Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of a birthday lunch, and now it is time for you to post until the lunching cows come home.

And the word of the day is: EXPEDITIOUS!
-
Good morning to all.
-
I watched the documentary about the James Bond music and theme songs last night and there is a concert movie that goes along with it that I will give atry

BK
KRITZERLAND books. Would you like it as three movies or mini/limited series of perhaps 8-10 one hour episodes per book?
-
Good morning, all!
-
I slept okay, but my sinuses and nose are so clogged that breathing has been difficult. I had dreams and recall very little.
-
DR singdaw, I understand completely your comment about being sick for the first time in two years. This malaise is workingt my last nerve. Yesterday I spent at least 60% of my waking day in bed.

DR JohnG, congratulations on your job offer.

Good morning.
-
Sounds like you had a great birthday, BK.
-
Get well soon, Singdaw and Elmore!

I love that picture of you and Richard, BK!

John G I forgot to answer your second pie question. Personally, I would lose the celery and add the peas.

I love mushrooms but never thought to make them into a pie

Am I allowed to Wordle today?

Was it only a 24 hour job action?

Good morning, all.

We managed to survive our Get What You Pay For performance, and are back in the game for tonight. Unfortunately, the Friday attendance levels are sucking royally. Hopefully, this one will improve through the day. Saturday is decent, and the Sunday matinee is sold out. ‘Tis the season.
-
The lunch with Richard Sherman sounds wonderful. And what a great photo!
Speaking of whom, you know what? It’s hard to believe that EIGHT YEARS have gone by since the Kritzerland show in NYC.
Like, wtf? Are you kidding me??
Methinks it’s time for another.
-
Good morning, friends.
-
Lovely birthday photo with Richard Sherman.
-
I have called out sick from work again today. Physically, I think I could work, but my voice sounds like an old toad.
-
Thanks for the well wishes, at any rate.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Great photo in the notes.
-
I accepted the job. There will be challenges ahead, but I am looking forward to them.

I haven’t felt that about work in a while.

One more…

Vibes for Elmore and Singdaw.

Has anyone read I’m Glad My Mom Died?
-
John G I forgot to answer your second pie question. Personally, I would lose the celery and add the peas.
I missed that. Peas should be added IMHO.

No. I looked it up and it looks interesting. Will you be reading it?
-
I am sure you won't miss the commute.
;D
-
John, is it completely from home or will you have some office days?
-
Listening to Karen Morrow belt out "Let Me Sing and I'm Happy."
-
That's a good way to start a day.
-
DR John G., do you have to give your current employer 2 weeks' notice?
-
Has anyone read I’m Glad My Mom Died?
Isn't that the original title of the Mary Rodgers biography?

I love that picture of you and Richard, BK!
Ditto!!

I accepted the job. There will be challenges ahead, but I am looking forward to them.
Congrats, John, and Good Luck!

