Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke lovingly of books, and now it is time for you to post until the bookish cows come home.

And the word of the day is: BURLED!

Could use some vibes for this trip. Mom was so anxious to leave yesterday morning, she didn't listen to me about leaving the suitcase for me to carry, and when she went outside she fell backwards and hit her hip and head on my cement porch and stone pillar. She screamed and I heard her upstairs in the house. We were all in shock and mom has a scrape on her head. Dad wanted to cancel the trip, but mom didn't want to. I cleaned up the scrape and we went to breakfast to give her another half hour to see if we should go or stay and get her to see a doctor. Luckily she rebounded well, knew all the answers to the basic questions, had an appetite and wasn't sick to her stomach etc. I think her body caught most of the fall and she just scraped her head, but she's sore. Haven't seen her this morning, so I hope she's able to get around today
-
As soon as we started our trip we saw a bald eagle, something you don't see in Sioux City, so I told them that was a good omen and we were off. Mom felt better as the day wore on, sore as expected, but nothing too bad
-
Wow, sorry to hear about your Mom, Cilla.
Vibes to her.
-
It's more than an 8 hour drive to get here. It was a very long day, so we just checked into the hotel and spent time with my sister's family. Today we'll get the tour of the tornado damage from Joe and my nephew and go to the Rebuild Joplin store. Tonight is the rehearsal dinner and tomorrow is the wedding. It's now supposed to snow on Monday, lol, so I have a feeling we may be here longer than expected. That's fine with me if it happens.
-
Good morning, all! I will short;y be in a taxi carting me and a huge carton to Toyland. Once there, I leave the carton, print out the latest DEAREST ENEMY score and hie myself back uptown to sepnd the day proofreading.
It should be a quiet day.
DR Jose, I am so sorry to hear about your friend's death.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vibes to Cillaliz for her travels and travails! and good weekend vibes for all! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
Thanks Ben, she was so excited about the trip I think she got ahead of herself. I also think she was turning around to shut the door so the cats wouldn't get out and forgot about the step. I'm glad I was there because other than being sore, she was fine on the trip and has been very excited to be here and see her great granddaughters. If I hadn't been there, dad would have cancelled the trip
-
DR Cillaliz, I hope your mom is okay! Falls can sometimes bring nasty surprises after the initial pain and shock wear off.
-
Mom is going to give a program on the tornado for her PEO chapter, so today is all research for her. We need to stop at Walmart and get her a handheld tape recorder so she can review what she's been told about the tornado.
-
Yikes!!! Vibes for DR CILLA LIZ and family!!
-
Thanks Elmore. I'm not concerned about her head anymore. She's actually gone out of her way to demonstrate how sharp her mind is, lol. She's doing much better than she was at Christmastime and getting away from the fire recovery at the house is good for both of them. I'm more concerned about her hip today. Oh, I heard a door that sounds like it's next door better go see if they are up.
-
Congrats to Mary Linda on her employment.
Condolences to DR JOSE on the loss of his friend. Sad Story.
DR JOSE....are you sure they have called EVERYONE who has been cast in The Music Man? Because I didn't get a message. Please remember that I do know all of Mayor Shinn's lines and can step in at a moment's notice.
-
Thanks JRand. It was honestly VERY scary. But I'm very glad we continued the trip and haven't had any problems since. I think we'll be ok. I also think i have my mind around the fact we may not be leaving until Tuesday. Guess I'll go see if we could stay an extra day if necessary.
-
Resume photo. ;D
-
It was scary to read about DR CILLA LIZ. And you can keep the snow there!!
-
Mom's up and moving around this morning. She's mostly worried about how her hair looks in back. We'll get it looking fine for the wedding with a little water and a blow dryer. When I told them about the forecast, dad said "this is one of those trips you want to write about later" lol. I think all is well. Now as soon as the 100 or so Special Olympians staying at the hotel finish in the breakfast area, we can get something to eat
-
Love the photo, JRand
-
Good morning!
-
Yikes!!! Vibes for DR CILLA LIZ and family!!
From me too!
-
Thanks DR CILLA LIZ.
Now I am off to work.
-
Greetings from Toyland! The advantage of a taxi at 8am on Saturday or Sunday is the limited amount of traffic. The ride down here this morning cost me about what I would have paid three years ago during a busy day.
I've dropped off, I've printed, and I guess I'm heading for an uptown bus.

