The best condiment is chocolate. It goes with anything. It tastes great, and the bonus is the faces my mom makes when she watches me eat fettucine alfredo with a Hershey bar.
Heinz 57 is the only ketchup for me! ;D
Same here, DR Danise. Three or four of my classmates in the sixth grade ended up in high school classes because we were in the college prep classes; everyone else from sixth grade went their separate ways in high school.
After high school, no one went to the same college I went to, so that ended our association then, ad I've never seen them since.
Good morning DRs Elmore and Ben.
Hi, elmore - Late lunch at Barrymore's 3 (count 'em, 3) weeks from today? Not that I'm counting or anything...
Well, actually, I was thinking about dinner at Barrymore's with you, Danise, Cillaliz, MBarnum, and any locals who feeli like coming along, say, around 6:00 pm?
The interesting thing about support is that they never respond - they do fix the problem but they never write back and say "Sorry there was a problem" or explain what went on, or even just say, "fixed".
DR ELMORE look at the index!
Not a word.
DRGEORGE posted one of my favorite songs!!! It must be seen in the film JUST FOR YOU with Bing and Jane to be fully appreciated.... I love that song! In fact DRGEORGE sent me a CD single of it! :)
DR Vixmom, if you are ever waiting for someone at the Stage Door again, you can usually just ask someone inside the door to let you know if the star will be coming out. They usually check, as often they have snuck out another exit or are greeting guests in their dressing room.
How did the FIDDLER ON THE ROOF auditions go? Did Tevye walk in?
We may never know since Dear Reader Stuart deserted us.
Have we ever discovered what caused him to leave? I miss his smiling face.
Hugh Panaro tends to sneak out the front of the theatre to avoid some of the more avid Phan-atics. I believe DR Jose even had a story about running into Hugh one day on 44th street as he was trying to avoid a Phantom Phreak. Some of them tend to go a little overboard which, unfortunately, ruins it for the normal folk who just want to meet and greet.Its really too bad. This day there were just the Vixter, her dad and me, a teenage girl with her dad and a young couple in their early twenties.
I'm one of the few in the northeast who slops on the Miracle Whip. It's a southern thing, I guess. I like it best when the Whip is really cold and you put it on a hot fried egg sandwich. Yuuuu-umm!Whipped cream on a fried egg sandwich? I have never heard of this, buit if its full of fat, cholesterol and calories how bad could it be? :D
Alfredo sauce is a particular favorite, and I must have tartar sauce on my fish if it's fried. I'm also a big fan of gravies. Any sort of gravy. It's dee-lish.
I had a follow-up appointment with my sleep doctor today. He gave me two big thumbs up, told me my recent week of depression most likely was a result of my body "dreaming" too much too quickly and said I would be fine. I don't have to go back for another follow-up for one year. Woohoo!
It's my belief it was a misread attempt at humor from another DR, but I will say no more.Oh, I hope he will reconsider.
Right now I'm fuming over a call from a Chicago DARLING OF THE DAY rehearsal concerning a song that was "adapted" from the Jule Styne manuscript for the Mufti performances. It was my understanding the ms should be used (I personally hate the revisical theory of "The composer's dead, let's rewrite him") as it is on the original demo. I was just told what they had didn't match the demo! And what can I do about it from this distance?How frustrating for you. What do they expect you to do?
It was said by two HHWers (actually Ginny and Larry):

Count me in! I'll put it on the calendar and try to persuade Mr. Morelli to join us.
She did that, she asked everybody who came out and they all said. "I don't know if he's coming out, he's still in there now". After nearly an hour we persuaded her that he was probably taking a nap between shows and we should move on.
No, I meant you should ask the guy who sits inside the Stage Door to check for you. If they know a fan is waiting for a particular actor, they will go inside and check for you.
Well, I've had two phone calls in a row forcing me to leave my desk; both are prerecorded messages, "Vote for me in tomorrow's primary." Christ! The tv and radio ads are more than enough. Why isn't this against the law?

Me too!Excellent news!!! BTW will I be meeting you on the 5th of October?

