That is so odd about the Costcos in the US not serving french fries. I can't imagine not eating fries with my hot dog! What do they serve to go with the hot dogs? Chips?

Are hot dogs the main dish? Maybe you guys have a lot of options. We used to have hamburgers (not sure if they still sell those). We have Pizza (but only 2 kinds). We have smoked meat sandwiches. And sometimes I've seen things like lobster rolls (but i don't think they sell that anymore).

I think of potato chips with a hot dog, not fries. 

I never eat at Costco, except for the samples while shopping, and aside from pizza never paid much attention to the food.

Yah if you were going to a fair or something I would think hot dogs and potato chips. But they don't serve potato chips at our Costco. And for some reason hot dogs and fries go amazingly well together.

Do the other Costcos serve hamburgers? Pizza? Wouldn't people ever want fries with those?

Fries with pizza-not that I know of ;D

Now, I could see fries on pizza with a chili gravy, cheese and some ranch dressing drizzled on top, then sprinkle bacon over the whole thing and maybe a over-easy egg in the center.

If your goal was to make me gag you succeeded ;)

What? They sell something like that at Outback and a few other chain restaurants now, only without the pizza crust.

Waiting on the director's visit now.  Had several packages today, so that was nice.  Listening to music now.  But most fun was receiving this photograph from the director of The Brain From Planet X at Cassadega High School.  This is, I think, the first production since my original production to use a full brain head - and I kind of like it and in certain ways that was my favorite way to have the brain.  Once you begin using known actors, though, you have to kind of let them be seen.  But I always loved our full brain head - it always made me laugh.

For some reason so far this year I am much more disiplined re: starting a new book as soon as I finish my last read. In the past I have struggled with this often having a hard time starting a new book. I am not sure if it is because this year I have read a lot of books that are in the middle of series I love. Also I have read two trilogies from start to finish (normally I would have read each book as it came out).

Sometimes I wish I could take a break in-between books.  Sometimes it takes a bit of time to get into the rhythm of the new book, especially when I prefer the previous book.

Met with the director and shall shortly be on my way to sup with friends - a Korean barbecue place I've never been to - I'm frightened of it, but hopefully I'll like it.

I think the standard Costco special is just hot dog and soda.  If they have anything at all, side wise, it's probably a bag of el-cheapo potato chips.

I actually had the Costco hotdog special for lunch today -  It is a 1/4  hotdog (sauerkraut on the side if you so desire and I do!!!) and a fountain drink for $1.50  American

Looking forward to DR George's report on the quality of the REMEMBER WENN copies.

I watched the entire first episode and loved it as much as I remember!  The visual quality was not bad at all...but when checking a couple other episodes, I noticed that they're not very consistent.  One had some problems for a few moments that, fortunately, didn't run the whole episode.  So far, I'm pretty happy with them.  We'll see about the rest. ;D

Yes DR ELMORE you are correct......being put in a precarious position by others so that a step you take on your own in any direction results in a fall - is a very common and annoying dream about business/professional circumstances.

Please deposit $35 in your own PayPal account.

That seems unfair to charge DR elmore $35.00 for two days in a row.  Instead, why don't you bundle the two together and charge him a straight $75.00.

Last night I had a dream. Jason Graae was starring as the Phantom in "Phantom of the Opera." He got tickets for us, and we were going to see his show. On his day off from the show, we saw him playing the pipe organ at the mall. Then he showed us that he is immune to rattlesnake venom by reaching into his suitcase so his rattlesnake would bite him. Oh - Sandra was wearing a very frilly pink dress and an ugly hat.
  Are you sure it was a dream?  It sounds to me like a normal day at your house

Do you like the pool water in your hair?

Costco used to have courtesy cups for water, or also in my case for a couple of gulps of Pepsi when I sampled something I was slightly allergic to.  Fizzing away whatever I ate helps when I begin to have a reaction.

Evening all!  Well, we made it though another week!

I dreamed about going to Office Depot and trying all the chairs but not liking any of them.  That's because the new boss told us to make a wish list of things that we would like to have to help us work better.  My chair is twelve years old and has been hurting my back.

I will be going to Office Depot tomorrow to try their chairs--I hope it's not a repeat of the dream.  I have to go to Office Depot because that's where the county has it's contract for office supplies.

Speaking of pool water.  DR Jennifer does your pool use chlorine?  Ours is supposed to be only saline but I know they add something that smells like chlorine.  A friend with a daughter in Sweden said chlorine is illegal there.

Very nice costumes!  The Mommy in me needs to ask this : The kids look a little younger than I expected -  do you have 'Jr" version that is somewhat less "suggestive"?
