My phone has a headset.  It keeps my hands free & my neck from hurting.  That is normally, now I can't hold the phone for long at all.  Maybe by the time my two years, the surgeon said it would take, of healing are over with.

Every once in a while, I'll get my bluetooth headset and use that if I think I need to be on my cell (and only) phone for a while.  What's really convenient is that if both of my batteries are very low, I can have my phone upstairs charging while using the bluetooth headset anywhere in my house...even two flights down.  It's pretty cool. 

Jane, do you have a cell phone?  Could that be an option for you...using a hands-free bluetooth earpiece?

I don't do the online banking thing.  I'll have it in a few days and am happy to pass on the three-dollar charge.

ROTFLOL.  My cell rings in the house, however that doesn't mean I can carry on a conversation in my house.  Keith's cell works better at the house, mine works better on the hiking trails which I consider more important.


When I was researching new land line phones I found some that are blue tooth compatible & are used instead of your cell phone.  They look like a regular phone but work off the cell, without using cell minutes.  I don't remember the details how that can be.

Oh, and it doesn't mean they don't believe you, it means someone didn't record the information & they have no way of knowing.

I agree with DR Jane. While it is certainly possible that they are screwing with you, I think it's also possible that their bank did not send them back that cheque and therefore they really need the copy for their records.

Breaking news:

Dan (the cat) was the first to climb onto the Leopard-Spotted Fainting Couch.

That is all.

Jennifer, I'm glad you agree with me....however banks don't send back checks anymore, at least not in the States.  This check would have been returned to Bruce anyway.  This person obviously didn't write down paid in their records before cashing the check.

BK

Are any of the productions you did in LACC that you mentioned in your book available  for production?

I used to license Stages, but no, I've never tried to publish any of it through any of the licensing places.

Maybe it is something you should consider - or perhaps you might want to publish them yourself -

Well, I must be going.  I'm going to see a local production of Annie and the woman who's playing Grace is the same woman who played Grace when I did the show...in the mid-1990s!  However, she still looks quite young and is a wonderful performer and a very nice person! 

And she actually went to high school and was friends with Kevin Spacey and Mare Winningham!

Just had to share. :)

I think every musical should be reprocessed and given surprising new twists to make them Happening and Now and Modern and Different.  Many of them were just popular by accident and not because they were any good to begin with.

I would like to see FOLLIES updated and take place in the now-closed CBGB's and be about a reunion of 80's pop acts.

Correct.  Which is not MY problem, but theirs.  It's the attitude really - stuff happens, but the attitude sucks, especially after I told them it had been deposited and cashed.  I don't know what else they really need, and the fact is I gave them the date of deposit and all that, and they could just look it up on THEIR bank statement.

Stuff does happen.  It isn't the mistake but how one corrects it that makes a difference.  Unless the deposit was for a single check & not multiple checks they wouldn't find it in their bank statement.

DR TCB - just for reference.....if they haven't seen it, watching the movie version may save me hours of explanation about this or that.....don't watch it to COPY anything.......just watch it......two people took the DVD's which is fine.....hopefully they will enjoy the film.

We have company coming next month that have multiple food restrictions.  I want to make a dessert but every time I think of one it has too much sugar in it.

Does anyone have a recipe they like that doesn't have much sugar, and is still tasty?

Happy Birthday, Francois. (Hey, George, how did you get the cedilla under the c?)

I always copy & paste to get it.  If there is an easier way I would like to know.

DR Jane - If you're on a Mac: "Alt/Option" + "c" = ç or Ç

On a PC/Windows: "Alt" + 0199 = ç - "Alt" + 0231 = Ç  -At least those should still be the codes.  Does Windows still have "Character Map"?

Thanks, only it didn't work.  I'll have to ask Keith why.  I'm sure the response will be that I'm an idiot ;)  We don't have a Mac and I'm not sure about Windows.  I haven't a clue where the character map is.  I think it is easier to copy & paste ;)

Oh...I (and Jose) forgot to mention that the numbers MUST be typed on the 10-key pad on the right side of your keyboard.  You can't use the numbers above the letters.  AND you have to hold down the Alt key while you're typing all four numbers.  Try that.
Place a foot in a bucket andhave the other wrapped in a mustard wrap. Facce east and then recite the pledge of allegiance before trying?
