I have the first three issues if you would like them.

[Cillaliz]

Post deleted.  Have already ranted publicly about it...don't need to do it here

[Jane]

lol, no thanks.  i'm still baffled by the gift & that you have no idea which friend would find it funny.  maybe they won it and put it in your name instead, hard to imagine paying for it and not taking credit for the gag.

[Cillaliz]

Had a nice morning.  Went to coffee with Gretchen and Carol then we did a little sight seeing and they headed to the art museum and I went back to work.  It was a crazy day.  One of those - finally getting back to work after being preoccupied days when you realize that some things have just gone to hell while you weren't paying attention and now it's time to make a lot of noise to say 'no I won't let you screw over my client' days.

[Cillaliz]

The funny thing was I had a call from someone regarding a different case at the end of the day and he said "You don't even want to hear about what I've been through today"  I knew exactly how he felt, lol.

[Cillaliz]

Late yesterday afternoon I received several plants and a nice bouquet of flowers.  They were all from the small little flower shop that I usually go to.  No wonder they were all smiles when I picked up the center piece for the table very early yesterday afternoon

Someone apparently spent some money to pull a prank on me.  Last week I started receiving my new subsription to BRIDE MAGAZINE.

The magazine agreed to cancel the subsciption, but refused to tell me who or where the order came from.

You could've donated the subscription to your local library.  We get donations like that all the time.

[George]

lol, i don't know what  ASCII stands for.  i did the rest, except i didn't use the 10 key pad.  i always use the numbers at the top of the keyboard, not the ones at the side.  i'll try that.

For the "Alt +" combinations to work, the numbers have to be typed on the 10-key pad.  For some reason, it was set up to work that way.

[Druxy]

I have as of this moment finished my new book.  519 manuscript pages, although that could change when I go back and read what I wrote.  Also, I'm still going to go back over all my original notes, which I actually never looked at while writing, and see if I missed anything important.  If I did, I'll plug whatever it is in in the appropriate place.  I am quite emotional right now, as I always am at the finish.  I knew it might be today - I could have stretched it out until tomorrow, but I just barreled ahead and finished.  I'm sure I'll have to smooth out stuff and make some fixes, additions, and subtractions, but it's done.  I don't think I'll print the pages for muse Margaret until Friday, because if I give them to her tomorrow night, I won't be around for her phone call, since I'll be off to see Camelot.

Mazel Tov!

[Cillaliz]

Congrats BK!!

I just revised the epilogue - I found that I'd overwritten it and that two entire paragraphs were unnecessary - gone they went and I hated the penultimate paragraph, so I finally got that just right.  And now I shall go finish The Music Man and then later I may go over what I wrote today.  Or not.  Might just do it tomorrow at my leisure.

, nice of your friends. 

[Cillaliz]

Thanks Jane, it was.  Now if Edith and I can keep them alive, neither one of us has a green thumb when it comes to house plants

Interesting fact of the day.

A lot has been made of all the millions that Avatar has made in the past two or so months. It is #1 in the USA and the world


BUT!!!

If you take into account box office grosses adjusted for today's dollars

Avatar is only #21 on the all time money making list.

Top Ten are
Gone With The Wind
The Sound of Music
ET
The Ten Commadments
Titanic
Jaws
Doctor Zhivago
The Exorcist
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

I think that this is the list so people can see how todays movies stack up to the films of the past.

reminds me, i really need to water our one plant.   it is amazing it has survived me.

[George]

Well, I must be going.  I'm on the Theater Artists Olympia's play-reading committee and we're having a meetting...NOW!  We're reading plays/musicals to decide what to do next season.

Be back later!

Actuaaly, you left out STAR WARS.

It's #2.

I learned that symbols as "interbang," but it never really gained much practical use even though in theory it is certainly approrpate when the question you're asking is also something exclaimed:

"Did you see that" which could use either ? or ! but the symbols for both would be most appropriate.

[Matt H.]

That alt + code didn't work for me either. I got an equal sign.

[Matt H.]

I just got back from BILOXI BLUES. It's still a funny and touching play. Amazing that Neil Simon won his first Best Play Tony for it. (He won "Best Author" for THE ODD COUPLE but Best PLay that year went to THE SUBJECT WAS ROSES).

This production was blessed with a terrific Sgt. Toomey. Eugene was good but was a trifle soft in delivery. The Arnold Epstein was also wonderful.

[Matt H.]

I didn't have a chance to watch anything else before I left for the theater. I had hoped I could squeeze in NCIS: LA, but there just wasn't time.

And, of course, tonight added to the DVR cache was MODERN FAMILY, HUMAN TARGET, PSYCH, and LEVERAGE. Oy!

[Matt H.]

Tomorrow's work disc: THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND on Blu-ray. I never got around to watching this even after Forest Whitaker won the Best Actor Oscar, so I'm looking forward to it tomorrow.

Watching The Music Man.

[Cillaliz]

Well, I must be going.  I'm on the Theater Artists Olympia's play-reading committee and we're having a meetting...NOW!  We're reading plays/musicals to decide what to do next season.

Be back later!

Sounds like fun George

[Matt H.]

Well, since I only got 6 1/2 hours of sleep last night due to the lateness of the hour when I turned out the light, I'm going to head down now and see if I can't increase that amount by at least another hour.

Good night!

[Cillaliz]

I am SO happy that everything went well with the move, open house etc, but I am even more happy that all the hoopla is over and I can just do my work, relax and do some of my projects around the house.   Whew!  The past few months were definitely worth it, but man was that a lot of work

[FJL]

Happy birthday to dear Edisaurus!!!

[FJL]

I'm sorry to have been E&T today, and although there was much tax work - I somehow became obsessed with some threads on All that Chat today.  I am sorry, and will try not to become so ATC-obsessed again, at least to this degree.

[Edisaurus]

Thank you Dear Julie!

I had a wonderful day and it was enhanced by my on-line family here at HHW

What he said!
