I'm sorry Vixmom is feeling so poorly, but it's great news that the tumor is shrinking.

The rest of us really got nothin to complain about, you know.

So true, except when I pee 

I'm going to attempt a walk now, right after I pick up my antibiotics.

TOD: Up to 1975, you say?

Peter Sellers
Marx Brothers
Carol  Burnett and her crew on her TV show (though, I think you specified movies so that entry may not count)
Jack Lemmon in his comedies -- and he and Walter Matthau were always funny together
Mel Brooks' movies  -- Young Frankenstein, The Producers
Madeline Kahn -- Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein
Monty Phython -- The Holy Grail (1975)
Babs in some of her comedies in the 60s like What's Up Doc? and The Owl and the Pussycat

I've now made all the calls and written all the e-mails.  And I've written a page and will do about four more later today.  I don't think I'm jogging today - too chilly out, but we'll see how I feel.

[JMK]

I wonder if it's still snowing in Portland, OR?

Where did you get that picture of my living room?

[JMK]

I am happy to announce I have just reached the Jurassic Level of my office environment.  So far virtually no dead bodies have been found.

I think I will watch the SUPERSTARS of DANCE tonight to see the American group dance....the soloist and the duet dancers were all pretty bad......

The whole idea of mixing the groups, solos and duets was not smart IMO.  I don't really find it that interesting to watch most of the solos.  And with so many styles it really is like comparing apples and oranges. Not sure if i will watch. I may just speed through it in a few minutes.

I was underwhelmed. After seeing Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance (I was so impressed this past season with that show -- the dancers and the choreography ...), this show sucked -- most of these entries came across as most amateur-ish -- and many leaned more heavily on the acrobatic than the musicality of the movements -- some even comical (like laugh out loud) such as the soloists from Africa and Russia.  SNARK! or a Mer-roww! (followed by a hiss).

Needless to say they lost this viewer ...

I had a momentary freak out this morning (shut up, Singdaw).     I was filing the title to our Isuzu Axiom, which we just paid off, and I suddenly wondered where the title was to the Subaru I inherited when my Mom died.  It wasn't in my main filing cabinet, so I went out and looked in the glove compartment--nope.  Then it dawned on me I had had a file folder about our cars circa 1996 at one point, so I went down and found the folder in the second file box I looked in, and sure 'nuff, there was the Subaru title.  I now have it in its own folder labelled "Subaru", and have moved it upstairs to the main filing cabinet.  Yes, I'm anal about organization.

I have officially begun the 2008 "tax bucket" (we keep our stuff in a big Tupperware thingamajig until I'm ready to go to our preparer.  This is what passes for excitement around these parts.

BK, I'm telling you, you need to rush right out and/or scour the internet for the two Girls from Bahia CDs (AKA Quarteto em Cy).  You haven't lived until you've heard them do Makin Whoopee and Oh, Susannah.    It's really interesting how distinctive these mid 60s Warner Bossa releases are from a sound standpoint--completely different from, say, the A&M/CTi stuff or even the Verve releases which were so popular back then.

[Laura]

Our first "tax bucket" items arrived today. Whoopee!

[Miss Karen]

oh, and The Little Rascals --- lots of funny stuff and characters ....

"Hope you are able to walk" vibes to DR Jane!

Who the hell is Margie Hart, anyway?

I think she wrote lyrics for Richard Rodgers before he hooked up with Oscar Hammerstein II.

Much like the partnership between George Gershwin and his lovely wife, Ira.

Margie apparently gave Gypsy a run for her money in the duds-doffing business.

Thank you, DR CP. 

You do learn something new every day at this here site!

Here, too!

I saw my accountant; whether the screw-up on the state's claim they did not receive my 2003 or 2004 return is mine or the firm helping me during my IRS crisis, I'm still liable for the fact that I owe a huge interest on what I owed, dammit! I will now spend some time looking through my 2005 and 2006 returns for the payment I made to NY State. I hope i can find their bill along with the cancelled check.  Oy!

***FINANCIAL VIBE$***

for DR elmore3003!!!!

That's strange -- I had logged in, been posting, and my name was showing on the list, but the message at the top was greeting me as "Hey Guest", so I just logged back in and now it's greeting me as "Hey Miss Karen" -- this new HHW format is most bizarre -- has a mind of its own ... spooky ...

[Miss Karen]

Well, whatever, now that I'm no longer a guest, I can log out. Adios!

[singdaw]

now that I'm no longer a guest

Be our guest,
Be our guest,
Put our patience
To the test...

[Laura]

Dang! I hope you find your canceled check and your forms, Elmore!

[singdaw]

Dang! I hope you find your...forms, Elmore!

[JMK]

this new HHW format is most bizarre -- has a mind of its own

Which is more than you can say for some of us posters.  (Shut up, Singdaw).   

[elmore3003]

Dang! I hope you find your...forms, Elmore!

From seeing some of our DRsingdaw's photos he posts, I believe all those forms belong to him . . . her? . . . him? The king's a queen, long live the dead!

[JMK]

Includes Base & Neck Block is the title of my next jazz oratorio.

Double Oy!  You will be able to get a copy of the check through your bank at least.

[Dan (the Man)]

Well, if you ask me, Margie Hart was not an artiste.

Hmmm.... Six weeks in Charleston, SC... Hmm...

From 2 or 3 years ago? I can probably locate it amongst my bank statementas if nothing else.

Brent Barrett just called me! How exciting.

I've just been answering e-mails and trying to organize things.  I just can't deal with the chilly weather to do the long jog.  I'm going to get something to eat, then try to do a few more pages, although I'm ahead of where I normally would be, so I'm not concerned if I only do one or two more, although I'd love to finish this chapter - maybe tomorrow that will happen.
