Since it hasn't yet been mentioned (and as a fan of vintage Mad Magazine), I would recommend songs from "The Mad Show" as funny Broadway numbers.  There were some very good lyricists associated with it, including Mr. Sondheim, as in "The Boy From . . . .":

For the record, BK:

I have been gluten free for a couple of years, and since I have been, I feel much better than before.

 I have recently learned from a physician out here in the desert that wheat gluten does in fact cause changes in the collagen causing the skin to prematurely age.  So, there's that to think about.

Interesting.

We stopped at Best Buy because they finally got in one of these OLED TVs, this one made by LG, a company I know nothing about.

DA Bruce, I highly recommend LG products.  They often claim "LG" stands for "Life's Good" but in actuality it stands for "Lucky Goldstar" a South Korean company that was formerly just Goldstar.  I believe they have made the electronic "guts" for many other well-known and higher-priced brands aside from releasing products under their own logo.  I had LG DVD and CD players and TVs and washers and dryers, and all were very good, durable items.  Yes, LG doesn't have the cache of some other brands, but remember that the innards of those other brands may have been made by LG.

Interesting about LG.  I was very interested in getting the LG's when I purchased my new washer & dryer but they only came in the extra large and the door were more difficult to open than in the medium sized Brovo's I purchased, but the LG's sure were nice.

Hello, everyone.

I was in desperate need of both gas and groceries, so I did an errand run earlier. I don't know if the heavy rain that is forecast for the next few days will materialize, but I wanted to get it done while it's easy to get around town.

I have to be careful with gluten. I don't have full-blown celiac disease, but if I eat too much gluten my gut gets irritated. I know how to soothe it--both glutamine and DGL are excellent. I buy gluten-free bread and try to keep my gluten consumption to a minimum. I am thankful I can eat a certain amount without problems.

I haven't read the book WHEAT BELLY, but the doctor who wrote it claims that the newer, high-yield wheat is the culprit.

BTW, gluten isn't just in wheat. It's also in oats, barley, and rye. All favorites of mine. Sigh.

Don't forget almost all of "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" is quite funny.  From "My Fair Lady", "The Rain in Spain".
"The Company Way" from "How to Succeed . . .".

We had quite a bit of rain overnight here in West LA. It was forecast to start about 2 pm, but didn't begin until late last night. Today is beautiful, as it so often is after a rain.

I know the feeling.  But, there are companies that make "gluten-free" oats.  The oats themselves are actually gluten-free, but the manufacturing process "contaminates" them with gluten.  I have found gluten-free oats at Trader Joe's.  There are also Bob's products, Van's products and Nature's Path products that contain gluten-free oats.  One of my favorite company names is "Glutenfreeda", which has good food items and also Glutino.  When I began back in 2001/2002, there wasn't all that much out there.  I felt like the Mel Brooks 2,000 year-old man trying to find natural foods and having to settle for rocks, trees, etc.  Now, it's much better.  I also check to make sure the food is non-GMO.  You don't want to avoid wheat and then wind up eating genetically modified corn.

With a food allergy, I have often found the reverse of that to create desperation!  ;)

Hi All,  Sorry to be E and T.  I had a bunch of deadlines all at the same time, so the only thing I could do was work about 12-16 hour days ( a typical Vixmom day).  It's been exhausting, but I've basically met all my deadlines. I can easily finish up the rest of it tomorrow. My brain died about 3:00 so I went home.

Rob's job was the good news we received this week.  Here's the bad news, Richard's last uncle:

Judge George H. Palmer




I knew an offer was made, but you didn't tell us he accepted it!  I'm sorry to hear about Richard's uncle.
