Well, you've read the notes, the notes counted the ways, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently counting the ways and also the means.
-
And the word of the day is: AESTIVAL!
-
So, I go to post the notes in my usual page, and AOL can't find the site. I'm immediately nervous, but Safari has no problem finding the site and I post the notes. Then I try to go to this here website via AOL - can't find the site. Safari - no problem. I ask you - what in HELL can be so screwed up with AOL that it can find every other site but this one.

I'm having trouble getting to the second page of your notes when using Flock, Netscape, Firefox and Internet Explorer. :-\

Same here - it seems the Unseemley button link to page two of the notes is broken. Attempts to call up the notes from the archieves also fails.

This is clearly the gods way of making sure bk has another day as bad as yesterday.

That maybe the problem - perhaps we both need to reverse our normal action to buttons.
Or just use a zip.

I listened to the soundtrack to 1900 on the way to work today. And now I can't get Morricone's darned Love Theme out of my brain! :P
-
a little luncheon snack
Would you like fries with that?
-
Page 2 of the notes doesn't work in Opera, either, for what it's worth.
And song of the day is much too easy...
-
Good morning, all! Like BK, I am thrilled yesterday is over and I hope today will be a much better day.
Most of my day is taken up with December concert arrangements for the NYC Gay Men's Chorus, two popular songs from 1937 and 1951 and I need to finish them this week. There's been no word from Laurel Masse, so that job may not be happening but Kip has asked me for medley and I told him I would think about it after this choral work was finished.
Vibes and xylophones to BK and all of us for a better day today![move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%]

Thank you, Singdaw. Since that's the only place I am walking now, I have lots of shots of that saguaro in the sunrise.

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And, yes, it looks like something is wrong in regards to the Notes' archive which is preventing access to page 2 of Today's Notes.
-
Hmm...
So, since I picked yesterday's (first set of) of Initials, who wants to pick today's Topic of the Day?
*Of course, we could do what we did ages ago, and post our posts in the voice of our very own bk. That was fun! -Of course, I'm not exactly sure how'd you go about searching the archive for that since "What is it, fish?" will come up every day. ;)
-
Or one of us could go ahead and call bk now at home...
DR DearReaderLaura - You're in the same time zone as bk, so... How about it? ;)
-
And don't we all? ;D
("No, I'M Fanny Brice!" - dammit, is there nobody out there who remembers Eighty-Eights and the Karen Miller singalongs?)
I semi-remember that, those, her... I actually just came across a business card for Eight-Eights - the silver and red one. Awww...
*Do you remember the guy who would run sound and lights upstairs on a semi-regular basis? For some reason I can't remember his name right now, and we actually used to stay in touch quite regularly until he "transferred" to somewhere in the Caribbean working for some resort.
*And I think we've discussed this before too, Elan, but do you remember Perry Payne (Esleck)?

And the word of the day is: AESTIVAL!
Hot dogs, potato salad, cole slaw, burgers of every sort... the foods at any AESTIVAL celebration are sure to make everyone SALIVATE!

With BK's diet, this will last him at least a month!
Only, the bun is sure to get stale in that much time. :P

Today, my iTunes has ejected, with several efforts. two CDs, so perhaps if I cool the downloading and burning of discs, I will be okay for a while. I'm happy that it worked today because I had to burn a disc for Donna Lynne Champlin and I didn't want to put it off.
I have to go to the post office.
-
Wow, I'm here. I had such tsuris getting here. I was locked out since last night. Jose sent me a new link and I'm finally in. Now I have to send the links to my home computer. I don't know how my bookmarks changed although the ever smart Jose mentioned something about the archives changing and since he supplied the link that got me here today I'll believe him.
Before that I tried 3 computers and 3 browsers and nothing got me past the first page of BKs notes. I still can't get to the second page of the notes with the TOD but I'm here and I've re-bookmarked using the new links so I guess I'll stay!

Actually, the dress was quite lovely. It's the make-up that was off - way too heavy, and the wrong colors for him.

Uh, no. I don't believe he gets up quite this early.

Good morning!
Another cool night and cool morning, so I have fresh air to breathe, and I love it. But my luck can't last much longer.
-
No, I couldn't get to page 2 either. Glad I wasn't the only one having problems, but this will not make a great start to bk's day, I can tell you that!

I should have enough time to finish LBJ this afternoon and start on NIXON.
One of the fabulous things about these documentaries is that not only am I finding out about the men and their families, but it's also an amazing historical compendium as well. American History of the 20th Century in one 35 hour box set!
-
I will watch MAD MEN while I eat lunch, but otherwise must give the rest of the day over to this box set. I'm not sure I'll even be done by Thursday.
-
Olympics on TV tonight.
I'm not interested at all in the NCIS rerun tonight. It is from this season, but it's a ridiculous Abby-centered episode as she puts her job on the line to save an innocent dog. Abby is by far my least favorite character on the show, so any episode that gives Pauley Perrette more than the usual screen time is not one I ever enjoy.
-

If you still have that card and are willing to part with it, please let me know. Eighty-Eights was a home away from home, and I hold Karen & Co. fully responsible for my marriage to The Lovely Wife[tm] and the ensuing results at left...
Are you thinking of Matt Berman? There were a few lighting people working the area, but I believe he was the regular in-house guy.
We did go through this back in the day. I remember Perry more from Rose's Turn than 88s, and last I knew she was selling real estate up in my neck of the woods (the idea that Washington Heights is now unaffordable just blows my mind, but that's another story)

That huge hamburger did make me awfully hungry!

