I've sent Amazon.com an e-mail:

"I received an e-mail from you announcing the upcoming release on DVD of 'The Fountainhead.'  There was a link to pre-order the title for $13.99.

Trouble is, it took me to a screen that says the title is not available in your catalog at this time.

What's the story, Morning Glory?  Why send an invitation to pre-order if it isn't set up in your system?

Is there a glitch somewhere?  Did someone jump the gun?

What's the word, Hummingbird?"

PennyO, an exercise I've used in the past is to think about all the things one HAS accomplished and think about how they were accomplished. Most of us, I find, have done far more than we give ourselves credit for. We pooh-pooh our successes. "Oh, but that was easy." Really? Any easier than what we're attempting now? I suspect there's a lot of mild (and not so mild) post-traumatic stress syndrome around. And, yes, courage and optimism are real gifts.

Anyone know of Television schedules from 1984. Namely the week ending January 28?

A friend of mine is organizing her late brother's tape collection and part of his collection includes Search for Tomorrow. He has Matt Ashford's first day and we are trying to figure out what day it was on by trying to place the program they are promoting in a voice over on the end credits.

Through synopsis from Soap opera digest and from a few newspapers we have placed the week.

My friend Sandy and I have it narrowed down to either Wednesday or Thursday. From my observation, they would never intro a soap character with speaking lines on a Monday or Friday. So those days are ruled out. Also at this time, one of the main characters, had a different actress take over the role. Another thing they would not do on a Monday or Friday is reveal a new actor/actress taking over an established role.

So my task now is to figure out how to change the elephant's perception.


Please let me know if you find the answer.

Jeanne-your advice is very good, something I often do.  It works when life is difficult & we just need to remember the good things in life we have.

I'm sure DR TPunk meant Bob Newhart rather than Bob Hope when she mentioned the gag that recurred during the Emmy Awards last night.

I sure did, thanks for catching it.  That's what I get for posting under the influence of cold medicine.

We always had music in our house, mostly classical.  My father played the piano and we would, all off key, sing folk songs.

 I must have done something right as both boys love music, Craig so much he got in degree in communications with the intention of being a DJ.  Since his stint in the Peace Corps he wants to get a degree in Government Policy.

I watched the Emmys last night and would just describe it as average. I did think Conan was funny, and enjoyed his opening. But I watch a lot of tv and I just wasn't excited by the show overall.

Yes the Aaron Spelling and Dick Clark tributes were nice. And everything was fine. But I really did not care for most of the winners (actually i did not care for most of the nominees in general).

Jane - Toby has Martian eyes in that photo.

And Dylan seems to be looking up someone's shorts, but actually must be hoping that person would drop some food.

It irks me when the tune, Irish Washerwoman, is played.

I've always liked it myself, ever since I learned to play it for a 1968 production of OH, WHAT A LOVELY WAR!  The song was originally published in Dublin, 1788, so it isn't an Irish-american tune, but the real McCoy.  I've always been partial to "Moore's Irish Melodies," published originally in 10 volumes between 1808 and 1834, myself.

Had a long lunch and then mailed some packages at the post office. It's hot out, but I simply must mow the front yard today. We're expecting rain tomorrow, and it will be a jungle if another rain hits it before it's mowed.
