Hotpoints are over here, too, Doug. I once had a Hotpoint Refrigerator. Later I got a Magic Chef Refrigerator and had a Hotpoint stove.

And the word of the day is: AHIMSA!
And The Song Of The Day Is : LIVING TOGETHER, GROWING TOGETHER
TOD: I lived in Middletown, Ohio, for about a year in the mid-1980s during which time I interviewed a native son, one Larry Moore, for the newspaper. We kept in touch off and on over the next 20 or so years, and it was through him that I came to HHW. I peeked in occasionally before joining through him, and I, too, am grateful for the family I've made here.
TOD:
My profile shows that I have been a member since October 22, 2003.....so almost NINE years.
And, O happy day!, I have found the missing sheet of information. No trip to NYPL needed after all. I must still get to Kinko's so I will do that shortly.Perhaps you can find my mind in your papers. It's been missing for some time now.
I had discovered BK on some other board (that I won't mention). After he left that board, I was very sad, and so I guess I google-searched around and somehow found him on HHW. That was way back -- a long long time ago.
Interesting to find so many DRs who came from, or are living in, the Midwest. Columbus is my hometown and my dad now lives in Cincinnati, as does my sister and her family, and a couple of branches of the family were clustered in both the Ashland and Sandusky areas for a while. I later went to school in Cleveland, so even though we (as a family) also lived in Fort Lauderdale for some years, and I lived in L.A. for even more years, Ohio is still the home base.
Good morning, all! As soon as it was light in my apartment, I was awake, but I fought the urge and slept until 7:15. Most of my day will be spent on the notes to EILEEN. The deadline is in place and i've got to meet it. Around 11, I will head down to Kinko's to pick up the five orchestra scores I had bound yesterday, then I will head to the NYPL to retrieve the information I managed to lose yesterday. I am really angry at myself for this carelessness since every other note is here, close to hand,
BK, thank you again for hosting a trememdously entertaining evening. The company was great, the food was excellent, and your presence was the most sparkling gift one could have, much more sparkling than the dress of the blonde at the table next to us!
DR Julie looked glorious last night, and everyone - beginning with me - gave her hell for being E&T; she is truly missed. I usually see DR FJL only at his apartment when I get an invitation to one of Skip's wonderful meals, so it's always a treat to see him out and about. Marriage hasn't changed our DR Ben at all, and I really enjoyed talking to DR ChasSmith, who assimilated with the crew from the madhouse very quickly. No dog he!
We have to get some of our regional DRs into the City. DR MBarnum is excluded, since he assimilated so well he now thinks he's Eloise and my fire escape is the Plaza.
Matthew, were you the one who posted the Broadway Diva youtube? That's the best thing EVER. I can't tell you how much time I have wasted watching that.
T.O.D.
I came to this site by way of six degrees of Jerry Herman. My dear friend Sharry and I had just finished (I think) our run of HELLO DOLLY!; and since she was not computer savvy, she asked if I could try to find an address or P.O. Box for Jerry Herman by way of the computer search. Well Jerry Herman took me to HELLO DOLLY!, which took me to Carol Channing, which took me to recordings which took me to producer Bruce Kimmel, which took me to Guy Hianes and this site.
I lurked at the site for about a week. I was amazed at this little group of witty, knowledgeable, and entertainment-oriented souls. One day I got up the courage to comment on something, and they were all so wlecoming that I stayed.
My profle says I joined October 21, 2003, aqnd since DR Jrand's profile says October 22, 2003; I believe this must be the date of the new board, and not the day we joined. I thought I had found this site in 2002, but what do I know?

Zach has quite the experience ahead of him. Sounds great. And the time will fly and he will be home in no time perhaps even speaking Chinese!
And finally this cherce correction from DR Laura's own Arizona Republic:
The Jumble Puzzle, which appears on page D1 of Thursday's edition, actually was the puzzle scheduled to appear today. The Jumble originally scheduled to appear Thursday as well as the answers to Wednesday's puzzle are on page E1 today. The answers to the puzzle published today appeared Thursday, and the answers to the puzzle published Thursday will appear Saturday.
DR MBarnum is excluded, since he assimilated so well he now thinks he's Eloise and my fire escape is the Plaza.

