LOL at your quote DR Laura

[bk]

Ahna looked okay.

[Laura]

If I had my camera, I'd have taken a photo of the tv screen, Cillaliz. It was hilarious.

[Cillaliz]

You mean it was in the graphics and not just an off hand comment?

[Cillaliz]

I think the threats against Johnny Weir (the US Figure Skater) because he wore fur are ridiculous.  Can someone explain how death threats against humans helps the cause of not killing animals?

I'm back from a rehearsal of cello-piano pieces by Victor Herbert and Jacques Offenbach with Jerry Grossman, principal cellist of the Metropolitan Opera. We ran through all of the Herbert pieces I've found aso far and about half the Offenbach before Jerry had to run back to the Met for tonight's performance of CARMEN.

The rehearsal was wonderful, and I suspect most of what we heard had not been played for nearly 100 years. I am quite excited about this project and hope it progresses well. Now I have to get some din and pack.

[JMK]

Oy, what a day of opera viewing and reviewing it's been.  I have made it through DAS RHEINGOLD, ORPHEE ET EURYDICE and GENOVEVA.  I think Larry's head would explode seeing at least two of these productions.

TCB the Lindbergh stuff was great!

Isn't that something?

It was at the bottom of the screen -- like a subtitle.

Apparently it does.  I did however laugh when Weir said he was afraid PETA would throw blood on him. 

To set the record straight, I have a great dislike for PETA & their attitude & methods.

I've been forgetting to read your quotes.  Thanks Cilla for pointing this one out.

George Chakiris is finally starting to look his age.  Rita Moreno doesn't really look too much like she used to but Russ Tamblyn looked good.

And I understand being against people wearing fur, but their methods are what I can't stand

Perhaps I am the only one who thinks that the threats against Johnny Weir seem a bit convenient.  Mr. Weir loves the spotlight, and perhaps his showing in Spokane made him scramble to put himself back on the front page.

I know and agree.  I can't stand PETA. 

I just read Weir is afraid to go out of the Olympic compound due to threats.  I don't think they throw blood at you unless you have the fur on.  I thought his comment was why he removed the fur from his costume.  Since he did remove it, he should be ok now.

I did consider he is using it for attention.

Johnny went out of his way to let the press know that the ugly dab of fur on his shoulder was "real fur."  Otherwise, I doubt anyone, including PETA would have noticed it.

[Jane]

I had a very active day.  I dusted, even using my right arm at times.  I used the dust cloth to slide my arm out as far as possible on the furniture.  I did well with my exercises.  I tied my shoe laces even if I had to have Keith re-tie them.  I didn't need as much help from Keith to change the sheets & I put the pillows in the cases on my own.

On the hike he said my pace was very good & he noticed I had more stamina, also at times my arm swung like a normal person's. 

We then came home & Keith gave Sherlock a shower, with assistance from me.  I couldn't use the towel to wipe him though.  I was able to clean up after.  I'm drying the last of the towels now. 

My evening exercises went better than the morning exercises.   The therapist has been giving me more & more to do.

Interesting considering complaints regarding the fur on his costumes have been lodged before.  This has nothing to do with the situation, however, overall I don't care for his costumes.

i don't really like the costumes either.  I'm sure he could be milking the situation to get the attention, but I still don't like the threats

Where do they get the blood from?

[Ginny]

Great news from DR Jane!

[Cillaliz]

LOL. Good question

[Jane]

Where do they get the blood from?

LOL-I have no idea.  I don't think I wanted to know

When PETA was still fairly young I donated to them, to my regret.  As I became aware of some of their outrages practices I called to discuss my feelings about some of them, including the fact they wanted to make all pure bred dog breeding illegal.  I discussed the need to focus on puppy mills & spay & neuter.  I wanted to donate to those specifically.  Basically they told me to shove off & hung up on me.  They then took me off their mailing list.

[Jane]

Thanks Cilla & Ginny.  I hope I don't crash tomorrow after my very good day.  I've slept better the last 3 nights, which could mean I'm due for a sleepless night.

They are very wrong, just like the antiabortionist who kill.  It doesn't make sense.

Sorry, just my opinion.

Last night, I watched MAKE WAY FOR TOMORROW, perhaps the most heart-breaking movie I've ever seen.

It's also one of the finest films to come out of Hollywood's Golden Era.

The really sad thing about it is that the story is just as relevant today as it was back in 1937 when the picture was made.  Indeed, it's probably even more so.

I'm looking forward to seeing it on Monday.

Have a box of Kleenex handy.

So I've heard. I LOVE this kind of film, so I'm looking forward to it even more.
