Well, you've read the notes, the notes had inspiration but then inspiration struck and now inspiration is picketing, and now it is time for you to post until the inspired cows come home. The cows won't cross the picket line.
-
And the word of the day is: INDURATE!
-
And a very happy haineshisway.com birthday to former dear reader Stuart, brother to former dear reader Jay, and to frasherd, whoever that is.
-
Yes, whatever has happened to Stuart and Jay? Or, is that have happened? These verb tenses are so peculiar around here.
-
And the word of the day is: INDURATE!
The dog was so INDURATE about being housebroken that Josie regularly found it had URINATED on her carpets.
-
Good morning, all! The ghost was quiet last night, and I slept late. I will shortly wend my way down to the recording office and then join Ms Alison Fox for the matinee of INDIAN BLOOD, which feautures our dear friend Rebecca Luker. Jack Gilpin is playing opposite Rebecca, and I haven't seen him since we worked on TONIGHT AT 8:30 for the Williamstown Theatre Festival. It should be a lovely afternoon.
I never did find the Cecil Sharp book, so I hope the NYPL has a copy.
Former DR Jay has written to me that atr some point he will return, but I've stopped believing him. I hope to be pleasantly surprised.
Former DR Stuart left the board because he felt there were several anti-semitic comments being thrown around, one comment directed at him, by one of our DRs. I miss both of them.
-
Happy Birthday DR STUART.
-
I found the five pounds that DR CILLA LIZ lost.
LOL....DRMBARNUM still thinks that the people who talk to him when he takes Bosco for a walk are interested in the DOG!
-
Sunday....Sunday.....more Read O Rama.....oh well....
-
I found the five pounds that DR CILLA LIZ lost.
So have i!!!
-
Happy Birthday DR STuart...
-
Ann lovely pictures of the dresses... I hope everything turns out well
-
Has anyone else tried JMK's trivia question? I finally got all but one of the sub-questions. Wondering if anyone will actually get the whole thing.
-
Heck, i found the five pounds before anyone even lost 'em.
-
Strange day yesterday... Ran some errands and started sorting through some folders that a freinds daughter got into and proceeded to dump them out all over and they got mixed up with genealogy data I ahd not entered yet... Oh well, they always say double check your data...
-
Good day one and all!!
-
Good morning!
Slept the night in cool comfort. Mother Nature truly smiled down on the Carolinas yesterday.
Already heating back up today. By 9:30, it had already reached the high that we got yesterday (71). But right now, my house is still in cool-down mode, so I'm enjoying it.
-
Since I have a slate of new TV shows to watch tonight (including DEADWOOD, ENTOURAGE, RENO 911 and GREY'S ANATOMY which will be new to me), I'll give this afternoon over to THE AVIATOR. I haven't seen the film since seeing it in the theater. I've read bad things about the transfer, but I'm eager to see for myself what it looks like.
-
I would love to watch another MR. MOTO film, but I suspect I'll opt instead of another WILD WILD WEST episode while I'm preparing and eating lunch. Then on to THE AVIATOR.
-
I found the five pounds that DR CILLA LIZ lost.
LOL....DRMBARNUM still thinks that the people who talk to him when he takes Bosco for a walk are interested in the DOG!
Feel free to keep them, or pass them on to someone else
-
I seem to be all alone....so I think I will get started with my day. I haven't slept this late in ages. It felt really good.
-
Heading outside to mow the front yard now. Then back in to prepare lunch.
WBBL.
-
Sunday morning greetings!
I found the five pounds that DR CILLA LIZ lost.
How is it that so many of us have found the same five pounds? I have discovered that being an information-waitress only one day a week has made my worklife much more sedentary.
