Sorry to have disappeared so abruptly earlier.  My mother called about 12:30 - she was having kind of a meltdown.  Nothing major, but a lot of little things.  I threw on some clothes and went to her place to 1) make a phone call for her, 2) find the mate to one of her favorite left shoes, and 3) get the child-proof cap off her new bottle of Advil.  Got her calmed down a bit and finally came home at 4pm to have my own lunch and call my sister.

No trip to the Y for me today, after all, but I'm about to put on my new shoes and try them out with a walk around the basement.

Years ago Tylenol came out with special easy open containers.  I was glad I saved mine since I never saw them again.  I once picked up a prescription and couldn't get it opened until the next day when I could get someone to open it for me.  And that someone was a child.

 A combination lock, perhaps?

My new shoes are great!

:)  Good shoes are important.  I wear mine almost all of the time.

As for the review by the former DR, it is indeed strange. I read several of her reviews of other books. She often says little about the book in question and a lot about her own likes and dislikes--mostly dislikes. Her reviews are often rated as not very helpful. Based strictly on the reviews I read, I would say she has some very strong opinions and is not inclined to keep them to herself.

The woman is 50 years old and says she's an "aspiring writer?" When does one stop aspiring and do it? I have also been reading her reviews but when I got to this comment, I decided she had shit for brains:
So, I know of Balzac, though I had no desire to read his works, any more than I want to read Trollope or Dickens, Classics all. But just because I dont' want to read the books they wrote (all literature is too darn depressing, that's why it's literature) doesn't mean I don't find the lives of these authors fascinating and worth reading about.

Here it is in a nutshell: all literature is too darn depressing, that's why it's literature right from the horse's . . .

She is the Cliff's Notes for aspiring 50 year-old writers. I never liked her and I think much less of her now that I know how tiny her mind is.



All good literature isn't depressing.  How does she know she doesn't want to read these classics if she hasn't read any of them.

e-mail volleys continue, but I'm done now - I will not allow myself to fester and go to a really negative place about the people involved.  So, I've written one last response and basically said "Let's take a break."  It will mean I lose a regular cast member from the Kritzerland shows, but that's life in the big city.  I could not have been more loyal or supportive to these people and that's that.

Getting perilously close to an early Good Night here. 

Must feed cats first.

Also must think about (finally, after how many years?) getting to the Loews Jersey tomorrow night for MOTHRA.  In 35mm and on a 50-foot screen.

Here are George's instructions from 2004. They might be a bit easier to follow

Type WITH NO SPACES WHATSOVER:

an open bracket [

then "url=" without the quotes

then the actual URL

then close the bracket ]

then type what you want to show, in this case "CLICK HERE" and you can have all the spaces you want at this point

then another open bracket [

then "/url" (again without the quotes)

then a close bracket ]

I added spaces here so that it won't work and you can see the construction:

[url = http : // www. the-url-goes-here. com]Type what you want to show[ / url]

And what I usually like to do is make it bold so it stands out, or you can make it bold and change the color

And all this has to be done in the Reply box, not the Quote Box.

Thanks, George!

Thanks.

DR CILLA LIZ - that's a sad interview from a deluded "star." 

I thought so too.

Tonight I crashed a party at a prosecutors house.  It was a great time!   Today I was telling him we almost neighbors but I didn't know his address exactly.  He told me and I drove by on my way home tonight and saw people I knew on his porch. So, I just stopped and told him I was crashing his party.  It was me and almost all the local federal prosecutors.   I knew everyone except their intern and we sat on the porch and drank some beer (many drank harder drinks and smoked cigars- I stuck to my beer).  It really was a good time and they were very welcoming. I'm glad I did it

I'm just sitting here like so much fish listening to most of our new master, which sounds amazing.

That is ludicrous.

You know what I like?  Consistency.  That's what I like.  Music has it, many people don't.
