George, please send some whipped cream to top DR Jeanne’s birthday cake.
😊
I seem to be grieving my losses longer than most.
I look forward to a day when I sob less than 5 hours/day.
It surprises me when people tell me that I should be over it by now.
The health crisis has returned. It's a good thing I'm seeing that gastrointestinal doctor tomorrow.
I seem to be grieving my losses longer than most.
I look forward to a day when I sob less than 5 hours/day.
It surprises me when people tell me that I should be over it by now.
I lost my mom and my uncle within 3 weeks of each other in March/April.
Still in shock.
I never want to bring down the mood here on HHW.
So, I try to post when I’m feeling better.
But I’m not feeling better.
DR George: their way is too fraught with pitfalls. They must revert to Plan B: buy fresh French pastries for every rehearsal/performance.
We did Act Two twice and it was most enjoyable.
The director also gave me a direction - so I took it to the nth degree and he fell off his chair laughing.....I think it stays in.
But it's black, which did make me have to think about which black car in the parking lot was my loaner. :-\
There are just too damed many!
A little late, but I did enjoy watching Jane Fonda film one of her scenes in “The China Syndrome”.
The bar where she meets Jack Lemmon was very close to my apartment in the marina, so a group of us decided to watch them film the scene at a bar in Venice. She was very friendly to us, as well as very classy.
A wonderful memory.

So….
I will keep up with everything, and return from time to time as my mood allows.
Thank you all for allowing me to express my sadness.
I’m working on the process of grieving and recovering.
It will take time.

HUGS, DR DR Iris. You are not on a schedule. Take all the time you need.
Garbanzo beans, specifically.
It turns out that the small fridge where the whipped cream can was kept, froze the can of whipped cream, so that the whipped cream couldn't be dispensed onto our fake pastries!
Oh my god.
I'm going through the stack of clothes I'd laid out MONTHS ago to donate -- and I am shocked, shocked, to find that they were obviously all bought by mistake, for some damn kid half my size.
What's really weird is that there are a couple of things I didn't even recognize. Oy! Well, I probably wouldn't recognize mine own self in a photo wearing them, either. Have I had two lives, one of them thin? Don't bother, I already know the answer to that: Yes.
I need to throw these things into a box once and for all, and take them somewhere. Either that, or set fire to them.
DR John G., I know how Texans feel about beans in their chili, but what about beans in their tacos?
I never understood the issue with beans in chili. Can we just call it something else and still enjoy the yummy bean-filled concoction.
Why are there a thousand different kinds of pie but chili’s got rules?
The kids and I are a bit sick today. A lite cold.
Has anyone heard from DR LAURA lately?
Today's words of wisdom:
"You don't need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive more than once."
I'll be going now.
DR George: their way is too fraught with pitfalls. They must revert to Plan B: buy fresh French pastries for every rehearsal/performance.
Even better, hire a French pastry chef from France to make them in the wings. Why take chances?

;D I have images of you walking around the parking lot pressing the lock button on your key remote and looking to see which black car flashes its lights.

Sorry. Feel better.
I’m still awaiting word on George’s car.
DR IRIS - grief is too personal for another to really understand.
If you live near a nice Alternative shop - you might see if they have a stone called the Apache Tear. It is a form of Obsidian, a black stone, shaped like a tear.
Carrying it or using it in meditation can be helpful.

There’s no sweetener in a margarita either, but people insist on putting simple syrup, agave nectar, sugar or some unwholesome addition. And they have the gall to call their polluted versions margaritas too
A question for DR Elmore:
I know you're not enamored of The Cradle Will Rock, but maybe you can shed some light on this:
The copy of the piano-vocal score that's floating around out there is manuscript, but with the principal songs having been typeset at some point and inserted into that. I'm not finding any sheet music arrangements - not that I've looked too hard - but what is the actual story on its publication or its rental materials? Concord doesn't list it at all, even though the former rental script had been Tams-Witmark. Just really curious about this.
Kenneth Anger has also died.

DR ChasSmith:
Among all those alien clothes, did you find a shirt or pair of pants that you now refuse to believe you would ever have worn much less paid for?
I have such a photo of me in a shirt...and I recall thinking it looked SO GOOD on me.
Now, I am happy I wasn't simply shot on sight by the fashion police.
Happy Birthday, sweet DR Jeanne!
I prefer my chili without beans, but don't mind if there aren't too many beans.
It's all a matter of where you learned to eat chili, I think.
I have always enjoyed a hot dog with mustard, onions and bean-less chili.
When I was in Oakland, I learned that a place called Kasper's had great chili hot dogs. I figured it was true, because there was always a police car or two in their parking lot.
So, one evening after work, I stopped in and asked for two chili dogs to go.
I saw them take the buns, apply mustard, the wieners and onions and then they held each dog over a pot and ladled some liquid over the hot dogs.
I looked at them rather suspiciously and then asked what they had put on my hot dogs.
The server looked at me incredulously and declared it to have been chili. To my eyes, it looked like colored water with beans.
I suggested, as I was leaving, that they refresh themselves on the concept of chili and start using ground beef to give it substance. That chili powder in water with beans is NOT chili.
I never went back.
Happy Birthday to DR Jeanne!
Time for CAKE!

Thank you, Iris!

I have been very grateful for that feature when trying to find my parked rental car. Especailly when I didn't even recall what it looked like.

Feel better pronto to the Rodzinski family.
Happiest of birthdays to DR Jeanne!
DR Ginny, when do you expect to hear back about the house you are interested in?
~~~GOOD CAR NEWS VIBES~~~ for DR George today!!!!
Ditto!
But forgot that I had... some stuff.... in there. Not just pots and pans.
Then to the bookstore to look for bookmarks. They had one I liked, so I bought that. A falafel wrap at the Kebab shop, then home.
DR Ginny, when do you expect to hear back about the house you are interested in?
I hope by the end of the month.
If the fire alarm smoke detector HAD gone off, I'm not sure if that would cause an evacuation of all 120 apartments. I sure hope not.
DR Ginny, while you wait for an answer have other options become available for you to look at?
DR Singdaw, my mother used to keep packages of cookies and crackers in the oven. That practice earned her a demerit on one of the inspections at her retirement community.

A falafel sounds delicious.
I just learned that my friend John Wilson has conducted complete recordings of Oklahoma! and Carousel for Chandos Records.

I want a falafel.
I feel awful.
I'll bet this suitcase is jam-packed.

I used to have that suitcase, but my giant spreading knife kept getting taken by TSA.
I was watching a Japanese nutritionist on tv and he said there are SIX things you should just never eat.
Number One: Hot Dogs.
And I was eating a hot dog while watching him. I switched the channel.
I like The Glenn Miller Story.
Who's got the pain?
Apparently DeSantis's big launch on Twitter with Musk crashed. I feel so sorry for them. Not.

This past weekend I was a Star Trek convention where I spent some time chatting with a voice actor.
I was released early tonight because the director wanted to work on a couple of things I am not involved in.
AND he said we will not have the planned Monday rehearsal so after tomorrow - FOUR DAY WEEKEND!
I last watched The Glenn Miller Story probably about 30 years ago.
I have my dad’s Glenn Miller Story soundtrack LP.
Where'd George go?
