I had to put my cat, Annie, down this morning.

So sorry DR Druxy. I've lost several cats and dogs and know how devastating it is.

On top of that I have a $500 car repair bill...something about wing nuts and combers or something, I don't know. It had happened to one wheel a few years back, and now is happening to the other wheel. Hyuandai can't figure out why it is happening, especially since I have so few miles on my car and I don't drive over rough roads.

I've been thinking of getting a Hyundai - now you've got me worried.

I have been back from vacation since Friday night, but because my computer seems to be dying I have not been able to get onto HHW...it just doesn't want to load it, along with several other sights. IMDB takes FOREVER to load. I don't know what has happened to my machine, but it looks like it is time to get a new one.

DR MBarnum - Are you sure it's your computer? If it's mainly the internet you're having issues with, it could be an issue with your internet/cable set-up, provider. Have you tried resetting your internet connection by disconnecting all the cables for a couple of minutes, and then re-connecting everything and starting back up? Also call your cable/internet company to see if they can do a line test.

As for your car problem, have you checked for any possible involuntary recalls?

Also, I'd been having problems with Internet connectivity and it turned out that it was more than likely an old splitter. When I plugged the cable directly into my modem and then into my computer, it was fine. But when I split it to my computer and my TV, there were problems. I got a new splitter and some new coaxial cable from Comcast (my Internet provider) and except for a few hiccups, I haven't had much problem at all.

Wow! It's getting really cold now. Just got back home having had several drinks followed by a burger meal with egg, bacon, fries etc. Swarms of people about. I don't know why the center of London is so full of people on a Tuesday night.

As for the Topic of the Day...

The Carlyle (Grand Cafe) in Arlington, VA, used to have an appetizer of house-made potato chips drizzled with pesto and bleu cheese. It was soooooo good. The garlic and the basil in the pesto really helped to cut through and balance the fattiness of the cheese and the fried potato chips. And you had to eat the whole bowl as soon as they were placed on your table, because once they cooled down they weren't quite so yummilicious.

The Carlyle also used to offer a side of "garlic-potato cake", but it was actually more like a slice of a potato gratin casserole. Shredded potatoes mixed with a garlic cream, then baked until crispy on the top and bottom while still creamy in the middle. Now they serve mashed cauliflower.

My guilty pleasure potato dish: A double order of The Hash Browns at Waffle House All The Way! Scattered (on the grill), Smothered (onions), Covered (cheese), Chunked (diced ham), Diced (grilled tomatoes), Peppered (jalapeño peppers), Capped (mushrooms), Topped ("Bert's Chili") and Country (sausage gravy)! -Usually the only meal I have to have all day.

What would be the approximate cost of your guilty pleasure (cash wise, not calorie or trans fat-wise)?

And now I need to get ready to head out to run one more pre-trip errand, and then dinner. So...

Usually $4.00 or $5.00 depending on the city, location.

And that includes a cup of coffee.

DR Jose, I have not checked either of those things.

If there was a recall I would think that Hyundai would have informed me when I took the car in yesterday. Wouldn't they?

As for the computer....who knows...it is waaaaaaaay slow just loading Windows when I reboot, and has been ;like that for a few years. It is almost ten years old, so my guess would be a new one would certainly improve things. In fact I was looking at new computers and even the cheapest ones have WAAAAAAAAAAY more GBs, TBs, and MBs then my current one.

THE JACK BENNY PROGRAM......

If any DRs get The Antenna Network on their cable system (Comcast has it), they are now showing THE JACK BENNY PROGRAM as well as BACHELOR FATHER, FATHER KNOWS BEST, and ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS. I am not sure when these were added to the line-up, but I only noticed it this week.

two Jack Benny episodes air each day, and it has become my dinner hour viewing each night!

The Jack Benny popped up on the RTV network (Reto Televison Network) but haven't see it in a while. The majority of their programing seemed originally to come from Universal Studos, but now there are also programs like Route 66, I Spy, The Saint, Starksky and Hutch, Movin' On Da Vinci's Inquest (from Canada) Highway to Haven,

So between the dying computer and the messed up car I am gonna be out at least $1000, plus the money I am sending to the actress friend to help her get through the month...it is beginning to look like my NYC trip in April is just not going to happen.

Was any of the unions able to help her or guide her to someplace that could?

I received a coupon for $5.00 off Pirates Of The Carribean: On Strange Tides.

BUT..........

You have to buy the 5 Disc version!! You get the Blu Ray, DVD, 3D Version, and the Digital upload and one other disc that I'm not sure what it is.

I don't get the concept of Combo packs

I really only need the Blu Ruy.

I Don't Get It #2

My DVD of Lost Horizon was sent via UPS, but tracking today it said that it was transfered to the Post Office in West Palm.

Why would a package sent via UPS be transfered to a Post Office facility 25 miles from where I live?
