Quote from Goerge [sic ;)]:
Did you (or anyone) happen to notice that when Jeff Goldblum was talking with someone, he would frequently glance away from the person's face at what looked to me to be a specific point?? All I could think about during most of the episode was that he's using cue cards!
Anyone who knows personally feel free to argue that I am incorrect, but I happen to "know" that Jeff Goldblum does nothing of the sort, and that the eye movements come from a rare style of acting called "thinking while acting". He is one of the few actors who I can see connecting thoughts and seemingly comes up with the lines as he says them, although he does indeed learn his lines.
You should not drive a car, operate heavy machinery, or do other possibly dangerous activities while taking OxyContin.
I got a DVR from Comcast and that's pretty much what I've been using almost exclusively. I do have a VCR hooked up to it so that I can tape things that I want to keep...and there have been a few things. Now, all I have to do is get a DVD burner that I can hook up to the DVR and then I won't need the VCRs anymore!
And where in tarnation IS everyone?

Actual crack in a Northwest DC -9 window frame! Fliers beware of the sub standard maintenance on the airplanes that you fly on. This is an actual crack that was found in the window frame on a DC-9. I'll definitely think twice before flying Northwest ..
That was gross, DR DerBrucer.
Let's see if I understand
How the world works lately...
If a man cuts his finger off
while slicing salami at work,
he blames the restaurant.
If you smoke three packs a day for 40 years and die of Lung cancer, your family blames the tobacco company.
If your neighbor crashes into a tree while driving home drunk, he blames the bartender.
If your grandchildren are brats without manners, you blame television.
If your friend is shot by a deranged madman, you blame the gun manufacturer.
And if a crazed person breaks into the cockpit, tries to kill the pilot at 35,000 feet and the passengers kill him instead, the mother of the crazed deceased blames the airline.
I must have lived too long to understand the world as it is anymore.
So, if I die while my old, wrinkled ass is parked in front of this computer, I want all of you to blame Bill Gates...okay
...DR Ginny you must cease and desist with this talk (posting) of pies -- every time you do, I can't get pie and whipped cream out of my mind...and there is no House of Pies here for me to make a run to...

I went to website and had the sound turned on but I didn't hear anything. :-\
Did you wait until all the text and cute art loaded?

I thought I did...I'll try again.
Yikes---I slept too late! This is what happened when we've been sleep deprived all week.
Now I must drop my car off to get a new wheel (because of the idiot who dropped a tree in the middle of I-285) go into a house-cleaning frenzy and cook a dish of some sort. I think I'll make a dip that tastes like buffalo wings---it includes chicken, bleu cheese dressing, cream cheese and hot sauce. Not healthy but yummy.

Well, then post the whole photo!
Great new avatar, DR George! And how nice to see the smiling faces of DR FJL and Skip, too.
His bones were doing odd things and required surgery - see yesterday's posts from me to get that scoop - the elbows may or may not require more surgery, as he grows up...
Recipe please!!!!
Well...I hope Fred doesn't mind but since you asked:

I like the new avatar very much, DR George. And thanks for the other pics, too.
Very nice new picture George!
I like the name Zoloft, but I'm not sure it produces the effects I'm looking for. I think the closest is Valium, but Valium seems so yesterday. I'm looking for today's Valium - the hip thing with the rich crowd, whether kids or adults to zone them out and treat depression. Prozac is probably what I'll end up using (not personally - for the book).I'm sure you're not really looking for an anti-depressant, esteemed BK. They usually take several weeks to take effect, and are not prescribed to make people "zone out." The idea is to give the patient emotional balance, to reduce the mood swings, not to remove the actual emotions nor to remove them from reality. (Trust me, I'm on cytalopram, I've got personal experience here.)
Okay - so here's the scoop:Say huh? I've yet to meet a calm 12-year-old. They don't exist.
As I write, Jane and Keith and Mr. Sherlock Puppyboy Lassner are driving south from Portland, to reach the Ashland Homeland by early evening, i'm guessing.
...Great news: Doc said they won't have to crate him all that time - if he can be calm and act like a 12-year-old, he can hang with the peeps....
How can we possibly still be on page five.I believe we are on page six!

Congratulations on your handsome new picture DR George. Me likey mucho better than your "hat" one.
DR George, I prefer the new avatar; the old may be fine for Halloween but it always weirded me out.
BTW, is George such a celebrity that Fred and Skip had to have passes to visit him?

Um, George, last time you posted those photos, didn't you send me a note apologizing profusely for posting them, since we had asked you to only post them only if we came out Ok in them?
I said it was OK since you had already posted them and I didn't wnat you to feel guilty, but now you're posting them again???
SEATTLE, Washington (AP) -- High-security driver's licenses aimed at letting U.S. citizens return from Canada without a passport could be adopted elsewhere if Washington state's experiment works, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Friday.
The pilot project, signed into law by Gov. Chris Gregoire and formally approved by Chertoff on Friday, calls for Washington to begin issuing new "enhanced" driver's licenses in January.
They will look much like conventional driver's licenses, but will include proof of citizenship and other information that can be easily scanned at the border.
Radio frequency ID chips and other advanced security features also would make the enhanced licenses less vulnerable to forgery. At about $40, they also would be less expensive than a $97 passport.
Hopefully, I'll have learned my lesson. ::)
;D
Oh, some more application of discipline might be warranted :D

And nice new avatar from DR GEORGE!!
Well, if you guys think they're OK...

