Hi Nancy!
NB> [stretching limits]
NB>>> One could also set things up as separate orders (as we've done when
NB>>> buying for other people), which could work within reason... ;)
BM>> Yes and yes. Might be a little obvious one was trying to circumvent
BM>> the limitation if only the toilet paper was being rung up separately --
BM>> so one TP with eggs and milk, another TP with bread....
NB>> And a large family would have plenty of things they were buying as
NB>> well, to portion out... :)
BM> That's true. Might go through a gallon of milk per day, or every
BM> other day; head of lettuce for salad... I'm trying to visualize the
BM> Brady Bunch (old TV show) when coming home from shopping.
NB> Yes, I know the Brady Bunch... ;) And they only had six kids...
NB> ;) I was one of eight... <G> We easily went through a gallon or
NB> more of milk daily... (which was why they started doing the
NB> 'funny milk', instant dry skim milk, to make the whole milk go
NB> farther)...
Yes -- a little "Milk Helper", "Cereal Helper", "Helper Helper" would be
- ah - helpful! LIS some time back, I added water to the soy and rice
milk I was using for a while to make it go further because of the price.
NB>>>> Gives an clue how far in advance these shows are taped.... ;)
BM>>> Some of the summer shows are on now and so they must have been
BM>>> recorded several months ago.
BM>>> Sort of possibly figured out Jeopardy!'s reason for taping so early:
BM>>> in the past have done tours like to the Galapagos Islands so
BM>>> 'obviously' not doing the studio stuff then.
NB>>> As I understand it, there usually is a concentrated time of taping a
NB>>> whole season of shows.... one right after another all within a day
NB>>> or a few days...
BM>> Yes -- and for game shows makes sense to do several shows in one day
BM>> while the crew is there, studio set up, etc. Current Jeopardy! is
BM>> showing reruns of how the more winning contestants got to where their
BM>> final score was obtained. Had read where one of the considerations
BM>> was taping the show without an audience. With Jeopardy! the TV viewer
BM>> is usually unaware there even is an audience (though sometimes they
BM>> laugh or shown), I'm thinking at least let the family and friends of
BM>> the contestants be there, spread out.
NB>> Would seem reasonable to me... or at least some group of those...
BM> To me also. Probably some logistical issues and so easier to have no
BM> audience at all, or they're just waiting things out until return to a
BM> version of normal again.
NB> If they're considered a non-essential business, it would take
NB> longer to get going again, too....
True, though the way things are going in general audiences are going to
be verboten for some time. And of course there's the problem with the
number of various people required to create a show: not only the actors
and their circles of family and friends but the hair stylists, makup
artists, wardrobe designers and their insteraction with the actors, so
add their circles of family and friends to the equation. Now add in the
production crew....
BM>> ... Be sure to finish speaking before your audience has finished
BM>> listening.
NB>> A rule for lecturers in general... :)
BM> Especially class when the bell rings!
NB> They are supposed to finish before the last bell rings, anyway...
NB> ;)
Didn't always work out that way!
