Questions from Dear non Reader Colin: Doesn't anyone work? How do all those people have the time to post. Is it their lunchbreak? I think the question is really, "OK You are retired but you could be working around the house or in the garden and not spending so much time at HHW?"

bk · « **Reply #151 on:** November 13, 2003, 01:31:20 PM »

There is no such thing as spending too much time at HHW.

Thanks, Jane.

Tom - Some of us post to avoid the monotony work. The busier the day, the less often I check in and/or post.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #153 on:** November 13, 2003, 01:33:27 PM »

I shall indeed pass that message on BK. Is it a coincidence that we have not heard from Jose since I posted his photo and we have not heard form François since I posted mine?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #154 on:** November 13, 2003, 01:37:52 PM »

I have a question for DnR Colin: What are the truly important things you do during the day, other than not post at HHW?

What are your pleasures?

Emily · « **Reply #155 on:** November 13, 2003, 01:40:06 PM »

HHW has become part of my daily routine.

I check it whenever I log on to the internet.

If I'm bored (or am writing a very broing essay) I check in more frequently than if I am stuck at work with a gazillion things to do.

Although if everyone of my posts has taken an average of 3 minutes to write, then I have spent... hmm... 411 minutes (6 hr 51 min) posting since the board made the big switch.

That of course doesn't take into consideration the amount of time to takes to READ everyone else's posts... or BK's notes for that matter...

Wow. That's a lot of time here guys.

Craig · « **Reply #156 on:** November 13, 2003, 01:40:55 PM »

I have a VERY important question Mr. BK. What has happened to your darling daughter Jennifer (DDJ). One would think she has fallen off the earth.. or at least this message board!

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #157 on:** November 13, 2003, 01:41:25 PM »

DR Tom from Oz: In some cultures, there are NO coincidences.

There are, or may be, consequences, however....

Why is it that every time I post and see that huge "Sally of the Tropics" thread title, I feel like I'm in some Ann Sothern B movie?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #159 on:** November 13, 2003, 01:43:56 PM »

DR NON Reader Colin is walking Fosca & Magnus (who are quite capable of doing it themselves). He seems to think that golf, gardening and painting are important. Poor misguided man. He had never seen a musical until I introduced hime to the supreme entertainment and weened him off his Australian Rules football addiction. He still thinks sport is important!

The DD is settling in in her new digs in Carson City. I'm not even sure they have a home computer, so until she goes back to work I doubt she'll be around.

Did you know that it is more difficult to write the About the Book copy for Kritzer Time than it was to write the book?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #162 on:** November 13, 2003, 01:46:14 PM »

It has to be an adjustment for him, since you guys got a high-speed service.

You are online more...yes?

Not as readily at his side, shall we say?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #163 on:** November 13, 2003, 01:47:40 PM »

I'm just taking a wild stab at it, but "the DD" is "the dear daughter" and not "Doris Day" or "Doris Duke", both of whom have been discussed here today?

And speaking of folks who must be working, where the frell is Ben today?

And MBarnum?

On the other hand, let me just say how grand I think it is that DR Craig is posting more frequently.

Folks can make strangers of themselves from time to time.

I do think it should be an HHW.com RULE that Brother Mark Bakalor post here at least once a day, preferably with something censorious to say.

can't you just imagine a raucaus rock-tinged opening number?

oh and those funny little referees need a dance sequence...

Bruce-

That is because your well crafted third book is a meal on every page and you are trying to cram all those meals into an appetizer...

THAT is why you are having such tsuris (sp?).

How do you sum up years in someone life with a paragraph?

Jason · « **Reply #168 on:** November 13, 2003, 01:52:06 PM »

Can I just say, I hate stuffing envelopes and filing? More specifically, my cuticles hate it. I'm bleeding, Dear Readers, as I write this and it's all MTI's fault.

I only have time to post at work when I'm working the phones up front. Otherwise, I have no access to a computer. And even then, if the phones are busy, fugheddaboutit.

I'm still trying to find someone to go with me to see ANNA IN THE TROPICS tonight. The show starts at 8:00 at the Royale...

How do you measure...measure a year?

Measure in love...Seasons of love.

DR Craig: How does one sum up a lifetime in one paragraph?

Thanks to all for the kind comments about our dear departed Ethel. Ethel was a little over 10 years old, not that old, really, but starting to show her age. She developed cancer almost a year ago and underwent a very major surgery which we didn't think she'd pull through, but she did. Then she had four or five really good months (after a slow recovery), but then unfortunately relapsed.

To whomever posted about bassets--I grew up with bassets. Ours were named Happy and, later, Hattie (AKA Harriet). Happy was my real childhood dog--we had her from when I was about 3 or 4 until the day after Christmas 1969, which will forever be burned into my memory. She had been sick for a long time, too, and my Dad finally took her to the vet that day. My sister took me to see Butch Cassidy that night to get my mind off of missing Happy. Funny how you never forget little moments like that, eh?

Wow...I had no idea that Black Comedy was such a popular play! I hadn't even heard of it until last year when we put it on. It was great fun though. I loved playing drunk as Miss Furnival...uhh...of course I was only working from imagination here!

TCB--What a great story! I had no idea that pic was of you playing Gorringe...it must have been a blast for you! And LOL about Demi/Ashton...that was what I was going for.

Maybe they should do some weird conglomeration of Ashton's and Demi's names, along the lines of Bennifer. Dashton, anyone?

Ron--You know, it's funny...sometimes when I hear Barbara Cook singing I think she sounds like the other Babs, only as a lyric soprano. But she just strikes me as too....hmmm....legit (never mind the goyishness, that isn't a big deal)....to play Fanny Brice very well. Does that make any sense at all?

Good vibes to Jason's cuticles! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You wish TCB. Back in a few hours everyone. Enjoy your afternoon.

You can't sum it up - you just have to use shorthand to make it sound appealing and give readers a hint of what they're in for, along with introducing any major new characters. It's really hard, as it was on the first two books.

I would think expert direction to be the key to a successful BLACK COMEDY. I saw a local production that was hilarious, but I could see that in the wrong hands, it could be a disaster.

On the same day in 1938, Judy Garland and Hedy Lammar were elevated to star status at MGM and presented with their own separate star makeup and costume trailers.
