Well, you've read the notes, the notes felt sixty-three but looked younger than springtime, and now it is time for you to post until the younger than springtime cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: SESQUIPEDALITY!
Smoke on your pipe and put that in.
-
A Very Happiest of Birthdays to Our Very Own BK!! ;D
-
Happy Bruce Day!
-
HAPPY NATAL DAY, DEAR BK!
-
Happy day of your birth, dear Bruce! ( I am so glad the Hill Sisters went with "Happy Birthday" instead of "Day of your Birth")
-
Happy Birthday to MR BK who is now THREE years older than I am, and yesterday he was just TWO years older. I will catch up again in August.
-
Meeting vibes for DR JOSE.
Enjoyed reading about your BROADWAY DAY yesterday!
-
DR MBARNUM - did you get your birthday package?
-
Happy Birthday, BK!!!!!
-
And the word of the day is: SESQUIPEDALITY!
Smoke on your pipe and put that in.
And The Song Of The Day Is: SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS
-
BK-
HAVE A HAP HAP SLAP-HAPPY SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS
SESQUIPEDALITY BIRTHDAY
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
In a half hour I will leave for another day of gift bag packing.
I actually slept until 6:45 this morning.
-
Happy natal day, bk! Many happy returns, etc. etc.
-
That is a perfect song of the day DR ARNOLDMBROCKMAN
-
I have mailed MR BK's package via Priority Mail.....which means I guess.....Friday.....or so.
-
Good morning, all! Has anyone tried to order Godiva Chocolates online to multiple addresses? What a cockamamie system! It would put anyone out of a holiday mood!
Otherwise, I'm fine. I have another day of Toyland edits, which I look forward to, and a trip to the post office to pick up JoAnn's Christmas gift since the jerk postal delivewry guy didn't leave it yesterday. All summer I was really down on this editing job - I still think the man in charge who refuses to take charge is a jerk - and I was ready to walk out, but the past week has been a lot of fun.
I guess that's all my news so far this morning, except for the next post.
-
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday, BK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Happy, happy, BK!
-
Good morning, all! Has anyone tried to order Godiva Chocolates online to multiple addresses? What a cockamamie system! It would put anyone out of a holiday mood!
I send coal instead.
-
A very happy birthday to bk! Wish we were still in LA so we could celebrate with you! We still have the invitation to your birthday party on our refridgerator!
-
Wednesday morning greetings! In case you couldn't tell, I was exhausted last night after my 2 meetings in Dayton. I am glad to have an at home day today.
-
I'm still immersed in the Toddlers show...worked a double last night. I'm getting tickets to Cirque du Soleil for some family members because I have no time to shop!
-
Happiest of birthdays to BK!
-
I think 63 is a very nice number, numerically speaking!
-
We watched KNIGHT AND DAY last night.
It's very silly and too long, but we did enjoy it.
-
More Happy Birthday wishes for BK!
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BK!!!!!
-
HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS, DEAR BK. WISH WE WERE THERE TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU IN PERSON!
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And it's Wednesday.
But I'm guessing you already knew that.

Stupid weatherman statement of the day "How long is this cool weather going to stick around? Tune in at 10:00.
Hello....it's December...it will be cool until.....April or May
One of our local weather people did a five minute segment yesterday on "Why Is It Cold?"

Given the Dumbing Down Of America, I suppose some people actually make no connection between this current weather situation and sinilar events occurring about every 365 days.
-
I pretty much have everything done that needs to be done decorating-wise around the house, so I think I will venture out into the mysteriously cold weather and do some Christmas shopping. Whether I wind up shopping for gifts or for myself is unknowable at this point.

Shopping vibes for DR DtM.

Even though I prefer to check my phone for phone numbers (or hit redial) I still like to know people's numbers by heart. I think you should obviously keep important numbers in more than one place in case you lose your phone! Glad the helper was alright.
-
Happy Birthday to BK! Hope you have a great day! You and DR Jane are practically twins!
-
DR MBARNUM - did you get your birthday package?
DR JRand, a package arrived for me, but is locked up in the mailroom. The one thing about my apartment complex is that I can only retrieve my packages when the manager is around...and that is from 8am to 5pm. She is usually not in her office by the time I arrive home :(
-
A very, very, very (that is 3 verys) happy birthday to Mr. BK! I hope it is a wonderful day of birth celebration for you Bruce!!!

