NOVELTY ITEMS
« on: August 09, 2009, 12:14:45 AM »

Well, you've read the notes, the notes had items and novelty, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently trying to find some fake vomit to amuse their family and friends.

And to start the topics - what were your favorite novelty items or toys from your childhood?  Did you ever send away for them, or did you find them at the five and dime?

                                       7000!



Once again I will like thank DR Jose for all his help regarding the MAC. I did use google, but didn't know about Ask Google. It took a while, but I found the right program and the right information so that I can use IMOVIE. Now I have to learn how to edit and looking forward to it.

I wanted to make this posting count

Good morning, all! I am supposed to have brunch with my DC freind, Darrel Karl, this morning, but I considering canceling it. Last night was not a good night. I dobt that I slept more than a couple of hours. I ran out of the industrial strength Ibuprofen yesterday morning, and I'm trying to wean myself off all of the meds and, at the same time, trying to return to a semblance of my usual life. I went to bed at 10, couldn't sleep, and took the muscle relaxer and Vicodin around 12:30. I should have taken a Tylenol PM earlier because, around 3 am I waas still awake. My next memory is that it was close to 5 am because I could see the sky getting lighter. Then it 7:30, and I stayed in bed until 8:30 or so. I have a long day on crutches, or crutch if I only take one, and the brunch is my one non-requisite, much as I want to spend time with a good friend, and I may cancel. Otherwise, it will mean standing on a crutch at one of the local restaurants waiting for a table. Oy!

Color me crabby.

BK, I"m enjoying reading about your LOST trek.

It's too bad that it's been so long for me since i've watched these shows (more than 2 years since the season 3 finale). So i mostly cannot remember what happened when. But i did go back just now to the televisionwithoutpity recaps to see what the season 3 ending was all about. Yep that was a great one. So sad! So confusing!

Well last night's audience was VERY quiet and unresponsive.  The first big musical number finished with NO "huge gaps" as were present at some other show I heard about.  Don Quixote and Sancho finished singing "I Don Quixote" - the horse and the burro stopped dancing.  The actors said "Whoa!"...the pit stopped playing.....and the audience....just.....sat....there.....

It was a long evening.  Hopefully today's matinee will be more lively audience wise.

DR JMK do you remember Herb Alpert on The Hollywood Palace in December 1967 with Brasilai '66 and Liza Minnelli?

DR JRand58, what an appalling story! I would love to think they were so stunned by the imaginative approach that they were dumbfounded. I hope their lack of response didn't throw off the cast too much.

Good morning!

Another hot day here: temps in the mid-90s. Looks like all of August is going to be like this, and no rain in the forecast at all until Wednesday when there's a 30% chance.

I was up this morning and out mowing my front yard at 7 a.m. I had to get it done since parts of the yard were very overgrown (other parts hadn't grown much at all despite the rain). Glad to have that behind me. There was some aching and pain, but not too bad.

The LOST episode that contaned both a flashback and flashforward (Sun-Jin episode) was one of the greatest of the series. It was a HUGE surprise to me when that was revealed.

I will continue with the DEXTER episodes today. I won't be able to finish them this afternoon. If I'm lucky, I can get four done, so will have to finish it up and do the BD-Live supplements this evening.

I plan to watch PSYCH while I eat lunch, and tonight before I watch my show, I'll continue watching VERTIGO which I started rewatching yesterday.

DR Matt H, I'm happy to hear you are feeling better. My meds just kicked in.

I think we are in for some precipitation here very soon. It's quite dark outside.

Note to Cillaliz:

About 7 years ago I had a fairly nasty gall bladder attack (I was driving and had to pull off to the shoulder to curl up in pain and vomit on the ground). The Dr. sent me for an ultrasound which confirmed gall stones. I then went to a Surgeon who set me up to have my gall bladder removed. I was led to believe it would be laparoscopic outpatient surgery. The pre-op briefing from the Dr. suggested that, at my age,  "outpatient" was a "maybe" and that after they had me on the table they may decide to do a full dice and slice and keep me in the hospital for a few days.

I never scheduled the surgery.

I have had no problems since.

Well, you're being slowed down a bit might explain why you didn't throw a shoe at the TV during Evan's shenanigans on Royal Pains Thursday.
