I didn't mean to say I thought she should have happily lied, if she got on the stand and said she had been contacted by phone or mail I would have been very disappointed in the character. Without having the dialogue in front of me, I can't put my finger on it, but somehow while I was watching the show I felt her whole attitude was that she was operating on a higher moral plane than those without her gift, and it annoyed meI loved this! I laughed out loud, not something I am often moved to do while watching the TV machine

I think you're talking about the scene which followed her phone call in which she told her husband she needed him home for an urgent matter and that he should tell "Kelly" that his family needed him that night.

She was a bit over-the-top here...in the throes of doubt and having a personal crisis of conscience because she was "again" being asked to deny who/what she was.

This is a theme that should resonate across society when folks who are different are urged by family members NOT to be truthful for fear of what other folks would say/do/put the family through.

Her husband made some excellent points. They were selfish, true, but they concerned the family unit and the little girls.

On the other hand, she had to take great care not to reveal crucial information about herself -- and didn't the defense attorney toy with us/tease us because we never really knew whether he was going to accuse her of being a psychic or accuse her of being "intimate" with someone close to the case...perhaps the person who put the gun in the coffin.

That "so you're saying you DID meet the anonymous tipster face-to-face" line seemed to indicate he was going to accuse her of something totally different.

Meanwhile, she was reading him and reading him and reading him...and he NEVER knew what hit him when it hit.

Musicals Tonight has announced that their final show of the season (replacing THE APPLE TREE which was originally scheduled until Encores also announced it) will be DRAT THE CAT!. No doubt the excellent recording BK produced helped them to decide to produce this undiscovered gem.

Good news about Drat! The Cat! We tried for years to get Encores! and/or Reprise! to do it and never had any luck at all. I'll probably come in to see it.

We will watch Medium tonight-it was on too late for us last night. Instead we finally watched an excellent episode of STARGATE ATLANTIS.

Keith has never been a patient for very long-the man gets over things so quickly it just isn’t fair.

Ah! A fellow Long Islander!

Dear DR Vixmom: Being a recent arrival in these here parts, you may not realize that sometimes, you DO get two for the price of one. DR Jay and I are actual brothers. We grew up in the same apartment in Brooklyn. Shared the same room, as siblings are wont to do in pre-war buildings that were not designed for a post war baby-boom.

Unlike my brother, however, I never considered myself a Long Islander. Being a Brooklynite was enough of an albatross. At the time. Now, I consider it a badge of honor.

And now I reside in Rochester. Which has its own issues.

I got in trouble once for playing tag when I was in second grade. I was It and I was chasing this guy named Brian. We ran by the Mean Playground Lady, and she yelled at me for chasing Brian and made me sit at the wall for the rest of recess as punishment. I guess she didn't realize we were playing tag and thought I was just chasing him. I always wondered what she thought I was going to do to Brian once I caught him.

By the way, the Nice Playground Lady came by a few minutes later and set me free. So it has a happy ending. Although Brian and I never did finish that game of tag.

As to tropical climates, der B,...And, DerBrucer,...

Hmmm. Generally, der B gets confused with me, not the other way around. He took on a completely different persona at another board where I used to post, in order to make sure people didn't confuse us. His getting credited with my posts is a different sort of occasion!

Point of clarification: Generally, I will start a participation at a site, with der B following. Because of this, some less-than-astute people have decided that anything he writes is something actually coming from me. The idea that we can be two separate people with individual brains never occurs to them. This is frustrating, because he really is the smarter of the two of us; I have to rely on being more clever.

For somthing that I have posted to be attributed to him just shows that something of him is rubbing off on me! (But I refuse to wave my arms in the air when talking excitedly; I'm enough of a klutz that I'd most likely whack someone in the face.)

A question for any Dear Reader (and especially Dear Reader/Dear Brother Stuart) who might have an opinion on the matter, even though today is not Wednesday:

In today's L.A. Times it was announced that Cher will be offering the absolutely final farewell performance of her Absolutely Final Farewell Tour at the Hollywood Bowl on Saturday, April 30.

Is this something I need to see?

I cannot imagine anyone else here going.

I was teasing, since in my experience. most people from Brooklyn and Queens do NOT consider themselves Long Islanders, and will indeed argue that they don't now(nor have they ever) live on Long Island. I work in an office at the Nassau County /Queens border, literally 1/2 block from Queens.. WhenI try to make appointment for people to come to the office from Queens or Brooklyn they invariably whine

"I hafta go out ta tha EYElan?"

As you may or may not have learned in your time at this board -- especially recently -- DR SWW, the contributors on this board have vast amounts of knowledge (which they may or may not trot out at the drop of a hat), and a startling array of likes and dislikes in terms of food, entertainment, and music and people (which they may or may not broadcast at every whim).

It may be that my taste in music may not be the same as yours, but I will also bet that there are good many other dear readers out there who do enjoy Cher. And that they, like I, might be offended by your comments.

But you are in New York, and the event is in Los Angeles!

I suppose it's concievable that someone could travel cross-country for the show, but personally it boggles the mind.

Well DRStuart, I almost listed "Gypsies Tramps and Thieves" as one of my fave 70s songs!

The problem with all the pop music from the 60s and 70s that I listen to is that I never can remember in which era I originally heard it. for instance, I thought "Here You Come Again," a song I love is from the 80s! Oy!

S. Woody White · « **Reply #115 on:** February 01, 2005, 12:05:37 PM »

I never was big on the 70s, music or otherwise. It just wasn't a good decade for me. Frankly, I was quite boring back then. $:-\$

elmore3003 · « **Reply #116 on:** February 01, 2005, 12:06:37 PM »

But I wasn't offended!

I learned at an early age, from the strange looks of my brother, his friends and other critics that I didn't care what they thought of my listening choices.

So, I'm waiting for the laundry room in the basement to becoem free and feeling lost until I can get this pile of clothes off my floor.

Curious you should say that. I spent a large amount of time today and yesterday editing my posts on this ~~hear~~ here board. An ~~uncharatceristic~~ uncharacteristic number of missspellings and typos. It's turning 60, that's what it is.
