I also liked (but didn't love) the musical remake of THE AWFUL TRUTH with Ray Milland and Jane Wyman and Aldo Ray....

Jane Wyman was a pretty good singer and dancer - especially in JUST FOR YOU and HERE COMES THE GROOM with Bing Crosby.

DR Ginny are you seriously looking or just looking to see what's out there (at houses, that is)

I'm wondering the same thing. You sort of left us dangling there

Sorry, DRs Cillaliz and Jane and anyone else who's wondering. Richard and I have been talking for a year or so about how nice it would be to have a one-story house with the laundry not in the basement. We've been going to open houses once in a while, just to get an idea of what we like and what we don't. Today, he was grossed out by the fact that, in the master suite, you had to go through the bathroom to get to the huge walk-in closet. Seemed pretty impractical to me. No wonder they haven't been able to sell that house since it was built on spec.

The day that Hurricane Ike hit (Sept. 13) we stopped at an open house on the way home from church and took a quick look at a house just after the power had gone off. It was as close to perfection for me as we'll come (except for the location, but you can't have everything). When we passed it today, with the sign still out front, I said that to Richard and he said, "I thought you didn't like it." Think we might make an appointment to go have another look, with the lights on and our lines of communication open.

What street's it on?

North Breiel Blvd., just north of Nelson Road. That's the big drawback - no street parking (except on the cross street) and having to back out of the driveway into three lanes of southbound traffic. Not heavy traffic, but traffic nonetheless.

OK...Pete Seeger...I'm officially crying now.

Isn't he great? I must say that Renee Fleming needs a new arranger; what did that person do to "You'll Never Walk Alone"?

He looked fantastic, much healthier even than when we filmed him 10 years ago. He wasn't dressed very warmly compared to the others, and he trotted off stage like a gazelle! I would love a DVD George, just for that! Man, that made my night!

To go from being blacklisted in the 50's to this moment---wow!

Okay, you're on the list. Anyone else want a DVD?

My Aunt Pauline had a beautiful 1962 Plymouth Fury 4-door hardtop in Powder Blue.

It had a push button transmission. She would just push the R Button.....lay on the horn.....and back out into traffic.....

No music at the party - it was at a local pizza joint - I had two tiny slices, not really enough to eat for a whole day, but then again, I also had cake at home. Margaret was very happy with the additional paragraphs - she laughed out loud, so that's good.

Speaking of Pete Seeger, an interesting thing my DH noticed while he was spending so much time at the hospital was that he kept hearing the song, Turn, Turn, Turn. He finally realized that they play it at the top of every hour, I guess so that the staff can keep track of their shifts. Must keep everyones' clocks synchronized!

I was always very glad I did not live in the south. I feared I would not be brave enough to speak up.

It wasn't just the south, they were just more blatant about discrimination.

In Philadelphia, noted as "The First Free City" the blacks just knew to keep their place. They could shop in the downtown department stores (if they used the rear employee entrances). They could not use the fitting rooms and clothing they bought was non-returnable. They had their neighborhoods, stores, theatres churches. If one black family moved into an area, the whole block went up for fire sale.

I'll still never forget when Judge Hastings (ex-Governor of the Virgin Islands) bought a lovely 18th Century mansion on a full square block piece of property in our area. His family decide to attend our church. The first Sunday they were there my cousin-in-law saw them approach the rail for communion and stormed out of the church yelling "No cup that has touched black lips will ever touch mine." I'm sure Jesus was pleased.
