Thank you, DR DAW - no updates yet this morning from that front, so I'm assuming things are still progressing as desired.

FROM YESTERDAY NOTES
RE: PRINTING PAGES
I used a photocopier. So no drivers are necessary. I've been printing files of all sorts to photocopiers for almost ten years and I have never seen a pdf print so badly.
I find it weird that a program for MAC is so bsd
-
TOD
CD With the advent of ITunes and the IPod there is no cd that i listen to repeatedly. I have some in playlist and most of them time it's either on shuffle play or the DJ
-
TOD
DVD
It all depends
but recently it has been Blade Runner multi disc set on Blu Ray
and The Lord Of The Rings Epic extended version
-
I have so many DVDs and more arriving every week, thus it's not easy to re-watch them when there is so much new stuff to view.
That said, I've probably watched THE GODFATHER more than any other DVD.
CDs: Probably RAGTIME and the soundtrack from ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA.
LP: Soundtrack for RUN OF THE ARROW [Crack that Universal nut, BK]
-
DR DRUXY I saw that SYNOCHE NEW YORK....or whatever....DVD but I didn't buy it....let me know what it's like.
-
Play reading vibes for DR MICHAEL S.
I don't think the Labourteaux brothers are related by blood.

TOD:
DVD most played - probably 1953 Titanic and/or Attack of the 50 Foot Woman
CD most played - Pippin OBC or Guy Haines or Man of La Mancha, BSM revival
LP most played Valley of the Dolls soundtrack or Annette The Story of My Teens and the 16 Songs that tell it

The Hollywood Show has some interesting people showing up including:
Billie Hayes - I haz spoken!
Lucianna Paluzzi

Have we discussed the idea of Johnny Depp as Witchiepoo, per this article

Johnny Depp as Witchiepoo is as wrong as Johnny Depp as Carol Channing.

I guess the workers are now working every Saturday. Seven-fifteen hammering just enough to wake everyone up, then they stop. I am going over there shortly because I've HAD it with these inconsiderate, disrespectful ASSHOLES.

Michael S
Does Your Play Have A Name?
I think MONKEY would like to know also

Michael S
Does Your Play Have A Name?
I was originally going to call it "Long Days Journey Into Night By Eugene O'Neill" but I think it would have gotten confused with the other play by that name.

Michael S

Broken legs to Shayne. And Shayne, look at everyone else's answers to the topic - I'm not asking about now - I'm asking about history.
Misread it
so the answer would be: Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music (My Fav), My Fair Lady & Camelot
and the movie would be The Sound of Music

Good morning, all, from Invalid Central! I have no idea what's going on with everyone this week, and I'll try to be au courant ASAP. I won't be online long: I'm waiting for Ron Raines to deliver my diabetes med Metformin and Vicodin and a muscle relaxant from the pharmacy, which my doctor called in last night.
Yesterday was another frustrating day: after dragging myself on Wednesday to the East Side, the damned lab still has not sent the x-rays to my doctor's office to let her see the results, and she's unhappy as well. I believe what I have is a really bad form of sciatica, and I suspect that Doctor Shibani is trying to ascertain if the Vitorin prescribed by my former doctor has precipitated muscle damage in my lower back to bring on the attack.
Onn Thursday night Ron brought over the pain meds from his last round of minor surgery and they've helped me, along with a dose of Nyquil, to actually get a good night's rest.
The high point yesterday was a wonderful visit from our DR Jose, who kindly ran several errands for me, including banking and a grocery run. I am so grateful to him and Ron and all my friends who've offered to give some time to me. And that's where I am this morning.
As to all the DRs, I hope everyone is well. I see much activity going on so~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vibes to All DRs today for their travels, travails, and endeavors! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have a good day, everyone!

thanks for the info DR ELMORE....with continued vibes to you.

Ditto for DR Michael Shayne.
I agree with you about the brothers, but I appreciate DR JoseSPiano finding that pic and posting it.

Good morning!
More heat, more humidity, no rain. (We had a 60% chance of rain yesterday and got nothing. There is a 30% chance today. We'll see.)
-
Thank you, DR ELmore, for keeping us posted on your health matters, and thanks to the friends of DR Elmore for assisting him in this way. I know the last time I was truly sick and couldn't get out, I was SO grateful for friends who brought me medicine and did some shopping for me. I'm certain DR Elmore is blessed to have such loving, loyal friends.

