Well, you've read the notes, the notes were posted on the first day of the tenth month, namely October, and now it is time for you to post until the October cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: ALCHEMY!
-
Well, this is pretty interesting...[Irish] Court rules Subway sandwiches too sugary to meet legal definition of ‘bread’ (https://nypost.com/2020/09/30/subway-sandwiches-dont-meet-legal-definition-of-bread-court/amp/).
-
TOD potato salad. I've been asked to bring it for every potluck.
-
Also, parmesan baked potatoes
-
So, one of the laserdiscs that I recently bought on eBay was Harry Connick Jr.'s The New York Big Band Concert, but what I received was Harry Connick Jr.'s Swinging Out Live. If I hadn't already purchased that from another eBay seller, I'd just keep it and call it good...especially since this incorrect item is new and sealed! But, I figure that I should at least let the seller know and see what options they'll give me, if any. If they just let me keep it, I'll keep it. If they want it back, they'll have to pay for shipping.
-
I have sent my message. Let's see when/if they reply.
-
And now, I must be off to sleep.
Have a good day, all!
-
Good morning, all!
-
Stella is determined she be fed at 5:00, so I got next to no sleep between then and 6:15. I am quite sleepy this morning.
-
I had one more "back to college" dream last night, although the details are too vague now to describe it.
-
DR Jeanne, I agree with you. Why would one's hatred for Kamala Harris. who certainly wasn't my first choice among Biden's options, cause them to vote for our international; disgrace, li'l Adolph? With all these threats that he and the GOP want to eliminate Social Security and Medicare, which I depend on, I'd think anyone in our age group - or getting close to retirement age - would want Trump out of office. Or dead.
-
DR singdaw, I'm happy you got good news from your appointment, thank God.
-
DR George, was your Harry Conick disc from an Amazon vendor?
-
Well, since I did not do it yesterday, I must step out and post some bills. I just can't say I'm eager to put on shoes and use the walker on the street. I need a sherpa.
-
I got a nice long email from my friend Charlie Harmon this morning. And that reminds me I owe our former DR Ben an email.
-
DR vixmom, how are you?
-
One wonders... does one play Bach, or Bachianas, in the Back house?
-
Thanks for all the well wishes on the medical stuff. I appreciate you all!
-
The Trivia night was fun and a great success. I won't insult you all by posting my Musical Theatre questions, however, as they're way too easy for all of you. These questions were posited for a more general audience.
-
Very glad to read that DR Matthew is COVID negative. That was a quick turnaround!
-
Today I return to a normal work (from home) schedule, so I won't be around here during the day today.
-
work vibes for DR singdaw.
-
My least favorite character on MARRIED WITH CHILDREN was the dad, ALCHEMY.
-
I wore absolutely the wrong shirt to the ZOOM rehearsal last night. I put on my virtual background.....and all that showed of me was my head and hands......
My blue eyes usually disappear too if I sit too close to the screen....
-
My chicken salad is very popular.....and I also make a pretty good meatloaf......
-
Today my cousin and I are going over to my uncle's house.
He wants us to hear a tape recording he has of a gathering of our aunts & uncles and our grandparents.
I have a feeling it will be a bit like listening to two hours of Charlie Brown's teacher.....but we shall see.
-
work vibes for DR singdaw.
Ditto!
-
I've had favorable comments for my vegetable beef soup and chicken stew.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Two!
-
Good morning!
-
I'm still operating in a different time zone. But I don't think it's either Eastern or Central.
-
I like it when ALCHEMY is the sports announcer.
-
I have signed up to usher tomorrow night. It feels rather strange. It's a socially distanced screening of Chicago, the movie.
-
Good Morning. While still in Distance Learning, we are preparing for a slow roll-out of kids coming back to school starting Tuesday. We are ready and have taken all the precautions. Our COVID addendum to our school handbook is a mere 120 pages. Certainly will be a challenging yet exciting week. I believe Kindergarten is coming in first. They will have their class in the gym. Others (1-8) will be split up into different classrooms (1-4 in the morning and 5-8 in the afternoon with cleaning in between) some students will still be learning from home, it was the parents choice whether or not they want their student back on campus. All students are on a hybrid program, meaning they will continue to do some subjects (<sigh> like mine) online and be in person for core subjects.
And these are the days of our lives.
-
Best of luck, Matthew.
-
Good morning, all.

