Well, you've read the notes, the notes were celebratory, and now it is time for you to post until the celebratory cows come home - let's make this a partay to remember with more posts than you can shake a stick at.
-
And the word of the day is: DEMOTIC!
-
Morning all.
That is all.
-
Oatmeal, walnuts, cinammon, cranberries and coffee.

I'll try again. The server was "busy" when I tried to post this earlier at 5:15am
I can't find the exact first post but it was either very late 2002 (I lurked for a while) or early 2003. I came because of Internet radio. I found Donald first (his archived shows at the other Web site) and listened to his show every week. I finally stopped lurking, asked a question and some 7 plus years later, here I am, and here I shall stay.
-
Happy Anniversary to our Bruce!
-
HOORAY for Amy! Glad to hear the Jews are staying in the Village.

DR Cillaliz, I'm curious who you and your mom are cheering for/voting for on Dancing With the Stars. I am Jennifer and Derek all the way.

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary & Mazel Tov!

Good morning, all!
And Happy Tenth Anniversary, BK!
I'm in the middle of laundry at the moment. Everything just went into the dryers. Around 7:20, my phone rang and it was Susanna Moross Tarjan, who knows I'm generally up early, and we talked for about 30 minutes. At first I worried that something had hasppened to a family member, since my dad always called early if there were a "situation."
Today, I have a meeting about the Appalachian Christmas piece in the late afternoon, and that's my onll priority. I may go to the NYPL for a bit around 11, but it depends on the time for the Appalachian meeting, which has yet to be determined.
I discovered HHW around October 2003, as I recall, from a conversation with Liz Callaway. I remember looking up the site and sending BK a congratulatory email, possibly around Thanksgving. In his response he asked me if I'd be interested in doing an interview and I said yes. I then completell forgot about it until one day in late December/early January the list of questions arrived. When the interview was posted, I started lurking to see what if anything would be said about it, and sometime around March 1 - maybe earlier - I jumped in. I hung on through WHERE'S CHARLEY? at Goodspeed, came back to Manhattan in July and had a series of health and apartment emergencies: my 18-feet of bookcases collapsed from too much weight, my air conditioning died, I pulled something in my lower back and was unable to walk for several weeks, then walked with crutches, I had a misdiagnosed perianal abscess that, given the wrong treatment, grew to the size of a baseball and literally exploded, requiring several rounds of surgery between 2004 and 2005. I think I was away from HHW for about six weeks or more until the chaos in my life got under control. I do remember that during the last part of this crisis, in October, we had an HHW gathering and I finally met DRs Ben, Noel, PennyO, and Jane. I believe there was one earlier, but at this point I can find neither a photo to prove it nor to display an accurate memory. The photo here is dated Oct 22, 2004 in my computer.
-
I miss Barrymore's. It was a great place for decent food and good company. It was unknown to many tourists. The real estate boom of the mid-21st Century made the leaseholders greedy. Now the lot sits empty with only our memories.

! ! ! ! ! HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY TO HAINES HIS WAY DOT COM ! ! ! ! !

Tuesday morning greetings! Later this afternoon Richard and I are going to Miami University's Voice of America Center to hear an author, after which we'll grab a bite of dinner and he'll drop me off at my AAUW meeting on his way to Messiah rehearsal. Beforehand we need to do some preliminary prep for Thursday's family gathering and go for our walk.
-
I recall that i was doing the trivia contest in the Notes for a while, and hadn't been aware of the extent of what was in the discussions until Bruce told me there were clues to one of the questions in the discussions.
-
happy Anniversary of the 10th Kind to HHW.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm......not sure when I arrived.....it was on the old board. And DR JMK brought me here. So blame him.
Yes DR ELMORE I look forward to your review of the NJ BRAINEX.
Congrats to DR MICHAEL S on his planned play reading....and to DR EDISAURUS....
And vibes for the Last Dip for Little Ricky.
-
I am off to join some friends from the Dept of Labor for a half day of fun.....still not feeling so well, so I am not sure how long I will last.
-
I got caught up in laundry, which is finished now, and posting the photo that I never really finished my train of thought about my six years of being an HHW member:
Since 2004, HHW has seen me through such emotional low points as the declining health and death of my dad in 2007, another abscess caught in time, a diabetic nightmare, financial crises, lost jobs, unhappiness in love, family and friendships as well as such high points as HHW gatherings, new friends, my first Broadway show FINIAN'S RAINBOW, the delightful BRAIN FROM PLANET X, a Brent Barrett holiday recording and his subsequent show at Birdland, two documentaries by DR edisaurus, and a great many rewarding treks and visits. Has any DR been so fortunate in finding a nuclear, if sometimes dysfunctional, family or continual party, if you prefer, as I?
-
TOD - While in NYC on library business in the fall of 2004, I spent some time with DR Elmore who was just recovering from the travails he described in today's earlier post. He had another friend in from out of town that same week - someone named Jane, who I figured was someone he'd worked with somewhere along the line. He also told me about this website where he'd been spending a lot of time and I started lurking. Before long, DR JRand posted a woman's picture and asked if anyone could identify her. I registered, made the ID, and have been here ever since. Didn't take long to figure out that the Jane visiting DR Elmore that week was our very own DR Jane and that my library business meetings had been held at DR Ben's workplace.

