Are others getting error messages?  I haven't.  If so, exactly what are they so I can report them before I leave in a few minutes.

[ChasSmith]

Nothing here.

DR Dan, I agree with your posts about the short attention span and being leery of the very popular entertainments. I suspect quite a few DRs share that.

If you like quiet films, may I suggest a French film that BK and I both love, THE HEDGEHOG. It's very French and I don't really know your taste, but it's not at all like the vastly popular Hollywood stuff. I haven't yet seen THE BOOK THIEF, but as BK reviewed it, I kept thinking of THE HEDGEHOG.

DR Jane the theatre I usually go to is stadium. And it bothers me a lot. The one on Wed is a new IMAX theatre so I have no idea. I am just praying that nobody around me will have perfume on. I will sit on an aisle. So it will only be the person in front and behind. I usually try to go to the theatre when it will not be full.

[Jeanne]

I'm very glad to know that our SoCal contingent is OK after today's earthquake.

Thank you, Ginny.

[Jennifer]

Time for DWTS.

[Jeanne]

Larry, what a heart-breaking story. Of course you don't want to lose them! They're your guardian angels.

Vibes you are very happy with the new super.

[Ginny]

For the first time in my life I'm watching DWTS.  I hope Meryl and Charlie appreciate it.

That is one hell of a story, DR Elmore.

You will always miss these people, but VIBES you get a really good new super.

The new super is Steve's son-in-law. He's a good guy and he was just here. The leak is indeed from the bathtub above mine, so I am stuck here tomorrow waiting for the damned plumbers to repair the problem they caused today. I can hear the water falling onto the floor and i will probably need another new bathroom ceiling. Color me Extremely Pissed.  That's No. 107 in your Crayola box.

[ryacko]

Not much time to be on right now, but I wanted to say:
THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE WONDERFUL HEALING VIBES FOR MY MOTHER!!

Bless you all for your kindness.

I hope to have word of better days for her soon.

Is he the one who helped you with the bookcases?

[George]

Well, I'm off to the parents' house for bring-your-own-dinner dinner.

Until later!

No. That's his grandson Dragan who lives in Serbia. He was visiting his family that summer.

Hey BK!  What's shaking?

[John G.]

And we're back...got this message for at least 10 minues:

Connection Problems

Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

I had the same problem. No problems now.

[Jeanne]

It sounds like a good family.

I have a good Croatian friend who is married to a Serbian. They are very down-to-earth people who I like very much. No pretense whatsoever.

[John G.]

Enjoy the show, DR Mike.

I say if the address is public, DR Ginny, go for the visit.

And DR Elmore, so sorry for your loss.

[John G.]

I've got a wonderful Irish concoction to keep me happy this evening. After the day I had at work, I earned it.

[elmore3003]

So . . . no one told the tenants above me about the leak and she just took a shower. My bathroom is a total shambles. I went up and spoke to her husband about the situation,we agree the plumbers are assholes, and he said that would be the end of the tub unril the plumber shows up. There's a good half-inch of water on the floor and it was pouring from the ceiling in about 10-12 places.

[KevinH]

Health vibes for DR ryacko's mother.

Sorry about that, but at least the neighbors were nice enough to pay attention.

Kathie Lee Gifford has launched a line of wine. She writes musicals, makes wine and introduces underage children to the joys of the workplace. Wow, what a renaissance woman!

The earthquake this morning was intense - short, though.  I just did what I always do - sat in bed and kept saying, "Stop, stop, stop" until the thing listened to me.  It probably wasn't the ten seconds I thought, more like six.

I read 5 but people talked as if it was much longer.

When the earth is shaking five seconds seems long.

I remember well.

It was indeed intense--lots of shaking rather than the rolling kind. Yes, five or six seconds, rather than ten. I normally just sit still and wait to see if something more is happening. Today, though, perhaps because I was sleeping, it scared me and I was thinking, "This could be a big one," and jumped out of bed. 

When you jumped out of bed where did you go?

There's a small hallway just off the bathroom, where the closets are. It's perfect--no windows and I could close both doors if glass were flying. We've had earthquakes before, of course, but I've never taken refuge there before.

I remember when we were told to stand under door frames, now the hallway sounds like the perfect place.

I haven't had too many problems with perfume at movies, thank goodness.  The stadium seating helps more with other issues than my knees, but they are far more comfortable than most movie theaters, especially the ones in town.

DR elmore I felt so very bad for you that I couldn't respond right away.  I was terribly worried who your new super would be and am greatly relieved it will be someone who will continue to look out for you.  You will also have news of how your friends are doing.

GROAN!!!!

If it had to happen to bad Steve's son in-law had already left, he could have helped you clean it up.

Started watching Finian's Rainbow. I love the soundtrack more than the movie, because the way Coppola cuts the musical numbers is irritating. Still, the first half hour of this has been beautiful. Then when night falls for the first time and the natural setting moves to the weird studio look, the magic doesn't linger. Also, Tommy Steele isn't in the first half hour.

[elmore3003]

I had so much corned beef I'm making it in two pots.  The first (smaller) one has about an hour to go.

[vixmom]

DR Mike is right, of course, that the meal and probably just about everything else have absolutely nothing whatever to do with St. Patrick or with being Irish.  I am none of the above, myself.  I just love the food, and will eat a nice corned beef at the drop of a hat.  And at the drop of another hat.
