Well, you've read the notes, the notes had showmanship, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they want some showmanship before they come home, so let's give it to them.
-
And the word of the day is: INELUCTABLE!
-
In-e-luct-able....that's what you are.....
Ineluctable, though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
Ineluctable in every way
And forever more, thats how youll stay
Thats why, darling, its incredible
That someone so tax-deductible
Thinks that I am ineluctable, too
-
Welcome six GUESTS.
-
And six pennies for your thoughts....

Shropshire Sheep.
Say it five times very fast.
ShropshireSheep! ShropshireSheep! ShropshireSheep! ShropshireSheep! ShropshireSheep!
Read the notes.
They explain why I long ago gave up on going to movie theaters, too.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'm heading to Lancaster, PA, for the day!
-
I'll be playing auditions for a theatre company in Lancaster. I've worked for them before whenever they've come into The City, and they're in the process of having their "on campus" auditions, and had asked if I would be interested in coming out to Lancaster for the day to play for them. Sure. Why not? So, a-Lancaster-ing I shall go. -And then a Philly-ing I shall go too later on.
-
In all honesty Sherlock Holmes bores the p outta me. I have never sat through a single episode of any Holmes, done by anyone from Basil Rathbone through Jeremy Brett or anyone in between. Sorry.
-
Well, I still need to finish getting ready for my day - as well make some breakfast before I head down to Penn Station. So...
Laters...
-
Oh! I'm glad I scrolled back after hitting "Post"...
In all honesty Sherlock Holmes bores the p outta me. I have never sat thorugh a single episode of any Holmes, done by anyone from Basil Rathbone through Jeremy Brett or anyone in between. Sorry.

Good point, DR JoseSPiano, last night. Except...
[ducking]
I don't currently own any Beatles albums on LP, cassette, 8-track, or CD...

Here is the list of my favorite Holmes films. Not Necessarily the best ever made
FAV
Murder By Decree Christopher Plummer as Holmes
The Hounds of the Baskerville Peter Cushing as Holmes
The 7% Solution Nicole Williamson as Holmes
HATE
Now I have not seen DR Pogue version of the story (with Ian Richardson) but these are two of the worst films I've seen
The Hounds of the Baskerville TV version with William Shatner in some role. Bernard Fox did make a good Watson
The Hounds of the Bakerville Peter Cook as Holmes. Although I later read that the film was re-edited for the NA release. With scenes dropped and others rearrange. The film made no sense and wasn't funny
Young Sherlock Holmes Too Indiana Jones like and situations for a Young Holmes let alone an old Holmes made the story unbelievable.
OFFSHOOT
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter a comedy with Gene Wilder
The Holmes I would like to see:
Peter O'Toole
Christopher Lee
-
The Hounds of the Baskervilles seems to be the story that has been retold the most times. There is over 20 and the majority of them are in languages other than English.
English language versions
1921 (silent)
1932
1937 (as Silver Blaze)
1939
1959

Good Morning, once again!
Well, I made it down to Penn Station about ten minutes before my train was scheduled to leave. I would have liked to have gotten there a little earlier, but it just took me a little while longer to get ready this morning than I thought it would. -I think this was the first time since getting back from the Phillipines that I had to be up before 8:00am. But I made it.
-
And right now, I'm somewhere in New Jersey. Thankfully, the train is not all crowded this morning. However, there's no Quiet Car nor a Cafe Car on this train. At least I packed some granola bars in my bag. -Oh, I never did get a chance to make breakfast before I left the apartment this morning.
-
bk - Was this a special screening of "Harry Potter" that you went to? Or did you just want to see it at Grauman's?
*And it was probably a good thing that the theater wasn't crowded. Less people to annoy you. ;)
-
DR DAW - No need to duck. Maybe hang your head in shame, but not duck. ::)
-
As the author of BASIL RATHBONE: His Life and His Films, I can attest that there is only one real Sherlock Holmes, and that was Basil.
The best of those 14 pictures he did: THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES and THE SCARLET CLAW.
-
BK,
I totally agree with you about the sorry state of movie theaters. I very seldom go to a theater any more. Haven't been to one yet this year. [One thing you didn't mention is that admission prices are outrageous...even for seniors like us.]
I don't mind waiting 2-3 months for any film I want to see to come out on DVD. That way, I can watch it when I want on my 52" flat screen w/surround sound. No distractions.
-
My favorite Sherlock Holmes adventure story and screen is also The Hound of the Baskervilles, and I like almost all the film versions.
I purchased the one written by DR CP, and it is most excellent.
-
Doing some errands today, but I shall return, hopefully I will have my ping pong ball by then.
-
Good travels to DR Jose
-
Continuing recovery vibes to DR Elmore

And the word of the day is: INELUCTABLE!

