6:45pm, and I have the check, which I cannot deposit until tomorrow, along with the other mail and a few packages. The postman dropped all the magazines and parcels on the floor under the postboxes, so you had t sort through to see if any were for you.

The manager of my local post office is a two-faced windbag who does as little as possible beyond establishing ridiculous situations at the station for her employees to deal with and I live for her retirement before someone murders her on grounds of terminal stupidity.

We always make sure our mail is only ours and not a neighbors, which happened on a regular basis when the mailman was new. It rarely happens now and on the whole we don't have problems.

I feel bad for you, this is crazy.

Do any DR"S utilize the library to borrow books and DVD"S?

Yes, my library has lots of classics! I will try to get it soon!
I basically watch all my dvds this way. My library gets most new releases. And it is free to borrow.

Does your library get the old classics? I wonder if it has "The Uninvited" with Ray Milland.

I hope after all this you enjoy the movie.

I also watched The Bad Seed the other day on TCM, even though I have it on DVD. It's one of my favorites. Eileen Heckart is outstanding, not to mention Patty McCormack and Nancy Kelly, though Nancy is practically hysterical from the very beginning. I know her over-the-top performance has been discussed for years. Henry Jones was great too.

Henry Jones was great, not that he was bad in anything he did. I had the privilege of spending an evening with him and he was just as interesting in person.

DR Jane - I guess it is too late now, but too bad you can't request that your handyman use one of the new "fume-less" paints.

It was the primer and not much to be done about it. His wife has an extreme sensitivity to chemicals so he does what he can. He warned me it would be a problem

I've had worse in that so far it isn't bothering my breathing much, just making me itchy and borderline headache. Our bedroom is ok.

Storm damage in Holland.

I'm glad DR Doug missed the storm and hope he had a gentle flight to Frankfurt. I once had a very windy flight from London Gatwick to the Isle of Man. It was not a pleasant flight.

I received the following email from Goodreads and am wondering if anyone has read any of these books:

Before he wrote Jurassic Park....................................... Michael Crichton was an honors student at Harvard Medical School writing paperback suspense novels on the side, under the top-secret pen name “John Lange.”

Lange wrote eight books between 1966 and 1972…then vanished. The books were unavailable for decades, until now. All of John Lange’s works are back in print for the first time in 40 years – and the first time ever under Michael Crichton’s real name.

I don't know how many old classics they have, but I'm sure some. When I type in "Ray Milland" I get Love Story and Dial M For Murder.

The handyman is working on week two at our house which includes dry walling & painting. Today he used a primer that really stinks. I got out of the house for awhile and went for a swim. I need to get out of this room and go as far away in the house as I can get from it.

I would not like that smell. I am crazy around smells. Don't like paint.

I'm going to watch Dancing With The Stars now. I hope Derek's (my favorite pro) back is well enough that he can dance tonight.

I haven't read them. But that sounds pretty cool.

The man on the recording at Sterling's (for the upcoming Kritzerland show) says the dress code is "cocktail/upscale casual." I hope I wear the right thing!

No visible thongs. No pants pulled up below your butt. No gang colors. Do you think you'll make it?

Paint today is sooooo much better than it used to be.

Either I'm getting used to it or the smell is improving. I have a mildly irritated throat and some itchiness but nothing else.

Thinking it was better I breathed normally and then realized I have been taking shallow breaths-lol

How could I gave forgotten THE INNOCENTS? I don't find the James novella at all frightening, but the movie sure is creepy.

Creepy and sad.

I think I was probably 11 or 12 when I saw THE INNOCENTS. I remember at the end of the film when the credits were running, I realized that my shirt was soaking wet and I was very cold. It was how I learned what a cold sweat meant.

Good evening. I was out the door this morning before the sun rose. I saw a bobcat and a bald eagle. Not a bad way to start a Monday.

Happily, I got the new cast album of Carrie free - for the most part it's just a bore and I especially am tired of the gal who does the vocal arrangements for all the "hip" "rock" shows - everyone sings in fourths and fifths and it's completely tiresome. But who didn't know that every community theater and small theater group wouldn't be doing this show? They think they're being cutting edge - obviously if looked at realistically one would know it's a dog, but still they line up to do it. And usually the "critics" in those cities can't wait to say how brilliant it is.

No, the community theaters will do it, not because it is cutting edge, but because it will pack them in the seats.
