Michael Rooker was the guest star in the last episode I watched, a kind of Colonel Kurtz from HEART OF DARKNESS style of rogue Marine out to find Ben-Laden. Interesting story.

No UPS deliveries today either, so looks like WHIP IT won't be arriving until at least tomorrow. I'll have to decide then if I want to put off finishing JAG or if I want to make WHIP IT wait another day to be dealt with. It's already past due date.

Now I'm in the mood to shop so I think I'll hit Target on the way home tonight.

I just read that the cast and crew of UGLY BETTY were informed this morning that the show will be ending its run in April at the end of the 20th episode of the season. They have four more episodes to produce, and that will be the end of the show.

Very sad but not a surprise given the very lackluster ratings the show has generated this year in its two (terrible) timeslots.

Well, I sped through my afternoon internet surf so I could get back down and watch more JAG. I hope I have time to squeeze in WHITE COLLAR from last night as well as skimming through today's soaps, but that will depend completely on how many episodes I can get watched by 9 p.m. Then I'll use my last hour doing what seems the best plan for getting things watched/cleared off the DVR.

Good Morning.

I'm at the office. The Mott Foundation and the Kresge Foundation await.

Anyone remember

S. S. Kresge Company(Sebastian Spering Kresge)?

The corporation changed the name to K-Mart in the 70s

I remember them as well as Woolworth's (with the lunch counter). We never had a McCrory's near us but as I toured around with various shows I saw McCrory's. Now they are all gone. Memories of another time.

I remember Kresge, along with McCrory's and McLellan's. (Was that local or do others remember?)

Does this mean we're officially old?

I am glad that i decided to watch all of the 2 hour finale of LOST.

I realized that there was so much i did not remember since it was 8  months ago. Also I was so glad that they included those little green blurbs at the bottom of the screen. I find those extremely interesting and informative.

Did anyone have a G.E.X. store in their area?  It was another mid-level department store that required memberships through unions or government employment.  My family made one shopping trip there (though a borrowed membership card) and I was again unimpressed (though 100% of my impressions of any store was solely based on the size of its toy department.)

We had G.E.X.. I was unimpressed, too. I think Treasure Island might have been a membership store, too?

We had Zayre's and they were open 24/7 which was always nice on Christmas eve for that last minute shopping!

Nope, DR JRand, not good.  It should be between 2 and 3 and had to be above 2 for me not to need the blood thinner shots.

It also starred the friend of DR DRUXY....Miss Diane McBain......part of the Warner Bros. Romance Collection, if you don't have the DVD!
