Topic of the Day: I'll probably try to listen to the OBCRs of either Memphis or Shrek because I found my 5th Avenue pre-Broadway tickets to both shows:

Tonight, we're not going to play Phase 10, so my mom and I are going to the local casino to donate some money.

Last time, however, I walked away with over $300, but I can't imagine lightning striking twice...but you never know.

Another weird day: the morning was good, and I finished all my Encores! work. Then Joshie came by around 1:00 to pick up my work and deliver a lot more. I fed myself and the cats, and things changed for the worse. I kept feeling queasy, as if I were getting nauseous but hadn't reached the point of being nauseous. After I cleaned up the cats' and my dishes and given them their treat fr being good kitties, I lay down to watch Nicolle Wallace's interview with Claire Danes. I kept smelling smoke, which alarmed me, after already goin g through two fires in the 1970s. I couldn't tell if the smoke was coming from outside or if I was about to be in one, so I got up to check.

As soon as I started to move, my stomach did a somersault, I turned from the window to the kitchen, started to move, and threw up all over the floor. I;m very happy I missed Thatch who was sleeping in my computer chair. I spent the next hour cleaning myself, getting the soiled clothes into the laundry, and mopping up the floor. After kitty cleanup, I will do a fast mop of the bathroom and kitchen areas.

I did forget to mention how much I enjoyed Mamdani's inauguration as our new mayor; I wish him all the best.

DR John G, I hope your next book will be a collection of the absolute nadir in gastronomic endeavors; you are like a pig with truffles in unearthing these disgusting recipes. You can call the book Dishes for your Disposal. If you played your cards correctly, it could be like the cookbook equivalent of the original Jonathan and Darlene Edwards recording, which outraged buyers returned because it was so horrible. The buyers missed the fact that the two hands on the keyboard were both left hands.

BK, I have periods of being unable to get my hands to work, and when this occurs, I attribute it to either tendonitis or arthritis. Since most of my physical issues are the result of degenerative arthriti, I suspectpect that's the primary issue with my right hand.

BK, I'm happy your small party yesterday went well; it sounds delightful.

I think we all need a better start to 2026 than what we're being handed right now.

Cramping be GONE vibes for BK, and sickness be GONE vibes for DR Elmore. STAT!

Elmore, you need to keep vomit vessels around your house. I keep an empty coffee can (with a lid) in the car. And I've used it.

Something that's right nearby with a lid, so you can lid it and toss it.

I had a dream last night. One of the teen girls I was in charge of (maybe I was a social worker? I don't know) invited Irving Berlin to her apartment. The apartment was kinda messy, and the floor really needed to be vacuumed. There was nothing in the apartment to serve to a guest. I figured there would be the three girls, me, Mr. Berlin, and his driver who would be coming. I took out the trash, and when I came back there were about 50 people in the room, sitting on risers, waiting for something. I didn't know which one was Mr. Berlin, so I was shaking hands with all the old men.

I have no idea what brought that on.

My dream was one of the most bizarre ever, but I don't think I'll ever remember more than a snippet of it.

The dream itself was that I was waking from a whole string of dreams, each probably unrelated to the next, but the string itself was unique and fascinating to me. I lay there in bed thinking that by God I'll write this one down, regardless of what it'll take to explain everything. BUT... I'm almost positive that was part of the dream itself. I didn't really have a series of dreams, I simply made that up in the dream.

I'm sure that made no sense at all. I'm still mulling it over. One or two flashes of something are still trying to break through.

That coffee can idea is brilliant. I'm wondering which way DR Elmore buys his coffee -- in cans or some other way entirely? I wonder if you can buy that type of empty cans and lids.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #28 on:** January 02, 2026, 06:29:13 AM »

Speaking of coffee, however...

More!!

Laura · « **Reply #29 on:** January 02, 2026, 06:30:14 AM »

Anything would work, Chas. Even old margarine tubs or Super Big Soda cups. Anything with a lid.
