Well, you've read the notes, the notes were Indiana-like and brainy, and now it is time for you to post until the brainy cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: ONEIRIC!
-
Good Morning!
First Post! HUZZAH!!
-
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO DR JMK AND HIS DW WIFE BETSEY!!!!!
-
DR Ginny - It sounds like you and DR DakotaCelt had a very nice time in Cincinnati. I look forward to the pictures.
-
DR JRand - I'm glad that you finally got to meet our very own bk as well as DR Pogue. -And, again, I look forward to your pictures.
-
bk - Ain't it fun just being an audience member? :)
-
As for Cracker Barrel... Well... I've driven past quite a few of them, and I've stepped inside one. Once. I guess I'm still hung up in a way on their past discriminatory practices against homosexuals during the 1990s. They had a company policy of firing homosexuals, well, rather those individuals who "fail to demonstrate normal heterosexual values". I'm not saying that I'd never eat in a Cracker Barrel, but, as I stated earlier, if there's a Perkins nearby, all bets are off.
-
And...
We were sold out tonight. :)
The audience was great. :)
There was a cast party afterwards. Although, with a cast of two - Kathy and myself - it was more of just a party. :)
All in all, a very nice evening.
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
I go through Moon Pie phases (pun not intended) every now and then. I like some of the flavors, but I still prefer the original. -And I usually put them in the microwave oven for about 10 seconds to gently "goo" them up a bit.
The only other "kid's candies" that I find myself craving every now and then are Necco Wafers and Whoppers Malted Milk Balls.
-
DR Cillaliz - Thanks for thinking of that. ;)
-
And since I'm supposed to meet some friends for brunch in six hours, well...
Goodnight.
-
Oh...
bk - Since you usually make sure to get to the airport early (as suggested by the airline), it's won't be the end of the world if you can't print out your boarding pass ahead of time. Since you're not checking luggage, all you have to do is go to the kiosk, punch in your confirmation number or scan your passport, and you're all set. It will give you something to do while you're at the airport. ;)
*And by doing that you can also check for last minute seating assignments, changes. -Are you an exit row type? (for the extra leg room)
-
Indeed.
And I must say that it was a dee-light to at last meet MR BK and DR CP - and the fun they had was matched by myself and Evil Kurt.....who I hope will return to post here....
Many cast members also promised to populate these parts, so hopefully that will happen as well.
And now I must get ready for work....oh well.
-
And just to let you know - MR BK and DR CP were of course surround by lovely girls once we got to English Ivy, a downtown pub.
This cell phone foto was taken by Scott the director of said BRAIN. ;D
-
I got a few pictures - more will follow after work. Aaron from BCP took some better ones, I am sure that will be available for viewing....
-
Mr BK and the cast & crew onstage. ;D
-
The lovely Yoni. :o
-
BK with sexy Fred and Joyce Bunson.
WARNING SUPER HOT PHOTO!
-
MR BK & ME! ;D
Our first stage appearance together. 8)
-
Intermission time with BK, DR CP, and me! :D
-
And now work calls.

I think.
-
I'm up - so tired. But I have to pack quickly and shower, so here goes.
-
I've never heard of a moon pie. When it was mentioned yesterday i thought it was some sort of pie. But i googled it and i guess it is a cookie.
-
I'm going to the library now to pick up the movie BLIND SIDE. There was a book i was hoping to get (the library got it this week). But i see someone else has taken it out (so i guess i was not number 1). Hopefully i'll at least be #2.
-
And now I really am off to work.
Travel vibes for BK and DR CP.
-
Oh well.
-
Great photos!
-
TOD:
Moon pies or whatever.
I love chocolate goodies.
-
Good morning, all! I love the photos!
I am so happy that the show went well and that everyone had a great time. I wish that circumstances had let me go to Ohio this weekend so I could have spent time with DRs Ginny and Dakotacelt and seen THE BRAIN. Alas, not the week of April 15th, I'm sorry to say, but I was there in spirit. I really would have loved to meet DRs JRand and Charles Pogue, so perhaps on my next Ohio jaunt I can make a few treks around the hood. I still think THE BRAIN should be a Comedy Central or SyFy Channel extravaganza. Bring on the photos!
Today, I am packing up a couple of more Ohio-bound cartons and working on reports for the two Victor Herbert shows. Then more BONES! I am obsessed.

