Did anyone else watch the season finale to ER?


I had thought this was to be the last year but I certainly hope they aren't  planning on leaving us like that!!



Another show I'm totally over!  Why anyone would want to go to that ER where major trauma from falling copters to shoot-em-ups happen regularly, not to mention the daily angst among a lot of unhappy people, is amazing.

There have to be safer hospitals in Chicago.

Another show I disliked intensely.  Lansbury was so fantastic on stage and so coy in that series.

For those with long enough memories - This time last year I was in hospital.  For a few reasons my view of the world and indeed of life and death have changed somewhat since then. HHW has had a positive effect with its links to so much goodness in this world. Many of us have been helped through some rough times in the knowledge that our friends are there for us.

Thank you Bk for making it all possible.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - there is nothing like this site anywhere on all the Internet and I am proud to be its daddy.

Ron - My point being that, just like the ER emergency room, being around Jessica Fletcher made a person (fictional or otherwise) about 1,000,000 times more likely to get killed or accused of killing someone.

(I do agree with Elmore about Lansbury on that TV show vs. Lansbury on the stage, but that's a different point.)

Ohhhhhhhhh....now I'm starting to wake up.  I wasn't quite there.  

Thanks for the push.

Many of us have never have had an opportunity to see Lansbury on stage.  "Murder, She Wrote" (plus a few mostly forgettable movies) are the only means we had of enjoying her.

But I take your word for it...I'm certain her stage appearances beat the socks off her TV work.

Actually, I feel a bit like Jennifer described herself last night after a half dose of her pain killer.

My eyes are heavy (allergies, I think) and I'm not as alert as I'd like to be (it's Friday and it's payday, so....).

At any rate...time for some CAFFEINE!

my so-called media check

iPod:  Dire Straits -- BROTHERS IN ARMS -- one of the absolute best albums of the 80s
          Mae West -- WAY OUT WEST -- this is her 60's rock effort--she doesn't sound too bad, either (well, not Mrs Miller bad, anyway...)

Tivo:  OLD CHRISTINE and that's about it.

DVD:  THAT GIRL Season One
          THE PRODUCERS (at least to see the "King of Broadway" number)
          A double feature DVD containing THE OVER THE HILL GANG and THE OVER THE HILL GANG RIDES AGAIN, two favorites from ABC's Movie of the Week.

And she's so good in these films:
DORIAN GRAY
GASLIGHT
THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE
THE WORLD OF HENRY ORIENT

Any other excellent film performances?

DR RonPulliam, I sympathize completely:  the allergies on the East coast appear to be as terrible as those you're going through on the West one.

DR Vixmom is currently getting the storm that we had here in Philly this morning.  The rain and the lightning and thunder were incredible.  Every time it storms like that, I think of Stephen King's "The Mists".

Two years ago, she did a Hallmark Hall of Fame called THE BLACKWATER LIGHTSHIP.  She was wonderful in it.

She was a lot of fun in MURDER ON THE NILE and very touching in DEAR HEART.

And here's something to track down--she did a guest appearance in an episode of THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. (I don't recall that one, even though we watched MRU every week.)

Yes, actually, she IS....but apart from the mostly fun (arguable, I know)  "Bedknobs and Broomsticks", Hollywood simply didn't give her great roles after she became a Broadway superstar.

It's so true.  Although after "Anyone Can Whistle," I suspect she thought her Broadway career was over as well.  I would kill to have seen her and Bert Lahr on Broadway in HOTEL PARADISO, which is one of my favorite Feydeau farces.

The storm is over nearly as fast as it came.... it was miserable and rainy when I came to work then suddenly it was bright and beautiful and then the lightening storm came and now it looks like it want to clear up again.....

I feel like I'm in Florida in July (except for the lack of heat!)

My neck felt quite a bit better when i woke up. But that stopped after i got in the car and started driving. Wow, that sure aggravated things.

I ended up not taking the other half a pill last night, since i knew it would make me woozy all day today.

My sister called before to say that my little niece has done something pretty funny.  My sister went to her playpen and found the baby holding her pants in her hands. This is the second day in a row she has mastered this feat!

Some fun observations you each may agree or disagree with:

1. When I die, I want to die like my grandfather -- who died peacefully in his sleep.  Not screaming like all the passengers in his car."

-Author Unknown

2. Advice for the day: If you have a lot of tension and you get a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle:  "Take two aspirin" and "Keep away from children."

-Author Unknown

3. "Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so?  There's a support group for that.  It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar."

-Drew Carey

4. "The problem with the designated driver program is that it's not a desirable job.  But if you ever get sucked into doing it, have fun with it.  At the end of the night, drop them off at the wrong house."

-Jeff Foxworthy

5. "If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there is a man on base."

-Dave Barry

6. "Relationships are hard. It's like a full time job, and we should treat it like one.  If your boyfriend or girlfriend wants to leave you, they should give you two weeks' notice.

There should be severance pay, the day before they leave you, they should have to find you a temp."

-Bob Ettinger

7. "My Mom said she learned how to swim when someone took her out in the lake and threw her off the boat.  I said, 'Mom, they weren't trying to teach you how to swim.'"

-Paula Poundstone

8. "A study in the Washington Post says that women have better verbal skills than men.  I just want to say to the authors of that study: "Duh."

-Conan O'Brien

9. "Why does Sea World have a seafood restaurant??  I'm halfway through my fish burger and I realize, Oh my God....I could be eating a slow learner."

-Lynda Montgomery

10. "I think that's how Chicago got started.  Bunch of people in New York said, 'Gee, I'm enjoying the crime and the poverty, but it just isn't cold enough. Let's go west.'"

-Richard Jeni

11. "If life were fair, Elvis would be alive and all the impersonators would be dead."

-Johnny Carson

12. "Sometimes I think war is God's way of teaching us geography."

-Paul Rodriguez

13. "My parents didn't want to move to Florida, but they tturned sixty and that's the law."

-Jerry Seinfeld

14. "Remember in elementary school, you were told that in case of fire you have to line up quietly in a single file line from smallest to tallest.   What is the logic in that? What?  Do tall people burn slower?"

-Warren Hutcherson

15. "Bigamy is having one wife/husband too many. Monogamy is the same."

-Oscar Wilde

16. "Suppose you were an idiot .. And suppose you were a member of Congress... But I repeat myself."

-Mark Twain

17. "Our bombs are smarter than the average high school student.   At least they can find Afghanistan."

- A. Whitney Brown

18. "You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog
will give you a look that says,  'My God, you're right!  I never would've thought of that!'"

-Dave Barry

19.  Do you know why they call it "PMS"? Because "Mad Cow Disease" was taken.

-Unknown, presumed deceased

Everyone is truly going to hate Chris if that's the only show they're airing on Sunday nights.

And when did "7th Heaven" get resurrected?

Friday greetings!  My book group had great fun last night comparing ourselves to the group in The Jane Austen Book Club.  The hostess had thought about serving gruel  :P, but went for cheesecake and strawberries instead  ;D

When I got home, my DH was watching the Will & Grace last episode.  Now, this is a man who's never before watched an entire episode of that program  ???

Media check:  CD(car) audiobook - Jane Austen's Emma, narrated by Donada Peters.