-
Happy Birthday DR Stuart.
DR Ann those dresses looked so nice on you. And i really love the one you want to order online.
-
I, too, miss dear reader Jay, but he's never coming back, and the reasons for that are, in my opinion (IMO, in Internet lingo), silly and wrong. As to Stuart, whom I liked very much, we hashed through what happened but he could not move past it, which is a shame since no one here meant any harm.
-
Thanks to all and one (and also one and all) for the kind responses. Penny, I've always been somewhat self-concious about my shoulders, but I just fell in love with that dress and am determined to wear it. If I have to skip a few servings of dessert, so be it!
-
No! You have gorgeous shoulders! And a dress that shows them off is perfect for your special day. The Wedding is all about the Bride - whatever makes you feel special and beautiful and worthy of all the attention is the order of the day!! Oh, BOY!!! Shopping for a wedding dress!!! (I wore so many beautiful gowns in various operas and operettas, and especially in Doll's Life - maybe that's why I never married???)
-
Anyway, that dress in the "headless bride" pic looked lovely on you - the long neck, despite no head, and those slammin' shoulders! And the embroidery on the fabric looked pretty special. The train seems long - detachable or does it "bustle" up?
-
I believe that a large part of why I went into showbiz was all those beautiful costumes! and embroidered fabrics! and trains! Big Skirts! low bodices! Then I spent so much of my working life in Aldonza's rags...
-
I still miss the blood red brocade, all hand-beaded, that I wore in a scene in Doll's Life -- after a few weeks in LA pre-Broadway tryout, they took it off me and put it on Betsy! She was, after all, the Star...
-
I remember that Harold Prince, himself, came to my dressing room with a very serious face to tell me they were going to use the dress on Betsy - I guess they expected a scene or something... I told him, laughing, that I had been waiting to notice that my dress belonged on the star...
-
waiting for THEM to notice, I mean...
-
Ah, Page 2! maestro, a Tango!
Anyway - the dress looked much better on me....
-
The "headless" dress was very pretty great detail on the bodice and the skirt. The train could bustle up, but we just let it go loose to try it on. I hadn't realized how heavy those formal dresses can be! I can only imagine being on stage under hot lights in one of those for long hours. I've always loved beautiful dresses too, Penny. Since the costumes I get to wear are usually chorus-girl simple, I decided my wedding day was the perfect time to indulge :)
-
DR Ann - Thanks for sharing the photos of your wedding dress shopping trip! Such an exciting time. I like the online dress very much.
I bought my wedding dress off the rack for under $50 while shopping for a dress for my matron of honor (my only attendant). It looked a lot like the white dress Princess Leia's wearing when we first meet her in Star Wars: A New Hope.
-
Anyway - the dress looked much better on me....
Well, we knew that, DR PennyO! Congrats, by the way, on getting the commission to do the workshop.
-
Thanks to all and one (and also one and all) for the kind responses. Penny, I've always been somewhat self-concious about my shoulders, but I just fell in love with that dress and am determined to wear it. If I have to skip a few servings of dessert, so be it!
It is gorgeos on you ...
-
Contemplating on the idea of doing some writing...
Local public telly is broadcasting all the Bismarck eppies from Antiques Roadshow.. I might write and listen...
still sorting... I have found a few interesting items...
-
Congrats Penny on the workshop commission. I hope it goes well.
-

