I see DR RON, JED, and ANN, they could help us.

DR CP did your leading lady have a certain animal magnetism?

JRand54, what is the building?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #63 on:** February 19, 2005, 01:13:54 AM »

The Shillito's at Fountain Park in Cincy.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #64 on:** February 19, 2005, 01:14:23 AM »

Fountain Place that is.

Okay 45 minutes of work then I have to get to the Kroger store.

Breaking news. Time to go!

What do you need help with...an ersatz production of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" without music?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #68 on:** February 19, 2005, 01:18:30 AM »

I'm not really here...I'm in bed sleeping.

I'm just dreaming I'm here...and yet...and yet...

She was actually a girl I had a crush on...But, alas, it was not to be...

And speaking of Lorelei...one of my favourite lines comes from the play (and the movie...Charlie Ruggles delivers it beautifully) NO TIME FOR COMEDY..."She's a Lorelei with an intellectual patter..."

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #70 on:** February 19, 2005, 01:24:44 AM »

You mean Fountain Square? But Shillito's wasn't on Fountain Square. I think it was 7th and Race Streets. I thought it was Shillito's but I couldn't tell from the angle.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #71 on:** February 19, 2005, 01:26:22 AM »

Actually, Ron we need no help we made page three all by ourselves. Go back to sleep...unless, of course, you want to hang around till page four. Won't BK be surprised?

Sad to be all alone in the world. 7:10 am, and I'm the only one here.

DRPogue, 7th and Race is my memory of Shillito's as well; when I was in college, I used to park in their garage. Willis Music wasn't too far from there, and it was the best music store in my limited world at the time. I think the only two Cincinati stores I shopped in were Shillito's and Willis Music.

My first stereo was something blue and clunky around 1961, but I have next to no memory of it. My first tv purchase was from Macy's in 1980, around $90.00. Because I couldn't afford cable then, the reception was pathetic. In 1989 or so, I did STRIKE UP THE BAND in Los Angeles, and I used part of the money to buy a new tv, VCR and cable. The tv died last year after 15 years of great service, and the vcr has been replaced several times.

Since today's food is Chinese. I do have a question.

Has anyone ever had "Chinese Food In Bed"?

Michael · « **Reply #74 on:** February 19, 2005, 05:00:13 AM »

All my tvs were second hand until last year when I bought my HD Panasonic. As for my record player. I believe the first one I ever bought was one that could have played the short lived sound gimmic Quadafonic sound. I don't think I ever had a LP that actually was recorded that way. It also had 8-Track player that I hated. I think I bought two of them: The Broadway cast of On a Clear Day... and Rick Wakeman's The Six Wives of Henry VIII. Both of them had songs that were interupted while it switch tracks. Ugh!

Good morning! My, I only slept moderately late and found 3 pages of posts.

"Our First TV" is one of my family's favorite stories. Must have been around 1955, by which time lots of households had them, but my father said we'd never have one of "those things" in our home. After several weeks of his coming home from work and finding my sister (10 years older than I) at one neighbor's watching "American Bandstand" and me at another neighbor's watching "The Mickey Mouse Club," he finally gave in and bought one of those consoles to "keep the girls at home." Guess who became the biggest TV-watcher of all?

Last night, DR Ann wrote:

"I plan to watch Numbers tonight, but I agree that the concept is wearing thin. I doubt it'll last more than a few more episodes. "

Uh, it's CBS' biggest hit in that time slot since NASH BRIDGES and will undoubtedly be renewed for next season unless the ratings completely collapse once NBC moves LAW & ORDER: TRIAL BY JURY into the slot in late March. (NBC is going to run TRIAL BY JURY for two weeks in ER's Thursday spot before moving it to Friday).

NBC's MEDICAL INVESTIGATION, which is the show I've been watching in that slot all season, has been hit hard by NUMBERS' ratings and now will probably not be renewed for next season.

My folks bought me a black and white portable TV to have in my college dorm room, but I don't consider it my first set because it wasn't bought with my own money.

The first TV I ever bought with my own money was in 1972, an RCA 19" color TV. I was a BIG believer in RCA TV equipment back then. They always seemed to have the best color. The color TV my family had, a 25" Admiral, couldn't compare with the depth of color on my RCA.

Funny, I haven't had an RCA TV in many, many years.

