Poker Game

Six retired Floridians were playing poker in the condo clubhouse when Goldberg loses $500 on a single hand, clutches his chest, and drops dead at the table.

Showing respect for their fallen comrade, the other five continue playing standing up.

Moskowitz looks around and asks, 'So, who's gonna tell his wife?'
 
They cut the cards. Finklestein picks the two of clubs and has to carry the news.
 
They tell him to be discreet, be gentle, don't make a bad situation any worse.  
 
'Discreet? I'm the most discreet person you'll ever meet. Discretion is my middle name. Leave it to me.'

So Finklestein goes to the Goldberg unit and knocks on the door Mrs, Goldberg yells from behind the door, 'What do you want?'

Finklestein declares: 'Your husband just lost $500 in a poker game and is afraid to come home. He needs more money.'
 
'Tell him to drop dead!' yells the wife.
'I'll go tell him,' says Finklestein.

Oscar Madison: I can't take it anymore, Felix, I'm cracking up. Everything you do irritates me. And when you're not here, the things I know you're gonna do when you come in irritate me. You leave me little notes on my pillow. Told you 158 times I can't stand little notes on my pillow. "We're all out of cornflakes. F.U." Took me three hours to figure out F.U. was Felix Ungar!

Felix Ungar: In other words, you're throwin' me out.
Oscar Madison: Not in other words. Those are the perfect ones!

Oscar Madison: You can't spend the rest of your life crying. It annoys people in the movies.
 
Oscar Madison: Wait a minute, you're not going anywhere until you take it back!
Felix Ungar: Take what back?
Oscar Madison: "Let it be on your head." What the hell is that, the Curse of the Cat People?

Reprieve for the Pint and the Ounce
By DAN BILEFSKY

BRUSSELS, Sept. 11 — Britons and the Irish can still down a pint of beer, walk a mile, covet an ounce of gold and eat a pound of bananas after the European Union ruled today that the countries could retain measurements dating back to the Middle Ages.

Under a previous European Union plan, Britain and Ireland would have been forced to adopt the metric system and phase out imperial measurements by 2009. But after a vociferous antimetric campaign by British skeptics and London’s tabloid press, European Union officials decided that an ounce of common sense (or 28.3 grams) suggested that granting a reprieve was better than braving a public backlash.

They also feared that forcing Britain to abolish the imperial system would have damaged European Union trade with the United States, one of three countries, including Liberia and Myanmar, that have not officially adopted the metric system.


Remember those giggle times years ago when they tried to get the US to go metric and all the gas stations started pricing gas by the liter?

As far as I'm concerned, Ny-Quil is a miracle drug. It has come to my rescue SO many times. It always knocks me out and provides cold/flu symptom relief. I used to swear by Comtrex, but it in the last decade, Ny-Quil is my drug of choice when I start to feel like a cold or the flu is coming on.

Lady:  I have seven children.

Groucho:  Seven children....my goodness.

Lady:  Yes, I love my husband.

Groucho:  Well I love my cigar, too, but I take it out of my mouth now and then.

Send this one to that couple who just had their 17th child!

Nestled near New Orleans, among marshy bogs crawling with gators and accessible only by boat, lies Honey Island Swamp, home of the River Pople. With a heap of photos and plenty of storytelling, Swamp Cooking with the River People is enthralling as cultural anthropology - but as a cuisine it's something else. Witness an alligator rodeo, stop in at the Elks Lodge, go wild hog hunting. Features over 100 recipes including Mudbug Jambalaya, Charlies Tree Rat Stew, Smothered Frogs Legs, Coonass Coleslaw and Wanda's Whisky Cake.

I woke up feeling very cruddy today but thought I'd tough it out and go to Sioux Falls to visit the client I need to see there.  I went to the office and here came Nadia...also sick and not looking well at all.   I made the executive decision that we would wait to go to Sioux Falls until Monday.  

I came home to check on Callie who had been acting funny last night and this morning.   The poor thing was straining and strainging trying to poop...she was clearly in pain so I took her right to the vet.   Turns out her old problem is back. It looks like she's imacted again. Like she was 2 1/2 years ago.  So she's in the hospital so they can see if they can soften things up. Due to her malformed bone structure it took them 9 days in the hospital last time. I'm really hoping it isn't that bad now.  They were planning to sedate her and will call me later today. Poor thing.  We've done the meds twice a day every day for 2 1/2 years and it worked up until now. I'm really worried what we will have to do next.  She's only 5 years old.

