Here's a clip from youtube (of course there are many there to choose from) showcasing Harold Ramis as Marcel Cousteau (Marcel Marceau combined with Jacques Cousteau) from the 1970s show SCTV:

Today Keith discovered our hot water heater has a leak so he turned if off. Since it is 10 years old and we have well water we just ordered a new one which will be installed on Wednesday. Fortunately our bathroom has a separate heater from the rest of the house.

While Keith was checking out the water heater he noticed the pressure gauge for our water tank was down and we weren't running any water. This is a bigger concern and we hope an easy fix tomorrow. Upsetting is that we are losing/wasting water during our drought. This could have been going on for months undetected

Yikes!! Hopefully, it'll turn out to be not as bad as it seems!

I was saddened to read about the death of Harold Ramis; but, at the same time, I am a little surprised by the news headlines saying "Legendary Actor Harold Ramis Has Died"

Jane · « **Reply #98 on:** February 24, 2014, 06:15:52 PM »

Thanks DR George.

I agree DR TCB, I would not call him a legendary actor.

I guess that to the generation that grew up on Ghostbusters, he was.

There are obviously different definitions of legendary.

Oh my! Mine is 10 years old now, and the preceding one (the original one in the house) lasted EXACTLY 10 years!

Just today I had a visit from the local fuel company who supplies my oil and propane and maintains my furnace and a/c. They were doing a free inspection of the whole propane system as a follow-up to having installed the additional tanks and hookups for the generator. When we got to the water heater I mentioned that it was probably about time to consider having them replace it, blah blah blah....

Oy!

And another Oy! Actually, I already know I'm up for a replacement of the pump itself, and really must have that done this year. Not the tank, just the thing they fish out of the well and put a new one in. You can see how much I understand about these systems. Anyhoo, good luck with that, too, DR Jane!

I just got a call from my friend Shelly, asking if I want to meet her for dinner, so I am!

Be back later.

Good luck and keep an eye on it for leaks. Well water can be hard on plumbing. We figured why waste money and repairing when it is about time to replace it. The first office person I talked to said they had to come out and attempt to repair vs replacing it. I called back and spoke to someone else-lol. We have a 72 gallon heater they wanted to replace with a 50 gallon. We compromised with a 60 something gallon one. I don't remember exactly as Keith got on the phone to discuss why they recommended 50 gallons.

Thanks Chas.

This is our 3rd house with well water and seems the most complicated-maybe because we have lived here the longest and have a large area to irrigate.

I have also discovered all well water is not created equally. Our current house was the most difficult to get under control. Fortunately for me this is the house Keith takes care of vs me.

Watching a DVD of Dolores Gray on the Bell Telephone Hour. Included is Are You Ready, Gyp Watson from Destry. The Michael Kidd choreography in that number always gets me. What fun. I hope Martha Graham saw it. He satirizes her movements brilliantly, and without being mean.

Thanks for that link, DR Ben. I do subscribe to the digital daily edition of the Star-Tribune, but haven't kept up with it for the past few days.

Does anyone here have a SodaStream machine? I don't drink soda, but I do like to drink seltzer. The "flavor" cartridges look like they might be expensive, but if I only use if for the C02, it looks like it almost might be worth it. Just wondering if any DR has a perspective on this.

I don't, but it would probably not be used in any restagings of this classic:

Started watching Dearest Enemy, the old TV version. Plenty of fun in this. The music doesn't sound as charming as Elmore's version, but Cyril Ritchard is a hoot.

My mother has one. She likes okay... not overly thrilled with it.