I don't know how many of you have been following the Lynn Johnston's comic, For Better or For Worse, but there's been an interesting kink in the Wedding of Elizabeth and Anthony storyline in the last few days.
Elizabeth had decided to rush in the wedding preparations, because she wanted her grandfather Jim to be able to witness the wedding. Only now, on the day of the wedding (which has been going on for the last few weeks), Grampa Jim has had another heart attack.
Here's a link to today's strip: For Better or For Worse (http://www.fborfw.com/strip_fix/).
Phil has already phoned Liz's mom, Elly, so she too knows what's going on with their dad on this "wonderful" day.
Just a little soap opera, I guess.
So, let's take our own spin on this, as long as we can't find what BK's TOD is:
Have you ever withheld news of something, or has someone withheld news from you, so as to "not spoil" a special occasion or relationship?
-
Tuesday morning greetings! The best thing about all the computer weirdness this morning was the lovely email exchange I had with DR Ben.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO JHVW!!!!!
-
JHVW was going to stop by HHW last night, don't know if he did because I couldn't get on. If he couldn't get on either I imagine he'll stop by today. We had a long talk last night, sounds like everything is going very well for him right now :)
-
...
Have you ever withheld news of something, or has someone withheld news from you, so as to "not spoil" a special occasion or relationship?
Yes, DR SWW, in the summer of 2004 my mother didn't tell me that her brother in Phoenix had died until after we'd been to freshman orientation at the University of Cincinnati with our DS Rob. Her reasoning was that she didn't want to spoil that experience for us. However, I also think she waited until it was too late for me to encourage that we go out there together for the funeral. It was about to begin when she finally told me.
-
Also, DR SWW, I've had the feeling all along that something was going to happen to Grandpa around the time of the FBoFW wedding.

Yeah, me too, DR Cillaliz. Now that we've turned a page, I'm no longer WS - must've been that burger. Boy, did that look good!
-
The only withholding of the truth that I've been through was when my sisterthebitch insisted that I never tell Mom and Dad that I'm gay. She insisted that they would hate me for it, and for a long time I fell for that line.
It later turned out that she was trying to make my being gay a wedge issue between myself and Dad, I firmly believe because she was always bitter that I was born a boy, and therefor priviledged over her as a girl even though she was the older sib. Gender always has been a bugaboo for her - I hate to think what would have happened if her only child hadn't been a girl.
In any case, Dad has no real problems with my being gay, and is great friends with der B. But that wedge caused some real communications problems between us for years. And, given that we Whites usually have long lives (Dad is in his upper eighties, but acts twenty years younger), there's going to be a grudge going on between myself and Sis for quite a long time because of this.
*sigh*

I still can't get the "Unseemly Button" to get me to page 2, but I've had no problems getting to the chat board. I, of course, blame a certain oaf from another site.
The book is mailed, BK, and I have some Christmas chores.
-
Okay i thought i was the only one who could not access page 2 of the notes.
Btw, re: switching the initials for the name game. I think the list should only be kept for the first set of initials. If the initials are reversed later in the day then i think we can keep track of it on our own.

Now, I'm going to tend to some computer stuff and then head downstairs to check the mail and start on lunch.

For those who might still not be able to find it, here's the text from page 2:
Today, I am hoping to have a nicer, better day in which things run smoothly, and everything works the way in which it's supposed to. If not, I shall do violence to both an orange AND a persimmon. Tonight I'm supposed to go see some reading of a new musical in North Hollywood. Otherwise, I'll jog, do some writing, and try to finalize my notes on the Brain contract with Rodgers and Hammerstein, so we can wrap that whole thing up.
Tomorrow, I have no idea what's happening, Thursday I'm seeing Miss Sharon McNight at the Gardenia, and Friday I'm meeting with Mr. Kevin Spirtas.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, for example, jog, go to the bank (if the funds have indeed cleared), do some errands and whatnot, do a little writing and then see a reading of a new musical. Today's topic of discussion: What was the first adult book you read - how old were you, did you read it because you wanted to or was it a school assignment, did you like it, hate it, did it make you want to read more? Let's have loads of lovely postings, shall we, whilst I count the ways that I never want to have another day like yesterday.

TOD:
I won't say what first came to mind when I read the words "adult book..."
I've been a voracious reader for centuries now, so I'm not sure at all what the first "adult" book I ever read was, but I've never gotten tired of good books.