I always seem to find more stuff for me than for others when I shop. Very dangerous. Somehow I manage to get presents for everyone, but I end up with more stuff for me. I guess I just shop at stores I like.
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BK !!!!!!!
-
Happy Birthday, bk. We love you!!!

Bruce have a great year!!! Sixty three sounds better than sixty two, thanks for making me feel young ;)

Thank you DR FJL.

I always thought it was fun having our birthdays so close together, and I can never forget when Bruce's birthday is.

What if it is perishable? Do you have a neighbor who can collect the packages for you?

DR MBarnum - Hmm... That's some birthday card.

I wonder if in honor of bk's we should have another day of quotes from "The Music Man" for our very own Music Man...
Hmmm...
;)
-
Well, might as well get the obvious one out of the way...
"You watch your phraseology!"
-
"I always believe there's a band, kid."

I'm up after a lovelier than lovely night's sleep.

A heartfelt thanks for all the wonderful birthday wishes.

I just noticed I have 464 new e-mails - I imagine those are mostly from Facebook :)

Happy birthday, BK!

I have a big decision to make in a few minutes, to cut my bangs again or let them continue to grow out. Anyone want to vote?
-
What do YOU want to do, DR Jane?
-
Some of my Vera friends on FB had been raving about Leslie Sansone's walking DVDs, so I picked up 4 of them at the library yesterday. Just finished a 1-mile walk in the family room, plus warm-up and cool-down. Walking in place in the family room is even more boring than walking 'round and 'round the basement!
-
Is Leslie Sansone any relation to Tony Sansone, the famous American Bodybuilder?
-
I vote....cut them DR JANE.....they will always grow back!
-
I couldn't be any plainer if I 'as a Quaker on his day off.
-
My question for ASK BK day....do you own a phonograph?
-
Is Leslie Sansone any relation to Tony Sansone, the famous American Bodybuilder?
Dunno, DR JRand. She sure has an empire at www.walkathome.com (http://www.walkathome.com)

Jeffrey Tambor opposite Harvey Fierstein... Hmmm....
-
DR Jane - When you say "cut" do you mean "trim"? Or just cut them all off?
I've never understood just exactly how cutting your bangs off works? I mean, it part of the hair framing your face, right? So, you can't really cut that all off, right? I mean, if you go shorter, won't that make them stand out a little more? Whereas if you let them grow out, then they just blend in with the rest of the hair around your face? ???

In Jane's case, I think that she's wondering if she should cut her long hair to make bangs. If I remember correctly, her hair is all one length...I think.

-

Well, bangs are a big issue in "Little Town on the Prairie," which I'm reading right now. Ma calls bangs the "lunatic fringe," but Laura likes them.
I know that helps you a lot.

I hope no one was offended by that birthday card I posted for Bruce
I got a PM from someone who thought it was a mistake to post it. Those of you who have been around this here sight for awhile know that I have posted vintage birthday cards before...and of course you will have noticed that many vintage cards do play on stereotypes of all kinds (although I doubt that anyone holds the type of stereotype that is portrayed on this card as being even remotely true, today).
So please, nobody take offense and hopefully everyone knows I am not some sort of racist or misogynist or anything, I just love the graphics on vintage birthday cards and find them charming and funny, a well as a reflection of the times() in which they were created.
I am also not anti-politically correct. I think PC has a place in helping people be more respectful of each other, although at times (I think) some go overboard. I would personally never set out to disrespect any culture, race, or religion.
That said, BK, if you want me change the card to something else, I certainly will (or if others here find it offensive)

DR Jose some women don't have bangs. So DR Jane wants to know whether to get some (and then if she wants her hair one length it will take forever for them to grow out.
-
When I get a haircut i usually have my bangs cut longish, so I don't usually have any traditional bangs.
-
I just got Glory Crampton's recording "Unusal Way" and I find that John Yap has credited my orchestration for "My Man," which belongs to Caroline O'Connor, to Chrisotpher Denny!
-
And to prove that I am culturally sensitive I show you this advertisement for a wonderful Filipino film which is sort of a remake of the Japanese film RODAN.
DR Jose, I don't know why you don't watch more Filipino movies like this....they are an important part of your heritage.