Need to talk later. Must be at Toyota before 7am.
Got caught up in boyfriend's custody battle for his son, by his ex and her attorney.
Will tell gossip this afternoon, and that is all it is, gossip.
Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day outside.
Beautiful Saturday everyone.

Good morning, all.

Many vibes for Cillaliz, your mom and your dad on this trip.

Also got caught up in stuff with my friend's son's trouble.
So i hid last night. Not at home. Did not want any part of it.
I guess i acted like a baby, running away, that will teach them. ???
-
Later 8)
-
While it felt good to be in my own best last night, the sleep was not of a very good quality, so I am exhausted and tired and cranky this morning.
-
Glad your mom is ok, Cillaliz.
And vibes for Vixmom's MIL. Keep us updated.

Hope you have a better day today, John.

I'm listening to the fantastic new boxed set of Marcos Valle albums. Marcos and his brother Paul Sergio are sometimes called the Gershwins of Bossa Nova (by me, if by no one else ;) ), and this new set is a compendium of all of Marcos' albums from 1963 to 1974. His name may not be familiar to some of you, but you've heard his music--he wrote Summer Samba (a huge hit for Walter Wanderley and a chart hit for several Americans with a lyric as So Nice), The Face I Love (a big hit for Andy Williams), and Crickets Sing for Anamaria, among many, many others. Wonderful, wonderful stuff.
-
Marcos also wrote that song I was trying to decipher the Gimbel lyric to, FJL.
-
Thank you to DR JRand for the employment congrats for my dear D-i-L Mary Linda, who is celebrating her 25th birthday today.
-
BK, when will you be in DC? Betsy's going there to speak at a Wind Conference the last week of March.
-
Mary Linda, who is celebrating her 25th birthday today.
I hate her. ;D
Happy Birthday to Mary Linda!

It's stopped snowing and the sun is shining, but it's c-c-c-cold and very windy - a perfect day to stay in and make vegetable beef soup. The house smells good already!
-
I'm up and will jog as soon as she of the Evil Eye arrives. Usually she's here by now, unless I'm forgetting and she came last Saturday, but I don't think she did.

Good question DR Ben, especially since I'm only reading eBooks these days.
-
DR John G, I hope you are staying on bed most of the day and doing nothing but relaxing and watching tv.
DITTO!! Maybe also reading. :)

Coldest day of the winter so far. Last night it was about -10 C and it's been barely above freezing all day.

Got this from a friend in case anyone has been curious to see the Merm in this rare dramatic performance:
"Antenna TV, Channel 166, on Time Warner.
Note: The show is literally 4 AM on Sunday Morning, February 12 -- so set to record before you go to sleep, or stay awake tonight and see it. If you don't live in New York, see if your local cable company carries Antenna TV.
TWIXT THE CUP AND LIP
1965 Color Kraft Suspense Theatre
also starring Larry Blyden
4AM Antenna Ch. 166 on Time Warner Cable, Manhattan."

Jose - I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend and colleague.

Found this rather incredible feedback whilst perusing an Amazon Marketplace Seller's site today:
"I have been in Rapture seance my dealings with this seller. I have looked the world over for a business deal of this grandeur, now that I found it, I can call my life complete."
-
I want to be in Rapture seance, don't you?
-
I have serious doubts that this seller actually has the item I just bought for a rather incredibly low price, but if so, I will indeed be in Rapture seance.
-
Thank you, DRs Jane, FJL, and Laura!
-
Wow, JMK. You bought something from him? I want to hear all about your Rapture seance!

