I leave you all with best vibes for the day, including pain-be-gone and postal vibes for DR Elmore. 

You know, hearing these experiences, a person could easily come to believe that NYC postal workers — both the carriers and the inside people — just outright despise their jobs and the residents they serve.

And okay, I doubt it’s a hundred percent of them, and maybe BK would argue for LA taking the prize, but it’s just nowhere near that in many other places.

T.O.D.

Although SINGIN' IN THE RAIN is certainly one of the great movie musicals, I was never a fan of Debbie Reynolds.

I can't really put my finger on it, but there always seemed to be a "phoniness"...a "distance"... about her.

I saw her do her show at her hotel in Las Vegas once.  Yes, she was a good entertainer, but in my humble opinion, not very "likable".

Anybody else feel that way?

It was terrific.....I first encountered MR BK because the book Benjamin Kritzer was recommended to me by former DR JMK.  Then he introduced me to this here site....well the old site....in  1994....and I have been here ever since....

I had lots of girls named Debbie, Debby, Deb, and Deborah in my school classes during the years....I also have a cousin named Debbie on both sides of my family....

DR DRUXY is correct I think......there can be something off putting about her....and I think Mr Eddie Fisher wrote that she is ALWAYS in competition with everyone around her to be the center of attention...etc....

BUT I like her a lot.....and I love a lot of her movies....favorites include:

Singin' In the Rain
The Pleasure of His Company
The Gazebo
Divorce American Style
Goodbye, Charlie
What's the Matter With Helen?

I have learned something - even though I am an old dog.....BUT yes i have learned something.  It is something that may benefit all of you as well...although some of you may already know it and I am late to the party.

What is it?  You ask....as well you may.  Why should I not share this with you who may not know it and whom it may benefit.  Therefore:

If you have a PDF form file.....such as an audition sheet or other form - you can open it in Adobe.

But you knew that.

HOWEVER....if you click on "TOOLS" at the top of the page, you can then click on "FILL IN" and fill in the form BEFORE you print it out so you don't have to do it with a pen.

It is most convenient and looks very nice.

I filled in my audition sheet for SEND ME NO FLOWERS which I will be auditioning for TOMORROW.

Well, I must be off.  First, I need to shower and shave (in that order), then get dressed, then go help my niece inject one of her cats with fluids becausd the cat has kidney problems and this really helps. 

Does her cat handle it well?  They seem to know it helps.

For Bogie we set up a station over the washing machine & put a hook in the cabinet to hang the bag from.

If she (the cat) knows that it's going to happen, she'll try to hide.  Otherwise, she didn't struggle once it started.  My niece has a hook in the ceiling over the island in between their kitchen and living room to hang the bag of fluid.

Not more than a couple of minutes.  Then, she (the cat) will have a squishy hump on her back for a couple of hours as it's absorbed into her body.
