COPING VIBES FOR DR TCB!

Thank you, Jane.

I have had a strangely industrious afternoon, of sorts.

I started off by watching "Don't Look Up" which I thought very very good. I read a bit about it and all the critical theories as to what it represents and how heavy-handed some of the critics thought the director was being. But...it spoke volumes to me.

As if that weren't quite enough, I took on "The Power of the Dog". Holy smokes! Benedict Cumberbatch is one hell of a great actor. It was very intense.

Now, I am re-watching season one of "Manifest".

But I took this break to check in, say "View, Halloo" and find out what everyone is talking about.

I am thinking of having a hot chocolate.

I bought some hot chocolate bombs through Sam's Club online, and they arrived today.

Have never had a hot chocolate bomb. I hope I enjoy it.

People here have already started shooting fireworks and it is only past 7 p.m.

Oh, well.

Two friends who were at Christmas dinner have tested positive for covid. I'm definitely going out with my mask tonight.

Good luck you stay well.

Did anyone see the story of the woman who became ill while on a plane. She had a covid test with her, went into the bathroom and used the test. After testing positive she spent the next 5 hours in the plane bathroom isolating.

The crew were very appreciative and attentive. They even sent her goodies to her hotel room while she was in quarantine.

Did we need the final frame of the movie that tells us “James Bond will return”? Really?

Jane · « **Reply #159 on:** December 31, 2021, 04:20:31 PM »

Did they say who is returning as Bond?

I want to hear all about your hot chocolate bomb. I looked it up and it is intriguing.

DR Ron have you read The Power of the Dog?

Betty White’s death was the first new story to knock CoVid off the top news story. Already a flower tribute going up on her “star.”

Why was she taking the test on the plane and not before?

The bombs came in a pack of eight. Four regular, two Mint and two Caramel.

I had a regular. You pour six ounces of hot milk over a bomb in a cup. You stir. The outer shell of the bomb is chocolate and there are miniature marshmallows insiide.

It was very tasty.

No, but I understand the ending in the book is more specific than in the movie...which "suggests" what happened rather than outright states it.

I was fascinated by Cumberbatch's performance. I have known people like the character he portrayed, sorry to say.

Hmmm, I don't think I would want the mint one. It sounds good. Knowing me I might need to add extra chocolate.

I had seen advertised "foot bombs". They are frightfullyl pricy for what you do with them.

You do not drink them, of course. You put one into a container of very warm water and soak your feet in the water. It sounds nice, but...oh, well.

Good for them making it a definite ending. I looked up the book and the reviews are great. I also read the novel is semi-autobiographical.

I was disconcerted by so little milk. I think I will likely use two bombs in 12 ounces of milk next time.

I am familiar with bath bombs as we gifted some for the birthday of a seven year old.

My friend Betsy made some beautiful cocoa bombs to take to Seattle and got some raised eyebrows from TSA when she used the B word.