(ye gads, I've been using HTML and its variants for almost 15 years now... time for the rocking chair and shotgun: "Hey, you kids! Get off my lawn!")
-
I am not sure if I have read an adult book yet.
-
I've read for so long that I don't know if I remember my first "adult" book. I remember loving reading and reading above my grade level as far back as 1st or 2nd grade. We had lots and lots of books at home. My father worked as a machinist and he always had a paperback to read at lunch time. He could read a book in two or three days.
Perhaps Idylls of the King was one of the first adult books I read maybe around 5th or 6th grade but I also read Dickens at that point so perhaps it was Dickens. Who can remember that far back! (45 years ago) ;)

Good Morning, once again!
I had to "leave" a little while ago to attend to a voice coaching, but I'm back now. -Well, I never really left since I did the coaching here at my apartment, I just wasn't posting, that's all.
Capisce?
;)

TOD:
The first book I remember reading that could not be found in the children's section of our local library was Agatha Christie's Murder in Three Acts. I don't remember how old I was; probably about 8.
-
As for "adult book", hmmm...
Possible answer #1: "Of Mice and Men" - John Steinbeck - when I was 13.
Possible answer #2: "The Lord Won't Mind" - Gordon Merrick - when I was 13-4(!).
-
I've already run the vacuum in all rooms, except the kitchen, this morning.
Hmm... The possibilities.

AOL still has me locked out of HHW (who did you p**s off there, BK?). I had to go to Opera to open the site.
AOL has a nasty habit of never clearing it's own cache and history. So, it could still be linking to "old" now-malfunctioning link.
*Besides, Opera is a better browser than AOL. ;)

Alas, the rumors/news I heard last week has been officially announced this morning:

Well, I'm off to the Village to meet up with a friend of mine who's in town this week. She's from DR MattH's neck of the woods actually. Since she has a gluten-intolerance, we're going to lunch at Risotteria - home of the totally dee-lish gluten-free breadsticks!

-
My grandmother read PEYTON PLACE, NOT AS A STRANGER and YOUNGBLOOD HAWK to me when I was wee.
I'd guess that the first adult book I read on my own was VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, followed closely by ROSEMARY'S BABY.
-
OH!
DR Elan - Thanks for the broken/repaired link.
And we'll talk about the Eighty-Eights card. -Mine is signed by the gang, so...
OH! And the guy I was thinking of was named Brad. I think.
-
I'm up, I'm up. So, is this problem fixed or do I need to do something about it (I have no idea what, though).
-
bk, I don't think the problem is fixed - the Unseemly button from notes page 1 still doesn't work.
-
I've written to our web host and we'll see how long it takes them to figure out what happened. As I said earlier, I couldn't even get to the page to write the notes via AOL last night - first time that's ever happened. So, I got there via Safari and that seemed to work fine, which is obvious if you do what Elan did and go to the archived version. But the link is not working with any browser, and I find that really odd - just magically doesn't work after four years of no problems, from yesterday to after midnight. I think we'd better have some excellent vibes and xylophones for today.

I'm glad she isn't claiming a gluten allergy, as some do. Allergies and intolerances are very different things, but some intolerant people seem to think that saying "allergy" is the only way to get other people's attention, and get quite huffy if anyone suggests otherwise. (Yes, I've had customers... :P)

Any computer whizzes have any clew why this problem is occurring? I've also written Mr. Bakalor about it.

Look at what I just found:
Dear Diary:
What a day this has been, unending trauma! The war may be over, but Abraham has been so busy that I fear he will overwork himself! At least tonight will provide a little respite. We are going to see a play, a comedy that has the reputation of being quite droll.

Oh, and the results of this year's Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest (http://www.sjsu.edu/faculty/scott.rice/blfc2008.htm) are out. This year's winner:
Theirs was a New York love, a checkered taxi ride burning rubber, and like the city their passion was open 24/7, steam rising from their bodies like slick streets exhaling warm, moist, white breath through manhole covers stamped "Forged by DeLaney Bros., Piscataway, N.J."
-
Any computer whizzes have any clew why this problem is occurring? I've also written Mr. Bakalor about it.
Off-the-cuff, it seems like there's a problem with the domain name registry... the "unseemly button" links using the full domain IP address (208.50.7.254), which currently does not seem to work, although haineshisway.com does.
-
One of my favorites from the winners:
Joanne watched her fellow passengers - a wizened man reading about alchemy; an oversized bearded man-child; a haunted, bespectacled young man with a scar; and a gaggle of private school children who chatted ceaselessly about Latin and flying around the hockey pitch and the two-faced teacher who they thought was a witch - there was a story here, she decided.
-
TOD: PEYTON PLACE, as soon as it came out in paperback, our neighbor Jean read it and gave it to my mother to read. While it was still lying around, I read it. I think I was 12 or so and very curious about anything that provoked whiaspered comments. My mother was not happy.

