Well, you've read the notes, you did a Buy It Now on the notes, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently on eBay buying a rare first edition of a book by Charles BuCOWsical.

7:40am and no other posts.

Good morning all.

We have a full day ahead.

Dear Larry is coming over for a visit and to pick up some CDs and then we are meeting a friend for dinner. He came into town unexpectedly and called to ask us out for a meal.

It's still grey and rainy in New York though the temperature is supposed to rise as the day goes along.

Sandra, I just finished watching Arthur. He's on at 7am on the PBS Kids digital channel. D.W. learned the value of money.

Good morning.

Re e-bay: I bought a lot of vintage postcards for DRs Sandra and Megan (and they still have them, I understand) many years ago. After a while, it seemed only the dealers had the Evelyn Nesbit postcards and they wanted so much for them. I have no idea if they are worth anything now. Probably not. I haven't bought on e-bay in years, since it seemed most of the sellers were dealers.

Wow!  That's like the title of my favorite sermon delivered by Karl Malden in POLLYANNA!

I love EBAY - I buy this and that there.....some things for the store including some jewelry and some odd collections of used books that help fill up the shelves.....New Age Paperback and Occult Collections.  They usually go for 12 or 15 books for $15 or so including shipping.

Good morning, all! The alarm went off at 7 am and I settled back into bed for another 93 minutes of peculiar dreams involving a cat and a lodge somewhere in a forest. That's all I remember of it now.  The neighbor above me arrived home quite late and quite noisily, but he brought no one with him, thank you, Jesus.

I am now a proficient on downloading videos from youtube, and I have to thank DRs George and singdaw for their helpful emails and links, several of which I could not decipher - i am not good at computer or sound equipment vocabulary - but after having a horrid time with a site called Keepvid, which DR George recommended and becoming quite frustrated, I reread the information sent by DR singdaw and discovered another site called Clipnabber, which worked like a dream. Thank you, gentlemen!

So, today, more of the things on my worktable and a trip dwntown to visit DR Ben and Anthony. I may make a stop at Toyland on the way to drop off some things that are piling up here.

Some basic chores today - cleaning, groceries, some theater-related work.
Dinner with friends, and then White Christmas tonight!

Good morning!

Another beautiful morning! It was a little chillier this morning than yesterday, but still very bracing and invigorating. I am sure these walks are part of the reason my recovery came about fairly swiftly once the therapist gave the go-ahead to do it. Now, I look forward to being out in the fresh air almost every morning.

I am very grateful to Ebay for helping me to acquire a fair number of sundry objects at very good prices including the keyboard that I am now typing on. I can't think of anything I've been scammed on though I did wait six weeks for the delivery of an object and had to threaten the vendor with an Ebay investigation before he sent me the item.

Today I'll be working on CHASING AMY on Blu-ray. There are a fair number of bonus items on the disc, so it may take me into this evening before I can finish the box set and then put the review to bed.

And I'm looking forward to watching FLASHFORWARD while I eat lunch today. The show has really picked up in interest during the past couple of weeks.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I've already had a bowl of cereal, a cup of coffee and the rest of the almond cookie I bought last night from one of the Chinese bakeries in Flushing. -Although, I actually think it was a coconut walnut cookie.  In any case, it made for a perfect breakfast dessert.

Since MAD MEN's season has concluded, that's one fewer show I'll have to worry about watching on the DVR during the week.

The new six-part remake of THE PRISONER which begins tonight on AMC has not gotten good reviews at all, so I don't plan to watch it.

I was very glad to see that MEDIUM once again topped the ratings of all network broadcasts on Friday night. It dipped in the ratings a little bit last week when NBC put a second LAW & ORDER episode on opposite it, but it was back to par this week once again scoring higher than its GHOST WHISPERER lead-in.

As far as eBay, I don't lookf for collector items so much anymore, but I did get an entire set of phones that go with my current phone system for a steal.  From the messages still on the answering machine it's clear someone's business went under, so I'm sorry for him, but really glad I cot such a great deal. I literally saved about $500
