BTW I have never known these particular Lutherans to affix sticky notes to CDs

Except with arrows pointing out the naughty bits.

LOL! Reminds me of the hot news story in Cincinnati when I first moved here. The Hamilton County sheriff and his staff went to see DEEP THROAT to determine if it was obscene. Then they went again, just to make sure!

I get nervous when this site is slowwwww - which it is right now. It just took twenty seconds for that post to post.

Fox News has announced that Mitt Romney and his wife will speak for the first time since the election.

It must have been pretty creepy around their house with neither of them speaking for the past three and a half months.

DR Jane, don't return MR. CHURCHILL'S SECRETARY! I've read it and the sequel, PRINCESS ELIZABETH'S SPY, and I like the series very much. The last major site Richard and I visited in London was the Churchill War Rooms, which is where a lot of the first book takes place.

Thanks. Maybe your recommendation is the reason I had it on my wish list to begin with. I don't like to order books until I'm reading to read them in case they become available at the library or the price goes down. Thinking the order hadn't gone through I began reading a sample through Amazon that for some reason was only a couple of pages. At that point I wasn't sure I wanted to read the book. Keith pulled up a larger sample on his Kindle app this morning and the books seems more interesting.

I'm confused though. Is this a murder mystery or spy novel? Does the Secretary in the title refer to a person I haven't met yet or the one I'm told in the opening sentence will be toast?

I rarely experience slowness here, but have had it moving between pages just within the past half hour.

Last night I purchased MR. CHURCHILL'S SECRETARY and it didn't download. I then purchased THE RUSSIAN CONCUBINE which I immediately began reading. When the emails came in from Barnes & Noble about my purchases I replayed to them to take back the first book since I hadn't received it. This morning the book had arrived and Barnes and Noble has since informed me of the fact. I still might insist they take it back since it took so long to get here.

I think at amazon you have a certain amount of time to give the book back. You should check to see what the time limit is for B&N. Also, if you're going to wait to read it in the next week or two maybe you should just keep it.

First I have the 500 plus page book, and then I expect at least one of the 2 library books to be available, and then I have the book to read for my discussion group, and then I can read the book that took so long to get to me.

Has anyone ever ordered an eBook that took so long to arrive?

I also have a load in the dryer. I'm just doing towels today. Yesterday I did 3 loads of clothes.

I was just reading a review of PETER PAN starring Cathy Rigby and some unknown guy as Hook. The review says that the show is done in two acts. When did that change? It used to be done in three acts.

Few shows today honor three-act show structure anymore - and they should. The first act break in Peter Pan is after I'm Flying and in my opinion, it needs it. The original reason, however, was to get Peter and kids out of the harnesses and to make the set change into Neverland. For the two-act version, they do some completely unnecessary dancing and time-killing stuff "in one" while the set is changed. It just adds time and is a bore.

I'm watching Game Change - the story about the McCain/Palin campaign. HBO loves to do this stuff - and only four years after the real deal.

I surely hope they've rethought the best actor and actress bit when the former winner comes and yaks at the nominees with all that masturbatory crap. Seeing that the last two years was the nadir of the Oscars - so self-congratulatory and sickening. Then again, the entire show has been sickening for decades.

TCB · « **Reply #119 on:** February 24, 2013, 02:19:04 PM »

If the Oscars are starting at 5:30 Left Coast time, why are there already people walking down the Red Carpet.?

What could you possibly do for three and one half hours?
