Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a glorious rideout, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they just finished doing a musical number that ended with them singing, "Moo" held for one beat, followed a one-beat button from the orchestra.
-
And the word of the day is: DEMIURGE!
-
Morning all.
That is all.

Good morning, all! I had a lot of peculiar dreams last night, most of which I don't now remember. One of my dreams had to do with a production of THE BEGGAR'S OPERA but that's all I do remember about it.
The laundry is in the washers and in 10 minutes thet should be ready for the dryers. Once it's finished, i'm stu;ck here until yjr UPS delivery arrives. I have a bit of banking to do then, so I can pack for DC. And that's myday.
-
DR TCB I do not have a tablet but I am sure there must be a keyboard you can bring up on the screen.
-
good morning from my final day in montreal. I am heading back to florida and a tropical storm on its way.
-
;D
-
Morning.
That is all.
I'm late again for work.
;D ;D
-
The laundry is finished and put away. Now I wait. And wait.

DR JENNIFER I would only use the Kindle for reading books. I am not interested in having a tablet or telephone with internet capabilities. I don't need to take my computer with me.
I don't text at all - and I barely use my cell phone - it is only in case of emergencies. But then I am not so important that I need to be instantly and constantly IN TOUCH with anybody in particular.
I do NOT have WIFI, so how the KINDLE seems to be described here and elsewhere seems like just too much trouble. I think I will keep reading BOOKS for awhile.

Thanks to MR BK for the Book Of Mormon report.... I like to listen to the CD, although I haven't gotten it out since I put it away almost a year ago. All of the MP3 songs are $1.29 on Amazon as opposed to the .99 cents most other songs are.
And more than half of the reviewers call the recording the "Broadway Soundtrack" - which irritates the HELL out of me.

Have a safe trip, Mike!

Amazon and ITunes list all such things as Broadway Soundtracks. I usually end up screaming, "It's not a soundtrack!" followed by my lecture to no one. Sugar hates it when I do that!

Good morning.

I've been busy planting bulbs which hopefully will bloom in spring.

I'm going to have to buy a new suit. My brother showed me up recently by wearing a smart new suit when we visited a restaurant and I realised I hadn't bought a suit since I gave up full time work 5 years ago.
-
Wednesday morning greetings! Richard and I are off to Dayton for a medical appointment - his, not mine. Nothing life threatening.
-
BK, said to hear about the changes at Musso's. It was always one delightfully fixed point in an ever-changing world. I too remember the hamburger stand next to the Huntington Hartford, which was a lovely theatre.

I wonder if the Devil had anything to do with the rideout.
Wasn't there a Hammer film about it...."The Devil Rides Out" or something?
-
It's Wednesday, October 24th.
I voted today (absentee ballot turned in at the Superior Court down the street from my office building).
I have a jury summons for tomorrow. Will be calling in this afternoon to see if they want my group to report.
-
I'm up. I didn't fall asleep till three-thirty. Need to fix that because it's happening too frequently.

Page one? One page?

Well, I've seen my new refrigerator.
It's a GE, and with no advance notification it arrived about 20 minutes ago. That meant a flurry of activity while I emptied the old one and thedelivery men hauledit into the building. At that point I noticed thedoor was hinged incorrectly and refused to accept it. The delivery men checked the delivery info and. sure enough, GE was supposedto redo the door and they didn't. The chief delivery man called theoffice and they said to cart it back for the door replacement.
So they carted it out of here and I told them to call me on Monday and schedule a new delivery. I'm glad it happened while I was here. Otherwise I would have come home to find a fridge in place with an inoperable door.
So, I've plugged the old one back in and put everything back into it. The new one looks great, I must say, but I cannot say I'm fond of the GE company at the moment.
-
Is it a full-size fridge or half-size?

You do not need wifi to use your kindle. You just need it for a few minutes when you want your ebooks to download. There must be some place that has wifi near you. Do you want access to free ebooks. Amazon is the best in this respect. Or do you just want to pay full price for whatever book you want. I really cannot recommend the kindle highly enough. Love mine.

That is frustrating about the fridge door. But good thing you noticed the problem.

The Romney camp is endorsing this lunatic from Indiana? Which one's crazier? This moron or the one endorsing him?