I miss Barrymore's. It was a great place for decent food and good company. It was unknown to many tourists. The real estate boom of the mid-21st Century made the leaseholders greedy. Now the lot sits empty with only our memories.
So do I, DR Ben! Here's one of my favorite HHW photos:
-
TOD:
I started following the blog around the time that BK and I were doing the first reading of HAIL ON THE CHIEF.
We had both been aware of each other for years, but our paths never crossed until we were both at one of Ray Courts' celebrity autograph shows in Burbank.
-
I'm giving a talk tomorrow (10) night at the Austin Entertainment Network Mixer.
I spoke to this group when I first got to Austin (June '09) and it was great fun, so I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
-
Happy Anniversary to us all!
What a swell group we have here!
-
TOD
I believe I had written to BK to what was happening with him and he told me about HHW. It beleve it was sometime in January when I first started here
-
Happy Anniversary to bk, to Guy, and to all of us!
This site has certainly enhanced my life and I cherish all of the friends I've made through it! You guys made NY so much fun last week and were so warm and friendly to my mom and Naz. They loved meeting everyone! In addition to seeing you, we also enjoyed going to places we wouldn't have known about without you!
I hope to see Bruce in LA in about a week or so, and any other HHWers who might want to par-tay!
-
I received an email from BK his very own self telling me to high myself over to HHW. I believe I posted on the very first day.
-
Or is that hie myself? :)
-
Happiest of anniversaries and a big THANK YOU to BK for this site!
-
!!!!!!!!!!HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HAINES HIS WAY!!!!!!!!!!
-
DR Cillaliz, I'm curious who you and your mom are cheering for/voting for on Dancing With the Stars. I am Jennifer and Derek all the way.
Well, Mom doesn't like Maks, so she won't cheer for anyone he dances with. I tend to go for the underdogs and right now I'm liking Kyle and Lacey (I've never really liked Lacey before this season, but she's doing a great job with Kyle). He's not the best dancer but to me, he really is the most entertaining. I think Jennifer and Derek are the best dancers and I would be very happy if they won it.
-
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO HHW!!!!!!

This site and the people here mean a lot to me. I spend a lot of time alone - well, alone with cats, lol. When I can log on and read posts or converse or just be silly with the great people here, that "alone" time isn't lonely. In many ways I feel like this is my family. Thanks so much for being here.
-
As for the Topic of the Day...
Each time bk asks this question, I always have to resort to some creative searching and Googling in order to find my first post. I really should just bookmark it. -Which I now have.
It doesn't exactly explain the why of I first came here to HHW, but it does include my first post:
09/03/2002 - "OUT OF THE LOOP" (http://www.haineshisway.com/archives/00000304.html)
-
I think my most memorable times are my first HHW gathering in Portland. I knew then that I would get together with Hainesies and Kimlets whenever I could. The first New York walking and eating tour was a blast....and the central park tour. You guys were so great to my nephew Jon and in many ways gave him his own "it get's better" moment. He's a different person now..much happier and I think some of that came from the people he met and what he saw in New York.
-
Hmmm Let's see...the Today Show and makeovers with Ginny, Danise and Jane...that was really fun.
-
Meeting Bruce in L.A.
-
The Fabulously fun time going to Brain and Starfighter and introducing my niece Samantha to NYC and the group...
-
And of course the host of all hosts, DR Jose who always makes a trip to NYC a fun time.
-
DR elmore - You forgot to mention the bed bugs. ;)
-
Bed bugs are one of the reasons I haven't been to NYC lately....
-
And of course the host of all hosts, DR Jose who always makes a trip to NYC a fun time.
Aw, <blush>
-
Oh, the dinners at Fred and Skip's place are also a highlight
-
I guess any time I spend with the wonderful people on this site is a highlight.
-
SO, Edith is still out. She said she can make it to the bathroom herself, but her back is still bad. There is a lot of work to do but nothing on the calendar today except a webinar in the afternoon and I'm feeling like it's a good time to take off for awhile.
I am discovering that I really do speak Spanish. I'm not perfect but have been able to have conversations every time the phone rings, lol. I left my cell phone at home and really don't want to be here....so I think I'll go to Petco, pick up some litter and cat food and go get my cell phone then go out for lunch at my favorite Mexican restaurant.
-
It's funny, I have traveled either the end of October or beginning of November for years. Maybe there's a reason for that....my mind certainly doesn't feel like working today,.
-
Looks like this was my first post in May of 2002. It took a little digging but here it is. It wasn't late 2002 it was mid-2002 so it's more like 8 and a half years I've been here
THE STRAIGHT SKINNY 05/22/02 (http://www.haineshisway.com/archives/00000198.html)
-
I was urged to check out HHW by both DR JRand (who I met via Ebay) and former DR DenMother (who I met 'cause I was interviewing her for a magazine article).
I don't recall the date (I think it was in 2002), but I first entered the HHW sphere when the old board was in use. We used to do a lot of live chats back then, which were always a lot of fun!
I have had the good fortune to experience two wonderful HHW get-to-gethers in NYC and several in Los Angeles as well as one each in Portland and Tacoma....such great memories for me!!!
Many DRs have come and gone, and some of them I really miss.
-
DR elmore - You forgot to mention the bed bugs. ;)
I'm sure Job can't remember all of his miseries either!

