Well, you've read the notes, the notes ain't what they used to be, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they ain't what they used to be either.

And the word of the day is: TRANSPICUOUS!
-
I can't think of any questions for you or anyone else right now, BK.
-
Just had to share. :)

I'm about to go to sleep. Today (after I sleep the night away) will be a long day. I'm taking the day off so I'll at least get to sleep in, but today will be the official, if belated, final performance of Reefer Madness! The Musical! We were able to get the use of the Washington Center for the Performing Arts Stage II (the Black Box) but we won't have the set. :-\ But the good news is that the entire cast, crew and band are able to do the show! No one had to back out because of prior commitments. :D
-
I've never been in a show where we've moved and had to re-block like this. I was in a show that performed in two different spaces (in Centralia and Olympia), but it was planned that way and they moved the set, so everything was the same, except for the backstage area. I hope everything goes well for us. ;D
-
And now, I'm off to bed.
Good night, all.

BREAK A LEG, DR GEORGE & CAST & CREW!!!!!!

Good Morning

Good Contractor News for Danise (though my caution about any papers you sign still hokds - scam artists are nice - that's how they work the scams....)

~~~IRS VIBES TO ELMORE~~~
-
Vixdad did not kill me and was glad I noticed the overburdened cabinent and emptied it before it fell off the wall
I still feel awful about it... he warned me and warned me I had too much heavy stuff in it and I didn't listen - he gets up at 6 AM to take me to radiation then drives me home goes to work gets in late because of my morning appointment so has to work late, he doesn't get home until 8:30 PM and then he had to start trying to repair a cabinent
-
The radiation has really fried my mouth and throat I am always thirsty but nothing can slake the thirst... what's really weird is that nothing feels cold on my throat - I tried eating an icepop - one of those frozefruit sort of thingies and was letting little pieces of ice slide down my throat and it was like it was lukewarm - really weird
I mentioned this to my doctor andhe said it was not unusual - he also told me to stop letting ice slide down my throat apparently it is "contra-indicated"
He didn't say why.
-
Vixdad told me to make a list of all the things I want to do when this is over I told him right now there is only one thing - I dream about it now (literally) I want to drink a whole gallon of freshsqueezed orange juice out of a frozen mug
I wonder how long it will take to get my throat and tastebuds back after they stop shooting me full of XRays....
hmmm another question for the doctor
-
Well I hope you all have a lovely day - it is 6 AM and the house is going to begin stirring - the Vixter hasd school and well you know where Vixdad and I are going...
LATERS!!
-
Good morning from Austin.
We have a 9am meeting with our builder to go over the house before they put up the inside wall. We're bringing along our own building inspector just to make sure everything is kosher.
More later...
-
4:53am, I'm up. I'm not sure how I feel about that at this moment. The DP leaves at 4:00am to get to the bakery, the dog was restless, and I was laying in bed thinking that more things were stolen out of my car than I had previously thought. I'll be checking on said things later today. I'm not sure if they were stolen or if I had removed them previously. The last 3 weeks have been a whirlwind, so anything could have happened. In the meantime, why am I up?

Continued love to vixmom and the vixfamily

Good morning, all! In about 30 minutes I shall run down to Toyland to drop off some edits, look for a few scores, and stop next door to drop off the NY State Tax info from three years ago. Yesterday I had a long telephone discussion with the estate attorney about selling my third of the property, and that led to an email to my brothers asking if they knew a third party interested in buyng my share before I offered it to another buyer. No response yet from them.
My days are all the same for the nonce: mornings with the Babes, afternoons with the Happy Fella, and evenings on other matters. I am at the moment just a little bit in love and that's frustrating me beyond belief. I'm too old for this crap.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vibes to the vixfamily and all others! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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.....

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!

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.

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.

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.
-
the glop is there

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.

I may be mistaken, but I think she only edits the promos for the episodes, not the actual episodes themselves. I'm sure she'll correct me if I'm mistaken.

Not bottled drinking water. That has minerals added for taste.
Bottled distilled water. You can find it in your grocery store.

