Here's the link to the "I'm Still Queer" video on YouTube, just uploaded last evening.

Hope you like it, and if you do, please pass the link around.

It's to the tune of the Stephen Sondheim classic "I'm Still Here," with a very special thanks to the wonderful William Parry for doing the vocal, and it's on YouTube by arrangement and with permission of the real song's publisher. (And thanks to Jose as always, and to DR Julie for her help along the way.)

Thanks if you have time to watch - it's a little over four minutes long,

My mom didn't ever pack us lunches for the twelve years in public school. We ate in the school cafeteria if we ate at all.

Like some previous posters, spaghetti was always my favorite meal at school. School cafeterias always served the best yeast rolls in the business, too. Those are my two favorite memories of eating school lunches.

My senior year, I didn't have a lunch period because I was taking an extra class (journalism) since I was serving as feature editor of the school newspaper, and we used that period for preparation of each issue. So the only food I had during the day back then was eating a pack of potato chips and having a Sprite from the vending machine which I would eat walking from the main campus building down the hill, across the practice football/track field, and into the vocational school where band class (my last class of the day) was located. No wonder I weighed about 100 pounds during my senior year.

Very enjoyable; some really good rhyming there, and some of the photos were priceless.

Topic of the day. Grade school in Arizona, Sloppy Joe's and potato chips. The best ever.
Still love the combination and make them at home quite often. (a healthier adult version)

Don't remember ever having anyone make lunch to take to school, I think in those days the cafeteria was really inexpensive.

Good morning. Must go to work and the fire.

TOD: My mom worked, soe she never packed launches. we always had the weekly lunch tickets that got punched at the cafeteria. By the time I was 12, I walked home for lunch every day, made my lunch, lunch for my mom and my three siblings who were still in diapers.

The first of September, Hooray, hooray!
Summer ends just two months from today! :- $:-\$

Well, the Blu-ray of EARTH just arrived, so I know I will definitely have a work project for today. The movie is only 90 minutes, and there are only a couple of bonus items, so it seems I will have the evening free to watch something fun tonight.

TOD: I always envied the kids who got things like Hostess cupcakes or twinkies with their lunches! Or even little boxes of raisins1

Matt H. · « **Reply #40 on:** September 01, 2009, 07:05:05 AM »

Speaking of raisins, I have recently rediscovered them, and I treat myself to a little box of them every day. I love them!

Matt H. · « **Reply #41 on:** September 01, 2009, 07:07:43 AM »

I guess I'm going to head downstairs now to tidy up some things down there. I may go ahead and watch another LIE TO ME episode before starting on lunch preparation.

I love Hostess cupcakes. At least I did the last time I had one, which was probably 20 years ago.

Try to remember a time in September.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #45 on:** September 01, 2009, 07:37:36 AM »

Prepared school lunches - the Friday fish square was great. I also liked hamburger and french fry day. For a time we could order ala carte, and I would skip the vegetables and dessert and get two sandwiches!

Laura · « **Reply #46 on:** September 01, 2009, 07:39:20 AM »

School lunches: I liked the canned spinach.

Good Morning, once again!

Greetings from Coolidge Auditorium at The Library of Congress!

The "band" started playing at 9:00, and I haven't stopped smiling yet!

DR Jane, speaking of bears, remember the little signs with the pictures of the bear on it (that i mentioned the other day). I don't know if this is true, but someone mentioned that maybe they were for the "bear trail" the "fox trail" and the "rabbit trail". I don't know if this is true, but wouldn't that be funny if they were scaring people for nothing!

DR ELMORE, you were asking about the Daytime Emmys.

I got to watch it last night. Ron Raines did not sing, but the whole cast of GUIDING LIGHT was there. There was a special tribute and they all went onstage.

Also, you asked if there was a lesbian storyline on the show. THere is between Olivia and Natalia. Although they have not really shown anything. They are more invested in the emotions, which is actually sort of an interesting storyline.

Jennifer · « **Reply #53 on:** September 01, 2009, 07:59:33 AM »

DR MattH, i'm wondering if you know of a site that has Fall Previews for the upcoming television season. Thanks in advance if you know of any.

It was very clever and very funny, Fred. But the "character" is an odd duck in my book. I've known a few "contraries" in my time, and he takes the cake!

I guess it depends on how wide one can open one's mouth.
