My question to BK:

Any more original cast albums in the Kritzerland pipeline?

By the way, why do I have to keep typing Blu-ray? Why don't people use an acronym like BR or BD or BRD?

An excellent question, DR Doug R. I do it differently all the time, depending on context. One option I kind of like, while not falling in line with DVD, LD, BD, etc., is the abbreviation BLU.

I bought some packs of DVD plastic sleeves. I thought I'd put each DVD together with the DVD cover, flat, inside the sleeves which will save a lot of space. I can then store the original DVD boxes in the attic. All I need now is some sort of container to place the boxless, sleeved DVDs in. Obviously it can work for Blu-rays as well - but I only have about 120 of them.

By the way, why do I have to keep typing Blu-ray? Why don't people use an acronym like BR or BD or BRD?

This is what I am doing, too, DR DOUG R - but I am using the sleeves that are punched for a three-ring binder and putting them in there = and sheet protectors to hold the covers. It's amazing how many DVD's/BR that I can get in a small space that way. I am saving a FEW of the cases, but not many in case I ever want to loan a disk or use it away from home.

Good idea DR Jrand62. I was beginning to think along those lines. I think A5 ring binders are the way to go. The sleeves I have are big enough for me to punch holes and put them in the binders.

DR DRUXY was Barbara's voice in real life the same as the one she uses in the movies?

Did you ever have the feeling that you wanted to say to her: "Room for one more, honey...."

Ask BK: Regarding "Leave Her to Heaven" -- when FSM issued the soundtrack many years back, the final track was missing the choral overlay. Has that overlay been lost to the ravages of time, or will it be on the Kritzerland issue?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #45 on:** April 17, 2013, 08:18:25 AM »

I now musts and needs to be running some errands at: Trader Joe's (for evening snack material), Guitar Center (for cables), Home Depot (for water softener salt pellets), Costco (to ask about tires), the library (for a DVD I'm happy to rent, not purchase), and perhaps a bite to eat.

Not in my experience! But there are degrees of expense...from groan to ouch.

I'm guessing Mikey is going to have an ouch experience.

Have you ever heard of Tate's Bake Shop cookies? I'm addicted to the chocolate chip-walnut. I'm told the butterscotch-pecan is a dream, but local suppliers don't carry them.

Trader Joe's carries its own brand of chocolate chips which are baked/packaged by Tate's. Whereas Tate's has a greenish package, the Trader Joe package is a yellowish. Otherwise the packaging is the same.

Actually, aside from the cost, it will be fun. The dental assistant is a gal from The Phillipines and she just cracks me up. She is very sweet and very funny. I always look forward to seeing her.

MBarnum · « **Reply #50 on:** April 17, 2013, 08:59:21 AM »

Yes DR Ron Pulliam, it will be an ouch experience! After insurance it will cost me around $300.00.

Of course, if I was one of those without any dental insurance it would be much worse, so I am terribly thankful, actually.

Tomorrow I go to see the Sleep Clinic doctor as my sleep apnea has been worsening the last few months. My fear is that I will need to do another sleep-over at the hospital which will cost me, after insurance, another $500-600 dollars. Again, very thankful to have insurance, but still...ouch!

It also means that chances of taking a vacation this year are getting slimmer and slimmer.

MBarnum · « **Reply #51 on:** April 17, 2013, 09:00:39 AM »

I really should not complain at all, though. I feel very, very bad for those who do not have insurance coverage at all. If I did not have insurance coverage, I would not even be here.

Laura · « **Reply #52 on:** April 17, 2013, 09:11:44 AM »

Our dentist stopped taking our Blue Cross. Blue Cross never covered much, anyway. My crown cost $900 after insurance. That was an expensive bowl of popcorn!

She was quite a bit like her screen image.

I'm beginning to think this ROBERTA recording is cursed! We've found the ideal leading man replacement, who wants to do the recording, and he's committed to a trip between August 11-18. We could rehearse him in New York, but he'd miss rehearsing with his castmates between Aug 13 and 15, but I need him in the studio the morning of the18th to record. If there were delays or flight cancellations, we'd be screwed.

Damnation!

Ben · « **Reply #56 on:** April 17, 2013, 09:31:38 AM »

Seriously, sorry to hear about more Roberta problems. Hope they can be worked out soon.

TCB - Are people taking that story as the truth? Holy ship! (to,praphrase that TV commercial that I can't believe they're getting away with, but if they got away with Meet the Fockers, LOL...)

It is mostly friends asking if this is fact or fiction. There are many more far-fetched stories floating around that are being taken as truth.