If you're lucky, her dress will pucker under her arms.

Feel better, Bruce.  And break a leg or whatever will do the trick.   If you walk around on NyQuil; you'll probably succeed.   Trust me.

While I have been shaving or waiting to go to sleep, I  have actually watched a few minutes here and there of TV in my hotel.   I have seen 5 minutes each of three different episodes of "Wild Wild West," and I know this wilol be hard for some of you to believe, but each time Robert Conrad has been in his Spandex pants and tied up by someone.  Amazing.   No wonder my youth was affected!

AND i saw 5 minutes of "I Love Lucy," and again, believe it or not, it was an episode where she was trying to keep a secret from Ricky!

TV these days has nothing on this!


Hugs and good vibes to all!.

I'm off the the beach to watch the waves and all the beach has to offer.     ;)  I remembered yesterday that I have no hair on the top of my head and to buy a hat.  After walking on the beach now since the other day, it's about 2 days late, but what the heck?!    You'd think after about 5 years, I'd remember, but the that's noit the image of myself(from around 25 years ago) that i have in  my head.  Ah well!

Maybe Bob Conrad will be tied up later!

I came home to check on Callie who had been acting funny last night and this morning.   The poor thing was straining and strainging trying to poop...she was clearly in pain so I took her right to the vet.   Turns out her old problem is back. It looks like she's imacted again. Like she was 2 1/2 years ago.  So she's in the hospital so they can see if they can soften things up. Due to her malformed bone structure it took them 9 days in the hospital last time. I'm really hoping it isn't that bad now.  They were planning to sedate her and will call me later today. Poor thing.  We've done the meds twice a day every day for 2 1/2 years and it worked up until now. I'm really worried what we will have to do next.  She's only 5 years old.

Today was the first of my brownbag lunch events for nonprofits after our summer break.  When I left here yesterday, of course, there was every possibility that I would not be coming to work today.  One of my coworkers, our managers, their boss, and someone in our PR office all pitched in and it was quite evident that the event would have gone just fine without me.  Glad, for a whole bunch of reasons, I was able to be here, but it's nice to know that my colleagues are so caring.

Not to be too graphic, but Callie has the same problem she had 2 1/2 years ago. To put it bluntly she has impacted poop that is hard as a rock and due to the small size of her pelvic opening she can't poop and they can't get it out digitally. So the poor thing has to have warm water enemas in the hope that they can soften it up and she can pass it.  

She had the first this afternoon and there was some progress but they have to do it again in the morning, so she'll be in the hospital for a while. I just hope it's not the 9 days it took last time.

I began my afternoon watching GOOD MORNING, MISS DOVE recorded from the Fox Movie Channel. Irritatingly, it was pan and scanned, and since it's a Cinemascope movie, well, you can imagine how dissatisfied I was. Still, I hadn't seen it in awhile, and since it always makes me cry (a lot; very sentimental and beautiful take on the influence a teacher has on a community), I watched it anyway.

I concluded my afternoon watching the last half hour of a LAW & ORDER repeat on TNT-HD. This was from the Benjamin Bratt years before the show went to high def, but TNT has up converted the old episodes, and you'd swear they were filmed in high def. Beautiful, rich, and three dimensional picture, and it was an interesting case that involved an incompetent psychiatrist.

We already knew THE CLOSER was a big hit, but here's conclusive proof taken from an article at Zap2It today:

"The third season of "The Closer" finished in much the same way it started -- with another record night in the ratings.

Monday's (Sept. 10) season finale on TNT brought in 9.2 million viewers, making it the No. 1 series telecast in the history of ad-supported cable. The show also held the previous record, 8.8 million viewers, set with its season premiere in June."

I watched NBC's "The Biggest Loser" last night.

It was a quick two hours (premiere show) and has some interesting competitors.  There seem to be more "larger" individuals than in seasons past, although not "that much" larger.  Two of the guys topped 400 pounds in the initial weigh-in, but results after one week saw both drop below that.  Several women were at or over 300 pounds.
 
It should be an interesting season, especially since there will be THREE (count 'em THREE) teams.  The Red and Blue teams know nothing about the Black team (headed by original female trainer Jillian).  The Black team will join the other two in next week's show.  It should create quite a stir.

