Last year,  I wanted to donate some boxes od Girl Scout cookies to the service men and women in Iraq.  They had said on TV that it was very easy to do.  Well, the scout troop by me was not very thrilled about doing it. I had to insist.

At my work, two co-workers brought in their kids' order forms for Girl Scout cookies.  They both also had the option to buy cookies for overseas service men and women.

Of course, now that I'm back home and resting, my sinuses have started to revolt again. Ah, well...

Feel even better tomorrow vibes!!!

Thank You, Jane.

And speaking of tomorrow...

I'll be attending a session of the Westminster Dog Show. My friend Andy's sister is showing their Rhodesian Ridgeback, "Fizz"*. I caught up with her today for a little bit at the Hotel Pennsylvania were most of the dogs and their owners are staying - it's right across the street from Madison Square Garden.  Now, I'm not a "dog person", but there were some truly beautiful dogs in that lobby.

*Fizz is short for "Whirlaway's Fitz-o-Glory". I can't wait to hear that name announced tomorrow at MSG. ;)

DR the vixter - As for Love Never Dies, well... I have listened to it once, and, frankly, once was enough for me.  It's not bad, it's just a bit bland to me.  -Although I think the orchestrations make the music seem better than it actually is - at least in my opinion.

I believe DR Matthew needs to chime in here.
Ok. He knows alot about the show then?

Well, DR Matthew is the resident HHW ALW Expert/Fanboy. ;)


He didn't like PHANTOM in Vegas.

Maybe there is something in your apartment that is triggering your sinus reaction.

Well... I think my six hour allergy cold medication which I took seven hours just finally wore off/down/whatever. ;)

You know I almost never watch award shows.  I just happened to have the TV on in the background and the Grammys came on.  What a waste!

I don't know who half the people are and the ones that are attempting to sing or make some type of music are horrible.  I never saw "Lady" Gaga before and I hope I never do again.  Were those really her shoulders?  She looks like a Madonna wantabe.

As for pancakes...

Yes to butter!

Yes to maple syrup!

Yes to maple syrup and butter gently heated together and then poured over a stack of pancakes.

I always buy a box or two from people at work who are selling for their kids.  I had to sell X number of candy bars in order to able to go to Disney on Seniors night.  My folks didn't want me going door to door so they just bought the candy.

I also think it's my body's way of telling me to get to bed early tonight. Rest is good. Sleep is good.

Your welcome.  I was under the weather for about 2 weeks so I know how you feel.  Your right about sleep.  I think that helped more then anything I took.

I don't even care for pure maple syrup on mine.  I do like the original Du Par's Boysenberry which I rarely have.  I have some tayberry syrup in the house.

I had to sell really ugly candles.  It was a nightmare going door to door. My parents bought one or two, but I had to go out myself to sell.   My niece used to just get on the phone and say "Hi, How many ______ would you like to buy?

Hi, DR The Vixter - hope you feel better soon!

Me too!! I need to know how I did on my last math test SO badly. >_< Oh, by the way, my Mom asked last night, I think, but just wondering, has anyone listened to "Love Never Dies"? I'd like your opinions on it, siince you guys are really the people to come to about theater productions and such. :)


I believe that the presentation tends to drain the grasp of the thesbian.




TRANSLATION:  The show sucks!  (Personal opinion only)

*Laughs* Awsome way of putting it. But I'd like to know why you feel that way, if you don't mind? :)


First of al, I should say that I am not a huge fan of Sir Andrew,  I think that VELVITA is one of the worst Broadway shows that I ever sat through.  Actually, I have only listened to ithe show's music a  couple of times, but I  have heard several songs on the radio and and on You Tube.  Basically, I don't think the score is very strong.  TILL I HEAR YOU SING is a nice number, but I can't say that I really "like" very much else in the score.  And the storyline is pretty poor.  I mean, hasn't poor Coney Island already suffered enough?

You should probably ask someone more "in the know;" for example, Jose.

No, I appreciate your review just as much as Joses. :) I'm just trying to see what people who are over the age of seventeen think of it. >_<" High school can be limiting.


When I was your age, I thoght that JESUS CHRIST SUERSTAR was pure genius.


And now? I suposse you don't like it as much.


No, I probably don't like is as much now, as I did then; because I am able to see its flaws more easily now.  Still, I think that any medium that can bring more people to the teachings of Christ is a postive thing.

Very true. I gotta try to find some more christian musicals to use for church related things. There's only so far you can go with Godspell.

Vixter, do they have to be specifically Christian, or can they just be inspirational-type shows?  One show that I absolutely love is The Spitfire Grill.  It's based on a movie, which in turn is based on a book.  I haven't seen or read either, but from what I understand, the movie doesn't have a happy ending.  The musical does.  I highly recommend looking into that one.

My least favorite thing I ever had to sell when I was in elementary school: Greeting and Christmas Cards. -Even at the age of 10, I knew that most of the designs in the catalog were ugly. ;)