As a writer of Sherlock Holmes films (two very good ones with Ian Richardson and one very good script that became an awful movie with Edward Woodward) and one Sherlock Holmes play, I have read the entire Holmes Canon (as well as a great bunch of other Conan Doyle, who wrote many fine things besides Sherlock...I'm fond of the Brigadier Gerard stories), my favourite stories would be the two I adpated, SIGN OF FOUR and HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES. I also enjoy the VALLEY OF FEAR, even though the second part of the novel doesn't deal with Holmes at all. But the first half has great detection in it. THE SECOND STAIN, THE COOPER BEECHES, THOR BRIDGE, THE DEVIL'S FOOT, THE CREEPING MAN, THE MAN WITH THE TWISTED LIP...all have their charms.
As far as the films go, Basil was wonderful...his best being THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES which was done in the proper period. Owning and having read Mr. Druxman's wonderful book and having lived very near Mr. Rathbone's house on Los Feliz Boulevard, I must reluctantly say I felt Mr. Brett was the quintessential Holmes...before he got sick and the series trailed off at the end. But he was not afraid to make Holmes thoroughly dislikeable and disagreeable at times...which he was. It was a very daring and dangerous protrayal.
But my favourite movie would have to be my own HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES...solely because the filming of it was one of the happiest most exciting periods of my life. And it is still the most faithful of all the films made from my scripts...and the only one I return to again and again to watch. Ian Richardson is a more-user friendly Holmes than Brett and seems to capture the Holmes of the later stories, where Holmes was more humourous.
Having also acted in THE CRUCIFER OF BLOOD onstage with Charlton Heston as Holmes and Jeremy Brett as Watson, I can tell you Brett was just as wonderful a Watson as he was a Holmes. He said to me at the time, "In England, I get all these Weight of the Empire roles, so it's nice to come over here and play Winnie-the-Pooh...which is exactly how I'm playing Watson. " At the time, he also confided very specific ideas about how Holmes should be played...ideas that he later incorporated into his own portrayal.
I'm also very fond of my Holmes play, THE EBONY APE.

It boggles the mind!

Good Morning. I need to go take Sugar for a walk before it hits 90 outside. Be back in a bit.

You'd better hurry, Kerry. It's already 89.

Good morning, all! Today I once again successfully bathed myself, in spite of the pain amnd aggravation, and I am ready to face a day of Life Begins at 8:40 edits. I slept well last night; I was up around 4 this morning to take another dose of vicodin and muscle relaxant. Around 9:10 am my leg start3d throbbing and I decided to get up and begin the day.
Curiously, there was a huge puddle of water under my bathroom sink this morning. I'm wondering if I have a leaking toilet, although I see no signs of it, just these sudden pools of water. I cannot blame the ghosts for this and I'm puzzled.
TOD:
I own two of DR Charles Pogue's Sherlock Holmes movies, THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES and SIGN OF THE FOUR, as well as several other versions of the Holmes mysteries.
Two of my favorite Holmes films are the two Jack the Ripper storylines, A STUDY IN TERROR, with the late great Robert Morley as Holmes' brother, and A STUDY IN TERROR, based on the royal conspiracy plot pushed by Stephen Knight in his JACK THE RIPPER: THE FINAL SOLUTION. This theory was later debunked until Patricia Cornwell suddenly announced she had solved the killings and plagiarized Knight's theories.

Good to see you here, DR elmore3003! :)

Went to see the movie THE HURT LOCKER yesterday, We thought it to be a Great Great Movie, I urge you to see it and let us know what you thought.
-
TOD:
I've pretty much always enjoyed the Basil Rathbone series of films. Even the hokey ones that had Holmes dealing with Nazi spies during WWII were still fun.
I also like THE SEVEN AND A HALF PERCENT SOLUTION, THE PRIVATE LIFE OF SHERLOCK HOLMES and THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS. I was rather disappointed by Caleb Carr's recent take on Sherlock Holmes, though...
-
Topic of the Day: I think I've only seen "The Seven Percent Solution," "They Might Be Giants" and "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother." I enjoyed all three of them. :)

