RIP DIXIE CARTER
The Designing Women star passes at the age of 70.
It is a shame she was never nominated for an Emmy award for her role of Julia Sugarbaker. She was brilliant in deliver the dialogue that was written for her mainly by Linda Bloodworth-Thomason
-
you mean the left-wing political rants disguised as comedy that were written for her by Linda Bloodworth-Thomason?
-
I am very pleased and excited that MR BK and DR CP will be traveling to Indiana to see BRAINEX this coming Friday.
I am so also glad that MR BK switched his hotel to the More Convenient One! He will be on the west side of Indianapolis, and so he will have to tell a West Side Story when he is in town.
My friends former DR Evil Kurt and our friend Adrienne R. will be joining me when we dine with BK & CP and then see the show at the Buck Creek Players.
There will be photos.
-
And today....yes today.....I will be seeing the BRAINEX matinee with my friend Bryan - who is artistic director of the Phoenix Theatre in Indy....he says they are showing SCI FI movie previews beginning at 2 o'clock, so we will certainly be in attendance for that....so my guess is that they will be showing them on Friday beginning at 7:30.
This is the week.....yes, Messala, this is the week.

Good morning, all! I slept later than I intended, first awakened by the ass above me around 5:40 am (I checked the clock) and after that, having a dream about visiting the neighbors who lived next to us at 3005 Goldman. We lived at 3003; my dad built the house between 1947 and 1950, when we moved into it. In 1980, he sold the house to my brother Randy, who lived there until he moved around 1997. In my dream, I visited Jack Tilton, whose wife died shortly after my mother, and saw his two children Susan and Mark. Part of the dream involved my looking for food and talking about my late father. The Tiltons were a nice family, and I have no idea what dredged up those memories.
Dixie Carter was a lady I had always wanted to meet when I was working at the Drama Book Shop. She and her husband were friendly with the owners, but our paths never crossed. I think the first thing I ever saw her do was the 1976(?) revival of PAL JOEY at Circle In The Square; she played the caustic reporter Melba who sings "Zip." She was wonderful.
Today, I have to finish the Montgomery & Stone work for the copyists and write a new drum part and vocal part for the piece. I may do laundry, although I am tempted to let it go until tomorrow, and I'll watch more of Season Two of BONES.
My allergies are still in an uproar. That is all.

That's one person's opinion, DR JRand59!

Happy Birthday to the mother of DR CILLA LIZ!

I loved "Designing Women" until Delta Burke left the cast.

My introduction to Dixie Carter was a CLO production of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC in which she played Desiree. She was divine. The production around her was not. . .(the entire chorus and corps de ballet was used as the quintet of singers).
-
Happy Birthday to DR Cillaliz's mom!
-
BK that is too bad about all the spelling errors/typos ...
I'm sure they had a few people look at it. Although obviously the wrong people (since some people spot things easily and others obviously don't).
Will you tell him about all the errors if asked?
-
A waterbed is definitely not good if you have sore body parts!
-
I am baking some banana breads. Although i'll have to make the second batch when i get back from the mall. I"m meeting my sister and my nieces. So i need to get out of my baking clothes and into something more presentable.
-
Btw, when BK says Mr. Big does anyone else think Sex & The City?
-
Happy Birthday to Cillaliz's mom!

Tonight is a new episode of TAR. And i have a bunch of things on my PVR.
Last night I watched tonight's BROTHERS & SISTERS, which was shocking to me but maybe won't be to others.
-
Good morning!
Still very chilly here in the mornings making for a very cool (almost cold) walk. I did wear a thin sweatshirt, so that helped a little. TOmorrow promises to be a bit warmer in the mornings which will be nice if I'm going to wear shorts for the walk.
-
Yes, the two hour BROTHERS & SISTERS will be recorded, but since I don't want to watch merely an hour of it, I guess I'll have to wait to watch it tomorrow.
-
I'll be working on RIDE WITH THE DEVIL today for my work project. Tomorrow looks like I'll get to the Blu-ray of SUMMER HOURS (did the DVD a couple of weeks ago).
-
I still have the SPARTACUS episode from Friday night on the DVR and now two movies: I LOVE YOU, MAN and GRAN TORINO.
I'll probably go to HD Showcase on Demand and watch last week's NCIS: LA episode while I eat lunch. SPARTACUS is just so violent that it doesn't do much for the appetite to watch it.
-
I've only seen a few DESIGNING WOMEN episodes, but I always enjoyed them. Excellent ensemble cast and good writing. I never thought it was quite as good as MURPHY BROWN (on during mainly the same years and on the same network), but I did find it funny.
Those were the years when I was balancing teaching, writing reviews, and doing theater, so I watched very little TV back then (if you can believe that)!

