Page Five!

Food arrived. As is sometimes the case, the day chef isn't as good or attentive to instructions as the night chef - no EXTRA CRISPY today - just a bit - it was still good. The Kung Pao was not to my liking at all so most of that went in the trash.

[bk]

About to take the plethora of pills.

[bk]

Just been zoning out.

[bk]

Will watch something shortly.

[bk]

Why shouldn't I?

[bk]

BTW, if you feel like it, and you DO, cut and paste your Amazon review into Barnes and Noble - it would be helpful there, too.

[bk]

And Goodreads, too, if you happen to be on there.

Skip's watching the British Baking show.

I'm contemplating taking an extra low-dose blood pressure pill before we watch episode 5 of the rollercoaster that is THE GIRLFRIEND. 

[Freddie]

If your heart starts pounding during the Mother's half-hour, it's sure to happen again seeing the same mayhem from the Girlfriend's point of view.

That's too bad...especially about the Kung Pao!

Oh my.

Keith got Wordle in four.

Oh my.

Neither the mother nor the girlfriend has any redeeming social value. The evil writers and director terrorized us about thirty seconds in from the mother's perspective, then when the same scene came around from the girlfriend's viewpoint they nailed us again.   

[Freddie]

Skip wants to save the final episode for tomorrow to draw it out.   I'm fine with that, since I'd rather not watch this show while it's dark out.

A big reason for me to never watch this-lol

This is terrible!  This is my review of RICHARD AND ME on Barnes and Noble, and it somehow registered as "one star."  I can't figure out how that happened!  I can't find what to do to get this fixed.  Any ideas?

Highly Recommended!
I was looking forward to this book, having been a fan (for their separate work) of both Bruce Kimmel and of Richard Sherman as far back as childhood. That these two notable figures clicked with each other professionally and as friends when chance brought them together years later makes for a well-told beautiful story full of laughter and tears, with a touch of show business challenges (from others) thrown in. I recommend this book highly!

[Jane]

I know on Goodreads you can delete a record of reading the book and start over.  I hope you figure this out.

[Jane]

At least it begins with "Highly recommended!" which pops out.

Hello, everyone, from a very stressed DR Jeanne.

This escrow is driving me nuts. The difficult seller was annoying, but some of the mortgage staff are sexist, demanding, inaccurate, and just plain make me want to scream. I have been reviewing and signing documents from them non-stop, under constant pressure. FedEx envelopes arrive every morning with more documents. Now the escrow company is doing the same. I called my broker and told him it is not humanly possible to do all these at once. He will call the escrow company and tell them to back off. It’s fortunate that much of it is done electronically because it would require all the trees on earth to make so many paper documents.

Oh no, Jeanne!  Sorry for what you're going through.

We are technically on hold as the difficult seller is out of the country and has not provided HIS documents. I am going forward, anyway.

Thank you. We WILL get through this. But I may need a year at a spa after it’s over.

Happy Birthday to the wonderful Pearl!

Can we clone her? We need more people like her, IMHO.

[Jeanne]

Bruce, I’m glad you found someplace that has your extra crispy chicken — at least some of the time. It’s so hard to lose a favorite restaurant.

[Jeanne]

There was an article in the NYT about LA’s restaurants. Covid, of course, decimated the entire restaurant industry, but we also had the writers’ strike, and now two huge fires. It’s really taken a toll.

[Jeanne]

Vibes to all.

TTFN.