Last night, it was 94° up in my bedroom at about 11:00 pm! :P When I finally went to bed (at about 1:30 am ::)), it was about 92°. Not much cooler. So, I finally got some blankets and slept downstairs on my sleeper-sofa that my parents bought me last year. It was about 87° down there...even cooler, but still warm.
Anyway, it was one of the worst nights of sleep I've had in a long time! The sleeper-sofa looks nice, but it was just SO uncomfortable. :-\ And I have two ticking clocks in my living room, which are very loud when there is absolutely no other noise. I don't think I got more than a couple of hours of sleep all night. I'd rather deal with the heat and sleep upstairs from now on.
-
Monday morning greetings! The grass-cutting guys are here and we're expecting a call from the plumber about repairing our bathroom sink. Ah, home-ownership.
-
Am I misremembering, or was there a mash-up film or novel that had Sherlock Holmes solving THE MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE?
-
Some TV station showed the Basil Rathbone series when I was about 12 or so, and I loved listening to the banter. The mysteries were always secondary to the characters. At any rate, I loved them when I was about that age. They got replaced as a favorite when the same TV station ran the Andy Hardy series.
-
I had to read "Hound of the Baskervilles" once aloud (probably Recording for the Blind), and it was fun to read aloud!
-
George, did they ever install the skylight?

I'm assuming your skylight still has not been installed?

Great minds think alike. Or maybe we just know what the heat feels like! HOT minds think alike!

You are both correct...the new operable skylight has NOT yet been installed. >:(

I think you need an air conditioner in your bedroom, DR George!
-
They were supposed to install it when my roof was re-roofed, but it wasn't. Then, it was supposed to be installed when the next building was re-roofed (so the installers only have to make one trip). That was supposed to be last week, but the next building wasn't re-roofed. I don't know why. Now, I have no idea when the next roof will be done, meaning, I have no idea (still) when my new operable skylight will be installed. And this week, it's going to be the hottest that it's been in a LONG time.
:P I say.

I think by making it a public vote that they guaranteed that the winner would win. Apparently the public viewed the runner up as a bitch. So even if her collection had been amazing, i suspect she would not have won. I was not happy that the judges picked the runner up as their winner. I also did not care for her final collection at all. I can't believe that the winner got 56% of the vote though. That is crazy. I wonder if people just liked her better, or found her final collection more accessible. To me i was pretty sure she would win. I never really cared for her that much during the season. But i really liked her final collection and would wear a lot of those pieces. I wonder if the judges were mad she won. They thought her collection was not cohesive. It was clear though that james paul was the most talented innovative designer. So i had hoped the judges would have given him their prize. But i guess not! :(

Dan the man, I too was disappointed in Caleb Carr's Holmes pastiche.
Mr. Druxman, I own a large six foot by seven poster of the SCARLET CLAW that hangs in the foyer of my home. Harlan Ellison insists that he will steal one day.
-
My bedroom is actually a loft area above the "official" master bedroom (which I'm actually using as my TV/computer room) of my three-story townhouse condo. The closest place that I could put an air conditioner is on the second floor (in my TV/computer room) but that won't help my bedroom, upstairs. There is no openable window up in the loft, just the (now) un-openable skylight that I want changed to a new operable skylight, so that I can let out the hot air.

Well, since I'm up this darned early, I might as well go to work this early.

And since we're so darned close...

Has anyone seen the absolutely peculiar Holmes films with Matt Frewer? I told Betsy he's either a genius or a madman, his interpretation is so peculiar.
Well, ladies and germs, I am officially the parent of a teenager. Pray for Rosemary's father. Or something like that. :)

For those who might be interested: the concept of Twitter, explained very simply (http://hildygottlieb.com/2009/03/09/explaining-twitter-to-grandma-rose/)
That was a good explanation. But I still have a question. To read people's tweets, does that come to you via email or on your phone? Or do you log into Twitter and then read all the various and sundried tweets?
-
Good morning, everyone.
Stay-cool vibes to all those suffering from the hot weather.

Plan on a few interesting years at your house, JMK.

When I was a kid I the Universal Basil Rathbone SHERLOCK HOLMES films aired regularly. Till date, those are the only versions I have seen, and I enjoyed them all very much. My favorite, as I recall, was THE PEARL OF DEATH.
I never did see HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES, but there is a Bollywood movie "based" on that story. BEES SAAL BAAD is the title, and it is one of my all time favorite films. Even though it was made in 1962 it has the look and feeling of an old 1930s or 40s horror film.