Going to be a beautiful day here weather wise.
-
After she became known for "Designing Women," Dixie Carter did another revival of "Pal Joey" -- this time playing Vera and Elaine Stritch playing Melba.
-
DR Elmore,
I also adored the BONES episode where Brennen and Hodgins are trapped in the car. It's tremendously suspenseful and very emotionally involving.
-
Does this take us to page two?
-
It does!
Page Two Dance!!!
-
And the word of the day is: CHICANERY!
And The Song Of The Day Is: MAGIC TO DO !
-
Thank you for Page 2, DR Matt H! BONES has become my new obsession, and I think the Gravedigger episode is so wonderful, like the Christmas one in Season One, becauses it showcases the good performances of the rest of the cast. By the time Bones and Hodgins are buried alive, you're really rooting for him and Angela.
A wonderful librettist I know in town, with several prestigious credits, has been with his partner for the past 30 years. I knew the partner through The Drama Book Shop and we finally decided the three o us should go out so I could meet his partner. One December night around 1982, as we were waiting for a 79th Street crosstown bus at Lexington Avenue, I said to the librettist, "wrap up your neck with that scarf, it's freezing." The next day his partner called me and asked if the scars had embarrassed me and I said, what scars? And so I got the story from the partner:
The librettist had been pursuing my friend, who wanted to remain only friends with the librettist. One night, the librettist brought home a stranger who, early in the morning, took a kitchen knife and viciously attacked the sleeping man, stabbing him all over the chest and neck. If the door to the apartment had been locked, the emergency crew could not have saved him. My friend shortly afterward went to the librettist's apartment to get things for the librettist's hospital stay, found the place covered in dried blood, and told the librettist he would never enter the apartment again but move in with him. They're still together.
I've simplified the tale here and i'm not mentioning names, but it's very similar to the story on BONES of Angela and Hodgins and I suspect it's the prome reason the episode has such resonance for me.
The laundry is in the dryers and I am very happy about my sudden burst of energy. I think I will go to market now.
-
Time to close up shop for now and head downstairs.
WBBL.

Okay....I am off the San Fernando Valley - they say there have been reports of Saucers in the Sky!
-
Have fun, JRand!
-
Showing old Sci-fi trailers before the play is a fantastic idea! Enjoy the show JRand!

Very, very sad about Dixie Carter. Only 70 years old. I remember first seeing her in the short lived series FILTHY RICH which co-starred the hilarious Ann Wedgeworth, who I adore.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CILLA'S MOM!

I actually haven't watched TV (except for shows on DVD) for the past 10 years. And I used to be a TV editor.

Sometimes the ranting was a bit much ;D
This show reached its zenith during the Reagan years. So few voices were out there balancing out the right-wing extremist equation. Bloodworth-Thomason's was nearly a voice crying out in a wilderness.
Most of "Designing Women's" rants were topical and bi-partisan. One addressed a New York Times article that suggested that southerners were educationally deficient and ate dirt. That article was typical in the serious decline of objective reporting going on throughout the United States. The idiosyncratic behavior of a small group of people was being applied as a stereotype applicable to all southerners.
Another episode tackled a sidewalk news stand selling magazines with pornographic images...a topic that should have been right up any right-winger's alley.
The characters in "Designing Women" are among the most well-defined any show has ever produced. The storylines would dwell on serious issues and ridiculous ones, none as ridiculous -- or endearing -- as those in which Delta Burke's "Suzanne" went around town with her pig Noelle on a leash and wearing some bit of fashion to complement Suzanne's outfits.
Suzanne Sugarbaker was the show's life blood, IMO. It truly represented who Linda Bloodworth-Thomason wanted to be, and Julia Sugarbaker was closer to who she actually was. Both characters bear resemblances to their creator. When Delta Burke left the show, it never truly recovered.
There was nothing "hack" about any of the writing...ever. It also featured a black character -- the wonderful "Anthony Bouvier" -- who started working as a delivery man and worked his way into a partnership with these four southern women. These four women would get Anthony all caught up in women's discussions, thus providing a reverse situation that many women have complained about for years -- inappropriate discussions in the workplace. Anthony's unique and unusual relationship with Suzanne was one of the great joys of watching this series.
The show advocated advanced citizenship for those with a broad outlook on life and personal responsibility, and it was never mean-spirited or bilious in its attacks on political issues...EXCEPT in the matter of AIDS and research and attitudes about the disease and those who have it. This during those years when the disease was epidemic and the most that was done was naming Michael Jordan Magic Johnson to head up a commission that essentially did nothing other than say, "All right! See! We do recognize a problem!"
It certainly wasn't for everyone, but it succeeded in touching many people in many areas where its messages were unheard on the streets and in neighborhoods across America where politics were either Republican or Democratic.
As further evidence of its balanced approach to serious issues, it had its way with the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill investigation in Congress. One of the characters wore a T-Shirt that declared "She Lied" and another wore a sweatshirt stating "He did it!"
As one who believed Hill over Thomas, I thought the show should have taken a position in her favor. I'm certain those who believed in Thomas felt the opposite. That's why I loved the show. It celebrated our differences without dividing us.
Dixie Carter was a wonderful actress in a brilliant ensemble in one of the best TV comedies ever aired. I don't believe the show ever got an Emmy nomination for best comedy, but I could be mistaken.
-
I'm up after a lovelier than lovely night's sleep, which I really needed. So glad I put all the labels on the boxes last night, as helper will be here in forty-five minutes.
-
I don't think I'll mention the errors to Mr. BIG. Not his fault, really. As far as I know, he only had one person doing the layout and she probably wasn't looking for errors.
-
Helper now won't be here until noon - doesn't really matter. Looks very gray and chilly out, so unless that changes I don't know that I'll jog.