MBarnum...check out DR Ben's link...that was the "original" forum. No live chats then, as I recall. The forum we have now, although upgraded and migrated a time or two, is the one that allowed live chats.

After reading the info in DR Jose's link, I think it was right around that time that I began posting. What a ride it has been.

He's not the best dancer but to me, he really is the most entertaining. I think Jennifer and Derek are the best dancers and I would be very happy if they won it.
I always liked Lacey since I remember her from being a contestant on So You Think You Can Dance. I like Maks, but don't love him. I thought what happened last night was really inappropriate on his part (and Carrie Ann was pretty mean too). I never cared for Anna until last season. Now I really like her. I liked Mark a lot when he was with Kristi. Not liking him that much this year. I always love Derek. To me he is the best choreographer.
I agree that Kyle was great last night.I really hope he is not going home tonight. Dialidol thinks it is him or Kurt (although they aren't definitive).

Tonight I am going out for free food.
The place where my parents get their cars is having an open house with lots of food. And since my parents are out of town I am going to bring in their coupon to get stamped (you get money off the next time you bring your car in). Since the place is only 5 minutes away I think it's better than making food.
-
My first post was a bit splashy/trashy/brashy a day after the Oscars ceremony in 2002. Bruce had found me being assailed over at rec.movies,music (or is it rec.music.movies?) for deigning to have an opinion and suggested I'd find a more amenable crowd at his site.
This first post was in no way introductory...I just jumped right in...and offended at least one poster. It was enough to keep me silent a while...(not that it "took" or anything):
http://www.haineshisway.com/archives/00000140.html
Finally, I had an opportunity to introduce myself and took full advantage:

Always love these stories.

JMK - yes, you posted the first day - and that post is in today's notes.

And I am up.

The sky is blue - have no idea if it's chilly or warm - yesterday was really chilly. Every day is an adventure here in the City of Studio.

That was fun to read. Where are a lot of those folk now? Should we track them down - except maybe not for Toronto's Mr Farret - and beg them to return?

BK, about Michelle's funeral --
I have never heard about funerals being an invitation thing. If you were notified or if you read it in the paper, you may go. If a trouble-maker is unwanted, however, the funeral director may ask said person to leave.
-
I agree with Laura. Face your fear and go. Knowing how you feel about her I think you will regret not going.
-
BK - you absolutely should go to Michelle's funeral.
-
For Ginny and other Brian Boitano fans! He was here yesterday checking out the ice and talking to my friend Bruce Miller
http://www.siouxcityjournal.com/news/local/a1/article_aae729ae-6105-5215-9b2c-d8b662622e56.html?mode=story
-
I agree BK, funerals are for those who loved the person who has departed (and family who may or may not be in the previous category). You obviously cared a lot about Michelle, I say if you want to go...go.
-
The Brian Boitano video of 5 questions is kind of funny/gross. He talks about spinning with a runny nose
-
Besides, the family has way too much to do to write out invitations. That's why the notice is put in the newspaper. You needn't feel any hesitation about going.

At the risk of offending those who don't get such references, I'll simply post one of the things I read about:

JMK - yes, you posted the first day - and that post is in today's notes.
As did DR Elan, who posts here far too seldom.

I was taken with how often DR Michael Shayne once posted. Very interesting stuff, too. He's around far too seldom, as well...but more than DR Elan.

Only six more posts, including this one, and we'll be on page 4....I think.

Not sure exactly what you mean. But it's a big store room where they sell cars. The cars will be on display indoors. And there will be a buffet with food (to eat while you stand).

Well some funerals are private. I think it would say in the paper. But since you were a friend of hers I think you should definitely go. I agree with DR Ben that you would regret it if you don't go.
-
It's almost getting too cold to bike. But I think I should be okay for this week and next. IT is around 46F today.
The problem is the first 5 minutes are too cold. But then the weather at the lake is so different. The lake really keeps the elements in check. It's never as cold or windy.

I have a Sioux City Film Institute meeting at 5:00. There was a manager at the theater here who basically cut us out of what we do...the film festival showing indies etc. So we've found a movie theater owner who wants to host us. We're going to try to get a series going. They haven't listened to me the past few years when I make suggestions, but I'm going to try to get a couple that are near and dear to this here site on the list of what we want to show
-
I have decided that even though I'm the boss, I really need supervision to stay on track. I hope Edith is back tomorrow
-
Since I wasn't getting anything done today, I went out and bought one of those great big cat climber/tree/perch whatever you call them. It's almost 5 feet tall with three platforms. Ricky keeps eyeing my book case, so I decided to give him a place to roost that won't hurt anything. I think they'll really like it.
-
That was the big christmas present for the cats this year. Mine is going to A CHORUS LINE and seeing Brian Boitano
-
Now that my webinar is over, think I'll go get some ice cream before my meeting.

