Oh, and I'm up. It's very gray out. Looks like it might even rain, which means I should probably get the jog done asap - I'll try to be out doing it by ten or so.

The Jar is the other Hitchcock hour that is brilliant - and also one of the greatest hour-long episodes of a TV series ever. It, too, has a score by Herrmann and is brilliantly directed with great performances by Pat Buttram and especially Colin Wilcox as Thedy Sue. Based on a Ray Bradbury story. Or, to put it the way this generation puts it - based off a Ray Bradbury store. I gotta tell you.

Great new canine, DR CP.

Thanks to DR DRUXY and MR BK....I can now say Fohsh with authority.

Take off your shoes and make friends.

THE JAR really scared me when I saw so many years ago....and I haven't watched it since.

It's a Disney movie day which means lots of dead pets and closeups of animals' butts.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And not only is the Internet out again - which isn't bugging me that much today - but I just had to call the landlord to remind her to call the oil company since there's been no heat for the past 24 hours. $:-\$ Thankfully, I have a very toasty down comforter.

Perhaps there are some other needy neighbors with whom you could possibly share your comforter.

Hi all!

A very BIG Happy Birthday to our DR Jane!

I feel horrible that I forgot to mail your birthday card. I was so used to the old computer popping up with important dates at least a week before they occur to give me time to do things that I didn't get it done. I'm so sorry.

...My father... did ...Mr. Arthur O'Connell's taxes. In fact, he brought the latter to the Westwood sneak preview of The First Nudie Musical.

I am suddenly wondering what would have happened if your father had brought Mr. O'Connell to the set of The First Nudie Musical. A cameo, perhaps?

I have just roasted some chestnuts (alas not on an open fire) and they are fairly good. I say fairly because for what ever reason, they don't have any salt taste to them at all despite the fact that I cut the X's in them and soaked them all night in salt water.

I own a copy of the DVD "The Scarecrow Of Romney Marsh" Special Edition. It is sitting on my shelf still in it's wrapper. One of at least twenty or so DVD's that I have yet to even open.

No, it makes you a lucky heathen.

DR singdaw - Yes, you're a heathen. But is that really new news?

I'm afraid I have to agree with Jose. You are a heathen.

Only because I haven't met one person who hasn't seen that movie and can't identify with at least one scene from it.

For me, it's the bit about the fathers cursing. My Dad didn't have the furnace to fight, it was the car. I remember the choice words he used when he was working on the car.

Mom would go outside and tell him 'Danny, please the neighbours will hear you!"

Of course at that point, he also had some choice words about what the neighbours could do about it!

Nigel is a purebred Yorkshire Terrier, about 6 months old...still has a bit of piddling problem, but we're working on that. Otherwise spunky and energetic with lots of Personality, as the Cole Porter song goes.

Not quite sure why I can't that picture of Nigel full-size in the body of the post. But if you double-click, it brings it up bigger.

Danise · « **Reply #83 on:** December 07, 2008, 10:08:25 AM »

Congrats on the new dog, Dr Charles Pogue. May you both have many years of love and companionship.

The "thumbnail" is standard for this "new board". It allows you to post larger size pics now without throwing the board into VistaVision. You must have been out of class that day.

DR DANISE - it is not your responsibility if the doggie takes the walk. He has a whole week, and I think people who come in looking for pets are encouraged to look at the dogs on the line first.

And if he bit someone, no matter how nice he seemed on the day you saw him, there is something in his nature that is unpredictable and could make him difficult for you to own.

Impending doom - no matter how tragic - is not a motive to adopt a pet.

Before I go...

I know, DR JRand but what gets me is when an animal bites someone, it's always their fault and they pay the price with their life. Everyone, including animals, can have a bad day and we don't know what the human did to spark that bite. For all we know, he or she may have deserved it.

Wouldn't it be a horrible thing if WE were put down or marked for the rest of of lives for one small mistake.

I'm going to be praying extra hard this week that the dog gets it's 2nd chance at life but if it is still there come Saturday, I just may have a new addition to my small family. I can't stand by when a life is in the balance and do nothing.

I have a feeling that no matter the size and manner of the crowd, DR elmore will find something "horrifying" about it.

*Hmm... Only since I studied the schedules for yesterday, it's being shown in Times Square at 2:00, but it's at Lincoln Plaza at 2:35. Hope you made to wherever you ended up.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #89 on:** December 07, 2008, 10:26:39 AM »

DR Danise - Soaking chestnuts in salt water doesn't really "salt" them. The salt in the soaking water helps to draw out any extra moisture in the chestnuts. Any "saltiness" is just a result of any soaking water left in the chestnut. Since you're diluting the salt in water, you would have to add a copious amount of salt in order to make a difference. However...

If you start off the soak in warm(!) salted water, that will help a little. Or you could soak them in salted water, then bring them up to boil in the salted water for a minute or two. Then take them out of the water and put them in the oven to roast.

Or just REALLY salt the water. -Of course, as for salt and sodium... Didn't you see the article I posted earlier?

*Personally, I like my chestnuts on the sweet side.