Delta Burke received 2 nominations. Dixie Carter was never nominated.

Happy birthday to Cilla's Mom
-
Had a burst of energy that lasted a while a few days ago, but feeling marginally worn down now.
-
The tax work I have to do today is actually really interesting, but I'm not perked up for it.
Maybe some more coffee.
-
I wish I drank coffee, I too could use some perking up. I think the blueberry buttermilk pancakes made for breakfast are dragging me down.
-
Happy birthday to Cilla's mom

I had part one of a three part root canal yesterday - came home and tooka pill and that was it for me - today we went to church, taught Sunday school, attended a congregational meeting in which we ( FINALLY!!! after only three years of looking) voted in our new Pastor!! (HOORAY~!)
Then I drove teh Vixter to her SAT prep class ad ten due to an accident right on my cormer took 1/2 hour to go 2 block so I could get home and see y'all --- and now I msut be gone again as I have errands to run before I pick the Vixter up in 2 hours
-
Sunday afternoon greetings! We are home from Lima and I'm ready for a nap. Two days in a row now I've had to be up before 6am and I'm not used to that!
DR Vixmom - got your email and I'm glad to see you here!
-
Happiest of birthdays to Cillamom!

Some very thoughtful lurker (and I think if we put on our thinking caps we can figure out who) was kind enough to send my little post about Mr. Gordon's book and its errors to Mr. Gordon. I've been on the phone about it this morning, and all will hopefully be well, but I guess only posting things on this board (as opposed to the notes) is no longer safe. And I've promised to send along all the errors that I found so that they can be corrected (the book is print on demand, so all that need be done is for a new pdf to be created).
-
To the troublemaker I can only say - it will all come back to haunt you some fine day.

BK, oy.
-
I guess if you post something here you have to realize that the person involved could read it. Although not very nice to have someone else forward your comments!
-
But great that they will be able to fix the errors. So unless he was very mad it may have all turned out for the best.
-
I am going to attempt to go out on my bike. Not sure if it will be painful. Although it is quite windy, which i hate. Sometimes if it is windy i cut through the park to try to make it more bearable.
-
I also need to stop by the library to drop off some books.

True, she was never nominated for this show. She was nominated for a guest role on DSPERATE HOUSEWIVES.
-
Very eloquent remembrance of the show DESIGNING WOMEN, DR Ron. Thanks for taking the effort to write that.
-
Since I had no shows on the DVR ready to watch while I ate lunch, I went ahead and put in disc two from the BONES season two set (take a bow, DR Elmore, for talking up this wonderful show). I rewatched the episode that featured the death of a girl (and others) tied to a Colombian family with diplomatic immunity. Great cast interactions on this episode.
-
Then I spent the rest of my afternoon with RIDE WITH THE DEVIL. It's a very good film dealing the the Missouri-Kansas skermishes during the Civil War. A cast of simply brilliant young actors in these roles: Toby Maguire, Skeet Ulrich, Simon Baker, Jonathan Rhys Myers, Jeffrey Wright, Mark Ruffalo, Jim Caviezel. And there are some veterans in the cast like Tom Wilkinson and Margo Martindale, too, but the young guys (and Jewel as the love interest) are the real focuses of the attention.
I don't ever remember a Civil War film dealing with this aspect of the war: the Bushwhackers versus the Jayhawkers, but it certainly held my attention for 2 1/2 hours. This is the director's cut; all of the footage Lee cut for the theatrical release was put back in which is why it runs longer than the original release version.
-
I sampled about 15 minutes of each of the two commentaries. The director and screenwriter share one commentary; the cinematographer, the production designer, and the sound designer share the other. Both are interesting since they focus on different aspects of the production.
-
When I go back down, I'll watch I LOVE YOU, MAN and Friday's episode of SPARTACUS.
-
Still chilly out. We're finishing addressing (just another ten minutes or so) and then we'll do postage and then grab something to eat. Tonight's dinner has been canceled, which is actually for the better.
-
CONGRATULATIONS TO DAME ELIZABETH TAYLOR
UPON HER ENGAGEMENT!

I guess I'll hop off-line now and get some writing done. Then, it's downstairs to clean my bathroom, put away the folded laundry, and then return to viewing for the evening.
WBBL.

My sentiments. At least it turned out best for the book.

She must have rice marks.

CONGRATULATIONS TO DAME ELIZABETH TAYLOR

It's official? I read hints about it yesterday.
-
Wow, BK.
-
Well, hopefully several people will look over the manuscript and see if all the errors can be caught.
-
Troublemakers, whomever they are, should really learn to get a life and stop lurking here. But I suppose it gives them great joy to do their thing, so in that way we provide a service for these dunderheads. And, should this particular troublemaker be reading the board today - you can kiss my ASS.

