well I must sleep- I have the  dentist in the early am

Wow.  She gets a weekend, and has to spend Saturday morning at the dentist.     

[Dan M]

Healing vibes for DR Dan and sincere wishes no pain pills are needed

Thank you!

[Dan M]

I appreciate everyone's help to date. If any of you can, please share my medical fundraiser with others. I am on course for June 16^th! I need all the help I can get.  http://www.gofundme.com/se6tv8gg
I spoke with my chief oncologist today and she confirmed that the surgeon discussed my case with her. No lab results yet, don't know why, but she told me not to worry. My oncologist has been concerned that I am in danger of having my intestines strangulating because they are outside the abdominal wall. So, even with the approaching surgery to correct the hernia and prevent this from happening, she wants me to be very vigilant, and especially not do anything that could strain the area further. She said that she didn't help get me this far to have me die from an intestinal issue.

They among several others have helped me get this far and I am grateful.

Lately I have been having nights where I don't need to take any pain pills until bedtime.

That's great!  Even better would not to need them at all.

[Jane]

But the there are other days, like today, where I was in need by 6:00 pm.

So much for being happy for you.

[Jane]

Jane, my condolences on the loss of your Uncle

Thank you.

[Jane]

The concert last night was great.  Audience was really into it which makes it more fun

[Jane]

Condolences to darling Jane.

Thank you Bruce.

I'm logged in to Indiegogo and I've scrolled down the "funders" page and found my pledge, but I see no way to edit or delete it.

Of course it's getting late and I'm brain dead, but is there a place to do that?  I suppose there really might not be, but that doesn't seem right, either.  If anyone knows a way to do this, let me know and I'll change mine over to PayPal.

Indiegogo should clearly state the difference between directly entering a credit card and using PayPal.

I don't know how it's set up - when my guy gets home tonight we'll look at it, but it's probably too late.

[Jane]

DR Dan, Vibes you don't injure yourself any more before your surgery!

[bk]

After doing some more checking we've discovered that even Paypal funds are held until the campaign is funded.  Right now we're a sixty day campaign - we all thought the Paypal stuff came through instantly but now that we know that's not true, if we continue to do well over the weekend we're probably going to change it to a thirty day campaign.

[George]

And if anyone is considering doing the campaign, if you use Paypal it's better for us.  The guy who set up the page enabled it to be Paypal or just cc's, but we don't actually see that cc money until fifteen days after the close of the campaign.

Sorry, BK.  I meant to use paypal, but filled out the credit card info out of habit.

I used my debit card.  Can we go back in and change it (I haven't looked)?  And if we come into some extra money after pledging (or not using some extra money that wasn't needed for something else), can we up our pledge?

Yes, you can always pledge more.  See if you can switch it to Paypal - it may be too late once you've done it, but I'm curious about it.

I've been looking around and can't find any link to change (or even cancel) my pledge, so I don't think that I can change it to PayPal...but I'll keep looking.

Damn that must be a wealthy ballet troupe using Fly by Foy.

I was told that they rented the sets and costumes from a group in Las Vegas.  They were some nice sets (drops and things like that) and costumes!  They must have some money.

[George]

When I played Hook, hiring Fly By Foy was the reason we ended up doing the play instead of the musical.

The Evergreen State College put on "Peter Pan" (the musical) about 20 years ago or so (I played pirate Bill Jukes) and hired Flying By Foy.  That wasn't the only reason, but that production (I found out later) lost $35,000!!

[George]

Playing Smee and Mr. Darling didn't really work.

I don't think it worked, either.

[George]

I assume that version of PETER PAN is available on DVD.

I don't know about the DVD (I haven't checked), but the CD is available. 

[George]

I guess I am just happy to see live musicals being made for TV.

Actually, I am also.

[George]

Is the next one THE MUSIC MAN?

Fox is going to do their own live production of "The Rocky Horror Show."

Discuss.

[George]

And who is playing Harold Hill?

Hopefully, no one who has already played Harold Hill on TV.

[George]

Opening night is Audra McDonald

Nice!  I'd love to see her in concert.

[George]

I did see the national tour of "The Secret Garden" (by Marsha Norman and Lucy Simon) and Audra (Ann) McDonald played the Ayah.  Amanda Naughton played Martha (she eventually was on "Remember WENN"...I LOVED that show!) and Roger Bart as Dickon.  I didn't know who any of them were at the time.  A few years later, I found my program and recognized them after the fact.

[George]

well I must sleep- I have the  dentist in the early am

And I must sleep...I have to get up early.  I HATE to get up early on a Saturday, but I must.  I'm going to my union's treasurer training in SeaTac, right next to the SeaTac airport.  It's about an hour north of hear and it starts at 9:30 am, so I want to leave Tumwater by 8:00 am, at the latest.  Hopefully, there won't be any traffic.

Good night, all!