Good Afternoon!
Well... I had only planned on heading out for an hour, at the most two. Well, four hours later...

bk - The Universal Record Database (URDB (http://urdb.org/)) would like to recognize you and HHW and for the "World's Longest Daily Blog". Just click HERE (http://urdb.org/set-a-record) to submit the details.

bk - Unless an obituary says something along the lines of "a private service for family and friends will be held at..." then there is usually no invitation to/for a funeral. You should definitely go to Remember, Share, Celebrate, and, cry a little.

Well... If you toast the oatmeal and walnuts, season them with cinnamon, then mix them up with the cranberries... Almost like a crumble-topping or granola... ;D

What? No more grits for breakfast?
Hmmmm, grits! -And it's been nice to find that more restaurants in NYC are serving grits as part of the breakfast menus, instead of just at lunch and dinner - shrimp'n'grits is still as popular as ever. 'wichcraft serves them all day with chunks of good ham and cheese. Hmmm, maybe they should be called "HHW Grits"?

I could go for a bowl of HHW grits RIGHT NOW!

I've just read a short news blurb that says Betty White has been named an Honorary Forest Ranger.
Harrumph!
First, she wins an Emmy (for hosting SNL) that should have gone to Kristen Chenoweth (for "Glee")....and now she gets an honorary forest ranger honor that, at the very least, should have gone to our very own DR Laura.
Will the madness continue?

Go to the funeral, bk. You produced some wonderful work with her. I'm sure her family would want to share that.

From Jose:
Well, at least it came out of the pan, and that's half the battle. Wink
I also have a Rose Bundt pan, and I've found that the best way to prep the pan with butter is with a pastry brush. It gets in all the nooks and crannies. As for it being a smidgen too dry, well, most red velvet cakes are a smidgen too dry. That's what the frosting is for. Wink
I used a pastry brush. I think my error was using shortening, since that is what the recipe used, instead of butter. With my shoulder everything was difficult. Because the cake didn't slide out of the pan I'm having trouble getting it cleaned. I've decided I'm going back to heavier, fattening cakes for that pan.
The cake was good with the frosting, but it did need the frosting so those who have to avoid frosting didn't really enjoy it that much.
-
Jose I have a mix mixer which is harder for me to use than a good hand mixer. In fact I purchased a new hand mixer that was easier to work. I'm not sure it had as much power, hard to tell since it didn't shake in my hand like my old one did. ;D
-
And Happy Tenth Anniversary, BK!
I do remember that during the last part of this crisis, in October, we had an HHW gathering and I finally met DRs Ben, Noel, PennyO, and Jane. I believe there was one earlier, but at this point I can find neither a photo to prove it nor to display an accurate memory. The photo here is dated Oct 22, 2004 in my computer.
I was so close I had to go to NY and meet you in person. I still remember the stay I answered the phone and had a wonderful unexpected surprise when you were on the other end to say hello. :)

TOD - While in NYC on library business in the fall of 2004, I spent some time with DR Elmore who was just recovering from the travails he described in today's earlier post. He had another friend in from out of town that same week - someone named Jane, who I figured was someone he'd worked with somewhere along the line. He also told me about this website where he'd been spending a lot of time and I started lurking. Before long, DR JRand posted a woman's picture and asked if anyone could identify her. I registered, made the ID, and have been here ever since. Didn't take long to figure out that the Jane visiting DR Elmore that week was our very own DR Jane and that my library business meetings had been held at DR Ben's workplace.
It is somewhat frustrating knowing you could have been at that dinner with us. I came very, very close to suggesting Larry, his out of town friend, and I all get together. At least I got to meet you in person the following year. :)
-
I think my most memorable times are my first HHW gathering in Portland. I knew then that I would get together with Hainesies and Kimlets whenever I could. The first New York walking and eating tour was a blast....and the central park tour. You guys were so great to my nephew Jon and in many ways gave him his own "it get's better" moment. He's a different person now..much happier and I think some of that came from the people he met and what he saw in New York.
That's very nice to read about Jon.
I still remember your hesitancy on the way to JMK's house & your excitement on the way back to the hotel. ;)
-
NY has wonderful hosts. DR elmore has met me at the train and escorted me to my hotel. DR Ben has walked me to the theater to make sure I got my tickets without getting lost. DR Jose organizes wonderful walking tours & activities. I will never forget all the food at DR FJL's after we had eaten. It was delicious and I still found room to eat, without sharing with the boys on the floor. Other DR's traveled great distances to meet me in NY.

Here's my first post:

Thanks for the welcome. I'll probably just lurk for awhile but will no doubt join in soon!
Nice first post since join in you did. :)

I have decided that even though I'm the boss, I really need supervision to stay on track. I hope Edith is back tomorrow
FEEL BETTER VIBES FOR EDITH!!

