And what would like today?

Hey, where'd they go?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #61 on:** January 05, 2015, 03:02:51 PM »

Back from some errands:

Picking up a few goodies from Trader Joe's, retrieving tux shirts from the cleaners, buying a few Pentel mechanical pencils at OfficeMax, attempting to pick up contact lenses without checking first to see if the dr.'s office was open today (so of course it wasn't), and looking in Barnes and Noble for something that wasn't there).

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Site is oddly slow and sticky for me, for the first time in quite a while.

I thought that it was just me and my computer, but I notice that it's only HHW. $:-\$

Yes, I alerted them to it about fifteen minutes ago - they're checking it out.

Still seems iffy to me.

I know it's not Friday, but I just received (from Amazon) the 10-disc boxed set compilation, The Complete Recordings of Bert Brecht & Kurt Weill, as well as Laura Benanti's In Constant Search of the Right Kind of Attention.

George · « **Reply #67 on:** January 05, 2015, 04:09:20 PM »

I'm now listening to the 1930 "Die Dreigroschenoper." Then, I'll listen to Laura Benanti, then another Brecht/Weill CD.

I just had trouble connecting.

This morning I emptied and cleaned out a good amount of the cabinets in our bathroom. My energy is gone but I had better put everything back in so we can move around in there.

10-disc complete recordings?

that's a lot of Brecht-Weill! Is there a complete MAHAGONNY? What a great score!

Well, our viewing life has changed! We got a late Christmas present, a Roku 3. Ant's mother saw it on sale and decided we needed one and sent it to us. It arrived today. What a box of stuff! Part of the fun is YouTube. You can watch the videos on the television instead of the computer screen. I've paired the laptop with the Roku box and I can search from the keyboard instead of on screen and then send the clip to the full size 32 inch tv instead of the 15 inch laptop screen.

Evening all!

Sorry Dear Elmore but I have to ask-- Oh, say can you see? ') I'm glad you got your eyes checked. I hate those drops but now that I have diabetes, it has to be done.

Monday, back to work. Blah. It's over rated.

Glad to read you got the dispute handled, DR BK.

Not much else going on. I'll be going to bed around 9:30. I woke up sometime after 3 and could NOT go back to sleep so I'm tired already.

Have a good evening all!

I don't know if it's "complete," but it is on two CDs. Disc 1 (act 1 and beginning of act 2) is 61:43, and Disc 2 (the rest of act 2 and all of act 3) is 74:20.

Nice gift. We would like to update our viewing to stream from the computer to the tv.

We get the drops, mostly have over the years.

Jane · « **Reply #77 on:** January 05, 2015, 06:37:12 PM »

It is funny, Keith prefers to get his drops in the morning and be done with the annoying vision before we watch tv. I prefer to get mine in the afternoon and not deal with it all day.

Jane · « **Reply #78 on:** January 05, 2015, 06:41:25 PM »

Since I trashed much of what I pulled off the shelves it didn't take all that much time to put everything back. I then cleaned off 3 more shelves.

It really hurts to trash stuff, such a waste but I am not using what I trashed. I'm saving the clothes & other things I don't want to give up until last.

That's pretty cool! I know a few people who have Roku and really like it. My Blu-ray player can stream from YouTube on my TV, so that's what I do. I otherwise don't have a computer input on my TV, so I can't do what my sister does, which is have her big-screen TV be her computer monitor.

And now, it's time for me to leave work and go home.

Be back later.

John G. · « **Reply #81 on:** January 05, 2015, 07:46:24 PM »

Just back from more than two hours of dance class. Who knew that those muscles in your back were meant to be used? Tomorrow morning will be a surprise. And not necessarily a good one.

John G. · « **Reply #82 on:** January 05, 2015, 07:48:44 PM »

It's really cold here. Not fun.

John G. · « **Reply #83 on:** January 05, 2015, 07:58:18 PM »

Starting to watch Idiocracy, which is really funny in its first 10 minutes.
