Forcing myself to sit still until the Macy's parade is over at noon.  Then I need to get some beets ready to roast in the upstairs kitchenette and create our traditional centerpiece, which features Hershey miniatures.

THanks to DR MIKE.....I am downloading the YouTube video.....we shall see what happens.

Do you mean saving the video as a separate file and watching it later? If so had does one do that?

[Jrand74]

DR MIKE if you use FIREFOX, you can use an add on to your browser that gives you a download option on the youtube video page.

I put the link in a message on page two.

[ChasSmith]

Before DR Jrand64 posted that, I googled for YouTube downloaders since I hadn't had one in a while, and chose "YTD Video Downloader" which got the job done.  I have since followed the two links to add the extension to Firefox and to be able to convert things.  Just trying to ketchup with 2014 here.

And a very happy haineshisway.com birthday to occasional dear reader and nice chap divarobbie.

Happy Birthday Divarobbie!

[TCB]

Whew!  I can finally get back on HHW!

I finally gave up last night.

[TCB]

And my special gift to you is

The complete television recording from May 6, 1952 of the London Cast of SOUTH PACIFIC with Sean Connery, Larry Hagman, Ray Walston, Muriel Smith (Whose voice was used in the film), Wilber Evans and Larry Hagman's mother as Nellie.

It was filmed on 16mm in the Drury Lane theater without an audience. Which was a little weird at first I was expecting entrance applause for its stars but there was silence and then I realized no audience.

It's not a great transfer but it's a chance to see how one of the great musicals was stage with the stage craft of the day and the compete performance of one musical's great performers.

Now I don't know how long this might be up on you tube so get to it as soon as you can.

It is 2hrs and 40 minutes with reels changes and filmed intro of posters and cast lists.

It saddens me that we are allowing Thanksgiving to be taken by the merchants.

How do we stop it?  If  you open it, they will come.

[Jennifer]

Happy Thanksgiving!

My 5 year old niece is completely obsessed with the song they sang from A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder.  She made me play it 3 times. And asked if i could save it so that she could watch it again tomorrow and Saturday.

I'm up, I'm up.  Didn't fall asleep till four, so that's about eight and a half hours of sleep, but I seem to have missed the morning.

In other news, I accepted the SHE LOVES ME gig.   http://www.wiltonplayshop.org/?page_id=252

Congrats, ChasSmith!  Hope you enjoy it!

FInding the co-worker vibes for DR GEORGE.....

Thanks, Jrand.

[Jrand74]

I like FormatFactory because you can use it to convert video and audio files to different formats very easily.

[George]

Well, I recorded NBC's Macy's Thanksgiving Parade coverage, and now want to record CBS's coverage, but the darned football game aftercrap (technical term) is on and I don't know if the parade will be joined in progress or if CBS will start it from the beginning since it's all tape-delayed for the left coast.  I set my DVR to record an extra hour longer, but it's getting filled up.

[George]

Either way, I have to take a shower and then hie myself to my sister's house.  We're all going to have dinner at my parents' house, but I need to stop at my sister's first.

Have a great day, all!

[George]

But before I go...

I am thankful for my HHW family.  Love you guys

Ditto!

DITTO, TOO!!

One interesting e-mail this morning, which would seem to finally put an end to some nonsense that's been going on since the end of April.  This is the first time that anyone involved in this thing has finally admitted wrongdoing on their part, so that was good.  They did stop short of the full admission but they know they have been in the wrong since day one.  They're never going to admit anything else and they're trying to actually close the matter for good now in order to avoid us doing anything else - we're discussing it, but my thinking is the matter will be closed.

[Jane]

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

And thank you to DR elmore & TCB for  cards.  I can only reply to emails when I usemy Nook or I would have sent a proper note.

[Jane]

I may be eating by myself in the kitchen tonight.

[Jeanne]

Happy Thanksgiving to all DRs!

[Jeanne]

Sorry you're not feeling well, Jane. I know it's a disappointment.

[Jeanne]

Bruce, what are the MOD DVDs you referred to?

FIVE FINGERS is available on Amazon, but not Netflix. sigh.

[Jane]

Thank Jeanne.  It is only a minor head cold, the disappointment is having to stay a good distace from people, especially my grandniece I have yet to hold.  Fortunately, before I got sick, I did getto hold and play with my cousin's grandson.

[Jeanne]

Jeanne!  Sorry about the typing (I blame Vixmom)  That was supposed to read DHA.

Oh, fish oils! I'm a fan of fish oils, which contain both DHA and EPA. Two of my trusted sources--Sherry Rogers, MD and Ed Callaway, R. Ph--heartily advocate fish oils for pain management. In, fact fish oils are good for you in many ways. My favorite one, which I've been using for many years, is Life Extension's Super Omega-3. The capsules are large, but go down easily and don't have any aftertaste. I see that Life Extension also has a vegan DHA, but personally I don't object to some animal sources.

Being open Thanksgiving Day isn't about Thanksgiving, is it? I don't object to a few food stores being open--that's actually a help. This new trend is about Christmas shopping. We can already shop online anytime. Has in-store Christmas shopping become an obsession? Personally, I'd like to see the whole Christmas thing dramatically reduced. And I don't think that need interfere at all with religious observances or seasonal musical events. Rant over.