The Blue team won the weigh-in and the Red team had to evict someone.  They picked EXACTLY the right person to go.  

Bless her heart, she was the heaviest female in the competition.  She lost 7 pounds, but should have lost more.  It was clear she was weighing her team down (so to speak) because she just wasn't likely to drop the weight she needed to in order to offset her starting weight's contributions to their overall body fat (which is how the winner each week is determined -- combined loss of weight converted to body fat percentage).  Add to that her attitude during the first week, including her overstated desire to quite and go home after the first workout, they were all tired of her ass.

Her team now has a chance to be more competitive, IMO.

Back from rehearsal and a brief stop at the post office.  We did a complete run, which actually went surprisingly well.  I gave very specific notes today, and then we ran those scenes.  There's one scene in particular that was a problem in LA and has been a problem here.  It's very difficult to get the tone of it right for one character, and we really worked hard on it this afternoon and I think we finally made some good headway that will really help.  It's funny, Rob inverted a line of dialogue today, and for the first time it made sense to me, so I rewrote it and then just added one short line to the end of his little speech.  Actors, I do love them.

Were they at least wearing "fanny packs" over their crotches?

That's another U.S.-male-contrivance:  Fanny packs were designed to be worn "behind" you, but men began wearing them directly over their crotches.  

I cannot tell you how silly I think that looks, but when the fanny pack actually covers up something NO ONE should ever have to SEE, it serves a fair purpose.

I woke up feeling very cruddy today but thought I'd tough it out and go to Sioux Falls to visit the client I need to see there.  I went to the office and here came Nadia...also sick and not looking well at all.   I made the executive decision that we would wait to go to Sioux Falls until Monday.  

I came home to check on Callie who had been acting funny last night and this morning.   The poor thing was straining and strainging trying to poop...she was clearly in pain so I took her right to the vet.   Turns out her old problem is back. It looks like she's imacted again. Like she was 2 1/2 years ago.  So she's in the hospital so they can see if they can soften things up. Due to her malformed bone structure it took them 9 days in the hospital last time. I'm really hoping it isn't that bad now.  They were planning to sedate her and will call me later today. Poor thing.  We've done the meds twice a day every day for 2 1/2 years and it worked up until now. I'm really worried what we will have to do next.  She's only 5 years old.

Cilla, thank goodness you were sick.  Odd how that can work.  What is the medicine Callie takes?  BEST OF VIBES FOR SWEET CALLIE!

I cannot quite figure out why, but we Americans teach boys not to show emotions, not to express affection openly and to be ashamed of their bodies.

Even in a culture that worships the body in magazines and gymnasiums, American men have a great bugaboo attitude toward wearing anything that accentuates their physiology.

Coupled with the overly trashy female fashion trends (does every young woman need to dress like a whore?), it seems very surreal to me.

Plus we get a plethora of buttcracks from men and women who wear clothes much too small for their generous frames, not to mention far too many "workout" garments of questionable stability (i.e. worn out, flimsy) being worn as everyday attire...street wear...and in some very sad cases, "office" attire.

And I just know "someone" doesn't want me to get started on "bicycle" shorts.

Lord have mercy.  First of all, what on earth do "John and Jane Doe" need with state-of-the-art racing togs when they go out biking on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon?

Go into a coffee shop and BE AMAZED at otherwise rational people prancing around in full bicycle racer drag...it's astonishing to me.  These items are pricey, yes, and so "courant"....but honestly!  Unless you're going to actually RACE on a bicycle, regular shorts and a t-shirt should do you more good...won't chafe the skin and will absorb moisture better and give you a better idea of how much sweating you've done.

Needless to say, I don't see anyone in bike shorts AND fanny packs.  And because of that, some of these guys totally need to consider athletic support.

Ron-LOL.  Those shorts are truly ugly.

Years ago we belonged to a nice gym/tennis club.  Most of the women wore those spandex workout clothes & I was always getting asked for proof I was a member, after all I only wore shorts & a t-shirt.  One day I tried on a couple of "work out" clothes.  They were horrible, I couldn't keep them on for more than a few seconds, just about the most uncomfortable thing I have ever worn & there was no way I would work out in them.

DR singdaw - For now, my Poppins duties are restricted to day rehearsals, so if I get asked to come in for A Chorus Line, I can still cover the evening shows over at the Schoenfeld.

