Well, you've read the notes, the notes had no morning meltdown, and now it is time for you to post until the morning cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: CAPACIOUS!
-
I'm very excited to see Backstage at Kritzerland! Can't wait!
-
Off to bed.
Have a good day, all!
-
I am disappointed that Sasha and DR TCB must wait until Wednesday to be reunited.
-
I am curious why Gelsons does melon cubes, when everyone else does melon balls. Do they taste differently, I wonder?
-
I wonder as I wander.
-
I just got back from picking up a prescription at the 24-hour pharmacy. Thankfully, there was no one else in the store.
-
They say masks are required for entrance, but they don't enforce it.
-
DR TCB - I would be happy to stay on medical leave and post away.
-
Good morning, all!
-
DR elmore3003, Nice Matin looks like a lovely place to dine.
-
Don't be afraid of Covid-19? God, I hope this idiot loses.

I'm surprised he didn't die so he could rise from the dead after three days.

I realized I purchased my first DVD several years before I had a DVD player. John Yap called me from London and asked me to run down to Tower Records and purchase for him the newly released DVD of Little Shop of Horrors, which had been recalled. So, I headed down to Tower, which was at Lincoln Center, and purchased one for John and one for myself.
-
Favorite Mancini score? Victor/Victoria or Charade.
-
the newly released DVD of Little Shop of Horrors, which had been recalled.
The one with the infamous original ending?

Yes.

I mentioned my first Beta tapes, CDs, and laserdiscs. I didn’t get a DVD player till 2000 or 2001, and my first DVD was South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut. A couple that I recall getting soon thereafter were the Fantasia box set and a crappy copy of Asylum.
My first Blu-ray, around Christmas 2008, was the Blade Runner set, followed soon thereafter by How the West Was Won and I’m thinking Disney’s Cars was an early one. It took quite a while for the types of releases I wanted to begin showing up on that format — which is exactly what has happened with 4k, and I haven’t taken that plunge at all.
-
As I get older, I find that making sound effects definitely helps me get up and down from things, like chairs.
-
Frst Mancini records were Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Charade, and The Pink Panther. No question about those, and I played them to death. Later, The Great Race. I didn’t catch up with Peter Gunn and Mr. Lucky till years later.
I honestly don’t think there’s been a Mancini score I didn’t like. All-time favorites would be those first three plus Experiment in Terror and Wait Until Dark. Later favorites were 10 and Victor Victoria, but as I type this, I’m remembering very little about those scores.
-
DR elmore3003, Nice Matin looks like a lovely place to dine.
It sure does. Congratulations again on getting out and enjoying a meal with good friends. It’s one of life’s little luxuries that will be so welcome when it really comes back.

Well, the sad story is I have not slept at all. Was in bed at twelve-thirty and the brain was and is on overload, no matter what I do. Cannot fall asleep. I honestly don't know how I'll get through the day, I'm on the verge of canceling Sunday's show and the November show because I can't function like this. There is no way I won't get sick from it - I can feel it happening already and have been fighting it for five or six days. I don't want to sleep ten hours or twelve hours I just want eight hours a day. I would have taken an hour or two but with the stupid tree people coming that won't happen either.
-
OMG - sleeping vibes for MR BK.
Once when I had terrible back pain.....I bought one of those knee braces with a bump on the inside that you put near the sciatic nerve.....and it certainly helped.
It's called BeActive.....here it is at Amazon....but it may be available at Walgreen's....

When I needed new dance shoes, I always bought a pair of CAPACIOUS...but you had to try them on.....
-
TOD:
The Pink Panther & Hatari! for "Baby Elephant Walk."
I also purchased Breakfast at Tiffany's and Peter Gunn!

BK, you never mention doctors or checkups. Are you sure you don't need to see one? I ask because I love you and I worry about you.

Pain wasn't the issue last night - that seems to have abated - it was total brain overload - I could not shut down.

Is it bad luck to eat a fortune cookie without reading the fortune? Asking for a friend....

The normal schedule of the outdoor pool in the apartment complex where we live is that it opens for Memorial Day weekend and closes after Labor Day weekend.
This year, there was a several week delay in opening because they had to dig up the concrete decking (twice) to find and repair some leaks.
In compensation, they have tried to leave the pool open longer.
But there is a cognitive dissonance that arises when you see the person skimming the pool wearing a coat and gloves.

I am still finding and removing adhesive from both arms where the IV ports were attached! Ick. It's persistent stuff.

Calming and sleep vibes for MR BK.

Good afternoon!

Lots of vibes for BK.

Only one more day till TCB and Sasha are reunited!

I had to drag out the little ladder, take care of a storage issue, and now I'm ready for a week at the Mayo Clinic.
-
Good afternoon, all.
-
I got new silicone tube pans to make the whiskey nut cake. I didn’t realize they were smaller. So now I have two cakes fresh out of the oven.
-
They need to be wrapped in cheesecloth and then marinated in whiskey for several months. These are for Christmas.

I wonder as I wander.
But not all who wander are lost. ;)

I bought one of those recalled DVDs of Little Shop of Horrors, but on eBay, and years later. ::) It wasn't cheap...but worth it, at the time! I have since purchased the restored Blu-ray!