DR JRand59, I love the photos!
-
Great photos, JRand. Thanks for sharing.
-
It's pouring outside again, so I don't know what my plans for the day will be. I was supposed to sell beer at an outdoor event called Fiesta Oyster Bake at which you can but oysters of all types, from baked to on the half shell. But with the rain, it might be canceled. Who knows. But we need the rain, so I'm not complaining.
Last night's tamale fest was actually completely indoors at a renovated church that was nothing but the stone walls and a gorgeous hardwood floor, so it was perfect for such events. About 10 restaurants and caterers offers everything from traditional to sweet tamales in various shapes and forms. Favorites included a contemporary one made with crawfish meat and had a cheesy bechamel sauce over the top and a dessert tamale with plenty of pecan and a touch of fresh pineapple in it.
-
One thing that won't be rained out is a trip to a dive bar tonight called the Hangin' Tree Saloon. A friend is driving down from Austin to hear a cowboy singer/songwriter she loves named James Hand. He's really quite good at what he does, so there will be plenty of two-stepping and western waltzes, longneck beers and broken hearts by the end of the evening.
-
TOD: I read a fun book on old-fashioned candies a couple of years ago called "Candyfreak" by Steve Almond, who sort of ate his way aross the country in search of the better, lesser-known candies and candy bars such as Charleston Chews, Goo Goo Clusters, and Peanut Chews. Seems many of these regional treats are still made, but you won't find them on candy shelves because the major companies have bought up all the available shelf space.
We have a liquor store in town called Spec's that carries all of these little brands, including Fizzy Drink Tablets and Chuckles.
My favorites? Mallo Cups. I probably couldn't eat a pack now, given my diabetes and the highly sweet nature of the marshmallow cream, but, boy, did I ever put away my share when I was a kid.
-
(http://www.boyercandies.com/images/cups.gif) A small but tasty image of Mallo Cups to whet your appetite.
-
Sounds and looks like everyone had fun in Indiana last night!
-
Great Photos!
-
DR Cillaliz - Thanks for thinking of that. ;)
:D I actually love those commercials. I couldn't resist
-
The photos are coming up mostly as "x" on my computer, but a few of them did load. Thanks for putting them up, DR JRand.
-
Good morning!
Not as cool this morning as it has been (54), but we're beginning a cool down for the next four days, so that should be nice.
-
I didn't have a great night of sleep last night. Got something ticklish in my throat so woke up coughing after about 45 minutes, and then had to read for an hour to feel sleepy again. Argh!
-
DR Jose,
I had never thought about putting moon pies in the microwave. I usually like them, but sometimes they are a bit dry, and this sound like it would help that circumstance a lot. Thanks for the suggestion!
-
I'm eager to have a free day today. I have some phone calls to make and some DVR stuff I want to get watched. TOnight, I want to finally watch RESURRECTION which I haven't seen in years, and I'll likely watch another Warner Archive disc, too, unless I get a hankering for something on Blu-ray instead.
-
The forecast said rain for today, but it's beautiful outside now. My walk was very pleasant, and I wondered then if the weathermen got it wrong. Of course, clouds could easily move in later, but it is certainly a beautiful spring day right now.
-
Of course, bk, we always hope your travel goes well. On the other hand, your stories about noisy, inconsiderate passengers and crying babies never fail to make me laugh.
-
Morning all. I am on Long Island for the weekend to help Anthony with some details of life that need attending to.
That is all.
-
Saturday morning greetings! It was great to read the glowing reports of last night's Brain gathering. I was sorry to miss it, but DR DakotaCelt needed her rest in order to be able to defend soap operas as vehicles of civic engagement this morning. And, last night I was out cold by 10:30pm, apparently the height of the fun in Indy.
-
I'm going to do some desktop tidying up and then head down to get the rest of the day started.

TOD - in honor of today's topic, let's all take the
Candy Bar ID Quiz (http://www.slashfood.com/2009/09/01/candy-bar-id-quiz/)
I got 17 out of 20.

Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I guess I slept through breakfast... Although, it appears that some of my friends slept through it too, so we're going to meet for a very late lunch/early dinner later. :)

Wondering what ever happen to the following Broadway musical performers
Ben Harney (Dreamgirls)*
Jere Shea (Passion)
Leilani Jones (grind)*
Brian Backer (The Flaoting Lightblub)* (Okay not a musical but still wondering)
Michael McGuire (Les Miz)*
Frances Ruffelle (Les Miz)*
Robert Westenberg (Into the Woods, Sunday in the Park With George) (hasn't been on Broadway for 12 years
* Harney won a Tony award and never did another Broadway shiow. Jones, McGuire Ruffelle and Backer did one show and won a Tony Award and never did another Broadway show

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO DR JMK AND HIS DW WIFE BETSEY!!!!!
OH, yes-- I join in wishing you a fabulous day.
-
Hmm...
I may have to make a trip to "For the Love of Chocolate" in Carytown which has a whole display of "old time candy"... Hmmm... Or I could just wait till I get back to NYC and head down to Economy Candy (http://www.economycandy.com/store/category.aspx?SID=1&Category_ID=26). -I believe some DRs may be familiar with that place. :)
-
Just realized my posting from yesterday never went through so.
FRIDAY'S TOD
no videos planned
but I did go see Death At A Funeral. It was quite funny, but there were several moments where it dragged. However IMHO James Marsden stole the film from Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence and Tracey Morgan.

Jones was also one of the original doo-wop girls in "Little Shop" and I remember her in a toothpaste commercial. I liked her in "Grind" and wonder where she is now.

And I saw McGuire on a touring production of show tunes that he did with Debbie Gravitte. This was about 15 years ago and it was playing the seniors circuit. This stop was in Sarasota, Fla. His voice was great, but his presence was a bit wooden, so I could see where he might not get his choice of parts.

Well, after some Googling and my own personal recollections...
Jere, I believe, is still living in Boston, and is still working as a consultant and fund-raiser for various organizations. My godfather worked alongside him a few years ago during a campaign for the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. I've also heard from a couple of students at Boston College - his alma mater - that he pops back in from time to time for lectures and coaching sessions.
Frances Ruffelle is still alive and well and working in London. I believe she's concentrating now on more solo work, however, I know she appeared in Chicago as Roxie Hart a couple of times across the pond. You could also check her WEB SITE (http://francesruffelle.com/) - which is still somewhat in progress. She's also on Twitter: @frankieruff (http://twitter.com/frankieruff). *I really love that her daughter (with her director/husband, Trevor Nunn) is named "Eliza Doolittle". :)
According to Michael Maguire's (http://www.zunshine.com/maguire/index.html) website, he finished up his law degree in Los Angeles last year.
Leilani Jones has been doing voice over work for video games, most notably Monkey Island (http://www.worldofmi.com/gamehelp/walk/monkey1.php).
Robert Westenberg is now a theatre professor at Drury University in Springfield, Missouri. I see his name on resumes from time to time. Always makes me smile. And don't forget his Cinderella and wife, Kim Crosby. She was Sally in Follies up at Barrington a few years ago, and they played opposite each other in My Fair Lady - as Eliza and Higgins - at the St. Louis MUNY a few seasons back.
And that's all I got.