I watched "The Mysteries of Lisbon" last night and this morning. I plan on catching up with Downton Abbey today. And I saw "Bridesmaids." I laughed twice. One was a Jill Clayburgh scene. I miss her.
-
Thank you, DR Jennifer!
-
Page four!
-
BK, interesting reading about your book collecting.
I'm curious, do you ever read any of the books you buy? Or are they only for collecting?
-
My library is starting a fast reads section. You get a book for 7 days, no renewals. $2/day fine and no reservations. The odd thing is you can only take out 1 book per card.
Not sure exactly what books they will have. The books have not been put out yet. But I did see Lisa Gardner's new book is slated to be there. And I saw James Patterson's new book is gonna be there. Maybe it will just be the most popular authors.

A fine of $2 a day?? Last year (or maybe the year before), our library started charging fines for the first time in its 40+ year history and they were concerned that people would be upset at a fine of 15¢ a day!
-
Well, I just had to pop in and ketchup. I'm going to see "The Artist" today. I really am excited to see it. :D
Have a good day, all!

But this fine is only for the special books. There should be a higher fine if these are late. In Michigan we paid 50 cents to check new best sellers which was fine with me. I don't remember what the late fine was as I never needed to pay it.

What have you cleaned it with so far? I would begin with vinegar & water. If that doesn't work add baking soda to the mix. Be sure to leave the door open for awhile.

DR DOUG, my spelling is deteriorating, too. I really have to stop and think how to spell a word sometimes! Most annoying.
-
Thank you, DR Jeanne!
-
RE the microwave, I'd use baking powder, but vinegar makes sense, too. I'm too frugal to use DR Laura's approach, but I can certainly see the merits in it!

I've been watching the new Netflix exclusive, LILYHAMMER. I tuned in thinking it was a thriller--wasn't it billed as that somewhere??--but it's actually quite amusing. It's available either by streaming or discs. It's about a US mob guy who turns in his boss, then goes into the witness protection program--in Norway.
-
Also, thanks to DR JOHN G (or whoever it was) for posting the OLD DEVIL MOON cllip. It was quite wonderful! I sent it to a friend who is a FINIAN's fan. I have the CD, but seeing the clip was great.
-
Enough of me!!
TTFN.

DR Jeanne, thanks for asking. I had a cancerous tumor removed from one of my kidneys.

Work finished for the day. Time for a DVD.

To those who asked, yes, I believe the new book will be an e book but just not sure how long that all takes.

Back from various and sundried things, including another visit to the book fair. And now, it's a few hours of entering fixes.

How are you feeling, John?

Whitney Houston has died
That is shocking. I wonder what happened to her.

They actually featured her on this week's Fashion Police wearing a really bad outfit.

Laura, I'm feeling OK. There's no pain, thankfully. But I wish I had a little more energy. It will come in a day or two.

Vixmom, how did the chili go over? Our church chili cook-off is tomorrow, but I'm not up for it.

Whitney Houston has died
That is shocking. I wonder what happened to her.
From the photos I saw this morning of her leaving a club last night, my guess would be a drug overdose.

No pain! You are very lucky!! I would expect your energy level to take much longer than a couple of days to return. Wishes I'm wrong.
-
Happy Birthday to Mary Linda!
Thank you, DR KevinH!
-
I'm glad you aren't in pain, John. But please take it easy for a while.

I am trying to take it easy. I didn't get the bird today in one effort to do just that, but J.B. is coming home tomorrow. I hope I'm ready to have him on my shoulder constantly.

Whitney Houston has died
Sad to say that I felt it would be sooner than later. She destroyed a brillianr career
-
Can't say I'm shocked, though NBC is reporting no signs of drugs, which I frankly do find shocking.
-
Flatsigned is some eBay term some dealer came up with a decade ago - it denotes a signature on a page of the book, rather than a tipped in signature or one on a laid in card.
-
Excellent vibes and xylophones to all who need them.
-
Watched Notorious. I'm too tired to watch anything else, so I'll just listen to music and relax.

Night, all.

Good luck, Jane!

Today, I went to see "The Artist" with my friend Margo and her friend Marsha. Marsha and I arrived at the theater at about the same time and Margo came in about 5 minutes after it started. I quietly filled her in on what had happened, but she really didn't miss much. Other than that little we all loved it very much. It was touching and sweet and delightful and a lot of fun. Highly recommended! :D

I enjoyed DR GEORGE's post last night about the porn star.
