BK's post reminds me of a favorite ditty from my Yeshivah days:

Oh once there was a wicked wicked man,
And Hayman was his name, Sir.
He would have murdered all the Jews,
Tho they were not to blame, Sir.

CHORUS:
Oh today we'll merry merry be
Oh today we'll merry merry be
Oh today we'll merry merry be
And nosh some hamentashen.

And Esther was the lovely queen of King Ahashveyrosh
When Hayman said he'd kill us all,
Oh my how he did scare us.

CHORUS

But Mordechai her cousin bold
Said: "What a dreadful chutzpah
If guns were but invented now,
This Hayman I would shoot, Sir."

CHORUS

I didn't say I NEVER drink, lol, of course I'd love to go for a night-cap at the Algonquin again. That was fun!

Count me in, too! We can be our very own Round Table.

Maria, while no where near as traumatic, there are certain breath smells that affect me emotionally. My mother would cover up the smell of alcohol with mouthwash. So oddly enough the smell of liquor is fine with me but certain mouthwashes, boy or boy. All I have to do is turn my head & the problem is solved, not so easy with fireworks.

Are you okay when you watch them? They are so beautiful & you can see the cause of the noise.

TCB do you have an elevator in your building?

Nope, I am afraid not.

Never attended a Yeshiva (and my name isn't Barbra) -- but in my acting days I was in a production of The Dybbuk. By the time I'd toured with the play all over Canada and a little in the US - I felt as if I HAD been to Yeshiva.

If I'm far enough away, it's quite nice. It's just that this is SO loud that it even set off car alarms on my street.

I don't usualy laugh out loud FJL. Just the appreciative smiles! Today LOUD. Thank you.

I wish I'd toured in THE DYBBUK rather than spend all those years in Yeshivah.

Just kidding, Yeshivah of Flatbush actually gave me a great education.

Rodzinski, tell Mr. Boorman I'm watching Leo the Last at last. And, thirty minutes in, he OWES me large.

TCB how long will it take after your surgery before you can walk stairs? What will you do about your laundry? I'm glad the "kids" are close by to fetch you food, etc.

Will Ann watch the babies while you are away?

Tomovoz · « **Reply #166 on:** May 07, 2006, 07:55:50 PM »

Whoops. I had to go back and check some posts..

Congratulations DR Ginny.

Last night we watched the Genisis awards. I will admit we did speed through a few of the exceptionally difficult scenes. All & all it was excellent & we plan to watch next year. I think Keith cried more over the Katrina (a black lab) story than I did.

After watching clips from the Animal Planet special, Jane Goodall’s When Animals Talk, I have TIVO set to record it next it airs again.

Jane, after the hospital stay and the week in rehab, I should be able to return to my apartment. I will be able to do the stairs, it will just take me a lot longer on a walker. I have a dear friend who will come over and pick up my laundry for me when I first get home.

I am hoping that Jed and Ann will take care of the kids.

Thanks to DRs TCB, FJL, Tomovoz, Dan(the Man).

I have to work a 5-day week, starting early tomorrow - 'night!

I had steak and baked potato on Tuesday. But reading about it today has made me want it again. Have lunch plans tomorrow but maybe Tuesday again. We'll see.

I finished RICH, YOUNG, AND PRETTY, and on the end of the laserdisc was the theatrical trailer. It was an interesting one with David Rose (who was the film's music director) narrating and offering a preview devoid totally of superlatives and oversell. Quite refreshing to see this.

COLD CASE featured a story about an ER doctor who developed a gambling addiction. Very sad episode.

I am having steak and vegies in a matter of minutes and while eating steak and viegies I will be watching the Hammer Films THE KISS OF THE VAMPIRE...which I have never seen..watched BRIDES OF DRACULA ealier today...which I had also never seen...at least not the whole thing...I believe it was one of those films that as a kid scared the bejeepers out of me and so I never saw the whole thing.

And CROSSING JORDAN

spoiler - - - - - - -

featured the murder of Jordan's ex-lover for which she has been framed. It's the season finale which means, of course, there's a cliffhanger and a solution that will spill over into next season.

Thankfully, the show was renewed and will be back to finish the story! Only, at this point, we don't know what night of the week NBC will move it to. I'm guessing Friday at 10 p.m. next season, but that's purely a guess.
