I have a friend who is very skilled at turning adversity into opportunity. It's not luck. He's very persistent and somehow ends up receiving far more than I would have ever guessed.

Back from Costco, on my first-ever run for K-Cups!  (Kirkland brand, breakfast blend, $38 for 100 -- a real bargain compared to the little 12-packs I've seen in other stores.)


That is a good price.  I usually buy mine from Amazon, but I don't get that good a price.  I would like to upgrade to a Keurig vue.

Catching up with the 2012 Michael Buble special.  The Bing Crosby duet is a strange use of technology.  It could have used more of a laugh track.  It makes Bing Crosby seem as if he's not a nice person.




A lot of people said that he wasn't a very nice person.

We saw a lady demonstrating the Vue at Bed Bath and Beyond last weekend -  much more expensive for both the machine and the cups and neither of us found the coffee to be any hotter or better brewed

That's good, TCB. Unless you were expecting the call before your surgery some months ago.

No, my regular doctor sent a referral up there last week when I saw him.  He  can't believe that there isn't anything that can be done about the spinal stenosis in my lower spine.  He doesn't want me to spend the rest of my life taking pain pills.  I agree with that, but at some point you have to say "No" to anymore surgeries.  I will go up there, see what they have to say, and then I will have to decide my future.

Finished Life of Pi and watched the first forty minutes of the "restoration" of Once Upon a Time in America.

Another downer: We ordered another case of books with two-day delivery and, two days later, the books didn't arrive. And we have a signing tomorrow with only about one case of books. Given the response this one is getting, I think we could have been able to sell an extra half case tomorrow. I've sold many this past week to people wanting last-minute gifts, and that's what several have mentioned they were planning to do tomorrow.



I could sign my copy and send it back to you

 I think its spelled Koi


I have no idea what you are talking about.

SOOOOOO

 I ordered an Amazon  gift card in a snowflake tin with free next day delivery from Amazon on Sunday

it did not arrive Monday  OR Tuesday

I checked ordered status on Tuesday night and found my order had been cancelled because they were out of snowflake tins

SOOOOO I ordered a gift card ina different kind of box  with free next day delivery -  it did not arrive -

 tonight I discovered that it was in the FEDEX facility on Long Island but was just not delivered -  I tried to get a human being on the phone for over an hour but I was continuously disconnected

 this was a gift for my SIL  and we are seeing them  Sunday so now I must see if I can get the card locally and I am going to ahrv an extra one  as I am sure I will not be able to return it --- this makes me  quite annoyed

I need BK over here to speak strongly to people ( assuming HE could actually get through to a human being) 

I ordered one on Monday and it was delivered on Tuesday.

We had a very good time.  We went to Ben Dew's Clubhouse, which is about half way between both of our houses.

Oh, a 9 inch square.  I don 't think I have one that size.  I was going to use a 9 X 13.

It's not a hard and fast recipe -  it varies depending on how much ham and noodles you have available -  I night use  1 1/4 - 1 1/2 quarts of sour cream for that size
