[John G.]

Finishing up David Copperfield. I must reread the book again, though Dora is so insipid that I wish I could just cut her from the novel.

LOL.  The last time I read the book I learned to appreciate her good qualities. 

In the dramatized version, her only quality was breathing her last.

[John G.]

Four!

[John G.]

Ozzy Osbourne has died.

[John G.]

I was out watering a little. It’s 93, but it feels like it’s over 100.

Saw this on MSN:

House Republicans on the Appropriations Committee approved an amendment to the interior, environment and related agencies annual spending bill that would rename the opera house in the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts the “First Lady Melania Trump Opera House.”

Michael wants to get an iPhone because there's no sales tax in Oregon.  I can only assume that, in general, iPhones are cheaper in Portland than Germany.

LOL.  I wonder which will cost more, the gas or the tax.

He said that it would be about $200 MORE in Germany for the same phone!  AND the no sales tax is a big bonus!

[George]

We might go to Powell's Books (I haven't been there in YEARS!), but we'll definitely go to Voodoo Donuts!

Definately go to Powell's.  Voodoo Donuts is a fun place to take out of town guests.

We have a list of donuts for several people.

[George]

Ozzy Osbourne has died.

Oh, no.

What the f*cking f*uck??

[Rodzinski]

Connie Francis then Ozzie Osbourne. What’s the message for us all?

[Jrand74]

Fabian  better watch his step.

[Jane]

Ozzy Osbourne has died.

I just read that.

Which version did you watch?  Yes, her best qualities are at the end as she seems to have insight to what David really needed, more than he did   It really wasn't fair to her that he expected more from her than she was capable of doing.

GROAN!

That's a big difference.  We also buy our phones over the border.  Did he put a hold on the phone he wants and make sure it is internationally friendly?

Gosh, why am I not surprised.

[Jane]

George, did you go to Pioneer Place or a different location?

[Jane]

TOD:

I'm sure we used lots of different shampoos.  Prell stands out.

[Jane]

Later Breck.

[Rodzinski]

Breck! Yeah, that was key.

[Freddie]

TOD: 

Since using Amazon Fresh, the brand they've mainly offered has been Garnier, and that's been good.

Liam uses Pet Paw shampoo, and hasn't complained.

[Rodzinski]

It’s a long story but I took a job when I first moved to NYC as an assistant to a photographer who lived in a hotel in Mt. Kisco. She was bizarre, but every day she had appointments to show her portfolio to some of the wealthiest people in Greenwich, CT. And every day, ended the same way. Stop at Caldor and buy the most bottles of White Rain shampoo I could get for $50. And the next day, I’d show up in her hotel room to pick her up, and every bottle would be empty. Just a big pile of empty bottles. What she did with it, I’ll never know. I think if you spent all night pouring 20 bottles of shampoo directly down the drain, you couldn’t make it disappear like that.

[Rodzinski]

That was just the tip of a very disturbed iceberg.

  That is good he hasn't complained.

My sister visited us in Ashland.  I heard this loud splash from the bathroom and groaned to Keith that she put Echo in the bath.  He didn't believe that she would do such a thing.  Yup, sure enough she had.  First of all, Echo did not need a bath.  Worse was my trying to explain that dogs can't always tolerate people shampoo and Echo and that Echo was sensitive.

My sister didn't believe me and fortunately Echo was fine.  I would rather not have been believed then to have dealth with a reaction.

How long did you last working for this woman?

[Jane]

I should have begun my post with speaking of bizarre women

[Rodzinski]

I lasted maybe 3 weeks. She let me go when I asked for my first paycheck.

[Jane]

Oh no, I hope you got paid.
