This morning, if I can dump the garbage - the laundry room was not cleaned out last week, and it was a complete disaster yesterday. The building management is ignoring my two emails I sent last week complaining about the situation, which infuriates me. I got garbage and litter sitting here since last Saturday I need to dispose of.

Well, what a week so far. Yesterday could only be called:  classic.

The power company trucks were in our driveway pretty much all day. But they did their digging and got the underground repair made, so by 5 pm or so we were back on full power.

However, the cable (TV, phone, internet) never came back. They're sending a technician out today to find the problem. So in the meantime, I'm still using my phone as a hotspot in order to be online, either on the iPad or the Mac. It's a slow-ish connection, and heavy duty stuff like video doesn't do well, but having it makes all the difference.

I just sent my landlord AJ Clarke my third email. Nothing's been done to clean out the garbage, and the basement is a complete mess. I'm calling the Board of Health today. I emailed them to klet them know I would be calling.

HA!  The link may have been for subscribers only.....who knows.....

The show last night had an audience of 43 - we had sold 45 tickets.

There were a few laughs but not many.....hopefully there will be more appreciative audiences as the run goes on.....but it is NOT well directed or acted.

Jan just seems angry and irritated all the time without any of the charm of Miss Doris Day - and as DR TCB intimated last night, our Brad is not.....much to look at...and he sings "Inspiration" incorrectly.

DR John G - the clay pot I was thinking of is primarily manufactured by Romertopfs.

I have a house full of dishes, including some clay dishes I’ve never used. I’ll stick with my Dutch oven. But here is a short, interesting take.

I'm such an obsessive fan.  I ordered my copy - signed by the Lord himself - from Amazon UK.  Don't know when it's coming, but I'm hoping that the recording will show up on the normal streaming services on Friday - cuz - that's how I plan to spend my day LOL.    I'm just a "little" excited!!!!

Good Morning!  Wonderfully cold, overcast and windy day (sarcasm).  I plan to spend most of my day transposing music for church on Sibelius (the software not the composer). This evening, I'm heading to the local mall for some errands and then seeing "Cruella" for the second time - this time in one of those theatres where they bring you your food etc... Or whatever they do now.

Cable is fixed!

Our line runs from a pole that's a couple of hundred feet away on an adjacent property. The wiring up there hadn't been looked at or touched in probably several years, and it was rotten. He did some snipping and splicing, and Bob was our uncle.

That Naughty Marietta recording is pretty good, but the conductor - a big Victor Herbert enthusiast - proved on his next recording Rose-Marie that he wasn't a very good conductor. I wish he had recorded the three cut numbers; I am dying to hear "Mr. Voodoo!"

I just got notification that my order for the London cast recording of Andrew Lloyd Webber's brand new musical version of Cinderella (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08M83X8JK/) is going to arrive on Friday!  AND the studio recording of Naughty Marietta (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B093RMYFN4/) with Judith Blazer will be arriving on Monday! :D

I'm such an obsessive fan.  I ordered my copy - signed by the Lord himself - from Amazon UK.  Don't know when it's coming, but I'm hoping that the recording will show up on the normal streaming services on Friday - cuz - that's how I plan to spend my day LOL.    I'm just a "little" excited!!!!

How/where did you order it signed??  I never heard anything about that!  (And how much did it cost??)

There was a thing on the Andrew Lloyd Webber Fan Club page on the Facebook.  It cost £22.28   (approx $30) which isn't bad for a double CD from London. 

Darn!  I would've paid that piddley amount!  I didn't even know about the Andrew Lloyd Webber Fan Club page on the Facebook. :-\

I just invited you!

Went to Jollibee tonight. The fried chicken was very good. Better than Popeyes. But the gravy was substandard, and the adobo rice was nothing special.

Watching the end of Secret Lives of Dentists. It's good. I wish it were a little better. But it has a few wonderful Alan Rudolph touches, and a really good use of music.

This time after entering my ss# a recording played acknowledging completion of my proof of identity and telling me to call back in 14 days

Somehow, DR vixmom, you need to be connected with NY Dept of Labor and ID.me, where they verify your photo and documednts. Once I completed my ID.me interview I was on unemployment within five days.

Here's teir link: https://www.id.me

Can you contact them and ask about the situation?

I’ve completed the ID me , did that yesterday and they acknowledge it, but I can’t get past the SS screen in the application process because it says I previously enrolled with a different user name .  I can only conclude it’s the user name set up by the fraudster

DR vixmom, my friend Mimi was in a similar position as you, and Jessica Gonzalez Rojas helped her. You ,oght contact her and see if she can advise you.

Thank you.  I contacted my assemblymans office yesterday and “Dan” said he would reach out to the dept of Labor and have a caseworker contact me within a  week

Resisting the impulse to stop and provide a well deserved kicking to Mr. Helpful

Have you paid for anything yet?  It might be easier to go to your local Costco (if you're a member) or something like that and just get it done there.  If I were you, I'd never step foot in that place again - if you have other options. 

Yes I’ve already paid for the tire

Unless I'm mistaken, I do think our little stalker showed up on Goodreads - several mediocre reviews by the same person on the Hofstetter books - first she left a good review for Patrick Bronstein Presents and my question would be how did this person even know about the book, seriously. She then says that book led her to the Hofstetter books so she tried Murder at the Masquers first, if I remember correctly. The style or writing is a big red flag and of course she makes it very personal, using my name over and over again, and then even makes a comment about my dedication to the Darling Daughter, trying to imply something ridiculous. Nobody does that crap but her. And since she didn't like the book, would you then believe she'd read and review three others, because that defies credulity, does it not? She showed up on Goodreads in 2020 and hasn't been back. She reviews a few other books, but none are personal like these are. It smells.

It’s specially formulated for silver hair and Vixdad and I both use it

I tried using that kind of shampoo, but after about three weeks it started turning my hair blue.
