    Anybody seen the new "Snow White"?


    I have.  It was better than I expected.  I liked it.

     

    I'm at a mall's food court.  There is a firetruck outside.  Can't tell if Ems is out there or not.  Some guy had fainted outside.  Hopefully he will be okay.  At least he is getting help.

    I might eventually when it hits Disney+.But there are a lot of other things on Disney+ I have had lofty plans to watch for years and still haven't, so... odds not good.

    Urrrrrggg Complaint: Building a huge indoor Catio from scratch with no time to cook. Hubby ordered a pizza (including tip for $43+)  and got a call center person who was very hard to understand. Gave that person the debit card number and was told no the card did not go thru. After 3 attempts he said maybe card is locked or you have no money. My husband was very frustrated, so I took his phone and said, "Maybe you are entering the card number wrong. So I slowly repeated the info and the guy says, "Are you sure you have enough money in your account. To which I made a rude retort and said transfer me to the local Pizza ***. He said I can do cash delivery and I said no transfer me. I get the local pizza guy (attorneys have lessor gate keepers) and say you guys need to fire the call center dude. He's either dyslexic or on drugs, because after 4 tries he could not get anything right. They tried once and it was approved for 35 without tip (tip to be paid on arrival). As the driver pulls up we get a fraud alert from our bank for the 43+ and click no amount not approved. The bank responds 'card locked contact customer support'. The pizza delivery says we have a cash order for 43+. We say no you should have an order for 35 prepaid and we will pay a cash tip. They drive away with our pizza. We check the bank and see there were 4 charges of 43+ and 3 for 35+. Seven charges for 1 pizza. Called the bank fumed. Obviously the guy was not dyslexic and the bank was the culprit. And to unlock our card they made us confirm every transaction made for April and March. Urrrrgggg x 2. Moral of the story? Cook while building a Catio, or pay cash for for deliveries, don't eat, or set the cats free. Sighs . . . and returns to building Catio Condo.

    Does anyone know how to mass delete iCloud old emails?  I haven't used iCloud in a long time and I want to start using it again.

     

    Also I think I need to use more of my streaming services than Surf Facebook.

    non complaint! I might be able to sign up for home internet with spectrum again for less than Gfiber.

    Non complaint I saw a car slowly driving near my home but it was going to the neighbors.  Can't have visitors as I'm leaving right now.

    Saturday 5th April 2025 - Approx 12:00 pm - Sainsbury's Supermarket:


    COMIXIANT:
    Hi!

    SEXY SAINSBURY'S STORE ASSISTANT:
    HI!

    COMIXIANT:
    You'll have to excuse my pronounciation here, but can you tell me where the Potato Door-Finn-Wah is, please?
    Did I say that right?

    SEXY SAINSBURY'S STORE ASSISTANT:
    Oh yes, that was really good actually!
    Hmmm ... dum-de-dum-de-dum ... oh here it is ...

    COMIXIANT:
    Yeah, that's the one, thank you!

    SEXY SAINSBURY'S STORE ASSISTANT:
    Yeah I think it's a French dish.

    COMIXIANT:
    To be honest I wouldn't even have known about it if it were not for a forum moderator mentioning it to me.
    I think he's secretly a closet gourmet chef or something, some of the fancy names he comes out with!

    SEXY SAINSBURY'S STORE ASSISTANT:
    Haha - it' is nice though - very nice!

    COMIXIANT:
    Yeah, it needs to be at £3 a pop!

    SEXY SAINSBURY'S STORE ASSISTANT:
    LOL ... well I hope you ENJOYEEEEEE!!!


    She even came back to me a few minutes later and asked if I knew if it was part of a meal deal!  So as you can see, Potato Dauphnoise is in da house (or flat in this case)!  I'll stick it in the oven for tea tonight and get back to you with my verdict (cause I can tell you're all dying to know after a week of Dauphinoise talk).

    But yeah, fancy that!  I mean if it's half as tasty as that shop assistant, I'm onto a real winner!

