Well, you've read the notes, the notes wore yellow rubber galoshes, and now it is time for you to post until the yellow rubber galoshes-wearing cows come home.

Good morning, all!  After a rather unsettling dream that seemed a mashup of JURASSIC PARK and CLOVERDALE, I was wide awake around 4:45 this morning. After an hour, I decided to get out of bed and prepare for the day.

From yesterday

DR Ginny

I have spent the afternoon "finishing the hat" - my 4th red baby hat, to be exact.  They are for a heart health awareness project at Christ Hospital in Cincinnati:

Finishing a hat...
Starting on a hat...
Finishing a hat...
Look I made a hat...
Where there never was a hat.

Good morning, all.

Well, I was progressing through this cold just fine until last night when I suddenly felt this tell-tale sensation in my ear.  Sure enough, within ten minutes I knew I had an ear infection.  Just like that.  So I have no choice but to call for a doctor's appointment and get antibiotics.  Or whatever they give for ear infections these days.  Last one I had was twenty years ago.

Okay, they'll see me at 10:15.  I wonder what this will do to my wallet.  I'm officially in Medicare now but I haven't yet gotten my supplemental insurance for prescriptions and whatnot, so I'm probably in for some sticker shock at the pharmacy.

On Wednesday night I watched a movie titled EDGE OF ETERNITY directed by Donald Siegel....with Cornel Wilde and Victoria Shaw and Mickey Shaugnessy....

I had never even heard of this 1959 film.....it was filmed on location in Kingman, Arizona, in Mohave County.  There was a lot of filming at the Grand Canyon with airplanes and helicopters....it was very exciting in color and CinemaScope.  They also used a "dancing bucket" across the canyon for the exciting ending....  Special credit was given to U.S. Guano who owned the equipment.

I saw it on Encore Retro channel, but it might be available elsewhere. 

Shaw drives a yellow 1958 Thunderbird convertible and wears some great clothes, her brother drives a 1958 Edsel station wagon, and her father drives a 1958 Lincoln, although we only see it parked in the carport.

I am not looking for a come-back in yellow galoshes. What I'm looking for is those clearish plastic things that you wore over your shoes on rainy days, and they only just covered your shoes. They didn't go as high up your leg as a boot, like galoshes do. So, they weren't nearly as ugly as yellow galoshes. They were meant more for grown-ups because grown-ups would never want to be seen in those silly yellow galoshes that their children wore. And they fastened with a loop on one side that you pulled over to the other side and slid over a button. I would love to have a pair of those now. Where I work, the gutters get so flooded when it rains that I can't possibly leap from the street to the sidewalk without drenching one foot in a puddle. Does anyone here remember those clearish plastic things you wore over your shoes? I don't even know what they were called. I've tried a few times to see if I can still buy a pair, but I can't find them online. If anyone knows where I can still buy those, please do tell.

Not sure what we'll be watching this weekend.  I shut down my Netflix account because they are having problems with the post office.  Since the first of the year, discs are taking an extras day or two in the mail, so that cuts the number of discs you can get in a month by between a third and a half.

Maybe I'll finally try Redbox.

Got the last of the Strauss Festival tonight with Heldenleben on the program, plus Itzak Perlman on Sunday. Perlman sold out his show, so he added 65 or so seats on stage with him.

I doubt I'll get to any DVDs, but I am listening to some Cole Porter from the 1920s as well as Stephen King's Revival, which is fun, but the middle has begun to sag a little.

Today, I became a Redbox customer for the first time (I had a coupon for a free rental.)

Very simple process.  I no longer have to depend on the mail for my next Netflix, and I can just rent the movies that actually interest me, rather than signing up for one month.  Netflix is going to have to fix their problem with the U.S. Mail or their DVD/Blu-ray business is going to disappear very fast.

So, I rented A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES with Liam Neeson.  I understand it's pretty good.

Very simple process.  I no longer have to depend on the mail for my next Netflix, and I can just rent the movies that actually interest me, rather than signing up for one month.  Netflix is going to have to fix their problem with the U.S. Mail or their DVD/Blu-ray business is going to disappear very fast.

So, I rented A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES with Liam Neeson.  I understand it's pretty good.



It is very good and convenient for first run films.  You still need Netflix for anything older and for all the wonderful PBS shows.

I am not looking for a come-back in yellow galoshes. What I'm looking for is those clearish plastic things that you wore over your shoes on rainy days, and they only just covered your shoes. They didn't go as high up your leg as a boot, like galoshes do. So, they weren't nearly as ugly as yellow galoshes. They were meant more for grown-ups because grown-ups would never want to be seen in those silly yellow galoshes that their children wore. And they fastened with a loop on one side that you pulled over to the other side and slid over a button. I would love to have a pair of those now. Where I work, the gutters get so flooded when it rains that I can't possibly leap from the street to the sidewalk without drenching one foot in a puddle. Does anyone here remember those clearish plastic things you wore over your shoes? I don't even know what they were called. I've tried a few times to see if I can still buy a pair, but I can't find them online. If anyone knows where I can still buy those, please do tell.


Amy, I  know exactly what you are talking about.  My mother wouldn't wear anything but those.  I haven't seen them in twenty years, but then I haven't been looking.

Well, you've read the notes, the notes wore yellow rubber galoshes, and now it is time for you to post until the yellow rubber galoshes-wearing cows come home.


I never had yellow galoshes.  I believe mine were red.  (Second hand probably.)  I did have a yellow slicker, like every other child in my kindergarten class.  And when it rains, like it is raining today; I can still smell that certain smell that comes from wet vinyl in a small enclosed room.

I'm guessing it is weather related.  We are lucky to have power.

The news reported a landslide near us.  I think it would have been beneficial to say how far up the road it is and not just that it is near the lake.  I certainly isn't near our part of the lake, that we were very pleased to see has filled up drastically.  We had never seen the lake water so low.

North Korea's doing, no doubt.

I cannot recall ever having galoshes.  I have often thought the clear ones to go over shoes made more sense.

I asked Keith and he recalls having black ones.  Either I had them and don't remember or my mother didn't think I really needed them in So. California since she grew up in England.

From DR TCB:
Quote
Is everyone familiar with those bed pillows, the ones with the armrests.  Well, I have had several over the years,  but I always hoped they would be very comfortable, but they never were.  So, I finally bought one last year from Hammacher and  Schlemmer.  And surprise surprise, it is wonderful.  It has heat and vibration, and a cup holder, and a reading light.  It is the greatest!

Shhhh, don't tell Keith, he will want one.


They make great gifts!

Also did anybody else watch and love the CBS show Unforgettable (that CBS annoyingly cancelled after a cliffhanger)?

I loved that show. It looks very likely that A&E will be picking up the next season. I am super happy about this. I loved this show, especially with the changes they made in the last season.

I had a really strange week.  I was very upset about the thing at work.  It was made very clear to me that there would be not deal in a case that I thought had been worked out a couple months ago. I really felt like I got sandbagged by someone who I've known for 20 years.    It would be more of a mess if my client and I didn't agree that she should fight this. This is a winnable case, so maybe it's best the deal went away.  After talking to my client this afternoon I'm getting excited about trying the case.  It's very high profile locally and will probably go to trial this summer.