Gypsy -- the musical submitted and selected by one of our directors as one of our two musicals for the 2009-10 season ... a bit of trivia that no one was dying to know, so didn't and wouldn't ask ... just a FYI for this Sat. morning ... a gratuitous post, so to speak ...
-
With nothing on tap to review (should have some things next week), I'll have a weekend to myself. I'd really like to get a couple of Blu-rays watched out of the stack (maybe THE WILD BUNCH next), and I know in the DVD stack I'll be watching A SONG IS BORN with Danny Kaye that I've never seen (I think it's his only starring picture I've never seen).
I also have more VERONICA MARS now that I'm getting close to the end of the first season. There may be four or five more episodes left, but I'm not certain.
-
In know, I know, who is this Mz karen person and why is she wasting precious posting space with gratuitous nothings? ... I may be E and T from the posting at hand a bunch, but you'd be surprised how often I get on to read the notes and try to keep up with the posts ... a dreaded lurker, so to speak ...

DR Laura ~ Are you covered with dust this morning?
-
Oh my, I do hope dear Lar gets well soon... no, make that immediately! Yes, that DR Jose is a sweetheart (based on my experience in NYC when he took a day of his time to walk Case and me around some of the sites -- and of course, introduced me to my first Levain...)
-
GYSPY onstage - whew! That's a lot of Rose who is hard to take.
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And it's a cup of coffee type of morning.
-
GYSPY onstage - whew! That's a lot of Rose who is hard to take.
I've only seen the movie, never onstage -- so I'm interested to see if our little theatre can make it a hit here ....
(it was actually a substitute -- he had submitted Cabaret, but then found out the local college was bringing in the touring Cabaret -- and Murphy's Law -- two weeks before his production slot, so Gypsy it became ...)

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And it's a cup of coffee type of morning.
Were your ears burning? -- I was talking about you -- well, make that posting about you -- Lar, too -- about how we love you...

Sadly, in LA no matter how good your friends are, most will not get in their motor cars and come and help take care of someone who's pulled a muscle or has the flu or whatever. That's been my experience.

DR Michael S - RE: Printing to/via a photocopier - You should still need some sort of printer driver. Was this the first thing you printed from your MacBook (to a photocopier)?
Did the photocopier come up in your listing of available printers? or did you just send it to print "generically"? I know when I've had to pop into a Kinko's and print something from my MacBook, I've always had to select the proper printer/copier, as well as make sure I had a compatible printer driver.

I remembered that I also have not watched next week's NURSE JACKIE episode (provided Showtime on Demand is offering an early look as they have been doing since the show started). I'd like to watch either that or THE FASHION SHOW while I eat lunch.
-
I guess the workers are now working every Saturday. Seven-fifteen hammering just enough to wake everyone up, then they stop. I am going over there shortly because I've HAD it with these inconsiderate, disrespectful ASSHOLES.
And thus began the mysterious disappearance of BK. ;D
-
Wow! It's much later than I thought. I need to head down, check the mail, and get some lunch started.
WBBL.
-
Miss Karen, our dust was a bust.
It pretty much missed us.
-
I figured I'd better take Sugar for a walk while it was the low of "only" 94 degrees. Since this is the coolest it will be until 5:00 tomorrow morning, I need to take advantage of the small window of opportunity!
-
DR Michael S - (Part 3) - Pages isn't really a bad program. However, it seems to be geared more toward presentation type documents - newsletters, basic video presentations, etc. I'm guessing the numerous and repeated formatting commands normally needed for a script may have "confused" things - unless there's a script template included with the program. However, I'm still not sure that should have affected the printout of your PDF.
*Since you're a student and an educator, you can purchase the Student/Educational version of MS Office or Mac. -Well, anyone can purchase that. It's fully functional, just not fully upgradable.
-
Well, now that Cason is helping out so much on Nudie and with Kritzerland, you'd better hang out here.
Yes, sir (as she stands before the Grand Pooh-Pah with a guilty look on her face -- head hung in shame -- after admitting she is one of those reviled lurkers) ...

Hey, Miss Karen -- want a kitten? I have some.
I would love a kitten! BUT Deuce would hate a kitten -- he groups all small, furry, scurrying things in the same family as squirrels -- and is not a happy camper whenever we've brought a cat into his house. He can not understand why we'd want to bring an outside animal inside...

