I can't get HHW to work on my kindle today. I forget what i had to do when we changed boards. Was it DR George who had a suggestion.

I used the same link i did a few days ago and it says "not available". If i type in the link it says" website registered coming soon".

I would try what i did last time if i could remember. :(

No Prince Alberts for me.

I remember reading an interview with the lead singer of a rock group called Everclear. He was shocked that so many fans had tattooed the name of his group on their chests, arms, etc. "What if we're a one-hit wonder," he asked (and they were).

He also got after them for announcing that they had gotten a Prince Albert. There's nothing cool about having to sit down to urinate for the rest of your life, was his response. He was a lot wiser than you'd expect from a rock star.

Tonight is the finale of Big Brother. And the premiere of Survivor.

I would probably vote for Andy based on game play. But the way he's acted on BBAD and how he talks about the house guests has turned me off of him big time. I really dislike when someone says one thing to your face (and acts like your best friend) and then talks non-stop hatred when you leave the room. It seems like everyone with the feeds feels the same way.

Had a brief fit of pique this morning. Saw on half.com a book called "Barbecue Lovers' Guide to Texas" from my publisher that was due next year. It had a cover photo of ribs low over charcoal and another of Sloppy Joes. Neither of these is Texas style.

Thankfully, the publisher says it's just a placeholder and not at all the real cover.

I went into the admin panel and spell check is enabled - I've never seen it - there is a note saying it doesn't work in all browsers.

It was there for me in google chrome a few days ago.

Actually if you spell a word incorrectly it puts a red line under it. So I think that is what i was remembering as spell check. It does this for me on HHW in google chrome. So that is my spell check.

DR Jane re: the Hair Bean.  It is a regular hair brush. Just the bristles are different.  What I meant by the difference is that there is no handle. That is odd to me.

You need a dumb waiter.

Well, singdaw isn't going to be local very much longer.

Maybe Larry needs someone for just a few hours a week.

Tonight is the finale of Big Brother.

This reminds me....

DR MBarnum my cousin in-law said that my cousin (aka the Voice of Big Brother) would not be able to take you, or anyone, onto the set to meet the people.  I'm sorry but I did remember to ask.

May you have many future romps on that mattress -- and rest when you need it, Elmore.

Back from a 2-stop shopping trip with Mom.  I made a delicious chicken pie for our dinner and now I'm chillin' in my recliner.

Kevin, are you preparing for an enforced vacation on September 30th?



Well, Ben, as it turns out, I'm taking off from Oct. 1- Oct. 8th anyway.  The question is:  will I be paid for those days?

Some big news from my former employer:

Dayton Metro Library Plans to Buy Hauer Music Building

Of course, they'd probably rather not use the name we peons gave to the parking lot they're buying - The Dead Body Lot.
