Do any of you DRs have a solution for those painful cracks that sometimes develop in your thumb, at the corners of the nail, for those of us living in the colder climes? Other than always wearing gloves, of course. Either how to prevent them, or how to treat them, once they've developed? Thanks!!

Ugh--I used to get them on all my fingers! I had to get a prescribed ointment. Plus, you need to keep your hands out of water--wear gloves when you wash dishes and take shorter showers. Make sure they are thoroughly dry after you wash them.

It's a tough ailment to treat, DR Singdaw.

DR FJL, you asked last night about Paige Davis taking over for Molly Ringwald.

Yes, I did hear about it. I have tickets for that show on tour. Molly Ringwald's name is above the title of the play. If I were a Molly Ringwald fan, I would be truly ticked off, as it would be false advertising.

But truthfully, I have no idea who either actress is.

DR Laura, Molly Ringwald was in all of those 80s movies--THE BREAKFAST CLUB, PRETTY IN PINK and SIXTEEN CANDLES.

I'm not sure who Paige Davis is, though her name rings a bell.

Ms. Davis' big claim to fame comes from her hosting Trading Spaces on The TLC/Discovery Channel. She no longer hosts the show.

She does have real musical theatre credits to her name. Here is her Web site for further perusal:

Paige Davis

And here is a site for Ms. Ringwald, no favoritist, I! There are others, this is just the first I found:

Good Morning!

Well, since I slept through my alarm this morning... Well, I heard it go off, then turned it off... Then... An hour later... So... Until lunch break (or possibly sooner)...

Laters...

FJL · « **Reply #37 on:** March 14, 2007, 07:15:24 AM »

I adored Paige Davis on Trading Spaces, even though I couldn't spell her name correctly last night.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #38 on:** March 14, 2007, 07:17:21 AM »

Have fun today, DR JOSE....and all others, of course. It's just that DR JOSE is the only spending the day with Eartha!

TOP DESIGN is new tonight, and it seems from the previews we get to see a Goil breakdown. The cause is not specified, but my guess is Michael - since he has driven all of the other designers crazy already!

I stopped watching when she left. There is only so much Hildy, Doug, and Frank a person can take.

My question for ASK BK day.

What is the first REAL and TRUE television script you ever read, what did you think of it? Did you take the part?

And what was the nicest standing set on a backlot you ever saw?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #41 on:** March 14, 2007, 07:18:58 AM »

NOW I really am off to work.

FJL · « **Reply #42 on:** March 14, 2007, 07:20:50 AM »

JRand - I don't think I ever figured it out: Did Paige Davis leave Trading Spaces voluntarily, or was there a ratings issue that made them force her out? Or something else?

FJL · « **Reply #43 on:** March 14, 2007, 07:22:07 AM »

I loved the Paige-cam.

Well, you know me. I haven't seen any of those movies. Nor do I have cable tv to watch the decorating show.

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #45 on:** March 14, 2007, 07:43:01 AM »

I see that she is married to Patrick Page. I am sure she is tired of any jokes we could come up with.

That's the decorating show where they would do stupid things, like stapling LPs to the wall, or glue feathers, or such?

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #47 on:** March 14, 2007, 07:44:10 AM »

Four posts in a row. That's unusual for me!

FJL · « **Reply #48 on:** March 14, 2007, 07:47:24 AM »

Laura - Yes, that's the show! But Paige Davis' presence always anchored it, I thought.

Wednesday morning greetings! Today I'm hosting a brownbag lunch with nonprofit folks to discuss The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. The staff person who's always helped me with the hospitality (we provide beverages and dessert) resigned last month, so I'm on my own today. Wonder if I've forgotten anything?

I remember watching an episode where someone made flowers out of plastic coffee can lids and stapled them all over a wall and thinking to myself, "If these people even came near my house, I would pull out my baseball bat and smash hands and fingers."

This afternoon I have a board meeting. So I have the morning free. What to do??

Well, I'm off! Perhaps I will have some photos to share later!

Has anyone ever seen the film Duet for One? It starred Julie Andrews and was semi-based on the life of cellist Jacqueline du Pre. It sounded interesting when discussed in Rupert Everett's recent memoir. Which is entertaining, in a name-dropping sort of way, but not terribly well written.

Ah, DR SINGDAW, the dry skin problem. If the problem isn't severe, I'd suggest using a body lotion at least once a day. My favorite el cheapo one is Trader Joe's Moisturizing Lotion with Aloe--$5, I think, and almost as good as many more expensive ones.

If you're at the cracking stage, then I'd suggest one of Sandra Cope's products (sandracope.com). This line was originally formulated for burn patients, then broadened into a line for virtually everyone. There are some very dramatic before-and-after photos on the website. Specifically, her Ultramoist is as moisturizing as you can get. You can also phone her salon with specific questions (phone number on the website). I started using these products last summer and this winter was the first winter since I moved to the East Coast that my skin hasn't been dry. And I've tried many, many products.

Good morning!

More of a cloud cover this morning than there has been for the last few days, but we're going to have another very warm day with highs in the low 80s. Wow! It's early March!