And now it's time for me to get back to some cleaning, and then head back down to "Chez Invalid" for a bit.

~~~Continued Vibes for DR Larry (aka Elmore)!!~~~

Well, I'm so glad the show is over because yesterday, I started to feel a cold coming on. And this morning, I'm in full-ikkyness mode. :P My head hurts, my body hurts and I have to blow my nose all the time. AND I have to go to work today. It's not an option. This is our pay-the-bills-at-the-end-of-the-month time and it HAS to get done. So, I'm going into work to get it done. I know my cold is nothing like what Larry's going through, so please save your vibes for him.
Have a better day than I am, all!
;D

Good morning! I was E&T most of yesterday, so I have been catching up on the nine pages of posts.

There was a great deal of discussion (?) yesterday regarding The Emmys. I didn't see anyone else mention that Chandra Wilson was nominated in the category of "Outstanding Lead Actress In A Miniseries Or A Movie" for her performance in the TV film ACCIDENTAL FRIENDSHIP that was written by our very own, former DR Panni (Anna).

One more!

Whew!

I'm verklempt. I've slowly been transferring old tapes to DVD in hopes of being able to assemble a little compilation for Gabe's Bar Mitzvah. Today I did the tape from his birth through the last Christmas my entire family spent together in SLC, before my Mom died. I had forgotten I had gotten to go through the house I grew up in (not the house we lived in later), and had filmed that. I'm a wreck.

Attention Jrand 58 and Mikey!
Have you boys seen this at Wikipedia?
MYSTERY SOLVED: Actress June Kenney Found and Interviewed -- 1950's 'B' movie actress June Kenney, once lost and now found, has been interviewed by Paul and Donna Parla. Parla has interviewed and rediscovered numerous rare faces in the past from classic science fiction and horrors films. June Kenney was menaced in Bert Gordon's, THE SPIDER (1958) and later became one of Gordon's living dolls in everyone's favorite, ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE (1958). The lovely miss Kenney was also Roger Corman's, TEENAGE DOLL (1957) and SORORITY GIRL (1957). June also joined the group of Corman's memorable VIKING WOMEN (1957)....she was a HOT CAR GIRL (1958) and Jack Hogan's love interest in the William Whitney directed CAT BURGLAR (1961). One of June's co-stars in 1958's, BLOODLUST was Brady Bunch tv dad, Robert Reed. It's been said that June Kenney mysteriously dissapeared from acting in 1963. Some sources site that June Kenney's co-star in Jerry Lewis', THE LADIES MAN, Karyn Kupcinet who died under mysterious circumstances may have been connected to the JFK assasination. June will speak to all of the above and more in her upcoming interview with Paul Parla written by Anthony DiSalvo and Jim Fetters. The June Kenney interview is slated to appear in issue # 73 of the genre popular publication, SCARY MONSTERS MAGAZINE in late 2009.

I was going to post a pseudo-warning to BK about what happened to the last person who mouthed-off to L.A. consturction workers (i.e. June Kenney), when I found that previous tidbit.

I have been in touch with the Humanne Society every day for the last month. I have pretty well decided, that although I could never put another kitty through the pain of being declawed; there are a lot of adult cats who come into the shelter that have been previously declawed. Since Nicky was declawed before I got him, I think it is only fair to him that his new brother or sister also be declawed.
-
Yes, there are adult declawed cats coming into shelters. That's good thinking.

Scary video.

Thanks for the info about the new TORCHWOOD series.
When i asked the question yesterday i was not clear what the new show was. But today it is on the front cover of the Montreal Tv Times, with an article. It will be on m-f for 1hr 15 each night.
I actually still have not finished last season's shows. So i'll need to finish those before i watch these new ones.

Back from The Hollywood Show. I never thought I would say it - I've been going to these shows for many, many years (since they began) and I've done a fair number of them - but today was just depressing. I don't know why, really. Maybe it's the vibe of the new owners and their constant announcements on the PA system. Maybe I've just been to one too many shows - but even in the worst of the Ray Courts years, I never found it depressing, and I always had fun. Oh, these new owners seem to have found a way to get crowds - it was very crowded. They're apparently spending a good deal of money getting the word out, something Ray never did. But it felt like a circus and I can't say I've ever felt that. Less dealers than ever (and two really long-time dealers are done with this show, which is a shame), celebs in every nook and cranny (too many, I hate to say it) including the lobby area - and those poor celebs were not getting any traffic). I