You're in LUCK! <Well.. lemme amend that... unless ya consider a sinus infection to BE lucky!> (grin). The PD segment of Leeza is going to air anytime from today thru the next three weeks, or so we were told. I have no idea if it DID air today, 'cause dammit, I forgot to stop at the market on my way home from Paramount Studios yesterday and to pick up some cat food. When I woke up today, I rushed downstairs and flipped on the TV, to check out Leeza, and both Scooter and Buzzy none-too-subtly reminded me that they were awaiting their breakfast! Without even stopping to take my meds, I rushed out to the market intending to just get some cat food, and here I am, $52 poorer! Needless to say, m'dear, as long as I was already IN the market, I did some marketing! Hope you're feeling better!
