Book lovers alert: if any of you belong to the History Book Club, they are having an incredible deal right now--every last one of their books is $9.99, plus if you spend over $20, you get $1.99 flat rate shipping. I have gone absolutely nuts and gotten a ton of great stuff (and like all the BOMC clubs, you're getting publishers' editions, not book club knockoffs). Stuff like the Columbia Encyclopedia (list price $125) or a compendium of every drawing and sculpture by Michaelangelo (again, $125) for a mere $9.99.

Also, if any NW denizens perchance have the major "one stop shopping" major retailer's credit card that just started up, if you've gotten your first bill, could you drop me a line? There's a very interesting anomaly that I don't want to post publicly; suffice it to say, when they say it has "rewards," they're not a-kidding.

I'm back!
What a swell time I had!
Will post lots of pictures (on photobucket.com, of course) after I've had a hot, steaming whirlpool bath and several pots of coffee. . .

I am still awaiting information about DR td's unexpected encounter.

Great links, news stories, AND photos from DR CP. And if MR BK is going to Kentucky, he can always spend an hour or two at the World of Wisdom Bookstore signing some books!

All those posts about Pogue's underpants...and nary a link to a site where some inexplicably besotted person might purchase a pair.

TOD: Most awful trip - my DS was ill when we left and was ill the entire trip. We took him to two doctors during the trip. We found out later he had pneumonia.

Scariest trip - My DH took me up in a two-seat Cessna. I was scared to death.

Most painful trip -- I had a sinus infection. We took off and landed four times (Southwest Airlines), but saved a lot of money. It felt like ice picks in my head.

Most stressful trip (besides the two-seater) -- I was visiting MIL in Indiana when the kids called saying they found my mother passed away in her home. I was very stressed getting back, and was thoroughly wanded and searched at the airport, since I bought a one-way ticket home.

For a surprise start to the photographic journey!

Bear #1 is "T'onto". He may look like a golf player from Ireland but when questioned he thought Tiger Woods was a character from "Peter Pan" and he has more of a Brooklyn accent than an Irish Brogue.

Bear #2 is "Miguel". San Francisco Rainbow Bear. Stange that he still has an accent from El Paso. He claims to know the way to San Jose. He is quite well known in certain Bars of special interest.

Bear ## is "Bro". He looks like a Bear with attitude but his name comes from being part of the Brotherhood of Mann. He is, despite being "Da Bear In Da Hood", quite a charmer but does have some rather strange conversation twists. He seems to be more at home with "American girl" and "Toys R Us" than with Rap Concerts. He claims to know someone quite important - "Victoria Elizabeth" from the Island of Long.

Good afternoon DRs, and Esteemed BK --

this is a follow-up to TOD:

Best trips: Any number of vacation trips with DP Kerry to places like Paris, Nice, Rome, London, the Carribean, Australia, and others. Many of them cruise vacations (on a ship Jose !!), and some airline trips. Kerry has a knack for walking around neighborhoods, and stumbling upon interesting shops or restaurants.

Also, once I was on a return cruise from Australia to the U.S., and when the ship called in at Tonga, who got on board but Mr. Robert Morley and his wife. I ended up being invited to a couple of social things that they threw, and he was an absolute charmer and very friendly.

Or...he's letting off steam...or just having a good time.

It has been a most unusual day.

The chiropractor was unusually cheerful this morning as he made a series of adjustments.

I'm both better-aligned and a bit sorish, as a result of the manipulations.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #140 on:** October 23, 2006, 06:13:49 PM »

I will say this: I have been in a significantly better mood lately than I've experienced in the past 15 years.

Everything old seems new again...and that's no mean feat!

Edisaurus · « **Reply #141 on:** October 23, 2006, 06:14:42 PM »

I'm misaligned and sore-ish due to spending 9 solid hours doing heavy yard work. Ouch all over!

But I am still able to proclaim that I think DR Pogue is the handsomest man in "Underpants".

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #142 on:** October 23, 2006, 06:15:01 PM »

Thanks to S. Woody, I feel free to continue this line of maxims:

My worst trip was the return trip from Portland, ME. It started when we were at the airport in Portland and they needed a mechanic to fix something...a lightbulb or something simple, but the only mechanic lived 30 miles away and was still sleeping so we had to wait while they called woke him and he drove to the airport. I missed my connection in Chicago, finally got on a plane to Sioux Falls, we started smelling something funny, the plane turned around and the pilot announced we'd be returning to O'Hare because of smoke in the plane. When we approached the airport, there were firetrucks, ambulances etc and there were no other planes around that runway.

We landed fine and United brought in another plane and offered us $20 off our next flight on United...(gee isn't that generous) We got on another plane and on the way I can't remember what happened, but a woman was so frightened that she bit her tongue almost in half and they had to have an ambulance waiting for her at the airport when we landed.

I had a cough for several weeks from the smoke or whatever it was on the plane.

I had another flight on Republic, the old prop planes. It was really snowy and as we hit the runway in a small town (with a huge bump) the lights went out and the guy next to me dug his fingernails into my arm and then was very embarrassed when it turned out everything was ok

Tomovoz · « **Reply #149 on:** October 23, 2006, 06:26:14 PM »

I'm late for this too!

Welcome to all new DRs. Greetings, get well vibes and birthday wishes where appropriate.
If I go on holiday, the internet is not a "must do" for me.
