DR George, does the cashout voucher come out of a slot machine?

Yes.  Whenever you're done, there's a "Cash out" button on every machine for you to print the voucher.  You can either actually get the cash (there are kiosks or you can go to the info desks), or you can put it in another machine and continue playing with that amount, or you can add cash at each machine, or you can actually take home the voucher and give it as a gift.  The voucher can only be used, of course, at that specific casino.

This morning, though, I became very congested. Ugh. Sambucol wasn’t acting fast enough (read: I was impatient), so I switched to my super-duper anti-viral. I was feeling better soon, but the congestion isn’t completely gone. I’ll switch back to the Sambucol soon— it’s great for congestion.

~~~Feel Better Vibes for Jeanne!!~~~

DR George, you might think about using earthquake hangers.  I'm sure they would be easy for you to do. 

It could be something to think about.  My two bathroom mirrors are pretty much the only heavy things that are hanging that aren't secured.  All my pictures are posters in light frames, or just canvases over stretchers, nothing else in a frame.

They would make a horrible mess if they fell off of the wall and shattered.

Uhhh...yup.

We used to hang something over our bed.  Now we leave that space empty ;D

I don't have anything behind my bed, just an opening to the floor below.  My "bedroom" is actually a loft above the bedroom proper.

Last night I called the little vegan Italian restaurant and asked if they ever make calzones, as it’s not on their menu. The answer was yes, for ourselves, but not for customers. She agreed to make me one. It was sooo good! I’ve never been a pizza lover, but I love calzones. Strange since it’s basically a pizza folded over.

That's great when a local place will accommodate special requests like that.  I wonder if they'd consider adding it to their menu if enough other people start asking for it.

I've been scanning in my old programs and it's been fun remembering those concerts. Today was the Boston Symphony Orchestra concerts from when we lived there.

bk, did you ever see Ormandy conduct live? I know how much you love his recordings. I remembered seeing him and now I found the program from back in 1980. The program was the Harris 3rd, Hindemith Mathis der Maler, and Pictures.