I also like:
Bill swore the affair had ended, but Louise knew he was lying, after discovering Tupperware containers under the seat of his car, which were not the off-brand containers that she bought to save money, but authentic, burpable, lidded Tupperware; and she knew he would see that woman again, because unlike the flimsy, fake containers that should always be recycled responsibly, real Tupperware must be returned to its rightful owner.

TOD - The Cardinal, at about age 13. The childbirth scene might have been one of the reasons that I didn't become a mom until my mid-30s.

I just made an appointment with my MD forThursday afternoon; I don't know if it's the bug or the battle, butI think I need to be checked out before they check me in.

Anthony says hello to everyone. They open on Thursday and he's happy with how things are going. You can't ask for more than a job where you like what you do, a free place to stay and free high-speed wireless.

Off-the-cuff, it seems like there's a problem with the domain name registry... the "unseemly button" links using the full domain IP address (208.50.7.254), which currently does not seem to work, although haineshisway.com does.
Correct. A few months ago they sent me an e-mail saying they were changing ip addresses on their servers. I called them and asked if there was anything we needed to do and was told no. Apparently that was an incorrect answer. The correct answer was yes. I've e-mailed all this to Bakalor who is nowhere to be found - also left him a message on his cell, so hopefully he'll get that. It seems all pages are programmed correctly except the Unseemly Button which uses an ip address for some reason. I'm hoping that the form I use to write the notes and that I can access via Safari but NOT AOL will still work. Have to check and see if that's an IP or not - I just can't figure out why it wouldn't work via AOL and would with Safari - I've cleared the Safari cache and it still works.
-

BTW, I'll be returning those two CDs to you that Anthony borrowed.
-
It seems the ONLY page that this site tries to use an ip number is the Unseemly Button link to the second page. Every other page is coded without the ip, which is the way it has to be. So, as soon as Bakalor is home, he should be able to fix that easily.
-
Re the form - I went to it via Safari and there was no ip address there - I cut and pasted that into the AOL address bar and got to the form fine. I have now deleted my old favorites link and replaced it with the new, so that's all working now. We just have to fix the Unseemly Button link and all should be well in hainesland.
-
I checked with the bank and the post-dated check did indeed clear today instead of tomorrow, so I've already transfered that into the proper account. The other check was not Fed Exed last night, but was Fed Exed this morning, so I'll have it in the morning.

