Hello, all!

So little time, so much to say.

I'm logged on in the Occupational Therapy Room of Rehab. 5th Floor of the same megahospital.

Joe was discharged on Sunday, even though he had blood in his brain, fractured ribs and scapula. And he is having a bit of a hard time at home, although the nice neighbors (not Lady Macbeth who divorceth the Thane--but that's another story) have been helping him out a bit.

I have freactured pelvis and one knee, and I will be in rehab for at least another week. What happened is that Joe was driving to the doctor, skidded on an exit ramp on oil, and the car hit a tree on his side. His MB SLK was, of course, totalled, as were my students' finals. I am still working on assigning grades for the semester, but at least this happened a the end of it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And thanks for all the vibes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Youse guys is great ~~~~~~~~~~~~
On my own computer I keep Character Map open on the task bar so I can copy in fancy shmansy letters whenever I want.

More later.

Luvs ya.

GET BETTER SOON...AND THAT'S AN ORDER !!

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"?

You are correct, but you got them backwards:

"Alt" + 0199 = Ç

"Alt" + 0231 = ç

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.

Back from a couple of shopping excursions (on foot) and lunch at Applebee's. I don't expect Richard "home" for another couple of hours, so I thought I'd take advantage of having HBO and watch Four Christmases. Gave up on it after about 20 minutes.

Glad to see that DR WFO was able to be here for a bit this afternoon - continued vibes for him and Joe!

Yes, a quick recovery to William F. Orr and his ever-lovin' Joe.

Helper was almost two hours late, so everything got screwed up and I'm working with David on the phone today. But, we got everything shipped, so that's good.

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

DR WFO I was pleasantly surprised to see your post. I'm glad you were up to visiting us.
CONTINUED HEALING VIBES TO YOU AND JOE!!!
VIBES OF PATIENCE WHILE YOU HEAL!!! I know it isn't easy.

David and I are working - but in a very unusual way. We were doing it on the phone, but realized we both are Mac people, so we opened up an iChat session and now we can see each other while working. It's almost like being in the same room. Fun. He had to go take his youngest to school and we'll resume in a few minutes.

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.

It turns out these ultra high-tech new DirecTV receivers do not always work with some Panasonic flatscreens. Guess what brand was left in the house mounted to the fireplace? It's a minor inconvenience, I guess--when the HDMI handshake doesn't take place, we have to press the reset button and wait for a few minutes.

LOL-I knew there was something important I was missing. Testing, 123: François IT WORKS!!! Now the big problem is remembering the codes next time.

Why would Samuel French buy a show that is still a work in progress?
