re: DR Jane's funny comment last night about losing weight by going to restaurants you don't like.

It's funny but I can't imagine eating out/taking out so much while trying to lose weight. I guess if you are doing it purely by calories then a lot of places now are listing those (so that part is good).

But here they don't do that (list calories). And most foods could have anything in them making them more fattening.

I feel like if I make the food myself then I know exactly what I am putting in it. And I can eat more fruits and vegetables and cook them how I like.

A restaurant in New Mexico listed all the calories which frustrated Keith.  He would have preferred not to know & hesitated to order what he really wanted.  I on the other hand was oblivious to the fact a calorie count had been provided.

I think a calorie count in the back would be excellent. So those who want to know can know. But those who don't want to know don't have to look. I know my sister mentioned being upset when she was in Vermont because the stuff she wanted to eat had so many calories. And looking at the calorie count made her unable to order what she wanted.

I am sort of glad it has been cold and rainy the past two days. Since my legs were oversore from biking so many days in a row. I hope to start again tomorrow. Even though it is going to be cooler this week.

Page four?  I think I've had enough irritation for one day, so it might just be a good idea to stop this nonsense and get some postin' goin' on.

Still up.  Funny, no supervisor has called me.

Nice plant DR Jane. Nice pic DR TCB!

A book on my library wish list showed available to check out.  I went to my Nook to borrow and download and it was already gone.  That was fast!  I have 2 books already checked out so I'm ok though my plan was to read this book before the other ones.

That seems rather odd.

At first I was thinking that DR Jane was saying that her library told her an ebook was available but when she went to download it she couldn't. Now I understand what she did mean.  It was a book on her wishlist that she hadn't yet reserved. But still it was fast. Well now you can reserve it right and be second?
 
 

I can't put a hold on it without removing something from that list.  I only get 6 holds at a time which is why I check my wish list once or twice a day.

So even if you are number 10 you can only reserve 6 ebooks at a time? Even if you won't be getting that ebook for a while? That seems odd. Can Keith get a library account and get 6 holds too?

What a great idea.  If I find I don't have enough books to read I'll do this.  Currently when I run out of books I purchase something the library doesn't carry.  Sadly there are too many books like this on my Barnes and Noble wish list.   I also browse the library for available books and have found a few gems this way.

My niece (who will be 4 this Friday) blabbed my sister's Mother's Day present to her. It was pretty funny. I guess don't tell her anything you don't want everyone else to know.

Also, I had her make 4 cards yesterday (a Mother's day for my sister, a Mother's Day for my mom, a birthday card for my aunt whose birthday is today, and a birthday card for my brother-in-law's aunt whose party is today). So we showed my sister 3 cards and so my niece says "but I made 4 cards".   I had told her the 4th card was a secret. But I guess she doesn't quite get it yet.

Cute.

Oh she also blabbed what the gift was. After all our hard work to make it a surprise. Oh well. It is partially my fault because I showed her on tv what they were getting my sister.  But only after my older niece had told her what they were getting her. But I probably refreshed her memory and made it visual for her by showing it to her. But apparently my dad had sort of accidently blabbed what the gift was already too.

LOL I guess she takes after your father

Actually it is probably good we are forced to know-lol

I'm glad your shoulder is better.

Thank Jennifer.

So TCB  how did you come to have a drink with Buzz?

[vixmom]

speaking of Buzz we just turned on The nerdist on BBC America and there he is!

[vixmom]

where have all the Posters gone?

[vixmom]

I just can't do it alone

[elmore3003]

And I am home from one of the most irritating shows I've ever seen, FAR FROM HEAVEN: good cast, meandering sorta music, sometimes good tunes in search of a song, but more often a string of notes hoping to become something. Then there's the plot based on a Todd Haynes "I hate suburbia and the upper middle class" film, but we've known since "Auntie Mame" that Connecticut for rich white WASPs is a trap of bigotry, antisemitism, snobs, and creeps, so what else is new, Mr Haynes? Kelli O'Hara's perfect life is destroyed by her husband's being gay and her unrequited friendship/relationship with a black man. It's all rather civilized, kinda boring, and completely eventless: nothing much happens and I hated most of the characters.  It's the epitome of a "why do this?" musical.

Ms O'Hara, by the way, is quite wonderful, as is most of the cast.

Beautiful flowers, Jane!

[Laura]

That's an awesome photo, TCB!

Still on.  Still no call from a supervisor.  If we stay on the rest of the night and all day tomorrow then I'll call on Monday morning and cancel the tech guy although I should make them waste their money and just show up.

[TCB]

So TCB  how did you come to have a drink with Buzz?

(Post Deleted)

On the internet, Buzz claims to have been sober now for over 30 years.  Who am I to dispute his story.  So, let me just say:
When I went out to the site of the Titanic wreck in 1996, Buzz was onboard the ship (as was Loni Anderson).

However, I was quite serious when I said that we were all warned never to ask Buzz about being the second man on the moon.

Ruth O'Day - that could be a drag name, couldn't it?

Interesting notes on Far From Heaven, Elmore. I loved Julianne Moore in the movie, but I felt the movie was a museum piece attempt to make a Douglas Sirk weepie. The musical has been talked about for years now, and I never could understand what about the story sings.

Great photos, TCB and Jane.

Happy (early) Mother's Day Wishes to all who fit the requirements!

2.5 hours of my life I'll never get back. And the musical isn't even a weepie; it's far too boring.  It's the theatrical equivalent of watching paint dry.
