Get me off this page!

Good night, all.

I have just started a load of laundry.

Oh! Thanks for the reminder! I have stuff in the washer and dryer that needs moving and folding and drying

vixmom · « **Reply #124 on:** September 05, 2021, 11:01:38 PM »

But maybe I’ll do that in the morning too

vixmom · « **Reply #125 on:** September 05, 2021, 11:01:52 PM »

Since it appears to be after 2 am

vixmom · « **Reply #126 on:** September 05, 2021, 11:02:03 PM »

So I guess it is morning

vixmom · « **Reply #127 on:** September 05, 2021, 11:02:09 PM »

Technically

vixmom · « **Reply #128 on:** September 05, 2021, 11:02:49 PM »

Thank you John for getting us to five

DR Jeanne, I don't think you should stop posting. If a DR seems contentious to you, do what I do and block them.

I must be brain dead. I still didn’t find the argument.

Today, my friend David came down from Seattle to visit me.

George · « **Reply #132 on:** September 05, 2021, 11:30:18 PM »

He wanted to try a restaurant in Chehalis (about a half hour south of where I live) called McFilers.

George · « **Reply #133 on:** September 05, 2021, 11:30:58 PM »

So, he gets to my place, then I drive us down to Chehalis.

George · « **Reply #134 on:** September 05, 2021, 11:32:43 PM »

At first, we were thinking about going to a park there and walking around a bit first before going to eat, but the place we get to require a state park permit, and I don't have one.

DR Jeanne, about proofreading: I finished Julian Fellowes' novel Belgravia last night, and I wonder if he proofread it, someone else did, or didn't care. There are several incomplete sentences - which he does a lot - that left me wondering WTF is he saying, and on one page, the character of Jane Croft is referred to as Ellen Croft. On the other hand, the novel did answer several questions I had after watching the miniseries.

I just don’t think that authors, or publishers, give a damn about proofreading. I read a book a few months ago, written by a well-known author. In one entire chapter, he used a different name for one of the main characters. It was, as if, they took a chapter from an earlier draft and stuck it into the published edition without even reading it.

Instead, we decided to walk around the car show that was happening at the Veterans Memorial Museum.

Medium rare, melted Muenster, sautéed onion, mushroom and roasted red pepper, guacamole on a brioche bun

It would have been tasty if you had bothered to cook it. Sushi burgers are of no interest to me.

I agree!! But I don't like mushrooms.

TCB, it wasn't even an argument, really. Just a difference of opinion.

George · « **Reply #141 on:** September 05, 2021, 11:37:50 PM »

Walking around the car show, I only saw about five people wearing masks. $:-\$

Who knows why or how people's buttons get pushed. I just pushed my button but my batteries ran out so nothing happened.

Here's one car that I thought was pretty cool:

Never a full scene

As opposed to Chaplin’s half empty scenes?

~~This~~ That last car was my favorite. It was beautiful.

George · « **Reply #147 on:** September 05, 2021, 11:42:12 PM »

After walking around the cars, we went into the museum. It was really cool to see all the memorabilia going all the way back to the revolutionary war.

George · « **Reply #148 on:** September 05, 2021, 11:43:00 PM »

After walking through the museum, we decided to leave the car show and go to the restaurant.

You have a lovely speaking voice. I don’t think I have ever heard you speak before.
