Well, you've read the notes, the notes were anniversary-like, and now it is time for you to post until the anniversary cows come home.

The 18th anniversary is celebrated at the end of the 18th year, so we're now going into the 19th year.

Well, I need to get to sleep.  I don't get to sleep in this morning because I have some things to do.  Then, I'll usher again for Songs for a New World, as will my friend Margo, then I'm sure that we'll go out to eat afterward.

Have a good day, all!

It was a dreadful night.  I am out of my meds so I have no muscle relaxer and can no longer stand upright, and my damned doctor has received three requests from me since last Monday about prescriptions and done nothing.  I do not know if this means she is away, but someone should be handling her messages.  I'm preparing to send a very angry one today since I can do nothing about the prescriptions until Monday at the earliest, and I am very pissed.

My finances have once again gone to hell and I need to pull $500 out of my ass before the 18th.  God knows how I'm going to do it.  I'm ready to pack the cats' bags, send them off, and overdose.  Between the pain and health issues, no work, and the stress of simply keeping myself alive are wearing me down.

Former DR JMK brought me here.  He kept sending me questions about Broadway trivia that I would work on.....and it turns out that they were questions on the old message board.

They were most entertaining....  DR JMK and I had become acquainted in the wild west days of Ebay when we were both bidding on Frances Farmer items.....

He mentioned this here site, and I came here.  In those days, you could post underneath the notes....and sign any name you liked.  I think I posted as Ethel Merman and Neely O'Hara a few times before I finally decided on my Jrand handle.
Title: Re: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO HAINESHISWAY.COM
Post by: Jrand73 on November 09, 2019, 05:45:50 AM
Whoever guessed the trivia question got a Sparkling Prize....and I believe I won a couple of them.

HOWEVER I knew Mr BK before coming here.  Of course I had seen him on television....but once while perusing Amazon I came upon BENJAMIN KRITZER, and the cover was so mesmerizing that I ordered the book, which of course I loved.

I have always enjoyed the folks here at HHW, although there have been some irritating and annoying ones as well....most of them are gone.  HA!

And we always seem to get two good ones for every ONE that happens to go.

Post by: Jrand73 on November 09, 2019, 05:48:28 AM
I brought former DR MICHAEL BARNUM here, although he is now gone......

I fondly remember DR Susan Gordon, the Den Mother; DR JOSE, with whom I share a birthday....month and day NOT year; and some others.

I guess I came here in 2003 or maybe 2002...

But is is always fun and nice way to spend the day.

I stumbled in by accident, former dear reader William F. Orr related a story about a birthday gift I had given him and mentioned my maiden name in full.

In a moment of boredom at work , while stuck on eternal hold with a bank, I googled my maiden name and the post showed up.

I actually joined just to prank WFO (which is why my name is Vixmom) it was a hint to my identity so WFO could figure it out.

WFO encouraged me to stick around assuring me that I would love it here.

He was right.

So, the Scalphunters continues. It's not great, but it's fairly enjoyable. I guess it belongs to that series of adult westerns that came about when the ratings system came in. A little more cussing, a little more violence, a little more sex.

Held even dearer was how you greeted the Vixter with open arms.

When, just 3 months after completing chemo and radiation therapy, I was rushed to the hospital for emergency gall bladder surgery 16 year old Vixter came here for comfort and support and you all were there for her.

I will love you all forever for that alone.

I was doing the Trivia contests for quite a while, which was such fun and actually educational, and one day BK sent an email that he was putting some extra clues in the (I think he said?) comments - which I hadn't realized were a community.

Larry from yesterday: "My finances have once again gone to hell and I need to pull $500 out of my ass before the 18th."

This reminds me of that joke recalled by Mickey Rooney as "Hortense" in Sugar Babies:  She danced a little on her left leg and they threw money.  Then she danced a little on her right leg and they threw money. Pretty soon, between her left leg and her right leg, she made a fortune and was able to afford a beautiful apartment.

And this from Bette Midler:

Sophie:  "Oh no, Ernie's coming home now and he's got a bouquet of flowers for me."
Neighbor:  "What's wrong with that, Soph?"
Sophie:  "That means I'm gonna have my legs in the air all weekend."
Neighbor:  "You don't have a vase?"

Today I saw "The Current War."   I learned more about Alternating vs Direct Current than I ever thought I would.  It was actually an entertaining movie and some of it takes place in my hometown, Buffalo, which apparently has the dubious distinction of being the location of the first use of the electric chair.

I called the pharmacy and the prescriptions were indeed filled and waiting on me, so I caught a bus, and now I'm home.

I'm glad you have them and don't have to wait until next week, but how REALLY annoying! Had the pharmacy not tried to call you?

Really liking The Brotherhood of the Bell. It's going in weird directions with an Alex Jones-type announcer played with glee by William Conrad. I should be in bed, but I've got 15 minutes left and I'm going to watch it all.

Well, I need to get to sleep.  I don't get to sleep in this morning because I have some things to do.  Then, I'll usher again for Songs for a New World, as will my friend Margo, then I'm sure that we'll go out to eat afterward.

Have a good day, all!

Well, Songs for a New World was still good. :)

So, the Scalphunters continues. It's not great, but it's fairly enjoyable. I guess it belongs to that series of adult westerns that came about when the ratings system came in. A little more cussing, a little more violence, a little more sex.

For some reason when I read the first two sentences, "So, the Scalphunters continues. It's not great, but it's fairly enjoyable," I was thinking "headhunter" (like we're-looking-for-an-employee-for-a-job headhunter) and thought, "What?  John got ANOTHER job offer??" ;D

DR elmore do you text?  If so ask your pharmacy if they offer text notifications.  Our pharmacy sends a  quick text.  Later, within the next few days, we receive a robo call.

Is it possible to have them automatically mailed to you?  I'm able to have mine mailed and they arrive pretty quickly.

We did.  It's a short show, only about 90 minutes, including the intermission.  We walked to a local dive a couple of blocks away called King Solomon's Reef (https://www.kingsolomonsreef.com/) (or just The Reef).

It was kind of fun.  It was kind of like eavesdropping at any of our local theaters.  They mentioned several times that it was the largest and most complicated production they had ever attempted.

Yes.  It's a "Passion Project" (whatever that exactly means).  Tonight, I'd overheard someone saying that they heard that BOP is losing money on this.  They have not had big crowds at all.  Those who've seen it have really enjoyed it, but not a lot of people have seen it.
