FESTOON, baby, FESTOON! I cannot believe it's already afternoon. I'm still groggy, and am trying to get ungrogged since someone is paying a visit in fifteen minutes.

Most shockingly, no one noticed I was gone.

Yes, I think that is right.

I'm not sure how these things work at other stores. But at Costco you put in the disk and it shows the resolution of each photo. By that she could tell which ones would not come out very well.

So are you saying that no matter what i do, adjusting the resolution on my end now will not improve the quality?

There is one pic of me and my niece and nephew that i really would like to print.

If the picture looks like it's pixelated, there's really nothing you can do except print it at a smaller size. Adjusting the resolution now will only break it up into a greater number of pixels. Sorry about that.

Actually, Pogue noticed you were gone but he didn't have a cellphone to tell anyone.

And no, Mr. Kudisch did not appear naked in CCBB.

Shucks. His chest is one of the reasons I remember the Tune/Reinking BIRDIE tour (or, in my case, the Tune/Nemetz tour) so fondly.

Sorry about that DRJENNIFER - I guess I don't know from what. LOL....I use PHOTOIMPRESSION and I thought I was changing resolutions. Maybe not.

I still have my TONSILs...

Which always seem to become an "issue" whenever I come down with some sort of major ears/nose/throat infection/crap - like last year at this time. UGH! I used to get strep "normally" when I was younger, unfortunately(?), it was not frequent enough for the doctor to justify having my tonsils taken out. And since the procedure is highly NOT suggested for adults...

I got my tonsils out when I was 26 years old. I had gotten strep throat and was on antibiotics for 10 days. As soon as I was off the meds, it came right back. They put me on it again for two weeks. Two days after that round was done, it came back. They put me on antibiotics AGAIN for an entire month! This time, it didn't come back. They told me that since I had gotten strep three times within six months, they could take out my tonsils (and it would be covered by my insurance). When I told people that I was getting my tonsils out (especially at age 26!) everyone had to tell me horror stories. One that I really remember was that a co-worker said that he had a friend (it's always a friend of a friend

) whose anesthesia wore off as the doctors were removing a tonsil from his mouth! Fortunately, stories like that don't bother me.

Anyway, I went in to the hospital on a Tuesday morning and was in the operating room at 11:30 a.m. By 1:00 p.m., I was awake and eating the cherry popsicle to show the doctors that there weren't any problems. By 3:00 p.m., I was back home and I called my supervisor to tell her that everything went well. I had absolutely no problems with the surgery or recovery. I felt pretty good. My biggest, hugest (meaning dumbest) mistake was that that Friday, my sister and niece and I went out to dinner (I was eating fairly easily by then) and I ordered nachos. I (sadly, painfully) didn't chew my food thoroughy enough. SCRAPE!! OUCH!!!

There was no serious damage at all, just pain. I do NOT recommend eating nachos shortly after getting one's tonsils out.

From Google's Home Page, I assumed it is DaVinci's birthday. Then I googled him to double check. It is.

Hmmm....broke that code pretty easily.

Media: Last weekend, I feasted on laserdiscs of "Shoes of the Fisherman" (how could I NOT rewatch this film after JPII's funeral???) and "Ryan's Daughter." Then it was the LD of "The Day the Earth Stood Still."

I also watched the DVD of "Sideways" and enjoyed it immensely. Just the wine references alone are giggle-worthy (i.e., the seriousness of the oenophiles and their rituals). I've no idea if Paul Giammati's character was knowledgeable or blowing smoke, but it was funny either way. I liked it...I really liked it.

And then I watched a BBC DVD on the last day of Pompeii. Also on the DVD is a second feature on the life of a gladiator. Quite compelling stuff.

In my CD player: Anthony Warlow and Brent Barrett.

No packages today. Still a bit groggy from almost twelve hours of sleep. But, boy am I glad I got that much sleep.

Thanks for the info. I guess I'm still sort of confused about digital cameras. Why would anyone take pics at a resolution too low to print?

I will look into trying to print it at a smaller size. And when I go to pick up my pics, I will put my disk in and see if my changing the resolution now did anything.

I still wonder how there cannot be any way to fix it now. Like I said the pic looks fairly clear on my screen.

Thanks for your help (and DR JRand thanks too).

I've heard Clark refer to them as kryptonite when he's with his parents, but they are officially "meteor/media rocks" when anyone else is discussing them.

In the comics that I read as a kid, kryptonite only turned up once in a blue moon. DR Ron is right that the writers use it ALL THE TIME.

Since I've been watching LOST this year, I've only seen a few SMALLVILLE episodes when LOST was in reruns. I'll probably catch up to this season's shows this summer.

Watched the first hour of THE TERMINAL today. Funny, endearing, unusual. I hope this isn't going to be a romance with Catherine Zeta-Jones coming up.

I should be able to finish it before I head off to the theater to see PROOF tonight.

Jed-congratulations! I will do my best to get there in June. Penny said she will go if she doesn’t have to be in L.A.

Iris-LOL-I would not want to sit behind Tommy Tune.

Next to him would be great.

Cellphonies is a very sad concept.

George thanks for sharing your evening and the photos.