Since I wasn't getting anything done today, I went out and bought one of those great big cat climber/tree/perch whatever you call them. It's almost 5 feet tall with three platforms. Ricky keeps eyeing my book case, so I decided to give him a place to roost that won't hurt anything. I think they'll really like it.
I love those. I thought about getting one of those for Craig's cat. Since we don't expect them to stay too long I'll wait until later to decide. I do need to get an enclosed litter box.
-
Oh...
My parents will be in town tomorrow... I wonder how many times we'll be asking strangers to take pictures of us? ;)
I hope they don't have any new surprises for you & they are both well.

I've just read a short news blurb that says Betty White has been named an Honorary Forest Ranger.
Harrumph!
First, she wins an Emmy (for hosting SNL) that should have gone to Kristen Chenoweth (for "Glee")....and now she gets an honorary forest ranger honor that, at the very least, should have gone to our very own DR Laura.
Will the madness continue?
;D
-
Had a great work session about which more later, and now I have to eat something.
-
I decided not to go to the meet and greet and get the free food. :(
My head started really hurting around 4pm. This is one of the things that scares me the most. I've had 2 very bad experiences with migraines. One (maybe 9 years ago) where I was mis-diagnosed and then hospitalized. That was very scary. I lost part of my memory. I couldn't even remember which university I went to (I mean I knew the name of the other university in Montreal but I just couldn't remember how to say the one I went to).
I can tell the difference between a regular headache, a sinus headache and something more. And the latter scares the heck out of me.
Well around 4:30pm it seemed like my head was getting worse and I felt like I was going to throw up and I was becoming sensitive to light(migraine symptoms for me).
The migraine pills i have (which i never have to use) are fiorinol (sp?) but they were expired. But I thought I'd try one and see if it worked.
I probably shouldn't be using the internet. But it isn't getting worse (good sign). And I don't feel like I have to throw up anymore. So i'm sitting in the dark typing (for some reason looking at the computer is not hurting my head.
I think it's getting better. Fingers crossed. I was sort of freaking out about what to do if i threw up the meds. Do I go to the clinic? The emergency room? Does fiorinol inhibit driving?
I am really hungry. And usually food helps when i have a regular headache. Just not sure what i have to eat that is ready made (since i was going to go out to eat).
-
Jennifer losing your memory sounds scary. I doubt using the expired medication is a problem. You might want to make an appointment with your doctor to get more in case it happens again. I have a friend who goes to emergency to get a shot of pain killer when hers are bad enough. Most people I know take their meds and go to bed until it is over, which can be a day or two. When you feel better I suggest you read up on severe migraines, before you see the doctor.
FEEL BETTER VIBES!!!

I miss Barrymore's. It was a great place for decent food and good company. It was unknown to many tourists. The real estate boom of the mid-21st Century made the leaseholders greedy. Now the lot sits empty with only our memories.
So do I, DR Ben! Here's one of my favorite HHW photos:
It looks more like THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV.

Earlier, I was trying to rapidly catch up on yesterday's posts, when I came across this one by Amy.
Yesterday Amy posted:
I have a houseguest staying with me, so I may take him there before he leaves. He's a producer I worked with at Turner many moons ago.
Since I tend to speed throught them, I sometimes drop a word or two which made for a different meaning without the word "there" included.
"I have a houseguest staying with me, so I may take him before he leaves."
-
I guess DR EDISAURUS used exactly the right word when she said being a regular at HHW enhances one's life.
Certainly I feel a great connection with all of those who post here - and I have had the pleasure of meeting some of them - including DR GINNY and her DH RICHARD and DS ROB, DR JOSE, DR CP, and or course MR BK hisseff.
I have always been fascinated by show business and work around the fringes here doing my part in local theatre - community and professional - but it's very nice to hear stories and know people who "know" folks and are making a living in show business. Fascinating.
I have also met DR RODZINSKI and DR TPUNK.
I look forward to many future meetings. HHW is a very positive place to visit, its denizens can always be counted on to cheer me up, give me an answer to a question, or point to a website or video that is most entertaining.
I love all the photographs.....somedays it is like a train ride across the country as we view scenes from everyone's life. And of course I am very partial to the animal pictures.
-
For example:
-
Oh wow....I just realized compared to my Avatar from August....I have lost weight.
-
I shall now watch GLEE and hope that one particular character doesn't have a LOT of screen time tonight.
I am most pleased by the result of THE AMAZING RACE last Sunday.....and as DR JENNIFER posted, I think it was a production error in the previous show that caused the Non Elimination Leg....non scheduled....and everyone started even this week at the circus.

