Has anyone seen:

I Killed My Lesbian Wife, Hung Her on a Meat Hook, and Now I Have a Three-Picture Deal at Disney?

Michael · « **Reply #6 on:** March 07, 2015, 04:13:17 AM »

And although I've never seen it, the film The Bad and The Beautiful is supposed to be a classic. Gloria Graham won her Oscar for this.

I am house-sitting once again in the Oakland Hills.

This time, I have Red in my charge (or vice versa). Red is an Australian Shepherd with herding instincts that he has honed to include his human captives.

Sigh.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #9 on:** March 07, 2015, 04:52:26 AM »

I think it is due to Red's presence and his attachment to me (!) that both cats are being MUCH more sociable with me. One is getting very chummy and the other has progressed beyond running away at first sight of me (she tolerates me in order to receive "treats").

Thanks, DR elmore3003, for running interference. I appear to be back.

Stupid DNS!

singdaw · « **Reply #13 on:** March 07, 2015, 05:48:07 AM »

It has been a crazy and stressful week. But I soon hope to be able to report news of great tidings. We shall see.

singdaw · « **Reply #14 on:** March 07, 2015, 05:48:48 AM »

In the meantime, I have a dear college friend visiting and staying with us. She will leave early tomorrow morning.

vixmom · « **Reply #15 on:** March 07, 2015, 05:57:09 AM »

I just finished catching up

Good morning, all! DR singsong is back so that is the current state of things. I must head down to Toyland, see my accountant and sign some tax forms, pick up some things to cart home, and cart myself home.

I need some time after that to tidy up the dump, vacuum, cart dome recyclable trash to hte basement.

And change all of the clocks!

Well we did indeed get hit pretty hard with the snow here started about 6 am and snowed until about 7 probably 6 or 7 inches accumulated

vixmom · « **Reply #19 on:** March 07, 2015, 06:00:12 AM »

because there was no real accumulation in the morning everybody went to work (except the schools; all the schools were closed)

vixmom · « **Reply #20 on:** March 07, 2015, 06:00:47 AM »

then about midday as the snow was getting deeper and showing no sign of stopping everybody decided to go home

vixmom · « **Reply #21 on:** March 07, 2015, 06:01:55 AM »

so the roads were clogged with traffic packing down the snow into a slick dangerous ice skating rink and making it impossible for snow plows to do their thing

vixmom · « **Reply #26 on:** March 07, 2015, 06:05:06 AM »

I had more then enough work to do so I stayed at the office until about 8:30

vixmom · « **Reply #27 on:** March 07, 2015, 06:05:50 AM »

then after about 20 minutes of defrosting and desnowing and deicing the van I toodeled home on the LIE in about 15 minutes

vixmom · « **Reply #28 on:** March 07, 2015, 06:06:06 AM »