just roamed the room a couple of times, talked to the one dealer left that I know, saw a couple of acquaintances, and did have a nice chat with old pals Donny Most and Anson Williams, both, as always, super friendly. Others I noticed were Richard Kiel, George Lazenby, Rosanna Arquette (who doesn't much resemble herself anymore), Shelly Hack (still cute), Alan Young, Martine Beswick (shocking), Luciana Paluzzi (has aged gracefully), Kathy Najimy (who looked like a big ol' sourpuss), Billie Hayes (who always looks the same), Tom Bosley (really ancient-looking), The Fonz, Marion Ross, some younger types from more recent films and TV, Davy Jones (I thought he looked good, but you would NEVER EVER know it was the same guy), Barry Williams, Deborah van Valkenburg. One of the people I was curious to see was Jill Schoelen, who I always thought was very cute - she cancelled though. I wonder if Kenny Kingston, psychic, knew in advance that no one would be at his table - he and Bruce Weitz were stuck in no man's land in the lobby area. Oh, yeah, Bill Daily and Jack Riley and Marcia Wallace were all there. Marcia just looks odd, Bill looks fine, and Jack looks very frail. Edd Byrnes was there (there aren't many that he's missed), Tanya Roberts (lip work - I almost said hi, but didn't think she'd remember me from our being in Racquet together), Ann Robinson (who never changes), Francine York (always there, along with some poor shmuck who might or might not be her husband), Erin Moran (scary), Maud Adams (still looks fine), etc.

Sears was a zoo today. They had 50% extra off of all liquidation clothes. I guess all women like a sale, because the lines were quite long.
-
And shortly I shall be on my way to Mr. Geissman's.
-
I got an interesting looking dvd from the library called PASSENGERS with anne hathaway. It's supposed to be a psychological thriller.
-
Btw, for DRs Jose and MattH, re: Phillip 4 on Y&R
It's so odd seeing him. Because they have him in tight fitting clothes. And compared to nina he looks like a giant. He's like an adonis. But when he was on GL they dressed him down and he did not seem as spectacular.
-
I would only have known a very small handful of the celebrities BK saw today.

DR MattH, or anyone else who watches THE FASHION SHOW i'd be curious to hear what you thought of episode 11 (this thursday's show). What was your order of favorites, who would you want to win and who do you think will win?

I remembered that I wanted to watch GONE WITH THE WIND when I got some free time, so I'm going to watch part I tonight and part II tomorrow.

From JRand:
One of those boys played Nellie's younger brother....
Jose thanks for the photo of the LABORTEAUX brothers all grown up.
DR JRand, on Little House Matthew played Albert, he adopted son of Charles & Laura Ingalls. Patrick played Andy Garvey, son of Merlin Olson’s character Jonathan Garvey. Patrick joined the series a year after his brother did.
DR Jane, you're welcome.
-I'm just wondering how old that "recent" picture is.
On one of the commentaries of JAG, Patrick talked about getting married recently, so maybe it was during the last few years.
He married the assistant producer of Jag. I just looked it up, married in 1998

I'm going to head down now to start GONE WITH THE WIND (upconverted; the Blu-ray doesn't come out until late this fall/early winter).
The first half is about two hours, and after that, I have no idea what I'll watch.
MAMMA MIA comes on HBO tonight, but I have the Blu-ray, so no need to set the DVR for that.

Guess that's it for now.

I was hoping lightning might strike to stop it-- but no such luck!

That truly WOULD have stopped it, DR Kerry, had that happened... it's a DIGITAL pipe organ!! :D
And very controversial in Episcopal circles.

I would not have recognized that as Michael Jackson music.

How is your brother-in-law today, Ginny?

Thanks for asking, DR Laura. Last we heard, he's still pretty groggy, but progressing as expected. Richard and I will stop there on our way home from Lima tomorrow.

Good Afternoon!
Greetings from Verdi Square (72nd & Broadway). I can't tell who is more agressive here: the panhandlers or the pigeons(!!!).

Out here in July, construction starts at 5 a.m.
I thought it was closer to 3:00 AM.

In other news...
The Un-Imaginary Invalid - a.k.a. DR elmore - is doing fine. And by fine, I mean he's in more pain today, and is basically staying in bed instead of sitting at his desk getting his work done. :-\
Still no word from the x-ray lab, but his doctor was able to call in a prescription for some additional meds. -Which, alas, weren't really helping.
He sends his best, and he will return once he can sit at his computer.
*And, don't worry, he still has plenty of other things to bitch about. ;)
-
After I left DR elmore's place... Wander, wander, wander... The usual.
I'm supposed to meet up with some friends who are coming in from Boston, but they ended up leaving Beantown a bit later than planned, so... Wander, wander, wander...

