PAGE TWO

I see Jane left without posting, and whoever was with her left, too. I think some errant and truant hainsies/kimlets best get their butt cheeks back here pronto.

Thirty-one posts at one o'clock Eastern time is not what we like to see. It irks us. We do not wish to be irked. We wish to be irkless.

Well, I did get us to page two!

I think I must have slept very heavily last night (for probably the first time in a week). I woke up at 9:00 a.m., and my back was really hurting.

T.O.D.

My favorite would be THREE LITTLE WORDS, but I guess that would count as a musical. I will give the topic some more thought!

What are you talking about? I made two, count them-TWO-posts.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I believe I finally had a good night's sleep last night. -Even if I did end up sleeping until 12:30pm. -Maybe my body is currently on West Coast time?

He don't read no stinkin' posts.

Well, yes, but then you left without taking us to page two. Most unseemly, but I forgive you because soon you will have a birthday.

Has anyone sent anything express mail recently? I was told I can only send priority mail now. I called the USPS 800 number & he said I can still do express mail, yet the website says express isn't guaranteed. UPS will be more expensive to use but I would like the package to arrive by Wednesday. Since our post office is closed today I will ship on Monday, whichever I use.

DR TCB - Good to hear that you slept well too, and I'm sure your back will ease up/out as the day goes on.

Why is Jose's avatar so teeny-tiny - and no, that is not a euphemism.

How fast can we get to page three?

bk · « **Reply #48 on:** November 22, 2008, 10:14:59 AM »

I guess I should stop being lazy and go do the long jog - was just hoping for a bit more sun, because I gather I certainly won't be having any in NY. I do hope the hotel has a gym or exercise room, because if it's too too cold I'll have to do that rather than jog.

I never count the number of posts per page, don't even remember how many posts per page. Plus I had to call the post office & ups store.

LOL-I'm trying not to think of this birthday. It is going to be very strange to be older than my older sister.

Because I was teeny-tiny-er when I was 18 months old.

What exactly were you told? Has Express Mail been discontinued in general? Or was this just in regards to the package you need to get there by Wednesday? Were you trying to mail it this morning?

You can always check the "Commitments" page on usps.com to check out the when's and where's of the guaranteed delivery times.

Some areas do have "exemptions" from the "guaranteed next day" rule according to geographic areas and delivery routes. -I know that if I mail something to you in your part of Oregon from the DC area, the "commitment" is 2nd-day delivery not next-day for Express Mail. I even have friends in Charlottesville, VA, who usually do not receive "next-day" deliveries due to the way the delivery routes work.

-I'm also wondering if the USPS is still adjusting to the influx of business as a result of taking on some of the former DHL workload.

I also wanted to see if I saved my avatar in a different format - GIF instead of JPEF - made a difference in the sizing of the avatars.

I love the COMMITMENTS! I have all of their albums.

Boy the things you receive in your e-mail. I guess I should say I can now die happy, now that I have seen Prince William's willy.

I must say i was not so sure about the plot twist with Melinda's husband. But i really loved last night's episode. IT had me so beyond teary. It was really nice.
And i really loved how they used the part about delia's son playing basketball with jim to make delia a believer. Very emotional episode~

As for the Topic of the Day...

I'm a sucker for almost any piano, piano player related movie:

"The Competition" - All those glissandos in the Prokofiev concerto!
"Madame Sousatzka" - The title character reminds me so much of my piano teacher in college. The both have very exotic last names.

"Food of Love" - Based on David Leavitt's "The Page Turner".
"The Page Turner" ("La Tourneuse de Pages") - Not based on David Leavitt's "The Page Turner".
"Un Couer en Hiver" ("A Heart in Winter") - Ravel's chamber music has never been sexier.
"The Pianist"

"Le Maître de Musique" ("The Music Teacher") - This one revolves around a voice teacher and his student. The great Belgian baritone, Jose van Dam, plays the titles character - and he sings in the movie too.
"Mr. Holland's Opus"

And I'm really hoping that the upcoming screen adaption of "The Soloist" is not ruined by another self-absorbed, self-indulged performance by Jamie Foxx. The (audio)book made me cry - and it truly is "based on a true story" - and the movie better make me cry too.

It snowed. Therefore there is snow covering my driveway. I must go move it and feed the birds.