On today's Ask Ausiello somebody asked if they were going to air the episodes this summer. And he wrote that as of now the guy who does Pushing Daisies had no idea about that. And Ausiello implied that wasn't necessarily the plan anymore.
I'd be surprised if they didn't air them. But why wait until summer? Then nobody will even remember the show.

I don't know. Maybe they meant regular bottled distilled. Maybe different terminology is used in the US and Canada.

It only looks like Tuna Glop.
Or, sometimes, it looks like one of those lime Jell-o/cream cheese mold thingies.

Jennifer you will be able to find gallon sized bottles of distilled water in the cleaning aisle oy your supermarket and tehy should be very cheap.
If you are not able to go out today and just want tot ry the mop one time I am sure one run with regular tap water will not destroy the mop - they are talking about mineral buildup over a period of time.
BTW which mop do you have? I have been very tempted by the "Shark" since I have a lot of hard wood floors and tile floors, but the $69 + price tag keeps me from buying it... if it's the best thing since sliced bread please let me know

Thanks.
Dear Confused: If you have or get one of those water filtration devices, such as the Brita Water system, you can use that easily enough. The water gets demineralized decently (although not entirely) and it should work in both your steamers. Plus, you don't have to keep buying bottles of water.
I have a Brita water pitcher which I use constantly. I never used tap water for my cat's drinking water and I've used the Brita water for my iron and my Scünci steamer for years without any mineral buildup.

I think I am finally at the end of the yearly dig-down to get things organized.
Torrential rains forecasted for today--they're expecting at least 3 inches of rain and lots of landslides. Oy.
I have things to do today, including assembling a bass book for an upcoming industrial gig I'm doing, preparing for the start of the new Pops session tomorrow, and also making varied and sundried PRODUCERS phone calls as that long slog begins (the show doesn't even open until July and we're already in pre-production, can you believe it?).

Speaking of TMI,
the nurse at Rediation said if I am thirsty all the time it means I am dehyrdrated and that I should use the feeding tube to drink water. I was mystified how sticking water inteh tube (which feeds directly into my stomach) could make my mouth and throat feel better - but by golly and buy bonds it did!
Now I have to keep track of how much water I am "drinking " to be sure I am getting at least 8 glasses in a day
I am learning so much weird stuff about how my body works. I think the vixter has biology next year - she should be taking notes on me I bet I would be a heck of a good extra credit paper!

Question for Everyone:
If you could be on a TV or Radio Game Show (past or present) what show would it be and why?
When I was a little girl and stayed home sick from school I used to watched a game show (I think it was called Concentration ) that involved having to locate 2 matching prize squares and then solving the puzzle the pictures would show
and I must admit that in the past month I have become addicted to to Deal or No Deal... well addicted isn't really the word, I don't seek it out... but if I run across it on a channel change I am sucked right in

About your cabinet - we've had quite an epidemic of cabinet crashes in my family lately. Before Christmas, the corner of our dining room hutch was bumped ever-so-slightly and a glass plate that was standing against the back crashed forward, breaking some glassware and scaring the daylights out of the person involved (name withheld to protect the embarrassed). Then, my niece in Illinois had one of her kitchen cabinets come crashing down in an event that could have hurt her, but, fortunately, did not. Then, just the other day, a shelf in my mom's corner cupboard came off its support and crashed on the shelf below. I'm glad you were able to take preventive measures yesterday!

I gave my love a cherry without a stone

But when you give a baby there's just one thing
You ought to give at least an engagement ring

Oh my goodness, I am glad no one was hurt.
That was actually Vixdad's take on it as well, he blamed himself for not noticing that the cabinect was hanging below its neighbor and taking action himself

and how do you like it? I have 2 all tile floors, I linolium floor and the rest of the downstairs is hardwood. I think a steam mop might make sense for me but I didn't want to invest the $$ for a fad that didn't work ....
I am a sucker for those infomercials though the only product we actually have is the Magic Bullet and that was because the Vixter convinced Vixdad to get it for me for Christmas a couple of years ago - I must admit we do use it just about everyday - but it doesn't do a thing for my floors!