Has anyone read I’m Glad My Mom Died?
I downloaded the Kindle version from the library, but I haven't read it yet.
-
I know that that doesn't help, but I do want to read it. :)
-
I shall shortly be on my way to see the first cut of episode three.
-
VIEWING VIBES FOR MR BK.
-
MY CAPS KEY IS ON.
-
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO DS Paula.
-
Got news that Mom stood by herself today.
-
I also got news that a dear friend of mine, Mickey, doesn’t have long to live. She’s ready, her daughter says.
-
That is fantastic news, DR John G.
-
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO DS Paula.
And more anniversary wishes!
-
~~~CONTINUING VIBES~~~ for her further recovery
-
We had our team holiday party this afternoon. Just wasn’t in the mood.
-
Friday afternoon greetings! Richard and I performed the big “dish switch” (say THAT 3 times fast!) today. It involves him on a step stool in front of the fridge handing me the Christmas dishes from the cupboard above and me handing him the everyday dishes to be stored up there until mid-January. Then I wipe out the empty lower cupboards, run the dishwasher a couple of times, and put the Christmas dishes away for everyday use.
-
Congratulations on your new job, DR John G!
-
Happy 50th Anniversary to December bride Paula!
-
December Bride sounds like it could be the title of a Hallmark movie.
-
Maybe it is.
-
Just a few more to get off this page.
-
And here it is.
-
Four.

Very good news, John!

Sweet.
-
December Bride sounds like it could be the title of a Hallmark movie.
It was a TV series that ran after I Love Lucy.
-
Happy Anniversary to your sister, DR Jrand72!
-
Got news that Mom stood by herself today.
Very encouraging.

I would think not.

That is a very festive way to clean your cupboards ;)

I am sorry.
-
We had a very nice day in Bisbee.
-
Thanks for the anniversary wishes for my sister.
I did the decorations for the reception so that is my handiwork on the wall.....the colors were blue and lavender......
-
Good news about the mother of DR JOHN G.....
-
Sorry about your friend.......
-
Back from viewing episode three. Marshall did a great job of it and I only adjusted two or three shots and that was it. Really funny and charming.
-
Went to the mail place - no Vitello's check - VERY problematic and I'll write them now.
-
Went to Gelson's and got a steak and salad for food. Steak is broiling now.
-
Congratulations, Joy, on your new job! May it bring you much joy!
-
Also congratulations to your mom on standing

Not to mention the top of the refrigerator…

Steak was very good and so was the salad.
-
Shouldn't page five be around here somewhere?
-
Lurking.
-
Waiting in the wings.
-
Ah, the prodigal page five shows itself.
-
But now, page six is waiting in the wings.
-
Page six wants to make an appearance.
-
Page six is ready, willing, and able.
-
As am I.
-
I'm waiting in the wings.
-
For dessert - a chocolate chip muffin top.
-
Who came up with the name muffin? What WERE they thinking?
-
There are many word things I cannot comprehend.
-
That is one of them.
-
There are a million stories in the naked city.
-
This jernt is empty.
-
There is no one here.
-
Just me, myself, and I, not necessarily in that order.
-
Everyone must be stuffing themselves with foodstuffs.
-
Riverdale season six is dreary. May not finish. But I’ll finish the first disc.
-
Tonight's steak was the first steak I've made in over a year.
-
JohnG is here!
-
I'm here.
-
And there.
-
And everywhere.
-
Who came up with the name muffin? What WERE they thinking?
;D
-
I've not heard back from Vitello's yet - not happy about the check not being here - it usually is in less than a week and we're now eight days out.
-
That reminds me, today we had a Hungarian peanut butter cookie.
-
Muffin top is very good.
-
Has anyone ever had a Hungarian peanut butter cookie?
-
What is a Hungarian peanut butter cookie?
-
It had paprika, not the spicy kind.
-
A cookie that speaks Hungarian?
-
I would not want paprika on a cookie.
-
It was delicious.
-
Speaking of paprika on a cookie - page six.
-
I would not want paprika on a cookie.
I expected to take one bite and trash it ;D
-
I knew it was waiting in the wings - page six, not the Hungarian peanut butter cookie with paprika.
-
And what brainiac came up with the name paprika?
-
It's so random.
-
Muffin top is very good.
I usually let Keith have the top and I take the rest.
-
I feel page seven might also be waiting in the wings, but I really must go sit on my couch like so much full fish, or, as the Jews like to say - to plotz.
-
Wait - you married Keith???
-
Why I oughta...
-
JohnG must have left to eat some paprika.
-
And what brainiac came up with the name paprika?
Paprika is Hungarian for pepper
-
Paprika is made from red peppers
-
This must have been from sweet red peppers.
-
We seem to be having a pepper of a time here at HHW this evening.
-
Wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?
-
I think I am finally starting to feel a little bit better.
-
Wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?
:)
-
I think I am finally starting to feel a little bit better.
Good.
-
Good night, friends.
-
Started watching Bros. Not finding it all that good.
-
No paprika tonight.
-
No paprika tonight in my coffee.
-
No paprika tonight in my tea.
-
John, you should try it in a peanut butter cookie.
-
I just Google the cookie and found the bakery with the description.
-
A jumbo peanut butter cookie topped with smoked Hungarian paprika sugar.
-
Okay. If someone else makes the cookies.
-
Onward!
-
Seven!
-
Okay. If someone else makes the cookies.
;D
-
Opening night for Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol !
-
We have more than 35 people!
-
It's going well...so far. :)
-
Good.
-
'night
-
