Be careful about emails that look like they're actually from the Social Security Administration -
An email I got overnight when I took the extra step of looking underneath the sender info was from an address "imoya@famtreerealty.com" - not the actual domain name of the Social Security Administration.

I really am grateful to the Amazon system for facilitating independent publishing, like how they make the actual creation of the physical book so easy (once the author had the insides of the book ready and an idea of what text the author wants on the front and back covers),

Title: Re: THE DAY CHEF IS NOT THE NIGHT CHEF
Post by: Freddie on September 14, 2025, 02:20:11 AM
and how easy and timely they create copies and get copies out, whether to the author or to third parties.

Title: Re: THE DAY CHEF IS NOT THE NIGHT CHEF
Post by: Freddie on September 14, 2025, 02:20:54 AM

Title: Re: THE DAY CHEF IS NOT THE NIGHT CHEF
Post by: Freddie on September 14, 2025, 02:21:20 AM
there are some things (which seem like they should be comparatively easy) that don't make sense. 
Title: Re: THE DAY CHEF IS NOT THE NIGHT CHEF
Post by: Freddie on September 14, 2025, 02:21:45 AM
For example, try as I might, they listed the age range as ages 5 to 18, when it should be age 5 and up through adults, and nothing I try will change that.

And they won't let me get it into genre categories like "Music" or "Humor"
Title: Re: THE DAY CHEF IS NOT THE NIGHT CHEF
Post by: Freddie on September 14, 2025, 02:22:50 AM
but insist that it's Popular Culture in Social Sciences, which must be either the judgment of its internal algorithms deciding how to best position or describe the book or maybe a human being looked at it and decided that's the best way.

And also, the rounding of the star rating average to just one decimal place nags a bit - when it was for a while five 5-star ratings and one 4-star rating (total 6 reviews), it rounded the average to 4.8, but now that it's six 5-star ratibgs and one four-star rating (total 7 reviews), it's still at the same 4.8.

Title: Re: THE DAY CHEF IS NOT THE NIGHT CHEF
Post by: Freddie on September 14, 2025, 02:28:56 AM
It's possible, though, that they're "subtly" encouraging the writers to partake of their add-ons for book promotion. but I'm not sure there.  So far, there have been no amounts paid to Amazon except the cost of the books themselves, whether author copies or otherwise.

Last evening there was a harvest music festival in Ladner, BC. I got to see an electrifying performance by a Canadian band from the ‘70s/‘80s that never really had crossover success in the states. Them two of their members left and had huge crossover success with a band they formed called Loverboy.

Streetheart was the band I saw. It’s fun to see a band play songs that are obvious standards that everyone in the crowd knows, but nobody in the U.S. would know at all. Kinda like living in an alternate universe.

Okay for today, why don't we all post Hollywood anecdotes that we may have read in the past that are still interesting today.....

Dickie Moore wrote that he was hired for MISS ANNIE ROONEY to give Shirley Temple her first screen kiss. He was very nervous....he had NEVER kissed a girl in his life.

On the first rehearsal he was very tentative and Shirley grabbed him and gave him his first open mouthed kiss. "Come on." she said. "Let's go."

The Director said, "Okay let's try it again, and this time, Dickie, you be the boy."

It turned out to be a nice chaste kiss on the cheek......

The Harvey Wallbanger cake is a retro dessert from the 1970s that is based on the popular Harvey Wallbanger cocktail. It is known for its sweet, citrusy flavor and incredibly moist texture, which it gets from the addition of vodka, Galliano liqueur, and orange juice.

Sounds delicious.

We had a Costco cake today.

We also don't call them The Big Cheese. That's just what I call him when he's not around.

You're not the only one who has secret nicknames for higher-ups. ;)

Maybe 60 or so people. That's about 2.5 hours of dishwashing.

Oh, my goodness! :o

Took a nap.

I'm about to take a nap before I work barback for ABRA CADABRA (http://mooncoinproductions.com/entertainment/abra-cadabra), an ABBA tribute band at the Washington Center later this afternoon.




Enjoy the show, George!  (I assume you get to watch it.)


Thanks, Freddie!  I am.

I do have the option to go in and watch it, but I didn't go in.  I'm in the lobby watching it on the monitor.  It took too long to get ready for intermission, but I'll probably go in after intermission clean-up is done.

I posted this last night, but I want to make sure ya'll see it.

I read on the innerwebs that "they" want to raise the Covid-19 vaccination age to 75. So be sure you get it as soon as you can!

Thanks for the reminder, Laura.  I need to look into that.

Did anyone ever watch Twin Peeks?  I thought it was a soap opera and now see there is much more to the show.  Keith has us watching the first episode tonight.

I watched the original series, but it's been so long, I really don't remember anything about it. :-\

I watched when it was new. Got tired of its eccentricities after a few episodes.

I had co-workers who were obsessed about the show, so we had stuff to talk about each week.

I read the Stephen King-Maurice Sendak Hansel and Gretel. Some of the images are wonderfully disturbing. In one, Sendak has the evil witch flying through the night with bags of captured children around her.

Wow!  That sounds like it would be fun to watch.

Two flies somehow got in the home environment today. I warned both that it was only a matter of time. One met its maker within five minutes. I wasn't even aware of the other until it appeared a couple of hours later. It joined its pal soon thereafter.

I had some LPs by Michael Parks. Beautiful packaging but unremarkable music. I kept one I still have, kind of a downer singer-songwriter vibe.

New notes are written but it was an ordeal because of a cut and paste that subverted my formatting so that when I cut and pasted into Word Press it was screwy - once I figured out what Word Press was doing, I fixed that, then I saw what Word had done and fixed that. So irritating.

Soup arrived, less than half full. So I got half a refund - not enough really and had it been DoorDash it would have been a full but I used Grubhub instead. DoorDash usually does full refunds and does it as a credit rather than refunding to card, which I prefer.
Title: Re: THE DAY CHEF IS NOT THE NIGHT CHEF
Post by: bk on September 14, 2025, 11:22:56 PM
So, that's a Grubhub downside. But the downside to DoorDash is worse if you're just trying to get something that's twelve bucks, as they've upped the minimum to fifteen bucks for the discounts to kick in to Dash Pass members. That is ridiculous.
