Oh, yay. No more Cinemascope. My laptop screen isn't wide enough to handle it.

Hello, everyone.

I have no idea how to get us out of Cinemascope.

Well I'll be damned.

DAMNED, I tell you.

Page 2 was the first time I, DR ChasSmith, have experienced this Cinemascope I've been hearing about for so long. Now I know what it is! The text blocks extend past the width of the laptop screen, and the text doesn't word wrap. ISN'T THAT WEIRD???

And this happens on the same day I first experience the site slowness. COINCIDENCE???

ChasSmith · « **Reply #64 on:** April 14, 2013, 02:39:42 PM »

And looking back, I think I see who we can blame. Oh yes, there must always be someone to blame in these matters.

It's DR vixmom!

Copying/pasting long URLs does it. Maybe it wouldn't, if you manually broke the lines up? That is so weird!!

I feel like I've been through a li'l Rite of Passage.

From DR Vixmom:

While she was away form the table exploring the club I arrange for the waitress to surprise her after lunch with this

Oh my! The stunned expression was great

DR TCB did you find The Beav's friends to be of better quality than Wally's?

Jane · « **Reply #67 on:** April 14, 2013, 02:42:54 PM »

DR Jennifer I am far from the only one at my pool who swims as therapy for their shoulder. You might need to slow down and do more of the breast stroke. I suggest you consider this. Look up suggestions for pool exercises for your shoulder.

Good morning, all! I had too many weird dreams, populated with folk of whom I am not too fond,

I hate when that happens.

Correction, I had to readjust the size of my pages back to normal after making them smaller for everything to fit.

I watched the 2007 BBC adaptation of NORTHANGER ABBEY this afternoon, and it's far superior to the 1980s version. Catherine Morland is still one of the biggest idiots of fiction, but, for the first time, in either print or the earlier tv adaptation, I felt the link between her epiphany and that of Emma's after the Box Hill excursion in Miss Austen's later and superior novel, EMMA. The General Tilney was far more repellent and sinister, and Captain Tilney far handsomer than their 1980s counterparts. I had never really caught the Captain Tilney-Willoughby-Wickham connection before, either.

It was a great deal of fun, gothic fantasy sequences and all. Now I want to watch Emma Thompson's adaptation of SENSE & SENSIBILITY again.

I was hoping Heaven Can Wait would be on netflix streaming, but no such luck.

Jeanne - A dear friend who lives in L.A. Harriet Schock write the song "Ain't No Way To treat A Lady" that was a hit for Helen Reddy, so Helen performed that and Harriet's other song "Momma" at her concert in L.A. a few weeks ago - and Helen introduced Harriet in the audience of course when she sang the songs.

BK and I had dinner with Harriet (and another friend Joe Kolinski) last year when i was in L.A. It was all last-minute and I'd tried to reach you but you had other friends in town. next time I'm in L.A. I hope to do it on more notice.

I also saw Petula Clark in Blood Brothers.

Check amazon streaming - they seem to have a lot of Paramount films.

FJL · « **Reply #78 on:** April 14, 2013, 03:52:32 PM »

Since I try to parody everyone, and parodies annoy some people who lurk here:

Petula Clark parody (of Don't Sleep in the Subway)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WQiQ9FhEBI

Helen Reddy parody (of You and Me Against the World)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75daFChjAMw

Interestingly, I'd started becoming friendly with harriet Schock when I'd done a YouTube parody of her song "Ain't No Way to Treat a lady" and sent her the link and she actually called back totally fine with being parodied and even praised the accompaniment Skip had done for it. And we became friends after that.

bk · « **Reply #79 on:** April 14, 2013, 03:53:45 PM »

For anyone interested in streaming Heaven Can Wait - if you're a Prime member on amazon it's free - otherwise 2.99.

The real Helen Reddy with The Last Blues Song

FJL · « **Reply #81 on:** April 14, 2013, 04:00:54 PM »

So "The Last Blues Song" must have charted back in the 1970's, since the related videos on YouTube had a version (which I know I'd seen before) with Julie Andrews and Sandy Duncan

Chas, I think that moving to the next page is what got us out of it, although I'd forgotten that that is a fix for it.

Fred, I recall your visit and was sorry I was booked. Harriet Schock is mentioned on Helen Reddy's website and I knew you knew her. Didn't she also sing one of your parodies?

She doesn;t sing a parody - but in addition to the parody of the Helen reddy song,
I also parody her HOLLYWOOD TOWN song into my HOLLYWOOD GOWN series.

You can't break up the lines of the URL. If you do, it won't connect to the Web site.

Sunday evening greetings! Rob and Mary Linda and I left Lima at 7:30 this morning and they dropped me off here at home about 6pm. Rachel's baptism was very sweet and the church provided a lovely potluck luncheon. Afterwards we all went to Rachel's family's home for lots of visiting. I'm very tired...

Scary story from DR Mike - so glad you're OK!
