DR George, does your library offer an online link to previous books checked out? I would like to find my personal history & can't.
Sordid Lives, the television series, coming to DVD soon!

I would like to find my personal history & can't.Well, we have a link on our home page for "My Account." From there you can see what items you currently have checked out; what items have holds; what fines, overdues or notices you have...but not what previous books you have checked out. For the most part, once a book (or CD, DVD, etc.) is checked in, that information is deleted. If the library kept that information, the guv'ment could subpoena that information and use it for nefarious reasons. Libraries are all for freedom of information, but an individual's privacy is just as important.
Congrats DR TCB on hitting a millstone!

My memory is that Ruth Hossack of Hossack's Jewelry and Records had turned me on to Jonathan and Darlene because I had bought every Anna Russell recording she had in stock - I'm still missing one and the CDs are incomplete - and I was raving about Mrs Miller to her.I liked Ruth Hossack a lot, even though we were poles apart politically. She was crazy, a John Birch Society member, ultra-conservative, hater of anti-war protestors and blacks, yet we talked records, releases, and repertoire, and she clearly liked me because she was very generous in her discounts to meand even hired me the summer of 1970 to work the store. She had gotten so enormous that she spent her days in the apartment above the shop drinking gin and spending a lot of time in the tub because the water relieved the pressures her avoirdupois subjected her skeletal frame to. We had few customers during the day and an enormous stock that collectors from all over the country purchased, so she wopuld call me on the phone and tell me stories about record salesmen, artists she'd met, how she lost 100 lbs on a diet of shrimp and gin, and other matters.Her husband was a wonderful jeweler and a very kind and patient man.
Interesting that NCIS was so popular last year that CBS ordered 25 episodes rather than the usual 22 that most series get for a full season order. I am enjoying the shows and really think adding Rocky Carroll as the new NCIS director (after they killed off - deservedly - the poor Lauren Holly) improved the season considerably.

Hi DR Jeanne. How are you doing today? Where are you living these days, with a friend or on your own?
I hope that MATTH, ELMORE, and JMK had a better day today.
Quote from: Jane on August 14, 2009, 06:40:28 PMHi DR Jeanne. How are you doing today? Where are you living these days, with a friend or on your own?Hi, Jane. I'm doing better, thanks. I'm currently renting a room from a friend. It's cheaper than renting an apartment, and I have use of a WASHER AND DRYER! Yay! That was a big factor. Also, it's a win-win, as my friend was glad to have a bit of extra income. You could say that said friend is DF&H#4, although I am paying rent. The house is down near the Marina, so it's cool.
I guess the meds have made me a little queasy tonight. Pain has been less severe to be sure (finally), but I hate having this upset stomach.
