DR JRand64, let us hope the work comes through!

Miss Nolan, whom I met once in the mid-1980s at The Drama Book Shop, was Lady Macbeth in Wells' strange film of Macbeth.

He could have simply filmed my dumbass brother his überbitch wife for nothing! She's so narcissistic she'd be in a snuff movie for the attention.

Errands and market trip are finished. I have to tote some junk to the basement and my day is wide open and all mine.

It's so humid that I've turned on the AC and I'm in for the remainder of the day.

DR Michael's leg, wrapped and iced. (Still no details, though)

Thanks for relaying this, Sing. But where's the rest of him?

I had a horrid little dream where I was supposed to take care of someone's cats while they were away, and I forgot. It had been a few weeks, and I was going to the house to see if they were still alive, and then I woke up. Yuck.

This is why DR Ron is called.

MEGA HEALING VIBES to DR MICHAEL, VIXMOM, JRAND, and anyone else who needs them!

JRand, please give us a critique of the BE ACTIVE brace once you've used it a bit.

I also have been forgetting to mention that I watched the premiere episode of Grace and Frankie or whatever the Jane Fonda/Lily Tomlin series is called, having read nothing but raves and how absolutely hilarious it is and how novel the concept is. Well, for ME, the concept is not novel at all - it's nothing we haven't seen in one form or another. I've also read that the dialogue has some of the best jokes ever on a sitcom. I did not find that to be the case and I must tell you I think I smiled twice but never laughed out loud the way I have been at The Honeymooners or any good episode of I Love Lucy. And that's part of the problem here - the "jokes" are so obvious that I see them coming a mile away. I love the cast - they're all fine. But it's the writing and the directing and the kind of cockiness behind this show that, for ME, makes it not work. But, I will happily acknowledge that I seem be be in the minority about this, perhaps even a minority of one.

No, maybe a minority of two, but not of one. I found it tired and didn't care for Jane Fonda. I posted the other day that I watched the first episode and probably wouldn't watch more. I didn't want to spoil it for others who hadn't seen it yet and might enjoy it. I'm glad that some viewers enjoy it. I was also pleased to see Ms Fonda and Ms Tomlin both looking great and WORKING. I like to see positive images of healthy older folks to help counter the abundance of negative stereotypes. Netflix as a producer of original material is another plus, even if I don't care for all of their material.

I may say something that some will find terrible, but here I go. Sometimes you have to know when to fold 'em. Funny cannot be forced. I never thought of Jane Fonda as funny. If I did subscribe to Netflix, this wouldn't be on my queue.

I just got back from seeing "Avengers: Age of Ultron" with my sister. She enjoyed it and I enjoyed seeing it again.

Now, I am off to my parents' house for some dinner...fettuccine alfredo..and some visiting.

George · « **Reply #53 on:** May 17, 2015, 03:01:36 PM »

My mom called just this morning, asking if I wanted to come over today for an early dinner. I was otherwise just going to watch some TV and do some laundry.

George · « **Reply #54 on:** May 17, 2015, 03:02:25 PM »

But I'm not going to pass up fettuccine alfredo!

Have a good rest of the day, all!

Back from a patty melt and no fries or onion rings. Finished the last bit of patter save for what the July show will be - I'm waffling back and forth about it - thinking about Paul Williams, actually, which could be a really fun and tuneful show.

And yes, there's one piece of cake here.

Jane Fonda, who does look good, has had just a little too much work done on her face, at least from where I sit. Miss Fonda has been funny once - in Barefoot in the Park.

I agree. I didn't say she looked natural! Lily Tomlin, IMHO, does look natural--and she also looks good.

Back from an early Indian dinner.