Right after Grind, she appeared as Anita in West Side Story at the Kennedy Center. I think it was supposed to be the first stop on a tour that never happened. Rex Smith was Tony. ::) I saw it on a high school field trip.

What fun was had last night in Indiana, as seen by the wonderful photos! One of my greatest wishes is to be sitting with DR JRand at a showing of BRAIN FROM PLANET X! Perhaps someday!
Happy and safe travels to Kentucky for DR CP and BK!
-
Pictures! Lovely Pictures!!!
Ah, BK and his Chorines!
:)
-
I must now get myself outside to mow the lawn, then get showered and shaved before my friend Jim arrives. We are headed out to Walmart and then someplace for lunch.
-
Yes DR MBARNUM we must see the show together!
Thanks for the photo comments. I linked from my hard drive, DR MATTH - sorry they're not showing up.
Maybe I will move the album over to Photobucket sooner or later.
Now more work...Oh well.
-
If you think the photos look fun....you shoulda been there.
-
Great photos, JRand!
I'm packing up my trusty camera then hopping into the shower.
Mum and I must go to a wedding this afternoon.
Baby, it's cold outside today.

Don't forget, today is Record Store Day (http://www.recordstoreday.com/Home). Be sure to pay a visit to you local, independent record store today.

Here at the Pogue's old Kentucky home. More later. But right now I'm on his computer because his wireless network is password protected and he can't remember the password.

Darn, one more thing I may never be able to do again, sit in an exit row when traveling alone.
-
Thanks to you MR BK - the BRAIN cast is all agog over on FACEBOOK about your lovely visit last night.....
You made the run even more special for them.
It was great to meet you and DR CP - glad you made to the Commonwealth of Kentucky.....and thanks for signing the photo and your kind generosity to all of us.
Looking forward even more to the book.
OH and I will listen to NEW GUY IN TOWN again.
-
I think.
They are there, and very nice photos they are.
-
Here at the Pogue's old Kentucky home. More later. But right now I'm on his computer because his wireless network is password protected and he can't remember the password.
If he's using a Mac, he can check for his Password in the Keychain Access under Utilities.
Or he could go ahead and reset his wireless router and password to something he will remember. ;)

I believe Pogue's password was:

HELP! That Octopus just stole my camera!!! (http://www.petapixel.com/2010/04/16/octopus-steals-mans-point-and-shoot/)
*This a really cool story, video. -And a sort of passive testimony Panasonic Lumix camera. ;)

The Internet now seems to be down here so I may not post notes till I get to the airport. We shall see.

I am having Internet withdrawal

The time is nigh!

Never had a moon pie. Don't even know what a moon pie is.
But I do love Chalava, (Marbled or chocolate covered)
Favorite Canadian chocolate bars
Coffee Crisp
Aero
Mr. Big
I honestly had no idea that aero and coffee crisp were not available in the US. I would think that aero would be very popular. Very weird to me that we have different chocolate bars.
-
I don't see any quiz under that link (i mean it says candy id quiz but then it is blank for me).
-
Just back from Blockbuster where I picked up 3 used DVDs for $20.00:
COLD SOULS
TAKING WOODSTOCK
ZOMBIELAND
I haven't seen any of these, so I hope I made some good choices.
-
We have Zombieland sitting here from Netflix. Maybe we will watch it tonight.

I think you have a lot more English candy than we do. One time in Canada I found these delicious Swedish style ginger cookies made by Kraft. We don't have them here & I could not get Kraft to communicate how I could buy them.

I hope flights in Europe open up again soon. VIBES TO ALL THOSE STRANDED FOR SO LONG!!

Don't forget, today is Record Store Day (http://www.recordstoreday.com/Home). Be sure to pay a visit to you local, independent record store today.
Unfortunately there are none in my area. Best Buy, Barnes and Noble and Borders (sort of) are what I have access to
-
Back from a lovely lunch at Red Robin and a not so lovely trip to Walmart.
Had the mushroom burger and fries with a delicious, refreshing cocktail, which is something I have not imbibed of in many moons.
There were policeman (state troopers, county sheriffs and city police) all over the restaurant as they were there to get donations for the special olympics. When handsome and toned Officer Frazzini came to our table to see if we would like to donate, well Jim and I couldn't resist.
:)

What happened at WalMart?
-
DR DRUXY I liked TAKING WOODSTOCK....
Talk about answering when opportunity knocks!
-
Don't forget, today is Record Store Day (http://www.recordstoreday.com/Home). Be sure to pay a visit to you local, independent record store today.
I did, by change. And I found a used copy of "Woman of the Year," a CD I had been looking for for quite some time now. So, I'm very happy I did.

Maguire was in the Lincoln Center A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC as Carl-Magnus. I think I've seen Ben Harney on NY-based TV shows like LAW & ORDER, but I wouldn't swear to it.

