DR JRand, I'm glad you weren't robbed & are safe.

thanks for the vibes. And glad to hear that DR JRand is safe.

From my parents' back yard. Irises were always my favorite. These have an aroma faintly of grape Kool-aid powder.

Pretty

Great video, Jane.

Glad you are safe, JRand.

Beautiful flowers, John G.

Just been printing orders and doing some odds and ends. Will shortly go out and do my errands and whatnot.

I have grape irises too, John. I planted them years ago at the first house I bought, and have taken them with me to each new place and am about to dig them up again to transplant to the new house. Lovely flowers!

Thank you Laura. After I returned home from an uneventful (meaning we only saw 3 small dogs) hike, Keith called me outside to see the long garter snake. I was tempted to post a photo for you, in spite of all the complaints about your snake photos

One Of My Favorite TV Series was CHICAGO HOPE

Do You Have Any Idea When that Series will be released on DVD??

I don't, DR Arnold. I haven't read anything about an upcoming release. The studio must not have gotten much interest in it from surveys and fan requests because I never see it talked about like other series that were on during those same years.

MattH -If it did come out -what Company would put it out?

I'd have to check but since the show aired on CBS, my first guess would be Paramount.

DR Matt H I'm pleased your back is improving & that you don't have to spend the day watching for the UPS truck.

Thanks for that. It is a relief that my back is almost back to normal. At my age, when things start to go wrong, there's always that worry that THIS time, it won't be an easy road back to health, so each new ache or pain gives me pause.

I was actually getting worried about the UPS delivery because the note of delivery yesterday said the redelivery would happen before 10:30, and it was after 10:30 when he got here (but only by about ten minutes).

Well, I have been out of it for several days. Am in Louisville and trying to get work done, which means I'd rather be doing anything but work. My parents' house has no cable, no Internet, no nothing, so I'm at a Borders using the free Wi-Fi. Dad had an endoscopy this morning and seems to have come out of it well , which is a relief. Will be working on the next issue of the magazine in any free moment I can snatch.

Glad it was good news, and glad you could find somewhere to access the net.

Got my Friday errands run early, got back home and immediately started cooking lunch (about 45 minutes earlier than usual). I knew AVATAR was very long, so I wanted to get lunch prepared and eaten as early as possible so I'd have plenty of time to watch the movie (and fit in bathroom breaks as needed).

Matt H. · « **Reply #102 on:** April 23, 2010, 01:00:35 PM »

I watched THE MENTALIST while I ate lunch. Now, there aren't many fans of this show bigger than I am, but even I got a bit outdone with Patrick this week. Yes, things turned out all right in the long run, but he really should think about a little self-discipline, if not for himself, then to keep his team from getting in trouble or even possibly killed.

Nice to see Stephen Spinella in a guest star role this week.

Matt H. · « **Reply #103 on:** April 23, 2010, 01:05:23 PM »

Then I watched AVATAR. Breathtaking new world and heaps and heaps of imagination in creating it. The main story, of course, we've seen in so many other books and films: corporate America/greed/industrialists moving into an area and taking over for exploitation no matter what environmental treasures and traditions are upset. That I found a little trite actually and the evil characters so one dimensional.

It's beautiful and engrossing and even moving in places but the core story seemed a little stale and pretty predictable, too.

A DVD I might be ordering shortly is one of Grayson Hall's early film appearances, SATAN IN HIGH HEELS. Here is a clip featuring the song stylings of HEEL's star, Meg Myles.

It is a fun movie!

I skimmed through today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. I knew Luke and Reid weren't going to be on, but they were featured in the previews for next week, so maybe they'll be on more than one of the five broadcasts next week.

Matt H. · « **Reply #106 on:** April 23, 2010, 01:07:37 PM »

Then I watched last night's THE OFFICE. There were a few good laughs though I never find making fun of someone, no matter how idiotic they are, very funny.

Which is exactly what you will read should you go back and glance at today's notes.

I also agree with your note about the inconvenience of having to upgrade the firmware on your Blu-Ray player. [I also have a Blu-Ray Samsung.]

It's one of major the reasons that I still choose DVD over Blu-Ray when buying or renting titles.

I watched it on a Panasonic Blu-ray player that had no trouble at all, but later on tonight, I'll put it in my Samsung 1500 and see what happens. I suspect it won't play even though I have the most recent firmware.

Now I must hop off line and do some writing. Then, I'll head down to watch BARTON FINK, a fantasy, too, but very different from AVATAR.

I sent the neighbor a long email, telling him to expect a letter from the landlord, thanking him for oiling the squeaky bedsprings, and advising him of the need for carpet, no door slamming after 11 pm, and clomping around during the middle of the night. I also called the neighbor below me to inquire how much of a nuisance I am and she said that, outside of a few Sunday mornings with my CD player being too loud, she had no complaints for my apartment.

If I am found dead, it's either the tenant above me or one of the conductors of LIFE BEGINS AT 8:40!

Back from a somewhat more fruitful afternoon with my mother and her errands. We did get her other 2 prescriptions, plus a LOT of groceries. We did not, however, get her nondriver state ID, because they would not accept either of the 2 pieces of mail she'd taken along today. Part of that was her fault for not wanting to take a bank statement or a credit card statement, 2 of the items specifically mentioned yesterday as acceptable. I about lost it, though, when the clerk suggested "proof of vehicle ownership" as one of the qualifying items - for a NONDRIVER ID??? And the facility has a big poster encouraging parents to get this type of ID for their children. How many kids do you think have bank statements, credit card statements, voter registration cards, etc?

Betsy performed last evening with a comic up from L.A., who told her her set was perfect for tv! The guy couldn't reveal details, but he is on this summer's iteration of LAST COMIC STANDING, one of our favorite reality shows.

Nice!

DR Ginny I'm sorry about your frustrating day, however your mother really should know by now if the DMV requests particular documents you had better have them.

I'm sure she just didn't feel all that great after yesterday.

Jane · « **Reply #119 on:** April 23, 2010, 02:46:34 PM »

DR elmore I'm glad your downstairs neighbor doesn't have any complaints. It not only demonstrates you are a considerate upstairs neighbor, but that normal movement does not create excessive noise.