He actually seems to have attained a fair degree of emotional equilibrium recently after a very rocky last year. So we're hoping the first massive hormone influx is over and we have a moment or two of relative peace. I can dream, can't I?
Gabe did say this morning he wants to be a "good teen," that he can't stand the reputation that teens in general have and he doesn't want to be "like those teens." We shall see. As long as he inherited Betsy's gene pool, we'll be fine. If he follows in his father's footsteps, you'll find me in a fetal position under my piano. :)
-
Bruce, I too would like to see movie theatres restored to their former glory, but there are economic factors as well. People just aren't going to the movies much anymore, which has hurt revenue. There's a theatre in Virginia--Jose will know it--an arthouse place, that really tried to do things right, but they are struggling. From what they used to say in their email newsletter, the distributors often make some pretty poor decisions as to which theatres can show which films. The distributors, of course, are trying to maximize their profits, without much regard to others. Personally, I am really put off by the high prices, which IMO just means that even fewer people attend. And then there's the issue of the quality of the films. It's a mess!
I'm sure that others here have more insight into this than I do. Other viewpoints?
-
We hardly ever go to movies, except if there's a "big" kids' film out. Betsy will probably take the boys to Harry Potter this week, but it's probably just as much to be in a nice air conditioned environment, LOL, than it is to see the film. I have the same price issue you do, Jeanne--why pay $30-40 to take my family (not including food), when a few months (or even weeks) later, I can buy the DVD or BD for less and enjoy the film in the comfort of my own home without the rude people sitting around me.
-
Must take care of other things.
TTFN.

First of all, Happy Birthday to Gabe!
DR JMK, my husband was teaching pre-teens and early teens (gifted math & science) at the time our son became a teenager. Whenever our son did something that made me roll my eyes, Richard always said, "Girls are worse." Just keep that in mind and have fun!
-
My son was abducted by aliens when he started high school at 14 and switched with an alien. It looked like my son, but it sure didn't act like my sweet boy. It was quite rocky for several years. For some reason, the aliens switched them again after he had lived on his own for a couple of years. I don't know why they wanted that alien kid back.
-
The showing at the Chinese was a regular screening - I just wanted to go to the Chinese again. The Chinese is a showplace and one of the great movie theaters. It's "Hollywood." So, like the El Capitan, it should be used as a reminder of how great the moviegoing experience should be. But instead the crass cretins at Mann Theaters take the easy way and show the ads and cover up the original projection booths and show dim digital projection and shame on them. The projection at the El Capitan is superb, whether it's digital or film, because it's bright and sharp. And there are curtains, and you don't see the screen when you enter, and it's nice. They give you a show, which they should for all the bloody money they charge now. It was twelve bucks to see the Harry Potter movie at a matinee.
-
I was up at five-twenty, went back to sleep, slept until the noise started at seven-thirty, but refused to get out of bed until fifteen minutes ago.
-
For me, DR Jeanne: yes, the physical conditions at the cinema are definitely in decline. And that is sad. But what really keeps me from viewing movies in public is the more rapidly deteriorating behavior of my fellow public. To me, it's just not worth it any more.

My sister just sent this one:
What American accent do you have? (http://www.gotoquiz.com/what_american_accent_do_you_have)
I tried it and it correctly pinpointed me as Philadelphia (or thereabouts), but I have suspicions about how it really works. Let me know what you people get (especially any recently transplanted DRs.)
-
To read people's tweets, does that come to you via email or on your phone? Or do you log into Twitter and then read all the various and sundried tweets?
DR MBarnum - there are various methods to read the Tweets [posts]. You can do it on your computer, either through the Twitter website or through various "clients," just as you view your email through a client. And/or you can choose to receive the Tweets on your phone - or just the Tweets of certain people whom you select. Just as you can also send Tweets from your phone. I have it set up that only Direct Messages - private messages sent just to me - come through my email.

DR DtM: fun! It said my accent was from the West. And since I lived in Los Angeles from roughly the age of 3 to 8, I guess that makes sense.
-
I'm suspicious of the results. I've been in New York for 29 years and even before that I was never asked if I was from Minnesota (or Wisconsin which they say in the test results). I've heard Minnesota speak my entire life and Minnesotans would answer those questions much differently than I did. I worked very hard to neutralize any accent I might have had and I don't think, based on my answers, that I sound Midwestern (or Inland North) at all. This is not to disparage people from the Midwest who have a noticeable accent, I just don't feel I do and I don't think the test is terribly accurate.
Also, I haven't called carbonated drinks "pop" since I was about 11 years old. If I drink something like that it's "soda". Ask my 4 sisters and 2 brothers. When I visit them and they offer me "pop" I say "No thanks, do you have any soda?" :D
I'm such a good older brother.