It's been a concern since I asked for a new fridge and the landlord took care of it. GE did not.

Goody!

It's Huge - that's the title of my next novel.

Good day one and all!!!

I've answered e-mails and now I guess I'll try to jog - it's pretty windy outside.
-
Vibes to one and all!!

So if it's full size I guess you got your wish and now have a frost-free freezer?
Hooray for you!!!

Well, it isn't here yet.

Early Hooray for You!!!
Hope DC will be fun.

I will be happy when the election season is over. I am growing weary from negative ads from both parties...
-
I may have to buy the Book of Mormon cast recording.. none of the stores around here have it
-

Hope DC will be fun.
Me, too! The last visit was a bust.

Missed the window for jogging. But after the work session I'll probably have time. And I think I'll power walk to Jerry's instead of drive. And I totally forgot I have to go to my engineer's tonight.
-
Good afternoon.
Computer problems today. Am using my nook and hate the keyboard.

"Elementary" has just opened over here. I thought the opening episode was good. Not as clever as "Sherlock" but well scripted, directed and acted.

We are back from Dayton, where Richard visited a new (to us) podiatrist who, in a few weeks, will perform some conservative surgery on one of his toes. We then had lunch at Panera and drove around Kettering Medical Center so that we know where we're going on the day of the procedure.
-
I thought the delivery men changed the door if it needed to be changed.
-
Had a very yummilicious grilled cheese and bacon sandwich - I forget how much I like grilled cheese sandwiches. Then I picked up three packages.
-
I am off to Salem for the first FULL run thru of THE CRUCIBLE.
Perhaps I shall return.....
-
I thought the delivery men changed the door if it needed to be changed.
Not today.

DR Elmore, when do you leave for DC?
-
Thank you DR Laura. We have lots of fireflies at the pond. You would enjoy photographing them. I do not have the patience, or the zoom lens on my camera.
-
From DR TCB:
Jennifer, I really think you need to see your doctor for a complete exam.
I was going to suggest the same thing. There should be loads of blood taken & tests to be run to find out why you have been so run down the last year. It might be more than just catching things from your nieces.
-
From DR CharlesPogue:
My father did not like them (I think he had a friend who was killed on one), so we never had one...until neither of my parents wanted to drive my brother to summer football practice at six in the morning, so he got a bike from a relative or somewhere, but by that time I didn't care and would've have probably never learned to balance myself on one anyway. And, frankly, I was kind of in my father's camp. I liked something with sides around me.
I can understand your father's concerns. I'm glad you didn't feel deprived not having one.

While we continue to watch we are still undecided on this one. It doesn't come close to "Sherlock" and I find the actor's accent annoying, and the tattoos, and a few other things. There are moments though when I forget all these things and am engrossed.
-
I thought the delivery men changed the door if it needed to be changed.
They probably couldn't fix it.
When my dryer door needed to have the direction switched I was told they don't do this due to lack of time in the scheduling, then he kindly fixed it for me.

SAFE AND EASY TRAVELING VIBES DR MIKE!!
-
DR Elmore, when do you leave for DC?
7:00am.
-
DR Elmore, when do you leave for DC?
7:00am.
Oh, so we'll both be up early tomorrow. I'm going on a bus trip with my Mom and her senior center friends to Ohio's Hocking Hills. It was scheduled as a Fall Foliage Tour, but the fall foliage has past its peak. It was beautiful on my drive to Indiana and back last week, but I'm afraid tomorrow will just be a long bus ride for lunch.
Travel vibes to you, dear friend!
-
Have fun & good weather.

This article got to me as I have some scary memories riding as a passenger with my mother driving.

Yesterday at the gym I saw one of my book club members and stopped to chat, which turned out to be a good thing. She mentioned she couldn't get the book at the library and had to buy it at the book store & it was pricey at $20. I was surprised about both comments but didn't think much about it.
Then she said the book store, that keeps a list of all book groups & the books they are reading plus gives us a discount, had the wrong book listed & the incorrect coordinator & said she needed me to call. This conversation was 10 days ago & she had forgotten to let me know. ::)
I was totally baffled how the book could be wrong since I had updated the bookstore's list just before this person was there. I of course called as soon as I got home. I got lucky & spoke to the same person who took my info & confirmed she had done it correctly, yet it showed the book change. Knowing which book it was changed to set off the light bulb in my head.
I called the person who told me the book was incorrect & sure enough she had mistaken an email for the February book as the November book.
Ten days!!! I hope she was the only one reading the wrong book. I will not be happy if people come to my house unprepared to discuss my book. And yes, an email went out as soon as I got off the phone with the bookstore.
-
The email about the February book, which she purchased for $20, also mentions how to find it for a lot less.
I do feel bad for her because I know she has some medical issues that make her foggy at times though she is extremely bright.