-
It's not a mop.
It's a steamer, and I do like it. I use it on my appliances (great on grease buildup) and windows.

Hey now!
Oh, I wasn't referring to DR vixmom.

I'll have you know that I have excellent taste. Just ask DR Kerry.

IN THE HEIGHTS seems awfully redolent of JRB at times, IMHO.
I think most musical theater composers under the age of 35 sound like JRB, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. -However, since I live in southern tip of El Alto - Washington Heights and Inwood - In The Heights sounds a lot like the music I hear on the streets in my 'hood every day.

I've discovered it's one side of the adaptor's cords, the one that goes into the keyboard, that's faulty. If I press on it really hard, the keyboard works. However that makes conducting difficult. :)

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 always wanted to be on Password (I just reviewed a magnificent set of the 1962-67 CBS version). I also harbored secret fantasties of being able to use "smidge" as a clue, delivered in that weird, elongated, questioning manner that they used, usually to get them to say the opposite. I am known for saying "smidge" in that manner for no reason whatsoever.

In a perhaps related development, I am now the proud owner of the jewelry Frances Farmer put up for collateral in 1954 when she "disappeared" to Eureka, CA and needed a fast $250 to make her escape.

Not bottled drinking water. That has minerals added for taste.
Bottled distilled water. You can find it in your grocery store.
I never used tap water for my cat's drinking water
Neither did I, and with large dogs sharing the drinking water it became rather expensive at times. ;D

One good thing I hadn't noticed until last night:
My sense of taste is returning.
One bad thing I hadn't noticed until last night:
One should not have a sense of "taste" when one is de-glopping.
Yuck.

Speaking of TMI,
the nurse at Rediation said if I am thirsty all the time it means I am dehyrdrated and that I should use the feeding tube to drink water. I was mystified how sticking water inteh tube (which feeds directly into my stomach) could make my mouth and throat feel better - but by golly and buy bonds it did!
Now I have to keep track of how much water I am "drinking " to be sure I am getting at least 8 glasses in a day
I am learning so much weird stuff about how my body works. I think the vixter has biology next year - she should be taking notes on me I bet I would be a heck of a good extra credit paper!
I was concerned you would get dehydrated. I'm very relieved you figured this out before it became serious.
VIBES FOR YOUR WONDERFUL VIXDAD! I’m praying all your side effects quickly subside once the treatments are completed.
Thank you for the good wishes.

I asked about the recovery period after they stop the radiation - apparently it will be 1 -2 months before things start recovering but the sense of taste can take up to a year to come back
A year! :o I'm so sorry. :( As least you have a better idea of what to expect.

1. It is about a foot long flexible clear tube slightly wider than you r average drinking straw
2. I use a bulb syringe that looks like a small turkey baster (it holds 60ccs of liquid at a time if that's helpful)
I pour whatever I am eating or drinking intoa glass and then just suck it up the syringe and then put the syringe in the end of the tube (after opening the tube, it's capped like a blowup toy) and slowly squeeze whatever is going in,in.

Fat bottoms may be good for health, protect against diabetes - Harvard researchers
WOMEN can stop worrying about pear-shaped figures - fat bottoms have been scientifically proven to be a sign of good health.
New research, published in the journal Cell Metabolism, suggests the fat responsible for producing the pear shape flaunted by celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce may be active in protecting women from diseases by releasing certain hormones.
…
People with the apple shape, where fat is stored around the tummy, can be more prone to type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Those with pear-shaped bodies, where fat is collected in the buttocks, are less likely to have these disorders.

The missing hair is all at the back of my head so it's not noticable here at all.
Actually I have been pretty lucky re: hair loss I have some thin spots inteh back but overall I have not really experienced the hairloss I was expecting. I am glad I did not invest in a wig

DR Jennifer - "Distilled water" is made by boiling water and then collecting the steam via distillation in another container. However, to help prevent traditional Chinese egg custard tarts from bubbling up too much, it help to boil the water before adding it to the custard mixture. -Apparently, the boiling, boils out the oxygen. Or something like that.

