Perhaps DR JMK's production of The Producers should appropriate another show's tag line:

Now. And Forever.

I watched MILK on blue-ray today, first time seeing the film, and cried my eyes out.

I didn't think it was that bad.

Topic of the Day: I have a whole bunch of musical theater cast albums and related recordings. I'm not a true completist, but I do what I can.

Otherwise, the only thing that I really do collect (mainly because it's cheap to do so) is keychains. I have been collecting them since I was in seventh or eighth grade. And whenever people go on vacations, I usually get a keychain as a gift because they are so cheap. A few weeks ago, I even found my very first keychain that started it all, and have it hanging on a wall in my office with a whole bunch of my other keychains.

DR George - perhaps someday you'll be able to sell that extra copy on eBay and buy a vacation home with the proceeds.

From your lips...

Thank you DR DAW.

JMK, sorry I can't see the commercial.

You need to have Real Player installed and choose "run" when the dialogue box comes up.

We're not allowed to install anything on our computers here at work, and we don't have the Real Player installed. I'll have to watch it when I get home.

I know how confusing it is trying to communicate with multiple doctors, I'm glad they all showed up. It is a shame the family has been kept in the dark for so long.

Actually, only one physician was present, but he took sole "ownership" of the case, which will alleviate some of the confusion. Too many different specialists were telling them conflicting courses of action last week.

"Dave" is someone famous, that much I can tell you. It's just on the tip of my tongue, and it's driving me batty (a short, scenic drive--I'll just save you the post, DAW).

About 1:15 this afternoon, as I was getting ready for a rapid departure, we had a fire drill. I took my usual place at the top of the emergency stairwell. Since I am classified as handicapped (mentally), I don't have to exit the building; and in the case of a real fire I would be carried downstairs by a hunky fireman, in theory.

Well our second floor safety officer came out into the stairwell and said, "Tom, you can do whatever you feel comfortable doing, but this is not a drill."

I took the stairs.

Yikes, DR TCB! Is everything OK?

As we drove through Franklin, OH, early this morning we saw this

Fitzgerald Flower Shop

event in progress. It's the shop that did the flowers for John & Jayne's wedding 24 years ago. Hers was the most beautiful bridal bouquet I've ever seen (including my own).

Ironically, Mr. Haskell's memorial site does not list Listerine among his credits.

There was a fire in the elevator shaft, Ginny. I had just come back from putting my stuff in my car down in the garage, and just missed by one trip, being trapped in the elevator.

DR Laura how is Jane doing?

They will go in to be spayed/neutered when they weigh two pounds. They are at about 1.5 pounds now. So another couple of weeks.

Jane is doing well. She is not nearly as protective any more. Actually, she sometimes hides from them.

Whew! I thought Nurse Jane was having a breakdown!

I installed it months ago & don't know what happened to it. I'm hesitant to do it now as my computer has a habit of freezing.

I don't think so, TD, but very close--and it's certainly someone of that vintage, if you know what I mean. I keep thinking he was in either a cop show or a big cop movie in the 1970s.

JMK · « **Reply #176 on:** August 10, 2009, 06:01:55 PM »

By the way, I'd just like to let you all know you haven't really lived until you've seen and heard Cass, Buddy Hackett, Martin Landau and Barbara Bain perform "Meeskite." No, I'm not kidding and, yes, I wish I were.