Thanks it is slowly starting to feel better.
Yep losing my memory was scary. At the time I went to the clinic. I knew it was a migraine. But had not had one for 7 years. So i did not have my meds handy. And my head hurt too much to look for them. At the clinic i was throwing up and the doc would not give me the migraine meds. He sent me to the hospital, where they rushed me to another hospital.
It was weird but my memory just came back. I also was having trouble reading. They sent some kid intern in to have me read to them. The funny part was that my mind was working well enough to try to trick the intern (i did not want to stay in the hospital).I could read most of the words, but not the big ones. So i would just skip over the big words hoping the intern would not notice. :)
-
I wonder if you go to the pharmacy with an expired med (that you did not take) if they would exchange it for new pills (either for free or for the cost). Or i wonder if i can get a prescription for 3 pills.
-
Zellers (a sort of Walmart like store here) had their Halloween candy at 75% off. I wasn't looking for any. But I couldn't resist 90 of my favorite (reese's peanut butter cups and reese's pieces) for $3.49. Although I had to hide them so I won't eat them.
-
I could read most of the words, but not the big ones. So i would just skip over the big words hoping the intern would not notice. :)
We hold these truths to be. That all men are. That they are by their with, that among these are life and the of.
How'd I do, Doc?

As for the Topic of the Day...
Each time bk asks this question, I always have to resort to some creative searching and Googling in order to find my first post. I really should just bookmark it. -Which I now have.
It doesn't exactly explain the why of I first came here to HHW, but it does include my first post:
09/03/2002 - "OUT OF THE LOOP" (http://www.haineshisway.com/archives/00000304.html)
Wow! That page brings back memories.

No exchanges in this country. You can fill a prescription for only three pills. You can also ask for your pills to have a long expiration date. If you call the pharmacy they should be able to tell you if the pills are really good for a longer amount of time or if you need to pay attention to the expiration date.

Hello, everyone.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO BK, GUY HAINES, AND HHW!
-
I reconnected with BK in 2006 and he said, "POST!!"
-
HHW can certainly be a lot of fun. I'm not a blogger anywhere else. HHW is indeed an interesting community of folks with similar interests--and some great wit.
-
For example:
Nice photo--and I like your eyeglass frames, Jack.
-
Oh thanks DR JEANNE.....$53 including lenses at EyeBuyDirect......I like getting new glasses now and then.....
-
Oh thanks DR JEANNE.....$53 including lenses at EyeBuyDirect......I like getting new glasses now and then.....
Wow! That's a steal! I need new progressives, but I'm difficult to fit. Mine will be far more than $53!
-
Ah....yes....I am merely insanely nearsighted....don't use progressives or bifocals.
-
GLEE is doing some nice stuff tonight.

I always thought the three sisters Olga, Natasha, Irina and Masha sounded like Santa claus' reindeer!

That's very nice to read about Jon.
I still remember your hesitancy on the way to JMK's house & your excitement on the way back to the hotel. ;)
Well, THOUGHT it was going to be OK, but I really wasn't sure until we got there. I had never met any of you before and I was a very long way from home

I have decided that even though I'm the boss, I really need supervision to stay on track. I hope Edith is back tomorrow

Since I wasn't getting anything done today, I went out and bought one of those great big cat climber/tree/perch whatever you call them. It's almost 5 feet tall with three platforms. Ricky keeps eyeing my book case, so I decided to give him a place to roost that won't hurt anything. I think they'll really like it.
I love those. I thought about getting one of those for Craig's cat. Since we don't expect them to stay too long I'll wait until later to decide. I do need to get an enclosed litter box.
Oh Jane, I wish I could give you the one in my living room. I bought if for Angel and Nicky, but Angel climbed on more than Nicky ever did. Since Angel died, I think Nicky has only climbed on it once.
-
Callie and Ricky have already been on mine, I think it's going to be Ricky's permanent spot. He loves it.
-
I didn't realize Kurt Warner played at the University of Northern Iowa and didn't start until his senior year. Hmmm. Still not cheering for him, but I find that interesting
-
JMK - I have no e-mails from you today.

Watching a motion picture on Blu and Ray and am thinking about doing a quick job, although it's quite chilly out.

My mother was asking how Kurt was connected to Iowa, good grief he was born and raised here, I had no idea.

I appreciate the offer, and will keep it in mind if Craig happens to find a job out your way.

Jane, It was fun. Actually it was after the get together at JMK's house I decided that I'd go to New York to meet the crew out there.
-
GET WELL VIBES TO DR JENNIFER~~~~~~ oh sorry I was shouting....get well vibes to dr jennifer ~~~~~
-
Ok, you TV gurus....why do the HD channels on my set keep freezing. The cable guy came out and changed the cord from where it comes in the living room to the DVR box. It didn't help. They are coming back on Friday, but not until then. I asked if I can change my box and they said to wait. I told them that I can't afford to keep taking off work to be here if they are going to keep coming over and not fixing it. So, is there anything I can do to see if I can fix it myself?
-
I was kind of hoping that at least one of our dearly missed dear readers would return, but alas, I guess it is not to be.
-
I can't sign off for the night without wishing BK and all of my dear friends,
HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY!
Thank you BK for hosting this non-stop party in your living room for the past ten years. And thank you to one and all for being a caring and a loving family to me all these years.
There is no place like HHW anywhere on the Internet!

Oh wow....I just realized compared to my Avatar from August....I have lost weight.
Compared to my avatar in kindergarten, I've gained.

G'night!

