DR Elmore - the file you emailed to me earlier came through loud and clear - thanks!

You're welcome! I'm watching the final episodes of the 1983 BBC miniseries MANSFIELD PARK, which may be an improvement on the novel since it really is Miss Austen's dreariest novel. I'm slogging through it again but it is a hard go. Miss Fanny Price is an unfortunate name for a heroine, and I thought I'd bust a gut when Henry Crawford planning to ask Fanny to marry him told his sister, "My Fanny will feel wonderful when the announcement is made."

Hmm, sounds like Keir Dullea on LAW & ORDER.

Well, the family that plays together stays together.

Brother David will be performing at Seven Feathers which is about 90 miles from us, and the location of our first pit stop when we drive to Portland.

Is David a brother or a half-brother?

Half brother.

Okay, we've solved the mystery of Larry and TCB not getting their copies - there are about six invoices that aren't marked "completed" that we found, so obviously our crack helpers let these slip by - they'll go out first thing Monday morning.

Well, if I have to be overlooked, I am grateful to be in the company of my buddy, Larry.

Larry and Bruce - Brad Ross says to say hello. Brad and his partner Dru, a lovely lady and cooking enthusiast, are here for dinner. They're all looking at a cooking site, so i just hopped on here until they finish doing what they're doing.

Brad didn't send a hello to me?

Does Brad know you?

We made it almost to the end of Atonement and it was time for Numbers to start. Richard's watching that now and I'm going to bed. We'll finish the movie tomorrow.

'night!

TCB - Do you get off work at 2 every day, or only Fridays? I'm asking because they're rethinking our rehearsal plans, since they found out we're entitled to significantly more rehearsal time for Starfighter than we thought. I was wondering if we'd be able to switch our get-together to the following Thursday (the 22nd).

FJL · « **Reply #282 on:** April 25, 2008, 07:31:14 PM »

They're still looking at that food site. How long can people look at food?

FJL- I get off every day at 2:00, and can leave earlier than that when needed. You will have to run the dates by George, but we want to do what fits in your schedule, not our schedules.

Okay, Mac people - someone sent me a movie to download - eight parts as rar files (whatever that means). I got them all downloaded and tried to drag them to iMovie. Won't take them, says they have to be unzipped (how unseemly). So, I right click and it says "open with stuffit expander" only when I click that nothing happens. I dragged stuffit expander into the dock and tried to open it, but it just bounces - does that program not actually open?

Anyone have any ideas how I can get this into a movie I can actually view?

td · « **Reply #285 on:** April 25, 2008, 09:43:08 PM »

Not a Mac user, but a rar user:

What you have to do is select all of the .rar files, right click them and extract them into a folder (WinRar lets you select a folder to extract them into).

BK, did you get to talk to Edith Fellows this time?

td · « **Reply #287 on:** April 25, 2008, 10:15:23 PM »

DR MBARNUM, thank you so much for the heads up earlier! Mr. K. should be in my mailbox any day now.

bk · « **Reply #288 on:** April 25, 2008, 10:21:23 PM »

Mac doesn't do win - that's a Windows thing. I googled, found a solution that I think is working, at least something is being uploaded into iMovie. I couldn't tell if it took all eight parts (I think it must have), but it certainly is taking a humungous amount of time to load, even though it originally said sixty minutes to load - it's been about eighty so far.

Favorite youtube comment for the Debbie Reynolds "If I Had a Hammer" is one added 5 days ago, which reads in part:

"But in the end, it's all about Miss Reynolds and her impassioned commitment to both a brighter tomorrow and working her skirt . . . "

So... All my laundry is done. I got a good amount of cleaning, dusting and vacuuming done. I did some organizing - that is if you consider "organizing" dumping the contents of your desk into a storage box so that it can all be dealt with later.

And now I just have to pack. However, as I was folding my laundry, I set aside the clothes I want to take with me, so, literally, I just have to pack.
