How are you feeling FJL? Are you getting over that nasty cold?

vixmom · « **Reply #61 on:** December 22, 2012, 10:05:39 AM »

The telephone guys were just here putting in a new telephone pole - but hey didn't move any wires so we have the telephone pole that got smashed still up with the wires connected and a new one next to it with nothing connected to it

Well I discovered that my package is now at a reasonably local FEDEX location so I have to drive 20 miles round trip to collct the thing

vixmom · « **Reply #63 on:** December 22, 2012, 10:07:24 AM »

I could have bought one in the store up the block but thought how convenient it would be just to have it delivered to me in the office

BAH HUMBUG

vixmom - So strange, I had my first flu shot ever, and the cold happens. LOL!

OK I am off to ruin some poor FEDEX clerks day

It felt good to write down the good things from 2012.

FJL · « **Reply #69 on:** December 22, 2012, 10:11:01 AM »

I will not proceed (that is NOT) to write down the bad things from 2012.

At least not at this very moment.

I have been getting the flu shot every year and been fine this is the first year I caught anything but there is definitely a virulent strain going around Vixdad and I still are fighting the gift our SIL gave us on Thanksgiving and from what I hear she still has it as well

A VIRULENT STRAIN - that should be the title of something

Blake Shelton's Christmas special was an oddball mixture of goofy comedy and nice music.

It apparently did very well in the ratings the first time around, much better than the Buble show.

Here's the NY Times link on the ratings for Christmas specials.

http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/12/21/on-television-holiday-specials-draw-plenty-of-eyeballs/

From the article:

"Musical specials also performed to expectations: CBS’s “A Home for the Holidays With Rascal Flatts” on Dec. 19 tallied 5 million viewers while NBC’s “Michael Bublé: Home for the Holidays” on Dec. 10 had 5.7 million. But they were both upstaged by “Blake Shelton’s Not So Family Christmas” on NBC which drew 8.9 million on Dec. 3."

FJL · « **Reply #74 on:** December 22, 2012, 10:22:28 AM »

But wow, Buble's album being on the charts in the Top ten two years in a row seems to be unusual.

I liked last year's special better somehow. Maybe they were tougher on the writers last year.

Here's his FELIZ NAVIDAD with Thalia, which I may have posted before, but I like it:

FELIZ NAVIDAD - Michael Buble with Thalia (with cute intro, "Feliz Navidad" actually starts about 1:45)

Hmm, the combination of programs threw me off for some reason. Must be a lot of people on Safari.

"Armful of Trouble" is proofed. It was endless.

Ginny--

I wonder if its too late to ask Santa to bring me that house for Christmas this year

LOL, DR Vixmom!

I'd forgotten until this article that Richard and I didn't know Robin and Bob were planning to move until we heard they'd sold this house. Just as well, because we would have wanted to buy it and probably couldn't have afforded it.

The picture of little Robbie that's in a frame on my bedside table was taken at a summer gathering on that fabulous front porch.

And I am home from Toyland and waiting for the post to arrive.

TOD:

Travelling is always the most memorable time for me and this year I had a good time in Prague, Kiev, Vienna and Madrid.

Attending the Olympics and having the Olympics in London, was the most fabulous, memorable event of the year - in fact of many years.

I looked in the mailbox and what did I see? A Christmas present? No.

Another jury summons.

For those that didn't hear the film version of Les Miz will open on Christmas day to less than stellar reviews.

So if you find it necessary to have the soundtrack AMAZON has it for sale for $5.00 as an mp3 download.

It does have the new song for the film Suddenly, but does not have Do You Hear The People Sing?

It is very cold right now. And very windy. My bedroom is cold.

Jane · « **Reply #83 on:** December 22, 2012, 02:48:09 PM »

DR ChasSmith, ice or slush, both keep us from driving down our driveway. At least the slush can be removed. We only use salt when we absolutely have to.

Today it is fairly nice out so we went to the gym & I swam. It felt great.

Jennifer · « **Reply #84 on:** December 22, 2012, 02:49:47 PM »

I really want to see LES MIS. But I do not really want to sit for three plus hours. That is the one thing I prefer about dvds.

dr Jane, there is no transcript

LOL, that's why I winked.

Today, after apologizing to Keith for not saying something yesterday, I told Keith you didn't get the position. He already knew having gone onto your FB page to find out for himself.

In other words - our Cilla was too damn good for them!!

Cilla, I'm glad you had a fun time last night.

Watching Once Upon a Time in America still. Delivered two boxes of caramels, picked up one package and no envelope (slow this time of year - envelope is coming from Washington and I was told three times it was absolutely sent), had an omelet and a bagel for the meal.

Well, I am now scheduled for an appointment with the University of Washington Spinal Clinic on January 17. They called me.

VIBES THERE IS SOMETHING THEY CAN DO!!

I have a friend who had laser surgery on her back. Maybe that will be an option for you.

From DR George:

My sister bought and printed out Amazon gift certificates that she gave to me. You should be able to do that, too...I don't know how, but it's possible.

Is dropping the gift off to her when it arrives easy enough to do? You could print out a photo of what you ordered & give her that.
