Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

I am not looking for a come-back in yellow galoshes. What I'm looking for is those clearish plastic things that you wore over your shoes on rainy days, and they only just covered your shoes. They didn't go as high up your leg as a boot, like galoshes do. So, they weren't nearly as ugly as yellow galoshes. They were meant more for grown-ups because grown-ups would never want to be seen in those silly yellow galoshes that their children wore. And they fastened with a loop on one side that you pulled over to the other side and slid over a button. I would love to have a pair of those now. Where I work, the gutters get so flooded when it rains that I can't possibly leap from the street to the sidewalk without drenching one foot in a puddle. Does anyone here remember those clearish plastic things you wore over your shoes? I don't even know what they were called. I've tried a few times to see if I can still buy a pair, but I can't find them online. If anyone knows where I can still buy those, please do tell.


Amy, I  know exactly what you are talking about.  My mother wouldn't wear anything but those.  I haven't seen them in twenty years, but then I haven't been looking.

Well, you've read the notes, the notes wore yellow rubber galoshes, and now it is time for you to post until the yellow rubber galoshes-wearing cows come home.


I never had yellow galoshes.  I believe mine were red.  (Second hand probably.)  I did have a yellow slicker, like every other child in my kindergarten class.  And when it rains, like it is raining today; I can still smell that certain smell that comes from wet vinyl in a small enclosed room.

;D 

I'm guessing it is weather related.  We are lucky to have power.

The news reported a landslide near us.  I think it would have been beneficial to say how far up the road it is and not just that it is near the lake.  I certainly isn't near our part of the lake, that we were very pleased to see has filled up drastically.  We had never seen the lake water so low.

North Korea's doing, no doubt.

I cannot recall ever having galoshes.  I have often thought the clear ones to go over shoes made more sense.

I asked Keith and he recalls having black ones.  Either I had them and don't remember or my mother didn't think I really needed them in So. California since she grew up in England.

After a very cold couple of days, it's going to be in the 50's over the weekend, possibly as high as 59 on Sunday!

From DR TCB:
Quote
Is everyone familiar with those bed pillows, the ones with the armrests.  Well, I have had several over the years,  but I always hoped they would be very comfortable, but they never were.  So, I finally bought one last year from Hammacher and  Schlemmer.  And surprise surprise, it is wonderful.  It has heat and vibration, and a cup holder, and a reading light.  It is the greatest!

Shhhh, don't tell Keith, he will want one.


They make great gifts!

DR TCB I looked for your bed chair/lounger and couldn't find it.  I'm guessing they don't carry it anymore.


That is really weird.  I thought that I had bought it from them.  This one is similar, but it isn't it.

I saw this one and it does look comfortable.  Is there a tag on yours?  It is possible they changed the style this year.

I like that it fold flat.  We could put them under the bed during the day.

Today, I became a Redbox customer for the first time (I had a coupon for a free rental.)

Very simple process.  I no longer have to depend on the mail for my next Netflix, and I can just rent the movies that actually interest me, rather than signing up for one month.  Netflix is going to have to fix their problem with the U.S. Mail or their DVD/Blu-ray business is going to disappear very fast.

So, I rented A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES with Liam Neeson.  I understand it's pretty good.



It is very good and convenient for first run films.  You still need Netflix for anything older and for all the wonderful PBS shows.

Actually, anything older that interests me I've either seen or own on DVD.

Yes, I did, and passed up a free copy, thinking my bag would get too heavy.  One more wouldn't have hurt, right?

Silly!!!  You should have taken it.    Oh well, I'm sure your library will have it.  Goodreads sent me a notice today the book will be out in March and I truly was surprised I hadn't seen it in your books ;D

I think I saw it Saturday when I hadn't yet found the FedEx office in my hotel.  Knowing I'd be able to ship a box home changed my strategy when I got back to the exhibit hall on Monday.

DR Jane my library just got the new Lisa Gardner book, Crash & Burn.

Also did anybody else watch and love the CBS show Unforgettable (that CBS annoyingly cancelled after a cliffhanger)?

I loved that show. It looks very likely that A&E will be picking up the next season. I am super happy about this. I loved this show, especially with the changes they made in the last season.