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.
I was born in Alabama, but lived in Georgia, California, Texas, Germany, Colorado and Washington by the time I was 10. I've lived here ever since. :)

They have me as The Inland North, which I actually find preferable to Utah. In Utah, they pray to The Lard while riding their harses.

I have seen four movies in a theater in the last sixteen years. I don't enjoy the rudeness of the other patrons (oldsters are just as rude as youngsters), I don't enjoy the prices, and when the lights go out it is one of the times that my agoraphobia takes hold. It also takes place at live theater productions, but not as severely as in movie theaters.
I am glad I checked my spelling, I first wrote agraphobia (fear of sexual abuse), which would probably be a different type of movie theater.
-
Maybe hang your head in shame
Consider me hung.
Really!
Are you commenting or verifying, DR TCB?
Nope, just commenting - I don't date married men anymore (I don't date them any less). I thought it might be rude to have placed a question mark after the "Really."
-
I still go to movies at movie theatres, but I refuse to go on a Friday or Saturday night when the real morons are out there. I generally keep my movie-going to the weekdays.
-
I am not at work today. I got a headache yesterday afternoon that wouldn't go away. I am sure the heat last night did not help.
-
Are you feeling better now, TCB?
-
Topkapi has landed!! :)
Yes...mine landed Saturday.
-
I enjoy going to the movies every now and then and I rarely have come across rude patrons, thankfully. I usually will go to a matinee, however, and as DanTheMan mentioned, maybe certain times or days are worse then others.
The prices are steep, I admit, so it has to be a particularly special film for me to go out to see it. I really do enjoy seeing a comedy in a theater full of people.
-
Topkapi has landed!! :)
Mine arrived today, too! I think being able to have it sent to my work gets it here to Tumwater a day or two sooner. :D
-
I did the "what American accent do you have?" just for fun.
It says: the west (i.e., nobody thinks you really have an accent at all).
-
I don't go to the movie theatres that often anymore. Although the theatres around here that i do go to are very nice (with the raised stadium seating).
Here the movies are $5 on tuesdays. So that is mostly the day i would go. Although i had a bunch of free movie passes a few months ago. So i went a few times then.
-
Are you feeling better now, TCB?
About the same, Laura, thanks for asking.
-
TCB, I use Aleve with a full glass of water. (It doesn't seem to work as well without the water.)

***FEEL BETTER VIBES***

So long as it doesn't accidentally get catalogued!!

Speaking of SHOWMANSHIP, there's a great book on theatres and their designs incorporating marquees, box offices and terrazzo mosaics called, "The Show Starts on the Sidewalk." Neat pics!

I have always loved the Basil Rathbone SHERLOCK HOLMES films, maybe because I grew up watching them. My favorites are probably THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES, THE VOICE OF TERROR, and THE SCARLET CLAW. When I was younger, it never occurred to me that the Nazis that Rathbone fought in the VOICE OF TERROR were from a different era. I just loved the characters and the mysteries.
I also appeared in the play THE CRUCIFER OF BLOOD, but neither Mr. Heston, nor Mr. Pogue was in my production. But as I have stated before, my college roommate was in the original Broadway cast of the show. It really stunned me when I opened my script for the first time and found Martin's name listed in the cast.

It's from "The Best is Yet to Come," a Cy Coleman review that recently played at The Rubicon in Ventura, CA.
Cy is in the middle, of course. Next to Jason is Sally Mayes. Along the bottom are Billy Stritch and Lilias White. Upper left hand corner is Julia Murney and David Burnham.

You'd better hurry, Kerry. It's already 89.
Interestingly enough it was 94 by the time we got back 30 minutes later, and it's now 104 and still climbing (probably another 10 degrees or so).

Were they traveling back home today?

Then we should have some good news. My sister is doing very well, and Vixmom should be taking the day off after having her chemo port removed last Friday, if I remember correctly.

Or I could post more videos of kittens playing.

No, it's not that it is such a litany of woe; I just want everyone to feel better.

Back from a two-mile jog, shipping a few packages, and lunch. I'm through working for the day, oh, yes, I'm through working for the day. I may drive over to my designer's to deliver the last piece for our new release, to be announced in about a week and a half.