Did you ever steal costumes like Patti LuPone? ;D
-
Well, off to box up stuff. :P
-
Gee George, have you found anything interesting while boxing things up?
-
Errr George, you missed a cd over there on the counter.... < Grin!! >
-
Dear Esteemed, rested, restored, rejuvenated, and ravishing BK --
Huzzah to you, for taking yesterday to spend on yourself. A very important thing for everyone to do now and then!! And don't worry about those strikers outside of the Living Room....Inspiration always was unpredictable and fickle at times.
-
Former DR Stuart left the board because he felt there were several anti-semitic comments being thrown around, one comment directed at him, by one of our DRs. I miss both of them.
I personally can not think of a less judgemental, more open and friendly environment than BK's Living Room here at HHW. To say that we are an incredibly eclectic and diverse group would be an understatement. But all are human, and valued, and welcome. Our own dear BK even extends open arms, a big smile, and Orange Chicken to those of us who fall E & T for long spells.
My god....in my own circle of immediate family, we are comprised of male, female, white, black, hispanic, straight, gay, christian, jewish, buddhist, ...... It is wonderful diversity.....just like the Living Room here.
-
Happy HHW Birthday to former DR Stuart! :D
-
Gee George, have you found anything interesting while boxing things up?
Well (shh...don't tell BK!), while moving boxes that have been in my extra bedroom since before I moved here (two and a half years ago), I found my autographed copy of "Benjamin Kritzer!" ::) I've had "Kritzerland" and "Kritzer Time" out on my shelf wondering where the first book is, but it had been stored in a box and I didn't remember which one. No wonder, because that particular box turned out to be at the back of my room, behind all the other boxes, at the bottom of the stack of boxes. All three now reunited and next to my autographed copy of "Rewind." ;D
-
Errr George, you missed a cd over there on the counter.... < Grin!! >
Sadly, this is all too true. ;)
-
Well...back to boxing up stuff. :-|
-
I remember that movie 14 Hours. I saw that movie when I was a kid. Saw it on TV like a morning matinee. I always like that movie. I don't think I had ever seen it since. I might get a kick out.
But if memory serves wasn't Jeffrey Hunter in the movie as the jumper or did he play another role?
-
Jeffrey Hunter plays an onlooker who falls for another onlooker, Debra Paget. The man on the ledge is Richard Basehart.
-
I shall shortly be on my way to the Wood of Holly to lunch - where I do not know, oh, no, I do not know AT THIS TIME.
By the time I get there or by the time I get to Phoenix I'll know.
I've jogged and have been slaving over a rewrite for a Brain scene. I've got the scene part done and now I'm trying to finish the lyric for the replacement song. That is slow going, but I'm getting there. It's much more of a musicalized scene now and I'm much happier with it and am happy that faux 50s number is gone.
-
Now, let's get some postin' goin' on, shall we?
-
Ole everybody, my name's Louise. What's yours?!?!?!
Ah, I miss Stuart too. He is a great guy, and I wish him a Happy happy birthday.
Good vibes to all and one and one and all. Today is a day of trying to get rid of stuff-- not easy for me. BUT I am making some progress.
I'm glad inspiration has struck and not lightning.
I'm off to see what else I can get rid of, but I'll check back later.
-
I remember THE FOURTEEN HOURS also from when it would play on Dialing for Dollars or some other weekday afternoon movietime...I loved when I was a kid...so dramatic and all...but I caught it on TV just a year ago or so and it seemed, well, wildly overacted to the point that I could barely sit through it.
On the flip side, I am right this moment watching another favorite from my childhood..TWO TICKETS TO BROADWAY! I love Tony Martin and it is interesting to see Janet Leigh with some meat on her bones! She looks good! And two of my interviewees..Anne Kimbell and Angela Stevens show up in tiny roles along with lovely Joi Lansing...and oh, that Tony Martin!!!
-
Got the yard mowed even as the temperatures comtinued to build. It's 80 now, and that wonderful cool air is now a fleeting memory.
-
I saw TWO TICKETS TO BROADWAY a few weeks ago having never seen the entier things before. It stuck me as Howard Hughes deciding he wanted an MGM musical at his studio, and since he didn't have any musical talent to compare to the artists at MGM, he just borrowed what he needed from them. Not a great musical but a fascinating look at what happened to talent when it wasn't at a studio that nurtured and protected it.
-
I also saw FOURTEEN HOURS on TV many decaades ago and was absolutely rvieted by it. I can't wait to get this new DVD when it becomes available.
-
YEAH!!!! My nephew is here....he's jhvw!
-
I began my afternoon of viewing with another WILD WILD WEST episode. The leading villain looked so familiar, but I couldn't quite place him. At first I thought it was Keith Michell, but I knew that it wasn't. Couldn't wait for the credits to come up to learn it was Don Francks of FINIAN'S RAINBOW fame. Yvonne Craig was the femme fatale, and Richard Jaeckel was the evil second in command. Really enjoyed this episode about a band of super-assassins.
-
Hello everybody, I'm new here. I'm sure you all know my aunt, Cillaliz. I'm pretty new to the whole forum thing but it looks like alot of fun. I'm looking forward to getting involved.
-
Then I put in THE AVIATOR. I didn't see anything wrong with the transfer. I wonder if critics of the DVD realized that Scorsese's color scheme for the first 1/3 of the movie was deliberately meant to resemble the old Kodachrome color of early color photo photography. After Hughes crashes in the beet field, the color transforms into the lush three-strip Technicolor look of the rest of the picture.