I was not offended, certainly. It's vintage and I know you well enough to know that that's why you posted it. I would hope others here would know that, too.
-
Re the Yap solo recordings - since the majority of them require singers to sing to existing orchestrations and arrangements I just have to ask if singers are so hungry to do a solo album that they'll do something that impersonal. We took and take pride in crafting ORIGINAL albums to the singer - I could just as easily let people sing to other singers' tracks (I have all the solo albums' instrumental mixes on DAT) but I wouldn't do it.
-
Back from the long jog (four miles), so I can still do it. I won't say it was a breeze but I did it nonetheless. It's a gorgeously gorgeous day out.
-
What do YOU want to do, DR Jane?
I don't know so I did nothing. I went to get red put in my hair for something different. Knowing me my hairdresser was too cautious so I am returning next week, at no charge, for the additional red. I may hate it but I'm truly bored & want something different for a few months.
-
I vote....cut them DR JANE.....they will always grow back!
LOL-true. I've had them about a year now & they are at a good non bang length. I'll decide next week, depending on how the color looks.

Cut as in trim as they are part way down my nose. If they were completely grown out I would say should I get bangs or cut bangs vs cut my bangs off or short ;) In England they call them a fringe which fits your description of bangs.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRUCE!!!
May you have a lovely day!
-
And hello, everyone.
I shall try to return later to catch up on the posts. I will just add that Bruce's tostada salad yesterday looked AWFULLY good! It was all I could do to keep my fork out of it. I think I shall try it next time.

There are people in Ashland who feel the TAMING OF THE SHREW should not be performed at the Shakespeare festival.
I personally am not offended and know you meant no disrespect.
-
When I get a haircut i usually have my bangs cut longish, so I don't usually have any traditional bangs.
I also like them longish to begin with. Often those I ask for a smidgen more off which is not easy to do & they end up shorter than I want.
-
;D :) ;) HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR BK ;D :) ;)
-
My niece posted this on my Facebook wall yesterday. If my hair still looked this good without bangs I wouldn't have them.
-
I got up this morning at 4am like usual, knew why I was up and what to do, but everything seemed like it would fall apart if I did. I got scared and called in sick. I think I have taken off maybe 5 days for being sick in 40 years of working. The scariest part is as I'm getting older the scared part gets worse.
So I went back to sleep and just woke up a couple of hours ago. Walked across the street to buy orange juice and dayquil, and now enjoying the beautiful sunshine in a great stupor.
-
DR Jane - when I saw that photo on FB yesterday, I was hoping you'd post it here. I love it!
-
Feel better vibes for DR Sam!
-
Hmm, my hair is sweeping a little bit across my forehead, not the best demonstration. They guy getting an adoring look from me is Keith & the little cutie is my niece who sent the photo.
-
Thanks Ginny.
-
The age of the photo is why my hair looks rather red, funny since that is what I wanted to do today.
-
A couple of notes from an article that is really about a cooking trip to Lapland. Raindeer Games.
Santa and his flying reindeer were said to be inspired by shamanistic visions sparked by hallucinogenic mushrooms native to Lapland.
The original Finnish image of Father Christmas is positively frightening, he has the head of a goat, is hostile to children and demands gifts from them.
When Sami shamans enter a trance with the help of psychedelic mushrooms, their spirits leave their bodies, travel great distance, return home, fly down the chimney hole in the roof of their yurts. This may be the model for the story of Saint Nicholas.
-
Great picture Jane. I loved long hair. It was so easy to take care of.
-
Thank you Ginny. 8)
I blame it on early morning walks, yard work, and it being cold. (but then again since I'm always so hot, I'm sure I do not dress appropriately for the winter either).
-
Time to get back under the covers. More sleep. More orange juice. :-[
-
And Happy Birthday again to a very young at heart bk, who does more things in a single year than any person I know. And a pinch for many more. ;D :) ;)
-
Great picture Jane. I loved long hair. It was so easy to take care of.
Much easier than short hair, at least mine is.

Bruce tickling me in Portland.

Love the DRJANE photos!

