How the heck does spellcheck change much to nuclear 😆

BK, The Red Balloon CD is wonderful, a real joy to listen to. But I'm blown away by the heretofore unknown to me Le Voyage en Ballon. Beautiful stuff!

Glad you like, dear reader ChasSmith. When are you comin' to LA? Come for The Brain on November 7. When we opened the show back on my birthday in 2006 we had a real haineshisway.com get-together here - let's damn well do that again and then we can all go to - Genghis Cohen!

Some nice, cheap flights available if you book early.

BK had a question a day or two ago that went something like: What movie did you love as a kid that you hated as an adult?

Last night, we watched MR. BUDWING with James Garner. I had seen it when it first came out in the mid-1960s. I was in my mid-20s then, and I recall being quite moved by the picture.

Over the years, I've read nothing but negative things about the film, so we watched it again last night.

Except for some of the performances, particularly Jean Simmons, I thought it was a turkey. I assume that I liked it back in the 1960s because I was in the right frame of mind at that moment.

I didn't like CASABLANCA the first time I saw it (because I was expecting more of an action kind of movie), but now it's my all-time favorite film.

I also didn't like YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN the first time, only because I thought I was going to a screening of THE TOWERING INFERNO at Fox and I got my dates mixed up.

MEGA, MEGA VIBES to TCB's great nephews, niece, and the whole family!

I hope you're able to see steady progress.

Jane, I went on a Celebrity cruise once and found the food very good. I liked the line better than some others I'd been on.

I think one's enjoyment of a film can have a lot to do with where you're at at the time.

I didn't like my new Macbook at first, but one by one I'm sorting out the problems. Apple made a number of changes that in my mind just weren't improvements--and I'm at a loss to see how anyone could think they were. In my view, changes should offer substantial improvement--or don't do them. It's such a hassle to get over the learning curve.

Nuclear exercising sounds quite strenuous, is it effective?

Oh, so it is on Nov 7. I'd put Oct 24 on my calendar, put took it off when you said it'd been rescheduled.

There were dreams about overdue payments and statements. They all made me want to stay in bed and not leave it. Ever.

I didn't want to get out of bed this morning, either.

Unfortunately my bro (who was working the grill) asked everyone hot dog or hamburger? Most people opted for one of each ( I was content with a hot dog). Then after we were all done he brought over the platters of barbecued chicken, steak and vegetable kabobs.... Which everyone was too full to try

vixmom · « **Reply #79 on:** August 28, 2016, 05:08:28 PM »

I felt really badly that it all went untasted.

It was a lovely day. Low 90's , no humid and the slightest breeze. It was very nice sitting out on their back porch

A good time was had by all

Larry - Fascinating story yesterday about negotiating contracts. Excellent advice indeed!

They just got back from a very nice tour/cruise, Rome, Venice, Pompei and then a cruise to Greece

vixmom · « **Reply #86 on:** August 28, 2016, 05:15:46 PM »

They had some really lovely pictures and had a great time and good stories

Not a happy camper.

Here's a thought - tell us what the problems are - there should be no issues with Word if you've been doing regular updates. I have a brand new Mac, as you know, and I have not only had zero problems (save for one updating thing that was a bit confusing), everything works better than ever. So, what KIND of Mac (laptop, desktop) and which model?

Again, I don't see what a learning curve problem would be? So can you tell me the issues, because I'm really curious.
