TOD:

I think the first album I ever bought was the soundtrack of Mary Poppins, though that might have been a gift. Either way, it got played and played for years.

The first book I remember buying was Frank Capra's "The Name Above the Title." Wonderful read, though his ego is a bit outsized.

Off to grab a bite to eat and then a meeting at church.

That guy that had the nerve to lecture me about eating the treats from Voodoo Doughnut, even if he is right, posted to his FB friends to go to a restaurant in Vegas and have the Bone in Rib Eye with the egg on top.

Keith & I are very tempted to hijack his post and rant about the fat content of such a meal and that he is recommending they eat a poor dead animal.

LOL! You should, DR Jane! Or tell them to have some Voodoo Donuts for dessert!

I definitely would have joined in. But I wasn't sure if he was a close friend of yours and didn't want to upset you.

I met him on the West Los Angeles group and he is one of the few people I am sorry I accepted as a friend. He has his good points or I would drop or hide him but I don't want to hurt his feelings. Keith thinks I should hide him, I'll see.

He won't know if you hide him

Right. I think he will notice I'm not around or commenting on his dog photos.

Cilla, my deepest condolences to all who loved Bob

Thanks Vixmom. Visitation is Friday and a service on Saturday. Relatives coming in from around the country, so I'll likely be E and T this weekend

Will the cats be ok for that long?

It'll just be overnight, maybe 24 hours or a little more. I've done it twice before and it hasn't been a problem.

I thought this time you would be gone longer.

That's a good one

A friend who lives in Eugene suggested we stop on the way home for more Voodoo Doughnuts

More TOD:

I have been trying all day to remember the first book I purchased with my own money and I think it was a book on old monster movies which I got back around 1974. I still have it, somewhere.

My sister and brother-in-law flew down to Medford today to take a look at my brother Jeff's home that is being built in Rogue River. Since they are gone, I will take mom out to dinner tonight, presuming she still feels like going when I get there.

Hmmm...well....I guess I can't think of anything else to post.

Oh, I did learn that I need to calibrate my new Smart TV so that I can get the best picture quality. Evidently TVs are calibrated at the factory, but so as to look their best in-store, which will not look its best for home viewing. This is a relief, as I have not been terribly happy with the picture quality when I watch a dvd or an old movie. Either everything looks like it was filmed on video tape (like a soap opera), or there is ghosting when some one moves around, or it makes people appear to move faster than they are.

I do wish TVs (and other electronics) could be more plug-n-play. I supposed someday they will be....again. First world problems, huh!

I went to the guy's page to see who our mutual friends are. I met him in the LA group yet we don't have a single mutual friend-guess they were smarter than I was. I found he apparently invited, as she accepted, my one Bernese Mountain Dog/rescue person who agreed with him.

Groan!!!!

Looks like we lost two wonderful Golden Age actresses over the last couple of days

Oscar nominated actress (The Corn is Green) Joan Lorring passed away at age 88.

And, someone who was never nominated for an Academy Award, but I am sure many here on HHW remember...Jane Adams who played the hunchback nurse in HOUSE OF DRACULA (1945) and the leading lady in numerous other B movies of the 1940s. She was 92.

The hunchback nurse!

TOD

I can't remember. LP's were usually gifts as were books. Keith and I purchased my first stereo together, probably just before we were married.

I either checked books out from the school library or my parents had them in the house. I'm guessing I purchased my first book in high school. My first recollection of buying a book was David Copperfield in 1966. I only remember I had to get it but I can't remember where we stopped for me to buy it-someplace in Westwood (?)

bk · « **Reply #108 on:** June 03, 2014, 06:17:38 PM »

While I can't be certain, the first book I may have purchased with my own money was probably the paperback movie tie-in of The Great Imposter, or maybe even the movie tie-in of Ben-Hur. Then again, it may have been a Jack Douglas book.

Library got a new (to me) Rene Clair movie, The Beauty of the Devil, based on Faust. Hope to watch it tonight.

John G. · « **Reply #111 on:** June 03, 2014, 06:21:26 PM »

But first, I have to pack.

I did not know that if you hide someone's posts on facebook then they do not see your posts. Um but won't they realize something is up when they see you never post again.

I do believe this was my very first stereophonic record player as discussed probably in Kritzerland. Got it from the Columbia Record Club. Amazing that you can find this stuff still and can even purchase it.
