Hope it's okay to put this here and not in Pet Peeves: I am peeved because my Medicare Part D plan has some kind of tie-in with CVS. So my doctors send the prescription to CVS, I call them for delivery (because I can't do it online), tell then I'm okay with the cost, they say they will send it tomorrow. Oh, then they forget. I've had so many prescriptions due to multiple issues this year and this has happened at least twice. How hard is it to remember next day delivery?

This is also a good argument for having paper prints made, whether you take photos with your phone or a film camera. I use film cameras almost all of the time because I learned on them and also I like the look (I also have a fine art Epson printer for making prints for shows). However there's no reason you can't upload a digital file and have a company make prints for you. It's certainly the best way to keep memories, who wants to lose those to a computer crash?

I get very upset over violence as well. In fact, even looking for an escape can be hard because I have always been ultra sensitive to violence in movies. Way back when I was in college, I came to realize that I couldn't watch anything graphic. Also there are probably even some movies I saw back then that I wouldn't be comfortable watching now. I'm okay with watching some classic films or TV, or of new shows, I am usually okay with mysteries of the non-graphic kind. But sometimes I just find something on Youtube that runs long enough and watch that. If I really need cheering up over dinner I watch the Silent Comedy Watch Party episodes on Youtube. I love seeing sometimes obscure and really entertaining silent shorts and watching Ben Model and Steve Massa revealing all kinds of history about them.

That happened in one case in my family. We have some very old photos that were in a book with penciled names on the pages. The photos got separated from the pages so we couldn't know who they were.

@ABay is there a local drawing class near your home? If you would like to try in person it might be easier. Maybe the teacher's feedback would also help. Of course you can draw maybe a still life at home but I have to admit that I have never found that the most exciting subject myself. However some people seem to love it.

Kurt Fuller played the looney coroner Woody in Psych.

I watched both of the last two together and I agree that it was really the way to go. I think the show is coming together. One thing I am noticing is that Olivia is really becoming more of a character with her own weird quirks. Gurgs has been funny for a while and plays well with everyone else. John Laroquette continues to be so brilliant, I was almost taken aback when he made his little speech to the jury about how Abby had taken him out of the place he'd been in, and he put so much into that few minutes. You don't normally see acting like that on a sitcom. Neil I don't know. He had so little to do in the last show that I am wondering if they will write him out, or else give him a new plotline? I really hope this is the end of the Rand storyline. I normally don't criticize actors because they almost always seem competent to me but Pete Holmes continued to be so bad I was just cringing. True he had some really silly lines but a decent actor could have done more with them. So great to see Roz! On reddit there was a reference to Melissa's instagram and a post from Marsha Warfield also, they indicated she will be back for the start of Season 2. Just thinking now, maybe the thing that will bring Dan back is a feeling of "been there, done that". He's been a judge but doesn't find out he likes it. Anyway I hope so.

Honestly I just don't want any more paper lying around the apartment. It's hard enough to throw out all the ads I get in the mail.

Thanks @bmasters9. I only read the NYTimes online and there tagline isn't there. I think it should be. Of course digital is not "print" but in the age of online conspiracy theories the need to be "fit to print" has never been more important.

Good luck with your appointment @TattleTeeny! I remember that I posted here about my credit card being hacked and having to change all kinds of recurring payments. Now another one has been hacked! I swear I am a careful person. I have to go to my records now and see what card I am charging my prescriptions to. Among other things . Can't believe this.

I seem to see that a lot with kindle books. I have to wonder if it's some kind of software glitch that happens when they translate the text to whatever Kindle is based on. I used to scan magazine texts sometimes for one of my jobs and it never came out perfectly.

I really liked the vet episode. Just the right mix of multiple suspects and comic relief with Frodo and his pet. I particularly liked the scene where Chalmers was in the office and one person after the other gave him the exact same runaround. I did kind of suspect the killer though as the show went on though I wasn't at first sure why. Missy's been a great addition to the show I think. The actress is funny and she gives Chalmers someone to relate to and trade quips with. I wonder how long Mike's marital status will hang in the air. When Beth said she didn't want to play footsie I didn't think she was talking about Hercules!