    Weather Report:  Rained all night.  Rain most of today.  50s - 60sF today, 40s-30s tonight.  Blah.frown

    Mini-adventure forcast:  Wednesday trip to eye doctor for new glasses prescription.indecision  Trip is to far side of the city so I might visit WalMart and/or the dying mall & franchise row area, possibly have lunch at Applebee's or Olive Garden.  Mmm... real food.smiley  Weather will be clear but cold(20s-30sF).  Yay, one more time to wear my wonderful, heavy, winter, quilt-lined, black leather, zipper festooned, worn & bendy in all the right places, biker jacket left over from my biker days 30 years ago.heart  Have recently decided that I need to treat myself to a new light jacket for spring & fall.  Wheee... shopping.yes   I've been wearing an ugly, frayed, stained, gray, two-sizes too big, stubborn zipper, hoodie, bought used at a yard sale, 17 years ago, while in my destitute phase.    Would like something like image below.  At one time (decades ago when my Max was still alive) I had a whole closet full of leather (mine & Max's).  Jackets(heavy & light), pants(long & short), chaps(biker & western),  shirts(long & short sleeve), vests, black, brown, racing onesies, hats, boots, various styles of gloves & gauntlets, & other accoutrement(Mmmm... leather​)heart.  Sold much of it as my world collapsed.crying  Kept some of the best of mine(custom tailored).  Haven't been able to fit into most of it for 20 years.  But that's still a goal of my weight loss efforts. (Almost there!)smiley

    Sainsbury's in in da dog house here - the pack of salmon I was going to use wasn't fully sealed. I had a piece of basa in the freezer, it wouldn'thave thawed  in time but I chopped it up and cooked it in milk, then used that to make a sauce, cooked the potatoes  early and sliced them up on top, and popped the result in the over for half-an-hour.

    Quite a tale.surprise   Some people don't deserve their jobs.angry  Only story I have to compare is a trip to my usual Popeye's in middle of Washington DC during the '90s.  Drove up to the 1st take-out window, ordered a meal, but was advised by the window attendant that if I ordered from the next window(rarely used) and paid cash I could get a couple extra chicken breasts for half the price.  So I did.  Then later (after they were eaten) I thought about it for a while and decided that I should probably advise the restaurant owner that the sketchily behaving people at their windows were probably skimming profits by stealing product and pocketing cash.indecision  So, I did.  Never heard what happened, but was never offered cheap chicken from there again either.devil

     My phone battery is dead.  After my break I need to charge it up with my portable charger if it still has juice.

    I don't know but I guess I have to turn 42.  I want to stay young forever, but I can't figure out which age.

    Well, 42 is an interesting number.  It's the answer to the "Ultimate Question to Life, the Universe, and Everything".   Well, at least according to the great computer "Deep Thought"  But that was only because the "Ultimate Question" itself was unknown.indecision

      On the other hand the number 42 does have some interesting properties according to Wikipedia.  But then again, the concept of "interesting" is subjective.indecision

    @Richard
    Well that doesn't sound good - lol - I had a similar thing happen to me with a pack of Smoked Bacon just after Christmas, which turned out to have had a pin hole in it, although to be fair it wasn't from Sainsbury's.

    So anyway, my verdict on Potato Dauphinoise is that it's quite nice, and I would definitely buy it again, but I didn't really taste the cheese and I would have to fill it out with something like Baby Carrots in the future.  It was 400G like a lot of ready meals, but it didn't feel as if it were.  But yes, defiinitely very nice!

    I have to say though, nice as it was, I was more wowed recently by a CO-OP-made ready meal called "Triple Cheese Spicy Dirty Fries".  I don't normally shop at CO-OP, but I popped in and it was on the sale rack so I bought it.  I wish I hadn't now, cause it's cost me a bloody fortune in buying more ever since!   The Monterey Jack Cheese Sauce that it's baked in is INCREDIBLY nice (and thick).

    Might not look much from the photo, but it's easily one of the most enjoyable ready meals I ever tasted, and 'll have to look into getting that sauce separately if I can because it's costing me a fortune buying it as part of a ready-made meal  Another problem is the size, it's actually smaller than the Dauphinoise, yet even more expensive!

    I forgot that jeopardy and wheel of fortune are reruns on Saturday.  Or did I think it was a weeknight?

    I could watch Pat Sajak host the wheel reunion or get the remote that is next to my feet and turn off the tv.  That is with the remote not my feet.  I'm not Elastic Girl or Mr Fantastic.

    @ArtAngel - what a hassle on a night you needed things to be easy! I hope the catio is at least going smoothly

     

    complaint: kiddo is in the process of losing his top two front teeth. He is really hating the experience. Sensory nightmare, and he can't escape his own mouth, poor little dude.

    That is the drawback with nice things, sadly.

    None-the-less reaching the final four was till a significant acheivement.

    Oops!  I was wondering if a guy who is half elf and he has twins.  Is is possible for one child to be an elf but the other one is not.  I can't think of a term for a regular person we see everyday.  Like you and me.  (Unless you are actually an elf.)

    How many types of elves are there?

    How many elf ears does Genesis 9 have without buying too many products?