Good night TCB restful and painfree sleep vibes~~~~~~

Compared to this avartar photo, I'm about the same

Happy Tenth, BK and Mr. Haines! I joined this merry band when I happened on Mr. Kimmel doing a Benjamin Kritzer reading at our favourite bookstore in Glendale, Mystery and Imagination (aka Bookfellows). I had just come into browse, but knew of Mr. Kimmel by reputation and having had many of his CDs (we had also been briefly introduced by the bookstore owners several years before). Anyway, we got to chatting after the reading and hit it off, finding we had much in common, and he suggested that I would be an ideal candidate for an interview on Haines His Way. Always willing to yak about myself, I agreed, we exchanged emails, he sent me questions, I answered them, and I started following his daily jottings and the message board, we went out to dinner at Musso and Frank's a few weeks later, cemented the friendship, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Oh...I also bought the first two Benjamin Kritzer books that day of the reading and read the first that night, laughing uproariously.
-
Cillaliz, Kurt Warner is a nice guy. You should vote for him.
-
Jane, It was fun. Actually it was after the get together at JMK's house I decided that I'd go to New York to meet the crew out there.
I remember and we had such a good time!! :D
-
I thought I had saved the info from my first post, along with the date of it. Had I gone searching for Bruce a few days earlier I might have been included on the first page. Of course too soon and I would have completely missed this wonderful gathering.
I'm not going to search now because my eyes wanted to stop looking at the computer ages ago & I have dishes to do.
-
Now if I could just get Boo to jump on the top
-
Cillaliz, Kurt Warner is a nice guy. You should vote for him.
Of course he's nice, he's from Iowa....I'm afraid he may be going home tonight

Richard and I went to Miami University's new learning center in West Chester to hear a presentation by Dan Ariely (http://danariely.com), who was a very thought-provoking speaker. We had a quick dinner at Skyline Chili and Richard dropped me off at our local public library for an AAUW meeting and he went to our former church across the street for Messiah rehearsal. My friend Betty brought me home and I've been catching up on posts.

Always liked "Cherry Orchard" myself. But then again, I see that as a comedy, as Chekhov did, so I sit there and laugh when Madame R loses the farm while people around me are weeping. I guess I'm sick that way.

I was kind of hoping that at least one of our dearly missed dear readers would return, but alas, I guess it is not to be.
I'm here, I'm here! I had to stop in and celebrate our remarkable milestone with you dear people out there in the dark. I don't remember exactly when I joined the Hainsie/Kimlet ranks, but I know it was very near the beginning. My DH Jed (then only a good friend) told me about this person called "The Real A" and how he had tracked him to this website, and he said I should check it out. I did, and the rest, as they say, is history. i have had a chance to meet some of the crew several times, and dear TCB has become a good friend in Tacoma (We need to get together for ice cream, dad!) I know I have fallen away since having Toby, but I still think about you people often and I treasure the wonderfully weird family we are here together. I thank BK profusely for being the patriarch and bringing us all together. Only he could have done it.

Night, all.

Hi, DR Ann - nice to see you here!

Now, I'm going to bed and attempt to sleep past 7am, something I have not been able to do since the time change - 'night!

Today at work, I worked...and by the end of the day, officially switched all the stuff from my now former computer to my now new computer. None of the actual stuff in my cubicle has moved, but starting tomorrow, I will now be able to actually work in my new space...of course, I still have a LOT to learn and it's really slow going, but it's going. :)

My many many thanks to BK for providing this here and site and allowing a know nothing talentless thing like me show up

For all your caring and support to me and mine throughthe whole cancer episode I will be eternally grateful

I showed up here entirely by accident having never heard of Guy Haines or Bruce Kimmel (I told you I was know nothing) bygooglinmg myself in moment of boredom - dearly missed former DR William F. Orr had posted about a birthday gift I had given him and I joined up as it was the only way I could "send a personal message"
Bill persuaded me that I shouldstick around as this was the nicest place onteh whole internet and he was right!
Now if I can just drag him back here again!

I met many of you at our first walking and eating tour led by our dear Jose

-
Oh wait - I am wrong -- the FIRST time I met anyone was at Jewish Thighs on Broadway- DR Penny's show with Jose at the piano!!

Here is my very first post...I've re-posted it several times over the years. ::)
;)
Hello All,
I know it's late in the evening (do I get a prize for being the last post of the evening?), but this is my very first posting on this website: I am a chronic lurker and parenthetical user (I'm getting professional help). I would like to put in my two cents about the male and female non-theatrical singers...for no other reason than just because. I have been in love with the five singers of The Manhattan Transfer. Tim Hauser, Alan Paul, Janis Siegel (my favorite of the bunch), Laurel Masse (original member, left the group in 1979) and Cheryl Bentyne (in the group since 1979). Individually they each have a wonderful sense of musicianship and style, but put them together and watch out! Incredible singing. That's my two cents.
The CDs that I've been listening to lately: Elaine Stritch At Liberty (love it - listened to it twice in one day) and Thoroughly Modern Millie (like it - twice in one week).
Well, until the next time.
PS. I would like to personally thank Mr. Kimmel (and/or Mr. Bakalor) for knowing how to correctly spell "a lot," (or for at least knowing how to use a spellchecker). A website with which Mr. Kimmel is no longer affiliated, no longer spells it correctly and even the incorrect spellings aren't consistent. I've seen "allot" and "alot" a lot.

