So, at least some of the aggravation from this morning has been alleviated by my most pleasant afternoon so far. And now I must take care of some cleaning, put some toys away (apparently, my niece and nephew came over over the weekend, and pulled every single toy out of their boxes here - of course, all those boxes are currently in the room I'm staying in... And all the toys are all over the floor of the room I'm staying in, so...), do a few loads of laundry... Oh, and there's that chart I've been meaning to finish since last week, so... And I actually may have to make one more trip back to post office this afternoon too. -At least they're open until 8:00pm.

Well...

So...

Laters...

Good Afternoon!

Post office - Done! DR vixmom - The vixter should be receiving something in the mail in about two to three days.

Thank you!! I shall keep silent and let her be suprised!

DR Ginny - I LOVE my chili with spaghetti, but not necessarily ON TOP of the spaghetti. I know that's the Cincinnati way to do it, but they always seem to have too much pasta and not enough of the good stuff. I just remember thinking chili day at school was the best. The chili was soupy (I'm now a fan of thick chili - stick to your ribs kind of chili) with spaghetti noodles and greasy grilled cheese sammiches. YUUUU-HUM!

Gosh, now I wish it'd get colder in Nueva York so I could make some chili for myself.

In the meantime, I'm listening to Sarah McLachlan and feelin' fine.

Did anybody tape or DVR last night's West Wing? I completely forgot about it. I can't get my brain to remember its on Sunday instead of ~~Thursday~~ Wednesday this year!

I would be very grateful for a copy of last night's debate if anyone would care to send it to me

When I was at the theater last night, a fellow usher, Mary, lamented that she forgot to set her VCR to tape last night's "West Wing." I said that I could call my parents and ask my dad to tape it because he watches the show. I called and my mom answered and she said that she would tell my dad to tape it. I just called and my dad DID tape it, so I can get the tape from my parents and make a copy...if no one else has responded already. Sadly, neither I nor my parents have a DVR, so it'll be a VHS tape. Also, a woman that I work with sent out an e-mail today asking if anyone had taped it, so she wants a copy, as well!

But I'm curious. I had read that they did it twice like "Will and Grace," once for the east coast and once for the west. Did anyone on the east coast tape it? Want to compare??

I guess no one else watched it either!

JMK · « **Reply #159 on:** November 07, 2005, 11:52:48 AM »

Yes, I'm curious if Smits was as tongue-tied for the east coast version as the west coast. I was thinking maybe it was fatigue. The difference in stage experience between Alda and Smits was pretty apparent, IMHO.

If anyone is planning on buying THE PRODUCERS movie soundtrack, and you pre-order it on Amazon, you can listen to it now through their digital locker. The audio isn't CD quality, but it will do until the actual CD arrives.

All that promotion CBS did this past month has certainly gone to waste on us HHW'ers. We are a hype-proof bunch.

Okay, how about this one: did anyone watch the Broadway on Evening At Pops special on PBS? It was a very entertaining hour with clips of a lot of B'way performers in a more relaxed mode and having a good time. I could kick myself for not recording it--I don't see any upcoming repeats on any of the PBS channels in my area.

Everyone's favorite kewpie doll, Bernadette Peters, was the show's host. I usually don't like to comment on a person's looks, but, man--she was botoxed to the max! She couldn't have done her patented pouty face if she tried. Why don't people age gracefully anymore?

Why does it have to be cold to have chili?

I have never tried it on/with spaghetti. That sounds interesting!

I moved to Salem in January of 1984. I had been working at Bi-Mart in Ashland, Oregon part-time while also working at the Marc Antony Hotel part-time. Both jobs ended so I decided to move to Salem, where my sister and her family lived, as a new Bi-Mart was opening in that area. I got the job and settled in Oregon's capital where I have ~~been stuck~~ remained ever since.

Did you by chance tape the west coast version dear reader JMK?

CAUTION: OFF-COLOR HUMOR AHEAD

The man stuck to the toilet seat reminds me of one of my Mom's favorite jokes. It's a long joke, but the crux of it is that a husband had painted the toilet seat, the wife got stuck on it, and the husband unscrews the toilet seat, and the wife lies down on the bed, the doctor comes to give an opinion, and says "It's really beautiful, but why did you have to frame it?"

My Mom can drag that joke out into a five-minute performance. That line "It's really beautiful, but why did you have to frame it?" has become a catchphrase in my family, applied mostly to photos on walls and such. Just wanted to share.

My Mom's sense of humor is one of the things that got me to move from Brooklyn to Manhattan.

Speaking of last night's WEST WING. I happened to notice at the end they asked people to vote on who they thought won the debate. From what I saw it seemed like Smitts (even though he did get a bit tongue-tied). I just checked on nbc.com and they had Smitts winning 70%-30% over Alan Alda.

Well, it may not be entirely so - (and it may be an urban legend) - but I was told that a dentist who lived in my area many years ago was having trouble with his septic tank system.

It frustrated him so much, that finally one day he dropped an explosive charge into the tank. At that same moment, inside the house, his wife seated herself upon the convenience.

At the moment of detonation, all contents of the septic tank were blown INTO the house through said convenience, sending said contents and said wife flying into to air of the bathroom. Said wife divorced said dentist.