Bruce your lack of sleep explains your early FB response on my behalf this morning. I suppose I set myself up with my question on his page yesterday. Thank you for responding.

Eating the cookie without removing the fortune would be even sadder.

I have a Microsoft Word question: does anyone know how to do a universal search to accomplish something, like make one space between a period and a new sentence. A relic of my old typing days, I usually do two spaces, but that appears to be politically incorrect now.
-
I have a Microsoft Word question: does anyone know how to do a universal search to accomplish something, like make one space between a period and a new sentence. A relic of my old typing days, I usually do two spaces, but that appears to be politically incorrect now.
Yes. I do this all the time. Hit "Ctrl+H" and the Find and Replace box will pop up. In the Find what: box, type ". " (that's period-space-space). Then in the Replace with: box, type ". " (period-space). Then, you can click on the Replace All button.
I usually just find two spaces and replace with one space in general and just keep clicking the Replace All button until there are no more double spaces in my document. Just be specific on what you want to find and what you want to replace it with. :)
-
A year or so ago I'd heard and read so much about how the two spaces had always been technically incorrect, that I determined right then and there to change my own habits. After a couple of days of posting and whatnot, I got used to doing it and I'm happy with that.
The colon, likewise, is supposed to have only one space after it, and we were taught to use two for the same reason.

I'd read that the change was made when computer word processing and printing came into common use. The look of the document when printed on a typewriter was more suited for two spaces, whereas the computer generated printing made the single space look better.

Oh, no. I wasn't a specific fan, but this is sad. Eddie Van Halen, Hall of Fame Guitarist Who Revolutionized Instrument, Dead at 65 (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/eddie-van-halen-dead-200051/).
This article just says that he died from cancer, but another one that I'd read specified throat cancer. :-\

Periods and spaces periods and spaces.....
That just reminds me of my biggest argument with my typing teacher. During a 5-minute timed typing test - you got your words per minute from the margin in the book. If you typed this far, you typed 65 words per minute.
Then you had to count your errors and deduct that number from 65 wpm. I kept saying but I made all of those errors in FIVE minutes.....the errors should be divided by FIVE as well.....I typed 64 wpm and made 1 mistake in FIVE minutes.
NOPE.....he looked at me like I was crazy.....

Good Afternoon!! The Kindergarten class made their debut on to campus this morning and they are very cute! I've seen them on Zoom, of course, but it's the first time on campus. The are situated in the gym and in our upper hall - 6 feet apart, no more than 20 in a cohort. 5th grade comes tomorrow and in 2 weeks, we welcome 2 more classes - one in the morning and one in the afternoon. It's great to see the kids!
I'm heading home now, and will check in again later. Stay safe everyone!
-
Well, I ended up getting between four and five hours of sleep, thanks to the tree people not showing up when they were supposed to. I woke up again at eleven and the tree noise was intense. I had stuff to catch up on and then at one I got down to the stuff I had to get done and did all that.
-
Then I went to the mail place and picked up packages. And the ballot came today, too.
-
Then I decided a good meal would make me happy, so I ordered CPK - a roasted garlic chicken pizza (it's small - under 800 calories), and a small Caesar for greens.
-
I'm still a bit groggy.

Only our voting pamphlet arrived today.
-
Pizza was great. They'd removed it from the menu years ago, and I had no idea they'd brought it back. Caesar for later. Very full right now.
-
I am exhausted. And I don't know what more I've been doing.
-
I made a pot of lentil soup for dinner. I hope it's good. Vegetarian with a dollop of sour cream and lemon added at the end.
-
It needs another 10 minutes or more to finish up.
-
I hope I have the patience for the movie I want to watch tonight, Martin Scorsese's Silence. Or least get halfway through it.

I agree, I find there’s a lot of groaning accompanying rising from a kneeling position these days

I can't imagine why anybody would ever remove a Garlic Chicken ANYTHING from a menu. :)

We're in a documentary groove here lately. Tonight, one about Bill Cunningham, the "fashion documentarian" famous for his street photography in New York City.
Then, another one on film critic Pauline Kael.
Both enjoyable; both on Netflix.

And now, I must leave. My sister wants me to print a couple copies of a picture of my dad when he was in high school so that she can send it to our aunts, so I'll print those, then bring them over to her...then, I'll get something to eat.
Be back later.

I think so! I was in and out all morning dealing with tech issues, and they seemed to be happy with their masks on!
-
Silence was powerful, but the torture scenes were exceptionally hard to take.
-
I've got plenty to do before I can turn in. Got some cakes to wrap and start soaking.
-
Finished with my viewing.
-
Despite being super overtired, I'm actually feeling a bit better tonight, so let's hope that holds. And I have zero plans for tomorrow so can sleep as late as I want and I'll get to bed early.
-
I think I did go over the calorie count today, but that's the first time in almost six weeks and I think that's fine. The pizza, if one believes the CPK site, was under 800. I think the Caesar was probably about 400, so not terribly over but even if I went to 1500 it would be fine for one day.
-
Now I'll listen to some music.
-
Where in tarnation IS everyone?
