We are very concerned and could use your vibes as BeeGee awoke this morning very seriously ill. He is in emergency care right now having his stomach pumped and he may need surgery later today. He has a very rare bloating problem that the vet says usually only strikes extremely large breeds--it always comes on without warning, usually in the middle of the night, and they don't really know what causes it. I am waiting by the phone to hear what happens.

BeeGee is back, pretty out of it, but alive (an Applause reference--kind of. Did Lauren Bacall ever suffer from bloat? Never mind...).

~~~CONTINUED VIBES FOR BEEGEE!!~~~

We had people call us to ask us to tape Survivor for them--but our power was out, too. We caught the last 20 minutes or so--nothing special. I didn't realize the finale was this Sunday already! I think you can watch Survivor online at CBS.com--they plugged it last night in one of the last commercials.

Thanks for the info. I'll tell my niece. She did find out who was voted off, so she may not need to actually see it.

Fortunately, nothing like this happened around my new (to me) house nor my sister's and especially not the house that she just sold (but the sale of which has not yet officially closed)!

Yikes!! My supervisor lives in Montesano! I hope he's okay! $:-\$

There are actually tons of big trees down around here with several roads closed. I saw them all in their disturbing display whilst transporting our newly very expensive dog to the vet.

Yikes! Awful pix! I am on my way north to Index, beginning Tuesday - probably arrive Thursday... any word on how things are, out Highway 2??? Yikes.

I'd highly recommend checking with the state highway divisions. PCH is closed at various points in Oregon, as is 26 (the main route from PCH to Portland) as well as a lot of other roads from the coast inland.

I just heard that over a million people are still without power around Seattle.

Over 16 of them know the truth about Frances Farmer.

Library's closing!

Bye for now.

Oh...I forgot. The power at my building (the administrative Service Center) was also out, which means that NONE of the computers in the entire library district can work, so ALL 27 branches of the Timberland Regional Library are closed today. The public Internet site seems to be working, but the Intranet (with staff-only passwords for access) isn't. However, our staff e-mail is accessible. Strange.

JMK · « **Reply #191 on:** December 15, 2006, 07:36:12 PM »

The power outage in our neighborhood was also really weird--everyone was without power except one or two isolated houses. How does that happen?

George · « **Reply #192 on:** December 15, 2006, 07:37:41 PM »

Ahh...the Intranet is working. I forgot the https.

So, maybe there is power...which might mean that there might be power at my house (I only live one street down from my work)! That would be nice! Or it might not mean that there is power at my house. I'll find out soon enough.

TOD: I took the Charlie Brown Christmas CD off the soundboard and listened to it in my office.

Today, I bought a newly remastered version of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" with alternate versions of four songs. I can't listen to it though.

More power to you! Sorry they had to cancel your show, George...

How is ol' BeeGee doing now? Poor fella.

I have been packing and cleaning - gotta get outa here first thing tomorrow, as we're going to try to rent these lofts, now that they have fulfilled the "owner-occupied" clause (Santa's cousin) for the year. Hard work - but at least it's not very interesting...

DR George---I loved the Cannibal pix, especialy the CU of you. All these pictures are great and everyone looks very beautiful with flawless complexions. I have to wonder what kind of cameras were used...

Just a point and click digital camera...we ALL have flawless, fabulous skin!

PennyO · « **Reply #196 on:** December 15, 2006, 07:43:38 PM »

I'm going to come up via I-5 - I just wonder if I'll find one of those old growth monsters lying over my house??? The floods a couple of weeks ago took out the road. Oy.

Sheesh, is it already a week since I attended the opening night of BRAIN? (apparently unseen by Mr. Kimmel... who, nevertheless provided tickets for me and three friends...)

They decided to add a second show on Sunday, after the matinee, so all the tickets for tonight's show (my sister, her boyfriend and my niece were supposed to go tonight!) will be honored at that added Sunday night show. That's good. The theater group won't have to give back all of the money. Hopefully, most people will be able to go on that day. My family can.

Thanks!

I'm going to go home now. I have a cat waiting in the cold. I bought some Presto logs at Costco and a couple of lighters at Fred Meyer (I didn't need Costco's 22 mini lighters for only $22.95). One or two logs should be enough for tonight. We'll see.

UGLY BETTY was a rerun this week, DR George, though you may not have seen the original broadcast.

Matt H. · « **Reply #205 on:** December 15, 2006, 08:09:31 PM »

We had a power loss at some point during the year, and it lasted for several hours. I went to bed and was awakened in the middle of the night by bright light once power was restored.

Matt H. · « **Reply #206 on:** December 15, 2006, 08:10:11 PM »

I continued with WHITE WILDERNESS when I went down. Entertaining to be sure.

Matt H. · « **Reply #207 on:** December 15, 2006, 08:11:41 PM »

Next I watched "Water Birds," another of the two reeler True-Life Adventures. Disney has done a masterful job in cleaning up and remastering the disc. I did a quick comparison to the version of "Water Birds" that's on THE RESCUERS DVD, and the difference is extraordinary.

JUSTICE had an intriguing case with Mykelti Williamson asking the man who convincted him of murder when the lasyer was the DA to now defend him against another murder charge.

At the end of the show, the actual murder of the victim of the week is shown so that we can see if the jury got it right or wrong. I took a wild stab in the dark as to the murderer's identity, and I guessed correctly, but there was absolutely no evidence presented during the show that would have pointed to this person. It was simply a wild guess.

Matt H. · « **Reply #209 on:** December 15, 2006, 08:15:43 PM »

Next I watched last night's GREY'S ANATOMY rerun. I had seen it before, but it was a particularly tender episode of the show (the one where Issy meets Denny's father), and I wanted to see it again. Made me cry this time just like it did the first time.
