There were only two candidates for the post at B'wayworld - 3D Diffusion and Francois.  Since Francois had written me a very similar e-mail I thought it was pretty obvious it was him.  I acted as if I'D attacked that poor fellow - I just asked him if he'd read the post to which I responded where I was called names, and where the poster just made things very personal.  I doubt I'll hear back.

Actually, the "post" at Broadway world -- one AmicusJusticiae -- was written by an individual with a birthdate of June 19.   Look at your birthday calendar.  I deduced this from looking at the profile info on the poster there.  It may be that the individual on the calendar isn't the same individual at Broadway world, but...

So are you saying the post was by DR Beckon, whomever that may be?

[DAW]

So glad that DR TCB is seeing the Roman sites.    In all his finery.

So it costs $50 to get a membership card to Costco to be able to get inside the door?  Good luck to them in Manhattan.  They are going to need to come up with some free trial membership, I suspect.

 
CostCo is a phenomenon, like Sam's Club.  They needn't worry.  Folks will be knocking one another over trying to get in the door.

DR Ron and DR Jose - you may both be right.  I've been to a CostCo before, so I know what it's all about, and it's great.  My point was that this is probably a new model for them --- to open up a buy in huge quantity bulk type shopping destination, in an area where people neither own cars nor have likely (for the most part) travelled to another borough to buy their groceries.  Not only do people not have cars to get their purchases home, but they don't have the luxury of storage space to hold all these bulk items in their apartments.  So I think it will be very interesting to see if people are able to find a way to make this work for them. 

I doubt that a lot of people who live outside of Manhattan and own cars will routinely drive into the City in order to be able to shop at this particular Costco, instead of the one closer to their home.  I was thinking that since this is a new thing for the people in Manhattan, and that we have an unusual set of circumstances (no car, no space at home) that most other areas of the country don't deal with, they may encounter greater resistance in getting many people to pay $50 for a membership up front, before seeing if it will actually work for them on a regular basis.  They may actually do better giving people something like a free two time pass, so people can try it out free the first couple of times and see if it works for them.

I may be able to offer over 8000 sf of storage space to these people.

Have no idea... 

[Julie]

Great news about the adopted kittens, DR Laura.

[Jennifer]

re: costco. There are actually plenty of things that you can buy there that aren't in bulk.

They have great deals on clothes, books, scrapbooking supplies. And even a lot of the food is not in bulk.

It will be interesting to see how it works in NYC. But it is huge here.

[Laura]

Costco and Sam's are really big here, too. I never have understood paying so much for the privilege of shopping somewhere.

I think you just stumbled upon a new start up business idea.  I'm ready for my next roll of paper towels.  Please send quickly.   

[François]

Since I am "publicly" accused of posting on another site with another name, I feel that you need to know (Do you really?) that Amicus something and I are  two (2) different people.

I have other things to do in life than "bashing" BK on the internet ...

That's all I'll say and that's all you need to know.

Bk, has received from me a PRIVATE message about this all silly situation.

[Laura]

Hi Francois. I'm glad to know it wasn't you.

[François]

Hi Francois. I'm glad to know it wasn't you.

Thank you, Laura.

[François]

Of course if people had been reading my posts

Just exactly who are you, again?

 

Thank G*d, there's some humour left in this world!

[François]

DR Jane - Thank You for the update on DR Danise.  Even though she may be "homeless" at this point, it is good to know that she has a (hotel) roof over her head.

In our days and times, it would be quite horrible to know that she has to sleep under a bridge, even though bridges are rare in Florida!

And BK thinks he has problems!
Unfortunately, he's not the only one!

"You are not alone!"

[François]

As for the Topic of the Day...

One of the first songs that pops into my head is "Aurora" as sung by the Andrew Sisters... As well as an over-dubbed Michelle Nicastro.

The Ronettes version of "Sleigh Ride".

"Stop! In The Name of Love" by the Supremes.

The "Hallelujah Chorus" as sung by The Roches.

I know I'll get reprimanded for saying so ... (One more today! Who cares!) but it's

The AndrewS Sisters!

I know, they even make that error on some cd's!

Andrews, like Dame Julie.

Yes, I was born May 19, 1950 and I am not that Friend of Justice, if that is what that latin thing means!

Now, feel all free to believe what you want.
My life is shitty enough not to have to deal with such trivial matters!

Sorry if i am a nuisance to most of you but i believe i have been quite friendly with most of you, recently and in the past.

Now, let me call my lawyer! 

FYI, I don't have a lawyer; can't afford one.
But I sure can afford to get BK's products!
(They sure cost less!)

Just saw that ballet dancer George Zoritch passed away at age 92, In Tuscon on Nov1.

Many here will remember him from that wonderful BALLET RUSSES documentary and from the films he danced in.

[Cillaliz]

Maybe more girl bands than girl groups but...

Indigo Girls - Closer to Fine
Bangles- Walk Like an Egyptian
Bangles - Walking Down Your Street
Bangles- Different Light
GoGos - We Got the Beat

[Jeanne]

Hello, everyone.

I haven't much to say today.

[Cillaliz]

For anyone interested:

I stopped by the adoption bus today and met the adoption coordinator. She said Michael and Charlie got adopted right away last weekend. Ginny is going to the senior center event this weekend (since she is such a lap cat). If she doesn't get adopted there, she'll go to the pet shop where gray cats get snapped up right away.

The last batch all went to the pet shop, where they stay until they are adopted, and indeed Cillaliz, Elmore, and Antonia were adopted several weeks ago.

Kittens Wally and George will go to a special event on December 3 where all the people looking for pets make very good money.

WONDERFUL NEWS!!!

[Jeanne]

TOD:
Growing up, there were many singers and many groups that I heard without thinking much about them. When I hear them now I sometimes have a new appreciation for them; and sometimes not. I only recall being vaguely aware of the McGuire Sisters at the time. But I was blown away after hearing them a few years ago (a PBS documentary?).

[Jeanne]

Anyone watching the British series TRIAL & RETRIBUTION? It's written by Lynda LaPlante (PRIME SUSPECT) and is equally riveting. It aired several years ago, but I believe it's new to DVD.

[Jeanne]

David, may I have the red shoes at the top of the photo, please? DR Julie may have all the rest.

[DAW]

You certainly may, DR Jeanne.  They are all in a male size 13.

[DAW]

Good kitty adoption news from Laura DR!         

[Ginny]

Well, that was about as ugly as it gets: Wisconsin 45, Michigan 24 

[JoseSPiano]

Good Afternoon!

Cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, more laundry... -I think I'm getting back to "normal" again - despite the crappy weather outside. 

[Laura]

Well, that was about as ugly as it gets: Wisconsin 45, Michigan 24 

I've seen worse. I am an Arizona Cardinals fan, after all.

[JoseSPiano]

DR MBarnum - I believe this video may help you gain a better appreciation of Opera... Or maybe just the singer...

La Donna é Mobile

[Cillaliz]

Not if you're from Wisconsin