Well, I learned on tonight's news about how my credit card theft happened: monitors on 63 Barnes & Noble stores, including the one where I used to work at 82nd and Broadway. Istopped in there several weeks ago to buy Godiva truffles for my dinner host when my friend Elena was in town.
-
My friend Kim Criswell's movies is now on DVD in the US and Amazon just sent me my copy. It's a bawdy comedy and I recommend the film. Kim has the wildest scene.

You used your debit card? We don't use ours since our account was hacked at Costco. No one said for sure it was Costco but they were the only place we used the debit card. Now they take American Express cards.

Do you remember the TV series "Eli Stone" about a lawyer in San Francisco who had a brain tumor and saw things, a times, that came true later?
Same actor plays Sherlock here.
-
Hi all! Sorry I've been away but you know me, I get depressed and then I can't say anything. It is really rough at work and there was nothing happening with the house.
I finely have some good news--was told that they are going to post the permits tomorrow. I guess that means things really are going to start shortly! ;)
I hope everyone is doing well.

We watched it once and stopped. I think I liked him better as Stone.

A story for all of the collector's here:

Back from a wonderful couple of hours with the editor of Outside The Box - he did a fantastic job on the first episode of season two - I almost spit up my Diet Coke at one point because of the way he cut one particular laugh - it was always going to be one of the great laughs of the series, but he made it even funnier. But the whole thing plays beautifully and other than a couple of pull-ups in the set-up scene to help the pace (maybe eliminating twenty seconds) it's just grand. I made no changes at all in the first number, one tiny change in the second, and none in the third. That's the way I like it. He's just so on my wavelength in terms of the humor.

I do not have credit cards but I am seriously considering getting a few visa gift cards or pre-paid cards. I am thinking they might be safer for online purchases, etc.

Not run down the last year, only the last month. I don't really have any other symptoms. And it is common (for me at least) to feel a bit under the weather when the seasons change. I"m not really sick. I've often felt under the weather for a while. But then it goes away.
If i felt like crap i would definitely go to the doctor. But what should i say now. That i'm 70%. Most people probably feel only 70% much of the time. It mostly impacts my ability to exercise.

I never use my debit card to buy anything at stores. Either credit card or cash.

I loved ELI STONE!
-
Has anybody found any new series that they really enjoy?
I decided not to watch many new shows. I am watching ARROW and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. I"ve only seen one ep of the first and two of the latter. So far I really like BATB.
-
I wonder if i would like to be in a book club.
I love discussing books. But I prefer to read what I want to read. I think I'd like the club if it was only my books. :)
-
I am going to make chilli probably tomorrow. Have not had any in quite a while.

It seems on and off you have been ill with things that lingered for a long time. When was the last time you had routine blood work done?
-
Tonight I had some homemade (not by me) bean and barley soup with meat in it. I don't know why but I just love b&b soup when it has fall off the bone meat in it!

With the right credit card you can get cash back. The key is to pay everything off immediately without monthly interest payments.

It has been a while since I've had blood work.
I don't think I got sick at all during this past summer. I think summers i am usually good cause lots of exercise and fresh air.

I had passed on BATB. We missed the first episode of ARROW and caught the second one. I'm on the fence with this one leaning towards dropping it.

;D
I've read some books I would never had read and been very glad I did. This has happened more than the books I wish I had never read & would not have done so on my own. There are clubs with more selective categories which are more difficult to find unless they are mystery groups.
Even books I have disliked have had great discussions, sometimes better than a book that everyone likes.

Then maybe it would be a good idea for a routine check-up and blood work.

Then you need to find a TBR book club. Good luck with that. ;) If you did, before joining find out what books they plan to read. Libraries & books stores are good places to find book groups, if you decide to look into it.