There is a 45 RPM phonograph record in the box I sent you today, MR BK. But I also put both sides on a CD in WAV format just in case.
I guess you will have to convert them to MP3 to put them on your IPOD, but I can do that and send you the files if you like what you hear.
-
Page Five hint to MR BK as to what is in the Birthday Box. ;D

Re the Yap solo recordings - since the majority of them require singers to sing to existing orchestrations and arrangements I just have to ask if singers are so hungry to do a solo album that they'll do something that impersonal. We took and take pride in crafting ORIGINAL albums to the singer - I could just as easily let people sing to other singers' tracks (I have all the solo albums' instrumental mixes on DAT) but I wouldn't do it.
One of the reasons why I stopped working with Mr Yap was because I got tired of seeing my charts used on 3-5 albums with no compensation, but I have to say, Birthday Boy, I know at least two charts of mine you reused with other singers: ;)
1. "Joshua Noveck" for Susan Egan, whom I prefer over the original singer
2. "Disneyland" for Michelle Nicastro
Now that I've compromised you, I have to add that I was flattered you liked the charts well enough to use them again! On John Yap's reccordings I've got the following overdubs that I know of:
"Tell My Father" Sean McDermott (original), Matt Bogart, John Barrrowman
"Don't Rain On My Parade" Broadway West End concert (original), Caroline O'Connor, Kim Criswell, Sally Ann Triplett, Debbie Gravitte and "Showstoppers from Broadway"
"Who Will Love Me As I Am" Robin North, kim Criswell, Glory Crampton, Caroline O'Connor and "A Little Bit In love" compilation
"Her Face" Matt Bogart (original), Doug LeBreque,
"My Personal Property" Sweet Charity (original), Christianne Noll
"Nothing" Broadway Kim Criswell, Susan Egan
"What I Did For Love" Caroline O'Connor, Christianne Noll and "Showstoppers From Broadway"
"Every Time We Say Godbye" recorded by Issy Van Ransdwyck" and Debbie Gravitte om "Musicality of Porter"
"Kissing You" Caroline O'Connor (original), Glory Crampton
Reused tracks with the original singer include:
"MacCavity" Paulette Ivory on "Stars of the Musical" and Musicality of Andrew Lloyd Webber
"Say A Prayer For Me T" Lindsay Hamilton on something and "Musicality of Lerner and Loewe"
"Anyone Can Whistle" John Barrowman on solo album and "Musicality of Sondheim"
"I Don't Remember You" Ron Raines on solo album and "Musicality of Kander & Ebb" also on Glory Crampton's solo recording
"Nowadays" CarolineO'Connor on solo album and "Musicality of Kander & Ebb"
"I Could Write A Book" Matt Bogart on solo album and "Musicality of Rodgers & Hart"
"With You" Ethan Freeman on solo album and "Loving You" compilation
"Come Follow the Band" on Broadway West end concert and "Showstoppers from Broadway"
"You're Nothing without Me" Broadway West end concert and "Showstoppers from Broadway"
"Can You Feel The Love Tonight?" Sean McDermott on solo album and "A Little Bit In love"

That is all.

Tomorrow's another McGlinnventory day. The estate inventory is finally finished, and we are now selling music in the estate not going to the Library of Congress. It's primarily published orchestra and vocal scores for opera, ballet, concert pieces, and composer editions like the New Mozart Edition. Many of them are rare and out of print items. The sale deadline is Dec 15, and if anyone on HHW would like to see what's being offered and opening bidding prices, please contact me, and I'll see that you are sent the lists.
-
I went and changed the card that I posted for BK's birthday, just to be on the safe side. It is possible that someone who does not know me might think that I posted it in order to be racist and to try to offend, and that is certainly not something I would want anyone to think of me.
PS: the card that is now posted in no way advocates that I think girls are lazy, by the way.

Happy happy Birthday to BK!

Hello everyone!
I hope you are all having a good week, and a good start to the holiday season.
It's been very cold here all week - mostly below freezing. But lots of people out on the streets and doing some holiday shopping.
-
A very Happy Birthday to Bruce!!
It sounds like you have planned a wonderful day.
All best wishes to you!
-
And a quick rewind to yesterday so I may wish a Happy Birthday to DR Jane!
I hope you had a very nice day!

I got home and decided to google someone who volunteers for us, a dear man named "Ruby Rims". He's been around since the 70s and he's sweet and kind and extremely helpful in our work.
Well, I came across a photo shoot posted on BroadwayWorld.com and there are lots and lots of pictures of people posted here, including someone we all know and love. She just posted today, in fact. She's very busy and doesn't post as often as we want her to, but she's a glamorous and lovely person and I love seeing these pictures of our own Miss Julie at the MAC Awards in May of this year.

PS: the card that is now posted in no way advocates that I think girls are lazy, by the way.
It's certainly more politically correct, DR MBarnum! I think it's in much better taste. I'm surprised there's no line of Bollywood greeting cards to suit your tastes and tickle your fancy.

