The dent in the dryer faces the wall, so it is not even visible....


When I got my new washing machine & dryer I was doing the paperwork to purchase the floor model for the washer when the saleswomen took the time to verify I had noticed all of the scratches and dents.  I was so busy looking at the top of the machine I hadn't noticed the large area of dents and scratches in the bottom front of the machine.  It was going to be far too visible from where I am sitting right now & so I passed on the good deal.

My sister Paula illustrates where my latest painting will hang at the new house.





It looks perfect there.  You are multi-talented.

Here's an update from my cousin who lives in Japan:

Charges include murder......

Kind of shocking that they thought they could get away with something like that. Don't they ever watch any of those CSI type shows?!

They were desperate and certainly thought all evidence would be destroyed.....the blast leveled at least two homes and 33 other homes in the subdivision have to be razed.....

Desperate..... interesting.   Does this mean they kind of had a good reason to murder the neighbors.

My interview went really well this morning, but they didn't pick me.  They picked the woman who doesn't live around here.  So, that means that I'm going to get a nice vacation next week and will work on moving forward with some changes around the office that Edith and I have been discussing.  I'm really ok with this. The whole process was really a good thing for me.  It made me think about where I am, what I'm doing and how successful I am right now.   I was encouraged to apply for a judicial position in the future.  Don't know if I'll do that or not.  I guess time will tell,

As always your attitude is excellent.  Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't pick you.

There are lots of actors on this site. I'm sure they will all tell you to try again.

It's really ok.  I am a little disappointed, but not too much.   I really do love my clients and I would have missed them....and Edith!   I'm kind of surprised I"m not more upset about it.

That says a lot.

DR JRand, your sister looks very happy with her new appliances.  I know how exciting it is to get ONE at a time - can't imagine having all new ones all at once!

DITTO!

Ditto, too!!

DR CILLA LIZ - I think you would find the press conference from the Marion County Prosecutor very interesting if it's online anywhere....I will look for it.....

The homeowner and her live in boyfriend have also been charged in conspiracy because they tried to do the same thing the weekend before.....but were unsuccessful.....

This link might work

I get it now, desperate for money.  They didn't plan to kill anyone.  Isn't that called manslaughter?

This means you are meant for better things in the future.

Precisely!!! 


And if I might add, the work that you are currently doing is very important and I love your devotion to it.

Ditto!

What's sad is to have thought someone was dead only to learn that they were still alive and you might have spent time with them before their end.

I'm doubly sorry for your loss.

Shameless act of self-promotion. A friend sent me this photo of my book as present among her presents.


Nice pic.  The cover of your book always puts me in the mood for good Mexican food, or should that be Tex Mex food :)

TOD:

CD - THIS CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS COCKTAILS Vol. 3, a HOLIDAY INN soundtrack that I think came with the DVD, which seems to have an alternate take or two, and I just got to CAREER (great score!!! -- I'm sorry to say I've never seen the movie).

DVD & BLU holiday stuff - WHITE CHRISTMAS, A CHRISTMAS STORY (and the documentary ROAD TRIP FOR RALPHIE), NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CHRISTMAS VACATION, SANTA CLAUS (the 1959 Mexican film that everyone but me has seen), and the recently acquired BING CROSBY and BELL TELEHPONE HOUR specials.

BLU - BELOVED INFIDEL and HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN.

I have never heard of the 1959 Mexican movie, SANTA CLAUS.

Wow, DR TCB, even as a kid you never saw this kooky classic? Well, this trailer will give you an idea of what you have missed....or not.

There are no words...really, no words! :-X

LOL DR George, which may be why I didn't dare open it (sorry DR MBarnum).

Well, my mood has gone from "I'm ok"  to being ticked off to hurt and all over the map today.  I went shopping for something for mom and ran into one of the commissioners, she told me I was their first choice from the first ballot all the way through (this was the round of 16 interviewees).  She said some very nice things and made me feel really good.   

Then I got an email from one of the judges' court reporters telling me she hopes I apply for a district court judgeship or a federal judgeship.   I don't want either of those jobs and told the judges that.  So I'm beginning to think that they decided I'd try for a higher position later.   I guess I wasn't speaking English when I told them I didn't want to be another judge I wanted to be this judge.

Back from the editing room, picking up some packages, and no important envelope (different important envelope - the old important envelope is not an issue anymore, because its contents are now being paid direct into my account, which is much easier), then taking possession of ten boxes of Jane Lanier's caramels (she recommended them to be in the refrigerator until given out.  I then had a visit from muse Margaret's husband, and I gave him a box of caramels to take home.  The eight other boxes are now in the fridge, with the ninth box out and ready for my taste bud delectation.

Edith and I did have a good talk this afternoon.  We're going to make some changes in what we do, I'll stick to immigration for sure, but may be making some other changes to get some more lucrative cases. But for now I'm on vacation

Then I went to transfer the compressed and uncompressed files to the computer and they weren't on the hard drive.  In fact, the entire Quick Time folder was missing, so something obviously went awry.  I had him You Send It the compressed, in case I want to show it at the partay, and next Wednesday we'll put it on the hard drive again.

The compliments that hurt.    I'm sorry.

At least you had time for your first reaction before hearing why you didn't get it.

Well, I don't really know why I didn't get it. I've heard a couple different things, but that's really irrelevant.  The fact is I didn't.  I do really believe it's for the best and I'll be fine with it as soon as I get done being ticked off  :)