I think this may have been my first post
"In my CD player, Fairport Convention, "The Rhythm of the Times". In my VCR. my eleven year old daughter's singing performance her music teacher arranged to be filmed and shown on the local public access TV channel. In my DVD player, oh lord, Barbie in the Princess & the Pauper!!! (I mentioned the 11 year old daughter did I not?)"

EDI!!! Congratulations on the holdovers!!

I have no idea what my first post was

But I will help us...

BK, about Michelle's funeral --
I have never heard about funerals being an invitation thing. If you were notified or if you read it in the paper, you may go. If a trouble-maker is unwanted, however, the funeral director may ask said person to leave.
Ditto..I have been to many funerals, but have never been "invited". People tell other people; the family has enough to deal with and will forget to get in touch with people, so it's often up to friends of the family to let people know.
-
I have to do it all by myself?

Almost there...
-
Maybe one more...
-
Or one more after that...
-
Ok, this rock is getting too heavy to push uphill by myself. I give up.
-
Oh...
My parents will be in town tomorrow... I wonder how many times we'll be asking strangers to take pictures of us? ;)
Hmmmm...this sounds familiar! I think we only did that twice; I did most of the picture taking.

Earlier, I was trying to rapidly catch up on yesterday's posts, when I came across this one by Amy.
Yesterday Amy posted:
I have a houseguest staying with me, so I may take him there before he leaves. He's a producer I worked with at Turner many moons ago.
Since I tend to speed throught them, I sometimes drop a word or two which made for a different meaning without the word "there" included.
"I have a houseguest staying with me, so I may take him before he leaves."
Oh dear...and with Greg out of town, that would be most unseemly!

I agree BK - you should go to the funeral unless the obituary read "private service" you should consider the announcement itself an invitation

I lost track - how many more to get us to 10?

Ok, you TV gurus....why do the HD channels on my set keep freezing. The cable guy came out and changed the cord from where it comes in the living room to the DVR box. It didn't help. They are coming back on Friday, but not until then. I asked if I can change my box and they said to wait. I told them that I can't afford to keep taking off work to be here if they are going to keep coming over and not fixing it. So, is there anything I can do to see if I can fix it myself?
They have to do it. Comcast nearly drove me insane trying to hook up the cable when I moved here. They came out more times than I can remember, and would always blame the problem on the previous worker. They needed a bucket truck. I told them this every time. They would sometimes show up with ladders, but not tall enough. They would get it working, and then take off before I had a chance to test all the channels. It was the only time I have ever cursed out a company on the phone! One time, when they showed up without a ladder at all, Greg made them wait, went to Home Depot, bought a big ladder, set it up, and after they were done, returned the ladder. Seriously, they were out here probably a dozen times, with me taking off work to meet them here. Sometimes they didn't show up at all. Oh, how I hate them, but they have cornered the market here.

Oh Jane, I wish I could give you the one in my living room. I bought if for Angel and Nicky, but Angel climbed on more than Nicky ever did. Since Angel died, I think Nicky has only climbed on it once.
speaking of speed reading I missed the "the" in TCB's first sentence -
:o
I had to go back a read it more carefully once I got over my shock

I got here by way of Grant Geissman. I was doing credits for imdb and wanted to see how I had listed Grant for his work on "Ociee Nash", and noticed THE FIRST NUDIE MUSICAL credits on his listing. I hadn't thought of this film since the late 70's-early 80's when I first saw it, but I had remembered what a funny movie it was. I did an internet search for it and wound up on this site, and everyone was so friendly that I stuck around.

Most fun HHW memories:
--Editing The Brain DVD
--Going to see The Brain in NY
--Premiering SACCO AND VANZETTI in NY and having DR's go to it, and the wonderful brunch that Fred and Skip prepared
--The great folks I've met in NY that I continue to see whenever I go up, especially Larry, Jose, Ben, Ant, Vixmom and Singdaw.
--Going out to dinner to Ghengis Cohen with bk when we opened SACCO AND VANZETTI in LA
--Getting my cherished copy of the soundtrack to THE 5,000 FINGERS OF DR. T, and being here in a place where people know so much about movies, music and theatre.
--Putting together everyone's birthday wishes into a DVD for bk's 60th, and getting to spend it with him at, of course Ghengis Cohen.
--Laughing all night at everyone's suggestions on what dish to bring to an Oscar-themed party.
GOOD TIMES!!

Yay! We made it to ten while I was thinking of all those things!

My houseguest leaves tomorrow. The cats have gotten used to him so too bad he has to go. I got to meet a lot of his friends, though. We all had lunch together today and he brought Madisono's gelato all the way from Cincinatti. Some good flavors! They weren't all finished so when Greg gets back to town he will have a lot of gelato to sample!
