HOORAY FOR TCB!  HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS TO YOU!  YIPPEE-KI-YO-YAY!

Thank you, Dan.  It is so nice to see you back here posting.  We have all been worried.

[Dan M]

Dear Singdaw-

It must be a banner day!  I have finally a monitor to open my "window" out onto HHW-land, today is TCB's Happy Birthday, and, what a great surprise, I have received your CDs!  I am so happy to find such a nice present in today's mail!  Your card and your note-- and well, everything --gave (and will continue to give) me joy and cheer.

For awhile I had been telling myself that I really didn't belong here with everyone.  Then I realized that we are all here because of the most basic reason, love of music.  In my own way, I try to celebrate music, and am looking to brush-up on what I was taught and perhaps learn music theory. 

There is after all, some Tony Mottola music genes floating around inside me!

Thanks so much!

Won't post it in the notes yet, but the show is a classic - one that involves gamblers and unmarried showgirls and the Salvation Army.  I thought it would be very cute with young people - like Bugsy Malone.

I am here to announce that while at Costco yesterday, I saw a "deal" on a package of two pillows of the memory foam variety for ten bucks, and I bought them.  My head and neck LOVED them, and while it may be purely coincidental, even my back felt better this morning.  So, we'll see.  We shall see.

Congrats on finding a pillow that you love, ChasSmith!  Years ago, my sister bought a memory foam pillow and didn't like it.  I tried it and didn't like it either because when I lay my head on it, the pillow completely flattened!  There was absolutely NO support...it was just like lying on a bed with no pillow.  She then bought another kind of foam pillow, much firmer and not "memory" foam, and it was too firm for her.  I tried it and I loved it!  I've have it for years and the support for me is perfect.  I really should get a new one because it's so old, but the problem is that my sister doesn't remember where she got it, and I really haven't been able to find anything else like it on-line, so I don't know if I'll be able to get another one even remotely like it.

I suppose I could try the Costco memory foam pillow.  A lot has changed over the years and maybe these now have enough support for my head.  $10 is certainly not expensive at all.

And here I thought I was personally particularly picky about pillows! When it comes to pillows I'm like the Princess and the Pea. MUST provide good cervical support. When my oh-so-comfortable eggcrate pillow fell apart I shopped for another. The first one wasn't quite right, although it looked like it would be, but now I have one I like. I haven't tried the new gel variety, but understand that they are supposed to keep your head cool at night.

George, memory foam packs down rather quickly, in my experience. There are lots of types of memory foam, though, and I'm sure some are better quality than others. The pillow I'm using currently is foam, but not memory foam, and it's holding up very well indeed. I think I bought it at Kohl's for $25 or $30. The Sleep Number stores have an interesting assortment of quality pillows--not Costco prices, but nice pillows.

Happy slumber!

I'm back!  My friends got me a new computer monitor.  It's not "new" but it's new to me and is working A-OK!  That's the main reason I have been out of commission this go-round.

Welcome back! It's always good to know you haven't vanished into the gloaming like Brigadoon.

Oh, yes, a fun show indeed.

I started thankiing myself for thanking myself!

Thank you to the friends of DR Dan for helping him return to us

Happy Birthday to our very funny TCB ! 

Why thank you, DR KevinH!  I had hoped to hear from Babs and James today, but no such luck.

We did hear from Aretha, who interrupted a performance of "R E S P E C T" to say  Take care, T C B

She never forgets me!

Really! I knew about DR Kevin's close personal friendship with Barbra, but didn't know that Fred had a direct line to Aretha. And now you, too, TCB!  My, my!

[Jane]

Thanks to DR Kerry and to DR Jeanne.

I'm feeling better, maybe it's the 5 HTP?

Humm..5-HTP. I've taken it to help me sleep, but I don't usually have problems with depression, so never tried it for that. In any case, I'm very glad that you're being helped.

I had to look up 5-HTP.  Dan if that is the reason you feel better I'm glad it is working.

DR Jeanne I thought most people were picky about their pillows.

DR Jeanne I thought most people were picky about their pillows.

Most people I know have little preference. Of course, there was a time when there weren't many choices--that nasty old foam rubber, down, or polyester. Now there are sooo many choices!

Aretha and I - well, we go way back with many happy memories of burgers at Johnny Rocket's

Just kidding, of course!

[FJL]

So wonderful to have Dan M back and posting.

[Jeanne]

Just kidding, of course!

Oh, you had to say that, didn't you? 

It was more fun imagining the two of you together. I bet she'd love your songs.

[Dan M]

Thanks to all of the DRs with good wishes!

I am very happy to be back!

[Dan M]

DR elmore, as bad as things felt like for me, I didn't want to gloam-away yet!

[Jrand74]

DR DAN M!!!  Hurray!

[Jrand74]

Yes I think MR BK's show choice is fine indeed....speaking just from recent experience.....

[Jrand74]

DR DRUXY I didn't see you in the index.....but I shall continue on with the book if you make appearance.....

[ChasSmith]

Of course it's a crap shoot how long these pillows will last, DR Jeanne, but other kinds of pillows don't last all that long for me anyway and we're talking five bucks per gel-foam-whatever pillow, which is unheard of.  And since Costco is on the way to my rehearsal, I believe I just might stop in tomorrow morning for another set.

HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO  TCB!!!

And Happy Weekend to All!

As long it's not "Goys and Dulls"!

[Dan M]

Perchance: "Guise and (Lou) Rawls"?

[Jennifer]

I like the musical BK mentioned. And I also think the whole program sounds like a great idea!

[TCB]

HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO  TCB!!!

And Happy Weekend to All!

Thank you very much, DR Ryacko!!!

[Jeanne]

DR Ginny, I'm glad you were able to switch to a blood thinner that doesn't require monitoring. Much easier! And the removal of dietary restrictions is just icing on the cake, so to speak. (Heart-healthy cake, of course!)