What made me think of it is that apparently there is no word for "hot flashes" in Japanese. Again, this is purely speculation on my part. But there are good reasons not to eat a lot of meat.

I never thought I'd talk about this online but: I had terrible cramps for decades and then when it came to Menopause? Not a single hot flash or night sweat or cramp or anything. My tentative theory is that I stopped eating meat most of the time but who knows.

Haven't watched yet but as far as cameos go, I'd love to see Marsha Warfield come back as Roz. But who knows, maybe even John Astin as Buddy?

I was talking to my family over video and heard loud thunder out the window at least four times here in the city. It's been absolutely awful all weekend. My Ipad was telling me that my neighborhood was in a "flood zone", a bit of hyperbole fortunately. Still I am happy not to be out there walking in it. It's been really cold too, with temps in the low 50s and feeling like the 40s at times. It should be a lot nicer in maybe a week.

I agree with all the above, he should be reported, In the meantime, you can get a locksmith to put a deadbolt on your door that you can lock on the inside. Call today before it gets to be night time so they will come today. Also 311 may have advice.

@oliviabenson is there somewhere you can stay overnight? Or go to the nearest policeman and report him?

I think my best looking doctor was my dentist. He was pretty handsome. Unfortunately he's semi retired so I don't see him in the office anymore. They say he rarely comes around. How time flies I guess!

My smart TV turning into a dumb TV today. In the middle of the day the remote, which had 2 new batteries, decided not to power on or off, change volume, input, whatever. The only thing I could do was run my Tivo from the Tivo remote, but then the volume went dead on Tivo. Somewhere in that time I tried removing the TV batteries and re-inserting them, the pressing the power button for a long time. Nothing. Then Sony mysteriously did a reboot. Still no sound on Tivo. Then in the evening the TV volume suddenly came back on. Then TV remote goes back to working. Meanwhile I figured out the Tivo to Sony remote control code so now I should have another working remote. Until tomorrow?

Yes it may not really be the end of Abby/Neil. Not saying that I'm hoping for it, but I can't stand Pete Holmes at all so I hope Abby at least does break up with Rand. The funniest part was Dan trying to get one of the prisoners to throw the drink at him and the actor failing at it. It was funny to see Bearded Guy again - I missed his first name, but isn't his middle name Marilyn? Hopefully they will start to have more in court characters and scenes. Right now I don't think there's much more to be gained with all the "personal" story lines.

Not going to say much yet because I've only seen episode 1 of Season 12 but I'm sorry to see Malcolm go. Of course he was obnoxious but he and Vera had so many memorable exchanges in a dark kind of way. Will have to see how the new coroner works out.

I feel like I'm having a similar issue. Decluttering is tough for me, especially living in a NY apartment where there isn't a lot of space and you pretty much have to mail donations to get anyone to take them. It occurred to me this week though that maybe I could give away some of my unopened photo chemicals. What with my vasculitis and also some recent pulmonary issues I don't think I should expose myself to them again for the foreseeable future. I did email two places in town to see if they or their students might want them for their darkrooms. One was kind enough to send me a polite no. If I don't hear from the other, I guess I will have to haul this stuff to the next Safe Disposal Event in June.

Tacos Grand Central. The quesadilla was okay though. Barnachos was even worse, the sent the nachos ingredients in separate packages so I had all this liquidy cheese all over the place making a mess.

Funny (not ha ha) that this should come up but I just ordered a Seamless delivery after being tired from laundry day. My favorite Mexican place, Baby Bo's Cantina in midtown Manhattan, went under around last November and I simply cannot find a decent substitute. Thanks to Seamless I paid about $25 for an adequate cheese quesadilla and an awful serving of nachos. Why can't these restaurants make nachos by, you know, heating the whole thing up and not dumping warm cheese on cold chips? I know that restaurants really suffered during Covid here, but now between delivery prices and the outside seating still taking up half the sidewalk it's all getting pretty irritating.
