Thanks Laura II.  I’m not familiar with the books so looked them up & found Bette Midler loves them.

Tomorrow morning my Wednesday hiking group is taking the annual hike on Table Rock to see the wildflowers.  Dogs aren’t allowed & I usually don’t go.  However I think I will sneak out tomorrow morning & go.  I won’t feel so guilty walking without Echo now.

Hi folks!  I’m back!

Let me get this rant off my chest and all will back to rights and I also promise not to mention it again. :-)

I just want to say that I never knew that sinus had anything to do with teeth.  I never knew that teeth could hurt as badly as mine did.  My most sincere wish is that none of you have that kind pain EVER!  I would never even  wish what happened to me to happen to my worst enemy.  I mean that.

The night guard isn’t as bad as I thought it would be.  I had the thing you see football players use in mind for what it would look like.  I didn’t think I could breath with something that large in my mouth.  It turned out to be very light and clear.  It fits so snug you don’t even know it’s there.  I don’t think I’ll have to much of a problem getting used to it.  I say that now but we see.

I learned two very valuable lessons from this.

1.) Doctor Danise is a quack who practices medicine without a license.  In her considered opinion, I was going to lose at least 4  teeth and wouldn’t THAT have been too too with my trips coming up?  I can see myself as gap toothed in NYC.  Ye ha.  Just call me vain that way.

2.) When your teeth start to hum, do NOT assume it is because they don’t know the words.  Get thee to a dentist/doctor ASAP!  

My teeth started to hurt the Saturday before last but did I take the time to get to the dentist on Monday, NOOOO, I waited until Thursday.  By then I was in real trouble.  Happy April Fools Day to me!  I was a fool alright.  

Now that I’ve rejoined the ranks of the carnivores (no more soft food for me!) I can’t begin to tell you how much I’m looking forward to my first steak tomorrow night.  Yum!  At this point, I don’t think I can look at another banana.  

I shall make merry and dance the horta and eat and eat and eat.  Well, as long as it’s low carb.   ;D

I’m sorry for any birthdays, vibes and anything else I’ve missed out on.  GOOD VIBES to all!  Errr except for teeth.  No more vibrating teeth.  Ever.  

[move=left,scroll,6,transparent,100%]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/move]

I was so out of it, I didn’t realize this Sunday was Easter and we all know what means, don’t we? Jrand may have tried to tell me but I was in such a daze I didn’t catch it.  I need to change my dress to my Easter clothes!  I need an Easter bonnet!  I shall fix that post haste and be back.

Being out from work on Thursday and Friday put me a little behind on my reading but I did read yesterday and today, for example.

My four o’clocks are starting to come up!  I’m very excited to see what colors they turn out to be.  I was going to plant each seed but then thought they aren’t like that in the field and look beautiful.  I just mixed the different colored seeds in my hand, sprinkled them on the ground and hoped for the best.  

Thank you, Jane for all the e-mails.  They really did help.   :)

So glad you are feeling better, Danise. I knew that sinus trouble can cause tooth pain. I'm glad your dentist caught it.

DR Danise:  I hope you are not, mouth breather that you are, a heavy snorer.

Why?

Because you may awaken one morning and not know where your mouthguard is.

I wore one for years.  At some point during the night, the guard would go sailing out of my mouth and land hither, thither and yon.

Once, one of the cats decided it was a toy.  I never used it again.

I use Breathe Right strips now...have used them for 10 years and they really help.

I'm in Tarnation, and it's not a New York State of Mind.  I check in and read the posts and if I have anything to add, I add it.  The TOTD seems to have slowed down a mite.  

I had a good time with Miss Charlotte Raines at SCOOBY DOO 2, and I'm back here working on Mickey & Judy.  I was invited to a preview performance of a comedy group at the Houseman tonight, but I had to work on the pops thing instead.  The producer's got another number to give me tomorrow morning.  'Night, all!  I'll check in and read some more posts later.

