A FaceBook friend just asked this question

"If I press 1 for English, why do I still get someone I can't understand??"


Just had to share. :)

Has anyone read THE LACUNA?  It is my next discussion book and I'm really not looking forward to reading it.

It's in my "to read" stack - should I read along with you?  I've been trying to decide what to read next...

We are on the phone with Craig discussing the weather.  Kitty is entertaining him.  She enjoys exploring the hotel rooms every night.
Is he in a motel room?  Hope he's not risking it if the weather is bad

We are under a freezing drizzle warning until 6 AM.  Glad I don't have anywhere to go tonight

I won't be getting the book until I go into town again.  I don't have to finish reading it until December 13th so there is plenty of time.  It would be fun to read it together.

I will probably finish reading a book tonight & begin THE NEIGHBORS, the third book in the series DR Jennifer got me started on.  Neighbors should be a quick read or I will have to put it aside to begin Lacuna.

Our Vixter is all grown up.

I guess she was last year, too.

No he is not risking it.  Yes he is in a motel, hopefully for no more than two nights.  Craig asked if he can put chains on a trailer.  Keith did some research & couldn't find a definite answer & told Craig if he does put chains on & drives not to tell us.  We don't think he will but you can tell how badly he wants to get back on the road.

TOD:

The Andrea Doria

I had a partially finished book I was writing that took place on the Andrea Doria on that fateful cruise.

Tell him not to take the risk, Jane. He is safe in a motel room. He may not be safe if he gets on the road.

Good morning, all! This is my pre-flight day and, since flying terrifies me, I'll need a lot of vibes tomorrow morning! Today I slept late;one reason may be the fact that the Oaf Above Me arrived home with a door slam around 1:30. stomped around for a bit in heavy shoes to a lot of clatter and then left with another door slam. When he came home later, he walked around with his shoes off, quieter, but he's got a heavy tread or maybe there are fewer carpets now that he's packing.





TRAVEL VIBES FOR DR ELMORE!

I assure you, Craig knows we don't want him driving & he knows he shouldn't.  If it looks like he will be trapped more than a day I think he might head to the coast & take the long way to us.  Tomorrow he will try and sleep in.  Yogi, the dog, is still on east coast time so we shall see.

Glad Craig is in a motel.  I've been snowed in more than once. I always really want to get going, but later am always glad I didn't

Well, tonight's batch of caramel corn is a hit!  I'm going to fix a tin to take to the cardiac rehab nurses on Monday (my last day) and the rest is for Richard and Rob.

Yes, Craig is doing the right thing by staying put.

I'm sure.  Of course a nice hotel is more fun to be stranded ;)  He doesn't have a pair of waterproof shoes and his umbrella broke in the wind.  I suggested he ask at the desk if they have an umbrella he can use.  I don't know if motels provide them like hotels do.

If Craig had known he would have a room with a frig he would have purchased more at the market.  To go anywhere he has to put the pets in the car and pull a trailer.  Last Keith checked it was beginning to snow in Redding.  I hope there won't be much snow tomorrow.

I have a minor complaint/statement.... I prefer doing the injections in my thigh vs my stomach.  I'm supposed to rotate locations during the month to avoid problems.  I might change the pattern after I complete the first month.

Yup. It was a typical Barbara Kingsolver novel. Very leftist, but dense and good. Great portrait of, among others, Frieda Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Trotsky. In addition to communism, it deals with gay rights, the McCarthy era and great food. I hope you have more than a couple of weeks to read it, because it really can be dense and shouldn't be rushed.

It wasn't my favorite of her books, but it's her best fiction since "Pigs in Heaven."

It's OK to complain about having to do that. It doesn't sound pleasant.

DR Jane - you have every right to complain about the injections.  I think you're very brave to be doing them at all.

I saw a story about her on MSNBC in the cardiac rehab gym yesterday - yes, the TV was tuned to something other than Fox News.

Thanks.  Honestly it still doesn't appeal to me.  I'll let you know when I'm done reading, and thank you for the tip to begin the book sooner than later.