I honestly had no idea that aero and coffee crisp were not available in the US. I would think that aero would be very popular. Very weird to me that we have different chocolate bars.
I saw Aero and a number of other British candy bars at a British shop we had in town. They even had Fairy dishwashing liquid.
-
While lunch was cooking and while I was eating, I watched FLASH FORWARD. Absurd plot developments and irritating behavior from characters who are very off-putting. If we weren't so close to the end of the season, I'd drop this show like a stone.
-
Then I watched PROJECT RUNWAY. I was very disappointed in the selection of the third person for Fashion Week. The panel went with the person Heidi wanted, but she was wrong.
The primary question they were asking was "Whose collection do you want to see more of," and I can't believe they chose whom they did. Argh!
Looking forward to the runway shows of the other two designers, however.
-
almost time to go home.....
-
And I began watching the season premiere of THE TUDORS. Henry has gotten to Catherine Howard now, but the show is kind of a joke with Jonathan Rhys Myers looking about 30 and still sporting the same slim look of his earlier days.
Still, it's the last season, so I'll stay with it to the end.
-
When I go back down, I'll finish THE TUDORS and then watch RESURRECTION. Once that's finished, I'll decide if I want to channel surf or watch something else this evening before my evening internet surf.
-
And still NO sign of rain. Not even a cloud in the sky at the moment. It couldn't be any more beautiful outside.
-
What happened at WalMart?
The men's room was out of service?
-
Don't forget, today is Record Store Day (http://www.recordstoreday.com/Home). Be sure to pay a visit to you local, independent record store today.
I did, by change. And I found a used copy of "Woman of the Year," a CD I had been looking for for quite some time now. So, I'm very happy I did.
I thought you had found something yesterday you wanted ? That Rodgers & Hart album?

Good afternoon.
Thank you for the photos.
Glad everyone had a great time.

Time for the downtown Ventura artwalk. And then a nap. :)

Back from some shopping and other errands and now I get to start preparing for my overnight trip to Columbus - Vera Bradley fun tomorrow and a fundraising planning seminar on Monday.

I'm heading down now to finish THE TUDORS and then watch some other fun stuff.

Umm.. You're going to take your camera in the shower with you?
Umm. . .I don't think I've ever done that. ;)

My garage is now clean. That is all
-
Hi all! Just when you thought I was gone, here I am!
I'm finely starting to get settled down in the house. Lord, I can't even BEGIN to tell you how nice it is to be back home!
I'm getting things back in order bit by bit. Funny how some things work out. People came and stole my ladders and my glider. Thelma asked the lady who lived across the street from her if I could have her ladders since she was moving into a condo so I have both a 6 ft A frame and an extension ladder once again.
I bought a new glider (wood this time) but went ahead and chained it to the porch pole anyway. So some of the things that were taken are replaced.
Yesterday, I picked up my newest member of our family, Toby, who is a little 7 month old boxer mix. I had a feeling that he and Sheena would hit it off and I was very right! :)
I just don't want to take Sheena to the dog park any more. To many fights--humans not dogs--and I know for a fact that people drop their unwanted dogs off there but I heard that the last ones had parvo.
That really made my mind up to never go back but Sheena was so lonely and really missed playing with the other dogs. Toby is going to keep her very busy. They played all day today and are now pooped out on the floor and couch.

It's so nice to see you posting again DR Danise. I hope you will come back more. And congrats on the new doggie!
-
re: aero and the other chocolate listed
It is so weird to find out now that some of these chocolate bars i grew up with are not US chocolate bars.
I guess part of it is that most of the US tv I watch has Canadian commercials so i guess i wouldn't notice not seeing ads for these bars.
Unless you watch in HD or by satellite, here if you watch an American tv show that is on at the same time on a Canadian station they have to show the Canadian feed.
-
Hi Danise, Welcome back. I'm soooo happy it is working out with Toby & Sheena. Will there be photos?
-
Glad to hear from DR DANISE.
-
On the spot dispatch....
The car that drove us all around yesterday was in an accident at noon today.
Evil Kurt was hit from behind by a little old man in a big car and is now driving a rental car....his car may be totaled, it sets now at the Honda dealership.
We both agreed that if that is so, that the last trip taken in the car by EK, BK, CP, and ME was most memorable and a fine way for it to go out....if it is so.
-
Welcome back, DR Danise! We have certainly missed you!
-
Jennifer I don't remember the name of the cookie anymore. Kraft owns a lot of products & I can't find it on their Canadian website.
At the time, they came in a bag, and I'm pretty sure have Ginger in the name. The guy at the market told me they were extremely popular so I tried them. They reminded me of the Pogens I used to love, and may have come in animal shapes. They weren't too think like most Swedish style ginger cookies.
-
Back from some shopping and other errands and now I get to start preparing for my overnight trip to Columbus - Vera Bradley fun tomorrow and a fundraising planning seminar on Monday.
Wednesday a complimented a little purse my friend had and found out it was a Vera Bradley bag.

Thank you Jennifer and TD! I've missed you all. Photos are up on Facebook because I forgot how to post them here without throwing us into wide screen.
-
Speaking of cookies. I remember one that had pink or white frosting and looked like either an animal or windmill (can't remember). I haven't seen them in years but I remember I liked them a lot.
-
Hello, DR Danise! It's so good to know you are finally home. I think you should post a little each day on the whole ordeal you went through and your getting back home. It's bound to be a great story and, besides telling us everything we want to know, it will be a great introduction for you to the new DRs.
I am so happy for you and I want to know everything!
-
DR Danise, I, too am very glad you are back in your home and back home with us. I heard someone talking about going to the Today Show the other day and thought of the fun we had there.

Mother's animal cookies???

