DR Jose, thanks for the facebook button.  I also have a button and t-shirt, but something tells me they don't look like DR Elmore's

I bet you fill out the t-shirt better than he does

I was actually quite pleased when they gave me the shirt yesterday because it's a size smaller than I usually wear

...and needed a WW fudge bar to be able to complete the task.

You had a candy bar saved from The Great War?

Girls like you...chocolates and nylons...what can I say?

Yeah right...no a Weight Watchers Frozen Fudge bar. They taste great and are only 1 point

Bet you don't remember "points" from the days of WWII.


 
Porterhouse steak 1lb -  12 points
Hamburger 1lb - 7 points
Butter 1lb - 16 points
American cheese 1lb - 8 points

Next I watched CHARLIE CHAN IN RIO. I had never seen this mystery, and once again I was able to pick up on an early vital clue and tab the murderer long before the identity was revealed.

There is only one more Chan mystery in this last box: CASTLE IN THE DESERT, another CHan I have never seen before.

I got an e-gift certificate to Barnes and Noble, which I used to get the new Chan box.  I was very surprised to see it at my doorstep a mere 2 days after I placed the order--much faster than Amazon ever has been.

Most of the transfers look really sensational. Despite Fox's warnings that they used the best available material to fashion the DVD (which usually suggests a rocky time ahead) , some of them are flawless and all that I've watched in this set are no less than good.

I'm hopping off-line now to do some writing and then will head downstairs to clean my bathroom, put away the already folded laundry, and then get back to movies.

Good afternoon all.  Well, Jed's mother just left.  She came over for his birthday weekend, and gave us a great present.  She babysat the little man so Jed and I could go out to dinner last night.  We went to Red Lobster and gorged ourselves on shrimp.  I enjoyed my first tasty beverage, a strawberry daquiri, since I got pregnant with Toby.  It was lovely.  DMIL (Dear Mother In Law) was thrilled to be have the time to just sit and hold Toby and stare at him.  She is quite smitten with this little baby boy.  She also brought a chocolate birthday cake for Jed, which is delicious.  She went home about an hour ago, Jed's watching the Seahawks try not to blow it, and I'm holding a sleeping Toby and listening to Harry Potter/Askaban on my itunes. 

Hope all is well around here!

Sunday afternoon greetings!  After church today, we had a lo-o-o-ong meeting (where lunch was served) and Richard and I stopped to see my mom and aunt on the way home.  Now, we have to pack for our graduation journey to Wisconsin tomorrow.  This evening will be a "pack 'n' post" one for me.

...put away the already folded laundry...

How is it you always seems to have "already folded laundry" and never seem to have a hamper full of dirty clothes - I suspect House Elves!

Happiest of birthdays to DR Jed!

A great big Happy Birthday to DRJed!

DR Jose, it changed a couple years ago

When do We Put the Clocks Back? Prior to 2007, people the United States always set their clocks forward an hour on the first Sunday in April and set their clocks back an hour on the last Sunday in October to observe Daylight Savings Time rules. However, as of the year 2007, Daylight Savings Time began to change and is now in place between the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November a change of only a few weeks. In 2007, the clocks will be set back on November 4th. This change was made as a result of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which was designed to lower the use of energy for heating and illuminating homes.

"People of the United States" does not include the non-aboriginals in Arizona.

The natives of Indiana have finally got with the program

Isn't there some part of Michigan that doesn't change?

Having a nice, lazy Sunday. Watched an early 1930s movie I DVR'd off TCM called THE CIRCUS QUEEN MURDER, which was quite entertaining.

Now I am catching up with this weeks episode of LIFE ON MARS. I understand that the ratings on this show have plummeted....oh well, I will enjoy it while it lasts.

[George]

Today I have been doing nothing but watching TV.  The only shows that I have left are this past Wednesday's episodes of "Private Practice" and "Dirty Sexy Money," then tonight's shows, "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" (maybe), "Desperate Housewives" and "Brothers & Sisters."  Also, I want to watch "Mad Men" when it's available on hi-def.  After all that, both of my DVRs will be empty.  I've never had that happen before.  I love it when I have days like this...they're so few and far between, especially since I start rehearsal tomorrow night!

[George]

But now, I'm off to my sister's house.  I have some dishes and some other stuff of hers that I need to return to her.

Be back later!

[bk]

Back from rehearsal, which was fine.  A bit sloppy, but I spoke strongly after, and they stayed to clean up the staging.  I think we'll be fine for tomorrow night.

[Laura]

We also had a long meeting after church -- the regular fall meeting. One woman who recently began attending church has been attending all of our meetings and speaks at great length about things that are not relevant to the business at hand. At great length.

[bk]

Happy to say I finished the lighting script - did half before I left and half when I got back.  All remaining packages are now ready for the post office, and I'm just waiting for my short visit with Hisaka, and then I'll get something amusing to eat.  But, here is what's NOT amusing:

PAGE FOUR!

I find it annoying and irksome and I will personally bitch-slap each and every errant and truant Wazoo who is currently causing us to have our lowest posting day ever.  STOP IT NOW.

[td]

I had a meeting today, too, DR Laura.  I looked at the clock in the kitchen and it said 10:40am.  I said something unprintable before saying that I had to be at Mulligan's ten minutes earlier.  I dived into a pair of shows, tossed on my WICKED cap, slid into my leather jacket and hit the road.  (fortunately, the road did not hit back).  I made the meeting for the final forty minutes.

I

could

try to break up a post into several short ones. . .

Steelers lost.

We need more posts.

Td, it's such a shame that you had to miss ANY time in a meeting.

Well, since it was a "fall" meeting, maybe someone should have given her a good push

Cardinals lost, too, I understand.

[Jrand73]

DR LAURA perhaps the chair would do well to NOT recognize her.

I'm blaming it on the NyQuil.
