BeeGee seems a little more like his "normal" self (such as that is, LOL) today.  We're still on pins and needles wondering if this weird bloat will recur as suddenly as it did yesterday.  Hopefully not.  We're going to get the stomach attaching surgery done probably next week.  Thanks to all for their good wishes.
Dear DR JMK - Please give BeeGee a pet from me.  And healing sniffs and licks in improper areas from Marty, Mikey, Bonnie, Buster and Fletcher.

One Christmas memory I have is of the year I was single, between husbands. I usually loved to decorate for Christmas and have been collecting ornaments for many years. But that Christmas I was pretty depressed. An old high school friend who seemed interested in being more than friends was shocked that I wasn't putting up a tree.

The week before Christmas, the grocery store was giving away free trees, trying to get rid of them. Even though I still didn't feel like putting up a tree, I thought, "well, it's free..." and crammed it into my Toyota and brought it home. I left it laying in the yard beside my house for several days, still unmotivated to bring it inside. My friend stopped by and saw the poor tree. He said "That's pathetic. You should at least put it up outside even if you don't want to decorate it." So he helped me put up the tree on the porch. Having it there, even undecorated, gave me a bit more Christmas spirit, because it smelled so good.

I went to my father's on Christmas eve. When I came home I discovered the tree was decorated. It was sparse, with lots of cheap plastic baubles, but I was very touched that my friend felt it was important to do that.

The next year I was with Greg and back to decorating a tree indoors. But since we've acquired a herd of cats, I'm not sure when we'll ever have a tree indoors again. Not that I'd have time to decorate it, but I do love a tree in the house! (I guess the people in Washington aren't saying that right now...)

Lovely, lovely story!
What a moving way to show that "someone cares!".

Today when I purchased a white feather boa to be used as a prop in tomorrow's Christmas concert, the clerk asked me if I was going out tonight. I told her yes, that I would be partying with my feather boa and leopard-spotted tights. She looked horrified.
It would be more politically correct, not to mention exotic, if you were instead wearing a snake-skin boa, with the snake still in it!

The day here is beyond glorious...the sun is shining, the air is sweet.  The temp is around F 68 degrees.... F 75 in sunny spots.  The surface of the pond is smooth and reflective.

It's like a little piece of heaven.

While I do send warmth & safety vibes to all of our forum family in the Pac NW,  knowing that the ex is likely freezing his tushy off makes me rather happy.

My goodness, I've been gone for a long time!

What a saga! I finally made up my mind that I was going to dive into one of the high def DVD formats, and I've chosen Blu-Ray. It has support of more studios than its rival format HD-DVD. Its discs have more storage capacity. It has the mighty Sony behind it. Sony lost out with Betamax, but it seems to be on the right side of the fence this time out. Tape recording time was the key to the win/loss in the VHS/Beta war, and I'm guessing greater capacity discs and almost full studio support (of the major studios, only Universal does not support Blu-Ray currently) will tip the scales toward Blu-Ray in this war.

At any rate, the cheapest Blu-Ray player out there is the Playstation 3 videogame machine, and we know how rare a species they are right now. But there are THOUSANDS of them for sale at Ebay, and for fun, I've been putting my lowball bids in (more for fun than anything; always below list price which practically assured I wouldn't win; folks wanted $1000 for $500 machines).

Wouldn't you know it? I was the second highest bidder on a machine yesterday, and the winner didn't claim his prize, so the seller offered me a Second Chance offer with my lowball/under retail bid as the winning bid! So, I'm going to be watching high definition DVDs within the next week or two. I had to wire the money through Western Union, and I had never done this before, so I was out and about taking care of this earlier today.

I had time for only two DVD viewings today. I finshed up with HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES (1939) which I started last night. When it was over, I went back to selected scenes and listened to the commentary. I had heard the commentary before, too, but had forgotten some of the points. I never knew until this commentary that Richard Greene, who played Sir Henry, also played Sir Hugo in the flashback story.

Since I only had one disc to go in the MURDER SHE WROTE fourth season box, I put it in and watched the first episode on that disc. This one had Jessica visiting her niece (Kristy MacNichol) who was dating one of the rodeo cowboys. Larry Wilcox, Paul LeMat, and Terry Kiser were others in the guest cast.

There are two more episodes on that disc, and then I have the 1938 A CHRISTMAS CAROL set out to watch. It's only 69 minutes, so should be able to squeeze in something else tonight, too.

I just stopped by the library to let everyone know that I am alive and well.  The power is back on for me (but not a lot of people), but I have no phone or internet service.  The kids and I survived the storm unscathed.  I did see Jed and Ann briefly yesterday, and they, too, made it through.  I hope to be back on line in a few days.

Hugs to all,

When was the last time someone came to your home under professional circumstances, stayed 30 minutes and solved an appliance problem -- including recommending against doing anything unnecessary -- and then charged you only $25?

Hello DR Ann (and Jed).  Life is not a train.  It is "catching up".

I enjoyed watching The Beales of Grey Gardens today. It really gives a much different perspective of Little Edie.  She actually leaves Grey Gardens several times.  The relationship between the two Edies seemed warmer to me.   Amazing what editing can do.  

I would recommed it to anyone who has seen the film Grey Gardens and would recommend both to anyone who has seen the musical but not the movies.
