Slander is spreading false stories, what happened with our credit card company is true -- it actually happened to us, and is not second or third party. My intent was not to pick on anyone -- so I'm sorry, DerB if they are a favorite company -- I had a bad experience and know I would have liked to know this happens, but I will certainly watch what I post in the future.

Hello. Miss K!
Sorry about your awful experience with Redbox. I hope you've got lots of positives going on as well!

Damn damn damn! On May 17 I ordered a very expensive Offenbach score from Travis&Emery in london through abebooks.com; for the extra postage I paid, it should have arrived by now. I am very unhappy about this and don't know what to do next.

Offenbach delivery vibes to Larry!

Must get back to work.

Stay calm and positive vibes to BK, Adam, and any DRs who need them.

Miss Karen thanks for sharing. I don't use RED BOX, but I have heard of it. Who knows how it happened.....but no one should have to go through what happened to you.

I'll take good news whatever the source:

On the O'Reilly Factor, Bill and Dennis Miller were discussing the story about the gay penguins in the German Zoo, and the plan to import Lesbian penguins to try and "straighten" things out.

O'Reilly twice noted that if God made the Penguins gay, we should leave them alone to be themselves.

Bill also asked "How do you know a Penguin is Gay - do they wear tight T-Shirts

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...

THat looks more like Claire Danes. Either that or Anne had just paid a visit to Dr. Bo Tox of 91210.

Meow.

I won't (and I didn't take it as being snippy -- you like 'em and I'm jiggy with that, and people need to know there are two sides to every story -- it's called being fully informed)

Yes, I believe adding a couple of lesbian penguins will straighten out the gay males.

I got my Blu Ray discs of QUANTUM OF SOLACE and VIVA LAS VEGAS today....I shall watch them tonight after KISS ME KATE

They both look great! You'll be particularly pleased with VIVA LAS VEGAS since it's never looked all that good on home video before.

Miss Karen · « **Reply #139 on:** June 11, 2009, 01:16:20 PM »

The Texas trip is the reason I won't be at The First Nudie Musical reading -- I would have liked to have seen the difference from experiencing it in bk's living room to seeing it staged on risers in a theatre -- break a leg!

I liked the photo of Anne Hathaway, but a quick comb through her hair before the pic was snapped might have been nice.

However, a lot of ladies seem to like that touseled look. I don't like it.

Matt H. · « **Reply #141 on:** June 11, 2009, 01:22:32 PM »

Hot and muggy is the name of the game here today. I drove the gang for lunch, and I had to have the car AC on and cracked up becuase of the very humid conditions. And it's JUST early June. Argh!

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.

Thanks! Like I wrote earlier, I had the last frames for probably 10 years. I hope that these last that long.

When I got in from lunch, I immediately sat down to finish the seventh disc in the LOST Blu-ray set.

Argh! There were TWO episodes left rather than one. This meant that I didn't get finished with the bonus features this afternoon and WILL be continuing with them tonight.

Matt H. · « **Reply #146 on:** June 11, 2009, 01:26:24 PM »

Yes, the season one finale was a three part episode (represented on the disc as three 43-minute episodes). Grand, moving, exciting, memorable, but I was only expecting one.

Matt H. · « **Reply #147 on:** June 11, 2009, 01:27:49 PM »

Of the bonus features I've watched thus far, the most interesting were the audition tapes for the 13 leading actors on the show. What was fascinating was seeing actors reading for a role they didn't end up playing. Matthew Fox reading for Sawyer. Yunjin Kim reading for Kate. Jorge Garcia reading for Sawyer! Priceless!

Miss Karen · « **Reply #148 on:** June 11, 2009, 01:29:16 PM »

Holy Moly all kinds of vibes have been needed as of late -- some of the most recent:

"Domestic Bliss" vibes to DR Enabler and Monkey

"Dixie Bell Back to Ol' Self" vibes to DR td

"The Perfect Kitty Is Still Out There Waiting For You" vibes to DR TCB

And all kinds of good vibes to those that need 'em

Matt H. · « **Reply #149 on:** June 11, 2009, 01:29:31 PM »

They had behind the scenes featurettes on 10 of the 25 episodes. There is an entire making-of featurette on the shooting of the pilot but I haven't gotten to it yet.