Until the problem is fixed, is there some reason you have to use the unseemly button? Couldn't you just put all the notes on the first page?

~~~Vibes for DR Elmore!!~~~

Just spoke to Bakalor - he's not sure why that one page has an ip but he says he'll look into it and hopefully fix it later this afternoon.
-
Everything is fixed and the Unseemly Button is Unseemly and working once again. We shouldn't have any more probs.

But, in the meantime, how did that orange and persimmon fare? ;)

They are safe for the moment.

Good Afternoon!
I'm back from lunch with my friend, Lisa. We did indeed dine at Risotteria (http://www.risotteria.com/), and the food was wonderful(!). We almost went with one of the gluten-free pasta specials - Tuesdays are gluten-free pasta days, but then decided to steer ourselves to the restaurants namesake and ordered risotto.
The first one was their shiitake, green beans and corn risotto, and the second one was composed of shrimp, roasted peppers and spinach. Truly delicious food. And their gluten-free breadsticks - which are now quite famous nationally - are still so good that it's hard to believe that they don't contain and wheat flour/gluten.
-
PAGE SIX DANCE!!
-
About halfway through our meal, an "older" couple was seated next to us. It turned out that they were from Australia - from Melbourne, in fact! They are over here in New York on holiday for about five weeks. One of their sons has a house up in the Hudson Valley, so they've been going back and forth between there and city a week at a time.
Of course, I just had to tell them how much I loved Australia - and Melbourne - and the Australian chocolate! :)
-
So very hot and humid now. It's amazing that a few hours ago, it was cool and pleasant. That's the South in the summer.
-
I checked with the bank and the post-dated check did indeed clear today instead of tomorrow, so I've already transfered that into the proper account. The other check was not Fed Exed last night, but was Fed Exed this morning, so I'll have it in the morning.
bk - Post-dating has no effect on when a check clears. Any check will start "processing" as soon as you deposit it - especially since post-dating is not kosher. All that matters to the bank tellers, magnetic number readers and the computer system are the bank's routing number, the account number and the amount. Yes, some people do post-date checks, but, hopefully, they will tell you if you really should wait to deposit the check until the date on the check, if you get my drift.
-
It started out weirdly, but seems to have improved and is improving. Lauren called me and said I should not come to the reading this evening - she said it's REALLY bad.
If only some of my friends were that considerate. ;)
-
While I cooked lunch, I continued with A FEW GOOD MEN on Blu-ray. I had started it some days ago and watched a little more, but the trial part hasn't even begun yet, so there is still much to see. Probably will take me the rest of the week to finish it.
-
I have had tellers refuse to accept checks for deposit that were post-dated. I guess the answer to that is to use the ATM for such transactions. :)
-
Next, I watched Sunday's MAD MEN while I ate lunch. Wonderful episode, really worked up to a highly dramatic conclusion for both Don and his wife and for Peggy.
I will say again that the show is SO much more enjoyable to watch, so much richer in all that period decor and design in high definition.
-
First adult book, if it's considered such, was TREASURE ISLAND. If we're talking about something truly adult, I guess it would be FROM HERE TO ETERNITY which my mother had to sign out for me from the local library because it was in the restricted room which high schoolers weren't allowed to check out from. I guess I was 15 or 16.
-
Next, I finished LBJ which was so amazing to see the rise and fall so quickly. And so agonizing to live through all of those riots and the escalation of the war once again.
Very well done, but I was glad to be done with it.
-
I'm glad she isn't claiming a gluten allergy, as some do. Allergies and intolerances are very different things, but some intolerant people seem to think that saying "allergy" is the only way to get other people's attention, and get quite huffy if anyone suggests otherwise. (Yes, I've had customers... :P)
To be more precise, my friend has Celiac Disease (http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/celiac/) - which is basically a very severe case of gluten intolerance, and is sometimes categorized as an auto-immune disorder.
So, unless she really wants to double over due to gastro-intestinal pains, she really does have to be careful about ingesting any gluten. Thankfully, she's one of the "sane Celiacs" - there are some truly almost-militant ones out there. Her gluten intolerance hasn't made her intolerant to other people - or vice versa. ;)
*And did you know that Ghirardelli White Chocolate Chips contain gluten?!?!?!
**Which is the reason why she couldn't have the "Snowy Chocolate" gelato at Cones after our risotto fest.
-
I got about 25 minutes of NIXON watched, and I was pleased that it's only one disc, about 170 minutes, so I should be able to finish it this evening and possibly move on to Jimmy Carter.

I truly loved the closing minutes of this week's episode. Some of the most emotional scenes so far in this series. -And it's nice to see more of Don's family life this season too (so far).

I've heard very good things about them.
I believe she has, and, actually I've tried a few of their products myself. I forget which show I was doing, but there were a couple of gluten-intolerant people in the cast, so the stage managers always made sure to have gluten-free snacks available during rehearsals. The chocolate chip cookies were OK. The Chocolate-Chocolate Chip cookies were a different story, and not a good one. ;)
-
Sometimes I claim an allergy to something because I want people to quit hounding me to eat something and they won't accept "no thank you" for an answer. For example: when I am trying to lose weight and someone shoves a brownie at me insisting I can have a taste.

TOD
A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs
