Favorite Fox musical without question:

MOTHER WORE TIGHTS.

I can't believe Fox has not released this yet. One of the biggest hits in Betty Grable's career and filled with wonderful music and dance. I still can't believe "You Do" lost Best Song to "Zip-a-dee-Do-Dah!"

I am still reeling in astonishment that bk had ANYTHING negative to say about the beloved Dr. Drew Casper who, I thought, had become the unofficial mascot of HHW.

Please reconsider!

DR Vixmom,

I have never watched BIG LOVE. The subject matter just never interested me.

I watched the first few episodes of season 1. It is well written and well acted. But the subject sort of creeped me out.

Yes, the "Rose of Washington Square" number is THE highlight of the film, but that dance couple inserted into the center of it, remarkable as they are, make a really strange combination with what Alice and company were doing before and after their dance.

DR Jennifer - If you want sauce, then make a sauce.  If you just want "macaroni and cheese", then just mix up some macaroni and cheese.  -That "Option #3" seems to be a particularly Southern variation, and I know some people who prefer that.  However, it sounds like your niece wants "saucy", so give her "saucy".

I didn't even know just placing the cheese on top was an option! I'm guessing it would be more like a lasagna in the way the cheese bakes on top.

DR VIXMOM do NOT buy the Power Juicer....it is louder than a power saw and your first dishwasher put together.

Notice how they have to yell when they are using it.....and it's noise has been toned down for the infomercial.

You will get your juicer AND hearing aid coupons when you order it.

Resist.  Resist.  Resist.

but they say it is whisper quiet!!!!  They lied to me?!  :o

Unless something comes in the mail today, I have a day off. There is nothing left in the review pile, and I'm free to watch what I please. I recorded a movie off Showtime-HD with Charles Busch that I've never seen, and I may pull another Carmen Miranda or Alice Faye movie out of their respective boxes. And, of course, there's NCIS off DVD to watch while I eat lunch and today's AS THE WORLD TURNS which features the boys and Brian (who gets outed today).

Isn't there a funny line about a humidifier from Neil Simon's Last of the red Hot Lovers?  Something along the lines of these lines:

He:  Maybe you should sleep with a humidifier

She:  Don't worry, I'll get around to everybody!

The only thing that saved me last night was that my wallet was in a room with a  sleeping Vixdad

I don't know what will save me today

Tell yourself that whatever it is, you'll have to use it no matter how crummy you feel when it arrives.  If that leaves a foul taste, then don't buy it.

You've undoubtedly heard the stories about juicing parsley?

Parsley juice, in quantity, can give you quite the "high", apparently....and then gives you the worst case of diarrhea imaginable.

The subject matter didn't attract me either - I watched it out of lazieness to change the channel and then it just kinda pulled me in - I would be interested on your take on it if you get a  moment to check out an episode

Tuesday morning greetings!  It's icy here in SW Ohio today and I've chickened out of driving to Dayton for the 2 meetings I was supposed to attend this afternoon.  Not having to drive 25+ miles in nasty weather was one of my main reasons for retiring.

How did you like the rest of CRANFORD?

Very much!  Richard wanted me to tell you thanks for recommending it.  We even enjoyed the "making of" feature.  When we went to Middletown Public Library yesterday, there was a copy on the recently-returned shelf - I'd probably still be waiting for it from Dayton Metro if Richard hadn't ordered it from Netflix while you were visiting us.  Any other recommendations?

Vixdad bought me the Elizabeth Gaskell collection for Christmas - Cranford, North & South and Wives & Daughters.  I haven't watched any yet - but perhaps since you enjoyed Cranford you might enjoy the other two?

DR Vixmom, another con for the juicer is that while, yes, you get a lot of the vitamins in that glass of juice, you also get lots and lots of sugar.  AND you lose out on the pulp.  Now while with your current condition the pulpless juice might sound attractive, later on when you are able to enjoy whole foods again those glasses of pulp-free sugary fruit juice won't be as good for you.

But for a treat right now, tell Vixdad to pick you up a bottle of Pom juice from the market.  It's full of anti-oxidents, which is good for, um, flushing out any oxidents in your system.