I also watched RIDE WITH THE DEVIL this afternoon and I did enjoy it.
However, I don't think that they needed to reinstate the 14 minutes that was cut from the theatrical release.
In its current version, it is a bit long.

I don't get why people would want to cause trouble.

Yep. But it all seems fine now and I didn't really want to eat too much this evening, so it's fine. If raising the red flag about the errors results in getting errors fixed, then it's all for the best. That this person takes such delight in causing this sort of problem (and was unsuccessful in so doing), then this person should seek some sort of therapy. In the meantime, they can kiss my ASS.
-
Went to the Eclectic Cafe and had some egg and pasta thing that was good.

Doing postage now and then the rest of the day and evening are mine all mine.

Happily, those who have been banned have been banned - and they, too, can kiss my ASS.

The nice thing about the board is that things discussed here do not show up in any search engines, at least not that I've been able to see. It takes a dunderhead to take the info here and send it along to people.

Back from the San Fernando valley.
It is a lovely theater space - and technically the show is quite interesting....set wise, etc...a few missed cues here and there.
A couple of casting choices that seemed off to me.....one nearly fatal.....but the music sounded great and most of the jokes landed....one acting choice killed a big plot point....but then again.
MR BK - you have two COMPED tickets reserved in your name. Scott R. says he hasn't told many people you are coming and asked if you would like to be introduced from the audience or otherwise singled out.....I told him I didn't think so, but just Facebook him if you have any concerns.
Very nice guy. Just remember you are in Indiana......

It's up to them if they want to introduce me - I don't really care one way or the other - but I'll probably want to meet the company of players afterwards.
-
BK --Just want to tell you how much I love The Steven Sondheim Album! I bought it for Brent's song: "Make The Most of Your Music," which is wonderful, but I've come to love so many others. Whenever I need a laugh I just listen to Dame Edna's "Losing My Mind." And Norm Lewis is just so great on "With So Little to Be Sure Of/Who Could Be Blue"---I've listened to it over and over! Those are just a few examples-the whole CD is terrific!
-
Yes I mentioned that an afterwards meeting and photo opportunity would be fun. Scott says he knows the cast will want to meet you. So an interesting evening will be ahead.

Looks like TAR will be a bit late....thanks, Tiger.

Just to play the Non-Devil's Advocate, is it possible that the lurker just wanted to inform Mr. BIG that there were errors in his book without any real intention of causing trouble for you and/or Mr. BIG?
You also mentioned that mentions here on HHW don't show up on Google, well... I think they do. I know that I've used Google in order to track down past posts since the Search function here on this board doesn't seem to work all the time. Additionally, it's also possible for someone to set up Google Alerts (http://www.google.com/alerts) for themselves or someone else.

Bruce, I hate to break it to you but things discussed on this board do end up in search engines, including the most popular, Google.

DR JRand - Sounds like you had a nice afternoon in the SFV. Did you wear your "hair" to the show?
-
Hmmm, who knew? And no, I don't think anyone sending what I wrote to Mr. BIG was doing it for any other reasons than to cause trouble. The funny thing is that I was going to have what would have amounted to a conversation with the editor of the book and I would have said exactly what I said in exactly the same words - having reread those words, there was nothing horrible in them - they were about specific things like mistakes. I made it very clear that I enjoyed the style and the storytelling, especially the early years. And I recommend the book to anyone who loves that period and Mr. BIG. But the errors need to be fixed so that it can be the book that I know its author would want out in the world - that's not changing content, it's just being a meticulous proofer.

No....just my Attack of the 50 Foot Woman t-shirt....

Very eloquent remembrance of the show DESIGNING WOMEN, DR Ron. Thanks for taking the effort to write that.
I second what DR MattH wrote, DR Ron Pulliam. Thank You.
*And I have to say that I'm loving all the tributes being posted on Facebook - especially the clip of the "And that.. Was the night.. The lights.. Went out.. In Georgia!" speech.
-
Happy Birthday to DR Cillaliz's Mom!!!!
-
TAR most exciting this week.
-
I am glad so many people enjoyed DESIGNING WOMEN.
But I did not. Thank you very much.

BK --Just want to tell you how much I love The Steven Sondheim Album! I bought it for Brent's song: "Make The Most of Your Music," which is wonderful, but I've come to love so many others. Whenever I need a laugh I just listen to Dame Edna's "Losing My Mind." And Norm Lewis is just so great on "With So Little to Be Sure Of/Who Could Be Blue"---I've listened to it over and over! Those are just a few examples-the whole CD is terrific!
DR KevinH - I believe you mean "The Stephen Sondheim Album". ;)
Uh, oh. Enough with the name checks on the site.
Well... At least I'm reading your posts. :)
Just having some fun.

