Wouldn't a 32" Screen be nicer?

My guess is that when they see what a LIGHT it produces in the house....and the audience disruption it causes.....it may be switched out after CLUE THE MUSICAL.

You heard it here first.

Back from Dr. Chew. I must say it was completely excruciating from start to finish. The shot, which last time I didn't even feel, was horrifying - he kept the needle in there for a full minute, twisting and turning, then he took it out and put it back in in a slightly different place. The drilling was nauseating (although obviously I didn't feel any of it - you could have hit me with a baseball bat on that side of my mouth and I wouldn't have felt it) - well, just all of it. My mouth is so numb I'll be lucky if I can eat by six.

Now for the frustration of the week.....

I did a slide show with music with Cast Bios......we got a donation of a 22" flatscreen and a 32" flatscreen - and I decided last year - with some help - that it would be great to put these in the lobby on the screen!

I used a couple of programs and finished it up.....took a few hours.

Tech Director sends me a photo of the tv in the lobby - the 22" Screen.......it seems they want the LARGER screen for the PIT....which means all of that LIGHT in the house.....and they are putting it on a beam where it will be visible to all of the people sitting house left....and ALL THAT LIGHT.....although it will go dark during blackouts....

But that means the lobby TV is so small, that it is hard to read the writing on the slides.....since it is also mounted about 4 feet over our heads.

THEN.....the TD kept telling me that the slides were cut off on the sides....although they looked fine on my computer AND on two DVD players and one Blu Ray player and two different televisions at my house.

I have redid them TWICE....still a problem. We have tried all of the different display settings on the player & the TV. Finally I asked him - "Are you running the DVD player directly to the television?"

"Uh - well....no....I am running it through the coaxial cable and the CCTV system so we can see it on all the screens....uh....maybe that's why it's messed up....."

"Could we run it directly from the DVD player?" I asked.

"Oh no.....I want it on all the screens to keep the cast out of the lobby......"

I redid the slides AGAIN trying to keep everything in the CENTER of the screen....we will see if it works tonight..... He never wanted to use slides....he wanted to use Power Point...which I don't think would be as nice.....but if it doesn't work.....

Well....he will get his wish.....he will get to do the slideshow bios.....JUST THE WAY HE WANTED TO FROM THE BEGINNING.

Have you considered taking out a contract on the TD? Who is the captain of this ship, and who is the first mate? Why does the TD have more say than you do? Give the TD the photos and the bios and say, "Here, you do it."

I have received three notices now letting me know that my Social Security payments will begin on the 4th Wednesday of October, 2012.

Maybe they will send me three checks, too.

No such luck. That will be your first check, which will be for September. They get you coming and going.

Thursday afternoon greetings! Richard and I went to the Y this morning and I did a mile and a quarter on the treadmill and 1000 steps on the NuStep. From there I went for a haircut and style and now I'm ready to take on the world - or for a nap.

DR CHAS SMITH I think that WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST is most entertaining....and features Miss Sally Fraser, but not as the titular character.

I hope at some time along the way you have seen the movie it was a sequel to.....The Amazing Colossal Man.....featuring Miss June Kenney from Earth VS The Spider, and other classics.

Yes they told me that several times, as if I didn't understand it....and I never said "What?"

Seen it as a kid, but I hope to find it. When I was ordering a few more Gordon films the other day (yes, it's true, I was ordering a few more Gordon films the other day), I was shocked, shocked, to find that THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN doesn't seem to be available except possibly in execrable shape on one of those 50 or 100 movies collections. I wonder what's up with that.

You are not eligible for August, because you have to be eligible for the entire month. The first month you are eligible for is September, but you can't be paid for that until the month is over, which means payments start in October. S.S has split up the payment dates from the third of each month to a staggered mailing schedule. It is just our bad luck that we ended up as the fourth Wednesday of the month.