Terrible night of sleep last night. Well, it was fine till I woke at 3:48 a.m. to go to the bathroom and turn the heat down a little. (We'd aired the house out yesterday with strong chilly autumn breezes, and had to turn it on yesterday evening.) Plopped back into bed, and I simply couldn't have been more wide awake. I hit the clock radio timer and listened to a classical music piece that turned out to be Tchaikovsky's Orchestral Suite No. 3, and I honestly don't believe I'd ever heard any of those. Still awake, though, so I kept re-hitting the timer every 60 minutes and laid awake till at least 6:15. My brain was doing the proverbial hundred miles an hour thing. I literally couldn't stop thinking about anything and everything.
-
Finally, as usually happens after a few hours of this, I did fall asleep for about an hour and a half, getting up at 8:30 which is late for me. And as also often happens in a late sleep like that, I had yet another of my epic dreams touching on several very familiar themes:
It's time to leave the office but my keys and wallet are nowhere to be found. In backtracking to find them, I hear the voice of my boss from 1988-1990, but decide I don't want to bother reconnecting with him at this time. Now the building is a familiar hodgepodge of the Cleveland Institute of Music (I have dreamed several times about this one particular corridor) and some old church or concert hall (that I know I've also dreamed before), a lobby with fancy arches around the 4 or 5 elevator doors, and then the Clorox headquarters building in Oakland CA that I visited in 1999 when they'd acquired our company.
I decide to take the elevator back up to the 4th or 5th floor, and realize I'm in underwear and a t-shirt. A couple of times I see piles of silver change (mostly quarters) on the floor but don't quite get to the point at which I start picking them up, Then I'm carrying some piece of aluminum foil or cellophane trash I did pick up, and I want to get rid of it but there's no wastebasket to be found, even when I go up to another floor which is teeming with people I never see in the daytime. I wonder if this is because of Covid, and I finally decide to be rude and drop it in the middle of this long staircase. Downstairs, I head outside where I have to walk, or preferably run, down this street and turn left and up a long block which runs uphill, and the place is covered with snow and it becomes one of those dreams in which you try to run and can't get moving.
Whew. I probably left out a couple of things, but that gives you the gist. :)
-
I vaguely remember watching TALK RADIO on cable many years ago, and not finding it very interesting. Years after that, I saw the original play at one of the local theaters, and I was entertained okay but still didn't find it very interesting.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
-
Good morning, all.
Hello, DR JohnG! I am happy you are safely home.

I decided to make my trip to the mailbox a trip to my pharmacy. I had two wonderful taxi drivers and I am very happy to be home.

BK had tuna. I was talking about my tuna salad the other day, and btw I very much appreciate the suggestions people offered.
Often, I'll eat it with a fork right out of the small mixing bowl I use. BK didn't like his on the hamburger buns, and I'm trying to think what I like it on when I make it as a sandwich. I think I do like the buns, but mainly if they're Martin's Potato Rolls which are a favorite indulgence for hamburgers and certain other things. A regular old bun, probably not. Anyway, that's if I don't have bread in the house. I mainly like it on a good multi-grain bread or even on some good old-fashioned squishy white bread.
-
Good morning.

TOD: I can't answer this question. I lived with such picky eaters who complained about most anything I cooked. I thought I was a bad cook until I started serving things at the church groups' meetings that I host. I got lots of compliments, which confused me.
-
Right now I guess I'd have to say sugar cookies. But I only attempt easy patterns. And they are usually served in fairly bad light, which helps.
-
I removed about ten more shrubs at the church this morning. Sooo many more to go.

