And LEGS!!!

[Jane]

Danise that would have been my 1st MRI at the NIH.  Penny went with me then.  I was very nervous and it turned out to be rather unpleasant experience.  What a difference from then to my last MIR with the new equipment and a reduction of 20 minutes to complete the test.

[Jane]

Joy, good for you!  Good vibes getting keeping on track through the holidays.

[Danise]

DR Jane, I'm sorry that it was an unpleasant experience.  For me, the hardest part was keeping my hands over my head.  I think I had an IV of some type.  Can't remember now.

Hi all!  Remember me?

It seems I picked a good day to return with deep apologies for being E & T.  

Many, Many, Many (that’s 3 manys!) Congrats to Bruce, Mr. Haines and the site!

I’m not 100% sure when I started posting.  I know it was around the time Juliana’s journal was being posted about on another board.  There was reference to another site so I believe I Googled something and somehow came up with the HHW.  I remember it was the old version of the site.

I also remember that I lurked for a good long time but liked what I read.  There just didn’t seem to be the fighting and flaming that goes on so many boards both then and now.  Then, one night someone was talking about Errol Flynn films.  Since Errol Flynn is a particular favorite of mine and I had never seen him discussed anywhere else, I decided to join the group.  I received a very warm welcome.  

I also seem to remember DR Jane (I think it was Jane) was going in for a Cat scan and was a little concerned about it.  I had just had one the week before and I wanted to tell her that it wasn’t that bad.

DR Elmore was the first person I met, live and in person, from the HHW board.  He made my first trip to NY.  I can honestly say that if it wasn’t for him, I may never have gone back.  

When the gathering in March of this year came up, I was a wee bit hesitate but oh, was I glad that I went!   When the “Girls Night Out with The Guys” for October came up, I knew I was there!

I’ve met some truly wonderful people and hope that I will be able to meet more of you next year!  

 

DRDanise is back!  Hooray!

[Danise]

Jane-
15 pounds, as of Tuesday.  

So that's where my extra weight came from.  I knew someone was responsible for my finding it.  

[Danise]

DRDanise is back!  Hooray!

Awww.  Sucks folks.  I'm speechless.  

And I can spell real good too!

[Jrand73]

He DR DANISE!

The celebrating continues!

Thanks for the link to the FIRST column, DR GEORGE.

[Jrand73]

7 FACES OF DR LAO is on TCM in about one hour.  Since I have never seen it all the way through, I am going to try it again.

That's a LOT of Tony Randall, though!

[Jane]

DR Jane, I'm sorry that it was an unpleasant experience.  For me, the hardest part was keeping my hands over my head.  I think I had an IV of some type.  Can't remember now.

That was hard and 45 minutes of no one talking to me, not even a time update.

[Danise]

He DR DANISE!

The celebrating continues!

Thanks for the link to the FIRST column, DR GEORGE.

Hey yourself, DR Jrand!

I would also like to thank DR GEORGE.  It was an interesting read.

I won't see LOST until tomorow night but I'm looking forward to it!

[Joy]

Okay, all you film buffs, I need some recommendations!  I just joined NetFlix (3-month gift subscription) and I looked at my video rental list, and nothing on there really appeals to me anymore.  I KNOW there are people here who have some wonderful ideas for me.  Here is a breakdown of some films and genres that I've enjoyed in the past:

Love the whole LOTR trilogy.
Love Star Wars, the originals, but not I and II.  III was okay.
Love Drop Dead Gorgeous
Love Mary Poppins, Lady & the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty, Robin Hood, and Sword in the Stone; but not Snow White or Cinderella
Love Friday and 8 Mile but not Barbershop
Love Half-Baked but not...uh... I forgot the name of that other one  
Love all things Muppet and have seen all the movies
HATED English Patient
Loved Big Night, Les Choristes, didn't like Run Lola Run
Can't handle anything along the lines of Saw, Hotel Rwanda
Hate all things Jane Austen (sorry!)
Disliked Momentum
LOVED Secretary

Love un-PC humor, quirky stories; hate Andie MacDowell; love James Spader

There are probably several must-see Broadway-type films that I haven't seen, e.g. All That Jazz.  

So I hope that's enough info to fashion some recommendations.  I'll add more if I think of anything useful.

Thanks!

I can't rightly remember what year I started posting on this site..I think 2000 maybe.

Impressive when the site didn't start until 2001!    You joined in sometime in the first month or so of 2002.

As for myself, I started reading the notes and posts just a week or two into the site's existance, and made my first post probably early December or so.  I'd been a regular Real A reader, then stumbled across BK's unmistakable writing style at some other website of some sort.  After he vanished from there, I stumbled across a mention (at sondheim.com, I believe) of this here new site and I've been here ever since.  Never thought I'd be a part of any sort of internet community, but, as we all know, this is totally unlike any other internet community.  I've gotten to meet a handful of other DRs and greatly look forward to meeting many more!  Heck, I've even found my long lost cyberfather who has been beyond wonderful in easing my way into the theatre scene in Tacoma.

