Hello. My husband and I go to Las Vegas 1 or 2 times a year. We will be going soon and we haven't decided which show to see yet. We've seen the more popular ones: Beatles' Love, Elton John, Celine (no longer there), Folies...

PearlGrace Thanks for your suggestions. My question was meant for our trip last year. However, we plan to go within the next 4 months or so, so I will keep your suggestions in mind. I think I'd like to see "O" next. Le Reve has not gotten great reviews so I am interested...

Two days ago, I noticed an increased number of floaters in my right eye. Also, I felt like I was looking through a thin veil with that eye or that my glasses were smudged and wouldn't come clean. Anyway, the next morning, my...

PearlGrace I understand your job is important, but please don't forget that, in order to do your job you have to have your eyes. Hope you go to the doctor first thing tomorrow and get your retinal tear taken care of. The good news is that it can be fixed. Good luck.

PearlGrace Hello. That actually happened several months ago, also due to my high myopia. I went to the eye doctor the very next day, who sent me to a retinal specialist who did the laser on the hole to close it. It was uncomfortable to sit that still but it didn't last...

New cameras seem to be coming out every week! Higher pixels, image stabilization technology, advanced face detection. I've had my digital camera for 5 years, and it seems like a dinosaur compared to everything they've got on the...

PearlGrace Boy, it sounds like you are quite the camera shopper! I finally did replace my camera of 5 years with a Casio Z9 (I think that's what it's called). I really like it, it's much easier to use and takes very good pictures. It cost about 1/5th the cost of my...

For all you James Patterson fans, have you read this book? It's great. But then, all his books are. For those of you who haven't tried James Patterson, he can sure weave a suspenseful tale. Let me know if you've read this book and...

PearlGrace I agree with you, James Patterson is awesome! Once I start reading one of his books, I just can't quit. I try not to start them in the evening, as I want to stay up all night! Talk about page-turners!

PearlGrace We went to the National Gallery and the Portrait Gallery and shopped at Covent Gardens while in London. Also, we paid a visit to Madama Toussaud's. I don't think we visited the Tate or the V & A. Maybe next time. We saw Mamma Mia at the Prince of Wales Theatre...

PearlGrace It's my understanding that some places in the US have actually banned the use of carp in beauty shops. I forget why. I think I would have tried it once just for fun, but now, I don't think I'll have that opportunity. Take care.

PearlGrace The story about your friend's failing health is very sad. I am trying to think if I've ever experienced anything similar, and I don't think I have. I have had many friends over the years that I've lost touch with, due to moving from town to town, or from 1...

PearlGrace I love corned beef and cabbage but haven't made it for years. I try to wear green that day, but don't really do anything else of note on that date. This year, we'll be in London so I'm anxious to see how they celebrate it there.

PearlGrace I must say I've never had a surprise supper. I've not heard of that. I don't really freeze stuff too often, I just never seem to have the right kind of container for that. That is too funny, I guess I could rip all the labels off the cans in the cupboard and...