Weird dreams in times of COVID are definitely a thing. Mine center around murders and hiding the bodies... yeah, I don't know....
-
I've had my share of murder (usually it's accidental but I still want to cover it up) and hiding the body dreams, but it's been quite a few years, I think, since one of those.
-
TOD:
I make this tart with plenty of butter and sugar topped with jam and almond slivers. People love them, ask for them and have come to expect them for birthdays and holidays. They’re better with homemade jam.
-
I also do a dense flourless chocolate cake. And my whiskey nut cake is a real holiday treat for anyone lucky enough to get a slice. I need to make that this week, so it can soak in whiskey for three months.
-
Thursday afternoon greetings! I've been online this morning with my sister (in Michigan) and niece (in Illinois) to watch a preview (from Iowa) on Facebook Live for the 2-day crafty event we're attending next weekend. All our tech worked as we'd hoped, so we're good to go - and it was fun!
-
glad to hear that DR JOHN G & JB are home.

DR CHAS SMITH the Dream-O-Matic 6000 has pointed out a few indicators in your dream.....
The presence of yourself at a former place of employment and seeing coins could mean that you should check to make sure that there is nothing at an old job that is still due to you....a website search or checking of documents concerning your separation from employment could prove profitable.
Of course silver coins and the fact that you did NOT pick them up, could also mean some difficult family situation will be brought up or that something you have refused to get involved in - refusing to take sides - will once again come to the fore. Again there is no need to reverse your set course.
Other things tell us that at times the current times and restrictions make you feel as if you are standing still and making no progress toward your well set goals. You do not have to move toward them....they will come to you.....beginning particularly in November new opportunities will come your way and if fact become so plentiful you will wonder where you'll find the time.

I'm up, I'm up - was up at seven-thirty after four hours of not enough sleep. I cannot turn on the air today, it's just going to give me a cold, which I feel I'm on the verge of getting thanks to having to have it on so much due to this wacko weather. So, I stayed up and went to the bank at ten to get that out of the way. Thankfully, there was no outdoor line at all and only three people in line indoors. I got to a teller in five minutes and everything went smoothly and I was out of there three minutes later. Their hours for months have been ten to four, but apparently yesterday they went back to their normal hours of nine to six and open again on Saturday - that's probably why there was no line today. So, that's a good thing.
-
I think I'll get back in bed and see if I can get another couple of hours.

If they want it back, they'll have to pay for shipping.
Well, that was quick. They seller said that they will refund my money and didn't say that I need to return it, so I have an extra copy. :) Now, I need to reorder the original title that I wanted.

am on hold with one doctor's office. Their hold messages go on forever.

If the numbers hold steady, Texas will surpass New Jersey as the state with the second highest number of covid-19 deaths today.
In fact, there are more deaths in my county than there are in all of Kentucky.

We need a video capture of that, DR Jrand70.
Also, think how embarrassing that would have been for the Invisible Man.

DR Jeanne, I agree with you. Why would one's hatred for Kamala Harris. who certainly wasn't my first choice among Biden's options, cause them to vote for our international; disgrace, li'l Adolph? With all these threats that he and the GOP want to eliminate Social Security and Medicare, which I depend on, I'd think anyone in our age group - or getting close to retirement age - would want Trump out of office. Or dead.
Because of their ties with the police department. They feel Harris is not a friend to them even though Biden has said he will not defund the police.
Jeanne in August the LA Times had an article, which I can't open, "Union leader tells Republican convention why cops back Trump".
Fortunately I know people with ties to police departments who are voting for Biden. They too are very unhappy with the word "Defund". I don't blame them.
-
Thanks for all the well wishes on the medical stuff. I appreciate you all!
We appreciate you and want to keep you around for a long while.
-
Very glad to read that DR Matthew is COVID negative. That was a quick turnaround!
Bryan's hospital doesn't use the quick tests as they have too many false negatives. I understand the reason to do those in this situation. If exposed to the virus or having symptoms I would recommend getting the test with a longer turn around.

