Emily, darling, tell the Sultan he is behaving like a poop. A poop, I say, and I say it snarkily.

I am thankful to have all you wonderful Hainsies/Kimlets out there in the dark - a finer group of people there aren't.

Well, keep on it, Em, for we must have him respond and return, not necessarily in that order. By the way (BTW, in Internet lingo) he always has his "away" message on, so don't let that fool you. Also, his e-mail address is at the top of the page.

Sorry, I have not time to stay and post, however:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ONE AND ALL!

and TGIF

to our delightful curmudgeon to the far south, Ozzie.

Have a good day.

Andrea, Emily, you must tell the Sultan he's behaving poorly and must return to the fold before evil befalls him on this Thanksgiving Day.

Are you all having a warm and toasty day, so far? I went to a local record store and found a used copy of Barbra's Movie Album about which more tomorrow.

I do hope we have some guest posts from Thanksgiving guests tonight - that would be uniquely unique.

If only I understood internet acronyms! Have a beautiul day TCB. See you back here soon - and SAFELY.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #96 on:** November 27, 2003, 03:18:34 PM »

It is always so confusing when an acronym starts with my own initials. Tom Guest's impoverished funds is so much more likely to be used (or in fact not used because they are not there) than Thank God It's Friday. I did think of a few other suggestions but remembered that it is a family friendly site.

Emily · « **Reply #97 on:** November 27, 2003, 03:19:02 PM »

BK - why don't you just phone Mark and find out what the situation is?

You both live in LA so it won't even be long distance!

bk · « **Reply #98 on:** November 27, 2003, 03:21:25 PM »

Because he won't pick up the phone, that's why. I'm sure he's off at some Thanksgiving function, so e-mail him and tell him to STOP and smell the roses and to come back where he belongs. I've already apologized for being mistaken (even though I WAS joking - snarky, snarky, snarky) so to stay away is malarky in my book (Chapter Three - Staying Away is Malarky).

Back from my Thanksgiving dinner where I ate and drank far too much but don't care. However, it am having to find some things to do around the house to keep my eyes open with all that grand food and drink, and topped off with luscious pecan pie. Makes my teeth hurt just thinking how sweet and good it was (with fresh whipped cream on top). Those guys know how to cook a marvelous Thanksgiving meal.

Danise · « **Reply #102 on:** November 27, 2003, 04:00:24 PM »

Hey all. I hope you had a WONDERFUL day! Mine was GREAT!

I watched some Babylon 5, played some vid games, played with my Photoshop program, took the dogs for a walk

, ate some turkey and relaxed! Whew, I'm tired from doing all of that!

I hope all of you have an equally nice day.

So the lovely wife Julieanne and I have finished decorating the wrought-iron Christmas tree to the traditional (to us) strains of the best of Gene Pitney (don't ask) and SHE LOVES ME. I also threw in some Jerry Butler because Only The Strong Survive the Holiday season. We also imbibed two bottles of champagne (yes, we nibbled and noshed in between so we're only slightly swozzled, not disgustingly blotto). Julieanne is now preparing (which was greatly prepared last night) the Thanksgiving feast. God bless her, she has made me deviled eggs. I love deviled eggs! We will also be sampling a Beaujolais Nouveau wine with the feast. Afterwards, if we are not too sleepy or too full or too drunk, we will hie ourselves to a major motion picture, probably at the Arclight.

The tree looks spectacular!

My smoked turkey tastes just wonderful!

I'm only picking...haven't put together a whole meal....sweet potatoes are cooked and will end up in a souffle when I get around to it.

I may open the cranberry sauce tonight...just for fun.

I'm so full from a couple of slices of turkey...and feeling quite naplike, too.

God bless tryptophan...

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #105 on:** November 27, 2003, 04:19:29 PM »

Called home...just as everyone had sat down for dinner. Made a few quick comments, passed along greetings that I'd see all in a few weeks, and that ended my "family" Thanksgiving.

And, yes, it was a sufficiency for now.

Oh! And a special thank you to ComCast Cable for their Thanksgiving suprise: When I turned on my TV today, I discovered severe ghosting and distortion on all the "local" channels, rendering parades and football unwatchable, which is a blessing of sorts...but one would rather have what one pays for -- clear pictures.

Jennifer: Did you notice that John "swore on his grandmother's" something or other at one point last night during their wheeling/dealing over who to vote out? Sandra gave him a VERY strange look....and it was that point that I thought everything was going to come out. After all, here's a guy who supposedly just lost his grandmother...and now he's swearing on her (?) life (?) that he's being sincere/truthful.

Believe me... you will like this (especially if you still have that gift certificate lying around )

Ah merci. I was just thinking of checking again. I wonder if we order now, if it will still take 3-5 weeks. I'm not too happy about those delay times.

I'm not sure if you pay for your amazon stuff with visa. But for amazon.ca (canada) if you use the code mapcanadadec you get $5 off if you use your visa card (they send these offers in the mail with your visa statement).

You can't combine this unfortunately with the other promo code they sent.

So did you order yours yet?

I have not used my other promo coupon. But I will now. Yeah!

Actually I believe that swearing on his granny's grave was the reason that Sandra agreed to trust him.

The lie didn't seem to have many benefits at the time. But I think it saved Burton's butt.

DR Emily did you also noticed that amazon.ca also finally added Avenue Q.

Jennifer · « **Reply #114 on:** November 27, 2003, 04:47:11 PM »

DR Emily: Okay this is bizarre. Did you check the waiting time for Boy from Oz. Last week it said like 4 to 6 weeks. Now today it says "24 hours". Why is amazon.ca so crazy?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #115 on:** November 27, 2003, 04:49:01 PM »

Can't you guys order from Amazon.com (U.S.?) I'm asking because the price is good, and they have 2-day shipping (although I don't know if UPS or FedEx works across the border). I know that "Wicked" is going to be available Dec. 16th, and I've pre-ordered it for delivery by Dec. 18. Time will, of course, tell whether that works out.

Do you know I misread this the first time. He swore on his granny's GRAVE. It was pretty funny too.

My sis called right after the vote and she was like, "why did sandra believe him?" and i said, "well he swore on granny's grave". He basically said that doing that was serious and he would never lie if he swore on granny.

Oy.

Ron - if we bought the cd from amazon.com it will cost us $25.50 CDN including shipping and handling (international rates apply)

If we buy it from amazon.ca it will cost $22 CDN including shipping and handling and with our handy dandy discount.

Without the discount it would be better for us to use amazon.com. It would mean being less patriotic though

Jennifer: I didn't know about that visa code. Thanks for the info

Yes we can order for amazon.com. But the shipping is VERY expensive (really ridiculous, probably like $6 US for one cd). Amazon.com has free shipping over $25, but only if you live in the US. Amazon canada has the same free shipping (if you buy $39). So the shipping really saves us a lot of money.

Also, DR Emily and I have found a way to work around this, but normally if you buy from the US, we get charged lovely taxes, which is incredibly annoying.

If amazon.com gave us free shipping, then I would definitely order from there. I'm not sure how much Wicked is at amazon.com. But it's 20.99Cdn.

Jennifer · « **Reply #119 on:** November 27, 2003, 05:16:15 PM »

Ha Emily we both responded at the same time. Are you sure about those prices? I always find shipping charges CRAZY when I order from amazon.com. And it drives me nuts. They should give us free shipping too. Just make the amount you need to purchase higher.