Thank you for introducing me to goodreads. While I don't discuss books there I enjoy other aspects of the site.

THE TIGER'S WIFE, the book I need to lead the discussion for came in the eBook form today. Now I don't have to get a hard copy or paper back.

Then you need to find a TBR book club. Good luck with that. ;) If you did, before joining find out what books they plan to read. Libraries & books stores are good places to find book groups, if you decide to look into it.
The good thing is that I can discuss the books I read on goodreads.
:)
Thank you for introducing me to goodreads. While I don't discuss books there I enjoy other aspects of the site.
I like Goodreads also.
There are several books that others are reading that I am considering. I did read Time Traveller's Wife a few years ago. I enjoyed it.

Love Jane Austen... I have read Pride and Prejudice one toooooo many times. It is one of my favorites by her.
-
I love goodreads. I am able to keep track of all the books i've read and want to read.
DR Jane how many books have you read this year? Or do you keep track?
-
I forgot to continue dating the books I have read. Figure at least two books a week.

So do I.

Back from the engineer's home environment - we listened to the live recording of Juliana Hansen's show, which sounds very good - just debating whether I actually want to release it or not. And we recorded all the Stephen Findle dialogue for the first two episodes, so that's done.
-
Safe travel vibes to Mike and Elmore!
-
No one ever wants to discuss the books that I read.
-
I wonder how close we are to page 5????

I need to add the last two book I read. Just got done reading one by Louise Erdrich called Islands and Books. It is more a personal journey to understand the rock paintings on rocks in Northern Minnesota and Ontario from an Ojibwe perspective.
Interesting book... I have been chewing on some of her comments for several days.

Well, I've seen my new refrigerator.
It's a GE, and with no advance notification it arrived about 20 minutes ago. That meant a flurry of activity while I emptied the old one and thedelivery men hauledit into the building. At that point I noticed thedoor was hinged incorrectly and refused to accept it. The delivery men checked the delivery info and. sure enough, GE was supposedto redo the door and they didn't. The chief delivery man called theoffice and they said to cart it back for the door replacement.
So they carted it out of here and I told them to call me on Monday and schedule a new delivery. I'm glad it happened while I was here. Otherwise I would have come home to find a fridge in place with an inoperable door.
So, I've plugged the old one back in and put everything back into it. The new one looks great, I must say, but I cannot say I'm fond of the GE company at the moment.
I'm surprised they didn't just switch it at your apartment. You can change the side it opens on without getting a new door. Apparently the delivery men didn't know that

DR JENNIFER I would only use the Kindle for reading books. I am not interested in having a tablet or telephone with internet capabilities. I don't need to take my computer with me.
I don't text at all - and I barely use my cell phone - it is only in case of emergencies. But then I am not so important that I need to be instantly and constantly IN TOUCH with anybody in particular.
I do NOT have WIFI, so how the KINDLE seems to be described here and elsewhere seems like just too much trouble. I think I will keep reading BOOKS for awhile.
You do not need wifi to use your kindle. You just need it for a few minutes when you want your ebooks to download. There must be some place that has wifi near you. Do you want access to free ebooks. Amazon is the best in this respect. Or do you just want to pay full price for whatever book you want. I really cannot recommend the kindle highly enough. Love mine.
I love my Nook. Their new one is really just a reader. My old nook had 3G so I didn't need wifi to download, but I'm not sure they make them that way anymore
-
I thought the delivery men changed the door if it needed to be changed.
They probably couldn't fix it.
When my dryer door needed to have the direction switched I was told they don't do this due to lack of time in the scheduling, then he kindly fixed it for me.
You can fix them, they probably just didn't know how

Good evening. Well it was a fun weekend in Viroqua with Gabe. My avatar is both of is making spooky faces. He's 5 and a doll. I just adore him.

The new cat sitter was a nightmare. I came home to things moved around, mostly just things, not furniture, but also my bills my info on my accident etc. It really bothered me. I know she wants to be my cleaning person and to help me reorganize my house, but I didn't ask her to do any of that and it upset me. I may have been ok if she had called me when she had problems with Callie the first night and if Callie hadn't been a mess and very very upset when I got home. She had her medicine all over her (it's a sticky mess) and not long after I got home was throwing up. She was very angry and wouldn't let me go near her.
Needless to say I was totally upset. It took me hours to get Callie to calm down. Hours to get her cleaned up and a couple days for things to get back to normal. I am looking for a new cat sitter. Someone who is more interested in taking care of my cats than rearranging my house.