Since I had already devoured all the Sci-Fi and Mystery stuff in the Children's Section of the Public Library, the librarian bent the rules and introduced me to Burroughs - naturally I read the whole series (I was about 11 at the time). First "Adult" book was probably my Mom's copy of Forever Amber.

When I came in the door, I prepared the dumplings for our dinner of sauerkraut & kielbasa.
When I was in Charlottesville this past Saturday, they served home-made(!) sauerkraut with the brats (wursts). Soooooo good that I ended up having a second helping of just the kraut.

What a strange day.
This is the first time I've been able to get HainesHisWay up on my computer....and to get this far, I had to backdoor things by going through my "History" and clicking on a link from yesterday.
Odd, odd, odd.

I'm back from a very strange Fringe show; I didn't like it much although the music was fun. It was rather sophomoric in a campy Yale Drama School fashion: anti-Catholic, men in drag playing lesbians, child abuse, pedophilia, prostitution, and lots of lines like "a woman has only two things: dreams and a c**t; and only one of them makes money."
I kept wondering why my friends wanted to write music for it.
I hated last year's Fringe show that Lauren and Cason did, and I still think both these pieces made my Favorite Frnge show FOR THE LOVE OF TIFFANY look like MY FAIR LADY.
-
... men in drag playing lesbians, child abuse, pedophilia, prostitution...
Ah, the Times Square of yesteryear :)

Elmore, your friend should have warned you, like BK's did.

TOTD: Sebastian Snow's "My Amazon Adventure" is the first non children's book I remember reading at about 12 years of age. I read any of the novels by Dennis Wheatley in my younger teen years too. It is thanks to those novels that I learned much about mythology and history.
I also read Peyton Place!

Yes, where in tarnation IS Mr. Brockman, Sr.? He should have been back by now.
-
No one should have a problem posting or reading notes now. You may have to clear your cache, and, if like me you saved it as a favorite long ago, you may have to resave it using the proper haineshisway.com for the notes, or haineshisway.com/community for the board. The Unseemly Button now works fine and all should be well. If anyone is experiencing any difficulties, let me know asap.
-
Yes, Dear Friend, thanks to Jose I was able to post this morning.
Even the Reservoir works with help from DR Jose.

I will have to begin watching THE AMAZING RACE since a friend of mine (and object of goddaughter Charlotte's crush) will be a contestant!

I am glad you will be watching THE AMAZING RACE DR Elmore, it is such a fun show!

I have not yet figured out what my first adult book was.

I finished MURDER AT HOLLYWOOD HIGH and guessed the murderer early, which didn't stop my enjoyment in the least.

I thought it was DICK AND JANE LEARN ABOUT GOOD BREEDING.

DR's Michael & Larry watching the same show. It's not just the "button" that is going awry.
-
Hmmmm...I emptied the cache, cleared the history and can read the notes, parts 1 and 2, but when I try to go to discussions, the wheel just spins...
Thankfully, Ben forwarded a link from Jose which enabled me to get here.
TOD: Gone With The Wind. I read it when I was in Jr. High School and lived in Virginia. I especially remember the scene where Rhett carries Scarlett up the stairs---that seemed very "adult" to me at the time!
-
Did you try to go to the notes via the second page? If so, that may be the problem.
-
Everything should be working fine now. Can some of you do a couple of tests.
-
Ah, I thought I'd checked every page, but I hadn't checked the link at the end of the second page of notes, the link here. I've e-mailed Bakalor so he can fix that, but in the meantime all you have to do is use haineshisway.com/community - then bookmark that and you'll never have a problem.
-
I can't access the discussions via the second page of notes.

My usual link is through the discussions - and then back to the Notes. I'm Australian remember.

See the post above yours. I explain this - that's the one thing I hadn't tried (the link here from the second page of notes) and I've alerted Bakalor that he has to fix that one, too, and I'm sure he will by this evening. BUTT - why has no one saved the discussion board as a favorite??? Of course, if you saved it AFTER using the button on the second page of notes (prior to yesterday) you're going to have to resave it as a favorite - so, once again, you can ALWAYS get to the board by typing in
haineshisway.com/community
Then save it as a favorite.
The Unseemly Button and the link at the bottom of page two's notes were the ONLY problems on the site, as they were never supposed to use an ip address in the link - but somehow they did. All the other pages on the site and on the board don't, so that's why they work fine.

I will say again that the show is SO much more enjoyable to watch, so much richer in all that period decor and design in high definition.
I haven't watched any episode after the first episode of this season. I need to ketch up and I, like you, am so glad that it's available in On Demand in hi-def! :D

My first adult book?
That's easy: Mickey Spillaine's I, THE JURY.
When was it published? The very early 1950s?
Whenever it was, that's when I read it. I guess I was around 12 or 13.
There was 1 sentence in that book that I'll never forget:
"She hooked her thumbs into her panties and pulled them down."
Wow! For a 12-year-old back in the early 1950s, that was HOT!

-
My first adult book would have been Psycho in 1960 when I was twelve. I may have read a couple of others in paperback prior to that (I was very partial to any paperback that was a movie tie-in), but Psycho was a real shocker for a twelve-year-old.
-
Make that eighteen GUESTS. I guess everything IS working now.

It has taken me all day to successfully log on to this here site.
TOD:
Other than "Little Me" over and over again since i was about 6, in 7th and 8th grade, I read "Chocolates for Breakfast," "Catcher in the Rye" (for school which Ihad to get special permission for) and "A Gay and Melancholy Sound." In high school, I read everything I wanted.
Oh, and when I was about 12, I read "1984" and "Days of Wine and Roses" because they were on the bookshelf-- so why not?

T.O.D.
When I was growing up, I hated to read anything. Having to do book reports was agony for me. The only exception were books about the Titanic. I read everything I could get my hands on regarding the ship.
