DR GINNY - Indiana used to have annual inspections - and they were a burden on a LOT of people. AND they seemed to be totally arbitrary. My car failed inspection once - I took it to another dealer - and it passed the very same day.

Well, DR JRand, this inspection is part of the continuing saga that began with Rob's accident that took place 13 weeks ago today. But who's counting?

I hate it when I buy CDs I already have. At least this time I got a standalone release with a different name and cover than I already had it in a two-fer.

Ben · « **Reply #65 on:** February 02, 2011, 08:22:06 AM »

Thanks JMK.

I've curtailed some CD buying because there are times I don't remember if I already have the CD. I go home and look through my collection before I buy now. I need a mobile spreadsheet with everything listed so I can just buy something if I see it.

Mom went to the doctor this morning and she's recovering on schedule. She has stopped taking the pain pills and she's moving around the house fairly well. That's good news.

I'm the same. And I've stopped buying too many duplicates. Don't need three versions of Mahler's 8th or another version of "Annie Get Your Gun."

LOL DR GINNY.

How many recordings of Candide does one need since most of the time I just play the original w/Barbara Cook anyway, though there are things about the 1997 Broadway revival that I like.

Ben · « **Reply #71 on:** February 02, 2011, 08:38:34 AM »

Glad to hear your mother is on the mend John

Yesterday, I watched THE STRANGE DOOR with Charles Laughton and Boris Karloff.

I remember when that film came out in the very early 1950s, yet this is the first time I'd ever seen it.

I can, truthfully, say that this is one of the worst written, directed and acted films I have ever seen.

But, the sets and the lighting were terrific.

I have the DVD of THE STRANGE DOOR sitting on my table at home, from Netflix. I saw it when I was a kid and all I recall is that I liked the leading lady, Paula Corday.

I have not yet gotten around to watching it.

Yeah, well, I just bought my fifth and I said that before I bought it. Thankfully, it was only $5.99 for a double disc set.

Don't know if you can read it, but I'm featured at the bottom of the page in the latest issue of Spirit, Southwest Airline's magazine. The topic: Bean burgers, a San Antonio tradition made with a hamburger patty, refried beans, cheese and Frito's. Good eats.

MBarnum · « **Reply #76 on:** February 02, 2011, 08:46:55 AM »

and happy birthday to DR Iris, who is missing in action!

Nice, DR John G! I'd like one of those sandwiches for lunch...

Thanks Mr. Barnum. You always send the best cards!

Love the war stamps card, MBarnum. Great artifact.

So, Richard called the BMV and found out that their computers are working. So he skated down the driveway and is over there accomplishing the next (dare I say final?) step.

JMK · « **Reply #82 on:** February 02, 2011, 09:18:09 AM »

. . .and so we say, 'hip-hip, chin-chin.'

Watched the new BD of 1968's THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR last night and must now post my review.

Sally Forrest is the leading lady for THE STRANGE DOOR.

Paula Corday is in THE BLACK CASTLE.
