From DR Cilla:

I got the Denny because it was mostly complaints about the table of contents not working or something like that.  Anyway, it was something that didn't concern me and it was what Elmore recommended

I was thinking you were my Nook friend with Les Miserable to lend.  A search shows me it is DR TD not you who has a copy.  I wish I had noticed that before I purchased mine.

A few years ago I re-read our copy of the Count from The Spencer Press.  An online search shows this is an unabridged edition.

I was really good foodwise over Christmas and thought I should splurge a bit for New Year's. Trader Joe's, of course, is a great place to do that.

[Jeanne]

TTFN.

[Jane]

From DR Cilla:

Yes they are.  She still hasn't looked at her missing arm...not sure how she's managed to do that.  She said she isn't ready yet

By not looking may be how she has kept her spirits up. 

[Jane]

From DR elmore:

Of course B&N is pushing their editions which are 19th century public domain ones.

But especially formatted for the Nook

95 1/2!!!  I expect Paul also knows how very lucky he was/is.  Once he get through this difficult time I send vibes this will be a comfort to him.

THE COUNT FROM THE SPENCER PRESS doesn't sound like a very exciting book.  I hope you enjoyed it.

From DR MBarnum:

I see that singer Fontella Bass has passed away at age 72. Loved her song RESCUE ME!

She was very pretty.

Yes she was.  Thank you for the clip.

DR FJL I didn't change anything....YOU TUBE did.....but it doesn't bother me....

I don't understand how YouTube refers to oneself when commenting, etc..  It seems that the rules change from time to time.

We had a 1978 Hallus Valgus, but it was always overheating, so we traded it in.

We had a 1978 Hallus Valgus, which, as you might imagine, had a fair amount of sediment, but it was still quite drinkable, definitely a light but amusing vintage.

I saw Hallus Valgus as ZORBA after Tony Quinn left.

Oh dear.....a acquaintance of mine was shoveling snow Tuesday and passed out.....they got him to the hospital, but there was NO brain activity.....he was removed from the machine this morning....gone.....

And a classmate who graduated with my brother and me in the high school class of 1968 died on Wednesday, but no cause was given in the paper......

My sympatheis, Jack.

From DR George:

I'm seriously thinking about dropping Netflix.  I just don't watch enough to justify the monthly price.  They're definitely making money off of me.

We couldn't get the DVD's we wanted making it was a waste of money.

I can understand that, but I have over 250 titles in my DVD queue and about 130 in my streaming list.

It's time for the big push to win the Broadway World Best Special Theatre Event Award - only three days of voting left - please tell all your friends to vote asap - and if you haven't, really, don't make me bitch-slap you from here to eternity and hell and back, just do it.  It only takes a moment, as Jerry Herman said.  You just register your e-mail address and then you only have to vote in our category.  We're currently being trounced by a show that had a cast of thirty, and a group that has membership in the hundreds - hard to fight that, but we must fight the good fight and get the little guy to win.  We can do it if we all pull together and vote, vote, vote (that is three votes, although we'll need a lot more than that).  Spread the word, word the spread, won't you?

http://losangeles.broadwayworld.com/vote2012region.cfm#sthash.OWVkmOG4.ao3QZjMY.dpbs

I have been informed that I have already voted.

I have more than one e-mail address.

I was listening to Broadway on XM this morning and they were doing a whole show on the movie Les Miz.  I decided that today is the day.  I'm going to the 1:15 showing.  I can't wait to see it. 

Wait -- You mean it's playing now?

Why doesn't someone tell me these things!?

[Jane]

I'm going to see Sharon tomorrow.  I realize I could go today, but I really would rather not watch her do PT.  I know she said I could but....well  I'll just visit tomorrow when I know she's free

I agree you made the right decision.  To me it would be distracting.  On the upside if she said you could go during her PT it probably isn't too painful for her.

My nephew, Herman, is headed off to California to play in the Rose Bowl parade. His high school is the first from Lexington, Ky., ever to be chosen to play in the parade. As you can imagine, he's terribly excited. They have to take a long bus ride to Atlanta before flying out. (I pity both the bus driver and the airline.  )

They are last in the parade. I don't know if that means they get cut if the parade runs over time or what. But he has to haul his French horn around for 3 1/2 miles of parade ground.

Congratulations to your nephew and his school.  I would record every station airing the parade, at least near the end of the parade.

I am trying to decide how high to set my goodreads goal for next year (how many books I think i will read). I include e-novellas and children's books that are over 70 pages. But I don't include other kids books (otherwise that would really increase my total).

Not sure whether to do 100 books again this year. Or to aim for higher. If I do 150 I don't think I would get there.  I could always do 100 and then add more if I think I can do it (you can adjust your goal).

I also don't include free ebooks that i get on my kindle unless they are novels. I have lots of cookbooks and stuff like that.

I still can't tell you how many books I have read this year.  I'm dating them on Goodreads so maybe next year I can count them.

[Jane]

DR Matthew it is nice to see you, and all of our DR's who only stop in for a quick hello.

I used to read that much. Then grad school changed my reading habits for the worse.

Grad school can do that to you.

How very shocking and sad.  My condolences is to you on the passing of both of these people.

[Dan (the Man)]

Sorry about your double dose of sad news, DR JRand.

Starting on January 1st just make you sure you mark them as you read them. Then it will keep track for you.

[Dan (the Man)]

No plans for today.  It's bright and sunny out but also very cold and windy.  I think I'll venture out and just go wherever my fancy takes me. 

How long have you and your fancy been dating?

It's been on and off for years.  But my fancy was in a generous mood today--he took me to Best Buy and bought me a new Blu Ray player.

I had a loverly time with Charlotte, and we both loved GUILT TRIP; I laughed, I cried. It's a delightful movie and Streisand and Rogan work quite well together. She's ideal casting, and I'm not a big fan. She's quite wonderful here.

DR JRand, I'm so sorry to hear about your friends.

I have been nagging Richard for a couple of years to stop shoveling snow and, finally, he's waiting for a call back from a guy who was recommended by the company that mows our grass.  They don't do residential snow removal because they have so much commercial business.

When Keith recently did his hours of shoveling he said I should stay out there with him in case he needed me.  I told him I wasn't concerned he would have a heart attack from shoveling.  It is the men who aren't in good shape & don't do the physical work he does that have heart attacks while shoveling. 

I did stay with him and I do like to check up on him when he is working outside.  I worry more about him when he is on the riding mower than when he is shoveling, unless it is icy.  Falls are scary.

[Jane]

Thank you to everybody for your thoughts.....it does give one pause.....

Yes, events like these do.

We can't stream here.  When we kept a long DVD list we only received the ones we weren't really interested in and not the ones at the top of the list.  When I did the monthly free trial I only put up a few DVD's we really wanted.  The result was that we received only a couple of DVD's in the entire month.

I stupidly didn't click on save when I dated them.  Now I have the hang of it and am marking them correctly, at least I hope I am.

Your fancy treated you well today.  Enjoy your new player.