I want to thank Jrand and Evil Kurt for being great Indianapolis hosts and for all the chauffeuring they did last night. They made everything so much easier for us. Also thanks, Jrand, for the nifty gift back of goodies. Very thoughtful and kind.
Sorry to hear about Evil Kurt's car. I guess it was doomed after toting us around last night.
-
Thank you for welcome back DR Elmore and Cilla! It just took some time for me to get back up on my feet. Catching the version of whatever flu was going around the office didn't help any either.
I guess I was just so worn out from everything that was going on that I just couldn't shake it. I finely had to go to the doctor who was horrified that I had waited over a month to come see him. I was just so tired all of the time that I was barely making it in the door at night before I went to bed. I tried to rest on the weekends but that didn't help either. It seemed to get worse as the sun went down.
My doctor put me on some meds and that seemed to knock it out. :)
-
Back at the Pogue's old Kentucky home - all the details can be found in tomorrow's notes, which, amusingly, have already been posted since we have to go to bed shortly so we can wake up at three-fifteen in the morning.

I'm not sure. That might be the right ones. It does look familiar.
-
I'll change the topic soon.
-
I don't remember the sprinkles. I think they just had icing.
-
Time and notes move so strangely around here.
-
Welcome back, Danise
-
Danise I'm glad you are feeling better, stay well!!!

Sorry about Evil Kurt's car.
Evil Kurt sounds like a very nice person. Sometimes you can tell just from the name someone's parents chose to give him.
-

Oy! I don't know if the world is ready that story. It would make at least 2 Movies of the Week!
Hi DR FJL!
-
Danise, I copied the photo image from your FB.
-
Hi BK!!
-
Danise, I copied the photo image from your FB.
Cool! I have to say that Toby is a cutie and VERY smart. It didn't take him very long at all to catch on to the doggie door.
-
On the spot dispatch....
The car that drove us all around yesterday was in an accident at noon today.
Evil Kurt was hit from behind by a little old man in a big car and is now driving a rental car....his car may be totaled, it sets now at the Honda dealership.
What is TCB doing in Indy?
(Sorry, TCB). ;D
-
Welcome back, Danise. When you're done with your house, I have another one (actually two, LOL) for you to work on here. :)
-
Jrand - i guess the only photos I'd seen of you before are not recent. Have you been working out or something like that? (You look terrific!) If so, it will be an inspiration to me.
-

What a gorgeous puppy, DR Danise.
-
In other news, my boss is retiring in 2 weeks. April 30th is her last day. I confess I'm a bit worried about what is going to happen when she goes. We've heard several stories and don't know what to believe.
-
Thank you JMK. I think I've had more then enough of fixing a house! :)
Thank you too John G. You must be fairly new. I'm sorry but I don't remember you.
-
Further to Jrand:
(Or were the photos of you that I'd emblazened on my memory actually of you in character costume?)
-
Jrand - i guess the only photos I'd seen of you before are not recent. Have you been working out or something like that? (You look terrific!) If so, it will be an inspiration to me.
I think dancing qualifies as working out. :)
-
More to Jrand: How odd, I guess the way I think of you is in your acting regalia
-
You know, I take it back. That story would make a soap opera.
I did have someone from Angies List call me to ask if I would be interested in having my story told on some show. I told her that would be fine with me and then I haven't heard back. I don't know what happened or if it's still in the works.
-
DR Danise you have a treat in store for you getting to know DR John G.
-
DR Danise you have a treat in store for you getting to know DR John G.
Sounds great!
-
I'm turning 50 in a couple of weeks. if I'm getting this dotty at 50, how will i be at 70? Will i turn into one of those people who can't even find their car keys?
-
Or for that matter, will i remember that I don't even drive?
-
DR Danise - it's wonderful to have you back!!!
-
I'm turning 50 in a couple of weeks. if I'm getting this dotty at 50, how will i be at 70? Will i turn into one of those people who can't even find their car keys?
LOL.
-
John G - i will go back and read your introductory posts, which must have been during my tax season. I just started chatting with you as if I knew you - but I shall eventually catch up.
-

