As it happens, Panni, we sell cartridges at the store, ten per box, which charge bottles of water with CO2.  There's another cartridge for charging cream, I'm not sure what's in them, probably just oxygen.  They come ten cartidges per box; I'll check on how much the box costs.

I'll also check on what the bottles that hold the water cost.
The cartridges for seltzer, CO2, cost $3.50.

The cartridges for creme, N2O, cost $7.99.

We don't carry the bottles that hold the water, or the cream.  Which strikes me as a strange contradiction, but there it is.

Favorite cocktail:  Negroni.  

One part gin (Beefeaters is my preference), one part Compari, one part sweet vermouth, dash of bitters.  Shake with chipped ice and strain into martini glass.  Serve with slice of orange or lemon twist.
Negatori on Negroni, at least for myself.  I can't stand gin, never have, never will.

Greetings from Scottsdale, Arizona! That's right, I'm home. My mom isn't, though. She must still be out with her nine-year-old friend.

Not much has happened since wherever I was in New Mexico. Just a lot of sitting in the car.

But here is the picture I promised of the world's biggest cross.
Der Brucer and I drove past that thing on our eastward trek.

There's something wrong with the entire idea, people having to have "the world's biggest cross."

I'd think they'd get the hint, during a lightning storm sometime, but they'd probably take the hint in the wrong way.

Sad.

Good Afternoon/Evening!

Yeah!  I got my hair cut!  Well, technically I went to get a haircut, but I got my hairs cut...
Dang, on every first and third Thursday Eves you could have dropped by the Faultline (on Melrose, just west of Vermont) and had a good cropping done by the Clippers (Roger and Jarod).  And you could have told them that Woody and Bruce sent you (they used to know us regularly over at the Crest).

If you get a chance, drop by and give them our best.

I'll have to call it an early night, and everyone else can call me a wussburger.  We're having a drippy weekend, and that means extra business at the store.  Plus, I'll be there for the entire day tomorrow, staying extra busy since there will be just two of us working the entire day.

Sigh "Yannara!"

I should be frenzied, but I cannot do frenzy as one arm is incapacitated and one cannot do proper flails with only one arm, IMO.

I can do male model posings, however, as my right arm is fixed in its splint with a bend at the elbow.  It's perfect for those bent-arm poses you see with the arm dramatically poised across one's midsection.

Thus, I am my own modelling session in lieu of a frenzy.

Of couse, if my name were Dan I could pull off being harried....harried Dan, as it were.

I shall keep them in mind for my next cut.  Thanks for the tip!

Relax I'm back!  
Went to a collectables fair - why did I throw so many things away 30 years ago?
The price of things that were "free" with meals at fast food outlets -amazing.

Did I buy anything? No.

Has anybody seen that wonderfully moving Miramax produced film: Il Postino (The Postman)?...

Has Anybody Seen My Ship? --Ooops! Don't mind me!

I believe (again!) that movies were created to produce movies like this one!

-- Not new, I know but saw it on TV during my vacation! --
Wonderful film and great score. (IMHO)

DR Jane: Even the varieties of Twinings availabe are not what they were and the price has doubled! Have difficulty finding "Assam" which is my favourite and also "Orange Pekoe".  Earl Grey is usually available but I do not care for it - oily and too aromatic.

It always seems slightly strange to comment on posts from hours ago - I hope people go back and read the posts of "yesterday".

Must catch up with "The Leopard".  The reviews of the movie release (the recent one!) were excellent.

Well DRPANNI....it was a little bit of this and little bit of that....and then...well it was like the makeup counter at Saks.  I changed your hue and saturation and got your color a bit dauncy - but well....you look happy to be there!  LOL, and we can see your shoes now!

Now you know how Oprah felt when they put her head on Ann-Margret's body and put the whole thing on the cover of TV GUIDE.  She knew it was her...but....

I've been invited to a friend's house on Steamboat Island, which is about 20-25 minutes away.  She lives very close to the water and it's supposed to be fairly cool where she lives!  I'd heard that it's supposed to get up to 99° F today (again) and being next to some nice cool water will be much better than sweating in a sweltering house.  I'm going!  And my car is air conditioned...it'll be a nice drive.  I'll be back later tonight.  Have a good day, everyone!

I just got back from my friend Sally's house on the water and it was a wonderful place to be!  Sally and her husband Don have very tall trees all around their house and since they're directly on the sound, the temperature was perfect!  [It got to 99°F today at the Olympia Airport (which is where the Official Olympia temperature is taken)!  It broke the record for today, which was 95°, set in 1965.]  We (Sally, our other friend Holly, Don and I) just sat around drinking (I got a Diet Coke from Jack in the Box before I got there and Holly drank water) and talking.  We walked down the rickety stairs to their beach area and it was just a great place to be to get away from the hot temperature!  I was able to catch up with Sally and Holly (I don't know Don very well).  The three of us met in 1991 in a production of Camelsnot...I mean Camelot and have been great, close friends ever since.  

Anyway, that was my evening.

DR GEORGE thanks for the coiled index card idea....never thought of ....very good.

Jack, I have learned...from experience!  When I first started doing shows, I used to just read the script and cover the lines with a piece of paper.  Then I started to do the 3x5 card thing, but I didn't even know about the coiled index cards.  After dropping them a few times during several different shows, I got the idea to number the cards.  I still dropped them, but they were numbered...I knew what order to put them back into!  Then for one birthday, just before I was to start rehearsal for another show, a friend of mine gave me a couple of packs of the coiled cards as a gift and I thought that it was brilliant! :-* I've been using those ever since.

Very artistic, Jack!  And glad you like the idea of the cards with the wire coils.

I am now going to wuss-out and go to sleep.  It's much, much, much (that's three muches) cooler now than it was this after (99° indeed!) and I'm just plum tuckered out.  Night all!

Great use of the colour red in the movie too - stained glass, coloured slides, boots, etc.