Favorite game show would be $64,000 Question because the questions were all on the one topic you chose for yourself before the competition started. So, I could pick something like Hitchcock movies or Sondheim musicals and try to win with my knowledge of those.
I used to have a fair amount of general knowledge, but as the years have passed, my use for that general knowledge has lessened, and I've forgotten so much so a show like JEOPARDY or MILLIONAIRE wouldn't suit me now.

The mother lode of review deliveries occurred today. I got three TV box sets (two of them due next Tuesday!), two Criterion movies, and a COmedy Central stand-up special.
-
I began my afternoon watching another NCIS episode. This one involved a stalker after Abby and the numerous ways the gang were trying to protect her. Good little twist at the end.
-
I would never want to be on a game show. However, DR Sandra would probably do very well on any show that asks for trivial information. After all, what can you do with a B.A. in English? (An Avenue Q reference.)

I've started a load of laundry.
I went to the mall.
Is there some requirement now that everything in malls must be ugly?

I've been outside going through boxes so they can then be put away in their proper place. When this is all done (tomorrow, I expect) it will be great - I'll even take photographs - should have taken a before and after, actually.

I don't know that I'll get much writing done today, but I'm going to try and do a couple of pages right now. And yes, I have found some very interesting things, including a few rare CDs, which some of you may or may not be interested in. I'll do a little list later.
-
Then I began my review work with Season 2 of Andy Griffith's MATLOCK. I only got 2 1/4 episodes watched because (a) the season premiere was a 96-minute episode, and (b) we had a power outage that interrupted viewing for a bit.
By season 2, Linda Purl had left the show and been replaced with Nancy Stafford. The first was a real murder mystery. The second was a COLUMBO-style episode where we see David Ogden Stiers kill Greg Mullavey and then try to pin it on Mullavey's battered girl friend.
-
The episode I got about 10 minutes into involved a man killed once his wives found out he was a bigamist. The "latest" wife was a friend of Matlock's law clerk, so that's how he gets roped into the case for no money.
-
I did skim through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nothing, but the boys were in tomorrow's previews. (No Brian, unfortunately, at least not in the previews.)

Jennifer you will be able to find gallon sized bottles of distilled water in the cleaning aisle oy your supermarket and tehy should be very cheap.
If you are not able to go out today and just want tot ry the mop one time I am sure one run with regular tap water will not destroy the mop - they are talking about mineral buildup over a period of time.
BTW which mop do you have? I have been very tempted by the "Shark" since I have a lot of hard wood floors and tile floors, but the $69 + price tag keeps me from buying it... if it's the best thing since sliced bread please let me know
It is the Shark. It was $20 off (although i did not pay for it). I'll let you know. I think i will wait to use the distilled water. The dirty floor can just wait a day! :)
-
I have a hand steamer (i guess that is what DR RonP has) and now i have the steam mop. I love the hand steamer because it cleans things well and you don't have to use chemicals.
I love the idea of the steam mop. I hope it works. The idea of those dirty disgusting mops dragging dirt all over the floor was making me ill.
-
Just did four pages, so that's good. I'll do one or two more later tonight.
-
I guess I'll stop surfing now and head back downstairs to continue with MATLOCK. There are quite a few discs in this second season set.

Does no one else harbor secret hopes of being on a TV game show?
(of course I am too lazy to do anything about trying to find out how to actually apply to be a contestant but maybe someday Howie Mandel will show up at my house and ask me to be on the show... could happen!)
I always wanted to be on Password (I just reviewed a magnificent set of the 1962-67 CBS version). I also harbored secret fantasties of being able to use "smidge" as a clue, delivered in that weird, elongated, questioning manner that they used, usually to get them to say the opposite. I am known for saying "smidge" in that manner for no reason whatsoever.
And what would be the "opposite" of "smidge"?
I'm guessing some would say, "That's easy...it's 'alot'!. But, of course, "alot" is not a word. And "lot" wouldn't work
So...."smidge...?"....should elicit.....?..."heaping?"...or "excessive?"
