I want to dish the dirt. . .but, alas, I have no dirt to dish. . . .

My dirt is under my fingernails after the yardwork today.

My brother's fiancee has asked me to be a bridesmaid - I am honored of course but I feel a bit like it is dressing mutton as lamb

I am over 50 and a good 10 years older than the bride.

Am I being silly?

Ladies I appeal to you - the other bridesmaids would be her younger sister and some of her friends who I presume to be her age.

They would have Vixdad as well which is fine , men can wear tuxes and look wonderful whatever their age.

The wedding is set for October 10.

They also want the Vixter to sing which would be very nice.

Can Sadie's be bridesmaids?

I just had to sweep and salt the driveways! I am not a happy camper. And the snow continues to fall.

Wedding attendants are traditionally women the same age as the bride; they are her peers and sisters, women who know her well and can share her joy on her wedding day. They are also traditionally women who would understand the fears associated with leaving home and having sex for the first time, although in this day and age most brides have done both before the wedding day. In any case, they are the girls she spends her evenings and weekends with, the ones she will call in a crisis or share good news with.

But what if you have an older sister you are close to? Say you are in your 20s and she is in her 40s -- is it okay to ask her to be a bridesmaid?

The key is the asking -- if you want her standing up with you, then ask. If she demurs, find some other way for her to participate in your wedding, perhaps by reading or singing or lighting candles. If she agrees, have her help choose the bridesmaids' dresses, and keep in mind that she may not want to wear what your 20-something friends are wearing. Give her the option of something age-appropriate but similar, in color and fabric, to what the other girls are wearing.

Nothing says fashion like the good old sweetheart neckline - modified for modesty.

Color is key to drawing the eye to the wearer.

Other websites suggest that if the honoree is not comfortable accepting a role as a bridesmaid, she might give a personal reading.

DR VIXMOM, I suggest you get together a slide show or power point presentation - it's sure to make the wedding even MORE memorable!

DR VIXMOM - to put my two cents worth in seriously - you might consider the request. I do NOT think you would EVER regret being a member of the wedding party that day. He is your brother - she will be your sister - I understand your hesitation. And certainly your apparel should reflect any age difference between you and the other bridesmaid/matrons. Other than that - what FUN!!!

I think I will watch Goldfinger and then On Her Majesty's Secret Service......I need to see some James Bond.

It's the 6 am bus and real quiet. All of a sudden, an old bubbeh yells out "Oy am I thirsty!" "Oy am I thirsty!" "Oy am I thirsty!" And she goes on and on and on at the top of her lungs.

The sleepy passengers beg the bus driver to stop at the next corner and get the kvetch a drink already!

So he does. "Here lady! Drink up! And shut up!"

She drinks the drink. The bus moves on. The passengers nod off again or peek into their newspapers, happy the old bubbeh is quiet. All of a sudden they hear....

"Oy was I thirsty!"

I just got a ticket for Blithe Spirit. I'm not crazy about seeing the very first performance but at least it's a ticket. If I like it and it's on TDF again I'll go a second time or I could just buy a last row balcony seat (which is the same price as this TDF ticket).

Now if only Guys and Dolls and West Side Story would get on to TDF. Guys and Dolls has been is on TKTS every time that I've been in Midtown and checked the board.

I've ordered TDF tickets for BLITHE SPIRIT but i have no idea when the date is!

I'm going next Thursday, February 26th at 8pm. I assume I will be in the balcony.

Thursday, February 26th is also opening night for a show in Fort Atkinson, WI called The Fantasticks, starring Anthony Morelli

The temperature is really dropping here, too. Not getting out of the 40s tomorrow and I believe it's to be in the 20s tomorrow morning.

WHOA! ~~~~~VIBES TO DR DAW~~~~~

Read on:

Hi, guys -

Just a quick note before I head off to bed. In between work and while doing errands before heading over to Thursday night choir practice, I was involved in a very serious auto accident. I think I am OK. My car, however, is not. I was sitting stopped in a line of traffic, waiting for a light to change, when I was suddenly rammed, quite hard, from the rear. My airbag did not deploy, but the back end of my car was so crushed that one of the rear wheels could not turn. Fortunately, the other driver appeared not to be harmed either, although the police told me that they don't think he has any insurance.

This all happened more than 30 miles away from my home. So it has been a long evening. I know that it could have been much worse, and I feel very fortunate. THINGS can be repaired and/or replaced. Although the coming weeks shall certainly be a hassle.

In any case, please feel free to share with HHW, if you wish. I am going to bed.

Cheers-
-D

And, as you can see, I did feel free to share his news here.