And once I get the Key 2 book learned at Poppins, then it's just a matter of scheduling.  And keeping track of my schedule.  It's actually quite common for some subs to cover anywhere from two-five - or even six different shows.  I have a friend who at one point and time was covering five different shows all at once, and there were a few weeks last summer where he was playing a different show each night of the week (Rent on Tuesday, Hairspray on Wednesday, Mamma Mia! on Thursday, Wicked on Friday, etc., etc.).  It can happen.  Some people thrive off of that.  I can't.  I don't.  And I won't.

Callie doesn't get to come home tonight, she's in the Animal Hospital over night and will receive another warm water enema in the morning.  I went to visit a couple hours ago.  They encourage pet owners to visit their pets who have to stay overnight.   She seemed better than she was at home, but kept trying to poop to no avail.  I told her to get even with the people who were doing strange things to her by pooping all over the place.

Anyway, we won't know for a while. I'm hoping she can come home tomorrow.   They were able to break things up a little by manipulating from the outside. That had to hurt after the sedative wore off.   She was pretty good with me, but when the assistant came in to take her back to her cage she gave me a very evil eye then started howling and hissing.

I'm feeling better about Poppins.  I was a bit more hands-on during the teaching portion today, and that helped a lot.  I, still, for some unknown reason, just want the fast songs to go faster - and even the slow songs to go faster.  But I do sense that whatever "block" I put up for myself with this show is finally eroding.

The second part of rehearsal was devoted to choreography, mainly "Supercal...".  Consequently, I had a very easy afternoon.  There's a whole lot of spelling going on!

???

I'm not sure how to read your query... And whether or not I should be reading anything into your query.  In any case...

For Mary Poppins, there are two pianos in the pit.  The "Key 1" player plays the Grand Piano, and the "Key 2" player plays the Upright Piano.  There is ample sitting room behind the Key 1 player.  However, the "observation chair" for Key 2 is makeshift cushion that folds down from part of the set rigging.

Now, if I were at the Schoenfeld tonight...  There are three keyboards, and three keyboard players. Key 1 covers the "original" piano book with some Rhodes and celeste here and there - much like how the original piano book was set up.  Key 2 covers guitar and harp (and some celeste and strings).  Key 3 covers strings and some synth effects.  The observation chairs in that pit are next to the keyboards, players.

As for getting nervous when someone is behind me, someone is observing... No.  I actually like when I have someone auditing - it actually sort of takes some of the pressure away strangely enough.  I go into "teacher mode".  Plus, I have someone to talk to during the breaks.  -And over at A Chorus Line, since we're in a room under the stage, we can talk in non-hushed tones, as well as watch the show on a nice flat-screen TV monitor.

Is that what you wanted to know?

We could increase it. It's been the same for 2 1/2 years.  I'm hopeful, although with her pelvic deformity, they can't use the methods they would normally use, so we don't know how long it will take.  I'm assuming they will be successful eventually, I just hope it's sooner rather than later.

Poor thing.  We've done the meds twice a day every day for 2 1/2 years and it worked up until now. I'm really worried what we will have to do next.  She's only 5 years old.


Good health vibes to Callie from TCB, Angel, and Nicky!

A woman I do not know has just contacted me about performing a Jeanette Macdonald/Nelson Eddy medley at an upcoming benefit.

Should I do it?  Will her dress be flashier than mine own?

A question for the computer-knowing:

If one doesn't have an icon on the desktop for the recycle bin to click on, how does one empty it?

Try looking in the folders just below and to the right (or left) of where your recycle bin used to be. I wouldn't think you could move the recycle bin into a folder...but maybe you can...

Things are going really well at the Starfighter rehearsals.  We did two run throughs of Act 1 yesterday.  The hardest part is trying to stage and block around one or another actor who is not there.  Seems someone is always out - usually at an audition.  I must say, that's one scary concept for a producer.  I cringe inside each time someone has to leave early or come late to go to an audition.  I know this is what they constantly do.  But the thought that someone could pull out of the show at any time . . .

They are all so talented, and I hope they all get amazing jobs  . . .  right after Starfighter is over!

Due to the delays, beyond his control, getting his first applications sent, he is working very hard to send all the secondary applications out as quickly as possible.  So far he hasn’t received secondaries from 5 of the schools he applied to.  Hopefully they are slow & haven’t crossed him off their list.

I have just returned from my friend George's service. It was very nice and was held at a chapel in the old Hollywood district of Portland.