I dunno 'bout you, but I was watching Frasier, which guest-starred two (count 'em, two) of my favorite actresses...Jennifer Tilly and the divine Laura Linney, whom I have a crush on, even though I'm not inclined in her direction if you know what I mean and I think you do.

Okay, where are the ham chunks, the party hats, and the streamers???  I just saw that we had gone over 36000 posts a little earlier, so I was sure there must have been a party going on at this here site.

JRand53, all the good vibes and wishes are beginning to work.  Echo barked awhile ago, a sign that she is a bit better.  So yes, tomorrow should be better.

RLP images of your flying mouth guard & the cat are hysterical.  My children almost lost a couple of mouth contraptions to pets, from leaving them in various locations, not from snoring.

Danise I look forward to your Easter bonnet-and you are very welcome.

TCB we were waiting for you.

I’m feeling much better now. :D

I admit it, I listen to Backstreet Boys.   ;)
I also listen to Josh Groban.  ;)
and then, I also listen to Lang Lang.  ;)

MUSICAL WISE, I'd say that THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS is worthy of guilty-pleasure viewing.  
The Jose Ferrer-directed STATE FAIR is a hoot and a holler!  Especially, Missy Ann-Margret's "Isn't It Kinda Fun?" which I nominate as the finest example of guilty-pleasure musical sequences.

Back with my Easter outfit.  It’s the best I could do on short notice.

As for snoring.  I can assure you that I have never heard myself snore and being the lady I am, I am sure that if I did so it would be soft as a sigh.

The stories of the car alarms that were set off three floors above and below the one time I took a nap in a friends car at lunch are a set of  cruel lies told by extremely jealous people.  Besides, the wind was blowing very hard that day (I’m sure) and  the building must have been shook.   ::)   :D

Best vibes to Echo, Jane!

Well,  I have to go give this new Night Guard a try.  Have a good evening all~

Thanks for the good vibes. :D

My father’s condo closed escrow today.  I’m happy & relieved, yet it’s somewhat bittersweet.  My sister’s condo will be closing soon (not that I ever wanted to go there).  It all just feels strange.  When I return to LA these places will no longer be part of my life, yet I will drive by or near them often.  

On that thought what new place shall I visit when we are in LA next month?  That place where the HHW gathering will be. :D

Guilty Pleasures?  There ain't no guilt in pleasure!  ;)  If I like something, I like it and don't apologize for it.

Otherwise, "Xanadu" and "There's No Business Like Show Business" are about the only things that I could say qualify as "guilty pleasures."  I can't think of any play or musical that I really like that no one else does.  There are a lot that I know of that most don't, but that's not the same thing.

Anyway, my computer is still dead.  :'( I hope it's not a hopeless case.  My sister's boyfriend (my tech support) hasn't updated me on it's condition since yesterday when he lost the eBay auction for a new motherboard for my computer.

Poor Echo!  My dear poodle, Buttons, and I wish her a speedy recovery.

DR Jenny, don't be embarrassed about the book title! I've always wanted to read that series, just haven't gotten around to it.

Skip them, Laura.  They're really not very good.

A mixed day. Went to three different stores and ended up over paying for Meet Me in St. Louis. Have disc trouble with the #1. So back it goes tomorrow. But what I would like to know how much of an improvement is it really? Compared to the clips in the documentaries it is night and day, but compared to previous video releases how does it stack up. I was expecting something truely revolutionary with this new restoration process, and watched in on my HD TV but nothing special. And why aren't the lyrics to the songs present with the english lyrics but are available on closes captioning. This is not the first musical I have noticed it. Hello, Dolly was another.

And talking of Mary Poppins I also noticed in Best Buy that those Mary Poppins kids are also in The Gnome Mobile. Not sure if I ever saw that film.

A completely random musing upon revisiting the HBO "Angels In America": I suppose the cut scene where Prior and Belize sing "Hark!  The Herald Angels Sing" isn't really important, but whenever Prior encounteres the angel, she sings "Glory to..." as she leaves.  As in "Glory to...the newborn king."  Without Prior equating her visits to that song, her singing those two words doesn't make much sense.
