Post by: bk on October 12, 2021, 12:09:02 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of HELL but hoped for some HEAVEN, and now it is time for you to post until the heavenly cows come home.

George, are you using that new printer that you bought?  Is it easier to add the ink?

George, are you using that new printer that you bought?  Is it easier to add the ink?

Yes, and YES!  It has four little bottles that you just tip onto the tank openings and they fit without needing to be held in place, and then they're all full.  I don't print very much, but unless the printer heads dry out, this is going to last a LONG time! 
Title: Re: NO MORE DAYS FROM HELL - ONLY HEAVENLY DAYS
Post by: George on October 12, 2021, 12:31:23 AM
Each bottle costs about $13 (the one time I checked right after I got it) and it came with eight, count 'em EIGHT bottles!  Each set of four bottles (the three colors and black) is estimated to last for two years of normal printing.
Title: Re: NO MORE DAYS FROM HELL - ONLY HEAVENLY DAYS
Post by: George on October 12, 2021, 12:40:21 AM
Actually, I don't know if one set of bottles is two years' worth of printing, or if the two sets are the two years' worth.  But either way, you don't have to fill the ink tanks very often at all, and you can fill each color independently.

My Smart Car looks just like the picture DR singdaw posted.....although mine is all white without the blue trim - and there are no longhorns in my neighborhood.

It is a 2011 - and they quit selling them in 2019, I think.  So once again I am driving an obsolete automobile.

I really enjoyed that one. I liked it much better than his Steve Jobs book, mainly because I did not like Steve Jobs as a person.

Good morning?  So what did I miss?

I think my school/life schedule is settling down finally.  Everything might be running smoothly now.  I do have some show gigs coming up that I'm quite jiggy about.  It will be great to get back into the pit again.  2 different productions of ...Spelling Bee and one of Mamma Mia which will bring me up to Thanksgiving. 

Sad news, I had to put DD Ben down a few weeks ago.  He had been declining the past month and we weren't sure what was going on until we found some swollen lymph nodes and the blood test pointed to cancer.  He is now out of pain.  DD Leo and I are working on our relationship as Leo has always been #3 in the pecking order (me being #1 and Ben being #2) but he's doing great.

That's all I have, it's great toi finally have a few minutes to say hi!

My insurance would not pay for an in-facility sleep assessment, but only for a home (overnight) assessment. So I got the equipment and hooked it all up, and guess what? I *still* registered as having sleep apnea! And got the CPAP. I know the insurance companies hate that, as it means them paying out a lot of bucks for a long time.

There's been investigation into the source for "Mr Karp," and he appears to be a combo of two drama teachers that Priscilla Lopez suffered through as a Puerto Rican drama student at the High School for Performing Arts.

Well, computer goes to the Apple Store tomorrow. My senior tech exhausted everything he could do. We did get the desktop for Big Sur as a test user, but it just won't find the Time Capsule back-ups. Again, in disc utility it does look like all my stuff IS on the hard drive, so hopefully they can extract from that or the Time Machine. I have to bring both things so hopefully they can extract from Time Machine while I'm there so I can bring it back home to use as my router, otherwise I'll have to buy a new router and hope I can figure out how to set it up because I can't get on the wireless from the guy in the back house - too far. So, probably another sleepless night, and I'm cancelling tomorrow's noon rehearsal.

I learned today that a close friend passed away a few weeks ago. She was in her eighties and had been under a lot of stress for many years. Then last Spring her daughter passed away. She hadn't been taking calls and now a heart attack. I will miss her.

I am sorry for the loss of you friend, and that she lost her daughter.

Hillary Clinton has a thriller called State of Terror about a treasonous, incompetent president. Sounds like fun.

And she co-wrote it with Louise Penny who writes the wonderful Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series.

