What are you, Into the Woods all of a sudden?

Panni · « **Reply #63 on:** July 17, 2004, 11:22:55 AM »

Gee, gosh and golly thanks for all the turtle compliments. Pete thanks you, too.
Jane - I'll get Panalog.
Jason - Sorry about your work woes. Good that you've met a friend. And one whose name you'll never forget. Years ago I went to a small dinner party where two of the guest - who happened to be partners - were named "Tom." The mother of one of them was visiting from out of town, so they brought her along. I've always thought of that evening as dinner with Tom, Tom and Mom.

Darling daughter just called - they got a flat tire (because some numbnuts threw something idiotic out of their car which daughter and husband ran over). They're going to get a replacement car (rental) and then come in an hour.

Fav docs:

Harlan County, USA
Salesman
Sherman's March
Bowling for Columbine
Fahrenheit 9/11
Ken Burns' Baseball & The Civil War
The Men Who Made The Movies
Brownlow's Hollywood series
Crumb (about artist R. Crumb)
Broadway: The Golden Age (Speaking of which: LA Weekly has small profile on Myles Kreuger mentioned here a few days ago)

I really don't consider the That's Entertainment films documentaries so much as compilation films.

A flat tire is only flat on one side.

Pete is cute.

Bruce have a wonderful time with the darling daughter.

JMK BeeGee is beautiful. I love his coloring and can imagine it is spectacular in the light. I guess the Newfie in him doesn’t want to retrieve. But what is a Cinnamon Newfie? I thought Newfie is short for Newfoundland and they are black.

Unlike Marty and Buster, Echo does not like to be brushed. Bogie on the other hand races to the brush if you go anywhere near it.

I have been the victim of a very hungry mosquito. I believe it happened on Thursday night when I attended an outdoor concert. I have five bites on my left foot, seven on my right, and two on my right calf. I woke up at 6 am because the itching was too much to sleep through. I have now put some ointment on them, and taken some Benadryl. The Benadryl helps the itch, but it's also making very drowsy.

I'm putting it down on this here site so I have to stick to it...today I will clean my apartment. It's been a while, and things need to be tidied up and cleaned. Now you all know, now I've gotta actually do it...

Pogue has been having difficulties with his computer, hence his absences.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #70 on:** July 17, 2004, 12:10:37 PM »

Very uncomfortable, DRANN. Sometimes sleep IS the answer.

JMK · « **Reply #71 on:** July 17, 2004, 12:13:34 PM »

Jane, Cinnamon Newfies are "two-toned"--black and kind of golden/brown, hence the Cinnamon nomenclature.

JMK · « **Reply #72 on:** July 17, 2004, 12:20:02 PM »

If the shoes were smelly enough to kill, and their owner thereby became a celebrity, the show could be

Shoecago.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #73 on:** July 17, 2004, 12:42:20 PM »

I would say the smelliest shoes are The Shoes of the Fisherman.

Jason, sadly I don’t believe your job problem is all that uncommon. I agree you need to play nice. You could always think about job hunting the week you are off with out pay. I do hope things will work out for you on Monday. You will let us know.

Ann spray the bites with Benadryl. Icing them first can help.

JMK I found some photos of brown Newfies, now I remember.

Check out this site for some really cute dog pics.

It must be pet day here at HHW! Nice turtle and nice doggie!

BK I feel your pain re: having to get new shoes.

I am known to complete DESTROY any shoe that is in my posession for very long. I must walk funny, or particular hard because my shoes - no matter how expensive or guaranteed they may be - always end up looking tattered and worn away after a maximum of six months of wear. So instead of shelling out money for so-called "good" shoes, I now just buy exclusively cheappie ones from Payless or other stores. At least when those ones fall apart on me, they'll only have cost me less than $30.

My strappy all-purpose skirt sandals (bought in May) are now almost completely destroyed - so I've been hunting around for a new pair online. What do you all think of these:

Emily · « **Reply #77 on:** July 17, 2004, 12:55:22 PM »

right now, the bottom one is winning...

Jrand73 · « **Reply #78 on:** July 17, 2004, 12:55:57 PM »

I vote for the top shoe, DR EMILY!

My sister is coming to Toronto Tomorrow to go to a Tea Party Concert! I think it's Toronto.

Pet day?

I love Pet Day!

We need to see a new picture of Freddy the cat, MBARNUM.

Here is Autumn Memory - who had a short life. She spent a lot of time at the vet, but she was the smartest dog we ever had. Our first Shar-Pei...

Jane · « **Reply #81 on:** July 17, 2004, 01:04:58 PM »

Jennifer are you having a good day?

Emily I agree with JRand, but neither shoes looks like it has much support. I believe in shoes that don’t ruin your feet or body.

Autumn Memory is a pretty name. I would name a brown (cinnamon) Newfoundland that.

Ann · « **Reply #82 on:** July 17, 2004, 01:11:44 PM »

I apologize if this picture disgusts anyone...this is my little Shy who died this last January. He was a good little pet, even though he was a rat. Sweet and intelligent, even knew his own name.

Panni · « **Reply #83 on:** July 17, 2004, 01:12:45 PM »

Back to docus - An old friend whom I haven't seen for years did a documentary for the CBC and PBS - which went on to win the Oscar. It was called JUST ANOTHER MISSING KID, and was really excellent. (They made a dramatic movie of the docu with the same title, but it was not nearly as good as the real thing.)

Panni · « **Reply #84 on:** July 17, 2004, 01:13:37 PM »

Cute rat!

Ann · « **Reply #85 on:** July 17, 2004, 01:15:23 PM »

Cleaning update - I have vaccumed and spot-scrubbed the whole carpet. It looks a lot better. Now I'm taking a break.

Jane · « **Reply #86 on:** July 17, 2004, 01:20:50 PM »

Ann I for one am very happy you finally posted a picture of Shy. Oh, he was sooo cute.

Jane · « **Reply #87 on:** July 17, 2004, 01:30:45 PM »

I don’t have a favorite documentary. Unfortunately we don’t seem too many anymore. We thought INTO THE VOID was great, but it was part documentary, part docudrama.

Last night I had a Caesar salad. It is Keith’s favorite salad and once in awhile I get in the mood for one.

My favorite salad is a creation of my older son’s. It has a yummy Miso dressing made with fresh ginger. Amongst other goodies, the salad also has fried won ton wrappers in it.

Jane · « **Reply #88 on:** July 17, 2004, 01:36:24 PM »

Keith is home which means I can leave (we are waiting for someone to come to the house). Echo and I have not been to visit our friends at the nursing home for a month and I would hate for another week to go by. I hesitated to go as I still have my cold. I’m sure I’m not contagious but my resistance to catching something is probably down. I won’t stay long. There are a few people there I know who have been missing her.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #89 on:** July 17, 2004, 01:38:13 PM »

Shy has pretty eyes!

Off to work the box office and do a closing night performance of FATHER OF THE BRIDE!!!
