One gift I gave Betsy which I can mention is the sweet little William Wegman DVD called Hardly Gold, featuring his iconic Weimeraners.  The main feature is no great shakes, but it has some sweet extras that Betsy loved when I got a review copy years ago.  That copy had disappeared somewhere along the way, so I contacted the studio and purchased a new one.

DR ELMORE we will expect a full ONCE report.

I will shortly head out. I have to pay my cell phone bill at Verizon and then head down to the lower east side.

BK, re: people calling before nine. I guess it depends on who you are calling. You should remind people that you are not a morning person. Because otherwise i think that most people think that anytime after 9am is good.

I was sitting in the conservatory wondering why it was so cold and realised that the electric convector heater wasn't working. After checking it out, I found it was completely dead so I went out and bought a new one. Got it home, unpacked it and found a massive dent in the side. Took it back for a replacement and have just got back home and can sit in the conservatory in the warm again. So that took up all the afternoon!

I watched the Alfred Hitchcock Hour on EncoreSuspense last night (two episodes every night at 10 pm. and 11 p.m. Mon-Fri).....this is an episode I had never seen....with Robert Keith and Edd Byrnes and Stephen McNally.....

I really did see the "surprise" ending coming....BUT there was an additional twist that was still shocking.....

Does anyone else remember seeing this episode?  It was called "Final Escape."

So far I am loving my kindle!  And it came with a plug. So i'm thinking i can charge it in the wall (vs in the computer).

I was able to connect it to my wifi, register it (all on the actual kindle). And since i have a giftcard in my account i can just order the books on my actual kindle. And it takes 2 seconds. I ordered the  2 x 99 cents novellas by my favorite author that are not available for purchase.

Btw, did anybody else know you can type in -doman  (with the dash) in the amazon.com search and it shows you all kinds of free books!

I didn't think i would like the keyboard. But i do. It lets me search and buy on the kindle!

I still don't know how to web browse. And not sure whether i am supposed to charge it or wait till battery is dead. Anybody know?

Jennifer, I don't think you have to wait until the battery is dead to charge it.  I haven't, but HERE is the link to the Kindle Documentation page.  I would assume that it's the same for Canada, but there should at least be an equivalent page on amazon.ca.

From Bruce:
Quote
The darling daughter doesn't have a lot of dough, so this year she made me two cherry loaves - based on a recipe of her Aunt Jean - something I used to absolutely go bonkers for every Christmas during the married years.  Aunt Jean still made me a cherry loaf every year for about five years even after the deevorce but I haven't had one in twenty-six years.  I just had a piece now and I have just sent my daughter a text (which I did by speaking into my phone "Send Jennifer a text" which it promptly did as I dictated it) - "Cherry loaf - best present ever - eating it now".

DR Jennifer - keep your Kindle's wireless turned OFF except when you need it.  Saves the battery...

Correct!  AND don't leave the wireless option turned on...that uses more battery power than if it's turned off, too.

I had stupidly forgotten to bring the Christmas cards with me which I'd intended to hand out at the reunion lunch, so I have just had to mail them.
You're doing better than me. I hope to get mine out by New Year's. And those are just to family.

I'm not sending cards this year...nor did I send any last year. ::)

There's always next year. :)
