Eight?

They've apparently fixed the avatar and smiley issues - I suspect both had to do with web address paths - I could see that in the admin panel but obviously I would have no idea how or what the new path was/is.

Enjoying "Buck Privates." Abbott and Costello are fun, but it's the Andrews Sisters who make the movie for me.

This is part of a complete Abbott and Costello film collection that the library acquired recently. They broke it into parts, with the first part having 12 movies. I don't know how many I can watch in a week. But they're fun.

Well, the good news is Bob is going to rent my spare office.  I'm glad it's going to happen and I really hope it works out for him.

Edith and I are now turning the break room into a second conference room, which after all the work I did this weekend,  just means rearranging furniture, we'll have to clean the file room to make room for the spare bottled water, and I'll take in a few prints to make the walls look a little better.  t will always have a microwave, fridge and sink, but it looks ok.

Bob hasn't started a business before and is quite nervous about it.  He's asked me to help him with all the detils, so I will.  I also need to write up an office sharing agreement, but that shouldn't take to long. We called the phone company today and got that set up. Tomorrow I'll help him get started with some of the other things he'll need to do.  I think once we get things set up, he's going to like the independence of having his own office

DR TCB, I don't want to miss congratulating you on 20 years of sobriety! We here at HHW are grateful that you took that step all those years ago, 'cause otherwise we might never have had the opportunity to know you!!

We love you, TCB!

Thank you so much, MBarnum.  You are quite right.  I was pretty close to the end of the line when I went to treatment; so I probably would have never been around to find HHW.  But you have all helped keep me sane and sober.  I love you, too.

[TCB]

Well said, DR MBarnum.


We do indeed love DR TCB!

Now the two of you have made me cry.

[TCB]

Well said, DR MBarnum.


We do indeed love DR TCB!

AGREED!! 

Stop!

Saw an interesting article today about the hateful, racist twitters posted after her win. I know that American's are not known for there knowledge of geography, but seriously....these idiots were posting about how angry they were that an Arab Muslim won Miss America! Oy. (She is of Indian ancestry and is a Hindu).

And at least one Conservative pundit was angry that this gal won over the blonde, tatooed, gun shooting/hunting contestant, saying that the contest is rigged by the liberals who hate the true American values that the gal he liked possessed.

Or the one who said she couldn't be Miss America, because she wasn't an American.

Hello. What an awful day in Washington, DC.  As Kate mentioned I don't work near the Navy Yard but it was still too close for comfort.  Of course, something like that could happen anywhere.  My heart goes out to the families of those killed.

Sadly, it seems we are becoming immune to these mass shootings.  With Aurora, CO and Sandy Hook all regular programming was interrupted and the newscasts concentrated on just that one story.  Today it was more like, this is what happened, now back to our regular programming.

What a day.

Vibes for all of us.

It appears that actor Mike Road died back in April at age 95.

The name may not be familiar but anyone who watched cartoons in the 60s or 70s, would recognize his voice, and his face would be familiar to viewers of 1950s/60s tv shows.






He is very well known for being the voice of Race Bannon on JOHNNY QUEST. (I am pretty sure that Race Bannon was my first crush as a small child).

He would have been mine, if I hadn't already watched Lloyd Bridges in SEA HUNT.

Good night everyone.

Sweet dreams.

 

[Sam]

Good night TCB.

You have beautifully expressed my/our feelings. 

Thanks, Jane.

I gotta tell you.

But I won't.

Good night TCB. 

Good night, Sam!

Finished The Spy Who Came in From the Cold - a great movie.

Too tired to watch anything else tonight.  I ate my two donuts - great.  My lunch was 450 calories - so stated in the CPK menu - so after the jog I netted out at 150 so even if the two donuts were six hundred each, which they probably weren't, I'm still okay.

DR TCB - this is what Wikipedia has to say about that:

Bob's your uncle is an expression of unknown origin, commonly used in Britain and Commonwealth nations. Typically, someone says it to conclude a set of simple instructions, similar to the French expression "Voila!" or the American slang "Hunky dory".

Thank you.  How lazy can I get, not bothering to look it up myself.

I went and looked at the Oppo line. They look very impressive - and they're pretty expensive.


Apparently also, there is a difference between "Universal" and "Region-Free."

Universal lets you watch Martian DVDs.

I am currently listening to DR Ben's wonderful radio voice 

Oh, that's right.  Nice review, Ben.

[TCB]

and it seems the smile is gone 

the wink is gone
"cheesy" is gone
Grin is gone
sad is gone
 and cool is gone 

but these remain


    angry
  shocked
  HUH
  roll eyes

  tongue
  embarrassed
  lips sealed
  undecided
  kiss

  cry

It is quite amusing reading all of these posts.  The system has now been restored, at least for me, so seeing these posts. "Here, let me post a smillie. "  "   You are right, no smillie."

And speaking of the movie version of "Into the Woods" (I'm sure someone somewhere in the world was )...Annie's Lilla Crawford Will Be Little Red in Into the Woods Film, Featuring New Song by Stephen Sondheim.

Lilla Crawford, who originated the title role in the 2012 Broadway revival of Annie, will play Little Red Riding Hood in the Disney feature film adaptation of Into the Woods, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures confirmed Sept. 16. It was previously reported that YouTube personality Sophia Grace Brownlee would play the beloved fairytale character.

According to Disney, production on the film began last week, featuring an award-winning production team led by Rob Marshall ("Chicago," Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides"), who helms the film, based on the Tony-winning original musical by James Lapine, who also penned the screenplay, and legendary composer Stephen Sondheim, who provides music and lyrics — including an all-new song for the big-screen adaptation.

That's a different girl from the one originally announced, isn't it?

Yes, Sophia Grace Brownlee was originally announced.  She made some YouTube video and Ellen DeGeneres had her on her show and Sophia (and her little sister) became famous for a few minutes.  I wonder if the original casting of her was to play on that hype and then they realized that she might not have actual musical theater experience (or talent ) and they recast her.  Just a thought.

And I also turned down the role.

I believe there were four volumes when they were released in 2004.  I have all of them - somewhere!

Well, they have righted the Costa Concordia.  Pretty amazing to see it upright vertical.
