Well, you've read the notes, you've eaten raisins in honor of the raisons, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they don't speak French, you know.

Ya know, I don't get Amazon's pricing methodology...

I've had the OCR of AMERICAN IDIOT in my shopping cart for about three weeks.  It was originally priced at $12.99.  On Monday, when I browsed to my cart, there was a notice that the price had increased to 14.99.  I just went to my cart and now I see the price has decreased to 11.99. 

I'm glad that I've been dragging my feet on placing this order...

Good morning, all! I was out of bed at 8:15 and the laundry is already underway. I've got to type a of a few cut scenes from THE LADY OF THE SLIPPER libretto that I've been postponing since Tuesday, so I wanted to get the laundry begun ASAP. Around 10:30 I will head off to Toyland, stopping at the post office on the way.

DR George, I haven't heard any of LIFE BEGINS AT 8:40 beyond the Overture, which is conducted by the mystery guest conductor who stepped in to clean up things; I know who it is, but i'm not revealing it. Yet. I think the Overture sounds god, but I have no urge to hear what was done to screw up something I had invested several years of my life. I'm sure PS Classics has doen a fine job with what they were given, but i woill be bitter over the people above me who let this project go to hell for a long time.

TOD: 
  DVD:  THE PRIVATE LIFE OF HENRY VIII, several operas, that documentary on HAIR
  CD: Petula Clark, Jim Dale, Guy Haines, Liz Callaway, Jacques Brel, several live McGlinn performances
  VCR: REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NYC reunion, cheap porn

Today I have to work at the AAUW garage sale from noon-2.  When I get home, we have to get Mary Linda's room ready for her weekend visit and I have to make deviled eggs for Richard to take to Lima tomorrow.  They're having a "fix up the church" work day in preparation for the diocesan conference we're hosting in 2 weeks.  Because I'm taking my mom to Indianapolis for a family 90th birthday party and then on to Illinois to visit my niece, I'm unable to attend the work day.  I'm brokenhearted...

DR Cillaliz, i noticed in your post last night (about the strangeness of the new neighbor) that you mentioned it was considered weird to ask someone to take off their shoes before entering your house.

Do you mean wearing your shoes to walk inside someone's entire house. Or were you talking about someone not letting you inside the door with your shoes on.

I personally really do not like it when people wear shoes inside the house. It makes me cringe since there is so much dirt on your shoes.  But I think it is quite common in a lot of the US to wear shoes from outside in the house (is that right?).

DtM - Found the whole Ruth-roof joke

Talking Dog Joke?

A man walks into a bar with a small dog under his arm and sits down at the counter, placing the dog on the stool next to him. The bartender says, "Sorry, pal. No dogs allowed."

The man says, "But this is a special dog -- he talks!"

"Yeah, right," says the bartender. "Now get out of here before I throw you out."

"No, wait," says the man. "I'll prove it." He turns to the dog and asks, "What do you normally find on top of a house?"

"Roof!" says the dog, wagging his tail.

"Listen, pal..." says the bartender.

"Wait," says the man, "I'll ask another question." He turns to the dog again and asks, "What's the opposite of soft?"

"Ruff!" exclaims the dog.

"Quit wasting my time and get out of here," says the bartender.

"One more chance," pleads the man. Turning to the dog again, he asks, "Who was the greatest baseball player that ever lived?"

"Ruth!" barked the dog.

"Okay, that's it!" says the bartender, and physically throws both man and dog out the door and onto the street.

Turning to the man, the dogs shrugs and says, "Maybe I should have said Joe Dimaggio?"

Gay Talking Dog Joke

A man walks into a gay bar with a small dog under his arm and sits down at the counter, placing the dog on the stool next to him. The bartender says, "Sorry, pal. No straight dogs allowed."

The man says, "But this is a gay dog!"

"Yeah, right," says the bartender. "Now get out of here before I throw you out."

"No, wait," says the man. "I'll prove it." He turns to the dog and asks, "Where is the fiddler during the TRADITION number?"

"Roof!" says the dog, wagging his tail.

"Listen, pal..." says the bartender.

"Wait," says the man, "I'll ask another question." He turns to the dog and asks, "What's the name of Tony's best best friend, womb to tomb?"

"Riff!" exclaims the dog.

"Quit wasting my time and get out of here," says the bartender.

"One more chance," pleads the man. Turning to the dog again, he asks, "Who was the greatest character Roz Russell ever played?"

"Ruth!" barked the dog.

"Okay, that's it!" says the bartender, and physically throws both man and dog out the door and onto the street.

Turning to the man, the dogs shrugs and says, "Maybe I should have said Madame Rose?"