I have shared this little tidbit before, but I learned to read and write via phonics, which led to an unintentionally hilarious misstep when I was in First Grade. We had a little newspaper where we all wrote little articles, and I devoted one article to my father's exploits as a soldier. Except I spelled "war" as "whore" (what would the pronunication site make of that I wonder?). So my article stated my father had been in the whore and my mother hoped he was never in another whore again.

In all honesty Sherlock Holmes bores the p outta me. I have never sat through a single episode of any Holmes, done by anyone from Basil Rathbone through Jeremy Brett or anyone in between. Sorry.
Have you seen the previews for the upcoming Robert Downy Jr. movie? Purist will be horrified, and I know I should be, but it looks like fun to me. Unlike Bruce I hope it is good. I'll pretend it is Holmes in a parallel universe & not the one our sweet boy is named for. ;)
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'm heading to Lancaster, PA, for the day!
OH...QUAKER FOR THE DAY
More like Amish for the Day. Well, I'm hoping to have a slice of Shoo-Fly Pie while I'm t/here.
I haven't had shoo fly pie since we moved from Ivyland, PA. Even better were the sweet potato pies & bread. I used to know the best Amish people to buy from at Rice's, the gigantic upscale flea market....http://www.rices.com

Back from designer's house and he now has the two covers for our next two-fer release.
-
I'm replicating the Two's Company DVD right now, so anyone who is interested in obtaining a copy of the show should drop me an e-mail asap. The cost will be between ten and twelve dollars, although I'd like to keep it at ten.
-
Good Morning. I need to go take Sugar for a walk before it hits 90 outside. Be back in a bit.
I left too late this morning & ended up keeping Sherlock in the shade, walking back & forth along the creek. He was very happy, I didn't get enough exercise.
-
Went to see the movie THE HURT LOCKER yesterday, We thought it to be a Great Great Movie, I urge you to see it and let us know what you thought.
Thanks for the tip. I checked & we have it on our NetFlix queue for whenever it is released.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DS GABE!

DR Sam your friend’s new apartment would probably make me dizzy.
-
Good Afternoon! Good Evening!
-Pick one.
-
I'm on my way back to NYC. The auditions went well, and the theatre complex was/is HUGE! We ended up having a pretty full day, so there was no time to make a break for some Shoo-Fly Pie. However, I did pick up some peanut butter cookies and chocolate-covered marshmallows. Hopefully, there will be time for some pie next Monday.
-
Well, it's early, but it's time for me to leave. I have an early birthday party to go to, then to my parents'.
Until later!
-
Oh...
I ended up having to scrap my Philly stopover. My friend who I was going to stay with was told by his doctor this morning that he might have come down with swine flu, so... Next week. Maybe.
-
Jose, good thing he found out BEFORE you stopped by. I hope your friend has a quick recovery.
-
Jose, good thing he found out BEFORE you stopped by. I hope your friend has a quick recovery.
He's actually over the worst of it, apparently, since the worst of it hit yesterday. He thought it was "something he ate", but woke up today quite fatigued. He was already scheduled for a routine check-up this morning - which is also why he didn't bother going in over the weekend. So... He just needs a good night's rest tonight. He's a bit of a health and fitness nut, so the effects and duration of the flu were on the "short" side.
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
TO DS GABE!!!!!!!!!!

I just figured out how to upload a video from my computer to facebook (sadly, YouTube is blocked on my computer). I feel like such a geek.

Why do people who have good movie ideas ruin them with crappy endings. Tonight I watching KNOWING with nicolas cage. Although he wasn't really that great in it, i thought the movie was quite good till the last 20 minutes. Whoever came up with the ending IT WAS NOT A GOOD ONE!

I wonder if DR td is contending with this (http://usedbooksblog.com/blog/borders-non-blogging-contract/)??
Well. . .I've taken to not calling Borders by name anytime I post on the net about work happenings. . .
When I was hired, we were told we weren't allowed to post anything online about Borders' policies, but about six weeks ago we did have to sign a document stating the same thing.
Personally, I think it's a free speech violation to not speak about how one's work day was. I would never go into detail about company policy, but I would speak out about stupid customers - like the ones who ask if all the coffee beverages have coffee in them, but as I said on another board (The Scarlet Street Forums), it's very interesting to watch a company do everything in its power to commit commercial suicide and to stand on the sidelines watching it crash and burn.
-
DR DAW - with that 98" screen, where are you hiding the camera? ;)
-
Imagine if B*****s employees were encouraged to write about the great books just arriving. The hidden gems, the stuff they’ve just read. Tweets about upcoming readings. There are so many ways you could make this work.
By the same token, we ARE required to recommend items which have been selected by the higher echelon, whether or not we think it's a valuable item - that's where the "acting" comes in. It is always useful to be knowledgeable regarding your product be it in food service or in retail, but, it takes some real skills to recommend a novel which most people have compared reading to watching paint dry. . .
-
That is not the Borders I used to shop at. :(

