Good morning, all!
-
I stayed up too late watching a Midsomer Murders episode, so my timing is off this morning, but my goal is to get through the next two numbers in the score.
-
I did sleep very well. Around 8:00 last night, ut was really cold in the apartment, and I was afraid we had another heating issue, like last week's. When I heard the heat click in around 5:00 this morning, I was very happy.
-
BK, I'm happy the session went well. I hope this means you are on the mend.
-
DR singdaw, I've never seen The Concert in performance, and it's my belief that the ballet is for piano solo, so I was surorused that Viennese performance had an orchestration. If my memory is correct, The Comcert is performed to Chopin piano pieces, so perhaps the video peoducer decided to find an orchestrated recording for the taping.
I just checked Wikipediam and I was right about Chopin!

Good morning, all.

We had a great closing night, and the closing of an era with this show. Cast par-tay was nice and not too long, and I made myself load the equipment into the car instead of going back today for it. Got home, sat up for a bit, then literally crashed. I slept solidly through the night for my first time in weeks.
-
Coffee!!
Oh. Here it is.
-
The hand cramping sounds like a damned nightmare.
I, too, had some toe cramping about a week ago. What in the HELL is going on here?
-
I keep having my left foot pull into a pointed toe position and my left hand pull together, almost like my palm folds in half.
I’m told the cure is a banana before bedtime , but I’ve yet to test the theory as I always forget to buy bananas
-
By the way, the name of BK’s new novel will be:
Banana Before Bedtime
-
Last night Singdaw said
We are having three friends for dinner on Monday night
-
That seems excessive
-
Surely one friend would be sufficient to feed the two of you.

Moving vibes for Jeanne

Happy Sunday to everyone! On the new Broadway Radio Show, Celia Berk is back to chat with me about her Autumn & Winter EPs from the Fours Seasons of Song collection. Winter was released last week and it's a terrific conclusion to this wonderful artistic achievement! Make sure to check out all 4 of Celia's EPs and check out the interview to hear how this fascinating project came together.

Natasha's Kitchen on youtube has a recipe for a cranberry orange bundt cake that always gets rave reviews. If you need some way to use up the cranberries.

Sunday.
Feel better vibes for MR BK.

I was watching the Ken Russell VALENTINO last night after SNL.
I was listening to the commentary. Only got about half way through....maybe I'll finish it today....sometime.
-
Why did the red-nosed reindeer help the old lady across the road?
-
Because it would have been Rudolph him not to!

In the charitable spirit of Christmas, that gets a huge laugh rather than a groan. :)

That is charitable of you, indeed, DR Freddie. :D

Speaking of charitable, apparently there was no winner of the $1.5 billion last night.

From DR Rodzinski,
It’s very scary when this happens to me with my or the kids’ IDs as we approach the international border.
That would be scary. Do you have holders you keep your IDs in?
-
From Bruce,
So much for the drinking water cure for muscle contraction. My right hand was locked up for about thirty minutes. I was ready to stick my head in the oven.
I'm sorry. It sounds painful. Does putting your hand in warm water help at all?
I hope you will continue drinking water as it is very important to do so when taking prednisone.
-
VOICE VIBES FOR BRUCE!
-
DR Vixmom, thank for the congratulations last night.
-
Vixmom, enjoy your holiday outing today.
-
DR Singdaw, it sounds like your Monday night hosting will be a success.

Possibly ER could have given him a shot of a pain killer or muscle relaxant. I have never gone to a doctor for my severe foot cramps.

Hoping maybe if anything persists, a doctor can see BK Monday or Tuesday. Just advisable not to let it wait and suddenly want to go Christmas Eve (Wednesday) or Christmas Day, I'd think.

LOL regarding the bananas. I rarely eat them now as ripe ones give me a headache and the others, especially if on the green side, give me a stomach ache. I've had those types of foot cramps in the last year. They are rather different from the foot cramps I've had most of my life.
-
By the way, the name of BK’s new novel will be:
Banana Before Bedtime
LOL, or at least take potassium supplements.

Yes it is.

Driver’s side door armrest is my ID holder.

Why we all cramping up? My foot has been doing this. Even with me eating bananas.

It’s the Crampus season.

