PAGE FIVE!!!!!

I have stunned everyone into complete and utter silence.

Why do I always have that effect on people?

Saturday evening greetings! This has been a good conference day: board meeting and book discussion with the Retired Members Roundtable, a great program with author Andre Dubus III, book buzz with 3 publishers, and a cooking demo by French cook Béatrice Peltre. I had a good fish & chips dinner in the hotel's pub and now I'm snug in my room to watch the Cincinnati Bengals try to win a playoff game - Who Dey!

good evening to all

had a frustrating day. I overslept and was almost late for work. I was late leaving work and went to get to get my car and the battery was dead. Luckily I was able to get it jumped and then went to Sears to have it replaced. One would think that they would make a battery that would last more than 2 1/2 years and a car that has gone less than 20,000 miles. An unexpected expense and a missed dinner engagement because of the follies of battery. (Cut number from the Loveland sequence from Follies)

TOD

I'm on a do not call list.

It doesn't always work, but if I don't recognize the phone # or its from a city I've never been to, I don't answer.

I finished futzing and finessing, and have thus far written eight pages. I'll definitely do a few more before the end of the evening - at least two, but maybe four or more if I'm feeling adventurous.

TOD: we got so many telemarketing, scam, and political robocalls that we finally did away with our landline. Richard and I now have different phone numbers in two different area codes, which makes it look like we don't live together. But we do

DR Ginny it sounds like you had a nice day.

Jane · « **Reply #130 on:** January 09, 2016, 06:51:25 PM »

The "do not call" list in my opinion only stops local sales people, if they have been reported in the past.

Jane · « **Reply #131 on:** January 09, 2016, 06:52:09 PM »

I had a lovely after dinner walk and now I'm falling asleep. I hope my jet lag is better by tomorrow.

Jane · « **Reply #132 on:** January 09, 2016, 06:53:59 PM »

Bryan gave me a fitbit for Christmas and today is the first day I used it. I'm not sure if it is counting my steps correctly or giving me extras. Since I put it in my pocket this morning I have walked 24,711 steps.

TOD : Don't even get me started.....I get about 6 or 7 a day for the past year, ie pre caucus time. I usually don't answer, but occasionally I think what the heck. The last few were survey, survey, survey, Carly Fiorina, Bernie Sanders and Rand Paul

Cillaliz · « **Reply #134 on:** January 09, 2016, 06:56:25 PM »

I will not answer a survey because it's nobody's damn business who I want to caucus for.....well that and I'm not sure yet who I want to caucus for or even if I'll caucus Republican or Democrat

I of course have caller ID, but when, for example, you're on the phone and you get an incoming call and it's a regular number in your area code, the inclination is to think it's real. That's what these nefarious butt cheeks do now - spoof real phone numbers.

I'm lucky that most of the political parties have set up either out of state or in Des Moines, which isn't my area code. I don't get other types of calls. I think you can do the do not call list for those. Do Not Call doesn't apply to political calls

I don't mind an email offering services of some sort, but I really hate the phone calls.

You can just delete an email or read it if you want to and when you want to. When it's a phone call, it disrupts what ever you are doing. I think it's a lot different and agree with you, DR Jeanne

But if you register for something or sign up to win at a home show or other thing, then they can call you

It's going to be the coldest night of the year. It's one degree F air temp at the moment. So I made home made ice cream. I still had the cream and whole milk from the batch I made a while ago. Butter pecan, yum

I must say there are times with this new book that I am having such giddy fun. I'm just typing and smiling and occasionally laughing at the antics of one of the characters. I'm coming into an especially giddy section right now.

bk · « **Reply #140 on:** January 09, 2016, 07:14:43 PM »

I've done over ten pages so far and will now take a break, then do at least two or three more, because if I do two or three more this evening then I am officially halfway through this book. Amazing since I began writing a week ago yesterday.

I did, DR Jane. Thought about taking tomorrow afternoon off to do some sightseeing, but it's supposed to rain and there's a high wind warning. So I'll just listen to some more publishers' previews and wander the exhibit hall.

I am looking forward to reading this book, bk

The follies of battery could only improve Loveland!

I sucked royally at rehearsal today. My lines in the second act just won't stay in my tiny little brain.

I say "hey" to the ladies, and they both leave!

I am afraid to say anything to John or Fred.