I was still terribly bothered by the horribly sloppy time continuity problems with Hughes' involvement with Hepburn and other Hollywood beauties, and I still insist Cate Blanchette just wasn't beautiful enough to be Katharine Hepburn despite her accurate vocal inflections and carriage.
A phone call interrupted my screening, so I still have about 40 minutes more of the movie to watch.
-
Welcome new dear reader jhvw! Jump right in; the water's fine.
-
JH - FYI DR means Dear Reader, and E and T means Errant and Truant ....glad you're here
-
Welcome, new DR jhvw! Looking forward to meeting you, and introducing you and your aunt and DR Jane, to my DH (dear husband) Richard in NYC soon.
-
Hi Ginny, looking forward to meeting DH Richard
-
Welcome new DR JHVW, nephew of Cillaliz! We are very happy to have you here!
-
Hi Ginny, looking forward to meeting DH Richard
Shall we plan a Thursday trek to the Cloisters and the neighborhood of DRs TPunk and Rodzinski?
-
Here's another welcome for new DR jhvw!!
As a former Dear Reader used to say, Welcome to the Cookie Jar! What flavor are you??
(I have no idea what that really means, but the "Cookie Jar" reference is from the musical Anyone Can Whistle ;))
-
I'll be finishing THE AVIATOR when I return to viewing. If there is time, I'll watch the next MR. MOTO in the box. If not, perhaps the Winter Olympics figure skating finals for the ladies.
-
And now, off to clean the guest bath.
WBBL.
-
I finished boxing up most of my musicals on CD (I say "most" because my niece has a couple). I have eight boxes...of just musicals! ;D
I'll probably have just as many boxes of all my other CDs. Then, it's on to my DVDs. After that, I'll take them to the storage unit and that'll be it for today.
My mom is making dinner tonight (I don't know what), and I have to drive my niece. But that's not until 6:00 or so, so I've still got time.
-
No! You have gorgeous shoulders! And a dress that shows them off is perfect for your special day. The Wedding is all about the Bride - whatever makes you feel special and beautiful and worthy of all the attention is the order of the day!! Oh, BOY!!! Shopping for a wedding dress!!! (I wore so many beautiful gowns in various operas and operettas, and especially in Doll's Life - maybe that's why I never married???)
Probably, because there wasn't anyone worthy of you!
-
Shall we plan a Thursday trek to the Cloisters and the neighborhood of DRs TPunk and Rodzinski?
Sounds like a plan. I talked to DR jhvw about it and he's up for it. Then we see Drowsy Chaperone that night. We'd like to spend some time hanging out in Chelsea and the Village at some point.
-
Thanks for the welcome! I guess I'll tell you a little about me. I'm about to turn 23, I'm still working my way through college. My aunt was VERY kind to invite me to New York with her so I'll actually get to meet some of you. I'm really looking forward to it. Where I live there is pratically no culture, music, or arts to speak of. Pretty boring. Humm..not exactly sure what to throw out there for you guys so I guess I'll come back later.
-
DR Cillaliz, did you take the trip you needed to take to do what you had to do at an airline ticket office?
-
Did you ever steal costumes like Patti LuPone? ;D
Who would want to steal Patti LuPone?
[/b]
-
Our nice neighbor across the street just brought us 3 lovely fresh, homegrown tomatoes. DS Rob and I are going to have bacon & tomato sandwiches - we'd have BLT's but we don't have any L.
-
Mmm Patti Lupone - a voice that shatters steel.
-
DR Cillaliz, did you take the trip you needed to take to do what you had to do at an airline ticket office?
Yup! Yesterday I drove to Sioux Falls, went to the ticket counter and within about 3 minutes had the ticket. We're on different airlines but I think American and United are both at the same terminal at LaGuardia. I've got it arranged so if everything is on time. I arrive 8 minutes before DR jhvw and on the return his plane leaves 20 minutes before mine. That way we can go to and from the airport together.
-
Welcome indeed to DR jhvw.
-
Happy Birthday Stuart
I miss the Brothers Soloway but appreciate their reasons. Some of us just choose to deal with situations in other ways.
-
Probably, because there wasn't anyone worthy of you!
Oh, honey, how you talk!
-
Welcome, jhvw. Nice to have another young 'un join the discussions. You lucky boy, to go to NY with Cillaliz! I know you'll love it! I envy you - I'm in a Noo Yawk frame of mind...
-
Steal the costumes? well, I have to confess to having taken one pair of shoes I had worn for over a hundred performances. I still have them, all these years later. They are now the Ruby Slippers I have onstage, down left, in every performance of Jewish Thighs...
Plus, I took a petticoat. I wanted to buy my wigs and that red dress... never heard of again after that show closed. sigh...
-
Penny O - Did I tell you I ordered my very own copy of Jewish Thighs on Broadway? I hadn't realized it was on Amazon until George mentioned having you sign his copy. So I'm anxiously awaiting it's arrival
-
Happy Birthday DR Stuart....just in case you're lurking
-
"Sunday, sweet Sunday, with nothing to do......" Well, not exactly nothing. DP Kerry and I have both managed to sort through some stuff and put it out to our curb, for our quarterly "solid waste pickup." That way, the city makes it magically disappear this coming week sometime.
-
A big welcome to new DR jhvw !!
I'm always fascinated by some of the acronyms (or anagrams, or whatever the hell they are) user-names that folks come up with. And 2 of the most puzzling at the moment to me are, Cillaliz , and jhvw . I guess it is possible that the latter (nephew) maybe drives a small german car, but beyond that I'm stumped.
Oh dear, stuck again between a conundrum and a cul-de-sac !
-

