Hey, Doug -- how are the fish doing at you sister's house? Did they get eaten by the heron?
What I took away from that second quote is that Debra is going to live to be 100.Yes, but how long will her career live?
What I took away from that second quote is that Debra is going to live to be 100.
Just for JR Department:
Actual quotes from this morning's Oregonian:
1. It's a tirbute to Debra Messing's talent and innate likability that the tedious subplot of her character's brief affair with an old flame didn't make viewers hurl bricks at the screen.
2. "I think the idea of a partner for life is incredibly romantic. But now we're living to 100. A hundred years ago people were dying at age 37. 'Til death do us part was a much different deal."
These were in two separate articles on what was Debra Messing Day here in the NW.
What I took away from that second quote is that Debra is going to live to be 100.Yes, but how long will her career live?
They spelled your name wrong, and the ending of the video is a little weird,Thank you so much DR FJL--that was COOL!
but otherwise this harmonizing on "Happy birthday Danise" is really cool!

Happy Birthday, DR Danise! Don't forget to nmake a wish!Thank you too DR Kerry. I bought myself a slice of chocolate cake last night to have with dinner. I'm thinking about going out to Olive Garden or just getting some wings from Beef O'Brady's and kicking back.
Happy Birthday DR Danise. Hope you have a great day. And hopefully it will be stressfree!thanks DR Jennifer. I'm home so it is VERY stress free!
A very happy birthday to DR Danise!Thank you DR ChasSmith.
Happiest of birthdays to DR Danise!Thank you, DR Ginny. You won't believe what just happened! I went out to the mailbox and there was a check from the surgicenter for a hundred dollars!!!!! I called to make sure it was something I should cash and it turns out they overcharged me! Hoo and Ray!!!! How's THAT for a birthday present?!
Happy Birthday, Danise!
Many happy returns of this day for DR Danise!Thank you, DR Ron Pulliam! I love the color blue.Happy Birthday, Danise!

You know if any of you cretins would bother to read my posts, you would have had your friggin' answer about DOWNTON ABBEY and edits months ago. :)
I can also encourage you good people to check things that look like real, actual junk mail -- which is how many product manufacturer rebates come these days. You go to all the trouble to document, photocopy, fill out, kiss, mail, postmark, etc. ... then it takes so long for the things to process that you completely forget there's $10 or $30 or whatever coming back to you on some purchase. Then one day you get one of those crappy looking little card-stock things that looks for all the world like just another advertisement, an "offer" for reduced mortgage rates, or whatever... but you open it, and there's yer thirty smackers.
This is how They get you.
Thanks, DR Ginny and Jrand--I do always open the mail, junk or otherwise but like you I hate it when I get a "check" but if I cash it it means I'm signing up for some service, etc. That is really underhanded.Happiest of birthdays to DR Danise!Thank you, DR Ginny.

What a nice surprise! You were smart to call. It also demonstrates something I learned a long time ago from my Mom. She threw away, unopened, an envelope from a mortgage company thinking it was a payment reminder. She had second thoughts and fished it out of the trash, opened it, and found a similar check inside.
DR Danise, please buy yourself a special birthday present with your windfall!

Good morning, all! It was another night of peculiar dreams: I was walking down Broadway in a bathrobe and socks wondering why the day's mail hadn't arrived; something about travel; several dreams about visiting my friends Arie and Kevin, who now live in Amsterdam; in one dream they were still living in DC and dealing with a rather crazy neighbor, an awful dog, and a cherry tree, and in another we were in London at the BBC, where Arie bought 400 books and I spilled coffee.
Today, I have a trek to Toyland: I will meet Curtis there to learn how to accomplish something on my computer. I have a couple of scores to proof and some ROBERTA materials to scan while I'm there. Tonight, I'm turning over the remainder of THE ONLY GIRL scores, and it's out of my hair for now. Excellent!
BK, I'm glad last night's event went well. For some reason, I was thinking it was tonight. Oy!
This rain is never ending.
While I was out and about last night, I found chocolate licorice

And for your convenience the bastards have put it on a "Pre-Paid Debit or Visa card" with all sorts of fees and regulations attached. I don't buy things that have a "rebate" attached. If you're going to screw me with the price, don't tell me. Rebates are bullsh*t. If you can afford to send me $10 on a wasteful piece of plastic encoded with all sorts of other crap, then you can afford to sell the product for $10 less outright you greedy SOBs!

I'm up. I was up at seven for some unknown reason - I finally fell back asleep at eight-thirty - thankfully I was smart enough to set the alarm for ten, because I'm sure I would have slept right through the Dr. Chew appointment, which is in an hour. I had the weirdest dream ever, really three dreams in one all mashed up that made no sense at all.
Meaning.....sing part of one song.....sing part of another song......then sing parts of both songs at the same time.....You mean like "O Promise Me" and "Baby's Got Back"?
Meeting vibes for DR GEORGE.

Well I've now reached celebrity status: New World Records has received their first email from a "Herbert expert," wanting to know why he rceived no acknowledgement for his expertise being used and abused by me in my liner notes for the Herbert Songs. I guess you're a celebrity when others accuse you of ripping them off.
The answer is really simple: I didn't use anything of his and he offered no help at all to warrant an acknowledgement. I haven't even communicated with him since 2007, three years before I pulled songs from the Herbert Collection at the LoC.
And the word of the day is: SUDORIFIC!