DR TCB thanks so much for the June Kenney info. Scary Monsters Magazine is still on issue #71, I think - the website is difficult to navigate....
I dropped them an email asking if and/or when the interview ran/will run.

MR BK thanks for the Hollywood on the spot dispatch.

DR Jose - thanks for the update on DR Elmore.
You're welcome, DR Ginny. I just wish I had better news to pass on.

Time for me to re-commence my wander, wander, wander...

I knew June was from Boston, and had even found some kiddie pictures of her in her hometown paper back when she did dance recitals and such.....

I am hungry. And it's almost time for COPS.

DR ELMORE was 100% correct. I should have been happy with my DVD of IM WEISSEN ROSSL....but no I had to buy GIUDITTA as well.
Oh dear....the singing is very bad....the staging is bad....the sets are okay....the costumes are ugly....and the music....well if that's good LEHAR, I am DR JOSE's monkey's uncle.

It's been a semi frustrating but productive day. They delivered the replacement mattress and discovered that there was never a center support on the frame when it was installed by the same store 3 1/2 years ago. The deliver guy was pretty ticked off. I found it kind of amusing.
Anyway I went to the store and told my helpful salesman Kyle (he almost always waits on me there) what happened. He brought up the sale in the computer and was more upset than I think I've seen him before. He said he sold me a frame with a center support and was mad that they didn't deliver what he sold. So he went and got what looks like deluxe frame and gave it to me free. Then he told me to sleep on the bed a couple nights and if the box spring isn't perfectly even to call him back and he'll send out a new one.
-
The frustrating part of the day revolves around the fact I can't for the life of me figure out what I did with Callie's meds. I gave it to her upstairs last night and I had the dropper bottle in my hand when I came down stairs this morning. I have no idea where it went from there. I have searched high and low and low and high. I have cleaned rooms where I was this morning... no luck. So, I thought I'll just go get another dropper bottle and fill it from the big bottle I have in th cupboard. Try to find a dropper bottle these days. I've been to 5 stores and still haven't found one. A pharmacist finally gave me a regular bottle and I bought a dropper.
I figured when I came home I'd find the original bottle, but still no luck

There was a great deal of discussion (?) yesterday regarding The Emmys. I didn't see anyone else mention that Chandra Wilson was nominated in the category of "Outstanding Lead Actress In A Miniseries Or A Movie" for her performance in the TV film ACCIDENTAL FRIENDSHIP that was written by our very own, former DR Panni (Anna).
I missed that, thank you. This is exciting news.
Unfortunately, Chandra has some incredible competition.

I did find some good things on sale. My solar lights outside are trashed from the seasons. I found a great clearance sale on them - about $3 a piece so I replaced those. I also found a great sale on pillows and mattress pads so I got some for the new mattress.
The best thing is, I had to tear the whole bed etc apart, so there are no more dust bunnies living under my bed. It's very clean there now.

Our Facebook class went very well this morning and we've been asked to do FB 102 (probably after Labor Day). When I got home, Richard and I had lunch and then went to see the new Harry Potter movie. I had trouble staying awake.
Is that a critique of the film?

Pogue, no that poster guy wasn't there - I think the great dealers are a thing of the past at this show, which is a real shame.
-
Back from Grant's - the book looks fabulousssss - now to proof. He was going very fast so I knew we'd missed a couple of style/format things (when I do e-mails or letters or stuff like that, we always indent on both sides so they're called out) - I've already found two such things and probably will find more. But boy is it sharp-looking.

After we finished, we went and had a bite to eat, then I went to Office Depot and printed out my proofing copy.

That "little" error on the frame might have caused the mattress to sink in the middle. I bet the salesman was upset. I like how they handled everything. I would shop there.

They are very good about making things right. I haven't had too many problems, but even when I just changed my mind on a couch and two chairs, they just sent a truck out to pick it up. No questions, no need to explain. I found another that was then delivered. There is never even any need to discuss or complain. I just explain the stuation and they fix it. It's Hom Furniture

I just posted three more Menken/Schwartz videos, so check 'em out at www.youtube.com/haineshisway - we have Jennifer Leigh Warren singing Stranger To The Rain, we have Christina Saffran Ashford singing Beauty and the Beast, and we have David Burnham singing Out There.
