What they don't mention is that one of the boys' brother is inside the snowball.

Darn, no WORST WEEK.  Thanks for the heads up.

I watched parts of a couple of episodes and I found absolutely nothing even remotely funny about what I watched.  I didn't think that it was bad per se and I certainly respect that you like it, but I didn't find it funny...at all.

Horseracing.

After the first episode of WORST WEEK I decided I never wanted to see it again. I found it gross and not funny in the least.

Has anyone else gotten a "personalized" grocery receipt that lists peanut recalled foods you may have bought.  Freddy's gave us one last night and, sure enough, we had some Kashi cookies that were on the list.  We would have never thought to look for them--but their chocolate chip cookies have peanut oil in them.  Maybe SWW knows something about this.

What kind of outfit knowingly sells their customers "recalled product"?

SWW tells me that his store's computers are regularly updated to reflect recalled items, which are promptly pulled from the shelves - should an item sneak through, the register will prompt ITEM NOT FOR SALE when scanned.

At long last:

My copy of "The Glorious Ones" has arrived.
Of course I've still not really listened to "Dessa Rose" so I should not ne worrying about the delay!

[JoseSPiano]

I'm DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What can I say?

No boy would be that mean - a sister, maybe!

BTW DR Uncle Jo Jo - it was easier to obtain a copy of the theme from "Quantum Of Solace" than it was for "Casino Royale" which you kindly provided last year.

[JoseSPiano]

DR DERBRUCER - I believe those "lists" are covering the products that appeared on the updated recall lists since some of those items may have been sold BEFORE they were they were listed.

[TCB]

I'm DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By whom?

[Cillaliz]

I guess I should have said the stimulus not the bail out. 

I know Cilla, I have panic attacks when I think of the "bail out"

The Whatever bill is far from a done deal. Once the Senate passes it, likely tomorrow, it still has to go to Conference - and then the fun begins. Although the House and Senate bills are within pennies (well, $7,000,000,000.00) of each other, the split between spending and tax cuts is dramatic; the Senate version has ~$100B more in tax cuts and ~$80 less in spending. One compromise would raise the total spending figure (the House agreeing to accept the tax cuts if their spending is restored) - which version would probably lose the three Rep Sens needed to pass the final version. Indeed, the only bill likely to get final Senate approval is just about what they have now, which would require a total capitulation by the House - which their members might agree on, but Speaker Pelosi unlikely to allow to come to a vote.

The House and the Senate could, in fact, deadlock and there will be NO bill. And that will not displease some people.

der Brucer

IMHO - It's ironic that the Senate bill removes all spending in support of education construction and expansion of Broadband access - the very few areas that it is fair to burden future generations with the bill. Also, expanding Pell grants and increasing tax credits for college tuition is of no value in states like CA which are already cutting enrollment opportunities for folks who can already pay

My point was that no matter what the final cost, Obama said that this is only the first bill and isn't intended to help with the mortgage crisis which will be another package or other issues which will be still another package.  His town hall was a lot like a campaign speech.   The statement that got me was "While we were spending money we decided to include..."

[JoseSPiano]

BTW DR Uncle Jo Jo - it was easier to obtain a copy of the theme from "Quantum Of Solace" than it was for "Casino Royale" which you kindly provided last year.

It's just too bad that the "Quantum of Solace" theme was/is a crappy song (IMHO).

[Tomovoz]

Second only to the Madonna effort IMHO.

Oh, greetings from St Paul>.  It was really windy leaving Sioux City and the last part of the flight was through the middle of clouds.  The sort of flight where everyone is silent and you can't see anything out the window.  Sort of feelis like you are in a dream. 

It was raining when I landed and my cabbie, from Somalia told me about a man found frozen to death with no shoes or coat, the bridge collapse, the floods years ago etc... don't know what brought on the natural disaster discussion..so I mentioned having friends in Australia who I am very concerned about.  He knew the current death toll etc.   Amazing guy.  Anyway, he had a red beard - like a bright red dyed beard.  It was an enjoyable ride

[Tomovoz]

I'm pleased that the original Bond theme is still used in the movies.

Some stores track your purchases by your check, or debit card or you can join a club.  They store all that in their computer so they can target ads etc.  Creepy if you ask me. That's what I thought JMK might be referring to - as in they had purchased a recalled product in the past and here's a list of your purchases so you can pull if off your shelf at home

[Tomovoz]

It's sort of odd that two of my favourite Bond Movie themes belong to the "Non Official" films:

The Look Of Love
Never Say Never Again

There's a really nice restaurant on the first floor of the hotel. It has some really nice looking fish entrees including a great looking salad with citris marinated grouper in it.   I'm going to clean up a little (I always travel in my grungy clothes) and go down for dinner.  Then time to work

I didn't record the show until a few episodes in which I think made the difference.  Keith liked it right away, it took me a few more times.  I really like the parents now & the stories are much better & the 4 main characters connect better.