Errr, Gulp, I think I'm in trouble. That happens to me now.
Hi DR Ginny! How are you and yours?
-
Jane - good point. I hadn't thought of the dancing as "exercise," but of course it is. I had some sense from the photos of Jrand that something healthy was going on.
-
Hi Danise! So glad to see you! I'm glad you are finally feeling better.
-
More to Jrand: How odd, I guess the way I think of you is in your acting regalia
You are most kind, DR FJL....to mention it.
Yes I have been working on a diet....and acting regalia or street wear - losing 28 lbs makes a BIG difference. I still am on the ball to lose about 18 more pounds, and I am not anywhere near what you might call svelte or even trim - I am getting there. It doesn't help that in most of those pictures I am standing next to super thin super fit MR BK.
You are most welcome, DR CP. And I must say that you were dressed up and looking quite spiffy last night - as the girls involved with BRAINEX INDIANA would agree I am sure. Very sophisticated mustard yellow suit, mock turtle neck, and English style pocket handkerchief....most dashing. I will tell the other DR's here that photographs simply do not do justice to our sophisticated leader MR BK and DR CP who both cut quite the striking figure in the flesh.
-
Hi Laura! Good to see you!
-
Remember - your car keys are always in the last place you look.
:)
-
Jane - good point. I hadn't thought of the dancing as "exercise," but of course it is. I had some sense from the photos of Jrand that something healthy was going on.
And it's about time!!
TOBY!!!!! Toby the Wonder Dog....what a beauty!
-
Remember - your car keys are always in the last place you look.
:)
Everything is, isn't it.
-
50? 50?!!
Babes in arms.....
-
I'm impressed DR JRand. Congrats on the weight loss.
-
Well, DR Danise, the big news in our family is that Rob and Mary Linda are engaged!
-
Jennifer I don't remember the name of the cookie anymore. Kraft owns a lot of products & I can't find it on their Canadian website.
At the time, they came in a bag, and I'm pretty sure have Ginger in the name. The guy at the market told me they were extremely popular so I tried them. They reminded me of the Pogens I used to love, and may have come in animal shapes. They weren't too think like most Swedish style ginger cookies.
I don't really eat processed cookies, so I don't even know most of the kinds. If i remember i'll check out the Kraft cookie aisle and see if anything has a ginger sounding name. But i don't know if i'll find them without a name.
-
50? 50?!!
Babes in arms.....
Arms with wattles....
-
Remember - your car keys are always in the last place you look.
:)
Ain't it the truth? 'Cause who keeps looking for them once you find them? LOL! :)
-
Well, DR Danise, the big news in our family is that Rob and Mary Linda are engaged!
Wow! That's W O N D E R F U L !!!!
-
I know I'm starting to try to lose of my poundage. I don't look anything like my current photo because I've gained so much weight.
I blame Jose. But I really blame myself. Just to much stress this last year--I haven't been as careful about what I've ate as I should be.
I hope to be getting back on track.
-
Vibes for Danise at work. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vibes for Evil Kurt's car. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
50? 50?!!
Babes in arms.....
Arms with wattles....
Ya know, I remember the day with I thought 50 was really really really old. Now when I hear someone passed away at 50 the first words out of my mouth is--"But he/she was so YOUNG."
-
No DR DANISE it's definitely DR JOSE's fault.
-
Back from some shopping and other errands and now I get to start preparing for my overnight trip to Columbus - Vera Bradley fun tomorrow and a fundraising planning seminar on Monday.
Wednesday a complimented a little purse my friend had and found out it was a Vera Bradley bag.
If I'd been with you, I probably could have told you the style and pattern!
-
I'm impressed DR JRand. Congrats on the weight loss.
Thanks, DR JANE.....the thought of getting back onstage is enough to get me to workout....why must the audience suffer just because I like ice cream?
-
No DR DANISE it's definitely DR JOSE's fault.
:)
-
Well, it does happen that you might keep looking after you already found it.
Me to Skip: "Where's my watch?"
Skip to me: "Uhhhh, on your wrist.
Me to Skip: "Oh, thanks, I hate leaving the house without my watch.
-

I'm afraid I lose my glasses all of the time. And sometimes they are on my head!

Kind of like Keith looking all over for his glasses, which were on top of his head. ;D
-
I typed that before reading Danise's post. This could never happen to me since I can't see, except to read up close, without my glasses.
-
Thank you JMK. I think I've had more then enough of fixing a house! :)
Thank you too John G. You must be fairly new. I'm sorry but I don't remember you.
yes, I'm fairly new. I'm a largely unemployed food writer in San Antonio, TX, who has been a fan of BK's recordings for years now. Have been a friend of DR Elmore for about 25 years now. Pleasure to meet you.
-

Thanks. Key word-Ginger. 2nd possible key word-Swedish
-
I'd almost forgotten about vibes.
Thank you DR Jennifer!
I'm going to really miss my boss. She is one special lady. I remember when my Mom passed and I called her to let her know, I still swear that lady beamed herself to my side. It didn't seem very long at all and she was there. I'll never forget that.
I have to ask, Doesn't Toby look like a Toby? I mean even when I took him to the vet, the tech said his name fit him. I don't know how I came up with that name. It just popped in my head the moment the guy at the pound asked me what I was going to call him.
-
DR ELMORE - do you need a copy of the program from BRAINEX INDIANA with your Orchestrations by credit?
-
Toby does fit him. He has a twinkle in his eye like the DS of former DR's Ann & Jed's Toby, another cutie.
-
I don't look much like my avatar either because, hmm, well maybe because my avatar is from 20 years ago.
As I recall, though, that 29 year old kid was not a very happy person; this 49 year old(50 in two weeks tomorrow) is somehow a lot happier.
Part of me wishes that 29 year old kid could have been armed with the ability to know that he was going to be a relatively happy 50 year old. (But then who knows how things would have turned out had I been happy at 29, maybe I'd have taken more for granted along the way.)
bk will be upset - that could have been four separate posts, easy.
-
How is Ann & Jed doing? I feel so out of touch.
-
Welcome Back Denise
-
No DR DANISE it's definitely DR JOSE's fault.
:)
That's because he's a lesbian
-
Here is a picture of my cousin Malinda and her now husband Jason. (They have been living together for eight years and have three children, but their wedding today was truly lovely).

They are well. I wish they would share the darling photos of Toby here that I find on their FB pages.
-
I KNEW it!!!

You are confusing DR Jose with DR JMK ;D
-
Danise - you may remember our older dog is also named Toby.
-
DR td, the photo didn't work-lol
-
Nice picture, DR td.....I had to click around a bit to get to it....but there it was!
-
Of course, I meant to say that it is a photo which I took. . .
-
Danise - you may remember our older dog is also named Toby.
I knew I heard it somewhere.
-
I modified the message, and it's now a direct link to the photo.
-
Hi Michael!!
Glad to hear Ann And Jed are doing ok. I do have them on my facebook page. I'll have to look the photos up of their Toby.
-
I'm turning 50 in a couple of weeks. if I'm getting this dotty at 50, how will i be at 70? Will i turn into one of those people who can't even find their car keys?
Hmmm I'm only turning 49 this summer. I thought we were the same age.
-
Maybe I was channeling. I swear I had no idea what I was going to name him until it just popped out of my mouth when the guy asked what I was going to call him.
-
What happened at WalMart?
Nothing really, just bad customer service and Jim couldn't find what he was looking for.