This particular stage door is down a looooong alleyway with signs posted all over saying "RESTRICTED AREA AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY"
Vixdad did suggest walking down and knocking on the door but our good law-abiding daughter pointed out the signs and said "NO! NO! We might get sued!!!"
Elmore, I mentioned this ages ago, but I have the demo. Do you know anything about it? Even Mandelbaum was clueless. It's an amazingly "big" recording for a demo, full orchestra, good singers. Which cut number are you talking about?
Goodness! I don't think I've been quoted that much in my entire life! :);D ;D Here I go again!!
I forgot that you saw the matinee. It is quite possible he was staying in for a nap between shows. The makeup he wears takes nearly 2 hours to put on and 45 minutes to take off. I'm sure he was hiding out in his dressing room. Who could blame him?!I never thought of that, more fool me!! Of course he wouldn't want to bother with takingit off and putting it on again!!
Now, not to disappoint, but - it's not whipped cream on a fried egg sandwich. It's Miracle Whip on a fried egg sandwich. Miracle Whip - the salad dressing with zing!well that sounds more reasonable... and good! I shall have try that... I fear my cholesteol levels may be dangerously low!!!
I will be joining the group for the October 5 frolick. I wouldn't miss it for the world! I've already been approved to have the day off. And I can't wait to meet the Vixter - she sounds like a neat kid! ;DThank you. I like her. :D I am so glad you will be there, however, how WILL we recognize you?! :D
I know what Jason looks like, but that doesn't help you now does it? ;)
Well, now that I've started this new Pilates program, not even DR Jose himself will recognize me! I'm going to be svelt and gorgeous, as opposed to just being gorgeous. ;)
OK, half-heimers alert department: I've been listening to Dirty Rotten Scoundrels this morning. And David Yazbek's surname is ringing a bell with me (I know about his other scores, it's not that). Wasn't there another musician, maybe a folkie, with that surname?
"Vote for me in tomorrow's primary." Christ!
Impressive candidate, I gotta say.

I had plantar fascitis once. I was fortunate enough to respond to an anti-inflamatory.
Vixmom -- next time you might try writing a short letter in advance to the actor, explaining how your young daughter loves the show and ask if she can have the opportunity to meet the actor and have him sign her playbill.
I'm just barely here....major summer cold symptoms...sore throat, pounding sinuses, and a sick-at-my-stomach feeling.
Just wanted to share that with you all, letting you know what kind of weekend I've had.
I always think of these things on the way to the theatre! However, Jason's explanation about the length of time oit takes to remove and apply the makeup makes a lot of sense.
Perhaps the next show we go to I will think ahead enough to send such a letter. A well, she did meet "Christine"
Impressive candidate, I gotta say.
I'm not sure I'd vote for him, however. They'll crucify him.
And that's a rhetorical question.dang! And I was just working up a list ;D
With this much makeup, one could understand why any Phantom would want to stay in between shows....
Beautiful day here in Mooresville Indiana USA.
I think if you send a letter to many theatre performers (include a self addressed stamped envelope), they will send you an autographed photo.
All this talk of sauces led me to order an Au Poivre burger from Island Burger. Question is...WHERE IS IT?
I just got a lovely email from Miss Susan Egan. I love her! I've been playing her "coffee House" recording a lot.
The talk of sauces led me to request ranch dressing on my turkey breast shorti-hogie at WaWa for lunch, instead of my customary mayo and mustard. I can't say that it really made enough of an impression to do that kind of thing again.
Whipped cream on a fried egg sandwich? I have never heard of this, buit if its full of fat, cholesterol and calories how bad could it be? :D.
Does the "DO NOT CALL " registry cover campaign calls?
Probably not, it would be just like those sneaky politicians to exempt themselves....
They took DR Sandra back to meet her phantom while they were taking off the makeup.
Oh....whew! I thought that was a picture of Melanie Griffith!
No way! The unmasked Phantom looks a lot better than Melanie Griffith. :o
LOL.... I have no response to that! ;D
Oh....whew! I thought that was a picture of Melanie Griffith!
I tuned in about 15 minutes late to DAYS OF OUR LIVES (I was out to lunch with friends), and there was a wedding going on, so I'm thinking maybe Kevin's song came before the ceremony.
I will either watch or record the rerun tonight on SoapNet (7 p.m.), and that way I can speed through it to just his part of the episode.

