Must stir.
The Grass Is Greener is dull. No wonder I had never heard of it.
I do have a question, I'm looking to listen to a recording of The Merry Widow - can anyone suggest a good recording to listen to?
Good Morning. Monday after opening weekend, would be lovely to hang out at home, however - JP (my one year old) is getting neutered today, so it was off to the vet we went at 8:00am. So, I decided to go to school and get started prepping things that need to be prepped before the kids get her in 2 weeks!!!
Thanks Larry!! I'll start with the English recording and see after that. :-)
Thanks for sharing the cast of Follies, George. Who played Buddy?
George, I am very excited to learn of that Flasher soundtrack and I think I shall order a copy.
Today has been absolutely gorgeous, so far, but...I am getting weather alerts that we are going to have a hellacious storm from 5-10 p.m.
It's possible. Sometimes we get the storm, and sometimes it hits neighboring towns but not Johnston. I don't want "hellacious", but we have had a lot of rain and the town is lush and green.
William Friedkin has died. French Connection, Exorcist, Boys in the Band, Cruising, Sorcerer.

Yikes! :o
~~~Vibes for a NOT Hellacious Storm!!~~~

I had a friend in the New York City Gay Men's Chorus who was an extra in the bar scenes of Cruising. According to him, Friedkin had accumulated quite a porn movie of all the sexual activity he encouraged the extras to commit to film.

DR Rodzinski, are their cousins on the island for your children to play with?

DR Rodzinski, are their cousins on the island for your children to play with?
No. We all met up on the island just as a day trip.
Maryland is under a tornado watch.
This is my first experience with it, and I hope it’s my last.

The sky is dark, and the wind is picking up.
I have no basement, and no safe place.
Please send strong vibes!!
TOPLINE A storm system headed toward the D.C.-Baltimore area Monday night has forecasters predicting high wind speeds, large hail and the potential for multiple tornadoes in the area, bringing the region its first National Weather Service-declared Level 4 storm in more than a decade.
I am heading out to the balcony to bring in the lightweight patio furniture.
Very likely that all of my garden, 30 plants, will be destroyed.
Jane, I’m in a condo on the third floor of a 5 story building.
Ceiling to floor glass in every room, surrounded by lots of trees.
It’s getting bad. Lots of hail, thunder, wind.
Trees are swaying and bending.
Hope the power stays on.
Jane, I was just about to ask about Craig.
Doesn’t DR Kevin live in this area?
600,000 without power so far.
We have been warned to stay indoors.
I have no problem with that! 😊
Jane, my plan is to retreat to a hallway bathroom if necessary.
Vibes for DS Craig!
DD JP is home. The cone they sent him home with is way too big, I think I have a smaller one or I'll go get him a blow-up donut. He's not very happy - sounds frustrated not necessarily in pain. He just doesn't seem to know where to put himself with the cone. Other than that, we was a good patient, and now he's chipped as well.
Smaller cone did the trick. He seems more relaxed. Big brother Leo is a good babysitter

Poor baby. Does he need to wear the cone while you are watching him?

Yeah - especially now since everything is "new". I'll take it off when he eats, and maybe on his walks - but for now, he should wear it. They say 10 days, but we'll see how well things heal. He's a good patient, though.
We’re currently in a short storm lull.
It’s expected to get worse at around 10PM.
Tornado watch in New Jersey and Pennsylvania now.
I see that one tree has been hit by lightning.
The temps dropped 20 degrees in 20 minutes.
Yes, Jane, both bathrooms have tubs.
Could probably sleep in one of them, if necessary.
“ Friedkin died before his latest movie, The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, could hit screens at the Venice Film Festival beginning on 30 August.”
Wow…still has one more film release.
I explain it this way:
A “watch” means that I have all of the ingredients necessary to make cupcakes.
A “warning” means that I am eating cupcakes. Right now.
Jane, the news suggests staying indoors, away from glass windows, and to go to the lowest floor possible.
The bathroom makes sense to me, as it’s in a hallway with no windows.
Bathtub
Yes! Bathtubs can be a very good place to hide. Usually, these are very tightly screwed to the ground. You cannot very easily pull these out of their bases. Many times, it has been seen that bathtubs are among the very few things that survive the devastation of a tornado. Get a mattress and get inside the tub and pull the mattress over your body. This will give you cover from all the sides.
Jane, excellent suggestion!
Thank you!
Not able to pick up a heavy mattress by myself, however.
A heavy blanket will suffice.
I don’t think it will get to that point.
Staying positive.
Hail is SO LOUD.

I remember when tornadoes ripped through Louisville back in the early 1970s. Horrible day.
April 3-4, 1974. 330 people died in that spree.
I take back my own comments.
I hated both Last Tango in Paris AND Cries and Whispers.
What was I thinking?
OMG!
We are a year away from the Republican National Convention, yet every newscast is Trump! Trump! Trump! Either he is mouthing off and getting into trouble with a federal judge, despite a warning he could be jailed, or we are hearing how he is so far ahead of every other declared GOP candidate.
Sick, sick, sick of Trump, Trump, Trump!
How in hell did we ever stoop to this level of idiocy in this country??
*********
Ron, I feel the exact same way.
I have always watched MSNBC, but I’m taking a break.
I will no longer post news about Trump, unless and until he has been jailed. Or gone, no matter how.

All quiet on the eastern front.
For now, at least.
I am thankful.
Thank you, everyone, for the HHW vibes!
From John:
Hated Last Tango too. But I love Cries snd Whispers. Very depressing though.
All quiet on the eastern front.
For now, at least.
I am thankful.
Thank you, everyone, for the HHW vibes!
DR IRIS my sister and her husband are visiting their daughter and her husband and baby in Point Of Rocks.*******
I just sent a message but no reply yet.
I am finally reading A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin.
All quiet on the eastern front.
For now, at least.
I am thankful.
Thank you, everyone, for the HHW vibes!
Watching Nevada Smith. Steve McQueen, Brian Keith. (Funny that tonight’s other Western had Sebastian Cabot.)