Back from the San Fernando valley.
It is a lovely theater space - and technically the show is quite interesting....set wise, etc...a few missed cues here and there.
A couple of casting choices that seemed off to me.....one nearly fatal.....but the music sounded great and most of the jokes landed....one acting choice killed a big plot point....but then again.
MR BK - you have two COMPED tickets reserved in your name. Scott R. says he hasn't told many people you are coming and asked if you would like to be introduced from the audience or otherwise singled out.....I told him I didn't think so, but just Facebook him if you have any concerns.
Very nice guy. Just remember you are in Indiana......
It's up to them if they want to introduce me - I don't really care one way or the other - but I'll probably want to meet the company of players afterwards.
Wow! Just like when Queen Elizabeth goes backstage. Well, sort of.

Michael Jordan has never had AIDS.
And I guess I should clarify: Magic Johnson is HIV+. His condition - at least according to "public knowledge" - has not developed into full blown AIDS. Additionally, Magic Johnson did join the National Commission on AIDS, but he left the commission after a couple of months since he felt that the commission was not doing enough work. However, he did found his own foundation/charity shortly after he announced that he was diagnosed with HIV, and the Magic Johnson Foundation (http://www.magicjohnson.com/index.php?/foundation/) is still working to combat the spread and stigma of AIDS today.

Ahh, youth! A guy I know who is a very talented singer and actor is just wrapping up two weeks of auditions and theater-going in New York City. He just finished playing Don Lockwood in SINGING IN THE RAIN in Florida and is heading home to the Northwest for a production of 42nd STREET.
One evening, after attending a performance of PROMISES, PROMISES; he was asked how he liked the show. After saying several nice things about Sean Hayes; he then added, "I liked Chenoweth mostly in her guitar folksie song."
Translation: I'LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN

I think we can never have enough of Kiss Mah Ass.....as they say in Designing Women - the pinnacle of television acting, writing, and as far as I know, makeup and doilies.

Coincidentally, I received my Mr. BIG autobiography in the mail yesterday, and with a very nice inscription mentioning that I am the "biggest" AOPP (Attack of the Puppet People" fan ever...I am sure his daughter Susan ( previous interviewee of mine) had a hand in that since I wouldn't expect Bert to remember me from our one time meeting, and if so then that was particularly sweet of her to remind him!!

I am still waiting for Mr. Sheffield to propose.

I should probably get back to my Bollywood horror film, ROKKK (2010). A ghostly story of a woman accused of two murders actually, or seemingly, perpetrated by an evil spirit.
Not a bad film and it has made me jump a few times. It stars Shaad Randhawa who is the son of two of my favorite yesteryear Bollywood performers, Malika and Randhawa. My only gripe with the movie is that there there are no songs/dances >:(

I did. Did you read about the airline that is going to charge up to $45 to carry on a bag?
-
When I finished with housework, I settled in by pulling up my DVR list, and there was last night's CASTLE rerun which I had completely forgotten about, so I began by watching that. This was the one who revealed the person who murdered Beckett's mother (though it was just a hit man; we still don't know who ordered the hit). Very enjoyable episode.

Keith doesn't want to fly to L.A. for my uncle's 90th birthday party & I'm not up to the long drive or take that much time from my PT appointments. I have considered flying alone. At the moment I'm not up to that either. I might be closer to the date.

I just had it in my mind that she was one of those fabulous people who deserved MANY awards and never won an Emmy. Her male counterpart Paul Lynde never won one either even though he got nominated several times for THE HOLLYWOOD SQUARES.

Anyway, after I watched last night's CASTLE rerun, I watched I LOVE YOU, MAN. An OK buddy comedy; there were a few genuinely funny moments, and there were some running gags that paid off pretty well, too.
Not a great comedy by any means, but I'm glad I saw it.

BK, there was a big article in today's Oregonian that I5 by Olympia will be "a parking lot" (the newspaper's words) on the weekends for the next 5-6 weeks due to having 3 lanes in each direction closed simultaneously. So you should plan your trip from SeaTac accordingly.

In sad, news, my beloved Aunt Betty passed Saturday morning. She was the sweetest woman I believe I've ever met. She would have been 90 this October 6--yes, she was born on my birthday, and we were both left-handed. In an unbelievable synchronicity there was another Uncle in our family who had been born on October 6 and was left-handed. Aunt Betty told me years ago that should I ever meet anyone else born on October 6 and they turned out to be right-handed I should inform them that that was incorrect. :)
-
Here's a link to her obit:

Thoughts for you and your family DR JMK. We both lost an Aunt Betty this spring.
-
The Brimms had the coolest Iowa farmhouse that I stayed at several summers growing up. It was really a Tom Sawyer time for me--I remember biking down to the Cedar River (I think that's its name) to fish with my cousin Bob. And they had a HUGE treehouse insanely high in a gigantic tree in their backyard that we camped out in.
-
We saw Aunt Betty a few years ago when we were summering in Wisconsin and took a little side trip to Iowa. Gabe was probably 4 or so and Zach was 2. She was still sharp as a tack, though was starting to find it harder to get around. She also kind of shocked me with several kind of racy anecdotes about my mother, her older sister. ;)
-
Betty's husband, my Uncle Paul, was Dean of the Iowa Teachers' College in Cedar Falls, which is now called University of Northern Iowa.
-
I am going to go for the evening.....going to try out this new Sony Soundstage software that will transfer an LP to a CD.
-
One of the summers I was back there Uncle Paul was giving exams to some of his graduating teachers and they needed to "teach" a course to a volunteer student, so Paul volunteered me. That's where I learned to write a check (LOL) and also that in Iowa evidently "w" is sometimes considered a vowel. (The teacher had a little list with blanks where I was supposed to stick in vowels, and there was a blank left over. I knew about "y" sometimes being a vowel, but in Utah "w" is never a vowel ;) ).

