I think this should do it

[Cillaliz]

Much better

Break a leg VIBES for DR Matthew!

[Cillaliz]

I haven't done much today.  It's been nice.   I do need to make a trip to the store and get some potting soil.  Some friends gave me a big bunch of plants that...well I don't know what they are called, but I hear they do well inside.  It's a big root-bound ball, so I'm going to divide it up into several pots and take them to the office.  I may try to keep one here, but the cats tend to try to eat all plants, so I'll have to look up what it is and if it will hurt them before I do that

[Cillaliz]

Yes Break a leg DR Matthew

TOD, the sequel:

Ruth Gordon -- ROSEMARY'S BABY, WHERE'S POPPA?, and WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO AUNT ALICE? -- which I don't recall seeing, but I intend to like her in it when I finally do.  Never warmed up to HAROLD AND MAUDE (only saw bits and pieces on TV back in the day) but might actually give it a try sometime.

John Cassavetes -- ROSEMARY'S BABY, TWO MINUTE WARNING (I think), HUSBANDS.  Probably more I'm forgetting.

And for a bonus response:  Sidney Blackmer -- ROSEMARY'S BABY and the PREMATURE BURIAL episode of THRILLER.  I feel I've seen him a few other times, am totally blank on what those things are, but wanted to give him a shout-out.

Hi everyone.  Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday. Tonight is my first night at Max' Restaurant in Palo Alto.  I'll be paying and singing some tunes from 6-10.  The playing part is easy, the singing of said tunes I've had to spend time on. So, I have some Carpenters, Neil Sedaka, and some things like that, mostly 70's and I think I'm in good shape for the evening.  I'll check in after and give a report!

Break a leg tonight, Matthew!

[ChasSmith]

I'm delighted to report that I now have my copy of ROSEMARY'S BABY, and will be taking it for a spin this evening.  Very excited.  I feel like I've been waiting for this moment for years.  And in a sense, I have been, since I somehow never got around to acquiring it on Beta, VHS, Laser Disc, or DVD.

Chas, I think you might enjoy HAROLD AND MAUDE if you gave it a chance.  It is one of those films that you have to just sit back and go with the flow.

From DR ChasSmith:

And don't sweat the internet.  Power and heat are EVERYTHING. 

 

Water is nice too.  Those with well water lose their water source when they lose power.

To me heat is the most important thing to have as long as I can purchase water.

I like my new Kindle Fire HD tablet, on which I'm typing this

DR TCB, we have early voting in Ohio, but we have to go to a Board of Elections office.  I did that 4 years ago because of my work schedule, but this year I will go to the new school that was built to replace the elementary school that Rob attended.  Our polling place has moved around a lot lately and I'm glad for us to be back where we belong.

DR Ginny, what is going on with that ass Jon Husted and his voting conditions?

I've tried to ignore him as much as possible.  There are a lot of Ohio politicians positioning themselves for spots in the Romney administration, I think...

Yep, I lose water, but when one of these storms is coming I fill the bathtub which holds a LOT.

Heat = The Number One Thing.  Period.

From DR Vixmom:

I was so happy I nearly cried

Awww, you poor thing.  I know you were cold.  Are you feeling any better?  Having a cold had to make it all much worse.

[Ginny]

Congratulations on your new tablet, DR Doug R!

[Jane]

my NEXT house will have a gas stove and a fireplace!!!!

[Jane]

From DR Vixmom:

Jane  thanks for conveying my messages!! Please PM me the address and I will try and get a postcard out

You are so very sweet to offer with so much on you plate.  How about I wait & see if you come across a card while doing your regular errands.  I don't want to think of you searching for one.

[Ginny]

Are any of our LA folks familiar with the name Peter Ellenshaw?  He was an artist in the film industry and did a lot of work for Disney.  We were in a gallery last night where I was admiring my friend Pam's paintings and chatting with her and Richard was transfixed with a signed & numbered print of Ellenshaw's "Evensong."  I could just tell that he really wanted it, so I asked if he wanted it for his Christmas present.  Without hesitation he said YES, so I wrote a check to the gallery owner and it's now hanging in our living room:

[Jane]

Since Dr Jose is in DC I asked him to get a card & he said he could probably do Virginia too.  I never thought of asking Craig since he is in Maryland.  Craig said he is such a close walk to DC he expects it would be easier to find DC & Virginia cards than it will be for him to find Maryland.

[Jane]

DR vixmom, the gas stove and fireplace (especially the fireplace) are certainly essential and go a long way toward keeping one not only alive but sane.  

Up to a point.  

With temperatures taking this dip from where we started at the storm, the lack of real heat for any appreciable length of time is something I truly do not know how people deal with.  On Thursday night I had just arranged to jump ship and stay with a friend in a neighboring town, and was contemplating that being my last night trying to get some sleep huddled in a comforter in front of the fireplace, when the power here was mercifully restored.

A good wood burning stove in the fireplace that pushes heat into the room is much better than a regular fireplace.

Night time is the worst time without heat, at least for me.

[Jane]

Fell asleep last night around 10 and did not wake up until 7 Am


NICE!

Has DR Vixter returned home?

[Jane]

Greetings from Toyland! All seems good, but we need long florescent lamps. I need to tackle that this week.

DR vixmom, Mia Farrow is not in THE BOY FRIEND. Twiggy is.

I stand by my statement,  my favorite Mia Farrow movie is The Boyfriend

[Jane]

Here's the recipe, Vixmom. I was thinking, Jane, if you did a vegetarian version of this, mushrooms might be really good in the mix.

Mushrooms work well as a beef substitute.  This recipe give me a feel for it, thanks. 

Talk of cabbage roll casserole reminds me Craig didn't have time to make his delicious vegetarian version of Romanian Cabbage rolls before he move.

A link to Jose's "My Fair Lady," which starts tonight.

Vibes for the production.

Thank you.

Ditto on the vibes!

[Jane]

So, tonight's the night for clocks back an hour?  I've heard nothing about this anywhere.

Really? 

I have it on my personal calendar so I remember from year to year.

[Jane]

Cat Freddy has asked me to go and buy him some cat food and kitty litter, so I'd best do that now.

I'm sure he will appreciate these very much.

[Jane]

Went to the Dogwood Pet Hotel this morning.  It's clearly more of a dog hotel than a cat hotel.The  Cat room has the below modues in it. (I got these photos from the net. This isn't the actual place) I don't like the idea of putting the cats in these cages, but there is one cool thing.  I can get three across the top and they can adjust them so all three cats could go back and forth between all three modules.   Could be worse.   I have a feeling this will be harder on me than the cats.

This is NOT what I was expecting you to find.

[Jane]

but there is one cool thing.  I can get three across the top and they can adjust them so all three cats could go back and forth between all three modules.  

I should have read your entire post before responding.  That isn't too bad if they can open all three across.

[Jane]

Perhaps I should wait until tomorrow when it is free-for-all day, but I am curious as to what style of voting do people have in their areas.  Washington, I believe, has 100% mail in ballots, there are the old-fashioned polling places open for one day only, and more and more I hear about early voting available at polling places.  I was just curious.

I would think you qualify for a mail in ballot.