True, however, this has the potential to be a chronic issue and finding out the cause or what can be done to reduce the cramps is important.
More vibes Bruce that you can figure this out.
-

I hope it is secure.
-

I had severe foot cramps so often as a child that I used them as an excuse if I was home late when out riding my bike. All I had to say was I had a cramp and couldn't pedal.
-
I can't wear flippers in the water as I always get a foot cramp.
-
A number of times while skiing I went down a hill screaming as I didn't have control after a foot cramp took over.
-
And swimming. We always had to wait 30 minutes after eating because we might get a cramp and could drown. I didn't understand it referred to stomach cramps as I swam all the time with foot cramps, ackwardly but I managed.

Why did the red-nosed reindeer help the old lady across the road?
I posted that couple of days ago! Here's a new one.
What's a mathematician's favourite Christmas snack?
A mince π.
-
I'm up, I'm up - ten and a half hours of sleep.
-
Food ordered - Chinese chicken salad from Stanley's - haven't had it in a few months.
-
50% off coupon.
-
One more of those that I'll use on Tuesday.
-
The eye doctor said the cramping goes with the Mestanon that I'm taking. It comes and goes, like Grand Hotel.
-
I think it's one of those things that the more it agitates you the worse it gets. Like Trump.
-
It’s the Crampus season.
No groaning at HHW!

I knew I had read that, because I shared it with another substitute teacher.
Is that new joke against those who mince? Asking for a friend.
-
Watching the rest of Bunuel’s El. What a portrait of jealousy! So wonderfully twisted.
-

Water, potassium, plus other tips you can find might reduce the severity. Your last one did sound bad.
-
I finished VALENTINO w/commentary. Interesting.
It's available on TUBI if you've never seen it and can take all of the commercial breaks.
-
It is 40 degrees now.....and that's fine with me.

One internet report said that the orange baboon had declared that Wednesday and Friday would join Thursday - Christmas Day - as Federal Holidays.
If that is so that will mean no banking and no mail for three days.
But maybe the internet is inaccurate.
-
I wonder if the password in ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER that is "Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville Junction" is a mistake.....why wouldn't they say Petticoat Junction?
-
A question to ponder on Page Four.

I had read Christmas Eve which is something that other presidents have also done. I'm going to double check now.
-
Yup, the day after was included. That makes more sense than closing on Christmas Eve day.
-
It looks like mail will still be delivered and banks will still be open. I would confirm this information if I planned to do any banking on Christmas Eve or the day after Christmas. Hours might be reduced for the post office and banks.

John & Rodzinksi, who both like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, it was a fun movie. We had planned to watch it a couple of weeks ago, however, I had a headache and decided it we should wait. Am I glad we did ;D
Before the opening credits I did not realize this was loosely based on a Brett Halliday novel. DR Michael introduced me to the Michael Shayne PI series years ago.
I hope Michael see this post as I am very interested in his opinion of the movie.
-
I think Kiss Kiss is great Christmas fun.
-
I’m stirring from a nap.

Really knocked out by the allergens in the air.

Gratuitous post 99!

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang post 100!

Good afternoon.

It was. I also need to read subtitles and I really could not have kept up with the energy if we watched it when I wasn't feeling great ;D

Sorry.

Salad was good, but by about the two-thirds mark gets a little boring.

Should I go back to bed or try to watch a motion picture.

Decisions, decisions.

What happened to George - a no-show last night and so far all of today.
-
He's got some 'splainin' to do.
-
I placed a big Amazon Fresh order for the Do, but of course they're out of one item I need and they charge twenty bucks OVER the cost, just in case. I think THAT is a class action lawsuit in the making. If it goes over just do that additional charge, because when they do the pre-charge for more and then the real charge, sometimes both charges stay there for days and that is not right.
-
They're not the only ones who do that, either.
-
Instacart, however, never does that.
-
But Instacart is no longer reliable.
-
Fresh delivery is tonight at some point. Hopefully, I'll get the alert or they'll ring the bell. After the stolen packages, nothing can be delivered here unless I'm here to get it.

:o
Can you do a pick up in your car instead of a delivery? I have never done this and don't know if the cost is less. It just seems like it should be.

I would have added some vegetables.
