The laundry is going round and round.
And the word of the day is: REMORA!
But... I already shot at Walmart and Subway and still can't afford a ticket.
DR Jane re: your question last night about netgalley ( I could email you but maybe someone else will be interested in the answer).
I'm not an expert since i just joined this week. But my understanding is that you have to be a librarian, someone who sells books or have a blog, or review a lot of books on goodreads. I don't think you review your books on goodreads (I was told that was why i could join). You could always check the site out (netgalley). But it seems like you don't get approved for most of the books you ask for anyhow :(
I'm 25% finished with Catch Me. And so far it's excellent. Will your library get an e-copy? It sounds like that is much easier for you to read. I must say other than the light issue (I need a bright light right near my kindle) i am loving not holding the book (never thought i would love it).
DR Jane, can you leave your house at all?
Woo and Hoo, the melting compound that Richard put on the driveway 24 hours ago is finally beginning to take effect! And my car seems to be thawing out! I may get out to my girlfriend get-together after all!

My dear neighbor Sheree Sano sang my Petula Clark DON'T SLEEP IN THE SUBWAY PARODY, so naturally I put it on YouTube - it's one joke, but with the Subway chain being in the news about their recent product placements, I figured what-the-heck and YouTubed it:

I took a Carnival cruise and liked it (although it was like 12 years ago).
Betsy is skiing with our niece today. Our niece is finishing her last semester at Reed, which means she soon won't be able to say "no" when we ask her to housesit. ;)

Sorry, couldn't resist, ^^

I did not mean to imply last ngiht that all Carnival Cruises end up as drunken brawls.
I'm a bit achy in the bones today because yesterday I decided to show off and shovel not only my own sidewalk but my neighbor lady's as well. There really wasn't much to shovel but in quite a few spots the surface of the snow had frozen to ice and I to slam the snow shovel against it. But I've been feeling better as the wore on so I think I'll survive.
And yet, there were some who told you that you would love your Kindle!

I love to read, but i really did not think i would love my kindle this much. Because I love covers. And I love actual books.
I really thought that i would only use it to get books that i could not read in hardcopy.
I still don't like or want to pay the prices of new ebooks (i'm sorry but $13 seems like way too much when you can buy the book in hardcover on the bookdepository for less). But I had no idea there were so many free books.
I do like it for books i can't get otherwise. And i had no idea that i could check my email or update my goodreads account. So i like that part.
The newest member of my family.....an alto flute!

Why don't you have a snow blower?
DR Dan (the Man), where do you live again? I thought you get more snow.
DR Dan (the Man), where do you live again? I thought you get more snow.
In Pennsauken, just across the river from Northeast Philly.
Lots of snow last year, next to nothing this year.

OK, that is what I thought. I remember having lots of know when we lived outside of Philly. One of my best experiences was sledding under a full moon.
I have something to confess: I haven't separated my whites in years.
I have been trying to add my maiden name to my Facebook page. I don't know if it took between the site stating there are difficulties & the request for a user name (haven't a clue what the original one was) & not accepting anything I put in.

I don't know your maiden name, but when I type in Jane, all I get is your regular name.
Good Evening!
Well... I had only planned to stay for about an hour today...
...Seven hours later...

Very cool. So, no playing for rehearsals?
It says it will take 24 hours for the change, or was that 48 hours-lol. Thank you for checking.I have been trying to add my maiden name to my Facebook page.

That was a rather awkward way of avoiding typing in your last name.

I recognized a couple of names.
DR Jose did you notice my post last week that I was eating Thornton's special toffee? Today I also had Thornton's special licorice toffee. :)
I am probably the only one (other than Craig) who is watching football.

LOL. For special games he cooks up special foods which he shares with me. Tonight he went with a Cuban theme. He made the best black beans I've ever had.
You don't like black beans?

Nope! I watched the end of the Ravens/Patriots (yay, Brady!) and just a bit of the 49ers/Jets.
Sorry to hear you're in pain tonight, DR TCB...
Beautiful flute, Cillaliz. Did you trade in your guitar?
DR CillaLiz, are you into Jethro Tull?
Not if you're facing what I'm facing. Well, maybe not.Hello, Vixter! How is life?

I have to say that since I've started playing the flute again, my life feels like it's back in balance. I don't know if that makes any sense. I grew up in an area were there were no private teachers and my band directors really weren't much into the flute, so I was really pretty self taught. By the time I got to college, I had the tone but didn't have the technique of many of my classmates who had been getting private lessons all their lives. In the middle of the second year, I lost my confidence and quit music. My flute teacher and band directors in college tried to talk me out of quitting but I wouldn't listen and wouldn't give it one more try.Congratulations on your purchase and your new friend.
So, that's how I became a lawyer. Deep down, I still believe I'm a musician who practices law and now I feel like I'm getting my music back. It really feels good.
I am not sure that I have ever had fava beans, but they look good. i would need to look up a recipe or two, but I would probably cook them with ham hocks or bacon. Sorry.Yum.
Oldies.com has the Michael Caine / Jude Law version of SLEUTH on sale for $5.99. Isn't that rather overpriced?Yes, it was only $3 at Big Lots about two years ago. Might be down to $1.88 there now. That is, if you can find one amid all the copies for the Jude Law version of "Alfie."

I met a woman today who reminds me a little of you. She runs a non-profit food truck that fees the homeless and anyone else in need of something nutritious to eat. She gathers leftover fresh produce from the farmers market and breads from several bakeries to include in her meals.
As she gets to know the regulars, she has begun to make 10 vegetarian meals and 1 vegan meal, plus numerous diabetic plates.
She is a former lawyer who left the practice years ago after losing a client on death row. She recently enrolled in culinary school and has decided her new mission is to combat hunger "one plate at a time." She drove up to Joplin last summer and fed many of the workers there right after the tornadoes.