Good night, sleep tight, DR TCB.
Hope you feel infinitely better in the morning!

Posts are read, and since I did not take notes, guess I will read again.

Sleep well DR TCB & wake with a clear head.

Took notes.
Dear Jose, yes yes less people to annoy bk.

Dear DAW, "consider me hung" I have a dirty mind.
I looked through the Farmers Market Cookbook, it's quite beautiful. And with some of the new vendors too. I almost bought it that day, and will next time for memories sake.
-
Did your broken bones ever heal all the way?
Yes, I think everything has healed fine. The last months of regular walks with Sugar have really helped a lot, too. I'm thinking good thoughts and making sure I stay moving while I can move.
Thanks, Jane!
-
Dear JMK, a teenager in your mist, oh what fun ahead. I think Ginny is right that girls are worse.
I always told my husband that if we had a boy who was like his father, I would move out. I knew my husband in his early 20's and he was wild beyond control. Many stories to be told.
-
I went to Target to buy new rabbit ears for my TV. I hope they work.
So I also picked up "Thriller". I've been happy since the first few notes. It is a great album. Oops cd now (it was an album the first time I heard it).

Dear Kerry, I like your t-shirt.

Off to eat some left overs in the refrig, and to see what bills to pay.

Hi Laura
Hi Kerry
It was supposed to be 105 in parts of LA today.
-
Hi Sam. We'd call that a cool day.

Hi Cillaliz

Hi Sam, it's 76 degrees here right now. Our highs this week are in the 80s. I'm loving this summer

This is mine
"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

We'd call that a cool day.
But it's a dry heat.

It's June all over again.

Hi!
Just wanted to pop in for a second to explain where I've been today. I've been dealing with some health issues, and I'm still not "fixed," so who know what tomorrow may bring.
I don't say this to receive vibes or crave sympathy but merely to explain where I've been today and why I might not be around much tomorrow.
It has been a very long day.
-
Oh. I thought maybe you had a hot date.
No, that would be Wah Hoo! island
-

Yes, I think everything has healed fine. The last months of regular walks with Sugar have really helped a lot, too. I'm thinking good thoughts and making sure I stay moving while I can move.

That is not the Borders I used to shop at. :(
Nor I. The first Border's I remember was a cozy second-hand shop on State St. in Ann Arbor, MI.
-
I had quite the Kritzerland bill to pay today - the humungous redesign and restructuring of the website bill - which was double what I thought it was going to be. A necessity for sure, but boy does it make things rough for a while. I have to have a couple of complete immediate sellout titles to make up for it. Unfortunately, The Apartment, surprisingly, hasn't quite sold out yet.

We visited ICU during the last evening visiting period. Only John's wife and youngest daughter and her boyfriend were there and only Richard went in to see John. They're having visitors put on gowns and gloves while they rule out his having something infectious, so I stayed in the waiting room with the family. No change in John's condition, except that his blood pressure has stabilized - which was the desired effect of putting him back on the vent.
-
Good Evening!
I'm ba-ack. In the NYC, that is.
-
DR DAW - Where did you hear about that new cookbook?
;) ::) ;)
-
Thanks for the update, Ginny. Hopefully this is the first baby step for him back to health.
-
Thanks, DR Laura.
-
DR Jose - I'm very glad you scrubbed your visit in Philadelphia!
-
Richard just poured me a glass of wine, so I'm going to sign off for the night.

