And the word of the day is: NOETIC!
Anthony will be returning today.
I also have a presentation at 11:30 for the Board of Directors so I'm sitting at my desk in a shirt and tie.
If only.......
Off to work. Oh well.
Today marks the birthdays of both Shirley MacLaine and Barbra Streisand. (Shirley is a few years older.)
My favorite Guy Haines song is "What Could You Lose?" which he does much better than a different singer (who will go nameless) on another bk-produced album.
Last night I watched the 1934 pre-code film SEARCH FOR BEAUTY...Lots of flesh -- male and female...including a locker room scene in which several completely bare male behinds were in view....I had to watch the scene several times in order to make sure that what I was seeing was for real.
No one took the quiz?
DR Ginny I have begun reading THE HEARTS OF HORSES. :)
***FEEL BETTER VIBES***for DR Jane and for DR Jeanne's DF&H#2!!!!!
And isn't it funny, did you have any idea that elephants were indigenous to Denmark?
I would like a quiet day today, without the drama of yesterday.

DR JRand, I hope you remembered to record the Shirley MaClaine marathon on TCM this afternoon (which includes TWO FOR THE SEESAW.)

I did. I actually came up with Dominican Republic and orangutan. :)
We are of many minds here at HHW.

And that's just DAW.
Just spent forty minutes on the phone with Apple Care dealing with some odd problems that happened out of the blue an hour ago. For example, suddenly I couldn't launch iTunes, iPhoto, or Address Book - got an error message each time. Couldn't launch system preferences or software update. Mail was working fine. I got a guy from India and told him not to waste my time and to get me to a product specialist in the US. While I was on hold for that to happen, I restarted the computer - launched Word and the printer, but it took forever with that damned spinning wheel. Got a product specialist and told him what was going on. He had me shut off the computer and launch it in "safe" mode, which I did. He then talked me through several steps and by the end of it we restarted in normal mode and voila, everything was working fine.
DR MattH - Be sure to wave to my friend - and former "Grease: YTOTIW" semi-finalist - Nick Dalton when you see Legally Blonde tonight. ;)
DR Ginny I have begun reading THE HEARTS OF HORSES. :)
DR Jane - hope you like it! I now want to read Molly Gloss' other novels, but I'm totally engrossed in The Red Leather Diary at the moment.

Headache-be-gone vibes to Jane. I hope your hike clears your head (your rash, too).
I was SO mad when I settled in to eat lunch. I was going to watch KROD MANDOON from last night, but for some reason, the DVR recorded a SOUTH PARK episode. Either I set it wrong, or Comedy Central ran the show in a different time period from that listed in the guide. (I recorded an early morning replay rather than the 10 p.m. show.)
I completed my afternoon of viewing by skimming through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Nothing of interest, of course, but the previews for next week suggest Zoey is going to be suggesting something (possibly sex) with Luke to make her a legitimate Grimaldi. Oh, brother!

I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!
Not for KROD MANDOON, of course, but the general idea.
;)
What the hell! I just got my new lease from the landlord. If I sign a 1-year lease, my rent is raised $45 a month, but if I sign a 2-year, my rent goes up $80.00! What the goddam hell?

Who is Antonio Garcia? And why does he have the same Social Security number as my DS?
Our friend Paul Jackel (who worked with bk on the LAST STARFIGHTER NYMF 2006 reading) is also in LEGALLY BLONDE, playing Elle's father.
My quiz results are Delaware and elephant. Yeah, so?
...
Paul played the Rylan leader Enduran.
Keith just asked me if I wanted any cheese & before I could respond Sherlock jumped up and went over to the area rug in the kitchen to wait for his cheese. ;D
Jane, I'm glad your headache cleared. I often find that when I'm feeling a bit under the weather that a walk helps. I don't know if it's just the fresh air that does it or if there's some offending pollen or other substance near me, but it does seem to help. Remarkably sometimes.
Laura, pls keep us posted on the Social Security number duplication--how you discovered it and what actions you are taking. Very scary.
I'm prone to rashes of unknown causes & have tried many different prescription creams & ointments & well as natural products. In the past, except for rashes caused by poison plants, I found over the counter Cortizone-10 works the best. I have no idea why. Just a thought if the meds don't work.

Sorry, but Delaware remains a state, not a country...
;)
Laura, was he still able to get the power turned on?
Update: Cody seems to be improving, but he's not out of the woods yet.
We should know more tomorrow.

I shall now be on my way to the Ahmanson Theater, after which I shall return. I've been invited for a drink with the managing director at intermission in the exclusive Ahmanson VIP lounge.
He went to the power company to get the power turned on, and when they ran a credit check he was informed that someone else was using his SS number. It is up to him to do any and all investigative work, according to the SS office.

I took the quiz and got an antelope in Canada
Someone could have just made up a social security number and it happens to be his. I would be concerned about this and I don't understand why Social Security won't do anything about it.
I gather DN David is doing well?
HEALING VIBES & UPCOMING SURGERY VIBES!!!

Counterfeit SS cards are a big business out here. Employers are obligated to check for SS numbers; they are not obligated to be sure said numbers are legit.

DR Jane - you're right, my mom had "just" skin cancer and, yes, they got it all. Her face looks great - you can tell that this dermatologist does a lot of cosmetic surgery, too.

(anything for a celebration ;))
They have always known he'd need a heart valve replacement sometime in his life, but that doesn't make it any less scary.
...
I also dn't understand why, for a two year lease I should pay rent for two years at $9900 a year when for a one-year lease I'd only be paying next year $9300! Shouldn't the damned 2-year lease be the money saver?
