What are your favorite Russian short stories?

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

John G. · « **Reply #94 on:** May 22, 2022, 01:49:00 PM »

And now some South African masters of merrymaking.

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 I wasn't mentioned in the Sunday in the Park with George book either!

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

And our wonderful neighbor Mike did indeed go to the hospital with me.

I thought the better of it.

Oh that is wonderful news, DR vixmom!

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

Well, I don't know about that. But it played on vowels rhyming with bowels.

singdaw · « **Reply #115 on:** May 22, 2022, 03:08:35 PM »

If you know what I mean.

The recent good news from DR vixmom and DR elmore3003 are really boosting my spirits.

I didn't get to the kitchen projects I had planned for this afternoon.

singdaw · « **Reply #118 on:** May 22, 2022, 03:11:44 PM »

But I did get in a great nap.