Trust me, Jrand, even I can turn the wifi on and off. If I can do it, anyone can.

Hi all! Sorry I've been away but you know me, I get depressed and then I can't say anything. It is really rough at work and there was nothing happening with the house.
I finely have some good news--was told that they are going to post the permits tomorrow. I guess that means things really are going to start shortly! ;)
I hope everyone is doing well.
Danise, I hate to sound like your mother, but I really do worry when you don't check in, at least, every couple of weeks. I am happy about the permits.

Game is over. SF Giants won game 1. It was a good game.

Thank you DR Laura. We have lots of fireflies at the pond. You would enjoy photographing them. I do not have the patience, or the zoom lens on my camera.
You have fireflies? In Oregon? I had no idea. I never saw a firefly in my life until I moved to New Jersey in 1979.
-
I bet she meant "dragonflies."
-
I'm so sorry, Cillaliz. I was hoping she would work out for you. Poor Callie.

Went to Gelson's for a little snack. One of the packages I got today was more Cherry Ripe candy bars!

Well, I learned on tonight's news about how my credit card theft happened: monitors on 63 Barnes & Noble stores, including the one where I used to work at 82nd and Broadway. Istopped in there several weeks ago to buy Godiva truffles for my dinner host when my friend Elena was in town.
You used your debit card? We don't use ours since our account was hacked at Costco. No one said for sure it was Costco but they were the only place we used the debit card. Now they take American Express cards.
RFID
Radio-frequency identification! I hate so sound like "the sky is falling," but this is a very real problem. The crook only has to walk past you with this very small electronic device and can instantly have all the information off of your credit cards or debit cards or passports.

Wow, I wish I could attend that auction.

I am sure your therapist would be happy to discuss them with you.

George! Are you back home?

Well, my work here is done.
G'night!

And the Supervisor Book Camp is over. I did learn a lot. I realize that I've had it pretty easy with my staff...there haven't been any kind of problems, really. Some of the other participants are dealing with some heavy issues in their jobs. One woman has a staff member who paid $16,000 in invoices but the items were never delivered. :o

We are back from Dayton, where Richard visited a new (to us) podiatrist who, in a few weeks, will perform some conservative surgery on one of his toes. We then had lunch at Panera and drove around Kettering Medical Center so that we know where we're going on the day of the procedure.
~~~Toe Vibes for Richard!!~~~

DR Elmore, when do you leave for DC?
7:00am.
~~~Travel Vibes for Elmore!!~~~

My friend Kim Criswell's movies is now on DVD in the US and Amazon just sent me my copy. It's a bawdy comedy and I recommend the film. Kim has the wildest scene.

I just ordered the Blu-ray!

Has anybody found any new series that they really enjoy?
I decided not to watch many new shows. I am watching ARROW and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. I"ve only seen one ep of the first and two of the latter. So far I really like BATB.
I"m really enjoying "Nashville." It's a bit melodramatic with the young singer's story and her drug-addicted mother, though.

Back from a wonderful couple of hours with the editor of Outside The Box - he did a fantastic job on the first episode of season two - I almost spit up my Diet Coke at one point because of the way he cut one particular laugh - it was always going to be one of the great laughs of the series, but he made it even funnier. But the whole thing plays beautifully and other than a couple of pull-ups in the set-up scene to help the pace (maybe eliminating twenty seconds) it's just grand. I made no changes at all in the first number, one tiny change in the second, and none in the third. That's the way I like it. He's just so on my wavelength in terms of the humor.
Sounds great, BK!

BK, have you made other recordings for people that haven't been released? What if you put together something like a "Directed by Kimmel" compilation and had a few tracks from each so that the performers could be on a released CD but you wouldn't have to worry about whether each performer's CD would sell enough...assuming that you had recorded other performers' acts. Since it would be one CD with multiple performers, each of their fans would be interested in the one CD and more people would buy it.
Just an idea. :)

And now, since I haven't gotten much sleep over the past couple of days, I'm going to bed (after I brush my teeth and get ready).