Good grief! Where has David Burnham been all my life (besides not being born)?
-
I'm really having a bad shopping day. First I needed cat food. There is only one kind of canned food they will eat and that was the only one that Petco was out of. Then I looked everywhere for that stupid dropper bottle. So tonight I go to get a few things I need to make strawberry ice cream. I only need 1 TBSP of fresh lemon juice so the strawberries can macerate (new word for me) and guess what. The store was out of lemons. Out of lemons??? This is a huge grocery store and there wasn't even one lemon.
Well, I went to another store and bought all the ingredients even if I thought I already had them. My strawberries are now macerating

Saw the Harry Potter film. I was bored and did not like it. My friends (the actors from the reading) liked it.
I found it slow moving and did not like the way it was photographed. All color was practically drained and rendered the images lifeless.
Sir Michael Gambon/Dumbledore had his largest role to date.
The children are growing and the actor play Mallfoy doesn't look at all like he has in the previous films.
-
The reading went well.
I have work to do on the play.
Dialogue to be cut, modified to make it easier to speak.
The play runs long so trims are in order.
I video taped it so I can hear how the dialogue sounds
-
Who is the actor, Shayne?
-
I have little hope for the new Potter movie, since the previous ones have successively gotten worse and worse, and this is by the same untalented director who did the last one (and who is, sadly, doing the final two).

Yes, it's a category crowded with lauded performances. I haven't seen all of them, but I'm guessing Drew Barrymore will win, just because it represents a breakout role for her (similar to Hallie Berry's DOROTHY DANDRIDGE performance some years ago), and Emmys have traditionally recognized those.
-
I got everything watched that I wanted to watch tonight plus one nice surprise.
I began by finishing the VERONICA MARS episode which I had started where Veronica is on the trail of stolen dogs. Of course, something seemingly simple turns much more complex.
-
Then I watched the first half of GONE WITH THE WIND from the deluxe DVD edition from a few years ago. This is only the second time I've watched the transfer from that set, and the first time on my current equipment. Looked very nice (might have wanted slightly more saturated Technicolor).
-
Next I watched the Danny Kaye vehicle A SONG IS BORN, the picture of his which I had never seen. He pretty much abandons the slapstick silliness and novelty songs in this movie, and the music is quite good. Of course, the love plot is typical 40s stuff (gun moll falls out of love with the gangster and in love with nebbish professor), and it's too long for such a simple story, but the music offers adequate compensations.
-
I started channel surfing right around 10 p.m. and happened on one of the local PBS stations the Jack Benny biographical special "Love in Bloom," so I watched that. And, finally, at long last, I got a recording of that marvelous, riotous "Getting to Know You" violin duet with Gieselle MacKenzie which I've been trying to catch for years. (It is shown under the closing credits.)
-
Good evening
Work has continued to be hectic - Monday I actually worked 16 1/2 hours... my shortest day all week was 10 1/2 hours...
That's because I "left early" to go see my vascular surgeon... I received approval to have my chemo port removed my my chest
HURRAH!
-
Great news, Vixmom! May you NEVER need it again!
-
That truly WOULD have stopped it, DR Kerry, had that happened... it's a DIGITAL pipe organ!! :D
And very controversial in Episcopal circles.
Of that I have no doubt!
-
on Wednesday the Vixter leaves for New Orleans she is going to join with thousands of other Lutheran youth from around the country to help with the rebuilding efforts
today we went out and bought her some sturdy work boots along with various other items she will need for the trip
-
I am very sorry to hear that dear Elmore is under the weather and I am very pleased (but not all suprised) to learn that our wonderful Jose has been visiting and aiding him in this time of trouble
-
Good Evening!
I'm back from my wander, wander, wander...
And, yes, DR DAW, I did wonder, wonder, wonder... I always do. :)
-
thank you for that prayer!
And how is your dear sister doing?

How odd, I quoted Dr Laura when I posted the above but her quote doesn;t appear!

DR vixmom - That's wonderful news!!!!
*I just hope they don't take out that tube the way they took out your feeding tube. :P
-
She had her first follow-up, with good results.

DR vixmom - And just how soon can you schedule that removal?
*And are you going to go ahead and plan to take the whole day off? -Even if you don't have to. Just sayin'...

