So my cousin reminded me that I was actually a little bid of a brat to my grandma when i was five years old even though I became much nice by the time I was six.
We decided that this whole horrible mess of the past two years is punishment for my having been mean, talking back to Grandma when I was five, so it does all make sense after all.
Cue "Be Nice to Your Grandmother."
And here's a milestone post!
Happy Birthday to DR Ann ..... wherever she is!
I finished Gowns by Roberta.
Meh.
Well...we have reached the fork in the road.....I find Nancy Kwan to be beautiful, but completely incompetent as an actress.....to be kind.

Congrats to DR GINNY on her millstone.

Meh.
Can you believe she was a best selling author?
And here's a milestone post!Congratulations!
Well DR FJL - that's show business.

Hi Everyone:
I'm excited to be a new member. As you know my brother Kevin introduced me to this forum.
I'm interested in old movies, classic books and most music.
Happy Easter to everyone. Soon I'll be heading out for an Easter Brunch with Kevin and family.
Kate.
Easter Sunday greetings! I am looking forward to going HOME after church today. We have to be there by 2:20 for the start of Michigan v. Florida - Go, Blue!

Yeah, it seemed a little provocative for Easter morning somehow. :)
Re Donald post about the Oliviers - Did I ever post this tribute to THE BODYGUARD that I'd put in the comments to the Times review, about Ben Brantley's observation that if Heather Headley's bodyguard had been a better cop and less "studly" the plot of THE BODYGUARD might have been over in about 25 minutes:
Tune of I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY WHO LOVES ME (from The Bodyguard musical)
Crook strikes, he starts to stalk
And the cop is not too bright
Stop the plot with some songs to hawk
And those hits help pad the night
We’ve done all right up ‘til now
But New York is tougher, holy cow
Got Heather all signed
What guy can we find?
(chorus – 2x)
Oh, we’ve got a chance for some hottie
She needs to have some heat with some hottie
Yeah, need some advance with some hottie
With some hottie who’s studly
Some hottie who (2x),
Some hottie who’s studly
Some hottie who (2x)
Won’t blur out Heather’s charms
We need a cop who’s a hot buffoon
‘Cause if he seems too smart the plot ends too soon
But when New York calls
The casting search stalls
(repeat chorus over and over)
I believe I've approved KevinH's sister so hopefully she'll get the e-mail and join our merry troupe.
My sister's husband Mike passed away this morning.

Good grief! Winter is over. Didn't anyone tell England?
KevinH, PM me the e-mail address she used - if she registered earlier today, I already nuked it and she'll have to do it again - I get 100 spam registrations a day and just nuke them without even looking.
No the church is pretty much wheelchair accessible, but the problem is the parking. There are only a couple of handicap spots and a heck of a lot of old people.
I'm up early. Must hide the eggs for Toby and Dylan to find them when they wake up.
They always find them. they have very good senses of smell.
I enjoyed reading about DR VIXMOM'S Good Friday service, DR JOHN G's pie, and DR KEVIN H's sister! It was an entertaining day at HHW yesterday.
From Bruce:QuoteKevinH, PM me the e-mail address she used - if she registered earlier today, I already nuked it and she'll have to do it again - I get 100 spam registrations a day and just nuke them without even looking.
I'm shocked at the number you receive a day. If you nuke them all how does a sincere person join our fun group?
Kids are so cute! So my 7 year old niece wrote the Easter Bunny a letter giving him the address where they would be staying. :)
I have been watching SABRINA. Netflix offers it on streaming video and I'd always wanted to see it. Streaming is soooo convenient!
I've never seen THE BISHOP'S WIFE.
This morning, I woke up at 5:45 to find that the hot water heater was out. So, I went to check it out, and found that pilot light was out. I followed the instructions on how to light it, but I get nervous about putting a match to places where there is gas, so I left a message for the roommate to look at it. He took care of it.
I've never seen THE BISHOP'S WIFE.
Make sure you get the original and not the remake.

That's one mistake I never make. :) If only the rest of life were that clear-cut.

Some remakes are better than the original's, but only from the very early original's.
My sister's husband Mike passed away this morning.
Yes, my sister's name is Catherine, nickname: Cathy until she was in her late 20's when she decided she liked Kate better. I believe Kate Middleton's name is also Catherine!
I'm tiiiired. Here's the deal with the spam registrations - they are VERY obvious - I glance at them and that's it. Only once have I nuked someone real and they wrote me and I had them register again. I just need to be told when a real person is registering, otherwise I nuke - I can't do it any other way. So, thank you spammers and may you all die soon.

So, thank you spammers and may you all die soon.I am sure that the spam registrations must be beyond frustrating. But I agree with DR Jane there should be something that tells people to email you. If it is easy to spot the spam why did DR ChasSmith say he tried to register 3 times. And new DR Kate tried as well. This would seem to deter any new people from registering unless they know you or someone else.

Do the correct people at the church know why you can't attend?

Earlier today I purchased Better Nate Than Ever for my reader. I'm now charging the reader. Wi-Fi eats up the power.I enjoyed that a lot. It'll be interesting to read what you think of it.

I hope you will share photos of Sadie with us.
I've never heard of peanut butter cookies made with Bisquick. It sounds interesting. For years I avoided Bisquick because it contained animal fat but they have removed that along with palm oil. :)
And Hello, Dolly! the wretched and misbegotten production I saw last week gets not a rave but certainly a pass from the Washington Post - are these people just afraid to take on this director and his productions? Because I've just lost what sliver of respect I had for Peter Marks. You can read through this and see just how misbegotten it is.Sounds like he's trying to be kind to a high school production. And no matter what he says, the production still sounds terrible. But where, other than the tradition of casting, is Dolly referred to as a yenta? Her name is Gallagher Levi, and the Gallagher sounds more Irish.

I used a Jello mix - and instead of making one pie I made 36 mini cupcake size cheesecakes - for one dozen of them I put a layer of carmel on the crust before adding the cheese cake filling then drizzled a little carmel on top and a few slivered almonds
for the 2nd dozen a put a layer of strawberry jam on the crust before adding the filling and then topped them with half a strawberry
the last dozen I left plain but topped with a fresh blackberry
they came out well and looked pretty -

I suspect the new minister may not know of you then - I would suggest you call the church office and explain you r situation - if he is worth his cloth he will find a way of helping you