Congrats to BK and all my fellow Dear Readers!  Here's to many more years of cheese slices and ham chunks!

[TCB]

[size=8]HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, BK![/size]

(AND THANK YOU)

[Joy]

DR Danise, you can just pass it along to someone else!  

[Jane]

Joy what about a classic, and our favorite movie, CASABLANCA?

I’m trying to get into my NetFlix queue for some suggestions.

[Jed]

Hey Dad, any word on when your MTV debut will finally be airing?

[Jane]

Joy if you search a movie you liked or didn’t like and click on that movie, NetFlix will also give you a suggested movie list.  I’m not sure how helpful the list is, but you might get some ideas.

Good Evening!

Back from rehearsal, and all is well.  Well, all is better.

As I sort of alluded to earlier today, when I went to check my post office box this morning, there was no mail in there for me to pick up.  No check.  Again.  So...

A few phone calls.  A few e-mails.  A few more phone calls.  Well...

I had to head back to post office to drop off an Express Mail package, and went ahead and checked my post office box again just in case there was a late "delivery".  Well, imagine my surprise when I opened my box and there happened to be an envelope in there.  The check!  The check I've been waiting for for at least seven weeks at this point!  And here's where it gets "interesting"...

The person I've been dealing with at this company - which will remain unnamed - swore to me that the check was (re-)cut last Friday and mailed out last Friday.  November 4.  *Of course, the original check was supposedly sent out four weeks ago, but got lost in the mail...  And this replacement check was supposed to be cut and mailed last Wednesday... Well...  When I opened the envelope, I noticed that it was postmarked this past Monday, November 7.  -And it was done on one of those in office postage meters.  Hmm...  And then when I looked at the check, it was dated this past Monday, November 7.  -Last Friday, huh?!?!?!

So... Another phone call.  This time I got her voicemail.  Which was OK.  I kindly informed her that I did indeed receive the check today... And that the both the check and postmark were from this past Monday.  Thank you very much.

Something tells me I won't be receiving a return phone call after leaving that message.

[JoseSPiano]

And then it was off to rehearsal, which went very well.  And the production meeting was relatively painless too.

And on the way back from rehearsal I made a Trader Joe's run just to up a few things.  Of course, the "few things" ended up being three very-full bags worth of stuff.  And when the clerk gave me my total, I had a bit of sticker shock - I had managed to put just under $100.00 worth of stuff into my cart.  -Actually, it was exactly $99.00 before tax - and, thankfully, the tax was just another $3.00 and change.

...But at least I have groceries and other supplies for the next couple of weeks.

[Jane]

Jose, I hope you don't have to deal with that woman again-good news on the check.

[Danise]

Glad you got your check, DR Jose.

Ten bells.  That's late for me!  Have a good evening all!

[JoseSPiano]

Jose, I hope you don't have to deal with that woman again-good news on the check.

Well... I hope not, but there's always a chance I might have to since "they" provide work for me from time to time.  So...  However, I now have some leverage when it comes to dealing with them the next time.  If there is a next time.

[JoseSPiano]

Just finished watching "Lost".

WOW!

And just wait until you see the scenes for next week's episode!

WOW!

[Jennifer]

Re: tonight's LOST (no spoilers).

Really good ending!

[JoseSPiano]

DR Ben - It's a small world after all!  The Christopher Bloch in my Damn Yankees cast is indeed the same Christopher Bloch you worked with all those years ago!  He remembers you fondly.  So... Any chance that you and Ant could make it down for the run of Damn Yankees?  -And he'll also be in Shenandoah at Ford's too in the spring.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!

I discovered HHW last winter. I remember the evening quite well. I was sitting at my dining room table making calendars from family photos for Christmas presents and listening to LOST IN BOSTON IV when there was a long pause after Rupert Singing "Hots Michael At the Piano" and then I heard someone singing "I Love Fish"  I got up and picked up the CD and thought - "What on earth??? Is that on the CD or have aliens taken over my stereo?"

So I emailed Rupert and asked him about it.  He told me about his friend Bruce Kimmel and what an Easter Egg is etc.  I figured Bruce must have a great sense of humor and I got curious to find out more about him, so I googled and came up with the HHW site.  I didn't lurk for long before I dove right in and have been here ever since. I felt so welcomed from the first time I posted.

I feel very lucky to have made some wonderful friends here.  I haven't even been on the board a year and have been to get togethers in both Portland and NYC.  I really like everyone I've met and I can't believe that there is another site on the net with such kind, interesting, talented and fun people.  Thanks for being here and letting me be a part of the family

[JoseSPiano]

DR Jrand - Damn Yankees will not be updated.  It will be set squarely in the 1950's - 1955 to be exact.

...And I have to say, I love the clothes from that period.  The costume designer is having a wonderful time designing the show.  -Hopefully, the costume shop will have a "wonderful" time building all those costumes.  A cast of 30 with each cast member having at least 3 costumes.  That's a lot of fabric!

[JoseSPiano]

DR elmore - Apology accepted.
