And the word of the day is: STOCHASTIC!
Hello all the Vixter has been out shoveling teh walk there is only a couple of inmches but it is sto=ill falling steadilly however I plan to loan teh van with a shovel ice scraper blankets water food and venture intot he city anyway
Larry, are you still on for the group at the Landmarc?
I bought a new frying pan, with lid, today. I needed one with a lid because Daisy has taken to jumping up on the kitchen units and licking the fat in the frying pan. She's certainly not short of food but, of course, cats just love to search and steal food.
Just heard from vixmom - she made it into the city in pretty good time.
See you later, Larry!
I suppose he was also wearing dark close? Did he at least have a light on his bike & a helmet?
Jennifer if I can get the preview for my Nook please email me how to do so. Thanks.
Hello, DR Jeanne - it's nice to see you!
DR Jane, you asked how i got an advanced e-copy of CATCH ME. A goodfriends friend who knows I love Lisa Gardner recommended a site called netgalley. You have to have a blog, or review books, or be a librarian or sell books. Anyhow she said that she was approved for the book so told me to try it. And i did.
I am reading it now. I'll let you know if it's good.
I meant email me how to get the advanced copy if there was a way for me to do so. Do you have to pay anything for the advance copy?

What is this in reference to? Are you talking about a preview/first chapter of Catch Me?
On the kindle it was at the end of the 7th month e-novella.
Or for the kindle once a book comes out (which Catch me has not) we can go on amazon and ask for a sample (which is usually the first one or two chapters of any book). I am guessing you must have the same thing for the nook? But it would not be available for books not out yet.
and welcome home to Jane!

I saw Exodus when it was first released and found it quite tedious but when I saw it again on DVD a few years ago I found it really engrossing. I also saw Porgy and Bess on first release and remember very little about it but it would be interesting to actually have the opportunity to see it again.
Last night I bought the new bio of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd. It's on my Sony Reader. I also bought the bio of her husband, Prince Philip. It's only my computer and I have to transfer it to my reader. For some reason it didn't transfer to the Reader when I downloaded it, it just appears on the computer. The problem is the wonky Sony software. Whenever I plug in the reader to the computer the sync software starts and then just hangs. I can't do anything (like stop the sync software from starting) so I can't transfer the book. I don't want to read it on the desktop because it's 600 some pages and I don't want to sit in front of the computer to read. I may have to if I don't get this to work correctly.
And I am home from my dinner with DRs Jose, voxmom, FJL, and Jason. DRs Jason and Jose are off to FOLLIES, FJL off to HOW TO SUCCEED, and vixmom to home. I will take off my wet cold shoes, settle down and watch COPS/ After that, perhaps a movie.

Were there pictures taken?
MEGA, MEGA VIBES to TCB, who has had to endure far more than any human should. (Not that it's OK for animals.)
DR Ginny I'm glad you are staying home tomorrow. Vibes DS Rob is having a safe day.
Jane did you see last night's 20/20 about cruises?
DR Ginny I'm glad you are staying home tomorrow. Vibes DS Rob is having a safe day.
Thanks, DR Jane. Paramedic Rob just called to assure us that he survived his workday. He said the roads in Cincinnati are OK, but parking lots, driveways, and sidewalks are in pretty bad shape. Confirmed my suspicion that if we could just get down our driveway we'd be fine. But we can't, so here we are...

Do you have a garage are to you park on the street?
Jane did you see last night's 20/20 about cruises?
No. Did I miss something good?
I received an email from the neighbor above us saying there is flooding up there. I think it is all outside of the house. They suspect it is coming from the highway or railroad above them. If so then we have to figure out if that is causing our problems. I seriously doubt it but it mean the neighbors who don't use our road on a regular basic will be hesitant to pay to fix it until we know for sure. In the meantime I can't drive my car & might have to miss my Wednesday hiking group until the road is fixed. That might not be until spring.

We have a garage, supposedly 2-car but we've only gotten 2 cars in once in the 23 years we've lived here. Usually I park in the garage and Richard on the street, but for a couple of reasons his car had been in the garage this week. When bad weather's expected, we pull the outside car into the lower part of the driveway to get it out of the way of the snowplows and sliding cars.
Jane did you see last night's 20/20 about cruises?
No. Did I miss something good?
The first part of it was just about the Concordia and its Captain (The Chicken of the Sea). The second part was about the alcohol abuse, the fighting between drunk passengerrs, and the lack of security officers onboard. That seemed to be mostly a slam at Carnival Cruise Lines and their emphasis on drinking and drinking games. They also covered the wild partying below the passenger levels where the crew spends their off hours. Plus they talkedabout the number of passengers who have fallen or were pushed overboard..
All in all, a little too much to try and cover in basically a half hour.

Why don't you hike down to your hiking group?

I'm glad I have never noticed annoyingly drunk passengers or cruise staff.
LOL, you guessed correctly. I think you did. I don't remember who owned the original ship for the Disney cruise.
DR TCB how did the guy survive?
Not so sure I want to take a cruise now!
and I am home!
I loved Follies
Not so sure I want to take a cruise now!
Oh you can go with me, Kevin. I will protect you.
20/20 used a lot of video footage from Youtube, such as this one.

Hmm, I want to say Discovery, but I don't think that is right.
DR TCB how did the guy survive?
The guy basically treaded water for fourteen hours, and he finally deciided to just let go. So he started swallling water and let himself drift down below surface. He said he suddenly saw a light and swam back to the surface determined to survive. I little while later he spotted a freighter and started yelling and swimming toward them until they spotted him. All together in was in the shark-infested water for seventeen hours.

Could be. It was the "red" ship or something like that.

Amazing! Thank goodness for the freighter.

That's right. The Big Red Boat. It was Premier Cruises. One of the first Cruise lines I travelled.

Laundry tomorrow morning. Oy.
I have not fully caught up with the posts, but I'll start withThank you, Jeanne.
Sorry to hear of the loss of Larry's friend. My sympathies.
Healthy kidney vibes to John G. Indeed, good health all around.
I hope JRand's dad is doing better, that Doug's broadband is behaving itself, that Laura's knee is all well now, and welcome home to Jane!
The fun part was when I went in the store and asked to play it. The clerk started telling me how different it is from a c flute and when she was mid sentence I picked it up and just started playing it. Her eyes got really big and she said she'd never seen anyone pick the alto flute up and immediately be able to play it that well. By the look on her face, I could tell she meant it. She said it's rare that someone tries it who has actually played an alto before.Sounds like the flute was telling you it needed to go home with you.
