That

BIG BANG is on at 9 pm tonight.....Christine Baranski and Leonard's mother.

I think it's 9:30.

That is what Matt H said.  I'm going to go check now.

Does anyone know what those are?  I've googled images of a few critters & so far haven't found a match.

Seals/Sea Lions?

Note to fans: BIG BANG THEORY has been moved tonight to 9:30 preempting WORST WEEK.

Darn, no WORST WEEK.  Thanks for the heads up.  We dropped TRUST ME so it is just BIG BANK & THE CLOSER for us tonight.

Last night we watched BONES.  It was an excellent episode, like they used to write them.

I thought you watched MEDIUM!

A friend who works the register at a retail store says she's amazed how many people are startled when asked for their phone numbers on check-out.  They (the cashiers) are apparently judged in part based on whether they can get the numbers, if I'm understanding correctly.

He's watched Tremors too many times!

Wildlife or one of the little girls from next door.

It was a small child. And it was hungry.

The one on the left reminds me of Emmet Otter of "Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas."



Maybe not.

I spent all afternoon with HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3. (It's almost two hours - about 25 minutes too long though to be fair, this is the "extended edition" so I'm not quite sure what was added back in from the theatrical release.

How was it?  I really want to see it. Although i'll probably end up waiting till it comes on the movie channel here.

Feel better vibes for DR Vixmom! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I agree with DR Jane. At night you probably sleep in your bed? And during the day you probably sleep sitting in a recliner? Any variation could probably make a difference. I know i've had a cough for 3 weeks. And i've been sleeping as high as possible.

We do.   We are often a little behind on our viewing.

We used to refuse to give our number.  If giving my number means I don't need to keep the receipt than I'm more willing. 

We don't carry our market cards in our wallets & give them our phone number instead.  It is all about what benefits us as the consumer.

Well, at Woody's store the use of "real" phone numbers allows a patron to take advantage of Bonus Card savings even if they don't have the card on their person - particularly valuable when you need aggregate purchases to qualify for a benefit (like a free turkey of a quart of milk, etc.). Retail chains use phone numbers to create a demographic profile to aid in establishing regional ad buy requirements. Woody's store uses the phone number demographic to establish their "seasonal" store status to help upper-management project staffing and operating hour requirements. (In fact, the checkers get paid much more for "in season" work than the rest of the year.)

The seals & otters have black on their faces.  Maybe the black will appear in a week.

We'll take phone numbers at Borders, but we don't take an area code. . .

Neither - it is one of the Fairies at the bottom of her garden.

Wow!  There's a fairy who lives in MY garden, too!

Wow!  There's also a fairy who lives in your HOUSE.

At at Giant - the Bonus Card/Phone Number is the only way you can get the sale prices!

Back from errands and whatnot.  Finished the liner notes, credits, and track titles, but still have to do the blurb, which I'll probably do right now and get that sent off.  I'm supposed to hear the second score on our new CD this evening - hope I will, then he can send mp3s to my webgal and she'll have everything to get this sucker live by the end of the week, hopefully.  However, I'll announce here first, as always, so everyone can have first crack.

[DERBRUCER]

Some reporters are really idiots!

Helen Thomas can go to the head of the class:

Mr. President, do you know if any countries in the Middle East have nuclear weapons?

Almost as bad as the guy who wanted to know what was the timetable for withdrawing troups from Afghanistan (when we have yet to decide on a policy to put more troops into the area).

Hope your house gets finished soon.

WARNING:

The press conference ran over about 5 minutes and pushed the Network start times for the 9 PM shows - so, if you are recording any network shows between 9 and 11 you best pick up the following shows to get the endings.

[JoseSPiano]

Well... Dance call was fun.  As always.

[Jane]

Thanks DB.  I think we will be ok on the West Coast.  I will check if the 8:00 shows begin on time.

[JoseSPiano]

I just finished packing my carry-on, and I've set aside my clothes for the morning.  My flight is at 8:30, but I think I may head to the airport a bit earlier than "usual" just so that I can have a leisurely breakfast there.  -The airport is only a seven-minute shuttle ride from the hotel.

*I'm also sensing that if I don't set my mind to getting to the airport early, I may end up snoozing a bit even after the wake-up call.

[Jane]

Have a good flight tomorrow.

[JoseSPiano]

Have a good flight tomorrow.

Thank you, Jane.

Travel vibes to Jose!

Last week sometime, we received an automated phone message from Sam's Club about an item we'd purchased that's being recalled due to potential contamination.  Said item was purchased for and given immediately to our college-student son, who, I'm sure, consumed it long ago (we were last at Sam's in July).  He seems to be fine, so the product must have been OK.