They were supposed to install it when my roof was re-roofed, but it wasn't. Then, it was supposed to be installed when the next building was re-roofed (so the installers only have to make one trip). That was supposed to be last week, but the next building wasn't re-roofed. I don't know why. Now, I have no idea when the next roof will be done, meaning, I have no idea (still) when my new operable skylight will be installed. And this week, it's going to be the hottest that it's been in a LONG time.
:P I say.
Well...as I drove to work this morning (after posting the message above), I saw that another building in my condo complex was being re-roofed!! When I got to work, I called the property manager and left a message asking if this means that I'll be getting my new operable skylight. She called me back a little later and said that the roofers (who are supposed to install my new operable skylight) will contact me. When I came home this afternoon, there was a business card with a note asking me to call the roofers. I spoke to the guy and he said that my new operable skylight will be installed tomorrow (Tuesday) morning!! AT 8:00 AM! That's just when I normally wake up. :-\ But I don't care. I want that darned new operable skylight put in! So, I'm finally getting my new operable skylight!! ;D :D ;D :D ;D
-
I'm through with my viewing for the evening and shall now just relax.
-
Almost exactly two years ago, I posted that it was very hot up in my bedroom. On July 12, 2007, 12:01:52 AM (at the end of the day for the topic UP IN ARMS), I wrote:
When I came home this evening (at about 10:30 pm), the temperature up in my bedroom was 93 degrees!! :o AND it's at the top of my 3-story town house condo, AND there's no open-able window up at the top! :P The heat just goes up there and stays. I have a couple of fans blowing air around but it still can't actually cool the air. :-\
-
The next day of posts (also July 12, 2007, 11:06:45 PM, but the topic was WAXING AND WANING), I posted that I wanted to change my skylight from one that doesn't open to one that does:
I am really thinking about getting a portable air conditioner...or seeing if I can be allowed to make my skylight in my loft bedroom an openable skylight. All of the condos in this complex have the exact same kind of skylights, except some are square and some are half-sized rectangles. When I was looking at places to buy, one of the other units in this complex had a square skylight (like mine) that could crank open! I hope that that's a possibility because otherwise, there really isn't any easy way to get rid of the hot air up there :P
-
On July 14, 2007 (topic, PETULANT), Jeanne posted some hints (I saved them in a word document, which is how I remembered all of this):
On the subject of skylights, I differ. My present home has three skylights, two of them being the operable sort. A previous abode had an inoperable skylight, which always leaked. I concluded from that experience that skylights always leak. Not so. When I bought this house one of the skylights leaked. I learned that the two operable ones had been installed incorrectly--the remodeler had ignored the (clearly stated) manufacturer's instructions and had NOT provided the proper pitch. I had a contractor do so and caulk them adequately, and VIOLA! no leaks.
It can be difficult to retrofit this, however, because the junction of the skylight and the roof is important. GEORGE, I would contact the manufacturer of your existing skylight and ask if they make any operable ones the same size as your existing one, and also how difficult he thinks it would be to make the change.
BTW, my skylights were made by Andersen Windows, and even though the installation error was clearly not Andersen's fault, they gave me new sashes (the portion of the skylight which contains the glass) free of charge. I had to pay my contractor to do the modification, however. So I must say that Andersen went the extra mile and then some.
BTW #2, I couldn't LIVE in this house without those two operable skylights! The extra ventilation makes a huge difference.
BTW#3: some models have a screen to keep out the flying insects.
-
The new skylight IS supposed to have a screen. :)
-
IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS, BUT IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!! And since the roofers (who just put a new roof on my building) are ordering and installing all the skylights for the condo complex (if the owners want new ones), the workmanship will be covered under their warranty! ;D
-
Well, since I got very little sleep last night, I'm going to go to bed now, in the hopes that I'll get some sleep. I'm going to bring the foam mattress from my bedroom upstairs down to the sleeper-sofa (I should've done that last night, but I didn't think that the sleeper-sofa would be SO uncomfortable) and take the batteries out of the two clocks, so that there is silence. And if I'm able to get to sleep earlier than usual, it won't be so bad when the roofers come early tomorrow to install the new skylight. I'll make sure that I get up earlier than they're supposed to be here, so that I can make myself presentable. ;)
Good night, all!
-
Vibes to one and all and also all and one.
-
Yes vibes to all.
-
The rabbit ears did not work. I guess I'm stuck buying a new tv. The smallest one is still $200.00. Will have to wait.
I made this big stink in my building about the smell, and then of course everyone stopped talking to me. And now I just found out my manager was arrested a couple of days ago. (for something completely different I think).
I'm curious to see what happens. Maybe I'll stay if things change for the better (if the management company pays more attention to the building out of quilt it would help).
-
Goodnight all.
Good vibe Tuesday. ;)

See ya Wednesday MattH.

Sweet dreams.

Dear FJL, I just realized you do not have a signature on your posts.
