DR George,

When you said that your library never had late fees. Did you mean for everyone or just for employees?

My library has late fees (it is something like $2 a day for dvds). But it does not apply to people who work at the library. I don't like this rule, because twice it's happened that librarians took out dvds that other people had reserved and they did not bring them back (and i'm not talking one day late).

The fines are for everyone, including staff. We had never charged ANY late fines before this...just for lost or damaged items. And if a lost item was paid for and returned within a year, the patron could get his/her money back for the replacement cost (not the late fees)! This still applies, so that's good. Click HERE for a .pdf of FAQs for our new fines.

WHAT?!?! Your library never had any late fees? REALLY!?!?

That's just crazy talk.

It's "crazy" no more. We also used to be able to have up to 200 items checked out at one time and have up to 100 holds placed on items. That also is no more. The limits now are only 50 items checked out at one time and 25 holds placed.

I didn't mind the MAD MEN episode quite as much as some others. I do like it better when we are at Sterling Cooper for most of the action.

Betty had obviously seen LA DOLCE VITA and a couple of other Italian films - she looked quite au courant in her black outfit with the hair all teased up. And I like how Don pretended to pick her up. I also liked her Jackie Kennedy pink outfit when they first arrived. The Pete story - only there I guess to get him to Bonwit Teller to find Joan - who looked fabulous, but needs to get back to S/C as quickly as possible.

Betty was fabulous. I was wondering if they would bring Joan back to S/C to take over for the woman who caused the riding lawn mower "incident." She certainly isn't staying.

They will undoubtedly find some way for Joan to rejoin S/C. She's far too valuable an asset to the firm (AND THE SHOW) to lose her at Bonwit's. However, I disagree that we only were clued in to Pete's dress dilemma to find out about Joan. I think the dress business and the nanny dalliance planted a seed for the beginning of the end of his marriage. He's screwing around in his own apartment building, and the neighbors know it. Don't think for a minute it won't come back to that spoiled wife of his.

I'm pretty sure that Joan will end up back at S/C somewhere down the line.

And as for Pete and that dress, well... I wonder if das Baby could possibly be on the way?

*During one of my rare visits to Boston to see my godmother, I remember going to Bonwit Teller with her. -This was about 20(?) years ago. She was picking up a dress that had been altered for her - I think she was attending a wedding that weekend. It was truly one of the fanciest stores I've ever been in. -I just looked up the history of the store, and this must have been after Bonwit Teller had relocated to the very upscale Back Bay on Boylston Street. (I remember Boylston Street address.) We entered a salon-like room, we sat down, they brought the dress out for her, showed it to her, and then walked her and the dress to a dressing room. A few minutes later, she came out with the dress on and stood in front of the mirrors. All was good. She then returned to the dressing room, and after a few more minutes, she returned to the salon. Her "dresser" then followed us to the car carrying the dress for her. Fancy!

I think there is a limited supply of the seasonal vaccine right now, but everyone seems to be focusing on the H1N1 vaccine since that seemed to be the most pressing concern. *Of course, after the breakouts of H1N1 we had here in NYC over the summer, there have been no confirmed cases of H1N1 over the past few weeks. -At least that's what I think i head on the news.

A major online retailer has just sent me a SECOND copy of the WIZARD OF OZ set, and the invoice shows no charge. Color me majorly confused--is this a birthday present? I'll have to call them and find out what's up.

I'd like a belated birthday present.

I called my health care this morning, to be told the flu shots were not being given until Oct 31! I could be dead of the flu by then.

DR JoseSPiano - don't forget!!

This Thursday at 8pm, WNYC will re-launch WQXR on 105.9 FM as a public radio station dedicated to classical music.

Trust me, I won't forget. -Although, I will miss the current "splash" graphic announcing the move up the dial.

*The bigger thing for me will be keeping track of the changes in programming on WNYC. I'm looking forward to having "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me" added to the Saturday FM lineup after "Car Talk".

I noticed that CBS has ordered 13 more episodes of FLASHPOINT. Added to the 9 unaired episodes they already have, they now have a complete season of the show they can air.

The problem is, they have a schedule with no weaknesses. Right now, every series (with the possible exception of Jenna Elfman's new comedy and GARY UNMARRIED) are operating at or above acceptable ratings for the time period where they've been placed.

They may try FLASHPOINT in NUMB3RS' timeslot just to see what it does in the ratings. NUMB3RS has been on long enough that it's getting expensive to produce, and FLASHPOINT would save them a lot of money if the ratings are the same.

I don't watch this show. But until you posted this i thought CBS had been showing the new episodes this Fall (since it's been running here). I guess it's only been running in canada.

DRs Jane and Laura,

re: the flu shots.

I think usually here we get them in november. BUt we can't get them as easily as you seem to. We have to go to a clinic.

I haven't read anything yet about when they start in my area (i will check in tomorrow's paper). But my sister said that she was told that they did not want to give both sets of shots at the same time. I don't think they offer them in sept/early oct like you guys get them.

I got 3 more movies from the library. Last night i watched MILK which i had never seen.

I will say i thought sean penn was amazing. I can't even imagine watching this movie without him. It was a good movie. Although not exactly my cup of tea.

Tonight i watched TAKEN with Liam Neeson. I enjoyed it. Although i wish they could have done it without so much violence. And i totally don't get how he could take on all the bad guys alone. He should have had a team!

I also got FROST/NIXON which i never saw.

Speaking of reminders, TCM is showing YOLANDA AND THE THIEF tomorrow morning at 10am. I know that the film has its fans, myself included, here on HHW.

I agree with you, DR Jennifer regarding TAKEN, but, let's admit it, it's just a popcorn movie, one that really should not be taken too seriously.
I probably liked MILK much more than you did, finding everything about it fascinating, especially its incredible attention to period detail.

Nope. Here they have not even told us when they are available to be gotten.

I am definitely gonna check the paper for dates tomorrow. And if it is not in the paper i will call. But it's always in the paper for the towns near me.

Both pharmacies on our end of town have been giving flu shots this year. Last year we went a bit earlier & waited in a good sized line at the only pharmacy with a clinic. This year we went across the street (we were too late for the other clinic) and had a short wait. I don't know if there had been a line across the street.

DR Jose, you make a good point about having the 2 flu shots close to each other. Since the swine flu is a year round deal I would rather be vaccinated for that in the spring, if I were to opt for the vaccination.

re: TAKEN. I mean obviously it wasn't that serious. But to me they made it almost laughable having him take on so many villains at once (alone).

I thought the story in MILK was fascinating. I didn't know all the details. I liked how they showed some real footage mixed in with the film. The parts i was less thrilled with was how they portrayed so many of the characters as just hopping from bed to bed.