A couple of notes from an article that is really about a cooking trip to Lapland. Raindeer Games.
Santa and his flying reindeer were said to be inspired by shamanistic visions sparked by hallucinogenic mushrooms native to Lapland.
The original Finnish image of Father Christmas is positively frightening, he has the head of a goat, is hostile to children and demands gifts from them.
When Sami shamans enter a trance with the help of psychedelic mushrooms, their spirits leave their bodies, travel great distance, return home, fly down the chimney hole in the roof of their yurts. This may be the model for the story of Saint Nicholas.
Very interesting...thanks for the info.
-
Maybe I best just stick to vintage greeting cards that have cats and dogs on them.
-
A very, very, very (that is 3 verys) happy birthday to Mr. BK! I hope it is a wonderful day of birth celebration for you Bruce!!!

elmore, it's a little different - two songs as opposed to hundreds - one done as a favor to Susan so we could put out an album of all her tracks she'd done for me over the years, and one done as a hidden track for Michelle. That's not quite the same as doing an entire solo album for a specific singer in which she's singing to tracks that were orchestrated and arranged for another singer - that's what I find off-putting and really weird.

Champagne Birthday Wishes, Bruce...and Caviar Dreams!
Or, just some ham chunks...
Happy Birthday, BK!

I've been having quite a marvelously marvelous day doing only things I care to do. I picked up four count them four packages (but NOT the errant and truant one from amazon France - I'm now very concerned it's been returned by customs like the first one). First off, why is it even GOING through customs when I've received many, many packages that haven't gone through customs, all from amazon.fr and all of which arrive in three or four days - same with the UK.
-
Hello everyone!
I hope you are all having a good week, and a good start to the holiday season.
It's been very cold here all week - mostly below freezing. But lots of people out on the streets and doing some holiday shopping.
Hello, DR Julie! I miss you.
Thank you, Larry. I miss you, too!

BK, I know you love vintage footage of L.A. Have you ever checked out the VCI releases of the first season of BURKE'S LAW? I watched a couple of episodes today--lots of establishing shots around the city.

DR Jane - When you say "cut" do you mean "trim"? Or just cut them all off?
I've never understood just exactly how cutting your bangs off works? I mean, it part of the hair framing your face, right? So, you can't really cut that all off, right? I mean, if you go shorter, won't that make them stand out a little more? Whereas if you let them grow out, then they just blend in with the rest of the hair around your face? ???
In Jane's case, I think that she's wondering if she should cut her long hair to make bangs. If I remember correctly, her hair is all one length...I think.
LOL-look at the photos you recently took. :)

BK, I agree with you! I just wasn't going to let you get away with it. I went back and added a smiley because I wasn't posting it to be mean. As I said, I really prefer Susan Egan to Tammy on "Josua Noveck" and I knew you wanted a chance to remix "Disneyland" after the Day The Board Crashed. It's a hard choice between Jodi and Michelle; I liked them both.
Caroline O'Connor and Ron Raines paid me for those charts of "My Man," "Kissing You," and "I Don't remember You," and I honestly don't think Mr Yap had any right to reuse his blank orchestra tracks simply because their albums are on his label.

I got home and decided to google someone who volunteers for us, a dear man named "Ruby Rims". He's been around since the 70s and he's sweet and kind and extremely helpful in our work.
Well, I came across a photo shoot posted on BroadwayWorld.com and there are lots and lots of pictures of people posted here, including someone we all know and love. She just posted today, in fact. She's very busy and doesn't post as often as we want her to, but she's a glamorous and lovely person and I love seeing these pictures of our own Miss Julie at the MAC Awards in May of this year.

Aww - thank you DR Ben!!
Ruby Rims was fantastic at the MAC Awards -- a real audience favorite. You must have some great conversations while volunteering.

Good Evening!
It's cold in NYC.

That is all.

I'm watching WHITE CHRISTMAS.
(Which has nothing to do with DR MBarnum's birthday card.)

