DR George, these are shaped like traditional pillows, not those weird-looking little flat things.  In case you go looking for them, they're called "Pure Comfort Gel-Memory Foam Classic Pillows", and they were in a sale bin near the front of the store.  Let's see how the next couple of nights go, but I'm very tempted to pick up another pair.

Well, I didn't get to Costco, so I may try today.  I have to work concessions for a "children's choral music recital" of Songs for a New World.  The music director is a friend of mine.  He's a good music director, so it should be pretty good...if he's featuring his better students.  We'll see. ;)

And speaking of pillows, Jeanne wrote:

George, memory foam packs down rather quickly, in my experience. There are lots of types of memory foam, though, and I'm sure some are better quality than others. The pillow I'm using currently is foam, but not memory foam, and it's holding up very well indeed. I think I bought it at Kohl's for $25 or $30. The Sleep Number stores have an interesting assortment of quality pillows--not Costco prices, but nice pillows.

Happy slumber!

Thanks for the info, Jeanne!  I looked at Kohl's website and they have a LOT of pillows on sale right now.  I'll check to see if their local store has the same sale prices.  Some of them said "on-line only."  But I'd want to try them out in person anyway.  I wouldn't buy any pillow without feeling it a bit.

So how does captioning work on Netflix? Do they have a regular version and a captioned version that you choose between?

bk, if the BBC series Broadchurch is available on Netflix, you might enjoy it.

My seasonal fall allergy reaction is so severe this year that I'm actually contemplating going to an allergist and getting the shots - I believe a full treatment takes over a year. Has anyone here done this, and does it actually work? This suffering makes me want to believe that somewhere there is some relief.

I'll be watching the final 3 episodes of BOARDWALK EMPIRE, Season 4, today.

It's a great show.  Terrific music and production values.

Reports of an earthquake in San Francisco.  Hoping that DR Ron Pulliam is OK!

Good morning, all! Today, the depression won and I couldn't get out of bed when the alarm rang.  I forced myself out of bed around 9:30. I did not get to Toyland as I wanted, so I'll go on Tuesday. 

I'll finish up the Moross work, send off an invoice, and try to keep myself occupied. I hate this situation.

So sorry to her this, Elmore.  Have you seen the 100 Foot Journey?   Maybe it would be a good day to go see an upbeat movie.  I know that doesn't cure or fix anything, but it can't hurt.

Saw coverage of lots of wine bottles off the shelves.  If you like wine, you may want to stock up as this may be an excuse to raise the price

As soon as cost cutters opens I'm going to get my hair cut.  Then I think I should have everything I need for the interviews this week.  I could use a new pair of shoes.  My practice has been very casual, so I've really had to work on getting the wardrobe in shape for what's coming this week

I would love to see a movie, but I have only so much money in my pocket until September 2, and I cannot spend it on a movie ticket or ice cream. If this banking-debit card situation is not resolved by next Friday, that means that when my pension arrives in my checking account, I'll lose 2/3 of it on this $400 overdraft. I'm not poor at the moment; I am penniless.

Much as I have faith that the credit will come through on these fraudulent charges and all will be well, I can't count those chickens yet.

Sunday afternoon greetings!  Fr. Richard excused me from Lima today so that I can go to a girlfriends' tea party in Cincinnati with one or two of my Middletown friends this afternoon.  Good thing I wasn't with Richard, because at about the time we'd be arriving at church I experienced one of my epic nosebleeds that took almost an hour to subside.  Paramedic Rob was here and made sure I was OK before he and Mary Linda left for their church.  I had breakfast, then took it easy while finishing my book group book for September.  Gotta get myself in gear now...