Last Christmas Day we sang "I wondered as I wandered"... at leats most of the congregation did... Vixdad was having a private chuckle to himself ove the lyrics when the Vixter whispered to him that it sounded like a Blackadder parody song and he completely lost it - albeit silently -- he was hugging himself and shaking and turning red and the tears were streaming down his face...
and we were sitting in the front pew
I could only hope the other parishoners thought he was deeply moved by the Spirit...
(I wanted to deeply move him with my foot)

I am going to have the surgery next Friday - and yes I will take not only the whole day off but I am taking Monday as well ;)

I am full of homemade strawberry ice cream. It was very good and I have a lot left to eat over the next few days. I've had my ice cream maker for several years and just forgot about it.

I survived two days of babysitting a 4 year old and a 7 year old. We played Hello Kitty Dominos and Diggity Dog:

AH! My Cousin Vinny is on
-
Prior to breaking out the games we drove to Tigard and watched (in 2-D) UP. The movie was fantastic! I loved it and it was very touching. I was pleased that they used very few "celebrity" voices. In fact, until the credits ran I didn't even realize that Ed Asner was one of them! He did a great job.
-
After the movie Taylor and Ben and I made a stop at Starbucks (for coffee for me) and Bresler's 33 Flavors (for ice cream for them).
Then one more stop at DOLLAR TREE where I gave both 2 dollars and they could choose anything that they wanted.
Taylor bought one blue and one purple hair extension wig like think, and Benny bought a book and some sort of capsules that, when put into water, grow into foamy looking creatures.
-
Once back home we took Dog Boso for a long walk around Ben and Taylor's rather upscale neighborhood, and then back home for TV dinners.
I let them stay up late to watch the old musical ON THE TOWN which Taylor loved and Ben fell asleep during.
-
DR Elmore, I am sorry you have been feeling poorly! I must give you a call and cheer you up.
-
I was aware of the news about June Kenney being found and that Paul Parla was interviewing her. He had wanted to keep it a secret so I didn't want to mention it until it was ok...which, evidently is now! LOL!
Paul, who has been interviewing B movie celebs since the 1980s took the time to look me up a few weeks back to let me know he had found June. He somehow discovered that she was my favorite and wanted to let me know. I was thrilled!
As a matter of fact I just today received an autographed photo of her which Paul had her sign for me!
I have been busily copying DVDs of her movies and TV shows for her to view, as she had none, and had not even seen many of them even when they originally aired/were releasesd.
Once Paul has finished his interview he is going to put me through to her and I can't wait! It will be the culmination of a live-long dream to actually get to chat with her!!!!
Color me very happy!
PS: Jack, sorry I didn't mention any of this to you prior, I just didn't want to break my word to Paul

By the way, I met Patrick Labyorteaux when I had my first lunch meeting with Miss Laurie Mitchell and Miss Diana Darrin in Studio City at Marie Callendars.
We were all awaiting the arrival of BK, who was going to join us for lunch, but who never did show up and out of the bathroom watched Mr. Labyorteaux. My buddy Ron, who was with us, noticed him first. He was kind enough to chat with us and Laurie (who didn't have a clue who he was) had her photo taken with him. I think Diana Darrin was familiar with him as her son Evan had appeared on LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE a couple of times.
-
Well, I am all caught up on two days worth of postings, no must catch up on BIG BROTHER 11.

Sounds like you had a fun day with the kids, MBarnum.

We had our first sold out house tonight, including Betsy and the boys. I was showing them around the sets (which are huge by any standard) and Jay Pevney, our Max, was out there setting props, and pointed to a lovely vintage photo on Max's office wall and said, "That's a picture of my mom from the cover of Life." Now I knew his dad was famed director Joseph Pevney and kind of knew his Mom had done some acting, but I had no idea who she was. It turns out she was Mitzi Green, child star at Paramount and RKO and (and this is the Life magazine cover) the woman who introduced "The Lady is a Tramp" in Babes in Arms on Broadway. Jay told a charming story about Rodgers and Hart writing the song for her because his Grandmother, who was herself a famous vaudevillian, complained that Mitzi had no belting songs and that the show was full of ballads. (But what ballads, eh?). So color me impressed.
-
That's a neat story, JMK!
-
And now, I need to try and get some sleep. I have no idea if I'll be able to sleep, but I need to get to bed early.
Good night, all.
