Arnold, I'm joking only when i say this but a variation on TO SURD WITH LOVE, maybe? (You'll come up with something much better! I haven't had coffee yet.)

Post by: ChasSmith on April 17, 2013, 04:40:16 AM: I love the Losey/Bogarde/etc. films and revisited them mostly via PAL DVDs a couple of years ago. I guess I'll eventually pop for the UK Blu-rays, but I sure wish so many US releases didn't lag so far behind -- sometimes so far behind as to remain simply non-existent.

Post by: ChasSmith on April 17, 2013, 04:55:29 AM: My latest folly: saying yes to playing in the two-piano revue "Some Enchanted Evening - The Songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein".

Folly, because of the conditions: a small outdoor summer theater venue where you swat Flying and Crawling Things from Hell off the music whilst praying the tent won't leak onto the instruments if it should start raining. But it's a short gig, two weekends. Haven't seen or heard this. I hope the arrangements are good.

Post by: Jrand74 on April 17, 2013, 06:24:19 AM: The prosecutor's rebuttal case started yesterday DR LAURA, and it is going much faster than the defense case. He is pretty much steamrolling over everything the defense tried to do....which was mostly smoke and mirrors to confuse the jury. Hopefully no one took them seriously.
Title: Re: UP AND AT 'EM
Post by: Doug R on April 17, 2013, 06:39:48 AM: I bought some packs of DVD plastic sleeves. I thought I'd put each DVD together with the DVD cover, flat, inside the sleeves which will save a lot of space. I can then store the original DVD boxes in the attic. All I need now is some sort of container to place the boxless, sleeved DVDs in. Obviously it can work for Blu-rays as well - but I only have about 120 of them.

By the way, why do I have to keep typing Blu-ray? Why don't people use an acronym like BR or BD or BRD?

This is what I am doing, too, DR DOUG R - but I am using the sleeves that are punched for a three-ring binder and putting them in there = and sheet protectors to hold the covers. It's amazing how many DVD's/BR that I can get in a small space that way. I am saving a FEW of the cases, but not many in case I ever want to loan a disk or use it away from home.

An excellent question, DR Doug R. I do it differently all the time, depending on context. One option I kind of like, while not falling in line with DVD, LD, BD, etc., is the abbreviation BLU.

Good idea DR Jrand62. I was beginning to think along those lines. I think A5 ring binders are the way to go. The sleeves I have are big enough for me to punch holes and put them in the binders.

Have you ever heard of Tate's Bake Shop cookies? I'm addicted to the chocolate chip-walnut. I'm told the butterscotch-pecan is a dream, but local suppliers don't carry them.

Trader Joe's carries its own brand of chocolate chips which are baked/packaged by Tate's. Whereas Tate's has a greenish package, the Trader Joe package is a yellowish. Otherwise the packaging is the same.

Actually, aside from the cost, it will be fun. The dental assistant is a gal from The Phillipines and she just cracks me up. She is very sweet and very funny. I always look forward to seeing her.
Title: Re: UP AND AT 'EM
Post by: MBarnum on April 17, 2013, 08:59:21 AM: Yes DR Ron Pulliam, it will be an ouch experience! After insurance it will cost me around $300.00.

Of course, if I was one of those without any dental insurance it would be much worse, so I am terribly thankful, actually.

Tomorrow I go to see the Sleep Clinic doctor as my sleep apnea has been worsening the last few months. My fear is that I will need to do another sleep-over at the hospital which will cost me, after insurance, another $500-600 dollars. Again, very thankful to have insurance, but still...ouch!

It also means that chances of taking a vacation this year are getting slimmer and slimmer.
Title: Re: UP AND AT 'EM
Post by: MBarnum on April 17, 2013, 09:00:39 AM: I really should not complain at all, though. I feel very, very bad for those who do not have insurance coverage at all. If I did not have insurance coverage, I would not even be here.

We've found the ideal leading man replacement, who wants to do the recording, and he's committed to a trip between August 11-18. We could rehearse him in New York, but he'd miss rehearsing with his castmates between Aug 13 and 15, but I need him in the studio the morning of the18th to record. If there were delays or flight cancellations, we'd be screwed.

My mom went to Mexico to get crowns on several of her teeth...at about $200 each! Friends of hers live in Arizona near the Mexican border and have been going to the same dentist for years. The were trained in the states and have all the latest technology. Her dentist here in Olympia checked out the work when she got back and said that they did very good work. It's just a LOT cheaper in Mexico.

I now musts and needs to be running some errands at: Trader Joe's (for evening snack material), Guitar Center (for cables), Home Depot (for water softener salt pellets), Costco (to ask about tires), the library (for a DVD I'm happy to rent, not purchase), and perhaps a bite to eat.

Have you ever heard of Tate's Bake Shop cookies? I'm addicted to the chocolate chip-walnut. I'm told the butterscotch-pecan is a dream, but local suppliers don't carry them.

Trader Joe's carries its own brand of chocolate chips which are baked/packaged by Tate's. Whereas Tate's has a greenish package, the Trader Joe package is a yellowish. Otherwise the packaging is the same.

Don't know Tate's, or TJ's packaging of same. I'm not sure I've even bought any cookies there in recent years. Today's visit was for tortilla chips, salsa, and avocados etc. for guacamole. Mexican snacks.

I take my snacks like I take my dentistry: Mexican!

I'm beginning to think this ROBERTA recording is cursed! We've found the ideal leading man replacement, who wants to do the recording, and he's committed to a trip between August 11-18. We could rehearse him in New York, but he'd miss rehearsing with his castmates between Aug 13 and 15, but I need him in the studio the morning of the18th to record. If there were delays or flight cancellations, we'd be screwed.

Damnation!

I love the original recording. I haven't listened to the revival recording in quite a while, so I don't remember much of it.

I remember reading that the original cast recording has the most spoken dialogue on a musical cast album. I think that it's pretty cool that they put that whole last scene on the recording.

The prosecutor's rebuttal case started yesterday DR LAURA, and it is going much faster than the defense case. He is pretty much steamrolling over everything the defense tried to do....which was mostly smoke and mirrors to confuse the jury. Hopefully no one took them seriously.

And the defense is doing a lousy job trying to impeach the state expert. Yes, she's young, but she's professional and going over her CV line by line doesn't really mean a thing to anyone

Of course, thanks for asking. I have always wanted to take another cruise that had more "AT SEA" days as opposed to "DAYS IN PORT. This one certainly fits that requirement. We sail from New Orleans on Sunday evening, We are at sea on Monday, and then on Tuesday we stop in Miami. From there we are at sea for seven days until we dock in the Azores. From there we are at sea for, I believe, three days. Then we stop in Dover, then a day at sea, then Helsingborg, Sweden, and then final stop in Copenhagen.