Bros was okay. It fell prey to its own self-righteousness. Luke Macfarlane had nothing to do and was supposed to be too passive. I don’t blame him. I blame the sloppy script.
-
We have more than 35 people!
Nice.
-
Trying to watch something, but...
-
Failing.
-
Tried to watch a digital screener called Bones and All - if a movie can't grab you in the first ten minutes, well - you shut it off, which is what I did.
-
I feel page eight is waiting to make an entrance.
-
But we're still in the middle of seven.
-
The middle of seven, of course, being the "V".
-
Now, about paprika...
-
I used to put paprika on cottage cheese. I have no idea why.
-
Did you know that before the song Maria was written for West Side Story, that Bernstein and Sondheim wrote it about paprika?
Paprika
I just met a spice named paprika
That's such a silly name
I wonder how it came to be
Paprika
Say it loud when you're gently pouring
Say it soft and then soon you'll be snoring
Paprika
I'll just keep ignoring
Paprika
-
Where in tarnation IS everyone?
-
Maybe I shouldn't have eaten the muffin top.
-
Or maybe I should have put some paprika on it.
-
Wherefore art thou, page eight?
-
I'm here, bub, waiting in the damn wings, sprinkling paprika on my muffin.
-
An hour without a post is an hour without a post.
-
How unseemly.
-
Listening to more string quartets of Ernst Toch.
-
And I don't care who knows it.
-
Is there gaslighting going on here?
-
I think there is.
-
Because page eight should have already made an entrance.
-
Or even two.
-
Enter page eight.
-
And now, page nine is waiting in the wings.
-
Opening night was a rousing success...not a sold-out-house success, but everyone seemed to love it!
-
I'm now in the very slow McDonald's drive-thru. ::)
-
I hope that that means everything's cooked fresh.
-
We'll see, then I'll hie myself to home.
-
Must have a McDonald's report.
-
Will TCB make an appearance?
-
Will page nine make an appearance?
-
Will Godot make an appearance?
-
Will an appearance make an appearance?
-
Bruce!
I am so sorry!
-
Happy Belated Birthday!
-
Thanks for the wishes and glad you showed up.
-
Meanwhile, where's the paprika?
-
I wonder if I have any paprika?
-
I do not have any paprika.
-
I do have dried minced onions.
-
I do have cayenne pepper.
-
I do have garlic salt, regular salt, and regular pepper.
-
I do have Lawry's Season Salt.
-
I do have oregano.
-
That's about it, seasoning-wise.
-
Welcome sixty-seven GUESTS. We only have one word for you: PAPRIKA!
-
Where the HELL is page nine already? It was waiting in the wings just moments ago.
-
Somehow we must get to page nine.
-
So where is it?
-
I don't see it.
-
Do you?
-
Must have a McDonald's report.
Well, it wasn't too bad...but they didn't get my order completely correct. ::)
-
Wow, only 300 more postings until I reach a rather major plateau.
-
What did they screw up?
-
And here's page nine in all its unadulterated glory.
-
It cannot be denied that we got to page nine.
-
Is page ten waiting in the wings?
-
Ten minutes to get to page ten.
-
Is that the impossible dream?
-
Or the possible dream?
-
What idd McDonald's screw up?
-
Don't leave us hanging.
-
Tell us.
-
And what did you eat?
-
We must be in the know.
-
Waiting, waiting...
-
Guess George went down a rabbit hole or fell asleep.
-
But not i.
-
I am here.
-
I has spoken.
-
Paprika, baby, that's what I'M talkin' about.
-
Who here has paprika and when's the last time you used it.
-
We must have answers.
-
I'd ordered a McDouble and wanted extra onions and pickles, and it barely had any of either at all. :P
-
And yet, here I am, doing a monologue.
-
I hate it when that happens.
-
I like the McDouble and I do what you do only not - I get extra onions, ketchup, and mustard.
-
And you only had ONE McDouble?
-
I also had a Bacon McDouble and I had them add mayonnaise, and they got that right.
-
And nothing else?
-
It was quite tasty.
-
I've never had a bacon McDouble
-
Page ten has made an entrance.
-
Does McDonald's have decent bacon?
-
I mean, does it taste like bacon?
-
I've never had a bacon McDouble
They're small-ish double burgers with their very small burger patties. If you buy one, you can get another (or something else from that part of the menu) for only $1, instead of the regular price.
-
I want one now.
-
Does McDonald's have decent bacon?
It's pretty thin, but it's bacon.
-
But I'll be good and not do that.
-
It's Pretty Thin, But It's Bacon is the title of my next novel.
-
Listening to music. Eugen Kapp - very tuneful.
-
I'm still a bit full from the steak and salad - don't know why as I ate it seven HOURS ago.
-
I did.
-
They also have a Double Cheeseburger for about 40¢ or 50¢ more than the McDouble, and it's a little bigger, but not by much.
-
It's Pretty Thin, But It's Bacon is the title of my next novel.
Can't wait to read it! ;D
-
I didn't realized the double cheeseburger was bigger.
-
I wondered what the difference was.
-
What I do know is you cannot order online and get a Filet o Fish after midnight. I wonder why.
-
I didn't realized the double cheeseburger was bigger.
It is, but not by much. I've always wondered what's the point of having the two extremely similar (but differently named) burgers.
-
New notes are up.
-
Up are new notes.
-
I've read them.
-
What I do know is you cannot order online and get a Filet o Fish after midnight. I wonder why.
It might be when they (hopefully) clean their deep fryers?? Just a guess.
-
I've seen them.
-
I know what they say.
-
I still need to go back and ketchup on all the posts.
-
Well, only six posts to reach 300.
-
A nice round number.
-
May as well do it.
-
Why not?
-
One more should do it.
-
Let's see.
-
Yep, we dood it and got page eleven in the bargain.
-
Well, since we're so close...
-
Gratuitous Post #303!! :D