Vibes to the K family. It is a wonderful experience for Zach!
I think it was the fall of 2002 when I discovered HHW (old board), and didn't really "Get it" at first, but then I jumped in and I've been here on and off ever since. It's hard to keep up during the busy parts of life, but I've made some great friends here and it's a great place to ask for an opinion, share knowledge, share "stuff" and things like that. I'm ever grateful for the support, vibes, and net-friends I've made here. We all help each other here, it's a wonderful place.
Page three at 10:00 a.m. on the Left Coast? Wow! Perhaps BK should move to New York, so that I have more to read in the morning. ;D

"Net-friends." I like that word. Much better than "Internet acquaintances."

Deb, unfortunately no pictures were taken so the even will live on only in our minds.
I ate light at Joe Allen's. I had black bean soup and a spring vegetable salad. Very delicious. Mr. Kimmel kept trying to tempt those of us who didn't order dessert with his cobbler but I (and Julie) resisted. BTW, Julie does look great.
I had to leave around 9:30 (as Larry said at one point, getting up at 5am every day is a killer).
I'm really glad I had a chance to attend yesterday. Seeing everyone (including Tom Nondorf) was a treat and meeting Chas was excellent. He fits right into the wacky HHW crowd.

Sincere thanks to all for the vibes re: Zach. I'm going to be a nervous wreck for the next two weeks, but what else is new?
The airport was insanely busy this morning, but only at United, of course. They finally asked the parents to leave so that there would be more room for actual passengers.
TOD: I lived in Middletown, Ohio, for about a year in the mid-1980s during which time I interviewed a native son, one Larry Moore, for the newspaper. We kept in touch off and on over the next 20 or so years, and it was through him that I came to HHW. I peeked in occasionally before joining through him, and I, too, am grateful for the family I've made here.
Our DR JohnG is the sort of gentleman I aspire to become and know I'll never reach. What he doesn't tell you is that once he'd interviewed me, I killed the article.
Several well-intentioned friends in Middletown who knew about my participation in the Pulitzer Prize win for SUNDAY iN THE PARK WITH GEORGE decided, without asking my opinion, to take my story to the local newspaper. One day I got a call from this young reporter asking for an interview about the subject. I was very unhappy to learn about this turn of events since I felt, while I was proud of the achievement, that it was Steve Sondheim's business, and not mine, to discuss my involvement, if he chose to do so.
After my interview with this pleasant young man, I called the editor of the newspaper and begged him to kill the story. My friends in Middletwn were very unhappy with my decision and I think I did the right thing; it was my tale to tell when I chose, not when I was forced.
Then, in 1989 or 1990, I was working on a show by Barry Kleinbort in Cohoes, NY, at the very haunted and spooky Cohoes Music Hall, a jewel box of a theatre and one helluva a scary place. As I left the theatre one night, a pleasant young man introduced himself to me. It was Mr JohnG who was working for a local newspaper.
And, O happy day!, I have found the missing sheet of information. No trip to NYPL needed after all. I must still get to Kinko's so I will do that shortly.
TOD - When I started going to NYC for work in October of 2004, I spent some time with DR Elmore, our longtime friend from here in Middletown, OH. At the time he and my high school/college friend Doug were the only 2 people we knew in the city. Larry told me then about this site and I lurked for about a month before DR JRand posted a picture of a mystery woman who I could identify. Signed up, ID'd the photo, and the rest is history. Thanks to DR Elmore bringing me here, we now have many friends in New York and we no longer feel like tourists when we're there.
And, that same week in 2004, DR Elmore kept saying he was "juggling two women," because his friend Jane was also visiting from out of town. I'd been on here for several months before we connected the dots and realized that he was talking about our very own DR Jane and a year later she and I met in person.

