I still don't have any interest in reading or seeing it.

I admit I have never read a Stephen King novel.  Keith has one on his iPad I might eventually read.

The only Stephen King movies I've seen are GREEN MILE, STAND BY ME, and MISERY.  I liked these very much.
There were a couple of made for tv movies I could have done without.

An explanation of why I've not been posting, and it's because I find it hard to not post about personal matters when this has been suhc an experience, but I hope overall it can turn into a positive understanding of what people can be that i can use in my writing as well, a better understanding of the pettiness of people and how they can opt to turn someone who up to a certain point had only a positive profile into a villain if they so choose: 

One of the people (a certain Mr. Frank) who I'm fairly sure is a "guest" reading this site has been trying to get one of my professional licenses taken away, and I've been confused about some of the claims he's been making about things he says I've claimed about him -as they seem not to have anything to do with anything relating to him in particular, but are things I've actually said about other people from that old "Stalkin Broadway" where Jonathan had many friends.  But I'm told by the professional organiziation that i MUST take any such allegation seriously just because somebody in the public chooses to send it - if I ignore it, whatever the reason, it will be automatically found against me - but he does seem to be taking anything I've alleged against anyone on that "Staklin" site and making believe I alleged it against him personally. 

Oh my goodness.  This is definitely is a very serious concern.  You are in my thought and prayers.



VIBES that all goes well for you

Well, if you could do Misery, you can definitely do The Shining, which is not nearly as intense and a lot more fun.

No DR VIXMOM Miss Jackie Joseph-Lawrence wasn't in ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN.....but she was Audrey in the original LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS Roger Corman film....and spent a couple of years on the Doris Day Show.

Jackie and Ken were divorced in 1976 - and she was one of the founders of the LADIES CLUB - about Show Business wives who get dumped after many years of marriage.  She remarried in 2003 - I don't think Ken has remarried.....but I am not sure how friendly they are with each other.

thanks for the explanation ,  but I was not that one that asked that question--- :)

This was fun!  On Friday, Holland Taylor responded to my song lyric about her Broadway show ANN in the New York Times comments box.  (The comments are below the article.  You have to scroll down to below the article.)

I don't think I'm going to try to get tickets to any other shows this trip.  I may check out a museum or some place I haven't been before. 

The musical "Once" is truly stunning!

Now that I do want to see.  Do you think I could get a ticket the day of the show?  I don't want to get one ahead of time in case my Thursday flight is cancelled

Just checked the living room - none for now - do they not come out if it's dark?

They're usually in the walls eating wood and dry wall

Just leaf-blew the entire driveway.

Amazing.  This is the kind of winter I can live with.  What's this, the fourth storm in a row I've been able to clear with the blower?  S'wonderful.

I know what you mean!  We woke up late this morning and the Vixter was assisting minister and I was  running coffee hour and the lay reader   - 

when I looked out and saw snow my  heart sank

  What  a joy to discover that 2 minutes a with a  broom took care of clearing steps and path and car!

I had to pause my video viewing to look up THE SHINING.  Reading about it still didn't explain what the boy was doing which I suspect should have made me laugh.  I enjoyed the music.

redrum redrum redrum.....

Haen't you seen the movie or ready the book?  I'm surprised.  Very good.

A self-catering cottage just means it's an apartment with a kitchen. It's more a European term

Self-Catering

 I was hoping you automatically had trays of canapes waiting for you.  And little sandwiches cut into triangles.

Not to mention endless bottles of chilled Dom Perignon.

Speaking of tallying, and elmore was,

Here's my YouTube "Talley's Folly" parody-salute with tribute to Danny Burstein's roles going from married to Sally to courting Sally and from FOLLIES to FOLLY - i love all the wordplay involved! - there had to be  a mash-up, didn't there?

SALLY TALLEY'S FOLLIES with a "Story of Sally and Sally"

(with the fun coincidence of Danny Burstein's roles going from married to Sally in FOLLIES to courting Sally in ...FOLLY)

I quite enjoyed this FJL!  As usual, very clever!  :)

We had signs of them in a shower once, at least according the buyers home inspector.

Just got to the point in Rosalie where Nelson Eddy sings "In the Still of the Night" to Eleanor Powell. Director "One-Take Woody" Van Dyke did something visually interesting in that about half of the song is staged with the back of Eddy's and Powell's heads to the camera. Little movement and no false emotions, just the power of the song.

I had both of my houses in Sioux City treated for termites.  I've never seen them active but have had evidence of past activity and had the house treated just to be on the safe side.

Good morning, all!

Yesterday the new biography of Benjamin Britten by Paul Kildea arrived from England and I stayed up late reading it.




Is that the guy who flew the kite with the key attached?

Speaking of the Mystery of Edwin Drood.....I will be attending on Friday Feb 22.   It's going to be a short trip.  I should arrive around noon on Thursday and will leave Sat am.  I say should arrive because I'm flying from Sioux City and that flight to Chicage gets cancelled fairly often.

It is quite wonderful, I am sure you will love it .  I hope you have an opportunity to meet with Rupert  on your short trip to town

I wish you were staying a little longer so I could meet you  and take you to dinner

Right now, I'm watching "Cash Cab."  I love this show...and have absolutely no interest in either the Superbowl OR the commercials shown during said Superbowl.

;)

I loved this show -  my dream was to  be picked up by Cash Cab while accompanied  by DRs Jose, Elmore, Ben  and WFO - I would just sit back and count the cash while they answered all the questions  :)

Not sure if he'll have time this trip.  He's working on several projects at the moment and didn't know if he'd be available, so I may or may not see him.   I have never seen the Mystery of Edwin Drood, so that's why I'm making the trip. I'm still not totally comfortable with leaving the cats....the last sitter will care for the house and Ricky and Boo...Callie will be boarded.  If it works out ok, I'll probably take a longer trip in the future

I wish I was going to be there longer too.  I'll likely make another trip this year.  I'd love to have dinner then.
