Hi TCB. You look so relaxed in your avatar. You are a great actor. How is your back, & everything else?

It is very nice to have you back, Jane. My back is terrible, but I have decided there is no way I can have back surgery - so I guess I will just live with it.

As for the MRSA, the golf ball lump is now gone, and tomorrow marks my last day with the sulfa drugs. Please mark July 16 on your calendar as a day for positive vibes. Each time the MRSA has returned on the 30th day.

It sounds interesting, as long as they aren't shaving the backside on poodles-so yucky,

They are editing a lot of the actual grooming so you don't see anything yucky. It's the final four. I'm assuming only one will go home and I think I know who it's going to be.

Tomorrow I am going to go to the lake to have dinner with my parents. Monday is dad's birthday and of course tomorrow is Father's Day. They have a long list of chores for me to do. Hopefully I'll be back in time for the Tonys. If not I'm DVRing it

I suppose it has to be approved so hopefully it will be on later tonight, which I will check. Well, I'm signing off for now so ta, ta for now!

Julie, there is no wait to have your picture approved. You would know when you save your profile if the picture took. I would say that it didn't take.

Is that now gone or not gone? I hope it is now gone.

Hi, Cillaliz - just tryin' to stay awake for my midnight meds. Fortunately, I'll finish this routine at noon on Monday. Every 6 hours is a pain!

Hopefully when you reach the end of your pain pills, the pain will be gone and you won't notice a thing

DP and I watched "The Kite Runner" last night. I've not read the book.

I really enjoyed the movie until the last half hour's return to Kaboul section which was so contrived and unbelievable! Was this a "hollywoodization" of the novel?

Exactly what I siad about the last section. Of ALL the people to run into going back, the man HAD to be THAT man. Argh!

My DSL has been out of service for most of the day. So nice to be missed.

I spent the afternmoon watching the first four episodes of THE OFFICE from the season three box set. I watched all the episodes when season three was first broadcast, but I hadn't had time to watch this since I got the box many months ago.\\The first one was one of the season's best: the outing of Oscar in the office by idiot boss Michael. Hilarious from beginning to end. I loved seeing it again.

Matt H. · « **Reply #205 on:** June 14, 2008, 08:22:14 PM »

The next one had Michael and Dwight attending a convention where Jim and his new boss were also attending. Funny show with lots of heart, too.

In these episodes, we got to know Andy (Ed Helms) who became a big part of the show as the season progressed and all during this past season, too.

Matt H. · « **Reply #206 on:** June 14, 2008, 08:23:09 PM »

Also watched the episode where they had a memorial service for a dead bird. Also, the episode where Dwight went behind Michael's back to try to get a promotion.

Matt H. · « **Reply #207 on:** June 14, 2008, 08:24:31 PM »

One of the great things about the box sets for seasons two and three is that there are a wealth of deleted scenes for each episode that didn't make it to air andn yet the material is just as funny as the broadcast episode. In some cases, there are almost enough deleted scenes to make another half hour episode.

DR Cillaliz - I hope you have a nice day with your Dad (and Mom) tomorrow.

Thanks Ginny. I'm taking a rhubarb pie I bought this morning at the farmer's market. (and some rhubarb marmelade that is really tasty)

Dad wants mom's roast beef and rice, so that's the menu. I think she got some asparagus at the farmer's market there. Not sure what else we'll have.

Then I'm measuring windows in the guest house (used to be a garage ) for blinds and if they are standard size we'll run to Wal-Mart and get them and if my dad remembered to charge the drill, I'll install them. I have to program a NOAA weather radio and Dad has some computer issues for me to fix. So, I'll mostly be doing this chore or that chore, but it's ok, I enjoy doing it.

Tonight I switched over to Blu-ray material and watched first the Blu-ray of THE UNTOUCHABLES.

This has been a very controversial transfer in that Paramount scrubbed the master clean of all grain, so the image looks nice and polished but the character of film seems strangely missing from the clean look of the transfer.

Still, knowing this ahead of time kept me from being shocked at the way it looked, and I enjoyed seeing it again. No HD audio mixes, though. Merely Dolby Digital 5.1 EX and DTS-ES, both lossy audio transfers.
