I think I like these early morning hours. I've accomplished more in the last hour or so (including a shower) then I could ever accomplish in one day!!!

Try getting up at 3 a.m. then, Matthew. You can get a lot done. Or maybe not.

Well, all hell has begun over my interest in selling my third of the property. I was sure the Macbeths would bite and take my offer, but my brother, I believe, is more interested in screwing me over at a lower asking price. Randy is upset by my actions, but I'm still angry that an attorney and my two brothers let my dad draw up this deed four days before his death. The property should have stayed in the estate, and I would have sold it last year, perhaps not at what I believe it will sell for once the economy stirs but we allwould have ended up with a nice share. I will never know if it was my dad's belief he could avoid our paying inheritance taxes (wrong!) or if it was a King-Lear-control issue to keep the three of us on speaking terms (wrong again!).

So, i'm off to Toyland. Tra la!

Icy conditions here this morning and lots of delayed and/or cancelled school openings. I just left later, took my time, and got to work OK.

But that didn't stop me from being jealous of DR Ginny!!

A bit snow and a bit if ice made the roads difficult this morning. So I think I will do all of my Wednesday shopping on Thursday, except for picking up the newspapers.

Interesting MR B story from Danise.

DR DRUXY is in Texas....when is the book signing? Are they advertising in the local papers?

HOLLYWOOD CAVALCADE sounds like a movie I would enjoy....hmmmmmmmmmm.....

NIP/TUCK was as outrageous last night as it ever has been, but the cast is attractive - usually.

My question for ASK BK day......what is your favorite William Inge play....and your favorite film made from a William Inge play, or written by Mr Inge.

DR MattH i too enjoy your tv listings of the day. Sometimes i forget certain shows are on. But am reminded by you!

Tonight on tv for me:

Top Chef New York.

I may try the new CW show, 13 Fear.

I do not get Damages tonight (will have to wait till jan 18th but that's okay, very excited about the new season.

I am curious has anyone seen the PBS Great Performances on tonight, Cyrano with kevin kline?

re: DR Jose's macaroni and cheese comments from last night.

1. re: the cheese baked on top being the best part.

Yep it is. Good call on your part (since i was considering not bakin git).

2. using meat.

Not an option, since one person is a vegetarian. And not sure i would like having meat.

3. Adding parmesean cheese for extra flavor. Do you mean the powdered stuff? (which i have).

Salt would have been a good idea. It was on the recipe (i checked). But i don't think i put any.

4. Onions, or mushrooms. Well my sis hates mushrooms, as does her hubby.

Thanks for the suggestions.

DR Vixmom, I"m glad Vixdad was not upset. I don't know him, yet i didn't think he would be. With all you are going through now, a little thing like a cabinet really is meaningless. So i'm glad he was not mad.

Good morning!

Torrential rains woke me up several times during the night so I didn't have the greatest night of sleep, and it was only 7 hours, another bummer. Still, looks like the gray skies are finally leaving us. This morning it was so warm walking out to get the newspaper that I could have sworn it was May!

Good news from DR ANN about Toby and the Day Care Center.

DR Laura, I was delightfully surprised by your watching one of my favorite shows BURN NOTICE, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It's such a fun caper show, and the personalities of the leading players are so captivating.

Send thanks to DR Elmore who turned me on to the show!

I have a question which maybe someone will know the answer to.

I received one of those steam mops. In the instuctions it says to use tap water. But they put a note around the mop saying it will last longer if i use distilled water.

Now i have a hand steamer and was told to use bottled water so it would last longer.

I was just wondering if i should/could use bottled water for the mop (i don't have distilled water).
Or could i just boil tap water and then let it sit. I'm not really a water expert. But i would like to try out my mop.

Thanks if anyone knows anything about this.

I've been struggling with whether to take another day off or go ahead and review what came in yesterday. Doing some research, I found out Paramount has renamed this National Lampoon movie for its DVD release which is definitely not a good sign, but since I am going to be in all day, I might as well get it out of the way while I wait for better things to arrive. I saw the UPS truck head down my street earlier this morning, but I never heard him stop near my door, so I don't think this morning's delivery brought me anything.

Distilled water will keep your steam appliance from clogging up with mineral deposits.

MattH, we watched several episodes of Burn Notice and The Closer. I enjoyed them. I never did see Edisaurus's name in the credits, though. There must be lots of editors.

Mornin' all -- I don't have much to say (I know, I find that surprising/shocking too) -- but I do have two questions, but not for bk, although I guess the one might be answered by him:

DR Druxy: Which area of Austin will you be living in -- close to town or in the 'burbs? (I like Austin so was just wondering -- you know, curious, like a cat)

General populous of HHW (since I'm never on when DR Jeanne is): Did I understand post postings to indicate that DR Jeanne is moving to California? Where? LA? If LA, which part? Again, just curious, like a cat.

That's one show that they've never shown here on any network.

I just read something that annoys me.

Pushing Daisies was cancelled. But they were supposed to air the remaining episodes.

Apparently they were supposed to show a new episode tonight, but it got pulled. And they don't know if/when they will air the remaining shows.

It is bad enough that ABC was so stupid and cancelled realy good shows (Eli Stone, Pushing Daisies). But now they might not even show the episodes they've got?

Did Ron ever make it to the Doctor?

No, he didn't. He waited and waited and waited for a telephone call but doctor never called.

I don't call the doctor directly...I go through the VA clinic's procedures. I was "interviewed" by one of the advice nurses who decided I ought to see my doctor. But she can only forward the info to him. She would have no idea if he was (1) at work on any specific date, (2) had any openings whatsoever, or (3) had time to check his voice mail or his e-mail. If she faxed information to the Oakland Clinic, heaven help me. There is a whole "other" bureaucracy that info would have to pass through (lots of non-medical folks deciding whether it was urgent or not!!!) that might have precluded it reaching him before the work day was over.

Bottom line: I'm alive, relatively assured of remaining so for the near future, and none the worse from not having gotten the call.

Still...the coughing is there, the glop is there and I think it's high time it was gone, gone, gone.

Distilled water will keep your steam appliance from clogging up with mineral deposits.

And boiling the water won't remove the minerals.

Laura, as I posted before, Edisaurus did not edit The Closer, she edited (created) the Teasers and Trailers that are part of the post-production process.