I came home to no electricity. It finally came on at 2:10. They're now saying the reason was because a wire may have been cut by a DWP person (a mistake), but I don't believe anything these fools say.
Do their writers ever show any signs of being attached to what's really going on in the world?
Miracle Whip is not whipped cream but rather a whipped mayonaise substitute. It IS a southern tradition, and there are fewer things more wonderful in life than this.
EVIL UNDER THE SUN...is Nicholas Clay in that movie?
Good heavens, no! It wouldn't be a soap opera if they did!
Days of Our Lives is the only one I've ever watched at all, and agree it's horrendously silly. My mother used to watch it when I was a sprig of a twig of a lad, and I now check in for a couple days every few years, after which I find I'm completely caught up on everything that's happened, as it seems an average soap opera day lasts about 3 months in our time. :D (Also some characters who are now older than me, yet I remember them being born... hmmm...)
Good morning, my Australian friend.I'm still catching up!!

Does the "DO NOT CALL " registry cover campaign calls?
Probably not, it would be just like those sneaky politicians to exempt themselves....
I'm not sure many solicitors are paying attention to the registry any more. I suspect they haven't been taken to court yet. For awhile I was getting no calls, but in the last month or two, I've gotten quite a few, and when I challenge them and remind them about the registry, they always apologize and say they must have an old list or that my name didn't appear on it - all lies, of course.
And my registry registration doesn't expire until 2008 so that's not the problem.
Regarding Anthony's ankle, I haven't been keeping you up to date.
It's not his ankle, it's a problem called Plantar Fasciitis which has to do with tendons and muscles being stretched. I won't go into details. It is getting better. He began physical therapy today and will be going twice a week for about a month. The ailment is common among dancers and aerobics instructors and other people who are on their feet a lot,
DR Ron,
Do you think Janelle has a chance if she makes it to the final 2?
Is there a more misguided group than Clowns for Christ?
Against Maggie, Janelle will have the votes of April, Rachel, Howie and James, for sure. She will need only four votes.
Once April goes to sequester and talks to Jennifer and James, I think Janell will have those votes against Ivette, as well.
Ivette's only true chance at the money is if she goes to the final two with April. Then she will have Beau, James, Maggie, Rachel and Howie (both of whom cannot stand April...and won't know of her change of heart if she doesn't go to sequester. I know Maggie won't tell about it).
Ivette, though, won't play it correctly. She'll evict April and her shot at the $500K is kaput.
The dangers of prayer.Oh, that is how I got Plantar Knees
I see that Angela Lansbury lost her 17th Emmy bid, this time to Amanda Plummer last night. The Technical and Craft Emmys are given a week before the other ones, and the Guest Star Emmy categories are given then, too.
Poor Angela! And I really thought this was going to be her year!
Oh, that is how I got Plantar Knees
No DRVIXMOM, we have performances this week Wed-Fri. And I am hoping SOMEONE is reading his script today. We even have a pickup rehearsal tomorrow evening, so we will know for sure.
My guess is he thinks he's doing fine.....he got through it. But MAYBE it has dawned on him that he is letting us ALL down....and the audience DOES know he doesn't know his lines.
I agree about soaps, and I watch a soap - ONE LIFE TO LIVE! But I spend far more time every day rolling my eyes and talking back to the screen than actually enjoying the show.
You're right - I guess they're trying to please some demographic that the advertisers have identified as their core audience,
Oh my gosh! The Emmy's were last night?! Only one week into school and already I am out of touch!!

Anyone read any reviews on the 4 disc edition of Ben-Hur that is being released tomorrow?
Disc 1 & 2 The 1959 remake
Disc 3 The Original Film
Disc 4 New Documentrary, Old one done for the video release, various screen test etc
...I had this really long sentence going once in a paper about Heart of Darkness and I kept it up just to see how long I could get it. It ended up being 150-plus words. I was so proud.Clearly, she was writing about chocolate.
Does Sandra Bullock have a part in that too?
JMK - I have it, I just assumed you were correct, as always.
Merciful heavens! Somebody please rescue this poor woman (http://www.planetdan.net/pics/misc/tetka.html)!
