Right now, I'm watch TCM's SILENT SUNDAY selection, The Extra Girl, with Mabel Normand, from 1923.

I have a load of laundry in the dryer, and another load in the washer.

One dryer load done.

George · « **Reply #124 on:** January 13, 2019, 10:33:25 PM »

Now, the load in the washer gets to get dried.

Back from a great Kritzerland show, about which more in the notes - and then a little food after. I am really far behind in today's writing so I'm gonna do the notes and then spend two hours during which I hope to do at least eight pages so that I can catch up tomorrow.

Good evening, children!

Did I miss a report from Kevin on the production of MISS SAIGON that he saw yesterday? Or did the snow keep him from attending?

George, when you found the cheaper price at Office Depot, why didn’t you just take a photo showing the lower price and take it back to Best Buy and ask for the difference back plus 10%?

Is that a Best Buy policy? I didn't know that, or think of that. $:-\$

I bought a rather expensive watch from JC Penney, but when it arrived yesterday, it didn’t have a battery. I assume that is the only problem, since it isn’t running. I thought that was kind of cheap.

George · « **Reply #131 on:** January 13, 2019, 11:19:41 PM »

I guess it is Best Buy's policy. Live & learn.

TCB · « **Reply #132 on:** January 13, 2019, 11:20:00 PM »

Maybe I shouldn’t expect a battery, since I got the watch for $900.00 off the retail price.

Well, you know they are trying to keep from going out of business. This was one of their crazy sales that was 50% off of their previous 80% off price, or something like that. I just bought it because I loved the look of it. I am a watch-freak.

TCB · « **Reply #135 on:** January 13, 2019, 11:35:00 PM »

Actually, I had never herd of the brand of watches. JBW? What do I know? I still want a Rollex spelled with two “L’s”

TCB · « **Reply #136 on:** January 13, 2019, 11:39:40 PM »

I see that Groupon is, also, selling the watch for $900.00 off, so I guess I didn’t get that good of a price.

TCB · « **Reply #137 on:** January 13, 2019, 11:41:29 PM »

Which reminds me, I need to take the receipt with me on the cruise, so they don’t try to nail me at Customs.

About five years ago, I got a pocket watch that was normally $300, then it was on sale for $180, then there was a Lightning Deal for another $80 off, so with tax ut was only $108.69.

THIS is what I got, but it's no longer available, at least from Amazon. This picture is from Walmart's website:

I like it. I have several other pocket watches. None are vintage or antiques, though.

I have two gold pocket watches that belonged to my grandfather. Unfortunately, my mother kept it in one of those hanging glass displays, but she didn’t know that you had to keep the watch wound.

TCB · « **Reply #147 on:** January 14, 2019, 12:08:24 AM »

My aunt had the second pocket watch, but that was never kept wound, either.