Much better than little drawings. Lovely photo.
-
DR Danise, so nice to see you here again! We must have more photos of the new member of your family!!
-
Cilla - is it possible that something else was equivalent, like maybe we graduated the same year or took the bar exam the same year? I know there was a conversation, may have even been here at our place, where we were noting that something year-wise was exactly the same.
-
Keep reading DR MBarnum ;)
-
Hi DR MBarnum! Jane was kind enough to bring a photo over from Face Book.
I have to laugh because I have 2 very tired dogs laying at my feet. I wish I could reach my camera but if I move it will wake them up.
-
Danise - If you think back and realize that's how you thought of the name, let me know. If it's not, that's OK too - but if it is, it would be nice to feel another little connection between us through HHW.
-
Until Jed and Ann specifically refute it, I've been acting in my mind like they chose Toby as a name because we'd bandied it about here on HHW and the name somehow appealed to them. That's my mentally comfortable story and until they specifically say it ain't so, I'll enjoy thinking it. :)
-
I had a dog named Toby many years ago.
-
LOL Jane, I changed it to read "more photos."
-
I guess I could post the latest on the house.
I still haven't been able to have the room built for the washer/drier so I still have to go to the local laundry mat. I hate that.
The Florida Department of Business and Pro Regs tell me that they are close to having the case come before their board or what ever it's called. I was also told it looks like a pretty open and shut case. Turner will lose his license.
On the other hand, it will take six to nine months for the paperwork to catch up with the boards decision so I have to wait to put in for that fund that will pay me back at least part of my money.
I have put a collection agency on his butt to collect the money he owes me from the court case win but it's been over 2 months and I still haven't seen a dime.
In other words--no change and nothing really to report Sigh.
-
And to think, until I joined HHW I had never known anyone named Toby. Now there are three.
-
Skip is taking a cooking class right now. The subject is pork. (Little known fact: That was one of the names Frank Gilroy went through before settling on The Subject Was Roses.)
-
I hope it all works out in your favor at some point soon, DR Danise!
-
I am told that I would qualify for fund, if/when I get to that point.
-
Danise - If you think back and realize that's how you thought of the name, let me know. If it's not, that's OK too - but if it is, it would be nice to feel another little connection between us through HHW.
I think it's very possible. You know that you can hear or read things and not give it a thought until some how some way, it's just "there" for you. :)
-
Just finished watching DR WHO AND THE DALEKS. I remember seeing this film on tv when I was a little kid but oddly enough, none of the film seemed familiar. So perhaps it was really that other 1960s Dr. Who movie that I saw way back when.
Anyway, it came from Netflix, and I think I will keep it a while longer because it has commentary from two of the actresses in it.
-
BK says he is not going to post the new topic until he is at the airport. Now we're all going to bed.
-
I hope it all works out in your favor at some point soon, DR Danise!
From your mouth to God's ear! I confess I have learned that justice is anything but swift and the places you think are going to help you, don't. The BBB and Consumer "Protection" are a joke.
-
I hope he is able to post it from the airport, or he will be very unhappy. ;)
-
Well, folks, I'm getting a bit tired myself. Think I'll sign off for now but I will try to be back tomorrow and all the days after that.
Have a good evening!
-
You too. It is fantastic to see you here.
-
Cilla - is it possible that something else was equivalent, like maybe we graduated the same year or took the bar exam the same year? I know there was a conversation, may have even been here at our place, where we were noting that something year-wise was exactly the same.
Oh anything is possible. You know my memory isn't what it was when I was younger ;) We're close enough
-
I know I'm starting to try to lose of my poundage. I don't look anything like my current photo because I've gained so much weight.
I blame Jose. But I really blame myself. Just to much stress this last year--I haven't been as careful about what I've ate as I should be.
I hope to be getting back on track.
Putting on weight after something traumatic is very easy to do. When I had my physical trouble last year, I gained a lot of weight. I don't know how much because I didn't get on a scale to check, but it was bad. I ate to forget my troubles, and the things I ate were all the things that I love but which are heavily caloric and fat glutted.
I have been exercising since I got better, but it's slow going, and it never stops. The minute I let my guard down, the weight starts to come right back on.
-
When I went back down, I finished watching this week's episode of THE TUDORS. I've never read that Thomas Culpepper was a rapist and murderer. Amazing what you learn from TV! :)
-
We're close enough?
No, you can never be close enough.
(that almost sounded like a line from ANNIE or something like that :) )
-
DR ELMORE - do you need a copy of the program from BRAINEX INDIANA with your Orchestrations by credit?
DR JRand59, I would love to have a program! Thank you for asking.
I've had a really productive day: I got some writing on Victor Herbert accomplished, I spent some time on the initial stages of vegetable beef soup, making a very rich beef-tomato stock by cooking a lot of beef, onion, garlic, bay leaf, chopped cabbage, cauliflower, and tomatoes for around four hours. Tomorrow I will throw in the chopped potatoes, carrots, corn, green beans, lima beans, and peas, and cook the shebang all afternoon. I should end up with enogh soup to freeze a couple of quarts and still have enough to feed me for a couple of weeks. I also pulled things to ship to Ohio and moved sheet music and DVDs around to different shelves and filing drawers.
I'm back to Season Three of BONES; I think my favorite for the season is the Christmas one, with Bones' dad wanted a Christmas in jail, Booth dealing with Parker going to Vermont, and the murder of Kris Kringle. Patricia Belcher as Caroline the prosecuting attorney is one of my favorite characters, and she's in good form this episode.
So, back to BONES.
-
Next I watched RESURRECTION. This is a terrific feel-good movie: very spiritual without being religious and terrific performances from Ellen Burstyn, Sam Shepard, and Eva La Galliane. And Lois Smith is in it and looks very, very young.
-
We just had the heaviest rainfall since I moved to Austin.
It didn't last that long (none of the heavy ones do), but it left a small lake in my back yard.

