Well that sounds like a neat set up you have there or that's really cool. I
wish we could have something like that that would be really cool. But yes it
was the main home care agency that did try to call me and I hope they call me
back on Monday. They didn't call me today. Why didn't go to the library but I
went to the bank. I want to go to the library maybe tomorrow and take the
cassette machine back. One of my friends just told me to send all the cassettes
back but I don't know if they have everything on digital. So that's the way
that goes. So maybe tomorrow. I'll go to the library. That'll be good too
because then I'll get this machine out of here and hopefully get a replacement.
But I'll call them first to see if they have one I think eventually the
cassette players will be going out. Then everything will be good to go. I still
have my old talking book machine I need to take back to. But that's OK I'll get
that done but I think my relocations going to be delayed because they haven't
even finished on the seventh and eighth floors so they're saying mid March or
early April. I hope they don't decide to do this today I have my surgery so the
movers are going to have to help with everything whether they want to or not
but that's OK. But hopefully this home care agency will call me that'll be a
good thing and then I can do the intake process and get that done but basically
I've just been listening to TV and listening to books Yep that's exactly what
I've been doing. But as far as my birthday on the 28th I don't know what I'm
going to do.

I know what you mean about Time-Werner not having accessible DVS. My friend
in Maine has the same system, and whenever something goes out, he has to call
them. Luckily, though, for him, he’s in a rural part of Maine and they have
people there who are very knowledgeable and very nice to work with in their
technical department. Wish the same were true everywhere and with all cable
service.
Direct TV is part of AT&T, so I pay my Direct TV bill through AT&T. The
remote looks pretty simple to work, and the only time I have to directly aim
it toward the TV is turning it on and off. I’ve located the DVS button,
right next to the volume up and down button, and I know how to press it to
get DVS. Channel 9, our local PBS channel, wasn’t running anything at the
time with audio description, but I was shown how to work the remote to turn
it on in case they have DVS shows running.

Well I can't get the describe things to work on my TV the reason being is
if I turn on that particular channel I need cited help to do it and not only
that if they turn it on and it goes into Spanish. So Time Warner won't even
let me do it because their menus are not accessible and this is not right but
that's just the way that goes. I was going to take my cassette player back to
the library but that didn't happen oh well maybe tomorrow I just didn't feel
like going and I had no energy I stayed in the hot shower tonight hoping to
get some relief. I got a little but I don't know how long it's gonna last.
But I really enjoyed the hot shower I really good and I also enjoyed my
shower gel it's kind a like a coconut smell and it's really good but anyway I
was talking to a friend of mine today and he so will be good when I have the
surgery. But I get a minor Oaks. And I hope I can fix it this home care
agency called me and I thought it was a company selling something and I told
him I wasn't interested and I think it was the home care agency go supposed
to help me after the surgery. Well I hope I can straighten it out. I told my
friend in Ohio what I did all well maybe they can fix it they told me they
would try to find out who called me and I have no idea. The agency is based
in Brooklyn it's called summit home care and I also lady if they were bonded
and they said yes so that's a good thing in their favor. They also are home
care they offer physical therapy and everything so that's the way that goes.
But I have to go back and do the blood work and I'll do that soon.

It’s out already, from what I understand. Tomorrow I’m getting Direct TV
installed as part ofmy AT&T U-Verse. They’ve been wanting me to get TV for
as long as I’ve had the account, and just as of today, I have inherited one
of my mom’s TV’s. Nothing is wrong with it. She’s giving it to me because
she bought a new TV that has more of a rectangular screen, and I gather she’s
a little disturbed because the faces sometimes have minor blemishes on them,
and she can see the lines people have in their faces. So much for high
definition TV, right? But, they’ve given me a $300 Visa rewards card that
I’ll be able to use like cash, and once I get it, I’ll pay U-Verse bills with
that, which will hold me over till I end my cell phone contract (it’ll be up
in August). So obviously tomorrow I can’t see if the movie is playing in
Alameda, but if it is, I’ll let you know so you can see if it’s playing at a
theater one of your sisters can take you to. I gather from my cousin Doug
that it’s a wonderful movie. I think he’s seen it, and I’m pretty sure he’s
read the book.

I haven’t seen a commercial for the movie yet either, but boy, when it comes
out, I’m going, even if I have to go by myself!! It’ll likely play at the
theater we have in Alameda.

Actually, Marcia wrote to the MSB list, saying she and Rob read the book from
Barred, two years ago. So, they must be resurfacing it since the movie is or
will be showing. I haven’t seen a commercial for it.

Here is a note from my friend Steve from Michigan.

From: Steve
As some of you know, I am a huge Wrecking Crew fan. I bought the movie and
contributed to the kickstarrter campaign to raise money to get the movie out.
They had a ton of royalties to pay which if you ever see the movie you'd
understand why.
The Wrecking Crew played on literally thousands of records from the 60s to
the mid-70s.
Anyway, NLS just got around to doing one of the definitive books on the
Wrecking Crew.
The Wrecking Crew: the inside story of rock and roll's best-kept secret
DB74698
Hartman, Kent. Reading time: 11 hours, 56 minutes.
Read by Bill Wallace.
Music Appreciation and History
Music-industry insider profiles the Los Angeles-area studio musicians known
as the Wrecking Crew, who in the 1960s and '70s secretly played instruments
on such hits as "California Dreamin'" and "Bridge over Troubled Water."
Discusses group members Glen Campbell, Leon Russell, and others who forged
their
own successful careers. 2012.