My dear friend Sharry and I had just finished (I think) our run of HELLO DOLLY!; and since she was not computer savvy, she asked if I could try to find an address or P.O. Box for Jerry Herman by way of the computer search. Well Jerry Herman took me to HELLO DOLLY!, which took me to Carol Channing, which took me to recordings which took me to producer Bruce Kimmel, which took me to Guy Hianes and this site.
I lurked at the site for about a week. I was amazed at this little group of witty, knowledgeable, and entertainment-oriented souls. One day I got up the courage to comment on something, and they were all so wlecoming that I stayed.
My profle says I joined October 21, 2003, and since DR Jrand's profile says October 22, 2003; I believe this must be the date of the new board, and not the day we joined. I thought I had found this site in 2002, but what do I know?
Oops, guess I forgot to logout when we left for the Y. Had a good workout - 1.3 miles on the treadmill and 1200 steps on the NuStep.

I took Sharry out to lunch yesterday. We went down to Anthony's at Point Defiance, where you and Keith and George and I had lunch. This was before I opened my mail. When I still thought I had money,
I had to look up NuStep. Is this it?
Another reason I like it is that it's made in Ann Arbor, MI.

Such a shame your nice day was ruined. I'm glad you enjoyed your lunch first.
Today I had the Bacon Sundae. I'm only a little surprised to report that it was delicious. The vanilla soft serve (which seems to be of a very good quality, but I've never had it by itself), the chocolate and caramel syrups, and the bacon. Very compatible flavors.
Just what I needed, of course, after last night's Hot Fudge Pudding Cake With Vanilla Ice Cream and Hot Fudge Sauce.

It wasn't too long after that...I think less than a year, and I met DR Jane and her DH Keith, DR George, DR JMK his DW Betsey and their boys at DR JMK's home in Oregon. After that I went to NYC and was in the first walking and eating tour by DR Jose. I have loved the get togethers since then. I don't really think of my friends here as net-friends. I think of everyone as a friend. You don't find many sites where everyone actually gets together like we do. It is the best site on the internet~!January 16, 2005, 12:56:30 PM

Two very fun gatherings!!!!
DR Ginny and I were back in NY for the events that had taken us the previous year, only this time not only did we meet many other DR's joined us & DR Jose organized the walking tour. It was an exhausting but wonderful day.
Also the day we found out what wonderful hosts DR FJL & Skip are.
I was nervous about it too, lol. I was going off to meet a couple I didn't know to drive to the home of someone I didn't know ..... that went away as soon as I met Jane and Keith
Jane, it's the very fact that everything is out of my control that makes me nervous. :)
A friend of mine often participates in a blog that is largely political. He's told me many times about the online arguments the members get into. There's lots of name-calling and very little listening, and even less respect. That does not interest me! We're friendlier here! I've never heard of another blog where the members actually have get-togethers.

Thoughts would be appreciated on this. We're in the early planning stages for taking the boys to Europe next summer. Here's what I'm proposing
Flying from Portland to Philadelphia
1=2 days in Philly to see the Liberty Bell, Constitution Hall, etc.
Train to NYC
2-3 days in NYC, see a show and the sights maybe meet with HHW-ers
Plane to London
4 days in London
Tower, Millennium Plaza, Museum, Buckingham Palace, West End
Train to Paris
2-3 days in Paris
Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Champs, etc.
Train to Venice
2-3 days in Venice
St. Marks, etc.
Train to Rome
3-4 days in Rome
Ruins, Vatican, etc.
Fly home

I tried not to drop any-figured they had enough anyway without my help ;)
Yep, recumbent cross trainer, DR Jane!
If our Y has one I'll give it a try. I was progressing on the regular cross trainer when I realized it simply hurts my shoulders, in a bad way, too much. I do weights and a couple of other exercises for my shoulders plus swimming once a week. I use weights for my legs, 10 minutes on a recumbent bike, 20 minutes on the stairmaster, and 1 mile or more on the treadmill. I run on and off during the mile and do it in about 13 minutes. If I have extra time & jog longer I go an extra half mile.

That's quite a workout, DR Jane! Be careful with the NuStep, because your arms move in opposition to your feet and I'd worry about your shoulder. I suppose you could just not hold onto the hand grips and exercise just your legs, but be careful not to get smacked in the face!