In other news...
Earlier, I headed down to Joe - The Art of Coffee (http://www.joetheartofcoffee.com/) down on Waverly Place to have my mocha latte prepared by an 8th-Grader.
Yes, an 8th Grader.
Today was the "final exam" of a special program they've been running with Citizen Schools (http://www.citizenschools.org/). Over the past 10 weeks, the folks at Joe have been mentoring a group of 8th graders from a school in Brooklyn. The students not only learned how to make a good cup of coffee - via "pour over" and Chemex - and pull a proper shot of espresso, they also received training in front of house duties such as manning a cash register and managerial duties.
It took a few extra minutes to get my mocha, but the students did a wonderful job, and they were also offering free samples of their Kenyan blend to everyone in line.
*I do have to say that the thought of 8th graders buzzed on caffeine is a little frightening to me - they apparently also tasted many varieties over the past couple of weeks - but what a wonderful program with benefits for the students and the mentors. There were also a bunch of regulars who came in, and they had high praise for the budding baristas.

Actually, when I first saw DR MBarnum's card, I thought it was an ad for THE SCOTTBORO BOYS.

This must be exciting for you. :)

And a quick rewind to yesterday so I may wish a Happy Birthday to DR Jane!
I hope you had a very nice day!
An extra nice day thank you.

I never made the association between minstrel shows and the Mandy number in WHITE CHRISTMAS when I watched it as a youngen. I always thought it was some kind of weird Christmas number (because of all the red and green in the costumes and scenery.) What did I know?...

The stockings are hung by the chimney with care and the mantle is lined with bubble lights. I think Rob will set up the Christmas tree tomorrow while I'm having my eyes examined.

But that's what he does, over and over again. So, you buy a Glory Crampton CD and you've, in essence, already heard all the tracks, you just have a new singer. It's disgusting and, as I said, I'm surprised any singer is so hungry to do one that they leap at that. Especially as, at least from what I understand, they are guaranteeing to purchase enough CDs themselves to cover all Mr. Yap's costs.

Again, many thanks for all the birthday wishes!

Oh Yeah for Marilyn Maye!! I love her. She summers at Okoboji. She wrote a great song about being stranded in the snow in my home town Estherville. She also worked on saving Arnolds Park, an old amusement park at the lakes. She was fabulous and showed up at every event to lend a hand and sing a song

Hmmm found this in a review of her from February, not sure if that was in New York or somewhere else
She sang her own parody, "Estherville," a sideways tribute to the winter landscape of the northwest Iowa town near one of her favorite venues, Lake Okoboji.

Now I'm watching a DVD of Christmas episodes of The Bell Telephone Hour. A bit on the dry side, but the music selections are interesting and the performances are pleasing. And I get a kick from watching this kind of live TV that was done in the 50's and 60's. Well, sort of live--I gather that the Bell Telephone Hour presentations were mostly taped for broadcast. But still, the segments look like they were done continuously with no stops and occasional intercutting between cameras. I would have loved to been around that studio when one of these shows were taped.

The phone book that just came out has the wrong suite number for my office in my yellowbook ad. I'm really ticked about it. I was able to negotiate a 15% reduction in the price of the ad, but it's really irritating. They did get the building right, and we can tell people who make appointments the correct suite number, but it's still irritating.
-
I think they need to refund the total amount, Cillaliz. That's just bad.

Dex put the wrong suite number for my office in my yellowbook ad. I'm really ticked about it. I was able to negotiate a 15% reduction in the price of the ad, but it's really irritating.

Did no one proof the ad before it went in?
-
I'm watching a local newscast to hear what they have to say about this weekend's impending winter storm - just call me Chicken Little! As soon as I hear the forecast, I'm going to bed - 'night!
-
They won't give me a full refund. they started at 5% I wanted 25% and they said that's what they do for the whole address being wrong. Frankly, the old book had my old suite number in it up until October and people still found me. I really don't think it will hurt my business. Everyone on second floor knows where I am and if you put that address on a letter, the mailman will bring it to me. Let's also say that I think the book is consistent with the proofs and I didn't catch it, so....I'm pretty lucky to get any refund at all.
-
However they did get the right suite number on my bill.

I will say the claims guy was really friendly. I know a lot of people are cutting back on the yellow pages or only choosing to use one book or the other. I do get business through the yellow pages and i know it so i'll keep an ad in there, it may change a bit, but it will be in there

DR Jane - If your text messaging works outside of your house, then it should work in your house. In general, if you can receive and make calls in your house, then you should be able to send and receive texts too.
As for checking your messages from a land line, the usual protocol is dialing your own number, then pressing # or *. That should bring up your voicemail menu, prompting you to enter your PIN.
Here are the instructions from T-Mobil's website: Calling voicemail from a landline (http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm51066.xml?docid=2188&navtypeid=6&pagetypeid=7&prevPageIndex=1&lid=y)
