I had a semi-disaster last night. My 11 month old niece threw up all over her playpen. So i brought my steamfast steamer over to clean it. Only thing is it would not work. It got hot. THe light went on (and then off when it was heated). But when i pushed the button nothing happened.

This was quite a mess since we had a messy playpen and all her toys to steam.

When i got home i tried their remedy. They said if steam would not come out then it could be mineral build-up. I used the vinegar and water solution. But nothing.

Very upsetting. It seems like the unit gets hot but the button will not work. I've had it for 11 months and use it a lot. Of course their customer support line is only open monday to friday.

Does anybody have any idea what it could be?

Skip is on safari? I hope he wore some cool clothing, like Jon Hall.

Maybe he'll dress like Cornell Wilde.

Speaking of Cornell Wilde, I shall now be on my way to sup with the Jones family.

After MACBETH, whch seemed tame after Polanski's gory treatment, I watched a wonderful lesbian-themed romantic comedy IMAGINE ME & YOU. I can't remember how I missed it in the theatre, but I had wanted to see it s lot. I wasn't disappointed; I liked it very much.

Some of the books about the movie industry I remember enjoying over the years have been, if memory serves me right:

Hollywood Sur Le Nil By Noël Howard....
http://priceminister.speedera.net/img.priceminister.com/cover/79658830

Hollywood by Garson Kanin

Hollywood Village by veteran French director Robert Florey (A terrific publication!)
http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/2857042116.08.MZZZZZZZ.jpg

La Vie Quotidienne à Hollywood by Charles Ford
(FORD (Charles) - La vie quotidienne à Hollywood, 1915 - 1935.
Avec une postface sur Hollywood en guerre. Hachette, 1972, 234pp, biblio, index.)

and the little paperback series I used to find in the seventies called

Whatever Happened To?

Hi! My nephew Jon has been reading the discussion, enjoys it and is planning to join. He's had a little trouble registering, so I emailed BK about it, but as soon as he's on, I hope everyone will welcome him.

The day here is warm enough for us to go into the garden and have a barbecue lunch. Spring must be really on its way. For some reason the dogs become excited when barbecue is mentioned.

I'm sure it is exciting to know that is lunchtime in the land of OZ.

I went to the movie World Trade Center tonight. I couldn't believe someone took an infant and a toddler and the theater let them. Of course the baby started crying and the toddler started fussing and even though several of us were saying "TAKE THE BABY OUT OF HERE" they didn't do anything for the longest time - finally right when someone notified an employee the guy took the kids out. Then someone in front of me got a cell phone call - the phone didn't ring, but she talked for a good 5 minutes in a very loud whisper.

No wonder I like early matinees rather than evening movies.

Oh I had a pleasant surprise today....seems I lost 5 pounds this week and I didn't even know it until I stepped on the scale. I have been busy and have had little or nothing for lunch and have cut out the morning mochas...maybe that's been enough

Good heavens that was only post 100!!!! Come on FJL we need a frenzy of major proportions!

Cool, no severe storms tonight....they're going to the north this time. That's fine with me. We could still use a little rain.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #104 on:** August 12, 2006, 08:20:21 PM »

Oh great, severe storms tomorrow afternoon and flooding rains tomorrow night.....so if I'm e and t, I probably have the computer unplugged.
