Went and had some penne pasta with creamy tomato sauce - first good meal I've had in three days and it WAS good!

Sounds yummy.

We're watching college football - Cincinnati at Tulane. Go, Bearcats!

I just finished my annual self-evaluation.

Now, before the end of November, I will have to do the evaluations of my staff...all five of them.

George · « **Reply #125 on:** October 31, 2014, 05:34:29 PM »

I'm just very glad that I'm not in management. Some of them supervise dozens of staff, which means that they have to do dozens of evaluations! AND they're all in different buildings! I can't imagine that

We just finalized the cover for MURDER IN BABYLON, my forthcoming William Desmond Taylor novel, which should be available on Amazon and elsewhere by early December. BearManor Media is publishing.

The image is, apparently, too large to post here, but it's on my FB page if you want to take a look.

Druxy, will you be reading TINSELTOWN, William J. Mann's new book on the subject?

I would not want to self-evaluate. Doing it on others is bad enough.

But what IS an implant? Isn't it a cap of some sort or tooth of some sort?

It's a fake tooth where part of it is implanted into your jaw in the hole where your tooth used to be...or something like that. It's a permanent fake tooth.

Exactly. It DOES sound like that'd what you'll be getting. I believe DR Ron has mentioned having one.

They're out but they haven't come here yet. I don't really understand parents who pass this house by on their way to other houses nearby - it's mind boggling, actually. It's right in front of them, well lit, the gate is open for easy access, and yet these idiots pass right by.

bk · « **Reply #132 on:** October 31, 2014, 06:20:32 PM »

Well, then a fake tooth is what I'll have. In four to six months.

Good evening. I am pooped. A group is using my church facilities for their yearly board meeting and I have been busy in the kitchen and other duties to make them feel welcome.

Jane, I really liked THE BLETCHLEY CIRCLE, both seasons. Of course, I'm a former nerd. (Some might even say I still am one.) I love these sorts of stories.

A post is implanted and then a crown goes over it. If your bone wasn't good more work would be needed before doing the implant, which is why your dentist mentioned your bone quality.

I'm sorry, and surprised, there isn't a third season.

One year, while living in Alexandria, VA, I hadn't had time to purchase a pumpkin and carve a jack-o-lantern. I heard one mother say to her children that if there was no jack-o-lantern outside they shouldn't come to the door! WHAT?!! I'd say if no lights were on they shouldn't come to the door.

And now, I'm off. I'm leaving work to go to my sister's (the whole family will be there), and then I'm off to a party at a friend's house. My costume is my regular usher outfit. I also have the fake body that was used for "The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged) [revised]" and I'm going to carry it around (until I get too tired of it...it's kind of heavy) as an example of what can happen to an unruly patron.

Until later!

Have you seen some of it, then?

Jane · « **Reply #140 on:** October 31, 2014, 06:28:43 PM »

DR Jeanne I'm not sure why that makes you a nerd, guess we are as well then. I do love WWII stories even if this takes place after the war.

The last book, "His Majesty's Hope", in a series I'm reading mentioned Bletchley Circle.

Odd but that is a possibility. Bruce is there anything different about your house than the others in the neighborhood? I know when I took the children the only houses we skipped were the ones without lights on. We also did the houses will steep driveways that others skipped.

It must be Bruce's hilly driveway.

(Bruce's house is on flat ground and it's a short walk from the sidewalk to the front door.)
