Thank you, DR JRand.

Hmm... I wonder if "nice blog" could become the new "nice pants".

I just let Sherlock in from his deck & he scattered snow all over the house.

Yes, he is supposed to wait for me to towel him off. He was just unusually playful. I'm sure he will ask to go out again soon.

Dixie does this all the time! (as did her predecessor, Minx).
Just when you think you're warm and comfortable, in comes a snow-covered dog who just wants to shake off all over you.

It was indeed. I also loved that when the family adopted the kitten the crow would be there in the morning waiting until the kitten could come out to play

I know, too bad that was captured on film. I would love to have seen the first moment of contact. I wonder what possessed the crow to mother the kitten & how young was the kitten at the time.

Great picture Jane.

TD-cute Dixie.

Sherlock is very good & knows to wait while we dry him off, his bolting was unusual & all my fault. He was excited from playing in the snow, & the fact there wasn't any room for the new trick I have been teaching him. I say "wipe your feet" & he goes in a circle. Today I finally attempted the trick on the towel, just inside the door. Sherlock is too big to make a circle in the amount of space there & decided to run around the house instead.

Thank you TPunk. Be sure to watch the kitten video.

There are some studies and theories that the venom from some spiders can give relief to those suffering from MS, Huntington's Chorea etc. Perhaps your spider bite will Help the shoulder TCB. I've also read that some of the toxins from marine creatures (possibly the Stone Fish) may be a help in relieving musle pain. (I don't think the studies were comtemplating the use of Death as a relief).

Yes, and bee stings are said to help MS, as well. (I'm not joking.) Lyprinol, an extract from the New Zealand green-lipped mussel, helps with pain syndromes and heals the intestinal lining. But it's not toxic--just unusual. Tomovoz's point is quite correct.

Jane · « **Reply #250 on:** January 27, 2008, 07:12:28 PM »

I knew someone who did the bee stings for awhile, and for awhile she had more mobility in her arms. Eventually she stopped doing it.

Personally, I'd have to be pretty desperate to do the bee stings. (There is a homeopathic equivalent, Apis.) But, then again, I had 16 weeks of schlerotherapy, which was pretty awful.

I tried the Lyprinol several years ago to heal my gut and I do think it helped. It was quite painless; I took the capsules.

Der Brucer is watching the new Journey to the Center of the Earth on Ion.

Jules Verne would wonder what connection it has to his novel.

I made Beouf Bourgonnione (or whatever the spelling is) for dinner tonight.

We are sated.

Good night.

That she is, Jane, that she is.

The other thing we did this afternoon was look over the schedule of trips offered by the senior center. She's going to sign up for a lot of the day trips and a couple of the multi-day ones - Bardstown, KY, and Niagara Falls.

Richard and I just finished watching The Cardinal and now I'm going to bed. Tomorrow is the first day of my first 5-day work week since the week of Dec. 10. Gonna be a lo-o-o-ong week.

'night!

I had a very full evening of viewing.

I began by finishing WORDS AND MUSIC BY JERRY HERMAN. When it came on PBS, I watched it in HD. This anamorphically enhanced DVD will do just fine.

Matt H. · « **Reply #262 on:** January 27, 2008, 08:05:44 PM »

I also watched the first bonus feature on the disc, the complete "Hello, Dolly" number done at the White House. Amazing how they can sync the cast recording up to the live footage to give it better sound.

I did end up watching the five top ladies skate their long programs from last night.

Poor Kimmie Misner. She is the latest in what I call the Elaine Zayak syndrome: extremely gifted as a little girl who could pull off these incredible programs with next to no seeming effort. However, as she began to grow up, her timing was lost with the increase in body size and weight, so that by the time she reached 18, it was impossible to skate the programs she did so effortlessly as a younger competitor. With age came experience but also a different body she had to learn to control, and for many girls, it's next to impossible to learn how to skate all over again.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #264 on:** January 27, 2008, 08:11:01 PM »

It has been raining all day. It is nice.

Matt H. · « **Reply #265 on:** January 27, 2008, 08:13:24 PM »

I watched the men's program, too.

Astounding that the evening ended in a tie between Evan Lysechek and Johnny Weir, but because Evan won the long program, he was declared the winner. I think Johnny got robbed frankly. His skate was much more graceful with perfect jumps and an ease and security to the landings than Evan didn't have. His program was powered through but very ragged.

Anyway, if they can continue to skate at this level, they should do fine at the World's this year. Sadly, because two of the top three ladies medalists are 14 and 15, they're not old enough to compete at the Senior World Championships and will represent the US once again at the Junior Worlds. The three ladies elected to be sent to the Senior Worlds finihsed 3rd, 5th, and 7th at our nationals. Not a hopeful sign.

I watched the SAG Awards, of course.

Was not surprised at the show of love for THE SOPRANOS (won all three drama series categories), but that sentimental vote did cost some others well deserved trophies, too. Very pleased with the TV comedy winners, all deserving.

As for the movies, no shocking surprises, and I think these might very well be the ones who go on to win the Oscars. Only Ruby Dee was a mild surprise, and it was obviously a career award as well as for her performance in AMERICAN GANGSTER.

Then, I started the next review copy, that BET movie called BLACKOUT. Jeffrey Wright is the most familiar face in the film (he also produced it). It's a slice of life about the events in a Brooklyn neighborhood (East Flatbush) over two harrowing days during the blackout of 2003.

Pretty good so far, but I'm only about 55 minutes in. I'll finish it tomorrow.

I guess I could look at yesterday's page 10.
