Is it acceptable to read Russian masters during the current war?

DR ELMORE it is the doctor who tells the writer Trigorin that Konstantine is dead......

I will always remember the time in the late 1960's when Sandy Dennis was for some reason appearing on the 50-50 Club with the puerile Bob Braun......he asked her about reviews....and she said:

"Well... I was in a production of 'Three Sisters' [which I'm sure Braun had never heard of] and one critic wrote that 'Sandy Dennis went after her part like a monkey looking for a banana'.....I don't think it was a compliment...."

And Braun just started talking about Tyson Chicken....

Goddam, Amazon! Even qwirth inflation you're gouging customers. I love these Cadbury Fruit & Nut bars. In 2020 and 2021, I paid around $26.00 for a box of 14 bars. Today, Am,azon is charging $46.00+ for the very same item. WTF?

My mother, her sisters, my cousins, brother Macbeth and I were on the 50-50 Club. It took forever to get the tickets. Ruth Lyons actually asked me a question, and I have no idea now what it was or what I said. I was around 10 at the time.

I've had this happen several times. You've probably already verified this, but make sure you're looking at the same seller you bought from before - whether it was Amazon.com or someone else. The first seller that comes up for me is Global Wholesale Inc. whose price at this very moment is $42.53.

The price of See's Candy is outrageous on Amazon, especially when See's has a website to order from.

And given what the word was, we both know where our minds are.

Now I need to ask Keith what the word is.

I was just checking for vowels

It occurred to me that given the price of gas it was unfair to ask him to drive me and I know he wouldn’t accept cash, so I asked him to ride along with me and then drive my van home which he agreed to do without hesitation
