Another this and that

 And Thursday finds me in a grumpy mood,

I’m not happy about the weather.  I really like autumn, but it seems like this year summer lingered through the entire month of October, and now it’s almost winter.  I don’t like winter.

Election Day was a major disappointment and I’m avoiding watching the news for a few days,

I don’t like working from home.  It’s fine for part of the week, but I need to be in the office at least some of the time.  But there are no plans to bring us back to the office right now, and I’m feeling frustrated.

And my stupid knees are starting to ache again.


Grumble, grumble, grumble.

    Hopefully by the time you read this things are looking better! I agree the weather went from summer to winter, other than the colors. Our election was just to decide if our county assessor would remain elected, or change to appointed, so nothing much. Unless you are the current elected assessor. I did see some disappointments in other states. Also some wins though. Next year will be the nail bitter.

    Hoping you have a better afternoon. The sun is shining! (sort of) which is always good here in the gloom zone. I like working from home - can't beat the commute. What I don't like is not being permitted into my office building, period (past the lobby). I might like to show up now and again! The election definitely didn't go the way many of us would have hoped. What I really don't like is the sudden cold. Thank you for allowing me to vent. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    I remember being stuck at home. It was nice for a bit, but then I went a little stir crazy. It was nice to get out and walk (but that would be hard for you with your knees). Grumble away.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

DISboards nonsense

found a new blog today. Love it. http://secret-squirrel.webs.com/index.htm I've posted there under various names over the last 10 years or so. it went from a sweet little board that was Pete Werner's hobby to ....well, a real nightmare. that a board devoted to all things Disney can be such a nasty, racist, childish (not childlike) place.... loving the inside scoop, though. Did I ever tell you how "songbird" was banned from the DIS? I was a poster in good standing for 3-4 years. Even booked my trips through Dreams Unlimited, back when Pete was careful to distinguish between the disboards as a hobby and Dreams as his business. Pete and Webmaster Alex were struggling with server issues, the disboards would go down more often than they'd stay up. then Pete announced cosmetic changes to wdwinfo.com, which feeds into the disbaords forum. Like all other members of the forum, I was frustrated. so I was a bit sarcastic. I posted something to the effect of "would yo

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
