We actually did that at school when I was younger. It was a big to-do on the High School lawn that took half of a Saturday. The girls parents went broke buying fancy dresses and the guys bitched about the recess time lost to rehearsals. The streamers were multi-colored so at the end we had a "gaily colored pole".

...and you don't appear to have been IRREPARABLY damaged in the process...  

Hi all!  Tra La--It's MAY!

Lovely photos, DRL!

DR Elmore, I'll bite that guy on the ankle if he says anything against you!  Just let me at him!

Elmore, give 'em heck!

Not much to tell.  We were up most of the night because something they gave Mom didn't agree with her tummy.  So I didn't go to work.

I had a little drama myself.  I didn't feel right last night and worse this morning.  Kinda sick to my stomach as well but worse that funny pain I sometimes get in my chest and down my left arm and in the palm of my hand.  The nurse took my BP but it was fine.  It's stress.  I know.  They gave me some OJ and I laid down for a little bit then I felt a bit better.  

Don't worry--I'm fine.  I promise.

I just worry about what's going to happen with Mom.  As this goes on they are talking about sending her home again.  I wish they would make up their minds one way or the other.  But if she goes home, I know she won't have the kind of care she gets here.  You know we don't have AC or heat and that worries me.  I worry about her being alone.  I worry about if someone comes to the door will she fall trying to get to it if they send a nurse and I'm at work?

I know a hospital bed won't even fit in our living room.  I don't even think they could get it in the front door.  We almost could't get the new fridge in the front door--they had to take the door off.

It's just a worry if they keep her and another if they let her go.  

So I'm a little stressed but not to worryl    I'll handle it.

Other then both myself and my father being born in May, I have no real memories of this month.

For whatever reason, I keep losing my connection to the net.  Ugh.

Boy, do I feel bad posting that after Danise.

I hope this May improves.

At least Keith's mother went home yesterday.

You and me both.  But I'm glad Keith's Mother got to go home.

Vibes for Keith's Mom!

Me, too!

Probably interference from the pit at A CHORUS LINE.  

I just had a very pleasant customer service experience with Amazon!

I had ordered the BBC [non-musical] version of Sweeney Todd.  It has been in the USPS system as "in transit" since April 11th.  No further delivery information available; apparently they like it in New Jersey and plan to keep it there indefinitely.

So I clicked on a link at the Amazon site.  Instantly, I got a call from Amazon and was immediately connected to a rep [who already had my account up on their screen] who reviewed the situation and is shipping me a replacement copy today.

As much as we gripe about customer service these days, it's important to note the success stories, too!

It's funny that you consider that a success.  While they did rectify your problem as soon as you called, APRIL 11TH was 3 WEEKS AGO.  That is completely unacceptable! (although i would have called the day after the item was scheduled to be delivered).

...to misquote reviewers by taking a positive word or phrase from a theater review if it gives a misleading sense of the whole review...

Inasmuch as many reviews are "mixed", they'll need a fulltime commission just to categorize reviews!

Have caught up.

Who else is up for a chorus of "Me-me-me-me-me--me-me-e-e-e-e-e"?

Those of us of the "Me-me-me-me-me--me-me-e-e-e-e-e" persuasion do NOT do chorus!
