Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a rant, and now it is time for you to post until the USPS cows come home - they're currently filling out customs forms and the big ones, as they weigh over sixteen ounces.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR MBARNUM!!!!!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #4 on:** December 10, 2009, 01:00:26 AM »

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And, well, I'm still up, awake, and just not sleepy. Hmmm...

George · « **Reply #5 on:** December 10, 2009, 01:07:38 AM »

One more post, Jose!

I'm just sayin'...

bk - First of all, I know that all those USPS forms can be a hassle, but, just be thankful that you're receiving orders from overseas. (And I know you know that, so...)

Secondly, and I know a couple of us DRs have mentioned this before, but... If you registered for a free account with the USPS Online Services, you could print labels, postage and customs forms online. Additionally, by registering with the USPS you would then qualify for at home package pick-up. This would also make it easier to track all of your orders, and even arrange for merchandise returns if needed. AND the USPS offers up to a 14% discount when you use their Click and Ship system.

And here it is! Jose has reached the 45,000 Post Plateau! Congrats, Jose!!

I am now addressing Christmas and holiday cards! I hope I have everyone's current address.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #9 on:** December 10, 2009, 01:23:57 AM »

Thank You, DR George!

George · « **Reply #10 on:** December 10, 2009, 01:26:03 AM »

My pleasure, Jose.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #11 on:** December 10, 2009, 01:32:47 AM »

Well, I know it's late where DR George is, which means it's even later where I am. So... Guess I should try to catch a few winks.

Goodnight.

But before I go...

As for the Topic of the Day...

I'm still pissed off that the pit band/orchestra of Dreamgirls did not receive an acknowledgement during the curtain call.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #13 on:** December 10, 2009, 01:35:24 AM »

And maybe I'll have something a bit more substantive to rant about after I get a couple of hours of sleep. Once again...

Goodnight.

George · « **Reply #14 on:** December 10, 2009, 01:44:00 AM »

And I'm off to bed. Good night from me.

I completely agree. Especially now, I think this bears investigating.

Anthony is looking at new cameras and will probably get a Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS. It's easy to use and the picture quality is very good (for a point and shoot). The two things he doesn't like is the power source is a rechargeable lithium battery and it doesn't come with a memory card, you have to buy one along with the camera (it does come with a battery charger though). The Canon PowerShot A1000 IS uses AA batteries (supplied with the camera) and comes with a 32mb memory card (ahh, the days when 32 megabytes was considered huge) so at least you can take some pictures right out of the box.

Arthur is on in an hour and 15 minutes. It's nice to be home at 7am

Ben · « **Reply #22 on:** December 10, 2009, 02:44:13 AM »

It is supposed to get much colder today and tomorrow. Right now it's around 42 but the weatherman says it feels like 30 and tomorrow the temps will drop into the 20s.

I'm from Minnesota. 30 and 20 are not cold

DAW · « **Reply #23 on:** December 10, 2009, 02:45:14 AM »

I suppose I should know who/what Arthur is.

Unless you mean the Dudley Moore film.

DAW · « **Reply #24 on:** December 10, 2009, 02:45:46 AM »

30 is the new 20.

DAW · « **Reply #25 on:** December 10, 2009, 02:54:33 AM »

Would this color highlight my natural complexion?

No, it's just a show that DR Sandra and I enjoy very much. It's about Arthur Read (an anthropomorphic 8 year old aardvark) and his family. He represents the average American 3rd grader. He has two sisters, a mother, a father and one maternal grandparent and one paternal grandparent. He also has a dog and a best friend, Buster, a rabbit who likes to eat.

Arthur

The show is on PBS Kids (one of the digital channels on non-cable television) at 7am and 7pm every day. Now that I'm on vacation I can indulge and watch Arthur.

Thursday morning greetings! Our household is up early today to see DS Rob off to the University of Cincinnati to turn in his last paper and take his last exam.

Happiest of birthdays to DR MBarnum!
