Well, you've read the notes, the notes wore a coonskin cap, and now it is time for you to post until the coonskin cows come home.

And the word of the day is: TRICHOTILLOMANIA!

Smoke on your pipe and put that in.

Going to listen to all the songs (That I know about) that have been written for the musical HAIR (Over 50) with the exception of one song that I have on an LP

Michael · « **Reply #3 on:** March 12, 2010, 03:48:12 AM »

And I did not choose to listen to the songs from HAIR to go with the word of the day. I only just now discovered what the word of the day means.

Funny song, DR FJL.

My brother Michael and I both HAD coonskin caps, but not for long. We bought them the week after seeing Davy Crockett on Disneyland....we had t shirts too!

We wore them for a photo with my sister Paula - my Mom wouldn't let us wear our caps for the photo.

Good morning!

Thanks for all the vibes of yesterday. I didn't have internet at Greg's mom's but was able to take a lot of editing work with me. I hadn't ever taken care of her on my own; Greg's day always does that, but boy, now I even have more respect for him being able to do that at 85!

But I felt very lucky that I was able to remember all the different doses of things and when they're administered, handling bathroom journeys and maneuvering her into her chair or bed. Took a few attempts to get things right but she was a good sport about it. And she ate all my cooking!

I think we're going to need to reinstate some in-home care because they live about an hour away from everyone. And I think their house really needs to be made more "old-friendly" and widen some doorways and add some handles here and there.

Today my DF-I-L is having a procedure where they're going to zap the heart with electricity; maybe that's like rebooting your computer. Continued vibes much appreciated.

JRand, love the clip you posted. Kind of a cross between "Guten Tag Hop Clop" and "The Fish Slapping Dance"!

Wrong photo.

Surgery vibes for the friend of JohnG! I hope it helps his condition!

Thanks DR EDISAURUS. That's from Im Weissen Rossl - The White Horse Inn.....introduced to me by DR ELMORE. It is obviously a beloved musical because if you watch the live clips on YOU TUBE from the productions everyone in the audience is singing along and having a great time! The songs are catchy and it IS funny.

The slapping clip is from the 1952 movie, which I may try to find.....but I am still going to wear my hat on the side of my head someday. It is very classy.

I agree with DR Pogue about CEO salaries. The most disgusting thing I've seen in this regard is one of our own Atlanta companies, Home Depot, who dumped their CEO, Robert Nardelli, after he ran the company into the ground and walked away with a $210 million severance deal. This, on top of his $120 million he "earned" for the 6 years he was there. Is it any wonder the employees have an attitude problem and it's rare to find a knowledable employee to help you find something in the store? The greed of these CEOs is disgusting.

Thanks DR LAURA. This is the one I meant.....I guess we crowded my sister out.

A man used to come to the door once or twice a year with all of his equipment and ask if we wanted pictures, and my mom usually said yes....we had five minutes to get spiffed up while he set up his camera, lights, and background. It was fun!

Wonder if DR Elmore could convince his neighbor to buy a thick rug to muffle the footsteps, dog toenails and some of the unseemly activity above?

I WISH I had that much hair left - I was a platinum blonde from birth to age nine.

I generally like Michael Moore's films. Sometimes he goes a little too far for my tastes (the scene with Charlton Heston in BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE comes to mind) but I generally agree with his viewpoint and I think his films are well-crafted.

However, it bugs me when people who know I make documentaries want to lump him in with all documentarians and then deride all doc makers in general based on what MM does. I don't consider his films documentaries as much as editorials. What you get when you see one of his films is his opinion on a certain subject. Most good documentaries do have a point of view, but a more objective one.

I didn't see SICKO, and I may not see his new film immediately but maybe at some point. I know I'll generally get depressed or angry, so I have to wait to be "in the mood".

I did love his TV show; they pulled some brilliant stunts, even in my home town of Marietta!

And I met him at Sundance when we won an award there. He was very nice. This was in '91 when cell phones were starting to get popular. We were standing outside the theatre and he was watching two guys comparing phones and said "I bet that's the only time you hear two guys brag about how small theirs is." LOL!

Regarding the current Newman dynasty:

Randy Newman=Ragtime, The Natural, Awakenings
Thomas Newman=American Beauty, Shawshank Redemption, Little Women
David Newman=Operation Dumbo Drop, Norbit, Scooby Doo

They have all found their niche!

I know Randy's hard at work on Toy Story 3, but I hope he will be given the opportunity to turn out more great scores like AVALON, too.

Friday morning greetings! We going to the lab for my blood test and then out for breakfast. This isn't a fasting test, but we like to go out for breakfast anyway.

Media check:

CD - audiobook - Adriana Trigiani's Very Valentine read by Cassandra Campbell. Since I don't spend much time alone in my car anymore and this is NOT something Richard would like, I'll have to listen with headphones here at home while doing needlework. In his car, we're listening to Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms and we're quite surprised at the sappy romantic dialogue.

DVD - Barbie Nation: An Authorized Tour. This was recommended last month by the speaker I heard on young adult literature. We're going to preview it and then I'm going to invite my girlfriends over for a Barbie party.

Taking care of old people can have that effect, DR Edi! Glad to hear you survived yesterday and hope your DFiL's procedure goes well today.

DVD: PRECIOUS based on the novel SAPPHIRE by Push (Well, I bought it anyway--let's see if I actually watch it...)