Since "smidge" is a diminutive of "Smidgen" the Word Central student thesaurus lists these antonyms:
abundance, barrel, bucket, bushel, deal, gobs, heaps, loads, mass, mountain, much, peck, pile, plenty, profusion, quantity, raft, scads, stack, wad, wealth; volume; embarrassment, excess, overabundance, overage, overflow, overkill, overmuch, oversupply, superabundance, superfluity, surfeit, surplus; chunk, hunk, lump, slab

Just received some absolutely shocking news: our former rabbi, and former DR Dan in Toronto's cousin, drowned while snorkeling in Mexico. We're really stunned. Does anyone have Dan's email--I can't seem to find it. Aryeh was not all that old, and had had twins by a second marriage rather late in life, so they're only about 6 or 7. I think maybe Jane and Keith knew Aryeh, too, from his stint in Ashland.
-
Tragic news, DR JMK - condolences to former DR Dan in Toronto and the family of Rabbi Aryeh.

I think I found Dan's email on my old AOL address book and I've emailed him. This is quite upsetting. Aryeh was a very gifted composer/guitarist and had frequently asked me to arrange and record with him, we just never got around to it. Sigh.

While I have done plenty of washing by hand I have never had any of the above props to do so. I have had to hang all my laundry, including sheets & towels, on an outside clothesline. I find the clothes hard & uncomfortable. I like modern day softeners for my delicate skin. :)

Hmmm, when we met, let me think....I may have been about 15 pounds lighter than I am now. I still have 40 to go, but I'm swimming in most of my clothes. I've been waiting to take them to be taken in, but I think I need to take a few things now. I don't feel like I've lost that much. Today I put on a jacket that was too tight last summer and it is way too big for me now.

Michigan's loss is Oregon's gain:
ASSOCIATED PRESS (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,477752,00.html)
CONVICTED 'ZOMBIE BANDIT' SOUGHT IN OREGON ROBBERY
MEDFORD, Ore. — A convicted bank robber the FBI nicknamed the "Zombie Bandit" during a string of bank holdups in the Midwest in 1991 is the suspect in a robbery last week in Medford.
Surveillance videos convinced investigators the man who robbed the Liberty Bank on Dec. 30 is 67-year-old Alan David Hurwitz, who served prison time for holdups at 18 banks across Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
"He is not the most likely bank robber, but we have seen people fall off the pedestal in the past and resort to crime," Medford police Lt. Tim Doney said.
The FBI nicknamed him the "Zombie Bandit" because of the vacant look on his face during the Midwest robberies.
…
"He's done a lot of good in his life, but he has been a slave to crack cocaine," Medford police Deputy Chief Tim George said.
At one time Hurwitz was a Detroit teacher, a staff member at Michigan State University, a member of a task force on school violence and a deputy director of the Peace Corps in Kenya, according to a 2005 profile in Detroit's Metro Times newspaper.

Hi folks. I'm sorry I left so suddenly last night. I was just so tired. I am still tired. There is to much drama going on right now.
So to up date you:
They couldn't really work on the house today because it rained. They did do some of the wiring for the light. Thelma said I should ask them for a motion sensor light. I will speak with them tomorrow.
Thelma's husband, Bill, isn't doing to good. Vibes for him would be appreciated. He is very weak.
The dog story continues. As I predicted, the dog got away from them again. The kid and Dad this time showed up at my door thinking I had him. The kid is crying up a storm. As we spoke, he comes the dog right to me. The kid says I can have the dog. I said I don't want your dog, I want YOU to take care of your dog.
I told the father, the dog needs to fixed so he wouldn't roam. He needs food. He needs a vet. He needs shots. He needs heartworm meds. The dad states they do feed the dog, he's thin because he runs away all the time. I said I don't believe that is the case. He offers me the dog. I decline.
Again as I thought, when I tell the kid to go get his leash so he can take the dog home, he tell finely tells me they don't have one. I give them Bears old leash and halter. Maybe that will help them control the dog.