I heard on Entertainment tonight that House Hunters isn't real, that one of the couples had already purchased a home and they found two others to fake them looking at. My response is "so what".

Except for the face smacking part it sounds like the cross trainer. If I give the NuStep a try I won't go more than a minute to begin with.
I like the routine I have now. Occasionally I try something new only to find it bothers my back or shoulders. Rotating machines keeps me from getting too bored. When I first began going I mostly used the treadmill & had to hold on to keep my balance. I feel much stronger now & I think the work outs are why my swimming is improving.

That's quite a workout, DR Jane! Be careful with the NuStep, because your arms move in opposition to your feet and I'd worry about your shoulder. I suppose you could just not hold onto the hand grips and exercise just your legs, but be careful not to get smacked in the face!
Except for the face smacking part it sounds like the cross trainer. If I give the NuStep a try I won't go more than a minute to begin with.
I like the routine I have now. Occasionally I try something new only to find it bothers my back or shoulders. Rotating machines keeps me from getting too bored. When I first began going I mostly used the treadmill & had to hold on to keep my balance. I feel much stronger now & I think the work outs are why my swimming is improving.
Now that my feet have healed after walking around New York and Washington, I'm thinking about trying out the pool next week.
TOD: I saw a post by BK on allthatchat.com that had a link to HHW. I realized at some point that BK was the producer of Brent Barrett's CDs and a few others I had.
I sent BK an email and asked if he thought he might be doing another CD with Brent. He answered that Brent was very busy at the time but that they might do one at some point.
He also mentioned that he had had webtv and was interested that I still had it at that point.
I lurked on the site on and off for a couple of years! I finally joined in the fall of 2009. I've enjoyed very much meeting BK and many HHW members!
Danise: You asked about the brand of fridge I got. It's a Hotpoint - a British label (actually made in Poland) whose parent company in U.S. is General Electric.I don't think i've every heard of a Hotpoint. I hope it works long and well for you, DR Doug R!
I remember meeting DR Ben and DH Ant who made me feel so at home.
I've never met DR TCB but I somehow feel a bond with him as well. I hope to someday meet all of the very Dear DR's I haven't in a another gathering where EVERYONE can be there.
I remember, I remember......... :)
DR Danise Keith enjoyed your call. :)I'm glad. I know I sounded like a little kid--I was that excited. And then the next day I hurt in places I didn't know I had! :)
**hugs**

I feel the same bond with you DR Danise!
I still use two of the products.
I just now recall that there was a missing chapter in there, but I'll settle for the gloss. The Barry Kleinbort piece was "Angelina," which I still have on a cassette somewhere.TOD: I lived in Middletown, Ohio, for about a year in the mid-1980s during which time I interviewed a native son, one Larry Moore, for the newspaper. We kept in touch off and on over the next 20 or so years, and it was through him that I came to HHW. I peeked in occasionally before joining through him, and I, too, am grateful for the family I've made here.
Our DR JohnG is the sort of gentleman I aspire to become and know I'll never reach. What he doesn't tell you is that once he'd interviewed me, I killed the article.
Several well-intentioned friends in Middletown who knew about my participation in the Pulitzer Prize win for SUNDAY iN THE PARK WITH GEORGE decided, without asking my opinion, to take my story to the local newspaper. One day I got a call from this young reporter asking for an interview about the subject. I was very unhappy to learn about this turn of events since I felt, while I was proud of the achievement, that it was Steve Sondheim's business, and not mine, to discuss my involvement, if he chose to do so.
After my interview with this pleasant young man, I called the editor of the newspaper and begged him to kill the story. My friends in Middletwn were very unhappy with my decision and I think I did the right thing; it was my tale to tell when I chose, not when I was forced.
Then, in 1989 or 1990, I was working on a show by Barry Kleinbort in Cohoes, NY, at the very haunted and spooky Cohoes Music Hall, a jewel box of a theatre and one helluva a scary place. As I left the theatre one night, a pleasant young man introduced himself to me. It was Mr JohnG who was working for a local newspaper.
Thanks for expanding the story. I don't remember hearing this before.
