TOD:

Back in the mid-1990's I was at the Half Price Book & Record Store and found a first edition first printing former library copy lf Ayn Rand's ATLAS SHRUGGED.....it was $50.

I bought it - and I had a 15% off coupon so I got it for $35. [It is price clipped].

Of course I have paid more for a few recent books - particularly Broadway or Theeder or musical related items....

Good morning, all.

Well, we are - supposedly - back at the show tonight, and through Sunday night.

It's raining now, and could be thunderstorm-y this afternoon. Supposedly the night will be clear, but who knows. I peeked ahead at the forecast for the following days, and every freakin' day reads just about the same as that.

I would like to purchase the full score of Follies, but at $800 for the two volumes, it's not in the cards at the moment.

Et moi aussi!

DR John G, your package arrived yesterday. Thank you!

Goddamned Amazon! When I put together my Amazon Fresh order, Amazon posted a charge of $87.47 to my credit card, stating the fee included possible additional item. After the order was delivered, Amazon posted an actual charge of $76.06, but the $87 charge is still there and I am now over my credit limit.

I called the card customer service to get the charge removed; they tell me I need t seal to Amazon cistomer service. So I did, and they tell me I need to speak to the credit card people. WTF?

Good. I never trust the US postal service to be accurate.

My new insurance has me frustrated.

Good morning. Again.

They might take some cookies out of the freezer to bake today. I'm not going to be there.

Laura · « **Reply #42 on:** July 10, 2025, 08:13:01 AM »

I came home yesterday and sat with the heating pad on my back. I can walk for miles, but standing several hours seems to be harder.

Feel better, JRand.

Thank you dear folks. Mrs R had a much better day yesterday. All seems good. Just some jaw pain remains.

Good to hear Mrs R is getting better.

Not like I don't have a thousand other things that need doing, but I'm sitting here cleaning up my computer desktop and organizing some files and folders, and it feels good. It was sorely needed.

My son and his classmates had such a love for their teacher last year, she agreed to meet up with some of them for ice cream yesterday because she misses them too. I think teacher and kids both know odds are next year can’t be as good as what they had.

Freddie · « **Reply #50 on:** July 10, 2025, 08:30:39 AM »

TOD: Probably the most expensive were law school textbooks. Way back in the 1980s, there were some that were extremely costly, especially two-volume sets. The bookstores could charge very high prices because students had no choice but to buy them. (Finding used textbooks was often an option, but not always.)

That's pretty wonderful!

Good morning! Last night I finally got to see I Confess on the big screen as part of the Stanford Theatre's Hitchcock festival. That was way better than watching it on my iPad.

MichaelG · « **Reply #53 on:** July 10, 2025, 08:46:03 AM »

This was the last of the 3 Hitchcock movies that my 2nd cousin once removed was involved with. He started out as co-producer, as with Rope and Under Capricorn but left midway through and took his name off the credits.

MichaelG · « **Reply #54 on:** July 10, 2025, 08:47:01 AM »

But he didn't leave before he met the Canadian woman who would become his second wife, and my third cousins' mother.

MichaelG · « **Reply #55 on:** July 10, 2025, 08:48:54 AM »

Anita Björk was originally signed to play the Anne Baxter role. But she was involved in extramarital issues similar to Bergman's in Under Capricorn and Warner wasn't going to deal with it this time around. I think Baxter is lovely in the role so all ended well.

Tonight we are scheduled to watch Le Monte-Charge from 1962 in our French film class.
