I wonder if the food scene there is as sophisticated as it is in San Antonio!

Have you ever BEEN to the Ohio River valley, DR Singdaw?

The DH is currently in bed with a 103 degree fever. I am trying to avoid catching whatever it is. And he HAD the flu shot, too!

DR Jane, I could not have done this without their help and Richard's and Rob's.

Not without having a break-down.

Or another heart attack.

HEALTH VIBES TO YOU BOTH!!!!

Did he have the quad?  Maybe he has that extra strain.

That would be far worse.  Be well & sane vibes

What to get someone who will be moving in a few month, nothing big.  I was thinking of sending a nice gift certificate for a local restaurant. 

Any suggestions on a gift certificate that would help pay moving expenses?

You could just get one of those visa gift cards that you can use anywhere that accepts visa

A gift card for gas?  Or a MasterCard gift card that can be used for anything?

We're thinking along the same lines, DR Cillaliz!

[Ginny]

I give up - going to bed.

Something to think about-thanks.

I finished up a song when I couldn't sleep last night, and I've been finessing it most of the day, and it's going to be in the January young person's show - sung by Sami, as the opening number.  I've been working on this damn thing on and off for nine months.  The music came right away, but the lyric had to be very specific for the character who'll ultimately sing it - but that character has been developing over the last six months.  I guess I can spill partial beans and say that I'm creating and writing a one-person show for Sami about a fourteen-year-old girl.  This grew out of a monologue I wrote three years ago for Melody Hollis.  It was really funny and they'd come to me because they could not find any good monologues for that female age group and certainly nothing funny.  So, I began to think about expanding that into a series of monologues, which I then began to do.  But then I put it aside when I stopped working with her (thanks to her mother), and started thinking about it again at the beginning of this year.  I still liked the idea and I talked to Sami and her mom about it and the challenge it would be and Sami was very up for it.  So, we've done a bunch of meals and I've asked her lots of questions and out of that has grown about nine monologues so far, but it's also morphing into not just spoken monologues, but also songs, some of which I'm putting in the show because they're perfect for it (like Annie), and most of which I am writing as I go.  At some point early in 2015, we'll do a private reading for friends and see how it feels.  The structure is everything - right now it's just a bunch of monologues and songs and I have to sequence them and make sure there's a build and flow.  If we succeed with this, I think it would be very popular as a performance piece for talented young people, and the monologues themselves can be excerpted and used singly.

BK, you do realize that this could've been broken up into more than three hundred posts!

Now you tell me!

Again, thank you.

I am embarrassed to say we can't come up with something more personal that we can find to buy.

Someone I know who blogs has just done one celebrating his fourteenth anniversary.  So, he's been around almost as long as we have.  He is bragging that he's made over 20,000 posts since then.  I don't know what that means because he certainly hasn't done his thing daily - perhaps he posts five or six times a day or counts his responses to others as part of his tally.  Because if you'd blogged every day as I have for 365 days a year for fourteen years, the tally would be 4,900 blogs.  Now, if he's bragging about the number of posts and not blogs then at 20 thousand he is a poor loser to most people on this here board   Shall I tell him?

Good evening.

Happy Birthday, PennyO and Dan!

One of the rising stars in the country right now.

Vibes for the both of you.

Happy birthday, PennyO and Dan.

Thank you, Ginny. If my plans to get to Dayton happen, maybe I could stop in Middletown for a cup of coffee. It's been almost 30 years since I was there.

My attachment to old clothes is that I want to lose weight......

Ain't that the truth, DR Jrand64.

Make a card or find one that is particularly appropriate for the person receiving it.  Or you could get something personal but small and include a gift card with it.  A really fun key chain for their new keys, or some small thing for the home

just stopping in to dsay ahi and hope all are well

I sent an email to the host of the party explaining how her response made me feel.  It really does bother me. I'm sure she didn't mean to make me feel bad or offend me, but she did. So, I told her.  I also really don't want to go to the party anymore so I told her that too.

[Cillaliz]

What might even bother me more than the flute stuff is that the invitation specifically talks about bringing something for the buffet.  So, my email to her was about cooking and sent within an hour or two of receiving the invitation. She said no, I didn't need to bring any food just my flute. What?   I'm a good cook. Anything I've ever taken to a party has all been eaten, not a crumb left.  I really wanted to cook and be a part of that aspect of the party. 

[Cillaliz]

I'm kind of amazed that this is bugging me like this, but it is.  Whatever happens I'm glad I told her.  I usually just say I'm sick and stay home when I feel like this