Matt H. · « **Reply #78 on:** February 19, 2005, 07:06:21 AM »

As for my first stereo, it was a Columbia, and my father gave it to me in payment for accompanying my mother (and saving him from doing it) on a weeklong trip to visit her relatives he couldn't stand. I didn't even know anything about it; I went with my mom because she asked me to, and I noticed there was a big box in the back of the station wagon, but didn't poke around to see what it was. When we got there, my mom told me about the gift, and I spent that LONG week desperately wanting to open the box and set it up to play my Broadway recordings. Guess what I did the second we got back home?

Matt H. · « **Reply #79 on:** February 19, 2005, 07:08:11 AM »

Great that the food of the day is Chinese since that's where my friends and I are headed for lunch! I'm really hoping this place is good since I'd like to have a Chinese place to replace my beloved Chinese buffet near my house which closed. This isn't that close, but if I sarted going there, I'd be close enough to Best Buy to browse around there every Saturday after stuffing my face.

Matt H. · « **Reply #80 on:** February 19, 2005, 07:12:11 AM »

Well, congrats on the new TV, bk. Yes, I got my friend a DLP model in setting up his home theater last month.

I've been looking at a 52" JVC ILA-HD (which is liquid crystal on silicon) which I plan to get for myself after I have taxes done if the news isn't too bad.

Like bk, the only objection I have with my set as it now stands is the convergance inconvenience. It only takes a couple of minutes (I do manual convergence which is more accurate that the auto convergence), but I find I must do it at least once a week, or the guns drift out of alignment just enough to irritate the heck out of me.

Matt H. · « **Reply #81 on:** February 19, 2005, 07:15:07 AM »

I have to say that the DLP and LCD TVs that are popular HDTVs now really show up the drawbacks of standard TV transmission. High definition broadcasts and DVDs look wonderful on these sets, but standard analog broadcasts look SO MUCH worse than their digital counterparts on these sets. They really accentuate the artifacts present in standard definition TV transmission.

Matt H. · « **Reply #82 on:** February 19, 2005, 07:16:51 AM »

Hmmmm. I've been alone here since I first started posting. I DID put on deodorant this morning!

Hisaka · « **Reply #83 on:** February 19, 2005, 07:51:15 AM »

Thanks a lot to Dear Readers for paying a compliment on my dolls.

bk · « **Reply #84 on:** February 19, 2005, 07:53:01 AM »

I'm up, I'm up. I only went away last night because AOL went blooey and I got impatient and went to bed.

MattH: When I was checking it out at the store, they only had HiDef broadcasts on the TV, which looked pretty great. Since I rarely, and I mean RARELY watch broadcast TV, this is not a problem for me.

Why am I up so early? Because the fershluganah rain, which has been coming down non-stop for over nine hours, is quite heavy and making way too much noise for a person to sleep. I'm sure there is some fancy flooding going on around our fair city. Can we say ENOUGH?

One thing we know - the rain is most certainly not ERSATZ!

bk · « **Reply #85 on:** February 19, 2005, 07:53:39 AM »

If this rain doesn't stop, I may MOVE to Japan and see those dolls in person.

Hisaka · « **Reply #86 on:** February 19, 2005, 07:54:37 AM »

DR JOSE: Thank you for the compliments on my dolls and am very surprised that you know as far as about The Boy’s Day and the food for it.
On The Girl’s Day, we have a special SUSHI which many kind of vegetables seasoned with soy sauce and some ingredients. (this sushi is with NO raw fish, so don’t warry, dear BK, it doesn’t make you vomit on the ground). And also we have special sweets.
As to Origami; I can send you origami stuffs, papers, sets, books and/or any other stuff, if you like. Tell me what you’d like.

Hisaka · « **Reply #87 on:** February 19, 2005, 07:55:56 AM »

Good morning, dear BK!

George · « **Reply #88 on:** February 19, 2005, 07:59:07 AM »

My first TV was a small black and white TV that I had in my bedroom when I was in high school. When I moved away for college, my parents gave me a small color TV. I had that for quite a few years until my sister gave me a 19 inch TV that she got from her (then) sister-in-law. I still have that TV (it's in my bedroom right now). It's a JCPenny brand. It only goes up to channel 46, so I have to watch it through the VCR.

Hisaka · « **Reply #89 on:** February 19, 2005, 08:00:39 AM »

Sorry, it's rain in Tokyo, too, dear BK.