The first "Adult" book I ever read was FANNY HILL. OMG! :o
-
I don't remember what was the first adult book I read. I know I started to read "The Hobbit" and the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy when I was in middle school, but I didn't finish all of the books. Are those considered "adult" (and not "adult...nudge, nudge, wink, wink" ;)) books?
-
I am glad you will be watching THE AMAZING RACE DR Elmore, it is such a fun show!
I agree. Now whenever I'm traveling and run into delays I think "What would they do on the Amazing Race to get through this mess quickly?" Believe it or not it has worked more often than not

Had to work today, so I missed the Great HHW Lockout of 2008.
Adult book....hmmmmmmmm.....probably Gone With the Wind. I loved it, and wanted to read all the novels about the Civil War....but then I found From Here to Eternity and I gave up on books written by dames and started looking for books written by GUYS!!!
-
I am just about to watch a Rod LaRocque movie from 1929 on TCM.....or at least as much of it as I can.
I wonder if he will hook his thumbs in his panties?

First Adult Book? Hmm I have no idea. Everyone in my family reads a lot and always has. My parents never cared what I read or what movies I saw. I started reading whatever was around the house by the time I was in 4th or 5th grade. I quit reading "kids" books by 4th grade.

We are back from our vacation in the sunny southern climes of Oregon. It was a nice, laid back week with little to do, unlike some of our other yearly holidays, where we've been more than fully booked. The kids loved riding bikes, swimming, and most especially, the incredible Lava Tubes of Northern California. If you've never been there, they're truly amazing--hundreds of caves formed from volcanic explosions. Lots of fun and few if any bats. ;)

I have been too busy to keep up with posts, so in case this has been mentioned already, apologies, but legendary Brasilian guitarist/composer Dorival Caymmi passed away a couple of days ago at age 94. Dorival was the pater familias of one of the most accomplished musical families in Brasil--he was Carmen Miranda's Music Director for many years, composed a lot of her hits, and helped popularize the Samba. His sons Dori and Danilo and daughter Nana are all incredible talents in their own right. Dori Caymmi is probably the best known to American audiences due to his lovelier than lovely ballad "O Cantador," which was given an American lyric by the Bergmans and morphed into "Like a Lover," one of Brasil '66's most spectacular recordings.

Did anybody understand anything that Jewish kid said?
Kid? Ah, that takes me back a ways...

Well, it's time for me to leave. I'm off to my sister's so that we can discuss what's happening tomorrow for our dad's 70th birthday. :) On Saturday, we're all going to breakfast at a local restaurant (Budd Bay Cafe), but his actual birthday is tomorrow.
Until later!

Arrrgghh! They're not gonna show any gymnastics until way past my bedtime - again

Breaking News:
Our air conditioner is not working.

I know who won. If you want the spoiler it's on the front page at www.msn.com
-
Actually I knew who won last night and the night before too, but that didn't spoil watching it
-
More annoyances - but, you know, we shall persevere.
-
I just do not understand the human race sometimes, but that isn't new and I'm supposing it will never change.

Well, no one can say we didn't get to page nine.

Cilla, had to remove your post - need to do a hyperlink with a link that that's long - it threw us into Todd-AO.

I was trying to fix it and was most surprised when it said I didn't have permission to change, now I get why.
-
I can't get the URL thingy to work...hmmm wonder why
-
That will be cool if more people here will watch THE AMAZING RACE. Hopefully nick and his sis will do well! I think it's been a while since they've had a 20 something brother/sister team. I remember paige and blake (who were one of my favorite teams/ although many disliked them).
-
re: the olympics.
I am enjoying them very much. Especially since canada is doing much better.
I'm going to include spoiler space because my comments concern one of the athletic events that i'm not sure nbc has aired yet (featuring a bunch of Americans).

I had recorded some of the stuff from last night and woke up in the middle of the night and started watching. Very exciting triathaon. jflajfl;jdafljfl;jafldjs;
But this morning's 100m hurdles was quite thrilling. I'd be curious to know if anyone here who watches it would be upste by the result (lolo jones, from the US was the favorite and was winning until she hit the 9th hurdle). But i believe one of the other americans won. but it was quite thrilling to see Canadian Priscilla Lopes Schliep come in 3rd. Sometimes winning any medal can be just as exciting as getting first. I was so happy for her! jlfkjafljdfla;jfljal;jl;j lj

Cillaliz, do you know all about www.tinyurl.com ?

Which takes us to page ten!

If anyone is interested in seeing the codefendant in my murder trial, you can go to www.kmeg.com and go to the trial of Samuel Wright. I tried to post a better link, but I couldn't get it to work
Thanks TD. let me see if this works

Cool it works! You'll have to watch a short seed corn commercial...hey, it's Iowa
-
If you watch it, it looks to me like the prosecutor walks up and taps Nick Perez on the side of the face while he's testifying...bizarre

Some Nostalgia from last century
-
OH OH OH WOMEN'S GYMNASTICS!!!
-
I couldn't get to page 2 of the Notes this morning, either. Late this afternoon I managed to read page 2, but couldn't reach the posts, despite repeated attempts. How did all of you post?
-
I am just about to watch a Rod LaRocque movie from 1929 on TCM.....or at least as much of it as I can.
I wonder if he will hook his thumbs in his panties?
I recorded it for two reasons. I have never seen the film (nor any film that starred Rod La Rocque to my knowledge). And, the cable guide said it was a mystery. There's another Stanwyck mystery coming on tonight at midnight (I think) which I'm also recording.
-
Jeanne,
if you bookmarked or saved this page as a favorite and it's all numbers in the address (an IP address) you need to re-save it as www.haineshisway.com/community that made it work for me