I have a doctors appointment tomorrow which I suspect will confirm that I have diabetes. I don't need this extra stress and I do not want to come home every night to a dog and a crying kid that isn't mine.
I keep wondering how I got caught up in all this.
Also today I get a letter from my house insurance tellng me they are canceling my policy because the roof is in poor repair. I called and left a blistering message and told them they had better get their ass (pardon the language) over here and look at the work that is being done.
Sorry but it just hasn't been a good day. I feel tired and out of sorts.

I did find some interesting CDs, all of which are out of print, several from the Bay Cities days. So, if anyone here needs the cast album to Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up just drop me a line - I found about ten copies, I think. I also found Daniel Licht's excellent score to Children Of The Corn II - a few copies - the latter two are Bay Cities titles. Also, a wonderful Alex North themes album (conducted by North) - great stuff - only two copies, I think. Then a Korngold/Rozsa chamber CD of classical works.

Re: the dog that is so interesting that both the kid and the father wanted to give you the dog. Why don't they keep the dog indoors if it keeps escaping.
Here dogs don't just roam. If people don't have a secure fence in the backyard then the dog is not allowed out alone. The dog next door does spend time outside alone but on a long leash.
I think that there must be something if the dog keeps coming back to you. And if the family can't take care of him ... well it's a tough call.

I had 2 minor accidents while trying to cook tonight.
I seem to always have problems with my grater. I've often in the past lightly touched my fingers with the graters. But today the grater touched my fingernail. Luckily my nails were quite long so it took off a big chunk but i can still see the white of my nail.
Then some hot oil spattered and hit my eyebrow. The oil was only on mediu. I am lucky it did not hit my eye. But it still hurt!
I made something new i'd never made before. It was called Olive Garden Chicken Parmesean and bowties.
The boneless chicken breast was dipped in milk and then in a mixture of bread crumbs/flour/parmesean cheese. Then it was grilled. It was so delicious!

Do you also weigh in at home? I prefer using the same scale, close to the same time, with the same clothes on.
Good luck tomorrow. I'm sure you lost something since your clothes are so large :)
Again, CONGRATULATIONS!
I weigh in at home and occasionally at Curves. So, I have a good idea where I am.

I'm finally cleaning out my closet, getting rid of the clothes (many of them) which are WAY too big for me now. I'm trying to get some of my life in order. Motivation is the hardest part! I have too much stuff. >:(
The good part is that some custom made shirts that I haven't been able to wear for years fit perfectly. Hoorah!

And are probably back in style now too! :)

I'm looking forward to doing that. I've decided that I'm going to keep a much smaller wardrobe than I have now. I like to clean out closets. It feels like such a clean start when I'm done. And I don't have that frustration of going through several things that don't fit before finding something that does.

I have returned from the land of Amahl. And it it a good thing I know my part so well. If I were relying on the tenor king for my cues, I'd be in BIG trouble!!!
So, do you know a child the color of wheat?

Almost time for a new TOP CHEF.
Just watched Rod Taylor and Ed Fury in COLOSSUS AND THE AMAZON QUEEN...
Did you lose a bet to DR MBarnum?
-
I am finally home from the office. Man! it's been busy down there. I like it, but I am very tired.
Tomorrow the plumbers are supposed to be here first thing in the morning to fix the shower. So, I brought home some work and will work here while they do the repairs....or I'll watch them and end up staying up all night getting ready for a hearing and depositions on Friday. Who knows which it will be, lol

Watching Maureen on Law and Order. Maureen will be back on later in the hour.
Larry, is this actually the episode that was near your apartment?
I never did see the church so perhaps not. There were bikers all over my block for the taping, so I guess I was wrong about this one.

The burn on my wrist is looking really ugly. I think it's just the healing process, but if it gets uglier, I may have to go to the doctor,.

OY! Yesterday it was 39 degrees. Right now the wind chill is 7 below zero!

