Seven!

[ChasSmith]

Okay, I'm outta here till late tonight.  I'm taking DR Elmore's CDs to listen to on the road.

[ChasSmith]

Speaking of CDs, I ordered me some of those Kritzerland beauties.

[Cillaliz]

People who have done both at once were happy to get it over with, but I understand the reasoning behind one at a time.  I think it helps to have one functioning knee for balance.

So close to Christmas, I think she wanted to avoid cooking dinner

With my brother's bypass and my niece's baby, they were well over their deductible.  It was an insurance thing

[Cillaliz]

Just sent Richard to the little grocery down the street, because I'm baking cinnamon pecan coffee cakes and was willing to take a chance on the baking powder that expired a year ago but not on the baking soda that expired in 2007   

He said he thought he'd splurge and buy both...

Oh, you should only see some of the stuff I recently went through and tossed out...

I am going to toss my baking soda right now.

Just don't toss your cookies!

[Cillaliz]

Not sure why I'm still sitting at my desk.  I haven't heard any news yet, so I'm just waiting for the phone to ring.  I have never been any good at waiting for the phone to ring.  That is why I am single and live with cats

[Cillaliz]

Worse yet, they are going to call my cell phone.  So I could be at home, but I just sit here and wait

I'm going to be annoyed if I can't get my pre-approval before the end of the year.

Are you just sitting or also getting work done-lol.   You could go for a walk and carry your cell phone with you.

I can't find my hardcopy of Les Miserables.  I'm looking to compare it to my eBook which just doesn't seem right. 
In order:
Preface
Fantine (title)
Book First-A Just Man (title)
Chapter 1-M. Myriel

It has been a LONG time since I've read this, but doesn't the book begin with Jean Valjean and not with the Bishop?

I'm sure that every different version is translated differently and edited differently.  You never know what you can end up with.

[George]

According to a poster on this DGA Yahoo newsgroup I somehow belong to, they got a very interesting screener yesterday via Fed Ex - no one else had, so I'm hoping it will show up today.

Ooo...I wonder what it is.

[George]

And I've lived in this house for 18 years...

That doesn't mean anything.  I've moved expired spices from one house to the next.

I have spices that are probably older than I am that I took from my mother's cabinet. Taste them. If they have flavor, they aren't expired.

I think I have some of those, too.

When Richard and I combined households when we got married, there were 4 cans of chili powder between us.

I bought a spice rack with spices from Costco that expired in June 2004 (only 2004)...and I still have it.  I don't think that I've ever used ANY of the spices, though.

When the musical first opened in London and I got the London cast recording (before an American production happened), I got a couple of translated versions, one was 300-some-odd pages and the other was about 1500 pages.  I started to read it, but didn't get very far.  I was in college and too busy.

(That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. )

I was in 9th grade the first time I read this and couldn't put it down.  I'm sure if it began where my eBook began I would not have read it straight through with only short breaks.

[Jane]

Do you still have your various copies?

[George]

Do you still have your various copies?

It's possible, but then, I might not.  I still have some books in my garage and only a few in my house.  It would be easier to just search and buy a version that I like than to try and find out which box that specific book is in.

[TCB]

Just wanted to alert everyone to the new Broadway Radio Show that is now up for your listening pleasure here on HainesHisWay.  This edition is my phone interview with songwriter Charles Bloom and features selections from his new CD entitled "In Here" with performances by talented Broadway performers such as Christine Ebersole, Howard McGillin, Liz Larsen, Josh Grisetti, Aaron Lazar, Vicki Lewis, Jill Paice and more!   And just a bit of fun trivia, Charles is the son of screenwriter Harold Jack Bloom (The Naked Spur and You Only Live Twice) and actress Carolyn Kearney (The Thing That Couldn't Die and Hot Rod Girl)....Charles, himself, was an actor and appeared in the long forgotten NBC sitcom The Waverly Wonders starring Joe Namath!

I once dated The Thing That Couldn't Die.



Guess what?  It died.

Chrome is fixed. Hooray!

So is AMERICAN IDOL!

Maybe I can find my copy.  We seem to have books missing & I don't know why.  I cleaned out a good number of books, but only those I didn't like.  This one just might be too high for me to see the title.

Most editions of LES MIS, like most 19th century European novels,  are either in stilted 19th century English and censored or heavily abridged. Because they are public domain, they get reprinted regularly since a lot of publishers are doing "budget" classics. The only decent complete and unabridged translation is the one  from New American Library/Signet, new translation by Lee Fahnestock and Norman MacAfee. The new Random House translation has been criticized for the translator's poor attempt to catch a contemporary vernacular and to distort the text deliberately.

Great news Priscilla!

I missed that about the top three. Fantastic!
