Morning all. I was tired last night and got to bed late (for me). Now I'm running late this morning but I did do my 3 miles!
Vibes to all!
Special vibes to DR CIlla and TCB!
Moving vibes to DR Elmore!
Have a wonder filled day!
It has cooled off. Temps in the 70s but the humidity is high. I'll live with it.
Off to work.
Jean Hagan is amazing in Singin' in the Rain. Her "I ain't people ..." speech is one of the funniest things ever captured on film. No matter how many times I see that movie, she reduces me to tears of laughter in that one.

I'm pleased to read that "Saving Aimee," now called "Scandalous," is coming to Broadway. The premise sounds so intriguing and hopefully enough work has been done on the show to have it in shape:

The role of the ditzy movie diva Lina Lamont was written with Judy Holliday in mind. Holliday was a close friend of Betty Comden and Adolph Green, and they even modeled the character on routines they had worked up with Holliday back when they were part of a satirical group called The Revuers in New York. Timing was everything, however, and the idea of casting Holliday was vetoed after she hit it big in Born Yesterday. Everyone figured she'd be uninterested in the supporting part but, as it turned out, the lovely Jean Hagen, Holliday's understudy on Broadway for "Born Yesterday", got the part.
I apologiz that I was E & T yesterday afternoon and evening. All week I have been suffering from leg cramps and charlie horses. Yesterday was so bad that I just turned off the computer when I got back from P.T., and spent the rest of the day on my bed (alone). I think the problem may be the statins I have taking for my cholesterol, or my blood pressure, or for something. Anyway today isn't starting out much better, but I have a Safeway delivery sometime today, so I must remain upright until then.
This week I finished reading the book FULL SERVICE written by DR MBarnum's boyfriend Scotty Bowers. It was an interesting book. I wish there was some way to know which parts of the book were factual and which ones were extensions of Mr. Bowers' imagination. In particular, I wonder about his assertion that the romance between Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn was a total fabrication of the studios and the press agents.

Well, since Hepburn was a lesbian . . .

Well, that is what Scotty says, too.
I want to like Judy Holliday, who supposedly had an affair with Katharine Hepburn, thus tying all these strings together, too much on the screen, so I would probably have more sympathy for Lina. And I think that would work against the character.

There are a lot of Downton Abbey people nominated for the Emmys: Hugh Bonneville (Robert Crawley), Brendan Coyle (John Bates), Jim Carter (Mr. Carson) , Michelle Dockery (Mary), Joanne Froggatt (Anna), Maggie Smith.

I remember reading this on IMDb in the trivia (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045152/trivia) section for the movie:QuoteThe role of the ditzy movie diva Lina Lamont was written with Judy Holliday in mind.

I loved Jean Hagen in the role, but I alway wonder what Judy Holliday would've been like.

I was really hurting when I woke up this morning, but after my meds had a chance to kick in, I felt pretty good. I'm going to try to switch to Aleve tonight and see if it works. If so, I'll go to work tomorrow and try to catch up
I decided to look around at other cars instead of just getting another Prius. Every car I looked at was missing something I really loved about my Prius. So, I looked at all the options on the 2012 Prius' and decided that there was one on the dealer's lot here in town that has everything I want. So, I went to the dealership. I know the people there and have gotten my last two cars there. They were great. They let me put the car on hold without a deposit until my insurance money comes it. So they'll hold it on the lot and I'll buy it when the money comes it. I'll be able to put enough down from the insurance money that my payment will actually be a lot lower than it was now. I am happy.
I also searched the internet for ideal price points etc and got the car for just a little over invoice. I'm happy with that
Spending a couple of days in Wales at the moment. So far, it hasn't rained, which is very surprising!

One day I want to see Wales.
DR Jane, No, I'm not skittish in the car. I just hate the rental car because the air conditioning doesnt' work very well and it's 95 degrees outside. And we have had no rain in weeks.
Also included were shot lists for the drunk driving sequence and part of the Mount Rushmore sequence.

Heads up, BK.....
There's some fresh meat waiting for you at HTF. :)
It's all laid out on the table in the "Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines" thread.
Oh...I remember: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/
Right?
the new car is Blizzard Pearl (white) with Bisque (tan) interior. It has lots of things my other car didn't....like a sun roof with a solar panel that powers a fan in the car to vent out the hot air in the summer. It has HD radio, XM radio, USB connections for a smart phone so you can use Pandora and weather apps. It's a cool car.
It has all the air bags my last one did, but also has knee airbags for the driver.
Today I didn't take the muscle relaxant and I'm doing fine without it

And everyone of them, IMHO, is worthy of the nomination.

I never heard of knee airbags.
DR TCB I hope an adjustment in your meds can be made to reduce the cramping. In the meantime, can you try heat after your PT appointments to relax the muscles?
Wales is beautiful, even in December.

I am not sure that the P.T. has anything to do with the cramping. I focused on that because it was the only thing I could think of that I had been doing. But then Dr. Oz (I know, I know) mentioned statins will cause these cramps.
I just started taking the statins again a couple of weeks ago. It was a prescription that I had forgotten to refill, so I hadn't really used them since probably March. So, the cramps stared as soon as I had been on the statins for a week or two.

I think you need to make a call to your doctor.
BK, do you report your sales to Billboard? It would seem to me in a week when Merrily We Roll Along can top the Billboard Broadway charts with 1,000+ copies sold that Follies, with orders of 1,300+ so far could also top the charts. Of course, it'd be gone the following week if it sells out, but at least for the week, the Kritzerland name would reach anyone looking at those sales lists. .
DR TCB I have know people to have undesirable symptoms with statins which were solved with a change of the brand or by taking the meds every other day, or some sort of alteration in the dosage. Good luck!
This afternoon at the Pike Place Market Starbuck's in Seattle, Will Ferrell & Zach Galifianakis are serving up the coffee. Do you think the word might have gotten out?(http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u271/actr2000/Pikesstreetmarket.jpg)

I am sure he will change it, but there is no sense calling out there until Monday. All they will say is that I need to go in and see them. The fact that I can't drive and have no ride won't mean a thing to them.
Wales is beautiful, even in December.
Why do you say "even"? So many places are even more charming when decorated for the season.
I keep thinking today is Friday.

It seems to me this is the kind of situation that can be addressed by phone. Be forceful and ask for your doctor to call you back.
Heavens! Hush your mouth!!!!! (Just joking with you, DR ChasSmith). If you worked with She Who Must Be Obeyed, you would understand.I keep thinking today is Friday.
Me too!!!!!
Just the opposite here. I keep thinking a day got skipped. Today is supposed to be Wednesday.

DR elmore, my condolences to your friend on the loss of her child. :(I also send mine.
I'm using a walk at home video so I don't have to leave the house.Morning all. I was tired last night and got to bed late (for me). Now I'm running late this morning but I did do my 3 miles!

Danise, are you going out and walking morning and evening, or are you using a treadmill?
I keep thinking today is Friday.
Me too!!!!!
BTW, the dogs are acting like nothing happened. Sheena isn't even limping tonight. Toby has been licking her ears and I can see that they are sore. I think his little ear is sore as well. I put salve on both of their ears.
Checked back and found that it was DR John G. who listed WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HELEN.
Well, second that!! :)
