Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

Darn it Don.  I missed the whole show.  So hot here and I had to go out to Walmarts. Been going about 11 am before it really got hot. Got tied up doing something and did not get home until 2pm our time.  Here you start program at noon.
Now something is wrong with my computer and so got to mess with it.

Bubble. I have been falling asleep during the afternoon since the weather been hot. Getting use to taking a nap. Was it time for you to go to bed ?

Jeanne is was two hours earlier than my bedtime, but I just could not fight it. :(
So I too lost a good program.
Yes the heat is debilitating in the extreme and I had to be out to Tel Aviv, which can be a nightmare with the traffic.

JeanneP

Bubble. I am sue that Don will play any of the ones you missed over again. Couple of my favourites also. I just miss hearing his new voice.
I have not even considered driving to my family and friends who live 40 miles out of town. Just to hot

Had a shootout between 3 policemen and one man at the service station across the street from me at 1am this morning. It is the turn of to the interstate and he got away. Good to stay close to home these days.

I sincerely hope no one was injured in the shoot-out, Jeanne.

JeanneP

Just found out that there had been another gas station robbery about 2 mile down the road 5 min before. So the police cars were close. Had 5 working in the area and yet the one by me got away and still not caught. Also he ran away on foot. The car that they thought belonged to him he was just breaking into it.  Now I will be happy when the get him, If they do. Don't want him hiding out on my side of the road.  I keep the door locked all the time anyway. Kitchen window by it where I can see who is on my porch.
So he didnt get onto the Interstate. 
On the other robbery they got one man but the ones in the car they got away.
Getting like Dodge city around here.

Well at least it is not boring, Jeanne: lots of excitement!

My SIL is a State Police
Investigator. Keep telling him, I need a gun but he won't give me one. I would like to take up shooting at the Range. I learned how to use one when I was a teenager. It is a good sport.

Have you folks heard of Florence Foster Jenkins? She has the distinction of being known as the worst soprano in history. She was totally tone deaf and yet she would perform in front of packed auditoriums blissfully unaware of how bad she was. Reports say that audiences could be heard trying to suppress muffled hysteria as her recitals went on.  And the thing is, experts agree that she honestly believed she was a true diva.   Even more remarkable is the fact that a movie has been made about her starring the illustrious Meryl Streep. It is currently running in the U.K. and should reach America soon. 
Here's a link that will give you some idea of what she had to offer.

Oyyyy!
Reminded me of Judy (?)Bunker in All in the Family.

Edith, Bubble.

Some of the comments below are as funny as the music clip. Here is the trailer

That must be a film to see!  I bet Don won't miss it :D

JeanneP

This film is going to be so funny. There is nothing. She can't do. Did you recognise the 2 men? grant looked so much older. Hard to recognise.now in real .Miss Streep said to have a very good singing voice.

Jeanne I am looking forward to the movie. It opens next week in Canada

I am cruising around in Project Gutenberg and came across this old sound recording of The Ride of the Valkyries played by the American Symphony Orchestra and edited by Thomas Edison. Click on the MP3 audio file to hear it.

Don. Now will you see it in the Big Cinema. Not of TV. I still try to go to see the good one on Big Screen. Go about twice a month. If they get any more expensive it will be cheaper to buy the DVD. I don't buy snacks though. Take may own in my big purse.

Just to let you know, in a few hours from now Bubble will be boarding a plane to Canada;  she'll be in London Ontario on Friday for 3 weeks. Pictures to follow.

so_P_bubble

Mmmm... I think I changed my mind Don! Not flying that long!  :2funny:

MarsGal

By now, I guess Bubble is on her way. Happy landings, Bubble.

JeanneP

Don. Hope a safe, comfortable flight for Bubble. Its a long one. Is she flying alone? Sure will get help from the Airlines. Specially in this heat wave. Is it as hot in your part of Canada also.
Looking forward to some photo's.
JeanneP

JeanneP

Bubble.  Stop teasing our Don. He is so excited.
JeanneP

Radioman34

Bubble you pay attention to JeanneP :D

JeanneP

Oh! I am sure Don if Bubble can make it she will be there. As the Say in UK.  Just have the Kettle on.

Bubble is now settled in after a long sleep. Her children have gone off to see the CN Tower and other points of interest in Toronto while Bubble chose to stay back and relax. We chatted on Skype for a little over 3 hours, so we are all caught up for now but will chat again later. And tomorrow she'll be in London!

JeanneP

Don. You are confusing me. You say that some of bubbles family are in Toronto already. Is this her Son who lives in London? Where is she relaxing? London and then flying from there to Canada.  That will not be to bad. Just 7 hours.
JeanneP

JeanneP Bubble traveled with her daughter, son-in-law and grandson from Israel.

Tomereader1

I'm sure Don means London, Ontario?

Radioman34

Tomereader thanks for clarifying.  Yes, I meant London, Ontario, Canada, population 350,000 where I live.  Bubble's grandson got into a debate with with the taxi driver when he told the driver he was going to see his friend Don in London, and the driver told him London was in England, not in Canada
