Ayn would not approve of your quoting some third-world selfless person like the Dalai Lama. Have you heard about the idiot entertainment reporter who was doing an IV with him and kept calling him Mr. Lama?

People do IV's together?

Is that what's meant by sharing needles?

Where is Mr. Pulliam today? I hope he hasn't been overcome by anymore of those severe asthma/allergy attacks....

Has anybody heard from him?

Don't put your feet on Deceit.

Speaking of Deceit I am afraid it is not within my ability or pocketbook to make it to the other coast for a viewing... however when it makes its New York debut......

Oh! I bought a Pro Form Air Walker - for a no impact full body workout! This will replace my broken Kathy Smith Air Walker!

Whew!! I could only do about ten minutes on the Pro Form which works the upper body and the legs - Kathy didn't do anything for the upper body!

Whew. Eleven dollars at the Goodwill store!

47 more posts to our new plateau.....can we get there before bk gets back?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #127 on:** January 05, 2006, 12:30:46 PM »

Looks like this....only for some reason the guy selling this one has his white exercise bike setting on top of the Air Walker. Mine is the gray Z shaped thing.

I wonder how many calories one burns whilst posting?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #129 on:** January 05, 2006, 12:31:36 PM »

My guess would be NONE, drVixmom....or some of us would REALLY be skinni-fied!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #130 on:** January 05, 2006, 12:31:55 PM »

yes, we can do it before Mr BK gets back.

You got that huge machine for eleven dollars?!

Next time I go to the Goodwill to drop off I'm going in for some SHOPPING!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #133 on:** January 05, 2006, 12:36:27 PM »

LOL....well that included my Wednesday 30% Senior Discount. I got the Kathy Smith for about $15 almost 8 years ago - so I kept looking for something to replace it.

Best thing about it almost - it fit into the back of the PT!!

It's getting colder here, but nothing like a real January!

vixmom · « **Reply #135 on:** January 05, 2006, 12:42:40 PM »

The sun just came out here, finally! We've had rain grey skies and drizzle since Saturday!!

vixmom · « **Reply #136 on:** January 05, 2006, 12:43:08 PM »

Of course it came out just in time to set again......

Vixmom - All that's happened on the high school and college front is that a few schools have asked for a copy of the script, since they heard the CD already. We gave an email address for our agent in the CD booklet, so it's gotten some response directly from the CD or the CD publicity, since that email address was only referred to in CD-related materials. I'd guess that since more than half the cast is made up of teenagers, it might have some appeal in that market. But I guess we have to be careful how we word anything we write back to them, so we're not committing to anything we could be sorry for later on. (Short question, long answer!)

I've been catching up and came across a reference to this show now playing on American TV

"the new show with Howie Mandel, To Deal Or Not To Deal?"

We ran across it on BBC also (Irish television has RTE 1 and RTE 2 but they also get BBC transmissions). In England it's called "Deal or No Deal"

I must say I found it somewhat confusing at first but after watching for a while I began to understand. That's not to say I thought it was a particularly good game show. And knowing that Mr. Mandel is the host of the American version ensures that I would never watch it over here. I don't "get" Mr. Mandel. I find him tasteless, crude, mean, rude and most of all, unfunny.

The show was on here while you were gone. I believe it will be on again in March. Mr. Mandel was not really allowed to do much comedy. So even if you don't love him, I don't think you would find him to be crude or mean or rude here.

I thought it was an interesting concept. Particularly near the end of the game.

Basically there are 26 cases of money (from 1 cent to 1 million (and the contestant picks one case at the beginning that is theirs, and then eliminates amounts from the list). After every so many cases, a banker offers them money for "their" case.

It can become quite interesting at the end. Say you have 100K, 500K and then 100$, $300, $500. The person ends up having to play the odds to decide whether to quit.

Speaking of tv, tonight is all new shows.

Is anybody else going to watch the premiere of Dancing With The Stars? They replaced the female host (it will now be Samantha Harris from Joe Millionaire). I think it's on from 8-10pm.

I didn't enjoy this show when it first started. But it grew on me. I will definitely try it tonight since none of the other shows I watch are back.

Good afternoon!

It's starting to cloud up here now, but we had a brilliant early afternoon. I had on just a sweater and jeans, and I had to roll the slvves of the sweater up. But I can feel a chill coming into the air. This will more than likely be our last "spring" days for awhile.

When I got in, I started the afternoon with an episode of DRAGNET 1967 which I reocrded last night off the new Sleuth cable channel. This episode involved the "new" drug of LSD that was sweeping the country. Hadn't seen one of these DRAGNETs in a long time, and it was enjoyable. Quick, too, since they were only 30 minute shows (less when you zip past commercials).

Jrand73 · « **Reply #142 on:** January 05, 2006, 01:22:42 PM »

I keep seeing the promos for DANCING WITH THE STARS, DRJENNIFER. But this is also the first night for NBC's NEW Must See comedy block.

WILL & GRACE (not so MUST), FOUR KINGS (new, maybe....), MY NAME IS EARL & THE OFFICE (two very funny and clever comedies).....so I will probably be on NBC tonight, since TCM is Anime Thursday!!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #143 on:** January 05, 2006, 01:23:20 PM »

Was that the episode with Michael Burns, DR MATTH?

MBarnum · « **Reply #144 on:** January 05, 2006, 01:24:33 PM »

JRand55...John Bromfield and Mickey Spillane are on in a few!

Of course now that I think about it, I forgot to set my VCR.

Matt H. · « **Reply #145 on:** January 05, 2006, 01:25:06 PM »

Then I watched and burned a DVD of MURDER IN THREE ACTS, another of those CBS-produced Agatha Christie adaptations starring Peter Ustinov with Tony Curtis as the top billed actor besides Ustinov.

Picture was very sharp but just a trifle dark. The sound had some audio problems, too, but it's better than the taped-off-TV copy I previously had.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #146 on:** January 05, 2006, 01:28:55 PM »

I am watching TCM now....is that the movie you're talking about?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #147 on:** January 05, 2006, 01:30:55 PM »

Some Pat O'Brien - George Murphy movie is on.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #148 on:** January 05, 2006, 01:37:58 PM »

Check your schedule MBARNUM....something isn't right.

Back from errands. Was craving pizza for lunch, so I had some. Yummilicious.

I didn't remember that Scandal came out - I have to pick it and the other early Kurosawa that just came out from the same company.
