I just got the Caroline, or Change CD. I'm listening to it right now! I usually like to listen to something at least three times before I make a definitive judgment, but so far (I just started track 4), I'm interested.

Hey, not so fast. I haven't weighed in on my thoughts about SIX FEET UNDER. I liked the show. I thought David had a couple of places where he not only did the wrong thing (I'm talking after he got into the mess he was in), but the stupid thing that I think even under extreme duress he could have acted upon. Can't be more specific, but I was shouting at the TV. I geuss that means I got REALLY caught up in the events of the episode. And, as I've been saying, my heart SO goes out to Nate that his storyline is ALWAYS interesting to me.

I've never had a broken arm, but I've sure thrown my back out, and I know how ghastly that can be. Can't move in the bed because the pain is so intense it wakes you up; can't do any of the normal day-to-day activities like breathing without it killing you. So, great commiseration for DRs RLP and Elmore on their ailments.

O Joy! O rapture! Had me some credit to use up at my local DVD place, and I got me my Showgirls box set (not due out for a few weeks, I think). Showgirls is truly one of the worst movies in the history of the cinema but I want it as a lesson in bad everything. Also, the box, which is limited, includes your Showgirls shot glasses, Showgirls playing cards, a tutorial on lap dancing, a pin the pasties on the Showgirl game, including the pasties, and ever so much more.

Whatcha gonna do with dem pasties, mister?

DR Jane: re: litter box...I dunno. Jury-rigged the bag I needed to scoop into...used my body to stabilize box (after having put it on a countertop in the bathroom)...pulled and tugged and pushed. I got it done. Not without spills and one-handed cleanup after.

Yesterday, I had an overwhelming urge to clean my refrigerator. I did one heck of a super cleaning but have only vague impressions of actually doing it.

I'm surprisingly "sudden" when a thing pops into my head. I think it's the Vicodin!

This morning at 6:30, I had my bed stripped and sheets in the washer. Made up the bed, too. I'm stunned, but I dont feel helpless one bit!

I learned a new expression today. I had to look up jury-rigged.

I think your last statement explains this sudden urge to clean. I hope all you are doing won't hurt your arm but I am very impressed.

If it is any help RLP, this house and my car could do with a good clean. Are you free? I will probably need to break an arm etc before the urge to go and clean everything takes hold.

Best of vibes to RLP & Elmore - and to anyone else in need of same.

bk · « **Reply #96 on:** July 19, 2004, 05:07:23 PM »

I'm off to rehearsal and then I shall return, hopefully to see lots of postings for my mental delectation.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #97 on:** July 19, 2004, 05:08:40 PM »

Memory tells me that "jury rigged" is a nautical term or is it just naughty?
Not used here but isn't is something to do with doing what you can with what you have- makeshift.

RLP & Jane. Definition please.

Emily · « **Reply #98 on:** July 19, 2004, 05:10:42 PM »

the chat room is open and we're in there - come join in!

George · « **Reply #99 on:** July 19, 2004, 05:15:35 PM »

Tomovoz, exactly. Jury (2nd definition in an on-line dictionary) NAUTICAL: Intended or designed for temporary use; makeshift: a jury rig.

Jay · « **Reply #100 on:** July 19, 2004, 05:20:07 PM »

So nu? Why isn't everyone in chat?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #101 on:** July 19, 2004, 05:37:23 PM »

Thank you George.

George · « **Reply #102 on:** July 19, 2004, 05:39:37 PM »

I was in chat for just a few minutes and it was sparkling and lively. BK was not there, but others were. Just had to share.

George · « **Reply #103 on:** July 19, 2004, 05:41:01 PM »

Now I must hie myself to the Wilde of Tangle (housing development) where my parents live and eat the dinner that they will be serving. I don't know what it will be, but more than likely, it won't be something that I like. She does that. Oh, well. It's free.

Jane · « **Reply #104 on:** July 19, 2004, 05:53:06 PM »

Jury rigged is from the days of sailing ships and dates from the early 1600s, if not earlier. It refers to a mast which is makeshift or a temporary contrivance, perhaps because the original was lost or damaged in a storm. Nobody knows for sure where it comes from.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #105 on:** July 19, 2004, 05:54:46 PM »

Perhaps it took 12 men to hold up the mast!

George have you tried making requests?

Panni · « **Reply #108 on:** July 19, 2004, 06:25:57 PM »

Jane - Yes, I got tons of writing done today. I'm beginning to see the end of this portion of the process. Thursday, if all goes well. Did you watch the other movie yet? No rush, just curious.

Panni · « **Reply #109 on:** July 19, 2004, 06:27:52 PM »

The boxset of SHOWGIRLS sounds deevine. I would love it. Although I already own showgirl pasties. There's a provocative statement for you.

Panni · « **Reply #110 on:** July 19, 2004, 06:28:54 PM »

...with red tassels.

Jane · « **Reply #111 on:** July 19, 2004, 06:30:50 PM »

Panni, I think we will watch it tonight.

Yesterday, in keeping with our documentary mood we watched THE FOG OF WAR.

Tons of writing-that’s great. I hope you pleased with it all.

Jane · « **Reply #112 on:** July 19, 2004, 06:31:49 PM »

And I thought you said you are shy.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #113 on:** July 19, 2004, 06:38:24 PM »

When I spoke to my sister this morning she said her new kitten was playing with her tassles. I thought she meant ones on the curtains. I must check.

I am. The tassels were for a role I played when I was still an actress. I'm shy as ME, but not as a character on stage.

As you said earlier, people can be quite surprising!

Wow, BK, a SHOWGIRLS boxed set! Oh, my golly! I saw that movie once....and that was enough. Matt Battaglia is in it...he plays a not very nice man.

And I am pleased to report that my buddy Terry is out of the hospital now. As it turned out he had an alergic reaction to meds he was taking for his bronchitis and that somehow or other triggered a mild heart attack.

There will still be some tests on his lungs however.

Terry was very worried that he was going to miss this weekends Beer Garden in downtown Portland! LOL!

Jane · « **Reply #119 on:** July 19, 2004, 06:52:52 PM »

MBarnum I hope your friend Terry will follow your example and make changes in his eating and smoking habbits.