Thanks for the enlightenment Cilla (is it allowed to shorten your name??)
-
OH MY !
I started a page.........I don't think I've ever done that before :)
-
I also just thought that dear Esteemed BK probably has a tale about the Page and the Randy Vicar...... but we won't go there.
-
My name is my initials and yes, I drive a small german car. It's my baby. A 76 gold beetle.
-
You started a page, now you should start a dance!!!!
-
Yes, you can call me Cilla
-
The cats want me to fix dinner so I must go....laters
-
Happy Birthday Stuart
I miss the Brothers Soloway but appreciate their reasons. Some of us just choose to deal with situations in other ways.
At the time of his departure, I tried to convince dR Stuart he was being overly sensitive and that the post was an attempt at humor. He didn't buy it. I still believe he was wrong.
I'm back from A R Gurney's beautiful memory play INDIAN BLOOD. The cast was excellent, Rebecca sang a refrain of "You'd Be So Nice to Come home To," and I laughed a lot and got a bit teary at the conclusion. I liked it quite a lot and recommend it to everyone.
-
My name is my initials and yes, I drive a small german car. It's my baby. A 76 gold beetle.
Welcome, DR jhvw! DR Sandra would ask you if you like diet cherry Coke, DR Jose would ask if you are single, and DR MBarnum is too shy to ask if you are by any chance a bodybuilder? I'll ask it for him. I hope your answer is no to all the above. Otherwise, you'll never get out alive.
-
I don't drink diet drinks, I am not single, and I wish I was a bodybuilder hehe. Truthfully, I'm pretty lazy and spend way too much time on the computer.
-
Hello my friends! How I have missed you all.
Elmore, how is your dad?
-
Good to see DR Vixmom on the board. I hope this is better week etc. Positive thoughts all round Deb.
-
The Vixter finished her run of You're A Good Man Charlie Brown yesterday, and after church today she had rehearsal for her musical review which opens Thursday and closes Friday....and now she is at her Charlie Brown cast party
-
After Vixmom's initial onslaught at HHW with 2000 posts in a day and a half, I thought I would never rmiss her. Yep. I was wrong.
-
Hello my friends! How I have missed you all.
Elmore, how is your dad?
Surviving! Better than he was, but not great. I spoke to him an hourt ago. He's got more of his voice back, and he seems to be waiting for whatever comes next down the pike.
-
I'm in for a quick vist before Vixdad takes me out for a quick meal and light fixture shopping (our hall ceiling light lost its life to the flood)
Things are finally dried ourt... of course half the sheet rock is missing from the upstairs bath and the floor is all buckled and the down stairs bath has no ceiling or wallpaper and the laudrey room is minus one wall... but the four huggr dehumidifires and their accompanying fans have gone away and it is no longer 3000 degrees in the house

