And also for the lovely Grande Mensch himself...... could it work for you to write in the evening of Tuesday, April 24th for a dinner date at M&F ??  DR Mike B is supposed to be in L.A. that evening, and he has promised to keep that night free for a M&F dinner extravaganza.

We can eat shrimp cocktail shrimp, and crunchy veggies, and pickles, and pounded steak with country gravy, ........

Now.... if you can just get the original C.C. Brown's to re-open for dessert !!

DR JoseSPiano:

I think bk's advice above the best, but if you insist on calling, I found this information after trolling the web for a bit, though can't make any claims to its veracity:

*  *  *
Ebay list these numbers as their support phone numbers.

1-800-322-9266
1-888-749-3229 keep hitting 0 to get to the operator, trust me.
*  *  *
[singdaw again]
I tried calling the first one; it seems to be legit.  Hit option "2" for customer support...

I was trying to refer to the BUST on the piano, but knowing this crowd, had tried to word it without using the word BUST.

But cast subtlety away, I say!  :)

"Bust" would have been the most "subtle" word on the topic, apparently.

I guess we've learned that it's folly to cast subtleties after 9:00.....

DR MusicGuy, DH is home sick today. Some nasty bug that I hope I don't get. I have board meetings in the LA area this weekend.

I sure hope they book us at a different hotel. I haven't heard back from the office yet, except they received my email links with the travel reviews and they will look into it.

The reviews from previous hotel guests are amusing to read, except that I know I have a room reserved there.

My instinct is to confide in another co-worker and ask that, the next time it comes up, she be told that I have often stated how much I enjoy the alone time of the walk as a way of clearing my head.  Perhaps she'll grasp that.

"...and yet, he hasn't said anything to me that he likes to walk alone...  I guess he wants my company!  He must really like me!

Mrs. Pulliam...Mrs. Ron Pulliam...Mrs. Sylvia Pulliam...Mr. and Mrs. Ron and Sylvia Pulliam are delighted to announce the birth of their daughter, Carlotta..."

What to do?  What to do?  

I find myself in a curious situation.  One of my co-workers has decided that she is going to be part of my daily walks around the lake.

I've not invited her to join me.  I've not voiced any interest in being accompanied.  I've not blessed her vocalizations on the topic in any way.

Today she let me know she has brought in her "walking shoes" in anticipation of "our" walks.  She has even gone so far as to establish a set time for each walk.

However do I tell her I don't wish to walk with her?  This co-worker has a history of trying to ingratiate herself to folks and insertig herself into facets of their lives.  

I don't want to hurt any feelings, but....NO!

I would try to nicely explain that the lake is lovely and you can understand that she'd like to walk there, too, but this is your "private time," that you need to be alone to de-stress. some people pick up on such comments right away; others have to be hit between the eyes. I try to start nicely, then escalate only as is necessary. I don't think you'll have to tell her many times.

Fortunately, I've always gotten good check-ups, but I think I chipped a tooth, and I don't know when or how!  The bottom right corner of my front right tooth is a little jagged and it never used to be jagged.

Think maybe some of that bone crunching in CANNIBAL contributed to your problem?