When George came to visit me in Seattle, we went to Pike’s Place Market for some tourist shopping. One of the things I bought was a bag of porcini pasta. I made it for dinner tonight with friends. I sort of followed the recipe for the sauce, featuring a pound of various mushrooms (oyster, cremini, seafood and trumpet) sautéed with sherry, thyme and a lot if black pepper. Delish.
Title: Re: NO MORE DAYS FROM HELL - ONLY HEAVENLY DAYS

I only made about a third of the pasta, so I can repeat it a couple more times.

Good morning?  So what did I miss?

I think my school/life schedule is settling down finally.  Everything might be running smoothly now.  I do have some show gigs coming up that I'm quite jiggy about.  It will be great to get back into the pit again.  2 different productions of ...Spelling Bee and one of Mamma Mia which will bring me up to Thanksgiving. 

Sad news, I had to put DD Ben down a few weeks ago.  He had been declining the past month and we weren't sure what was going on until we found some swollen lymph nodes and the blood test pointed to cancer.  He is now out of pain.  DD Leo and I are working on our relationship as Leo has always been #3 in the pecking order (me being #1 and Ben being #2) but he's doing great.

That's all I have, it's great toi finally have a few minutes to say hi!

I'm so sorry, Matthew. :(

It does! Carl Hiaasen's last book was a comedy about murder and the Mara-Lago groupies around an incompetent idiot president and his wife.

That sounds like it's be a fun read! ;D

My insurance would not pay for an in-facility sleep assessment, but only for a home (overnight) assessment. So I got the equipment and hooked it all up, and guess what? I *still* registered as having sleep apnea! And got the CPAP. I know the insurance companies hate that, as it means them paying out a lot of bucks for a long time.

Good!  That's what insurance is for!

Well, computer goes to the Apple Store tomorrow. My senior tech exhausted everything he could do. We did get the desktop for Big Sur as a test user, but it just won't find the Time Capsule back-ups. Again, in disc utility it does look like all my stuff IS on the hard drive, so hopefully they can extract from that or the Time Machine. I have to bring both things so hopefully they can extract from Time Machine while I'm there so I can bring it back home to use as my router, otherwise I'll have to buy a new router and hope I can figure out how to set it up because I can't get on the wireless from the guy in the back house - too far. So, probably another sleepless night, and I'm cancelling tomorrow's noon rehearsal.

That's terrible! :o

It's been a weird couple of days.  Yesterday, I found out that my friend Rick died. :'( He and I met and became friends when we were in The Boy Friend together back in 1990.  I also met and became friends with his partner, then eventual husband, Scott. 
Title: Re: NO MORE DAYS FROM HELL - ONLY HEAVENLY DAYS
Post by: George on October 12, 2021, 11:18:16 PM
We all did a lot of theater together back in the day.  Rick created and directed a local AIDS benefit revue called Babes With Big Hair...and boy, was the hair big!  Rick was a hair stylist, so that's where that name came from. 
Title: Re: NO MORE DAYS FROM HELL - ONLY HEAVENLY DAYS
Post by: George on October 12, 2021, 11:19:53 PM
They were done for 11 years (I was in 9 of them) and raised a lot of money for local AIDS organizations.  Here's one of the only pictures that I have of the original cast from 1993.  Rick is on the far left, Scott is third from the left, and I'm right in the middle:

The shows were just a big mishmash of music, nothing spoken, but Rick was really good at putting a good show together.  I don't recall there being awkward song orders, or things like that.
Title: Re: NO MORE DAYS FROM HELL - ONLY HEAVENLY DAYS
Post by: George on October 12, 2021, 11:23:16 PM
There was, of course, a lot of emotion, happy and sad, and the big emotional ending song to send people back out into the world.  For several years, we actually got some AIDS Quilts panels that were hung as backdrops.

For the first couple of years, we used "God Save the People" from Godspell as the ending number, but then I told them about "You Are the Light" from Metropolis and they loved that song, so we used that as our ending number for several years.

Anyway, Rick had full-blown AIDS and a few months ago had stopped taking his meds, and had finally decided to end his life with dignity.  He lived a good long life.  He told me back in 1990 during The Boy Friend that he had AIDS (I don't know how long he'd had it at that point) and with medications, he lasted more than 30 years.