I will! Unless I have to return to Ohio.
-
Elmore,
Glad to hear your father seems to be getting a bit stronger. Continued Vibes to you and your family
-
Vixmom, glad to see you again. Hope you'll have more time to come back and see us
-
Oh, I missed DR Vixmom again!
-
Back from lunch and whatnot, must now try to write a bit more, although I'm happy with what I did this morning.
Unlike Tomovoz, I don't appreciate the reasons for Jay's leaving us, nor do I appreciate the fact that he, in fact, never owned up to said reasons in private e-mails with folks. I think it a sad day when a dear reader allows him or herself to be influenced by a disgruntled person. The disgruntled person gets over the disgruntlement but the dear reader continues to stay away.
And I'm with elmore re Stuart - take a few days, but come on, no one was trying to be a true anti semite or I would toss them off this board so fast it would make people's heads spin. I miss them both, but, you know, oh, well.
-
Actually, my dad's a bit like your house!
Elmore, I am sorry to hear that your father has no wallpaper.

DR TCB -- It never ceases to amaze and amuse me, the strange and convoluted way that your brain can read something, and then get a strange and wonderful interpretation to what you've read.
I know.........it's a gift! Nu ?

You are correct, Music Guy, it is a gift. And I continue to deny that it has anything to do with Daddy dropping me on my head when I was young.
-
Welcome to jhvw! I too am a newbie. And thank you, Cillaliz, for explaining the origin of your name.
-
Cilla, as you mentioned in an earlier post, yes,
American and United are both at the same terminal at LaGuardia.
We're looking forward to Fred's next Sunday and the October bash coming up.
Even though I can't take off work in October to play with you in Chelsea and the Village I think you will have a very good time down here. Check out the Forbes Gallery (5th Avenue and 12th Street) if you get a chance. A nice small and FREE museum with some wonderful old games. The Teddy Roosevelt Birthplace is on 20th Street between 5th Avenue and Broadway. There isn't a lot to it but it's a fun place in which to poke your head(s). Depending on when you're down here there might be a Greenmarket (Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday in Union Square Park). I know that Ginny wants to go back to Chelsea Market on 9th Avenue between 15th and 16th Streets. That will provide much fun and amazing food choices.
It's always good to see Deb posting even if it's only for a quick one. Hope you enjoy The Fantasticks on Sunday. We can discuss it at Fred's, between eating the sumptuous food and playing with the delightful Corgi dogs. The Corgi is the official dog of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. I wonder if that will change when/if Charles becomes King or when William takes over.
Enough babbling. I can do this tomorrow morning as I eat my oatmeal with peaches and raisins.
Not to forget, we are also very excited about the arrival of Mr. Tom Guest and his ever lovin' Colin!
-
Thanks for the suggestions. Even if you can't take off work to play with us, I still hope we'll see you at some point while we're there
-
...I know that Ginny wants to go back to Chelsea Market on 9th Avenue between 15th and 16th Streets. That will provide much fun and amazing food choices....
Right you are, DR Ben, DH Richard and I are planning to make a day of it, probably on Tuesday or Wednesday. I've also recently become aware, near there, of General Theological Seminary at 9th Ave. & 20th St.
-
Oh, yes, I will see you. I may attend Drowsy Chaperone on Thursday evening also. I've seen it twice but I would love to see it again. We shall see.
-

-
I'm a bit tiiiiiired right now. Done writing for the day. I now have a complete draft of the new song, but some of it needs smoothing out, especially the end, which needs a good strong final line.
-
Any ticket-buying advice on that one?
If you and Richard want house seats, I'll call Tony nominee Danny Burstein for you!

DR Vixmom is back! HI, DR Vixmom!
In my summer sorting, I've found some origami paper and stuff that I'd like to send to The Vixter. Could you PM me your address?
-
Thank you Ginny!!!
-
Today is my parents 51st wedding anniversary. And reading back I see I missed TomovOz's dad's 100th birthday!!
Belated birtday wishes to him
-
Happy 51st anniversary to the parents of DR Vixmom! Did you have a celebration?
My mother is co-chair of her retirement community's anniversary committee. They help plan and execute parties for milestone anniversaries - those ending in zero and five.

Mom's "seizures' have ended.... I picked up the material that accompanying the drugs prescribed to her and read side effects may include... muscle spasms, disorientation, dizziness, severe abdominal pain, headaches, weakness, nausea.... in short all the problems that have been plaguing her since she left the hospital the first time... they gave her CAT scans , numerous MRI's, isolated her and not one of the bloody doctors took the precaution of checking into the side effects of the latest wonder drug that their pharamceutical rep was hawking!?
So she stopped taking the medicine and she is getting better
still very weak and in pain from the shingles but seizure free

Happy 51st anniversary to the parents of DR Vixmom! Did you have a celebration?
My mother is co-chair of her retirement community's anniversary committee. They help plan and execute parties for milestone anniversaries - those ending in zero and five.
We didn,t because my Mom just wasn't up to it. I brought them a little cake and gift certificates to the local Ruby Tuesdays which my mom is partial to. It is only a couple of miles up the road and they do ''curbside takeout" and they gave me a menu so mom can choose what she likes, order it and dad can go and pick it up.
-
Last year for my parents 50th we three klids chipped in a bought them a trip to New Orleans, where they always wanted to go... unfortunately New Orleans was underwater by time the trip was suppoed to happen so they never got to go.
-
elmore, you should have a priority package tomorrow or Tuesday. Let me know when it arrives.

