Well, last night's "Laughing Stock" performance went well...for the most part.  The audience wasn't too responsive during the show but afterward we got pretty good applause.  No standing "O" yet, but it really isn't the kind of show that would get one.

I will walk over to Holy Trinity and pray for my parents and those I've loved who are dead, buy my lottery tickers for the weekend, and putter about here.  I gt two lovely emails from Steve Margoshes telling me the Budapest recording sessions went really well, and I'm very happy to have been of help with that Suck Dynasty Finale.

I'm finding TurboTax's supposed improvements more confusing this year that ever before.   Even just getting back into a return after having printed out a draft to look over seems to require guesswork as to what was on the mind of the diabolical programmer.  :)

when do you need to vacate and where are you headed?

Thank you.

We will vacate within 30 days of closing, which will be by or before April 24th.

We still don't know where we are going.  The odds are we will rent a little 1 furnished apartment while we search.  Where that apartment will be depends if we can find something local or not.

Fully concur on BK's assessment of "First Men in the Moon".   Not a bad film, but Lionel Jefferies should never have had a leading role.  He's way too much to take in anything other than a supporting role.

He rather stepped on my nerves in the early going and never let up.  Spoiled the film for me.

I was in Costco just an hour ago.

But all I did was browse a few things and walk out empty-handed.

Empty-handed is not a nice condition to be in when exiting a Costco.  But it happens sometimes.  Who can explain it?  Who can tell you why?

Nope.  I do enjoy cruising the samples, but this was at an off-hour and I was just checking to see if they carried a few things.

On more than one occasion I've eaten the equivalent of an entire lunch by sampling at Costco, then going down the road to Stew Leonard's for my second course.

Every year Keith says we are not going to renew our membership and then he remembers something he wants from there.  There have been items we can't find in our local market.  For a single person, ask a friend to take you along and take lots of cash with you.  One trip might last you a year if you stock up on certain items.  One of the problems of Costco is that so many items are just too big if you don't have a family.  We got our tv there.

I got my tires at Costco and they had a really good price.  They actually have sales at various times during the year, so maybe you could time it right.  I will have to get some new tires fairly soon.

I'm sure we will need to stock up on items once we move into our new home, wherever that may be.

I think my first purchase when this store opened was my first ever PC, an HP 386 with a 40MB hard drive and color (!) VGA monitor, for something like $800 (not sure, but that's the figure that pops into my head) which was a bargain then.

I've bought tons of things there over the years.  The membership fee easily pays for itself, almost regardless of what I buy in a particular year.

Costco is great for waters, sodas, various types of catered items, and some stuff that one simply doesn't mind having huge quantities of.

I buy large things of Airborne there.  They're the equivalent of four of the ten-dollar smaller containers at Gelson's - and they cost $16 or something, so really good value for money there.

I am not a member of Costco because I don't buy much and haven't much room to stock up. But, that said, they have excellent prices on eyeglasses, both frames and lenses. It would be worth it to me to join just for that, when the time comes. They don't have an optical department in all stores, but there's one at the Culver City store, and that's where I'd shop.

I don't think I could remember all I've bought at Costco, but off the top of my head (and keep in mind this is over a span of 22 years):

The aforementioned PC
At least one laptop
One really good printer
One or two external hard drives
Flat-screen TV
A couple of cordless phone sets for the house
One or two coffeemakers
Countless DVDs and Blu-rays
Some clothing items
Cat litter -- tons and tons of it
And lots of the type of things BK mentioned.  Lots.  Many lots.

I know I'm forgetting a thousand things.

After Costco, I stopped in at my one (count 'em) local record store to browse around.  Hadn't been in there in months.  And that's where I left a few bucks today.  (Not too many.)  I bought two LPs:  the original cast recording of GREENWILLOW and the original soundtrack of Preminger's THE CARDINAL by Moross.  I'll be listening to that in a few minutes.

Funny---all the talk about Costco.   I was thinking of joining. I'm wondering if it's worth it for a single person.  I think I might need new tires and was told they have great prices on them.

Every year Keith says we are not going to renew our membership and then he remembers something he wants from there.  There have been items we can't find in our local market.  For a single person, ask a friend to take you along and take lots of cash with you.  One trip might last you a year if you stock up on certain items.  One of the problems of Costco is that so many items are just too big if you don't have a family.  We got our tv there.

In no particular order, I get toilet paper, Kleenex, paper towels, blank DVDs and CDs, diet Pepsi, candy bars (for Theater Artists Olympia's concessions)...things like that. :)

Congratulations Jane


when do you need to vacate and where are you headed?

Thank you.

We will vacate within 30 days of closing, which will be by or before April 24th.

We still don't know where we are going.  The odds are we will rent a little 1 furnished apartment while we search.  Where that apartment will be depends if we can find something local or not.

In ny you normally give vacant possession on the day of closing and generally it takes 60 to 90 days from signing of contract until closing. It's sounds as. If things work much differently in Oregon

They like supporting Costco, they know where what they want it, they have an executive membership that gives them money back on what they spend, they were there for the pharmacy or other department....oh so many reasons. ;D

I was in Costco just an hour ago.

But all I did was browse a few things and walk out empty-handed.

Empty-handed is not a nice condition to be in when exiting a Costco.  But it happens sometimes.  Who can explain it?  Who can tell you why?

Why was this Costco shopping trip different from all other Costco shopping trips?

I'm glad Nicky is home. Joshie is always so glad to see me when I get back.

You can, of course, use a debit card, if you wish.

It was announced last month (I think) that Costco had not renewed its contract with American Express and was going to go with Visa credit.

I have both a Visa debit card and a Visa credit card.
