The Smith Brothers (I loved their Wild Cherry Cough Drops)

Never heard of them.

They have been around as long as I can remember, except when they took a break.

From Wikipedia:
"John Herman Pine (1847–1930)[1] and George William Pine (1848–1901)[2] were Philadelphia confectioner brothers. They emigrated from Germany in the 1860s with their parents, Frederick Pine and Margaretta Knopple Pine. In 1870 they formed Pine Brothers and opened a confectionery shop, selling Pine Brothers Glycerine Tablets.

The Pine family continued to run the Pine Bros. Soft Throat Drops business until the 1930s. The business has been sold several times since then. It was recently revived in 2012 by Victoria Knight-McDowell. The company continues to make softish cough drops."


I was very excited when they returned.  Lately I can't find them in the stores and have to order them online.

Well...

It seems the tree taker downers will be assembling to do their thing first thing in the morning. On the one hand, that’s news we’ve been waiting for for the past week. (The storm was one week and three hours and ten minutes ago, but who’s counting?). On the other hand I’m filled with apprehension...okay, hope and terror...for all to go well with no further damage to the house and of course to no one involved. Photographic evidence will, of course, be the order of the day.

I am not Guest of the Day here, but we do have a comfy sitting area in our room.  It’s nice not to have to sit on the bed all the time.

Just had a nice chat with the Vixter.  She and Charles have gotten their passports and Tickets to Canada to introduce the soon to be new member of the family to the Canadian branch, most importantly to Granny.

Elmore, if you give the kids some home-cooked food, be sure it doesn't have/isn't cooked with onion. Onion is toxic to cats.

I never knew this....

TOD from yesterday:
It's really getting on my nerves the way people now say "perfect" about everything. So, a waiter takes my order and says, "Perfect". Really? What about my order is perfect? Is my food going to be perfect? I doubt it.


Very true, Amy.  In fact, perfect!

Well...

It seems the tree taker downers will be assembling to do their thing first thing in the morning. On the one hand, that’s news we’ve been waiting for for the past week. (The storm was one week and three hours and ten minutes ago, but who’s counting?). On the other hand I’m filled with apprehension...okay, hope and terror...for all to go well with no further damage to the house and of course to no one involved. Photographic evidence will, of course, be the order of the day.


Vibes for the tree taker downers , vibes for the home liver inners

Today, I received my new multi-region Blu-ray player from eBay!
Title: Re: THE BROTHERS
Post by: George on May 23, 2018, 12:01:35 AM
I set it up and tested both region 1 DVDs and 2 DVDs.
Title: Re: THE BROTHERS
Post by: George on May 23, 2018, 12:02:22 AM
I played a region A Blu-ray disc and that worked, too...as I expected it to.
Title: Re: THE BROTHERS
Post by: George on May 23, 2018, 12:04:03 AM
Now, I just need to dig out one of my region B Blu-ray discs, and then I'll have confirmation that it really works!

While looking for a region 2 DVD, I found a DVD that was cracked when I received it, and wondered if it's copy-guarded.
Title: Re: THE BROTHERS
Post by: George on May 23, 2018, 12:09:14 AM
I brought it to my older computer and found that it's not, so I was able to burn a copy!
Title: Re: THE BROTHERS
Post by: George on May 23, 2018, 12:10:04 AM
I can watch that and the original won't get any more cracked.

I burned the copy on my older computer because it's easier to copy DVDs on that than my new computer.