Maine Man Swears Mouse Stole His Dentures
WATERVILLE, Maine (March 24) - Never underestimate a mouse's determination. There's a mouse in Bill Exner's house that he says he has captured three times. Each time, the mouse escaped, and the last time the rodent made off with his lower dentures.
Exner, 68, said he and his wife Shirley scoured his bedroom after the dentures disappeared from his night stand.
"We moved the bed, moved the dressers and the night stand and tore the closet apart," he said. "I said, 'I knew that little stinker stole my teeth' - I just knew it."
They found a small opening in a wall where they suspected the mouse was coming and going, and their daughter's fiance, Eric Holt, stepped in to help.
"He brought a crowbar and hammer and he sawed off a section of wood and pulled up the molding and everything," Exner said. "It was quite a job."
They retrieved the dentures, and Holt suggested his future father-in-law boil them in peroxide and whatever else he could find for to disinfect it.
...
You and Skip look swell...now about the company you keep :-X

My friend Matthew and I went to see BOY CULTURE. I had read the book about 10 years ago and remembered nothing of the plot. The movie was sweet, funny, and moving.
The girls have been here for a couple of hours. I must say, this is getting to become a rather regular occurrence. After going for a walk, playing with old toys I brought out of the shed, playing "You Can't Catch Me" (DS is very good at this game), drawing, filling the birdfeeders, playdough, then they all settled down to watch "Arthur."

bk - Valium is still in "active use". It may not be "hip", but it's still prevalent. And since there's not so much of a stigma attached to it - if there ever was one - there's no shame taking a Valium for some people.
The vet suggested valium for my ancient cat to increase his appetite, but I discovered that he would eat chicken flavored baby food so I never went the valium route.;D
One time I was checking out at the grocery store, and the clerk asked "How old da baby?"
She was kind of shocked when I said "20".
What was the controversial TV show where they said that PMS stands for Pommel Men's Scrotums?
Married With Children - Pilot Episode
der Brucer
Note: One hits ones scrotum on a pommel, one pummels ones adversary on the scrotum; of course a strong gymnast might pick up a horse and pummel a scrotum with a pommel.
EIGHT MEN OUT (I spent four days working on that movie and can be sort of seen in it)
Yes, that's it - Shut Up with Stacy London
And one for scrotums
Or is it scrota?
Yes!
Inflected Form(s): plural scrota or scrotums
... good advice for how to deal with dressing different body types.
*** A POST FOR DR "CUTIE-PIE" MIKE BARNUM ***
Yes, we do have a dinner date in Hollywood.....what do you think, that I'm a chincy bassa ?? :o
But it has to be at the start of your trip. If you can keep Tuesday evening, the 24th, free, then it can be dinner at Musso & Frank . And maybe we could lure the Grande Mensch himself into joining us. Platters of shrimp cocktail shrimp will be brought out, along with trays of crudites and crusty bread and butter. And then, you should experience the "pounded steak with country gravy." Oh, so yummy.

2 people asked me for the recipe. It was very easy---it took 15 minutes to make and 20 to cook. Easy!
Wow, you're good. We've never managed to take good "no see um" pictures.
Der Brucer, don't think I'll be going to the footbridge. We had lunch again Friday, no I didn't mention it. We'll see, but the more time I spend with him, the less I want to spend time with him...not a good sign

Cilla, I posted it earlier but here it is again for the sake of convenience:
Chicken Wing Dip
1 pkg of cream cheese (regular, not light)
½ jar of chunky bleu cheese dressing
½ bottle of Frank’s Hot Wing Sauce
1 rotisserie chicken (just use the white meat, both breasts and shred fairly thin)
Soften the cream cheese (I did it in the microwave), mix it with the dressing and the sauce, then just add the shredded chicken. Sprinkle a little cheese (cheddar is good) on top and bake it at 350 for about 20 minutes.
(I served it with bagel chips.)
Well, there's more than one crow in field (or whatever they say in Ioway).

I had very strange dreams last night about being in New York and trying to get to my cruise ship before it left port, but the first cab turned into a bus going to Cincinnati and when I got off the bus and got in a real cab he didn't know where the port was
Was there a storm going on?
Before that the dream was even stranger. I was in a hotel room full of clothes
Interesting you ask, it was raining very hard at the time. This was a fall back to sleep after the rain woke me up dream
Sweatshirts?
This is not a dream!
Well, they say any old port in a storm...;D
I went to all that work and never did get a cruise out of it
Such a great pic of Ben!I agree...
It's the bus to Cincinnati that made me laugh

The dinner party was wonderful. 5 couples dining in the midst of a boxwood parterre planted in the 1800's. We dined under the arbor, which was covered in muscadine grape vines. Our hostess hasn't found any good use for the grapes yet.
Everyone loved the chicken dip and polished it off quickly.
Mmmm...old port and good dark chocolate!
I forgot to ask what you serve with the dip.... crackers, bread, chips, fish?
I don't remember that one, what was it about....other than something for Joey