John & Druxy how big are your counties?
Texas counties will each be limited to a single site for voters to drop off their mail ballots ahead of Election Day, under a proclamation issued by Governor Greg Abbott on Thursday.
Ginny it seems as if you only have one drop off spot in your county.
-
My county has one drop off location until October 16th and then it will have 20 locations. But then we are a vote by mail state.
-
I'm glad I captured this in time! :D
-
My county has one drop off location until October 16th and then it will have 20 locations. But then we are a vote by mail state.
There's a drop-off box in the Tumwater Library parking lot, which is just about a block and a half from where I live.

That is super convenient. Ours is a twelve minute drive.
-

;D Of course I was clueless.
-
If I sit here any longer I will eat. I need to turn on music and do aerobics except we are texting with the kids.
-
Up again - got another two-and-a-half hours of sleep.

One plays Bach and the Bachianas back to back.

I've been voting by mail for about ten years now and find it convenient. But this year I am concerned as Trump has threatened to disqualify all mail-in ballots. I'm not sure how he would do this, but some are recommending that as many people as possible don a mask and vote in person. It's quite a mess!
-
TTFN.

Can you drop that ballot into a box instead of mailing it?

DR JEANNE if you're not using a virtual background on ZOOM I think any color is okay.....the trouble is when you are using a green screen and a virtual background....
But I'm no expert!
-
Stay cool and NO COLD vibes for MR BK.
-
I should have done a screen capture....maybe next time.....just for fun.

I played a Judy Collins CD and Birdy Barnum went to sleep....

The Met is doing all Wagner next week, including the Ring cycle.
Oh no. DR Elmore will be glued to that all week! :)
Tonight/tomorrow is the Julie Taymor Zauberflöte. I saw that at the theater and I remember just not being in the mood that night. I will watch it tomorrow.
-
tonight's feature is I Was a Mail War Bride with Cary Grant and Ann Sheridan. It was made in Heidelberg while Mom was living there. She saw Grant shopping. It was a thrill for her. And I understand that.

Yes, it’s at the Board of Elections building, 15 miles from our house. We’ve been going there to vote early in person ever since I retired and we dropped our absentee ballot applications in the box late in August. We will also hand-deliver our ballots.
There was some talk of additional boxes being added, but our county is too red for that to stand a chance of happening.

I like the movie and can imagine how exciting it would have been for her to see him in beautiful Heidelberg.

While you are only 15 minutes away what is the farthest some need to drive?
-
15 MILES, DR Jane! It takes us about half an hour to get there, but we can have a drive-thru lunch or dinner nearby. I’d guess people who live in the northwest part of the county would have a longer drive.
-
Oh, no! Rachel Maddow just announced some sad news. Hope Hicks has tested positive for Covid-19. Hopefully, it won't spread throughout the president's family and closest people.
::)

