Can we talk about Soap Operas?  I've been wanting to hear about soap operas all day.  

When I was in 3rd grade, my sister and I got hooked on Dark Shadows, and consequently, on General Hospital.  This was back in the days when it was about Dr. Hardy and Jessie Brewer and Audrey and Lee and Phil.  Jessie Brewer was always falsly accused of murdering someone and put on trials and always found guilty (of course, she was always freed at the last minute when the real murderer was revealed.)  

For all the strum and drang she went through, you would think that Jessie would have more to do in her later years on the show than being consigned to wearing sweaters and standing behind the nurses desk.

I have been busy printing, stapling, folding, labeling, counting, and sorting newsletters today.  Tomorrow I get to sit in the post office to mail them. Isn't that an exciting report?

Well, it's taken me a while, but I've caught up on the last few days of HHW posts.  A few things to be said...

Good job vibes to those who need them

A BIG, if belated, happy birthday to the wonderfully wonderful TCB.  

The pics of the Portland gathering were simply faboo.  So sorry that TCB, Jed, and myself were unable to attend.  I do think there should be another gathering...maybe we could all get together and see TCB in Ten Little Indians next month :D

Jane - I have actually been seriously considering getting sugar gliders as pets for myself.  I'm a bit lonely in this apartment all by myself.  Would you mind if I wrote and asked a few questions about them??

Well I'm back from a short shopping trip. Short short short. I need to shorten (what's new) two new pairs of trousers - to pay for it to be done would be would be the same cost as one pair of trousers! Another day of missing the skills of my Mother. You needed to know all that  - All those multiple fittings lengths etc  available these days never seem to help me much.

Is this a holiday or something I don't know about?  I'm simply agog, oh, yes, I'm simply agog.  I am, at this moment, getting out the bitch-slap machine.

Lest anyone have an image of me hand sewing hems by candlelight, be assure I am using iron on hemming tape.  A tailor I am not. I don't even tinker with tailoring.

And of course he drives a gogomobile.  Would you be agog if you were watching someone going to a "go-go" in a gogomobile.

I am about to go to the Post Office to post greetings to my "birth" mother who will be 80 on Saturday. My "birth" father was 98 a couple of weeks ago. I am wearing excellent genes - (they don't need shortening!)

I never learned to sew a hem. And I don't think I shall ever bother. My mother used to sew hems for me, as well, Tom. I guess that's a mother thing. On the other hand, I'm a mother and I can't sew hems. Have I wasted enough posting space?

It is a good feeling DR Panni. Stress is not my "thing". Of course neither is sewing nor knitting. I know a few men who can knit.  Maybe RLP has bones that have knitted.

Good Evening!

Sorry to have been errant and truant for the past few hours, but DR Jay and I attended tonight's performance of Intimate Apparel at the Mark Taper Forum.  Good play.  Great performances.  And it turned out there was a post-show discussion which we ended up staying for.  All in all, a very nice evening - which started off with a nice dinner at Philippe, The Original.  :)

It was my first trip to the Music Center complex too.

-And I better hit Post before I get locked out of "today"....