There was one of those after the funeral things at someone's home in Lake Oswego. George's friend Jim wanted me to attend and I made an effort...driving all the way over to Lake Oswego...but I got lost and was feeling sick to my stomach and stressed...saw a sign with an arrow that said I-205 and headed for the freeway and then home.

Jim lives in Keizer, which is near Salem.  I gave him my phone number and so I think we will get together for lunch sometime and talk about George and stuff.

Right now I am exhausted and am ready to hit the bed...but it isn't even 7pm yet.

Thanks MBarnum, me too.  I'm just really hoping that everything passes tomorrow.  I'm more hopeful than I was the last episode. She has been very healthy up until the past few days. The fact she got very mad when the assistant picked her up was a good sign.  Last time she just laid there limp and didn't fight at all.  She's definitely feisty. That gives me a lot of hope.

Yes, - anytime something is out of one's ability to control it - it can get very frustrating.

I hope things work out well with the schools.  Sometimes they are just slow - and it seems like they are intentionally trying to torture, but really, they are just slow at doing everything.

We thoroughly expected to be dealing with this at this time yesterday, given the risk of the surgery.  I even think Richard and I thought Monday morning was "it" when we were called over to be there for her heart fibrilation.  She went into the surgery with her fighting face on and, without the operation, would have suffered longer and more painfully, with probably the same outcome.

It's only in movies, on TV and in ads that Speedo bodies are seen in Speedos....seldom in "real life."

My best to DC Callie, too. Cilla, I used to have a cat named Callie, but I spelled it Caley. I recall one time when she was hospitalized. I missed her so much I went to visit and asked for a loan cat.

There are many many times when I think of this group as my "real" family.  TCB, I couldn't agree with you more.

I know what you mean Matt, When I got about three chapters from the end I started rereading the chapters  before moving on....and when  I was done I wnet back about 6 chapters and reread it all again.

Oh, it's going by even too quickly for me now. I just crossed iover page 500, and I wish I were just starting. It's just flying by with all the chases and narrow escapes. Zowie!

Happy New Year to all who celebrate.


My coworker who just celebrated her Bat Mitzvah in June (since she never did and wanted to before her daughter makes hers in 2 years time) brought in apples and honey... I looked up the appropriate prayer on Google (www.jewFAQ.org) and she read it to us (in Hebrew) and we all dipped our apple slices in honey and wished her a happy New Year.

In honor of the record THE CLOSER set on Monday night, I decided to watch some season 2 episodes. I watched three of them: the one with the death of the restaurant owner, the one with Brenda being a character witness for Chief Pope, and . . . .

the one she submitted for Emmy consideration - "Slippin"' about he drive-by shooting of three college age kids.

Well, DRs, I'm going to bed.  Even though I'll log off from my home computer, I have a feeling that I forgot to log off HHW on my work machine when I left abruptly this afternoon.

Goodnight and thanks for being here.

Next, I watched tonight's episode of BONES (the TV show, just in case DR TCB is confused). It was the season 2 finale episode setting us up for next week's season premiere.

And then I concluded my evening with the season finale of RESCUE ME. Oh my, Denis Leary is clearing the dockets. We already had one death in the regular cast earlier in the season, and tonight we had another.

TCB... very well said and very, very true.  

I find myself often thinking of each of you during the day, wondering how you are doing, and sending "mental vibes" and of course prayers, that things are going well for each and everyone of you



even for DerB, no matter how mean he is to me.

LOL!  That's pretty funny.   I miss Cal, but I know that she was in a lot of pain and that what they are doing is the only way she will get better.  I wanted to visit her and am glad I did, I just hope she doesn't start associating me with what she's going through.  

I don't need a loaner, I have Boo Boo Ann who is starting to sleep with me because it's getting cold at night.  I was looking for something feminine to add to her name and all of a sudden started singing Boo Boo Boo, Boo Boo Boo Ann. Boo Boo Boo, Boo Boo Boo Ann... oh Boo Boo Ann, take my hand....  so that's her name

Callie's song is Callie Sue to the tune of Peggy Sue.   Somehow she's become Callie Sue Marie, not quite sure where the Marie comes from.   The vet still calls her Miss Callie....that is so 2 years ago, lol

Good night everyone.  It's time for me to figure out which meds will be best for what has now become and aching runny nose and try to get some sleep.
