Went to Amoeba yesterday. Now I understand why the put all the other stores out of business.

I limited myself to 3 cds although I could have bought at least six more.

I did not have the patients to look through all the dvds and blu rays

[Michael]

Also I tried to go to several movie poster memorabilia stores three listed on line are no longer there.

And those that know LA there is one at Sunset and Laurel Canyon. Very difficult to find a parking space

[Michael]

Also glad that  I got the email re Nudie. I thought it was 8.  Its at 7:30

I saw in today's obits that actor and writer Chip Hand passed away. The name sounded so familiar to me, but I don't know why. Had he been mentioned on HHW before? Or maybe I saw him in an episode of Room 222, or something.

Chip Hand, if I remember correctly, was a "close" friend of Merv Griffith's, if you get my drift. I think our DR Charles Pogue worked with him. Or was it BK?

Look at


March 16, 2009

OH, so it was BK who knew Chip Hand. Mystery solved. Whew.

Searching around the internet I came across Chip Hand's Myspace page http://www.myspace.com/chiphand . You can listen to him sing a few different songs...he certainly had a beautiful song.

Strangly enough, he last logged into his myspace page the same day he died. 55 years old, way too young.

OOHH!!!

Apparently, today is also National Strawberry Shortcake Day!!!

OMG!!!

We do get all the best food reporting here at HHW!

(And I wanted to lose another five pounds...)

Strawberries are good diet food.

So is watermelon.  I've been eating a lot of watermelon with my cold.

Glad you are feeling better.

[Jane]

DR George, you look very handsome in your new glasses.  Did you save your old ones as a back up?

There wasn't a doctor in the house?

[Jane]

DR Jennifer thanks for the baking report.  Good for Megan experiencing the new activities yesterday!

What cruise line did you travel where the food was so good, and how long ago?

It was Carnival cruise line. Although my parents have been on Norwegian many times and they found the same thing i did. My cruise was i think in 2000.

We have never been on either of those.   We were very impressed with how organized Princess was.  Overall we were very pleased & should we decide to cruise again we might go on them.

[Jane]

DR Jane, I think our cruise was in Dec/Jan 2007.  To the Carribean.

I thought you said it was a long time ago?

 

DR Daw did you try the cookies?  I thought our HA cruise had horrid cookies, completely uneatable.  We had multiple problems with them making errors.  I must admit once our group went to complain things improved, too much in fact.  Our names must have been on a list to be nice to us & it was so obvious it was embarrassing. 

As for the food, I think much is expectation.  We were comparing to the food we had on Princess in the 90's& even Princess can't match that. 

Once of the things I enjoy about a ship is talking to the international staff.  The Romania people really too to us once they new we had visited their country & have a daughter-in-law from there.  Many of them said they rarely meet anyone who has been to there.

Nice glasses, DR GEORGE.

Thanks, DR ELMORE....I shall await the results.

I had six....count them....six people at auditions today.  That's the bad news.  The good news is that I can definitely use 5 of them.....and I can use all six if necessary....depending on the turnout tomorrow.

[Ginny]

DR Ginny - I think you provided a link to a site some time ago that gave book recommendations; i.e., you enter a title and author that you like, and the site pointed you to other recommended books.  Does this sound at all familiar?

DR DAW - in library-speak, that's called Reader Advisory and, yes, there are some websites.  You might try:

or

[DAW]

Hey, DR Ginny - thanks a bunch!!!!!              

[Ginny]

Hey, DR Ginny - thanks a bunch!!!!!              

You're welcome, DR DAW.  Some of the best RA tools are fee-based databases (Novelist and What Do I Read Next?).  You might be able to access them through your local public library.

[Jrand73]

No DRJOSE - I didn't get much sleep last night, but I shall go to bed early tonight....like right now!

DR MBARNUM thanks for recording the UFO HUNTERS for me....perhaps some day my sister's episode will really be shown.  I don't need any of the others.

[Laura]

I had six....count them....six people at auditions today.  That's the bad news.  The good news is that I can definitely use 5 of them.....

I would have been the sixth one.

I would rather book a six week cruise to Iceland on the Staten Island Ferry than ever set foot on a Norwegian Cruise Ship again.  The worst food and the rudest service I have ever experienced. 

I love most of the other cruise lines I have sailed on (although I am a little old for the Carnival experience anymore).  Princess has always been consistantly first rate; and after November, I will let you know about Oceania Cruises.

[Jane]

Have you ever been on a Crystal cruise?

[JoseSPiano]

Good Evening!

Today turned out to be quite a stunner of a day here in New York City.  The sun came back out, the temps stayed on the cool side, and there's been a nice breeze blowing too.

[JoseSPiano]

And now I shall attempt to post while I watch the season premiere of "True Blood".

[TCB]

Have you ever been on a Crystal cruise?

Are you asking me, Jane?   No, I have never been on Crystal, although I would like to check them out.

May I order that kind of weather for two weeks from now?

Ginny, have you figured out how you are going to get north of the city on that Sunday night or Monday morning?

[JoseSPiano]

My friend, Allen, called me up earlier, and said he was in the mood to go to a Street Fair.  So, we went to the Street Fair that happened to be taking place in DR elmore's 'hood.  It was on Broadway from 73rd up to 86th.  It was the usual street fair set up, with the usual street fair vendors.  We just did a lot of browsing and people-watching.  Allen did end up getting a sausage and peppers sandwich.  I really wasn't in the mood for street fair food, so, instead, I ended getting two hot dogs with everything from Gray's Papaya.

I shall put in the request first thing tomorrow morning.

Yes, I was asking you.  I suppose I'm interested if any DR has been on them.  I thought you might have at some time.  I would like to try them. 

[JoseSPiano]

DR George - Nice (new) glasses.

DR elmore is that the same street fair we went to?

DR TCB - we gave up.  It was just Richard who would have gone to the ordination.  We investigated trains, busses (with DR Elmore's help), and even planes, but nothing seemed like it would work.  Thanks for asking.

How about Silver Seas?  The cruise my parents took earlier this year was on Silver Seas, and they loved it.  I've also had some friends who have worked on cruise ships from time to time, and they've all said that the Silver Seas ships had the best accommodations for the staff and entertainers.

As for Norwegian... I've heard varying things about them.  It seems to be vary from ship to ship.
