DR JOSE - please pick up any stray Twelfth Night papers or programs for the needy in the MidWest.

DR Jrand - Always.

Thank you DR JOSE....and yes, I do have tickets for Monday...198 tickets....but I don't have a show.

DR George, I bet the new glasses look good on you.  I like the look, just not on me.

Thanks, Jane...of course, you might not like the look on you, but others might like the look on you. :)

True, but since Keith is one who doesn't like them on me I doubt I'll be getting a pair.  I saw some yesterday I thought were cute.  They weren't totally clear, the nose & ear pieces were a bright rich red.  I didn't try them on since I still have my cold.  We were at the office for Keith to replace his glasses he lost in St. Petersburg.  After we had planned to take a long walk in town with Sherlock only the weather turned chilly & wet so it was a very, very short walk.

Warning for DVD rentals:

MY DH tried renting a movie from Red Box (a new movie rental service that is available in places like grocery stores, Wal-Mart, etc., that offers supposedly quick, easy rentals and returns for only $1 per movie).

It was quick, easy both renting and returning the movie and for only $1 as claimed --- but a major problem/issue:

The day after he returned the movie, our credit card was denied when he was making a purchases at another store. When he called our credit card company to see what the deal was, they claimed they tried to call us (of course there was no message on our machine) -- anyway, they claim our credit card had been "compromised" when we rented the movie from Red Box.

To make my long story short: Our credit card company has had a rash of their customers who have rented a $1 movie through Red Box end up with another charge of $500 charge to Red Box show up on their cards later (and of course, these customers had not rented 500 movies at a pop ...)

Moral: Renter beware -- if it's too good to be true, it probably is ...

I am awake and heading to work.  That is all. 

Oh!  and the NEW policy where I work:  you can no longer get a Rewards Card if you don't have an email address. . . .this comes from corporate.

We just got notice that for our payroll, direct deposit will be manditory...no more printed checks.  I've had direct deposit for years, so it's not an issue, but there have been some strong opinions being expressed in e-mails.  Administration says that it's a done deal...it's not optional.

I remember all the bitching when pay day went from cash to check!

Which leads me to wonder why haven't the credit card companies sent a notice to their customers and/or the places (grocery stores, Wal Marts, etc.) or to the press to warn people --

I mean, I'm very glad when our card company keeps an eye on this sort of stuff and freezes our card when they suspect something -- someone was using our card in some foreign country not long ago and we got denied and had the temporary hassle then of having to get a new card) -- but we wouldn't have used Red Box had we known, I'm just saying ...

I have been renting from REDBOX regularly for over a year and have never had a problem - sounds like somebody hacked your local Redbox service.

George, I like your new frames. I've been buying Silhouette frames for many years. I'm difficult to fit and Silhouette usually gives me a good fit. They are well-made frames, I keep them for many, many years, and I've never had any problem with them. A good choice for you, I think.

I'm sure there are - but that's no reason to slander a company for an Arizona problem. If you're that afraid of your card being hacked, cancel them all.

Well, it was a true story (not from second or third parties) and I'm the type of person who only needs to get burned once -- and as I said in my earlier post, I would have like to be warned --

and then that makes the point that the credit card companies need to let Red Box know the issues their customers are having with their boxes in Arizona (although it could be other states too because the card person my DH spoke to didn't indicate it was a rash of charges in only one tiny town out in the boonies of AZ that had them freezing all of their customers cards because they suspect potential Red Box over charges )

We didn't get a $500 charge -- the card company froze the card because apparently they had enough of this happening that a Red Box charge was a trigger/red flag. Red Box may be completely innocent if indeed it's hacker related, but this is what happened with us and our credit card -- and I won't be taking that chance again that it's a hacker, Red Box, aliens, Big Foot or whatever.

Hmm.. The picture of Anne Hathaway that accompanies the Playbill.com article is... well... is sort of "strange"... well... not that flattering... at least to my eyes...


I have to agree.  It isn't all that bad, only we know there are far better photos of her.

I would be thrilled beyond belief if a photo of me looked like that.
