She was a "free spirit" with no home of her own, really, she used to drift from place to place, so she asked me to keep it. She was my "exotic" girlfriend--I was in my 20s, she was in her mid-30s, from Morocco, and was a very successful belly dancer here for years. She also had a glass eye, which I did not realize until our first night together when she said "My eye hurts" and then she popped it out of her socket and set it on the nightstand. I withstood the strong urge to scream like a girly-man.

It sounds like DR ELMORE isn't the only one with some stories to tell.

I don't remember seeing any promos on TV for this release at all - maybe they want some Blue-Ray issue specific comments to hype the release.

It doesn't come out until mid-May.

I'm going to head down now and finish the PSYCH episode I had started. I may watch a movie waiting for GHOST WHISPERER and then the delivery of the Blu-ray.

Sorry, Jeff, but I'm with the buyer. SOME sellers charge a flat rate "per item" regardless. It's one of those "gotcha" clauses that the buyer is supposed to detect BEFORE he bids.

It's along the same lines as selling something with a $.01 opening bid, but the shipping/handling charge (handling equalling labor, I guess) is something along the lines of $29. And, of course, it's something that can be shipped via USPS for $4.80.

Me, too. you only have to get burned a couple times before you learn to check EVERYTHING out.

Elmore will be writing his, Jeff, however, might well pass his tales down as part of the Kauffman Oral History - the boys will be pleased, but Betsy may have other thoughts

I'm catching a bit of DR PHIL today. What on earth would make someone go on the air and admit to sexually abusing his sister, brothers and daughter, and possibly his grandson?

Why would anyone willingly want the world to see what a horror they are?

I think you might be mistaken about chicken and egg -

this guy probably sexually abused his sister, brothers and daughter, and possibly his grandson so that he could get his fifteen minutes of TV fame.

If I could design my own house, it would have a large library-slash-pantry room right off the kitchen. Half the room would hold groceries, and the other half would be a library for all my cookbooks and books about food, with plenty of workspace to lay them out for a project or just to browse.

Is that impractical?

Somehow, I don't think I'll ever have the chance to worry about something like that.

I must say, the packaging and booklet for Evening Primrose are really, really classy. They make me very happy!

Not alt all - in turn-of-the-century (19th-20th) houses it was called a butler's pantry. Our Norfolk brick Victorian town house had a huge one with glass paneled cupboards and lots of working shelf space - even room for a small table and chair.

Except he actually doesn't have a license. There was a big expose of him on the MSN News channel a couple of days ago. I knew that he had been married before Robin, and that the current marriage is on the rocks, but I didn't know he actually lost his license over 20 years ago when he hired a 19 year old female client to "work" in his office. That's when he went into jury consulting.

FRIDAY PRIMROSE REPORT

[/b]

No CDs arrived today in little America (Tacoma)! I did receive my new One Touch can opener that I had ordered (but not from Kritzerland).

JMK · « **Reply #232 on:** April 25, 2008, 03:32:57 PM »

To Jeanne and RLP--do you seriously mean that if you saw an auction for a boxed set of 10 DVDs and it clearly stated $6.50 shipping both in the description and in the shipping cost field you would think you were being charged $65.00, i.e., $6.50 for each DVD in the boxed set? That's what happened in this particular instance. I totally understand if you're buying multiple items from the same seller that you should check (although again my description clearly states when I offer combined shipping and when I don't), but I certainly wouldn't think to ask if I were buying a boxed set if the shipping charge was for the set or a pro-rated amount for each individual DVD.

Nice review of MUSIC MAN in Hartford (featuring Patrick Cassidy, Shirley Jones, Jason Graae, Mary Stout, among many others) on Theatermania:

Ok, is it unAmerican that I really don't like the Music Man very well? Maybe it's defending all the drug dealers in the real River City, but I don't think so. Actually, my trial this week was from "River City"

Well, we will cope. He will have housing with a phone so we will talk frequently. I'm thinking it may even be time to break down and get a pre-paid cell phone since he'll be driving to Wisconsin (the theatre is about 90 minutes from Chicago) and if something happens he will not have to look for a phone.

Ben, go to www.net10.com

This company is great. The cost for the minutes is a straght ten cents a minute.......... no daily charges, no roaming charges, no long distance charges. You buy the minutes in 300 minute blocks for $30.00 plus tax. I have been using their phones for the past four years. I love them.

DR Cillaliz - when I was growing up my parents had several couples friends who were like aunts and uncles to me. One husband and wife pair were both from Iowa and were (probably still are) quite vociferous in their dislike for Music Man.