Hi ;D

I'm going to close down everything here and head downstairs to bed.
Good night!

Guess I better clean my messy kitchen, forgot that I seem to manage to get food everywhere, including the floor and myself :-[
But the sauces are yummy. One spaghetti sauce fresh zucchini and fresh oregano, one spaghetti sauce fresh basil and cauliflower. Very healthy and country style thick enough to eat as soup actually, no noodles required.

Goodnight everyone.
LOTS AND LOTS OF VIBES ;) ;).
And happy Monday.

I'm sorry for your loss, JMK. How nice that you have such lovely memories of your Aunt Betty. She sounds like quite a woman!

What are the options? I'm coming in on a Friday morning and leaving Saturday morning.

Happily, those who have been banned have been banned - and they, too, can kiss my ASS.
Was it the same banned ASS I am thinking of?
One can't be certain, but I'm having a hard time thinking of who else it might have been. Whoever it was can, of course, kiss my ASS.
Just to play the Non-Devil's Advocate, is it possible that the lurker just wanted to inform Mr. BIG that there were errors in his book without any real intention of causing trouble for you and/or Mr. BIG?
You also mentioned that mentions here on HHW don't show up on Google, well... I think they do. I know that I've used Google in order to track down past posts since the Search function here on this board doesn't seem to work all the time. Additionally, it's also possible for someone to set up Google Alerts (http://www.google.com/alerts) for themselves or someone else.
The thing I was wondering was who would even have Mr. Big's email address to notify him so quickly.

One doesn't need an e-mail address for Mr. BIG - Facebook is everyone's friend.

My condolences, DR JMK.

Sorry to read your news DR JMK.

By the way, there's an airline talking about charging to use the bathrooms on the plane. Now, if that's not fodder for a "Urinetown" sequel.
And they can kiss mah ass in their own pay toilet.
-

I guess if you look up the person's name and it happens to be there. But then Mr. Big could certainly tell you who sent him the email, since facebook is not anonymous.

What would even be the point to charge for the bathroom on a plane? Does it cost the airline extra per flush?

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes to by mother! We had a great day, fried chicken at the Gingham in with my parents, brother and sister in law and friend Gretchen. They brought my mom a pyramid of thin mints with a candle on top and gave us each ice cream sundaes. (they don't serve cake)
After lunch, we went to my parents' place at the lake and I helped mom get out the outside stuff that has been in storage all winter. It took us a while, but she would have done it all herself if I hadn't been there, so I was glad to do it.
The weather was great today and she was SOOO happy to have it all done. Tomorrow her friends are throwing a luncheon party for her, so she's very pleased
-
Welcome six GUESTS - one of you can kiss my ASS - and I'm guessing that particular one knows exactly who they are :)
-
My condolences as well, DR JMK.
-
I just caught up with Thursday's episode of FLASHFOWARD and am back to liking it. This week's episode was involving, suspenseful and surprising. The character trait which I loathed in the previous episode was diluted just enough with a "Three Years Before The Blackout" scene, which softened the hardness of that particular character's arc. And, what a nice twist ending!
-
Good Evening!
Oh... I guess I already said that. Anyhoo...
I think I've lost track of just how many impromptu, unexpected, unplanned naps I've taken today. Just sayin'.

You really MUST be joking, dear. You are either blind as a bat or really do turn a blind eye to what has gone on around here. But you just keep on keeping on. My eyes are rolling much more than yours, believe me. We have had, in case you haven't noticed, one specific troublemaker on here, and that troublemaker has done this before in different ways. Shame on you for always doing this. Sometimes I am truly baffled, oh, yes, I am truly baffled.

I am watching a TV movie from the 1980's on This television!
Lee Majors is the pilot on some kind of airliner that is suddenly going into orbit around the earth instead of staying in its flight lane. As far as I know, none of the passengers have gone to the bathroom yet, but they are struggling with weightlessness.

Lauren Hutton is the flight attendant.

bk - I know what's going on here. Trust me. I am not turning a blind eye to anything. However, I am choosing not to acknowledge any possible "bad" actions by "someone".
If you really wish to stop this troublemaker, then go ahead and password protect the whole site, and that would also "prevent" it from being fully indexed on Google.
And just how much "trouble" did this "troublemaker" cause this time? You've already said it yourself, that if getting that information to Mr. BIG causes future print runs of the book to get corrected, then that's all for the better.

