I saw the Chalk Garden film when the library finally got the visually crappy MOD version BK references.

During the quarantine, one must be careful that one's GARTH doesn't begin to match one's length.

Of course in 1957, Frances Farmer returned to the stage doing The Chalk Garden at the Bucks County Playhouse in Pennsylvania, and then touring the country with it.

Well, my niece had a grocery delivery ready from Kroger.  She called Door Dash for a driver to bring it to her.

Said DD Driver texted later and said Kroger would not give him the groceries.

My niece soon discovered that the DD Driver stole her groceries.

The End.

Nothing but frustration: cannot get through to Serrano's office about unemployment, and my bank just sent a ridiculous email reply to an inquiry I made yesterday about an unauthorized charge.  When I call the bank's customer service, I get a warning there will be a long time before pickup and after about 15 minutes of listening to a bad theme song, I hang up.  Three days in a row I've called to wait forever.  I'll have to pay a local visit, I guess.

Friday morning greetings!  Sorry I didn't check in here yesterday, time kind of got away from me.  The day started with a delightful delivery of Mother's Day flowers from Rob and Mary Linda.  I made a socially distant visit to the AAUW book sale site for some more jigsaw puzzles and to the pharmacy drive-up for a couple of prescriptions.  Last evening I got involved in a h-u-g-e puzzle and stayed up way too late working on it.

DR Vixmom, please take care of yourself.  Sometime during the course of dealing with my Mom, I ran across this quote:  "You don't have to set yourself on fire to keep someone else warm."  Vibes to you both!

My limp to the bank resolved the situation, and I am ashamed to admit the error was mine, not theirs.

The modern major miracle was just something helpful in these stressful times, something that was much needed.  Whew!

Wonderful.

What did the orthopedic surgeon do for your mother?

Properly set the bones in the wrist and put a cast on her

Without surgery which is the best option.  Continued healing vibes for her.

I also received a delivery.  To my surprise the box of roses came from Costco.

That is an excellent quote. 

I understand it is difficult for her to cook and clean but I would expect she can do most other things.  Is her wrist still very swollen?  I also know it is painful.  I have a low threshold for pain, your mother's must be almost zero.  My mother never tolerated us making a lot of noise about pain, something she knew too much about.

Been busy doing some "stuff" this morning, and I have to get ready to take Poe down to Cat Clinic for a quick antibiotics shot. His urine showed signs of bacteria, which has happened before, and he's getting the injection to ward off getting a UTI.

I learned that I have to voluntarily pay more for that as opposed to giving him an oral solution or tablets at home. You absolutely cannot get an antibiotic into him otherwise. He can detect one part in a billion from a hundred miles away and there's no way of disguising it in anything.

DR Elmore, do you know music copyist Russ Anixter? I watched a short interview with him. He used to work with a Don Rice. I didn't know either of these names. He also mentioned the names Tony Kay (sp?) and Doug Besterman, both of whom are left-handed copyists which is apparently a whole 'other challenge in writing music. Anyway, he's still a proponent of doing it all by hand, even though he has relatively little chance to do so nowadays.

Doug Besterman is not a copyist; he is an orchestrator who works quite a lot.  You'll find his Broadway shows on the IBDB.  He lives in LA now and does some film work.  Could this Tony Kay actually be Annie Kaye?  She used to be an actress, and I worked with her on an orchestration job for Papermill Playhouse many years ago.  She's a nice ladym abd I haven't seen her in so long I doubt I would recognize her.

I do not know the others you mentioned, but my last work involving a copyist was for Encores! and there are new music prep folk I've never met.

I just reported my unemployment hours to Suad, and I really like her a lot.  She's quite wonderful.
