IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were especially cheery, and now it is time for you to post until the cheery cows come home.  To it, I say.

Nosegay....that's a wonderful word. I haven't thought of that in many a year.

George, I'm glad they figured out the problem, but sorry you're liable.

If the water is coming from outback, wouldn't it be TomovOz's fault?

There's probably a joke to be made around BenGay and nosegay, but I'm too tired to figure out what it might be...

If only the "outback" had water to spare. Maybe that's the reason we havea serious drought - Washington has taken our supply.

It's nearly Noel Gay season.   Maybe that's Gay Noel.

My niece works in the field of "HIV research" (Social research into HIV +ve Pregnant Women).

Her second child was born this morning. Somehow it seems the perfect day. A good news day when there are so many memories of loved ones lost.

Thanks for the reminder. I still have a red ribbon from last year, given to me by David Hyde Pierce post-"Spamalot". I've lost several friends and family members. I hope this will be the year they find a cure, and also a cure for SMA.

But I won't call you an "Uncle Tom"! (Does that translate in Australia?)

Congratulations to your niece!

Thanks.  But I'm sure that Tomovoz would just blame Jose! ;)

I prefer to remember it's Gilbert O'Sullivan's birthday. I hope he doesn't spend it Alone Again.

George, I'm sorry to hear about your wet carpet. I hope a solution is found soon.

Thank you.  As much water as was cleaning up, the steam cleaner that I was able to borrow from my neighbor wasn't made to do what I need done (it's still very wet :'(), so I called this company that cleans up after fires and floods and things like that.  They come in and soak up all the water (my condo being built on a solid concrete slab helps), replace the carpet pad, bring in fans to circulate the air, dehumidifiers (large or extra-large) and apply an anti-microbial solution to help prevent mold or mildew, which their website says that it can start within hours of the leak!!  They're going to call back in the morning to set up a time to come.  If they need to come tomorrow, my sister might be able to stay here and let them in (Cannibal:  The Musical opens tomorrow!!), or if it can wait, they can come Saturday morning and take all day.  It's not going to be cheap, but I just got paid and my sister said that she can help (since she just sold her house!).  To paraphrase Blanche DuBois...I have always depended on the kindness of family. ::)

Well, I decided to take today off from work, even though I took yesterday off, too.  I really don't think that I'll be able to work effectively with all that's happened...AND have a good performance tonight.  So, I think I'll be able to clean up some more water throughout the day at a relaxed pace without worring about what the heck's going on (and hopefully the pipe that burst will be found and fixed, too)!  But now that solutions have been presented for the condo problems, right now I really feel that it would be a good thing for me to not to have to worry about being at work.

And now, I'm going to log into my work e-mail and send the appropriate messages saying that I'm not coming into work again, and then I'm going to sleep, which I desperately need.  I'm sure I'll be woken up by the wet carpet fixers calling to make an appointment, but then I can go to my sister's to take a shower...which I also deperately need.

So, good night, Edisaurus (and any and all guests).

;D

Good morning, all!  I'm hardly awake, but I'm rarin' to get on that plane and meet The Brain!  I think there should be no flight complications this morning, so all I ask is a safe flight and all the vibes you can continue to send!

DR George, I am so sorry about the plumbing problem.  I hope this will be swiftly resolved and your schedule can get back to some semblance of normalcy.

DR edi, everything in this world is Jose's fault!

Well, in an hour I hop into the car and head to JFK.  This is my first Jet Blue flight, but our DRs MBarnum and PennyO have relied upon it for trips.  I think I will sleep on the plane, and, when I get to my host's home, finish up the loose ends I have to do for Saturday's band rehearsal.  I'll next contact you all from LA.

Cheers, dear friends!

So many POSTS yesterday....learning about everyone's ALW feelings, television, Anne Heche, DR TPUNK's allergies, and DR GEORGE's water problem.

What will today be like, I wonder?

Break a leg tonight, DR GEORGE?  Is tonight opening night?

DR MBARNUM, I thought Diana and Laurie were joining you for THE BRAIN!!

I got the German westerns.  They are very enjoyable!  APACHES - except for the music score - was very good.  I think my favorite is THE GREAT SNAKE, but they are all fun!

We got NO SNOW...that is NO SNOW.  It is not as cold YET as they think it's going to get....but we get NO SNOW!!

Work today.  That is all.

Good morning!

It was rainy this morning when I got up, but WARM! It is 70 outside right now, and when I read about those poor folks suffering under the snow, ice, and cold, I find it amazing it is so balmy here. We've been breaking records almost every day with this weather.
