The head cold I came down with on Sunday is clearing out nicely. I shall, however, have to replenish my inventory of Robitussin for the inevitable coughing phase that follows. Sometimes I’m lucky and it doesn’t follow, and it would sure be nice if this was one of those times, since I haven’t felt any disturbance at all in that department.

Shouldn’t we be on page fifty-three by now?

Does anyone here ever read the gossipy classical music blog Slipped Disc? I only discovered it a few years ago. Generally, out of eight or ten news bits posted per day, I’ll find one or two of interest, at least for a quick look. Sometimes it’s worth returning and lurking through the comments posted on certain subjects.

Here’s one from yesterday that’s the kind of thing that immediately grabs my attention: “I Learned My Music at Patelson’s”: https://shrtm.nu/dhkD

I loved Patelsons! Mr & Mrs Patelson were wonderful people, and I applied to work there in 1979 just before I applied at The Drama Book Shop, which hired me immediately.

Vixmom, I had clam strips last night with dinner. Excellent stuff.

I think I saw a HORATORY and Vine the other evening.

I think Hamlet told Ophelia: Get thee to a HORTATORY.

DR VIXMOM did you wear clam diggers when you were digging clams or did whatever you were wearing become clam diggers when you were doing so?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #100 on:** August 18, 2020, 08:07:05 AM »

Hmmm now my inner web is being spotty.....perhaps it's an epidemic.

I should go on Facebook and talk about my conspiracy theories....I think that Carroll Baker is causing trouble for HHW because of mention of her in the notes yesterday.....certainly sounds possible to me. What else could it possibly be?

I miss the excitement of all of the delegates and the idea that "history is being made right NOW" that usually comes with the conventions.....

I probably won't watch much of either of them. I hope the Democrats don't spend too much time on promising this or that which will never happen.

All they have to say, honestly, is: We're not HIM.

We would go out on the boat under the Robert Moses bridge that connects Long Island to Fire Island, at low tide it would only be about 4 .5 feet deep and we would anchor the boat and jump into water up to our chins and feel around in the sand with our toes. When we felt the clam wed dive down and scoop it up. So I guess our bathing suits were our version of clam diggers

Tuesday morning greetings! We're having a nice summer rain here today - not the perfect weather for the curbside pick-ups we have to do at the library and Kroger. We'll be OK, but the workers might get a little wet.

I am so proud of the j-school kids at UNC. The most brilliant headline on the virus’ effect at their school. And it got almost immediate results.

The rain hasn’t reached us yet. It’s coming.

I wasn't in bed last night until nearly midnight, so I just had a long nap with all three cats, nearly 90 minutes.

New Moon in Leo:

The sun is already in outgoing Leo, and the new moon joins in this exciting fire sign’s positivity today. Opportunities for second chances and new beginnings are everywhere, and self-expression is at its peak.

That sounds like fun DR VIXMOM.

Second chances??

Woo-hoo! Count me in!

And on and on......

I spent MOST of the money I made by babysitting on 45 RPM records.....although now and then I would get an album.

I still can’t abide a fresh raw tomato

I like raw tomatoes on burgers or sandwiches.

There are too many 60s songs and too many categories: folk, bubblegum, rock, motown . . .

I loved the Beatles, The Supremes, Leslie Gore, Tom Paxton, The Chad Mitchell Trio, Eric Anderson, Peter and Gordon, Chad and Jeremy, Connie Francis, Judy Collins, Joan Baez, and the list goes on.

We never had fresh fruit in the house growing up

This shocks me though I recall when we first moved to the East Coast the selection of fresh fruits and vegetables made me cry.

Jane · « **Reply #119 on:** August 18, 2020, 11:37:50 AM »

Yes, I did really cry once but then I was 2 months pregnant.
