the groceries and went out to discover that a thunderstorm had started.
-
I had to make a dash for the car.
-
I didn't melt.
-
Tonight we watched a rerun of America's Got Talent, Mom's favorite.
-
That was followed by her second favorite, Dateline.
-
Somehow I managed to squeeze in about 45 minutes of Miss Congeniality, which I love. It was filmed in Austin and San Antonio. Always nice to see both cities in a few of the exterior scenes.
-
I also think the script, for all its nonsense, is fairly well constructed. And the casting of Michael Caine, William Shatner and Candice Bergin works beautifully.
-
And Sandra Bullock is a hoot.
-
So, strange, but I checked out Facebook, which I do on a monthly basis. There was a posting from a group for people who used to work at the San Antonio paper. I looked at the page and there were eight obituary notices posted since late May. I wonder what's happening.
-
It's a good enough reason to stay away from Facebook.
-
Thankfully, I didn't actually know any of them.
-
I haven't had a lot of reading time lately. TV will interfere with that.
-
But I've been trying to listen to The Darwin Affair.
-
I'm afraid it's not much of a book.
-
It's more like the treatment for the screenplay. It might make a good movie.
-
There's no character development, and the violence is a little much.
-
I'd give it up, but I only have an hour left to listen to.
-
At that point, I might as well finish it up.
-
Oh, look, page four is nearing.
-
Or, nearing is page four.
-
is page four nearing?
-
Let's see ...
-
Four!
-
Hello, 0 guests!
-
Good night, all.
-
Had Jack in the Box for earlier food and not only did they once again screw up the taco order, they also forgot the onion rings - so I got credited for those. Annoying. So, I just made some right with sautéed onions and butter and that was very good.
-
Didn't end up watching anything tonight.
-
And now listening to music - Barbirolli's magnificent set of the Sibelius symphonies - I had the set already, but this remastering is, in subtle ways, better - cleaner, clearer, and crisper.
-
I do have to get out of here in a bit to take a little drive.
-
Back from a brief drive.
-
From a brief drive I'm back.
-
And as if that weren't enough, brief from a back I'm drive.
-
Did you know that if you add one letter to drive you get drivel?
-
Eating some peanuts, just in case anyone was interested.
-
But she said she'll just put her big girl panties on and do it.
That was nice of her.
-
Well, she didn't use those exact words.
;D

Fun, sweet nonsense.

Yup.

Hi, Jane.
-
Good evening.
-
I'm home after playing two games of Phase 10 with the parents and their friends.
-
Hi, Tom.
-
I did a little shopping before I came home, so that took a little time.
-
I didn't melt.
Awwwww, but you are still sweet, JohnG.
-
I got home, fed my cat and took my evening meds.
-

You made onion rings out of sautéed onions?

That's what I was thinking!
-
I was going to start making the Pick Your Flavor Pie for my dad's birthday celebration tomorrow, and then make and eat my burgers while the pie was cooking (as late as it is), but I didn't realize that even though the pie dough had been in my fridge since last night, it STILL needs to defrost on the counter for another hour!! :o
-
So, since it's warming up on the counter I made my cheeseburgers with my newly acquired mayo!
-
:D
-
I'm home after playing two games of Phase 10 with the parents and their friends.
You didn’t say you won, so I am guessing that you didn’t.

I forgot to mention it...I won the second game! ;D
-
And just because, here is a picture of my cheeseburgers:
-
They were pretty darned good!
-
Hi, George.
-
The pie crusts have another half hour to go. ::)
-
Today was lunch with friend, Sharry.
-
FIVE!!
-
Today was lunch with friend, Sharry.
How was it? How are Sharry and Micheal doing?
-
When I say friend; I mean my friend, Jane’s friend, and George’s friend.
-
Sharry got very emotional when we first saw each other.
-
We had not seen each other since February.
-
That's sweet!
-
We had a lovely lunch together.

She told me some very private stories that she had never told me before.

Oh! Any you can share? In a PM, maybe? ;)

No obligation, of course!!

No, probably not.
-
Most of them involved a mutual friend who died just three weeks after Sharry’s husband died.

What?? Micheal died?? Or did a former husband die?
-
No. Sharry’s second husband died.
-
She woke up the morning after Thanksgiving, and found him dead on the kitchen floor.

Oh, no! :(
-
How long ago was that? Do you know?
-
Well, the pie crusts have been warming on the counter.
-
Let's see if it's pliable enough to make my Pick Your Flavor Pie!
-
They are!
-
And now...
-
...since we're so close, it's the...
-
PAGE SIX UNROLLED PIE CRUST DANCE!!
-
:D
-
Dick died almost thirty years ago, I would imagine. Sharry and Micheal have been married for 27 years.
-
Wow. I had no idea.
-
Do you know anything about her first husband?
-
Actually, Dick was her second husband. Yes, I knew him. He was well known in Northwest theater, mostly as a director.
-
I typed "rice" and it changed to "right" - what does "I made right" mean - I made rice with sautéed onions. I gotta tell you.
