DR Ron Pulliam - "Physical or metaphysical?"  Do I really have to ask?


;D

I asked....all you needed to do was pick one.

Either way, none of your beeswax~

I have the Limited Edition El Cid, but unless you really want a replica of the comic book and the program and some poor copies of photos, I don't know that it's worth the extra money.  I got it very cheaply from a friend.

I am so very glad to know that El Cid means "The Cid."

DR elmore - You can buy "bed risers" for your frame.  A couple of different companies make them, and they come in various heights.  I'm sure the store down the street from you carries them.



Thanks, DR Jose! I'm a bit leery of having a huge wooden frame that's possibly still infested with bugs hanging around.  I think a nice metal ed frame could be a possibil;ity.

I got the impression from backstage gossip on CYMBELINE that Mr Cake likes to be appreciated for his physical attributes.  Perhaps he only does plays with semi-nudity?  He's the one on the left.

I'm outa here now.  Tomorrow!

And speaking of Marie Antoinette...

Which do you think is the more disastrous lyric from the stage version of Victor/Victoria:  "Paris Makes Me Horny," or "Louis Says"?     ;)

What really makes it hard for me is that these days I rarely find actors & actresses I truly enjoy. Adding to it is the fact that he was my age, &   that sort of thing makes you think about your own mortality in uncomfortable ways.

DR Elmore, I have this bed and love it. It's very study and we've owned it for 15 years.

It comes from:

Very interesting, DR Singdaw.  I got a little taste of that kind of work serving as librarian for the church choir.  Bet that orchestra librarian doesn't have to step over bottom-feeders to do her job  ::).

I find actually stepping on the bottom-feeders to be more expedient.   :o

Is there a comfortable way to think about one's mortality?   ;D

Unfortunately it does make one think of one's mortality. He died way too young.

Never in my entire life have I had my own "She of the Evil Eye".

Ask BK:  if this is unseemly, just ignore and move on, but I'm assuming you receive some kind of revenue from the Google ads at the top.  My question is, does the revenue increase based on the number of hits you receive?  Merely curious...