Anticipating Monday Lunch at KFC
By Sam Sifton (http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/04/09/anticipating-monday-lunch-at-kfc/?src=twt&twt=nytimesdining)
"Little sleep overnight as I gear up for a weekend’s worry about what it’s going to be like to taste this KFC “Double Down” sandwich the fried chicken company is releasing on Monday.
The sandwich contains no bread. Instead, two deep-fried boneless white-meat chicken filets act in bread’s place. They contain a sandwich of bacon and melted cheese between them, with a splat of a mayonnaise product called Colonel’s Sauce to moisten the whole.
Lettuce? Tomato? Come on. The Double Down is a sandwich, not a salad. There is no lettuce on it. There is no tomato...."

Not worth arguing about. If you don't get what happened I cannot help you. Do you think some stranger showed up out of the blue, paid a visit to the board just in time to see a post, and then sent it along? I know better. The board is protected only by the ability to ban troublemakers. That is all we can do on this board. I cannot stop people from lurking nor would I want to, as I know some of our lurkers and they are very nice folks. Just how much trouble does a troublemaker have to cause before you stop calling people paranoid? Really. The INTENTION was to cause trouble. It initially certainly caused a little hiccup, but all is well now, so the intention was not successful. I continue to be baffled but that's the way it is.

Thanks for the wishes, everyone. It's sad, yes, but she lived a good long life, and even better, she lived a GOOD long live, if you know what I mean. I had totally forgotten she had a Masters from Columbia until I read her obit this morning. Such a great lady.

That looks pretty good actually. 540 calories, certainly doable and means that one has another 600 or 700 calories to consume to get to a 1200 calorie day.

I ate some pasta/egg thing for lunch, which wasn't all that much food. That was my only meal, so I felt I could afford one serving of a Ben and Jerry's ice cream - I'd really wanted to try their new Everything But flavor and so I did. Boy is it good. Vanilla, chocolate, almonds, fudge chips, peanut butter cups, heath bars - a veritable whirlwind of flavors bursting in the mouth.

I ate some pasta/egg thing for lunch, which wasn't all that much food. That was my only meal, so I felt I could afford one serving of a Ben and Jerry's ice cream - I'd really wanted to try their new Everything But flavor and so I did. Boy is it good. Vanilla, chocolate, almonds, fudge chips, peanut butter cups, heath bars - a veritable whirlwind of flavors bursting in the mouth.
That's not a "new" flavor. Trust me. I know my Ben & Jerry's. :)
*Although, "Everything But The..." has changed over the years. It was originally a combination of "New York Super Fudge Chunk" and their "Heath Bar Crunch" (I think I'm remembering that correctly). However, peanut butter cups were soon added to the mix. -And for the better too. :)
-
I'm relaxing at the computer and I think I'll take a shower in a little while. Meanwhile, I'm going to turn on the laptop and do updates - haven't even had it on in over four months, but since I'll be taking it with me, I may as well have all the updates done.

I guess they come and go in terms of what they actually sell in supermarkets. But I loved this flavor - and one serving is perfect.

Whoa!
Just reading the reports of an ongoing fire in NYC's Chinatown. A 6-story building... 6 alarm fire... :-\

BK, there was a big article in today's Oregonian that I5 by Olympia will be "a parking lot" (the newspaper's words) on the weekends for the next 5-6 weeks due to having 3 lanes in each direction closed simultaneously. So you should plan your trip from SeaTac accordingly.
What are the options? I'm coming in on a Friday morning and leaving Saturday morning.
If you come in on Friday morning/afternoon, there shouldn't be any trouble either day. The weekend of May 7-8, only the southbound lanes will be closed and you should arrive and be in Olympia before 7:00...right?
Here are the closures for May 7-8:
Lakewood/Tacoma southbound - Extended Triple Lane Closure (7 p.m. Friday to 11 a.m. Saturday and 7 p.m. Saturday to noon Sunday)

OH! And there was a MAJOR OS update that came out two weeks ago. It will take a while.

BK --Just want to tell you how much I love The Steven Sondheim Album! I bought it for Brent's song: "Make The Most of Your Music," which is wonderful, but I've come to love so many others. Whenever I need a laugh I just listen to Dame Edna's "Losing My Mind." And Norm Lewis is just so great on "With So Little to Be Sure Of/Who Could Be Blue"---I've listened to it over and over! Those are just a few examples-the whole CD is terrific!
Thanks much. That one was fun all the way around, I must say. Dame Edna is priceless and was my best decision on the album.
I agree!

DR Ron Pulliam - In the spirit of "name checking", I believe you meant to indicate "Magic Johnson", not "Michael Jordan".
Michael Jordan had AIDS, not Magic Johnson. I don't know who led the commission.
Magic Johnson was HIV positive. I don't believe it has developed into full blown AIDS. To my knowledge Michael Jordan does not have AIDS.
I should go back & delete my post ;)
Yes, I totally had my "MJs" mixed up..."Magic"...not "Michael"..."Johnson"...not "Jordan" or "Jackson".