-
I went downstairs and finished the NIXON DVD. Surprisingly, it stopped when he got on that helicopter (others have talked about the careers of the Presidents after they left office, but not the one on Nixon.)
-
Next, I watched the JIMMY CARTER biography. Very interesting and brought back lots of memories (some good and bad) from his term. Of course, the biography went into detail about his years after leaving office.
-
And I went right into the RONALD REAGAN set since it's two discs. However, I'm not sure they're all that long. I got about 25 minutes of the first Reagan disc watched. He's just gotten a job on the radio when I left off.
-
I think I forgot to mention that I did skim through AS THE WORLD TURNS today. Nothing of interest, but the boys were in the previews for tomorrow.
-
Guess I'll write for a bit and then head down to bed.
Good night!

Jeanne, if you go back and read the posts all will be explained to you.
-
Ok, time to do some reading before work tomorrow. It's going to be a long day.
-
I just ran a mile-and-a-half, which makes today a total of five-and-a-half miles. And this was a BRISK run because I am so not in a fine fettle right how - I just had to run and try to unboggle my mind at how people behave sometimes. I sometimes think a world without people is the way to go. At least I think that right now. I gotta tell you.
-
Like JRand57 and MattH, I will also be recording and later watching Rod LaRoque...and Babs!
-
I was most impressed with the creative ways many DRs used to access the posts. Given all my recent ISP problems I assumed it was MY ISP.
-
Dear BK,
I have taken lately to insulting people by calling them "fat-head minnows." I feel better, and they are quite puzzled and don't seem to know that they have been greatly insulted.
-
I think I'll take a nice long shower and wash all this negative crap off me.
-
My friend Lauren will be coming over after her reading to borrow a couple of CDs for her husband to hear - he thinks he wants to buy them, but would like to sample them first. I'll get them back on Thursday when we have breakfast.
-
Good Evening!
Well, a friend of mine ended up having an impromptu movie night... He had some dental work done today - three fillings(!) - and wanted to have some friends over since he didn't feel like heading out somewhere. It turned out to be a nice, small party, and we watched "La Vie en Rose". Tres bon!
-
Lauren just called - her show started really late, so she's not coming tonight - just as well. I took a nice long shower and feel a little better, although my mind is still a little boggled.
-
Are we STILL on page ten?
-
I'm not really in the mood for a movie tonight. Think I'll sit here and eat some worms.
-
Jonathan Horton's high bar routine was most exciting.
-
I had tuna sandwiches for lunch - and that's it. I should probably eat something else but there's nothing in the house that's really appealing to me.
-
Perhaps you should watch something from the Joan Collins box.
-
Or perhaps you can find some good Golden Age of Wrestling clips on You Tube.
-
After reading DR GINNY's post - I want some corn on the cob.
Can we have a picture of the NEW CHAIR?
-
I think I want to buy an external drive to burn CD's/DVD's and use Light Scribe instead of paper labels.
Does any DR have one of these devices - does the drive burn your CD/DVD or do you use your regular drive to burn it and then use the new drive to do the label? If the later, does it burn BOTH DVD's and CD's?
I have read information on the web, but some of it is confusing.
-
I am feeling... dark.
-
The Locked Door was an interesting film - even if the story leans toward the MELODRAMATIC. But Stanwyck and LaRocque are good. And technically, the studios were getting a pretty good handle on what to do with sound.
Rod LaRocque is quite handsome as the rogue who might have raped Stanwyck - and later in the movie has some evil plans for Stanwyck's sister in law (played by MBARNUM fav Betty Bronson).
Everyone's accents are all over the place, and LaRocque has some painted on eyebrows - and a lot of the guys wear some kind of black lipstick - but it's an interesting experiment to see.
-
Watch the Olympics in HD.
-
I did go to You Tube and I found an amazing clip of Tricky Ricky Starr, who I write about extensively in Kritzer Time.

It seems we made page eleven.

Steve will sometimes use Light Scribe when he does the rehearsal CDs for the choruses in Richmond. The drive will burn the CD as well as the label - in that order. However...
He's found it faster and easier - and more colorful - to buy those CDs that you can print directly on - if your printer is capable of doing so.
I can see if I can get more information from him if you like.
-
what a funny clip....from Green-Witch Village....Ricky Starr!
-
I don't think my printer can do that.....
-
The Sadler-Orson Welles Ballet! LOL
-
DR JRand - Steve also found it much easier to find the printable CDs than the LightScribe compatible ones.
-
Ricky is wearing white ballet slippers tonight, and Von Hess is wearing a snarl.
-
Ricky was taught his moves by Toots, the famous burlesque dancer, who was best man for Dame May Whitty, Mae Busch, and Abner Doubleday.
-
How do you run a CD through your printer? I am intrigued.
-
SPOILER
Ricky Starr won the wrestling match against Karl Von Hess
-

There are CD-only printers out there, however, some printers also have a special cartridge to handle CDs. If you search for "CD printers" on Amazon or a similar site, you should find some "results".

Doing so even as we speak. Interesting technology. Thanks! Didn't even know such a thing was possible! :o
-
I WAS in the mood for a movie tonight, so I watched the Merchant/Ivory film of MAURICE.
-
I've been awake since midnight. Acid reflux. So I got an hour and a half's worth of sleep before then and I've been spending my non-sleeping time searching through the HHW archies for info on the break-ins of March 12, 2006 and July 2, 2007, since tomorrow (well, it's now today here) is my grand jiry appearance.
G'night. Again!

~~~~~PEACEFUL SLEEP VIBES TO DR ELMORE~~~~~

And speaking of sleep....
Goodnight.

I did watch a motion picture. Well, an hour of one anyway. I've seen it before, so I'll finish it tomorrow.