Well, given the circumstances, that was very appropriate and I'm sure they appreciated it. I'm glad you had the tenacity to intervene in your Mom's treatment, too, and that she's on the road to recovery.
What are the chances we'll see you and The Vixter in the City the first week of October?

I am not sure yet. When the school calender comes out I will see what her schedule is... if possible I plan to take a day and come in and see you whether or not she is with me. What are the exact days you will be there so I can mark my calendar?l

Cilla! You bought the book!!! Oh, how very nice of you! Yep, every once in awhile, someone buys a copy off Amazon or Barnes and Noble.com. It's always such a welcome surprise! PS - another of my 2nd amendment bud's says you should go to NRA.org, re: your elderly "gun nut who reads books" case. Frequently, they will have their legal dept do research for you, and write amicus briefs, sometimes they have the Big Guns (you should pardon the expression) call you with research/funding.
-
I have been catching up... Ann I liked all the dresses but especially the online dress....
For my wedding I had a hoop skirt....I had always wanted to wear one ever since I saw Gone with the Wind when I was 9.
I loved it! That was back when JC Penney still had a in-store Bridal Department but oh my how much less expensive than those pricey Bridal Shoppes with their stuck up assistants.
-
Vixmom! howdy, gal. Oy, your tsurris! At least YOU had the good sense to read about the medication your mother's doctors couldn't be bothered to read. Or, they read it, but just wanted to "rule out" other problems, via scans, expensive tests... they DO have rent to pay, insurance to buy... rack up those big bills! I am no fan of most doctors...
-
Penny O I saw some one congratulating you for some acheivement but my addled brain didn;t grasp it... please share your good news again for my benefit.
-
Except, of course, the guys with the syringes full of Botox - I'm gonna get me some!
-
enough of this growing old gracefully... the hair can stay - the wrinkles between my eyebrows gotta go!

I don't know... short term memory loss... may be some literary workshops I'm doing in Redmond WA at the end of the month, to help publicize my reading on Sept. 2... Redmond Arts Commission MAY give me some $$$ for the classes. Or not. But I'm guessing Yes..

Cool beans!!!
-
Yeah, I'm thinking that's the secret of happiness: figure out stuff you love to do, then get someone to pay you to do it. Love teaching the workshops. Always did. The captive audience, in rapt attention... not expecting to actually be entertained... the surprise and shock that it's FUNNY stuff... the incredulity when they realize EVERYONE is just making it up, and they can too...

I have been told that there is an NRA lawyer already interested, but I haven't heard from anyone yet. Thanks for the support.

I want the same guy to take a little outta here and dispose of it properly
-
AND I'll be reading from my book and, hopefully, signing copies they will have purchased, AND I'll be collecting private clients for after the class, whom I'll gently nudge toward completion of their manuscripts, poetry, movie scripts, kids' book, whatever - and my grant ap to the Arts Commission asked for funding to pay for up to two hours of my private time with up to six individual students... so we'll see whose dream i can set a fire under! I LOVE THIS!!
-

Proper disposition might be hooters on the less voluptously-endowed among us...

I see we've passed the crucial point, so I'm off to bed. Is anyone watching this Showtime series BROTHERHOOD besides me? It's sort of an Irish SOPRANOS set in Providence, Rhode Island, and the cast is quite wonderful. It's certainly more focused than THE SOPRANOS, which I love, and I'm becoming quite addicted to it.
-
Ah, a warm Sunday evening, both kitties are doing well, preseason football has begun -- All's right with the world!

Richard and I arrive on Monday, October 2; Jane arrives on Tuesday or Wednesday (I think); and Cillaliz and her nephew late Wednesday afternoon. We're all staying until the weekend, I think. Richard and I fly out late Sunday afternoon. Is MBarnum coming in for this trip?
-
Cillaliz -- I am glad to see that your nephew has joined our merry (marry, Mary) band.
Welcome DR jhvw![/b]

-
Penny sounds great. I'm sure you'll provide tons of inspiration. I'd love to see you in action.
-
Has Ann caught up yet?
[/i]
-
...and this is your friendly travel agent, signing off for the night!
-
Gotta go. night all

Thanks all for welcoming him. I'm glad he's here too.