Yes, that's a really excellent episode of the show. I'll have to sort through the episodes to see if that ends up being my favorite of the season.

Safe flight home for BK.
-
Page Nine Dance!!!
-
And let's celebrate a really cute and loving couple while we're at it: David and Neil Dance!!!
-
When RESURRECTION was done, I fished out one of my favorite CLOSER episodes: the two-part season two ender where Brenda must find out who murdered a teenaged boy AND snuff out a mole in the CIA.
-
Not making light of the truism, MattH - but ironically, one time many years ago, after the mental agita of being told I'd gained 20 pounds between doctor's visits, I actually went on a binge of sorts in response and gained even more weight.
The doctor really didn't make a big deal of it because all my "blood test numbers" were very good, but I remember thinking what an odd reaction I'd had to finding out I'd gained weight, to go eat even more!
-
DR JFL, it makes sense to me, you ate your worries about your weight away.
-
SAFE & EASY TRAVEL VIBES FOR BRUCE!!!
-
I lost so much weight after my surgery I had to work hard at keeping my weight up & then gaining it back. Now I can't seem to stop eating.
-
I did gain a little extra because the therapist kept complaining I was sliding on the table when he stretched my arm behind me. He said I needed more weight. I told him yesterday I'm still sliding & I refuse to gain anymore.
-
We're close enough?
No, you can never be close enough.
(that almost sounded like a line from ANNIE or something like that :) )
No, you're right, with the way Skip cooks, I can never be close enough! I get hungry just looking at his facebook photos of food
-
I just found out my nephew was supposed to return home from London today.
-
When I went back down, I finished watching this week's episode of THE TUDORS. I've never read that Thomas Culpepper was a rapist and murderer. Amazing what you learn from TV! :)
My memory of Culpepper is vague from the Alison Weir biographies. The other guy that was accused of adultery with Catherine Howard and executed for it had been carrying on with her from her adolescence. I like the fact that Lady Rochefort finally got killed; I always she deserved it for lying about her husband's incest with his sister Anne Boleyn to make herself a widow.
-
Elmore, you may get a kick out of a review I'm writing. It's for a self produced album (and Blu-ray) of a Japanese singer who's attempting to recreate the classic pop singer era of the 1950's. The entire review is about the genius of the orchestrations. ;)

I was reading one last summer when I started having my trouble, and I never went back to it though I mean to eventually. Maybe I'll get some more pertinent facts when I do.
-
Since I slept poorly last night, I'll head down now and hope for better slumbers tonight.
Good night!
-
I shall send it along forthwith, DR ELMORE.
-
Sad to be all alone on HHW
-
Congrats on the Indiana "Brain," BK, and good time that you had!

Friday night, there was a fund-raiser for Theater Artists Olympia and two songs from The Brain From Planet X were performed...this is the only picture that I've been able to find (so far) that's been posted (the date on the photo is, of course, wrong). They're singing "The Plan." From the left is Lauren (who plays Yoni), then Matt (the Brain) and Paul (Zubrick):

Never had a moon pie. Don't even know what a moon pie is.
But I do love Chalava, (Marbled or chocolate covered)
Favorite Canadian chocolate bars
Coffee Crisp
Aero
Mr. Big
I honestly had no idea that aero and coffee crisp were not available in the US. I would think that aero would be very popular. Very weird to me that we have different chocolate bars.
I love Coffee Crisp and have gotten them in Bellingham when I was going to college, and here in Olympia at a couple of local specialty shops. :D

Hi all! Just when you thought I was gone, here I am!
I'm finely starting to get settled down in the house. Lord, I can't even BEGIN to tell you how nice it is to be back home!
I'm getting things back in order bit by bit. Funny how some things work out. People came and stole my ladders and my glider. Thelma asked the lady who lived across the street from her if I could have her ladders since she was moving into a condo so I have both a 6 ft A frame and an extension ladder once again.
I bought a new glider (wood this time) but went ahead and chained it to the porch pole anyway. So some of the things that were taken are replaced.
Yesterday, I picked up my newest member of our family, Toby, who is a little 7 month old boxer mix. I had a feeling that he and Sheena would hit it off and I was very right! :)
I just don't want to take Sheena to the dog park any more. To many fights--humans not dogs--and I know for a fact that people drop their unwanted dogs off there but I heard that the last ones had parvo.
That really made my mind up to never go back but Sheena was so lonely and really missed playing with the other dogs. Toby is going to keep her very busy. They played all day today and are now pooped out on the floor and couch.
Welcome back, Danise!! That's too bad about the theft, but it's nice that you were able to get the ladders replaced for free! And congrats on the new family member! ;D

Here is a picture of my cousin Malinda and her now husband Jason. (They have been living together for eight years and have three children, but their wedding today was truly lovely).

Congrats to the newlyweds!

I hope it all works out in your favor at some point soon, DR Danise!

Well, I need to get to sleep. I have to get up in the morning (not too early, though) and go to my sister's house and feed her cats, then come back home and watch some TV...that was supposed to be my evening after rehearsal today, but I visited my friend Margo for a few, then had to feed my sister's boyfriend's cat since he went with my sister and my niece to visit our cousins in Oregon, then I did a few other things and I finally caught up on HHW without watching any TV. I still have "Fringe," "FlashForward" and "Lost" to watch!

And since we're so close...
