DP Kismet is better. Still on the meds and special food. I told he could go play with other dogs today but keep an eye out for him.Very glad to hear that!
Lamps Plus! The name just clicked. I still have a lamp from there that I bought for my Redondo Beach apartment in 1982. And I'm amazed, but happy, to see the store is still there, too, at Hawthorne Blvd. and 190th St. in Torrance.
And the word of the day is: FOMITE!
DR Ginny, I love that lamp!

Paypal did tell me of something I'll definitely do when the new card arrives - you can then order a secondary card with a completely different number - you keep that and don't use it and if this happens again, you have the second card to use immediately rather than having to do what I now have to do - wait for ten days. This effectively takes care of the NY trip I was going to make on the 15th. I was going to book it this morning but as I said I will not use the Kritzerland cc to book anything anywhere because I don't want THAT card compromised EVER. So, there's no way to book anything until the new card arrives. What a pain.

Lots of old photos of LA at this blog....if you haven't seen it.

That is horrible and outrageous about the credit card.
But not only the crime itself. I think it's absolutely crazy how long it takes for the banks to get replacement cards into people's hands.
And can't you also STREAM without cable?
Larry, I'm so sorry you're going through all this. When I injured my ankle recently, I had one neighbor doing my laundry (insisting), another friend doing the occasional grocery run, and someone else (hired) to take my to the doctor. And it still wasn't easy!
Vibes it gets easier -- soon!
Dont' know if anyone reads him regularly but Michael Riedel's link has changed. The NY Post has gotten a makeover and old links to MR's column no longer work. Here is the up to date link

Did anyone catch this week's HOT IN CLEVELAND? Along with regulars Betty White and Georgia Engel, it had guest stars Mary Tyler-Moore, Valerie Harper, and Cloris Leachman. I tell you it was the funniest half hour I have spent in a long, long time!
Cloris Leachman, in particular, was an absolute riot...and this is coming from someone who was never a Cloris Leachman fan!
I cannot believe what have just seen - once again my cc has been compromised - unbelievable. A charge to Ikea of Great Britain for just under one thousand bucks, and a 1.17 charge to somewhere in Louisiana. Luckily on the Ikea the cretins used an incorrect billing address so that charge, while it showed up, probably won't go through. The money is already back in my account, the card is shut down, this is now going to wreak havoc with all my online bill-paying until I get the new card and then I have to reset every one of those things - horrible and basically to whomever did this, I wish you nothing but a slow, painful, and immediate death.

Thanks, DR ChasSmith! I've sent a link to the lamp we like from there to the local (Dayton) retailer who's been looking for lamps for us.

How are you feeling, TCB?
I'm going back to Gordon and Betty Moore.
Bye for now.
How are you feeling, TCB?
A little better, I guess. Thank you for asking, John. Now I have the added emotional distress of whether or not to attend my high school reunion tomorrow evening,
Happy Friday, and Happier Weekend to everyone!
I mostly wanted to catch up with all of the well wishers that I missed saying thank you to this week. You've been so kind wishing me the best for tomorrow night's opening and for the previews this week. So, THANK YOU to anyone I missed, and again, to those I didn't miss.
Today: Last rehearsal. Tonight: Last preview, and... more importantly, the last set of faux notes from the inept excuse of a director. He is gone after tomorrow night!! :D Were it not for the artistic director and some very determined actors, this piece would have no life whatsoever.
I will most likely be missing here for the entire weekend, what with opening night tomorrow, and two shows on Sunday, followed by the long drive home.
So, I thank you all in advance for all of your good wishes.
Cheers! And someone please take a nap for me this weekend. :D
I've never had cable TV--ever. I would have loved to have had BBC America, but it was just too expensive. I use Netflix--MUCH cheaper than cable--and my computer. I don't have time to watch everything that's available to me. It means watching some shows a season behind, but I can live with that.
I don't think most people realize what an unfriendly world we live in when we're not fully ambulatory.
Feel better vibes to Elmore, TCB, and Jeanne.
Am in a motel in Marshall, TX, which is further than I thought it would be. Driving in 103-degree heat is not fun.

That must be tough, Mike; being away from Kismet when he is not well. MY thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery.

I'm looking forward to seeing that one.

Why not? Did you like your classmates?
Vibe to you TCB...just because :)
But I am enjoy this full-length video of the original Pacific Overtures:

I just checked and the bank dropped the disputed $1,200 charge. And in two days. I can breathe a little easier.
Good evening. It's been quite a week. It's hotter than hell here and that makes me ill (literally) on top of that I've had a stomach and head ache for a couple days. Today Edith was arguing or making snide comments about everything I said. I have no idea why, but I did not have the patience for it and was quite annoyed. I stayed home and missed a party tonight. I wanted to go, but I'm just barely starting to feel better and it was an outside party.
MANY MANY VIBES TO DR ELMORE~~~~~~~~~
For the past week we have had crazy weather. Normally, in Western Washington, when we have thunder and lightening we get about half a dozen bolts of lightening followed by not really close thunder claps. Last evening they said we were having 500 lightening strikes an hour in Western Washington. And I believe I heard that down around where George lives, they had over 4 inches of rain in twenty four hours.
And next week it goes back into the 80's.
Well, it's theater time again! Tonight, my parents are coming to see the show and are using my comp tickets...so that means that they get the meal, the dessert, the wine, the show, the pre-show entertainment and the intermission entertainment all for FREE and everyone else has to pay $75 per person for the privilege. :D
Be back later!