Hello all. I don't have much time for an update, and catching up will have to happen later. The flood waters are coming in our basement, and we've given up trying to stop them. Jed and I are emptying everything out of the basement, and writing off the carpeting as a loss. Our basement is also our TV/family room, so we are hauling recliners and tables and baby swings and bookshelves and other various crap up. I'm only on a break because I need to nurse the baby.
Vibes would be nice, but really, we're not in that bad of shape compared to some of the other towns around here. Some of the smaller Washington towns in the surrounding valleys are underwater right now.
I'm seriously thinking about building an ark.

Then I began my review work with Season 2 of Andy Griffith's MATLOCK. I only got 2 1/4 episodes watched because (a) the season premiere was a 96-minute episode, and (b) we had a power outage that interrupted viewing for a bit.
By season 2, Linda Purl had left the show and been replaced with Nancy Stafford.
I liked the episodes with Julie Sommars.
Yes, she and Andy make fun friendly adversaries. She was in two of the eight episodes I viewed today.

Just read the very sad news that former Mousketeer Cheryl Holdridge died on Monday.

VIBES TO DRS ANN AND JED ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
The clouds cleared away and so did the warm temperatures. Should be down in the 30s tonight.
-
As I mentioned earlier, I did watch 8 episodes of MATLOCK today. All but one were standard mysteries even though the show is more like PERRY MASON where information is withheld from the audience until it's sprung in court. MURDER SHE WROTE always put the clues out there if you were observant enough to spot them which made that show more fun to play along with than MATLOCK. As I mentioned earlier today, one of the episodes was a COLUMBO-style show where we knew all along who was guilty and how he did it.
-
One of the episodes was called "The Network" and it was peppered with cameo appearances by stars from NBC's then-hit shows: Betty White, Alf, Corbin Bernsen, Jason Bateman, Malcolm Jamal-Warner, but I enjoyed more seeing Cameron Mitchell as a real guest star in that episode.
Other guest stars in various episodes today: Dick Butkas, Scott Bakula looking trés gorgeous, Robert Culp, Ralph Bellamy.
-
Then I watched tonight's DAMAGES season premiere. A good start to the season. Has Glenn Close had work done on her face? It looked very tight and unnatural.

Let me guess: is the missing verb died, Mike?

Oh, lordy, I shouldn't be laughing, but I am. ;D

I'm heading down to bed now.
Good night!

I'm quite tired. I'm finishing a movie, and then will attempt to write one more page, no matter how rough. I had a Subway turkey sandwich for lunch, and small things of potato salad and Chinese chicken salad just now. I really did go through an awful lot of boxes and we're throwing a LOT of stuff out.
-
Well I am pooped and the plumbers are supposed to be here first thing in the morning so I'm going to get some sleep. Hopefully, by tomorrow noon I will once again be the proud owner of a shower!
Night all

I don't know what you are talking about DR Elmore.
-
Oh, spoo, I forgot Elmore quoted
-
Hmm... It's been interesting watching the different commercials for "Doubt". One makes it look like a almost-horror/thriller movie. Another one makes it look like a great whodunit. And another one is just a listing of all the nominations and awards they're up for right now. I guess it's good to cover all your bases.
-
I liked tonight's season premiere of "Damages" too, and it will be interesting to see just how many more twists they will introduce as the season unfolds. I lost track of all the ones that were presented or teased at tonight.
*And Glenn Close's Cadillac commercial after the commercial-free presentation provided a good laugh after the program. ;)
**And then when I changed over to Letterman, Rose Byrne was the guest and sporting her Australian accent too!
-
OK... Tomorrow should be an eventful day for me. Well, I hope to make it eventful.
Goodnight.

Wrote two more pages for a total of six today, so I'm happy about that. Finished the motion picture and shall now take a nice hot shower.

Law and order - Maureen - spoiler
Dear friend (and BK co-star in Last Starfighter NYMF readings) Maureen's part was entirely in the first fifteen minutes or so, and had Maureen not mentioned that she had a deposition scene, I might not have known to keep watching for her. So if anyone taped it or DVR'd it, she does appear as the lawyer (wearing blue) in the deposition later on, even though she's one of the victims before the credits.
