It shouldn't keep you awake, Jane. It's pretty quiet.

Yes it IS the Wolf Moon......tonight and tomorrow night should be quite a show.

Just finished my taxes, and as usual half of my federal refund goes to the state of Indiana.
I don't understand it.....but then again.....no one is taxed more because of his or her sex, no one is taxed more because of his or her race, no one is taxed more because of his age BUT we ARE taxed MORE because we are SINGLE.

Unfair.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #159 on:** January 29, 2010, 06:47:04 PM »

Enough rant. Nothing to see here.....move along....

We need pictures of the new table.

Jane · « **Reply #160 on:** January 29, 2010, 06:51:01 PM »

I hope it doesn't rain, especially as we have special plans tomorrow. The woman I have mentioned before who began the Romanian Rescue group will be stopping by our house tomorrow with her husband & 5 dogs. A couple of weeks ago she took home a mother dog, her 3 pups, and another little pup from Romania. Now they will be going to their new homes in Portland & we are just 10 minutes off the freeway as they drive from California to Portland. I'm very excited to see the pups and to meet Nancy in person.

With all those dogs coming here we do not want rain!!

Richard and I watched Every Little Step while we ate pizza tonight and enjoyed it very much. A Chorus Line is one of our favorite shows and we've seen in together in New York twice - in 1982 and 2006. Watching the movie made me want to be in NYC.

Thank you, DRs Jane and Jennifer, and welcome home, DR Elmore. Ohio realtor vibes to you!

For Cillaliz:

That's just insane. I do remember when I was at the Public defender's office there and the county board fired our boss that everyone was paranoid for awhile about who was going to be fired who was spying for who etc. So, a lot of it is Sheriff Joe, but some of it is just the regular paranoia there. I think it's the heat

DR Elmore - thanks for the DC hotel recommendation, but the location won't work. I need to be near the designated convention hotels in order to be able to use the shuttle busses that are provided to conference attendees. The one exception to that, for me, would be the Marriott in Crystal City, which is on the Metro line that goes to the convention center and has direct acccess to the CC Metro station (I like that for security). I just can't get past their $12/day charge for internet access.

Big hugs to Cillaliz---that is even more tragic knowing the while circumstances of the wreck.

It really is, reading the news gave me chills & brought tears to my eyes. Cilla i can understand how upsetting her loss has been for you.

Thanks. Her obit was in the paper. I didn't realize she had 5 kids. It is heartbreaking

I'm back from DC. I've unpacked, checked the emails, and now I have to catch up.

Welcome back, DR Elmore! Always a relief when another chick comes back home to roost!

Jane · « **Reply #170 on:** January 29, 2010, 07:30:48 PM »

HUGS CILLA.

Matt H. · « **Reply #171 on:** January 29, 2010, 07:31:10 PM »

It stopped snowing about 45 minutes after it started, but it's very cold out, and I suspect the dampness is now freezing on the roads. I have no idea at this point if I'll be able to walk tomorrow or not.

Matt H. · « **Reply #172 on:** January 29, 2010, 07:34:59 PM »

I did watch THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM on HD-DVD. I really paid attention this time to picture and sound quality, easy to do since I've seen the movie enough to be able to follow the plot but pay closer attention to other aspects of the presentation.

There was some moire with the HD-DVD transfer, and the Dolby TrueHD, I felt, was a little undernourished. With all the chases and fights and crashes and gun shots, the surrounds just didn't seem to be quite as active as I would have liked.

So, I will likely get the film on Blu-ray when I can find it cheaper than it is right now: $16.99. Perhaps if it shows up in my gold box at some point, I'll get it then.

Matt H. · « **Reply #173 on:** January 29, 2010, 07:36:26 PM »

Next I skimmed through today's ONE LIFE TO LIVE. Nothing of interest for me.

Matt H. · « **Reply #174 on:** January 29, 2010, 07:37:17 PM »

I didn't have enough time to watch PROJECT RUNWAY, so that will likely be my lunch viewing tomorrow.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #175 on:** January 29, 2010, 07:37:53 PM »

That being said, my day started with the sign guys doing my door. I was very pleased and will try to post a photo.

Throughout the day I heard from several people telling me they plan to be there Tuesday and how people have been talking about it. It really changed my mood and got me back to being excited about the open house. I went home and hauled more boxes of books. I framed a bunch of photos for the library shelves, bought a plant that mom's going to give me and picked up a flowering plant for one of the tables.

I had a number of compliments on the door and this afternoon a bunch of the court security officers from the federal building stopped by for a preview and to find out what I'm serving for food, lol. They said they'll be there and that it's been put on the weekly schedule at the federal building. It was also discussed at the US Attorney's office staff meeting.

I'm planning to pick up some extra food and pop this weekend. At least cookies and whatever else I see at Sam's club that will keep if I have too much. I finished decorating the library/conference room as much as I'm going to now. I've still got to figure out what to put on the wall in Edith's area and in my office.

Next, I watched tonight's GHOST WHISPERER. Some of the demon stuff was really pushing it, especially since the rest of the episode was involving, and I always love seeing Bruno Campos (who played the father). I like that Jim had more to do in this episode.

Matt H. · « **Reply #177 on:** January 29, 2010, 07:40:21 PM »

MEDIUM certainly had a fun, twisty episode with some deft surprises I enjoyed. Bridgette entering puberty didn't interest me much, but it was nice of Ariel to help her along which was sweet.

Matt H. · « **Reply #178 on:** January 29, 2010, 07:41:00 PM »

No UPS delivery today, so that means I start on BARNABY JONES tomorrow. I hope to be able to finish it by Sunday night.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #179 on:** January 29, 2010, 07:43:49 PM »

I didn't go to Candace's service. While it truly broke my heart and I will miss seeing her, the truth is I'm not close to the family. I cried about it yesterday (in my car, that's where I do such things). When I walked into work Edith immediately said "Sick or something wrong?" Sheesh, I really must have looked bad, lol. Anyway, I talked about it a little. Today just started out on such a positive note and it continued all day. I didn't want to go back to being sad, so I stayed away.