;)
-
And now, I'm leaving work and heading home.
Be back later.
-
Good evening.
-
I just checked, and my county seems to have drop boxes in every city/town in the county.
-
I'm so glad to read so much good news from Dear Readers.
-
No news is good news from our house.
-
I had such a terrible dream the other night that I don't even want to know what it means.
-
I meant to post this morning but forgot: glad to see that DR John G. is home safely.
-
Thanks for the work vibes. I got through today very well. A little sore at the incisions from sitting so long in one place, but otherwise it went very well.
-
DR Jrand70 - the harvest moon tonight is gorgeous!!
-
~~~TEACHING AND SELF-CARE VIBES~~~ for DR Matthew!
-
TOD: I've always had great success with The Silver Palate's chicken marbella. But I use boneless breasts instead of bone-in pieces.
-
FIVE, dontcha know!
-
I'm Biden my time. See what I did there? I went to Gelson's and got stupid stuff for food - two chicken strips, a small thing of creamed spinach, and a small thing of stuffing, plus some shrimp for shrimp cocktail. I ate the hot items about three hours ago and am having the shrimp now. I can't imagine all in I'm even close to 800 calories let alone 1000.
-
I finished a movie and that's probably it for the day. May take a walk in a bit.

Tuna fish must be eaten on either toasted seeded rye bread, toasted onion bagel or very very fresh untoasted seeded rye.

So, Vixmom, what would you do with two jars of gefilte fish? I unpacked them today and was thinking they could head straight for the food bank drive. But who would pick them up?

Two-thirds of the way through Troubled Blood. Robert Galbraith/J.K. Rowling can deliver a good mystery. But is 900 pages really necessary? It's not Middlemarch. And yet, there are quotes from The Faerie Queen throughout, at the start of each chapter. I've never read that. I don't know if I want to.
-
I have had two short naps today. I wonder how many times I'll wake up in the middle of the night.
-
Trump's self-quarantine seems too suspiciously timed to avoiding the next debate.
-
I'm fading fast.

Good night, all.

Breaking news:
Tomorrow Verve is releasing a new Ella CD, from a concert sung in Berlin in 1962. Sounds wonderful.

When is garbage collection day?

Back from a brisk 2.5 mile walk - was pretty full from the shrimp and felt bloated, but shrimp is almost calorie-free. I still think that the worst case scenario, calorie-wise, would be no more than 800 and that's padding everything from the counts I saw when I Googled. Plus the walk.

Took an allergy pill just to be safe. I'm out of Gerther's pastilles but think more are coming tomorrow.

I heard about this and I plan on getting it!

Oh, no! Rachel Maddow just announced some sad news. Hope Hicks has tested positive for Covid-19. Hopefully, it won't spread throughout the president's family and closest people.
::)
Just in, they tested positive for the virus.
-
I just checked, and my county seems to have drop boxes in every city/town in the county.
Good.

(CNN)President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for coronavirus, the President announced early Friday morning, an extraordinary development coming months into a global pandemic and in the final stretch of his reelection campaign.
-
I just said that ;)
-
Actually I said they and was about to clarify I only meant the two of them and not the family.

Welcome home DR John. I hope your drive was uneventful.

This review is perfect. Ella is my favorite female singer.

Vibes Biden and his family stay well.

The cynics among us might think that this is a ploy to cancel the remaining debates after his horrid, off-putting performance last night AND get sympathy from his folks who'll conveniently forget that he made fun of Mr. Biden for taking precautions, and how he downplayed it, said it will just go away with the breeze, recommended ridiculous and dangerous "cures" for people to try - the cynics among us might think this is is biggest ploy yet to get sympathy rather than hatred, to distract from all the terrible things that everyone should be talking about and haven't been because of his endless distractions. He thinks the Democrats won't dare go after him now because it will make them seem like unfeeling jerks. Yes, the cynics among us might just be thinking these things.
-
Yes they might ;D
-
There's always hope. ;D
-
I am hoping this will encourage non mask wearers to wear them and social distance.
-
I wonder what Trump's fan clubs (racists, Proud Boys, etc.) will think or say about this. ::)
-
When the lights go out at night I don't talk as Keith often falls right to sleep. I check email on & then I read the news on my Washington Post app.
After reading the breaking news story I made the rare exception to the no talking rule ;D

PAGE SIX DANCE!!

If he pulls out of the election for health issues I don't know what will happen. If it is a mild case that too can have serious reprocutions.

Pence would become president. If it's before the election, I don't know if anyone would try to to postpone it.
-
Yes. Pence. I mean the results of the election. All the Republican votes that moved to Biden might go back to Pence.

Maybe if people hadn't voted yet, they might vote for Pence, but votes can't be moved after the votes have been cast.
-
I would expect it to happen before most people have voted. It really is a wait and see situation now.
