I think dentists get special training for that look. It always precedes some costly resolution to what they perceive to be your problem.

I think you're right.

Congrats, Ron, on winning the departmental charity drive. I also think you're right that the people who contribute the most are often the ones who know first-hand what tough times are like. IMHO.

TOD:

HAUTE CUISINE

I wasn't in the mood for the usual stuff last night and watched this instead. A nice little film.
Don't know what I'll watch tonight.

I'm off on a trip for most of the weekend, so will miss New York Halloween festivities. The next-door neighbors do it up very classily and festively, and have started putting up their decorations.

What do your neighbors do to "do it up"?

Page 2! Here's a picture of Mom and me at a Halloween party in the early '60s. I was a wind-up doll with a big foil-covered cardboard key on my back. Mom was, well, Mom...

Ginny you are simply adorable.

I am hoping it won't rain tonight.

I'm hoping for rain here. We haven't had any in many months. According to one forecast, we may have some tomorrow. It's very overcast today and looks like it could rain.

No rain for Halloween but rain for those of us who desperately need it!

I've actually had either the fan or the AC (or both) on almost constantly since May. The weather's only now cooling down.

The 41st Annual Village Halloween Parade ends at our street (literally, it goes from Spring Street and 6th Avenue in Soho to 16th Street and 6th Avenue in Chelsea) so we don't leave the house after 6 or 6:30. It becomes a madhouse. We can see most of the remnants of the parade from our window so there is no need to try and beat the crowds and watch it on the street. We just watch the dispersing crowd from our window.

The convenient way to watch a parade. I've only seen our local children's Halloween parade once, and that was because we were having the floors refinished and stayed at a hotel on the same street as the hotel.

LIBRARY FINDS THIS WEEK:

SON OF GOD ( I Renewed it, watched it last night) EXCELLENT!!!

TEA WITH MUSSOLINI, I saw it many years ago and can't remember much, so I thought I would try it again. Anything with Cher,
I usually like. Also starring Judi Dench, Joan Plowright, Maggie Smith, and Lily Tomlin.

HELEN

THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL, I also saw this a few years ago, another one I thought was EXCELLENT. I highly recommend!

GOD'S POCKET, One of Phillip Seymour Hoffman's last movies.

MONUMENTS MEN

WORDS AND PICTURES

Have any DR"S seen these. Comments please!!!

DR Kate, have you seen BRIDES OF CHRIST? It's an Australian TV series that I enjoyed and thought was very well done. I think you'd like it. Not likely at your library, as it's not that well known in the US, but worth the trouble to find.

Regarding our "Stone Soup" entry:

We won! We won! By 2 points, we WON! We had 4 other departments join up as one to try to beat us. The trouble they had was that the people who can "afford" to contribute only bring in a little. It's those who know what it is to run out of food who contribute the most. Since our department is more blue collar than white collar, we get more contributions.

In my humble opinion, of course.

We decided, though, that this would be the last "intramural" competition. Next year, we will work together as an Agency and put forth our efforts to defeat other agencies (who joined the competition last year). (This year, only the food will be combined to represent our agency. Our (BMD) winning theme will be the County submission for our agency. We will not win. Last year our food donations were less than half that of another agency's. Oh, well.

Congratulations though I don't know why the collar color should make a difference in the donations. I'm not doubting or criticizing your statement & I get that people who have never gone without don't know what it feels like.

I think it is great your work place has the competition to collect food.

I'm so excited.

I get one extra hour of sleep this weekend!

Oh! How I hate to get up in the morning when it's cloudy and rainy.

I've actually been getting more sleep with the darker mornings, but then I rarely have to set the alarm.

Thank you, DRs Jane and Jeanne, for the comments about my photo.

Does BBC America show prrograms unedited? I was watching an episode of TORCHWOOD today. One of the main characters (Owen) had just made love with a gril from the past (don't ask) and afterward he said to her, "Maybe we could become f*** buddies. I was kind of shocked, because I know the series was made for BBC America. Are they allowed to say that on BBCA?

Here's another photo from the 1961 Everett Elementary Camp Fire Girls' Halloween party. You can see Sharon holding the key on my back.

I remember that the first time it was broadcast. I thought that it was pretty cool...both the language AND the topic on the show!

I shall take the Amoxacillan until it is gone, for sure.

I shall shortly take a shower, and then get in my Halloween costume as The Old Jew. It's just my usual clothing.

Your description sounded like an implant to me.
