I did get that word the other day ("loris"), but I also wasn't sure of its meaning.

DR elmore--the book looks wonderful!

DR Jrand74 --

Bottom drawer freezer, and we love it.

It's my first one of those. In places where the fridge was provided, they were always freezer-on-top. When it came time to buy my own, I thought side-by-sides were the way to go. But by the time the last fridge was in its death throes, I'd read people's testimonies about the better efficiencies of bottom-drawer in terms of cold air retention, and that all made sense to me, so that's all I looked at. Totally happy with it.

DR Elmore --

Thank you for the surprise in my email just a while ago! This is much appreciated!

Apropos of nothing.

I would like a refrigerator with a bottom drawer freezer.

But I can't find one that will fit in the space that my refrigerator occupies.

What kind of refrigerator do you have?  Freezer on top....side by side...freeaer drawer on the bottom?

Right now I have....freezer on top.

I have two freezer drawers on the bottom...bought used and with a HUGE discount (based on the original price).

Well, that didn't take long, at all!  Literally, less than a minute!

That's great, DR George!

Thanks, Kevin!

I'm not a fan of side-by-sides, at all.  My sister had one (still does, but it's in her garage as a second fridge/freezer) and they're very skinny, so it's difficult to store wide items that need to lay flat.

TOD:

In view of recent events....I will ask.....what is your favorite Connie Francis song?  Did you own any of her 45s or LPs?  The second part is of course just for DRs of a certain age.  I could never figure out "hop in our jalopy to a drive in movie" for a long time....

Wonderful memory of her!

[John G.]

Up from a nap. And I feel like I need another.

[Freddie]

DR FREDDIE nice post about Skip and his friend.  It's so nice when those things happen.

We have not seen a photo of Skip for awhile.......or the corgis.  Not that they should be grouped together in any way.

I don't think either of us has been in any photos in a while, except IIRC at Bill and Maureen's wedding a few months back. 

There's one corgi now, Liam also known as LeeLee.

[Jane]

Barbara Stanwyck is also one of my favorite actresses.  Westerns were my favorite tv shows.  I was extremely excited when I found out she was going to star in a tv western.  Of course she was still beautiful and wonderful and I loved the show.

Thanks, Jane and Laura and Freddie and Jrand and Singdaw and John!

You are welcome.

Skip just got back - his setting of the Lord's Prayer was the musical selection for the Offertory at Rutgers Church on the Upper West Side this morning.  It was sung by a college schoolmate of his, Jane Thorngren, who is a NYC Opera leading lady.  Skip composed it especially for her.

Nice.

Earlier I started running at the nose and sneezing (allergies) like crazy, and it wasn't slowing down on its own so I popped my poison of choice (Benadryl) and am just now starting to feel relief. I'm putting off unloading the car till tomorrow. Hell with it. I'll run out and do my little bit of shopping, then I'm settling in for some comfortable eating and drinking and watching and general merriment.

I can't take Benadryl and drive so I usually only take it at night.

[Jane]

I am enjoying some homemade zucchini bread from my cousin Carol.

It is most excellent - with nuts - and even more so with Cool Whip.

I have enough left for another round later this afternoon.

Cool Whip, interesting.  I would have thought cream cheese.

It gave me one hell of an unplanned nap in front of the TV, and boy did I feel drugged. Trying to come out of it now so I can get a couple more things done.

Canadian Football.....is that kind of liked American Rugby?

It began as rugby and evolved in parallel to take the form of American-style football, but it retains some elements of rugby. There are more ways to score through the kicking game. In fact the score at one point yesterday was 10-1 which is not a score you could see in US football.

There are three downs instead of four. So the game favors (or should I say favours) smaller, quicker dudes.

Prince Andrew called her a prostitute and denied knowing her until this photo of him, Virginia, and Ghislaine showed up.

Speaking of Ghislaine Maxwell, this is an email I felt compelled to write to my brother Macbeth and his wife Lady Macbeth, after seeing the name of Florida attorney David Markus mentioned four times in two months in legal invoices in the estate matters of my parents.  (I know, smell me, Princess Grace!)
--------------
Hilary and Joann -
See my email below the other day to prominent Miami attorney David Oscar Markus, whose name is all over the Paul Berman attorney invoice ATTACHED.  No one needs to imagine it - There he is, his name David Markus spelled out on page 2 of the invoice, looking out for YOUR interests against me.

David Markus is the attorney for people on the level of Hillary Clinton and - in "headlines" right now - Ghislaine Maxwell -   
And an attorney this prominent is also somehow so active in looking out for the interests of - wait for it! -  Hilary and Joann Landau???  Against me?  In matters relating to the estates of Rosalie and Naftali Landau?

Where is the money and pull that gets an attorney on his level involved in our family matters? 

Fred
------------


I'm guessing there's a comedy routine to be found when Mr. David Markus is told Hilary is on the line, and doesn't know until he hears a male voice or a female voice whether it's Hillary Clinton or Hillary Landau!

[singdaw]

DR singdaw guess which one kid in my family that was?

 

[Rodzinski]

I had a Connie Francis LP that was sponsored by Brylcreem.
Fave song? Who’s Sorry Now

[Jane]

DR George, I enjoyed reading more about your day on your property and seeing the pretty photo.

Thanks, Jane!

You are welcome.

From George:

My uncle made a cake (DON'T READ THIS, JANE!) with hazelnuts and chocolate shavings in the batter, and covered in melted chocolate.

It really is sad how people ruin chocolate cakes for me   It sounds yummy.

My mom was going to get a copy of the recipe.  I'm sure the hazelnuts can either be replaced with something to your liking or even left out. 

I'm sure they can be left out.

[Jane]

What did your niece eat?

I forget what she had. I know she ate something, though.

[Jane]

No more sleep yet. Burning throat is gone, thankfully.

Hopefully, without the burning throat, you will sleep better tonight.

[Jane]

What should today's food be?

Something bland that you make at home.

[Jane]

The pair of keets want another ice cube in their water.

Awww.

[Jane]

No Connie Francis fans on HHW?

I don't believe it.

I was waiting to see if anyone commented on the Vacation jalopy before saying anything.

[Jane]

Right now I have....freezer on top.

We have a pull out drawer with three shelves in it.  I much prefer a drawer to a top or side freezer.  Our side freezer in Ashland was unusually large and it was great. 

[singdaw]

We have a fridge on the top, freezer on the bottom. But this is not provided by the apartment building; we purchased this ourselves.
