I don't like guns either...but I do keep one in the house.

You never know when you might need it.

Burglars...Home invaders...Wives who talk back....

Don't forget lamp destroying cats!

Dog = Good
Gun = Bad

The Insurance companies would not agree. Some will cancel a home owner's policy if you own certain breed of dog (Pit. Rottie, etc) - the have no objection to a house full of guns.

I napped in the recliner for a good part of the day and tehn I watched the first disc from my Christmas present from Vixdad - the complete Upstairs Downstairs all 68 episodes - it also includes all 13 episoded of Sarah & James - the followup series

I was suprised to see that the first episode was in colour but the next three were black & white

DR Jane, the drive in the fog wasn't that scary to me, just tiring. Every one was driving very slowly and I did know where I was even if I couldn't see it. I chose to drive through that rather than risk driving on slick roads. That scares me a lot more

JMK - I don't think anyone brought in the mail today! Since it's nearly 11 PM and I'm in my jammies, I think I 'll leave it until the AM - we have one of those big rural mailboxes so whateveris in there should be safe.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #219 on:** December 26, 2008, 07:48:58 PM »

When I arrived home tonight I had a number of Christmas and Holiday cards from several DRs and other friends. What fun!

Cillaliz · « **Reply #220 on:** December 26, 2008, 07:49:41 PM »

I bought one of those big rural mailboxes but haven't put it up. I really need to do that.

I hope Elmore is safe driving in the fog tonight. I am glad to hear that Cilla made it home safely.

Has anyone heard from Danise? The last I saw of her she was feeling quite poorly

I hope they get the dog.

So do I - particularly since the SPCA had a miserable selection - and their kennel area is vile smelling beyond belief!

Notice - it's much easier to get a puppy-mill dog from the pet store; and once they've spent three months in the store cage awaiting adoption, they go for a discount price.

Thanks Vixmom..I'm really glad you didn't have to have the surgery.

Good evening. I just home from the hospital. I doubt that Stan will make it thru the weekend. Chances are he won't make it thru the night. His kidneys have completely shut-down, and the other organs are starting to follow. He had several seizures this afternoon that were pretty frightening. When Mark and I left him tonight, they had just given him some morphine to ease his labored breathing.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts, prayers, and vibes.

Watched two radically different movies tonight.

I began with DISTURBIA which was about 40% good and the rest irritating and outrageous. And I think the two young people in the film had about the least chemistry in a movie that I've seen in awhile. And, of course, the entire problem with the neighbor could have been avoided if the mother and son had TALKED to each other, long before things got out of hand. Of course, if they had done that, there would have been no film.

I found that Disturbia was about 0% good - one of the all-time clunkers. Literally hated every second of it - as I wrote here when I was unfortunate enough to see it.

bk · « **Reply #238 on:** December 26, 2008, 08:20:11 PM »

I'm figuring out what I should watch next.

Matt H. · « **Reply #239 on:** December 26, 2008, 08:22:38 PM »

Next, I put in the Blu-ray of A ROOM WITH A VIEW. I've had the Blu-ray for months, but just hadn't gotten around to watching it. It's a near-masterpiece with superb casting, gorgeous photography, and such a terrific sense of time and place. I always love revisiting it.

It isn't the sharpest Blu-ray I have in my collection, but it's worlds better than the DVD I had.

The sound is DTS-HD High Resolution. I think this is the ONLY disc I own that has that flavor of DTS surround sound. Most Blu-rays that use DTS use DTS-HD Master Audio which is actually the highest lossless codec available for DTS. Yet, the DTS-HD HR sounded just as good to my ears, especially with the sound mix that isn't about things blowing up or obects flying around the room.