It's raining in LA? I wonder if we'll get it. It doesn't feel like it's a possibility now.
-
OK...
I think I need to return to napping...
Goodnight.

I live in blessed ignorance, which is a very nice place, sometimes.

bk - Then just name the NAME. All you're doing by not naming them is protecting their anonymity and enforcing(?) their cowardice.
Name the name? Do you think there's more than one choice? I'm just letting my mind go to the obvious place because frankly it is inconceivable that it was anyone else. I don't wish to dignify the behavior further, and you should understand that, I should think.
I do. So why did you bring it up in the first place?
I brought it up because it was irritating and I felt like bringing it up. How's that for a reason? And we hadn't had a good day of kiss my ASS in quite some time - since the last time, actually.
Is this the person who came here to pimp the membership list of this forum for his blog?

I guess no rain here for tomorrow.
Here's our weather forecast for tomorrow from Accuweather.com:
" ..FIRE WEATHER WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY EVENING FOR THE SOUTH-CENTRAL DESERTS INCLUDING PHOENIX DUE TO STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS...LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND A HIGH FIRE DANGER......
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE AHEAD OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY MONDAY AFTERNOON. SUSTAINED 20-FOOT WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH GUSTING TO 35 MPH ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS MARICOPA AND NORTHWEST PINAL COUNTIES...INCLUDING THE PHOENIX AREA...LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EARLY EVENING. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE LATER MONDAY EVENING AS MOISTURE INCREASES AND WINDS SUBSIDE."
-
What's a 20-foot wind?

A really REALLY big one!

Well I should be fine then if those are the Seattle closures.
-
It is indeed raining here.
-
What would even be the point to charge for the bathroom on a plane? Does it cost the airline extra per flush?
It's a way to make money for the airline, DR Jennifer.
-
Looks like our winter weather is over now. In the winter we get the rains after LA gets them.
-
Showing old Sci-fi trailers before the play is a fantastic idea! Enjoy the show JRand!
That sounds like a cool idea...I wish we'd thought of that.
-
Did everyone read about the airline that was considering removing all but one toilet on each of their planes AND make it coin-operated?
I can't imagine that this could even be legal. Buildings are required to have a certain number of restrooms based on its capacity. Airplanes must have the same requirements...right?
-
Very eloquent remembrance of the show DESIGNING WOMEN, DR Ron. Thanks for taking the effort to write that.
Ditto and ditto. :)
-
I'm watching the two-hour "Brothers & Sisters." It's actually pretty good...I was starting to get tired of the show, so this episode is a bit of a surprise.
-
DR JMK: My sympathies are also extended on the passing of your Aunt Betty. I'm certain many of us have had our own versions of "Aunt Betty" and we know how much she meant to you and how much you grieve for her loss.
-
May I just say, "Whew!"? and "Whew!" again!!
I have finally finished my taxes. Started last Sunday. Stumbled across the "Work for Pay" credit and spent the past week trying to figure it all out. Bank records were scanned, Schedule M filled out, and final versions of both federal and state were filled out and assembled.
No refunds this year, so....they can dang well wait for the checks.

I, too, found it rather dreary going shortly after the season started and I dropped it cold. The previews for this season-ender were provocative enough to raise my interest and I'm recording it on DVR...to peruse later. Just cannot take all the high drama just before bedtime.

I really have only kept watching it was because it's on after "Desperate Housewives" and I stay up late.

Are you following "Spartacus" on Starz?

LOL. I think you make some very deliberate choices and ignore those who urge you to change your ways. I like it that you are not delusional!

I wish...but I don't have Starz.

Finished a second scary Bollywood movie, this one called HIDE AND SEEK (2010). A group of people, who share a tragic incident from 12 years previous, are abducted and find themselves trapped in a vacant shopping mall where someone dressed as Santy Claus is trying to kill them, or get them to kill each other.
I jumped several times during this one!
Again, no song and dance numbers (what is happening in Bollywood!!!), but if you like scary movies, this one keeps you on the edge of your seat!

Oh, and HIDE AND SEEK introduced me to a new favorite Indian actor, Ayaz Khan. Had never seen him before, but I do hope to see more of him in the future!!!!

He was very talented...especially running around in that skimpy bathrobe.

I'm just sayin'.

I had part one of a three part root canal yesterday - came home and took a pill and that was it for me - today we went to church, taught Sunday school, attended a congregational meeting in which we ( FINALLY!!! after only three years of looking) voted in our new Pastor!! (HOORAY~!)
Three years?? Yikes! Our library system is hiring a new director (our previous director retired last October). They announced the position and didn't get enough applicants...they said that it wasn't that they weren't good enough, they just wanted more to choose from, so they reopened the position and now it finally seems that they have enough applicants. There are several from the west coast, a few from the east coast and mid-west, and one even from Greece! Hopefully, it won't be too long before they announce who'll they'll interview in person. That's when the public (and staff) will know who's in the running.
