QUIETUS is an honest to goodness name for an over the counter drug to battle tinnitus.

Better for tinnitus than flatulence.

A little old lady goes to her doctor's office.  "Doctor, " she says, "I have a very strange problem with gas.  I'm farting all the time!  But the odd thing is that my farts are silent and they don't smell at all.  In fact, I've farted about ten times since I've been sitting here talking to you.  But you wouldn't know it, because they made no sound and there's no smell to them."

The doctor thought for a moment then began to scribble on his prescription pad.  "Have this filled out at your pharmacy and take two tablets a day.  Then I want to see you again next week."

The little old lady strictly followed the doctor's orders and, the following week, was once again sitting in his examination room.

"Doctor, I don't know what was in those pills but now my farts smell something awful!  They are still silent but--Oh, my!--they now smell terrible!"

And the doctor said, "Very good!  We fixed your sense of smell.  Now we have to do something about your hearing..."

bk - A real(!) Cuban sandwich would not be served on pita!  -Just sayin'.  -And the addition of salami is usually only for an especial.  Otherwise, the classic components of a Cubano are roast pork, ham, swiss cheese, pickles and mustard "pressed" in Cuban bread (or, in a pinch, a French bread loaf).

My luncheon favorite from our Pickeled Pig Pub:

Cuban Press: smoked pit ham, shredded pork, pickles, swiss cheese & Dijon spread on a panini roll.

We Are The World 25 For Haiti - Official Video

Thank you.  I thought the group rap section was kind of fun.

[Jane]

... The combination of real butter and peanut butter is magical to me.

One of my favorites - and I guess I've paid the price

der Brucer

I am not willing to pay the price. So I don't eat things like this.

GOOD FOR YOU!! I know it isn't easy.

Amy I'm not surprised Skywalker Ranch is an amazing place to work.  I'm glad you had the opportunity to do so.

I just finished watching the entire 7-minute version of WE ARE THE WORLD, which was released today at 2:00 p.m. EST.  It was certainly an improvement over the three-minute mishmash they showed last night on the Olympics; but it still not very good.  I agree completely with Jose regarding the need to enhance several of the vocals in order to include them; not to mention one very loud soloist who could only have been improved had they enhanced (or cut) his voice.

I am sure that it will make billions of dollars from downloads, but not one thin dime from me.  The other interesting fact about the full version is that the seven minute song, is then replayed over the seven minutes of credits.

This 3 day weekend I am going to try to finish up the set of M SQUAD episodes that I started many months ago. I enjoy seeing the various guest stars (lots of B movie actors), but tire very quickly of Lee Marvin's scene chewing. I have never in my life witnessed and actor who overacts SO much.

Then I guess you haven't seen Mr. Marvin in CAT BALLOU?

Still up in the air.  If all goes according to plan, we will officially close on February 26, but our plan is to actually stay here until this house sells or the end of the school year.  We will probably move a ton of stuff out of this house and into the new house in early March to make this house "show" better.  But if you'd like to come down and be our official new housesitter, I'm sure something could be arranged.

Last night, I watched MAKE WAY FOR TOMORROW, perhaps the most heart-breaking movie I've ever seen.

It's also one of the finest films to come out of Hollywood's Golden Era.

The really sad thing about it is that the story is just as relevant today as it was back in 1937 when the picture was made.  Indeed, it's probably even more so.

[DERBRUCER]

derBrucer, I am very happy that you are feeling better. 

I sure wish your ills would heal as fast as mine.

I enjoyed last night's Opening Ceremony very much.  True, it wasn't China, but it was a very nice program.  I thought the Flying Prairie Boy segment was incredibly beautiful.

DR Jennifer, I thought the girl who sang the Canadian national anthem started out very weak but ended nicely.  Of course, my favorite was k.d. lang.  Her "Hallelujah" had me close to tears.  Likewise, the moment of silence for Nodar Kumaritashvili.

It was a shame that the lighting of the cauldron didn't go as planned, but if they had raised the other three pylons sooner I don't think anyone would have noticed anything was wrong.

I think due to budget constraints they would not even try to do something as elaborate as some past opening ceremonies.

I thought nikki's jazz version of the national anthem was very different and unusual. But i thought she looked amazing. This is a girl who started as a young girl singing at montreal's jazz festival. I don't think she is more than 16 now. But she sure looked grown up.

I love love love garou. Doubtful most people would know him. BUt he played Quasi in Notre Dame De Paris.

Yeah it was too bad about the malfuction!

[Jennifer]

I"m not sure if they do this anywhere in the US.  But today when i went shopping they had set up a tv and couches in the mall to watch the Olympics. It was pretty cool.

[TCB]

If you have about forty minutes, total, this is truly incredible.  I thought I would check it out quicly, and then move on; but I was hooked.  If you start with Part 3, I think you will want to see it all.

Win Perkins, a real estate appraiser who specializes in airport properties, has posted on his Web site a video he created of Charles Lindbergh's famous and risky takeoff in the Spirit of St. Louis.   According to Perkins, this is unlike any other presentation of the takeoff footage.   Perkins said he "painstakingly assembled news footage from five cameras that filmed Lindbergh's takeoff from Roosevelt Field, Long Island" and "mixed it with enhanced audio from the same newsreel sources."

After you watch the "Takeoff Video (Part #3)", be sure to 'click' on "Contact" on the Left side on the web page to view all of the Videos "Parts #1 thru #4".

My hunch is that after you watch the "Takeoff Video (Part #3)" ... you will want to see the others.

And then, ask yourself: "Would I have had the guts to have done it?"

I'm setting on the floor of a dance studio at a run of Beauty and the Beast Jr running the music cues on my laptop.  The run is going well.  I could get used to these "Jr" shows!

Thanks for all the good thoughts and vibes for my Grandmother.  Word is she's doing
better today.

It got much warmer this afternoon than they were expecting. The result is the snow is almost gonr, and I will be able to take my walk tomorrow morning! I'm VERY happy about that.

When I went downstairs I began my viewing with Thursday night's SUPERNATURAL. Intriguing use of the Famine plague from The Four Horseman, and I really enjoyed the show. There was also some fun stuff with "Cupid" and Castiel was his always appealing self.

[Matt H.]

Then I watched Wednesday night's LEVERAGE while I ate lunch. Pretty good caper leading up to next week's season finale Part I. Elliott playing baseball was priceless.
