Well, I finished the off-the-Internet part of what I needed to do for Theater Artists Olympia, but now I need to do the rest on my new computer.  I'll check Costco's prices for the Office suite, as well as some other on-line places.  My sister's boyfriend would probably be willing to do some research for me.  He's very good at it. :)

T.O.D.


Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, involved with that case was weird.. The family, the police department, the attorneys on both sides all performed like rejects from Central Casting.

Having said all that, I think her brother killed her.

We had an early birthday celebration last night with some friends at the West Bank Cafe, which was even better than I'd remembered it being.  Tomorrow's actual birthday will probably be relatively quiet, since it's mid-week and there's a lot of stuff to do.

Strange case.....and I think it was an inside job.....father, mother, or brother.....they all acted guilty as hell...the ransom note written by the mother....the father going right to the body in a wine room in the basement that wasn't apparent to the naked eye....

I know that the DataLounge is NOT a good site.....but now and then when someone posts about this case or another child murder/abuse case....some poster comes on to say something and signs it Mrs. Patsy Ramsey, Formerly of Boulder, CO.  It does make me laugh.

After a nice day in Barcelona with friends I am back on the ship sampling 2 different single malt scotches deciding which I prefer.  I asked for peanuts and we were given mixed nuts that contained Brazil nuts.  Brazil nuts are worse than hazel nuts for me.  I finally have peanuts, however,  they arrived too late as I am a bit tipsy.  I cannot decide which scotch I prefer so I keep sampling them ;D

Back from the vet with our Poe, who was put through the wringer this morning. 

He's resting now but we'll be keeping an eye on him through the day because he's recovering from not only the "excitement" of the carrier and the car and the place and the handling, but also sedation which was the only way they could do the bloodwork and finish checking him out more thoroughly.

We'll have results tomorrow or Wednesday, but we already found a shocking degree of dental disease which will necessitate some more extractions (he's had a number of them over the years).  Poor guy.  These cats really know how to hide stuff from us.

I didn't follow the case closely at the time, so the little I remember about it is from stories I read or saw on TV well after the fact.  I agree with those who believe SOMEBODY in that family, or someone very close to them, has blood on their hands. 

I also am one who is fairly horrified at the kind of life they put the girl through in the first place.  That stuff just reeks of obscenity to me.  So I am not predisposed in a kind way toward the parents from the get go.

Lately, I wake up after sleeping 6 - 6-1/2 hours.  No matter how much I try to go back to sleep, my mind won't let me.

Yet, once I'm up, I'm sluggish for a while.

Here I sit in my office.  If I were to close my eyes for three minutes, I'd sleep soundly until a noise awakened me.

Lately, I wake up after sleeping 6 - 6-1/2 hours.  No matter how much I try to go back to sleep, my mind won't let me.

Yet, once I'm up, I'm sluggish for a while.

Here I sit in my office.  If I were to close my eyes for three minutes, I'd sleep soundly until a noise awakened me.

Welcome to the world of insomnia. I often wake up at 3:30 or 4:30 and simply can't go back to sleep. Enough sleep to keep me awake, but not enough sleep to feel good the next day. If I haven't sleep much I find that I need to eat more, I need the extra fuel.

DR Ron Pulliam, that sock aid is amazing! It has made my life so much easier.  Thanks for pointing it out to me.

Refresh my memory about this "sock aid", please.  I have no recollection.

It was Michael Shayne who recommended the gadget, not you!  I'm sorry.

Well, then, you are most welcome.  And thanks for reassuring me I'm not losing my mind altogether!

:)


;D

Lately, I wake up after sleeping 6 - 6-1/2 hours.  No matter how much I try to go back to sleep, my mind won't let me.

Yet, once I'm up, I'm sluggish for a while.

Here I sit in my office.  If I were to close my eyes for three minutes, I'd sleep soundly until a noise awakened me.

Welcome to the world of insomnia. I often wake up at 3:30 or 4:30 and simply can't go back to sleep. Enough sleep to keep me awake, but not enough sleep to feel good the next day. If I haven't sleep much I find that I need to eat more, I need the extra fuel.

I have been awake since 4:30 am.  This morning we plan to go to the gym early before taking the cruise shuttle to Valencia, Spain.

Watching an odd but very good video of Othello that emphasizes the comedy of the piece, which makes the violence all the more upsetting.

It's also oddly modern day and some period in the past at the same time. It's from the Royal Shakespeare Company.

I think it's also unabridged, as it runs 3 hours. I can't finish it all tonight.

This morning, my phone had a systems update.  It went well enough, but for some damned reason, an NFL app was very rudely installed on my phone!  WTF?  I was able to disable it, but it otherwise can't be deleted.  WHY??

Post by: George on May 01, 2017, 10:22:23 PM
I came home and turned on my tablet.  IT had a systems update, too.  Fortunately, no NFL app (or any other unwanted app) was installed on it.

And fortunately, I found the installation disc to the Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 edition that I bought in 2009!  It included three users, and I still had one left.  It installed very easily and it actually works on my Windows 10 computer!  Hoo and Ray!
