I'm surprised you didn't have any boys helping to make the dough.

We had some math accidents during the cookie dough construction. That led to doubling or tripling some of the recipes.

Shut down the computer. It's still being a little weird, but I don't want to shut it down twice.

For some of the software upgrades at work, we have to install several "authenticators" (random security code generators) on our personal cell phones.

I know a couple of people who absolutely will not put any work-related app(s) on their personal phones.  If their work requires the app(s), then their work can supply and pay for the phone...not negotiable.  If I remember correctly, they got phones paid for by their work, but they absolutely cannot do anything personal on them, which is also the point.  So, no problem. :)

But it's a little scary; it says if I forget the pattern, I'll have to reset my phone back to factory settings and start from scratch.

I would absolutely NOT want to do that! :o Fortunately, I already have a pattern lock on my phone.

DR Michael G, there are many recordings of My Fair Lady in as many languages, but all, except for John Yap's, are incomplete. His recording on two CD'shas all of the musical numbers and Higgins' cut song "Come to the Ball." The cast is quite good, and the excellent conductor is my friend John Owen Edwards, conductor of the late D'Oyly Carte Oopera Company.


I have this recording and I thoroughly enjoy it.

Can't wait for the John Wilson My Fair Lady. I'm embarrassed to say, however, that I never even got John Yap's, so - what the HELL is wrong with me? So much to ketchup on.

If you do get this, make sure that you get the recent re-release that was "Remastered through Jay Record's exclusive DigiMix system."  It really does sound better:

At some point in my junior high or high school years I thought I was so damned cool when I discovered the Spanish language MFL on LP in a Miami Beach (Lincoln Road Mall) record store and brought it home. I still have it, I probably played it all of twice, don't remember. Mine's in mono, though, and I never discovered until many years later that it was also issued in stereo. So much for my cool factor.

Is that the recording that has a young Placido Domingo in the ensemble?

Speaking of a touch of intrigue...


Our current phone software system give you a "beep" in your headset to know a new call has been connected to you.

In the new system, you get what Amazon Connect calls a "whisper alert." One of my teammates wonders if she should ask if they have any Gray Poupon.

I have to report to Vacation Bible School today. I'm so glad the younger women have taken it over and I don't have to do it any more.

Good for you, Laura.

I am going to lead the children in making cookie dough, which we will form into balls and freeze. So we'll have an emergency stash of cookies if needed.

Sounds like a plan! :)

Didn’t get to yesterday’s TOD because Mrs R was having a health scare of her own. Soreness in her jaw and arm, we drove down to an urgent care in Bellingham. They gave her an ekg which was fine, but upon talking to her more and learning she’d been traveling recently, that doc sent her to the ER across the street for tests. So the kids and I had to find things to do. First we closed down the Michael’s crafts, then the Fred Meyer, then Wal-Mart was going to close at 11, but luckily it was a slow night at the ER and all tests were good and we picked her up and made it home before midnight.

I'm looking at some on Amazon so that I don't have to change my plan.

Why would you have to change your plan?  You might find a better deal through your phone carrier.

Not usually.  The deals that I see from Verizon can save money on the (usually very expensive) phone itself, but they have always required an upgrade to my plan, which would cost more than I'm paying now. :-\

I haven’t the slightest idea what a pattern lock is. Perhaps it’s something I know by another name.