COmpleted THE AVIATOR. I do love the sequence with Hughes pulling himself together and making his case at the hearings. A triumphant moment for him, and important for the viewer knowing as we do how sadly he ended up.
-
Next came THANK YOU, MR. MOTO. I didn't like it as much as the first MOTO, and I didn't think the transfer was quite as good for this one too - grainier and not quite as sharp.
Also, the movie really wasn't much of a mystery, more of a crime drama.
-
I had the DVR set to record DEADWOOD while I watched GREY'S ANATOMY, but ABC showed the pilot tonight, and I had no interest in seeing it again so soon after just seeing it when it was shown on Thursday night about a month ago. Disappointing.
So, I flipped back to DEADWOOD, stopped the DVR from recording it, and sat riveted by the tense doings on this episode. Oh, the upcoming face-off between Hurst's factions against the rest of the camp has really built uip tension to the breaking point. It has been hard for me to sit still due to the escalating violence going on for these past few weeks.
Terrific drama.
-
ENTOURAGE had some fun sequences with Martin Landau playing a fabled Hollywood producer who lives with his memories, but who pulls out of his hat a surprise script that interests our main character. Nice episode.
-
RENO 911 had some good laughs tonight. My favorite sequence involved a singing preacher who's actually a dope dealer. SOme of the tunes did have me laughing.
-
And since SOUTH PARK was repeating the Mel Gibson-PASSION OF THE CHRIST episode "The Passion of the Jew" which I never saw, I watched it. Very wicked jabs at Mel Gibson that made me laugh a lot.
-
The DVR is recording the Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie MR & MRS. SMITH tonight on HBO-HD, so I'll probably watch that tomorrow. I didn't see it at the theater nor did I rent/buy the DVD. Should be interesting to finally get to see it.
-
It's after midnight here, so I'm off to bed.
Good night!
-
It's not past midnight here...........in fact it is barely past 9:00, but my pupick is pooped for today, and I ain't gonna fight it. So I'm going to fall over early and collapse. (Jesus, maybe I can start eating dinner at 4:00 and then go to bed at 7:30 !! )
Nighty Night DRs.......... sleep ghostless, DR elmore..........and sweet dreams and dark chocolate to Esteemed BK .

Mmm Patti Lupone - a voice that shatters steel.
Horseracing. ::)

My name is my initials and yes, I drive a small german car. It's my baby. A 76 gold beetle.
What a coinkydink! I used to have a '76 orange Super Beetle! I loved that car, but it died a slow death. :'( Fortunately, I wasn't stuck somewhere out in the middle of nowhere. It just wouldn't start up anymore.
-
Welcome back, Vixmom...if only for a moment. :)
And Happy 51st Anniversary to your parents!! ;D
-
Sadly, this is all too true. ;)
George, I am glad I could point out the errant CDs!!
Glad your book are all reunited... I bet they were lonely ;)
-
I had a good afternoon of writing. It felt good to let my imagination wander...
-
Welcome jhvw!
-
Vixmom, I am glad to see you back!! You have been missed...
Glad to hear that Vixter had a successful run.
-
Glad to hear your mother is doing better vixmom

Congratulations to Vixmom's parents on 51 years of marriage...

My amusement tonight....
STrategy of war on a soap message boards...
One fanbase against several others....
Funny one group plays and acts the fools only to be outwitted by the quieter groups. Quite funny at times.... especially when they get in a corner and they can't get out.

Do you get the Comedy Central cable tv channel?
-

I hate it when that happens!
-
The show is about a fictional Reno, Nevada police squad. It's like a camera crew is following them everywhere and they're incredibly stupid and incompetent. Also, the script is improvised. They have an outline of what should happen, but their actual dialog is all improvised. It's one of the few improvised shows that I think is very good.
-

I dont have cable. I refuse to pay 60 a month for basic and they dont even have comedy central, soapnet nor amc!
-
Gratuitous Post # 203!

I finally now found the connecting ancestor and want to imput the data into the database but I cannot find it.... I hvae one more place to tear apart....

What would be the point?? I also get my Internet access through cable. I would not ever want to go back to dial-up. I don't know about DSL, but I love my cable Internet. :)

DR Laura, In you avvie, do you still have Joshie?
Joshie was a foster kitten from the pound a few years back. He was feral when we got him, and we tamed him. He decided, however, that he did not wish to be adopted and misbehaved at Petsmart. They called me to come get him, and he's been here ever since. He is my sweetheart.
DR Sandra's avatar, Sasha, had a similar story. She came to us semi-feral with a litter of kittens. The kittens were adopted, but Sasha decided she did not wish to be adopted. She did not misbehave, but hid in her cage at the pet store, so no one would look at her.
-
Glad they still have a good home Laura!