I received a nice bundle of Bollywood DVDs today, including a 1953 Hindi version of HAMLET.
Don't know what to expect since my knowledge of HAMLET is limited to the version that the castaways performed on GILLIGAN'S ISLAND.

TOD: My mom makes an amazing frittata, which she calls an omelet because she doesn't know the word "frittata." Anyway, she bakes eggs with ham, Swiss and celery leaves in a cast-iron skillet and the flavors just melt together perfectly. I have never been able to duplicate it, and I don't know why. Mine are never as fluffy, even if I beat the eggs for many minutes, and they always stick to the pan, whereas hers comes out perfect every time.

There was nothing but malicious intent!
Back from Dr. Chew and picking up no packages. He prepared one tooth for its cap today - so, yes, I had Novocain, but he gave me enough topical numb thing that I didn't even feel the needle go in. Then he had to file down the cracked tooth to its nub - they leave just enough for the cap to bond to. That took a really long time. I get the real cap in two weeks, in the meantime, I have a temporary.
I got two crowns a year ago, two molars next to each other, but -- and this was completely new to me -- they were Same Day Crowns. Who knew? She did the drilling and filing down, took some kind of impressions and measurements (in some new high-tech process, all computerized), made sure I was numb and brushed something on the teeth to further protect them, and told me come back in three hours. When I got back, the two new porcelain crowns (I think they're still porcelain, but maybe the material is something new, too?) were waiting on the tray for me. Getting them in and positioned perfectly was awkward as hell (which is partly my fault, as I'm a royal pain in the bloomin' arse to do dental work on), but it was all done in an hour or so and I walked out of there whole.
BK, today was the worst of the 2 appointments it takes to complete a crown. Just be careful with the temporary - they're not very substantial and they come out pretty easily. Seating the permanent crown is usually pretty easy.
Temps are not very pretty, either. When I had my 4 front teeth capped in 1994, I referred to the temporaries as my Mrs. Doubtfire teeth.
Lucky you to have a dentist who could make your crown so quickly. Is she a young dentist with her own lab?
Speaking of the Victor Herbert collection - I'm in the middle of uploading them into iTunes. Very excited as I only know a handful of Victor Herbert music, mainly a few songs from operetta's.

DR Danise,Too cute!!! Thank you, DR Jane. I only ate about half the slice of cake. It's funny. I haven't been eating to many sweets since I discovered I have diabetes. You would think I would really enjoy it but it doesn't taste as good to me any more. Same with soda. I've been drinking Simply Lime or Simply Lemonade or plain water. I don't really care for the sweet drinks.

It looked like the crown "machine" was just that ... a machine sitting right there in the room with the dental chair. Or maybe what I saw was the computer part of something that takes place in some back room. As to your other question, well, she's younger and better looking than some of her patients! :) (Seriously, I always HIGHLY and unhesitatingly recommend her to anyone in the area who's in need or want of a fine dentist.)

Here's to healthy gums! :D
DR Jane--I'm glad to hear that Sherlock seems to be enjoying himself.
I gotta tell you. I did two a two-mile jog. The Novocain is finally wearing off and I must admit that area of my mouth doesn't feel all that great right now.
When I had a crown done, after all the prep work, they told me to just wait. He came back in after about a half hour with the new crown and put it on.

I hope you enjoy your special birthday gift money, Danise!I didn't spend it. I honestly don't know what I would want. I thought of a Kindle Fire or some such since my Itouch downloads books I can't justify the expense. I'm just happy the house is being taken care of. What more could I ask for? :)

Oh, totally. I was a little sore that evening, but after that they were just as natural feeling as anything else in my mouth. I'll ask her more about this when I go in for my checkup.

Reducing sweets, butter & salt has that reaction. I need to reduce my sugar intake. I've gotten used to it again.

I hope I never need to cap or replace my front teeth.
Ginny, have you eaten at a place in Dayton called Rue Dumaine? The chef, Anne Kearney, was up for a Beard Award for best chef of that region. She lost to a Chicago chef, but getting nominated for that is great.
Oh good lord, when ice cream calls, you have to answer the phone.You need to try some Greek Frozen Yogurt. I LOVE the "Taste of Inspirations" brand. Strawberry is wonderful!
Sorry folks being absent been under the weather again and spent some time in the hospital. So I can use some late night vibes sent may way.
Thanks
Well, time for me to leave work.Be safe and have a good "day" at work.
Be back later.

Back from Beth Malone's show - she was, as always, great. It's a good show, but I ultimately felt that the song selections, most unknown, don't always serve her wonderful storytelling. What happened prior to the show with an opening act that should never have been allowed anywhere (it was allowed because Beth was trying to be nice) was a textbook example of a self-indulgent performer thinking an audience cares about the screwed up life - note to performer: We don't know you and therefore we don't care, not when your act is a laundry list of how awful your life was. After forty-five minutes, Michael Sterling wisely got the hook (after she finished a song, he just got on the loudspeaker and said thank you. She was a little shocked she was done, but everyone in the audience, bar none, was thrilled. At one point I looked at the Hollises and said, "Why don't we all kill ourselves right now."
