My computer is already repaired and heading back to Best Buy, much faster than the 2-6 weeks time frame they gave us.

Wednesday morning greetings! I will be E & T this afternoon because I'm going to a new eye doctor for an exam. My eyes will probably be dilated and I'll need a nap to sleep off the effects.

One week from today is the Big Event, and to add to my stress, this morning I got an email from the Macbeths asking if they were welcome to attend it? They saw the newspaper blurb.

My initial response was to reply IN A PIG'S EYE, but I am debating how to respond. I think I will ignore this until I am back in Ohio. At this point there will be no peace negotiations between them and me.

I suppose it is nice they asked $:-\$

I think it would be better for your brother to make an attempt to see you without mrs macbeth first.

Vibes dealing with, and or ignoring them.

I've been fretting about this all morning. For the past three years he's sent Christmas cards to which I've not responded, and the last time I was in Ohio, I let him know through Randy that I did not want to see him.

I am bothered by this request since I'm sure part of it is Lady M's wish to see me fall on my face or, if it goes well, to pump her own vanity by letting everyone know she's my sister-in-law. On M's part, I'm sure he sees this as one more round of restoring a broken relationship, and I weep for that, but there's unexpected bad blood and resentment there that popped up in 2006, and I will no longer be his bowling pin to set up and knock over on his nasty whim.

Wise counsel, DR Jane. I agree.

And DITTO on the vibes!

The Macbeths have NO business slinging their drama into what is YOUR moment to shine. Even if it is well-intentioned. Which I doubt.
But this is your conference, and before your presentation, you should just be focused on that.

Thanks. And my horrid arm looks a little better even though I stopped taking the prednisone yesterday.

A big thank you to all at HHW for the thoughts, vibes, and prayers for my family and myself.

THEY ARE APPRECIATED MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.

Viewing and service will be Friday afternoon and evening. The service we chose with all the "extras" is only about $2000 more than the insurance, so that will be helpful dollar wise.

I would encourage anyone who can to look into a policy that will help cover these final expenses because things cost a LOT.

DR ELMORE it's YOUR day.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #43 on:** September 30, 2015, 10:07:03 AM »

I enjoyed reading about TSOM.....I think my friend Darren Matthias is on this particular tour.....

I love a front curtain, too.

I like the show AND the movie - and I really like to work on the show. Why change things? It works like gangbusters if you do what's on the page. You bring a lot of audience goodwill because of the movie, and that can be eroded quite quickly if you start playing around with it.

As Moss Hart said about George Cukor's direction of A STAR IS BORN (if I remember correctly): "The firm, firm hand on the wrong, wrong note."

Sending good thoughts to DR GINNY for her meeting today.

I appreciate all your advice. I need to decide if i take action now or wait until I am back in Ohio.

It seems like it will upset you if they show up at your event. Maybe you could just email them and tell them that you would be too distracted if they were there. And maybe you can arrange a separate time to meet.

Jane · « **Reply #47 on:** September 30, 2015, 10:53:06 AM »

Meet, maybe, but without the mrs.

I never want to see either of them them again. Ever!

DR Jrand I am glad you had insurance to help. It seems like you and your brother stayed organized. I think it makes copng much easier. You and your family are in my thoughts. Sending vibes of comfort.

I know. Agreeing to see your brother later might get them off your back. I wish they had left you alone. Respinding sooner than later might make it eadier for you to put them aside, in your mind, and focus on the good parts of your trip. Good it will be

I was halfway expecting him to show up at Randy's house over the weekend and force some sort of confrontation, and if i had to deal with it, i would deal with it. i never expected the email of this morning and it bothers me because, even though he's once again attempting some sort of rapprochement, his frustration over my refusal to deal with his attempts to kiss and make up could lead to some real ugliness - perhaps violence - on his part. What I would prefer are no scenes, no conflict, and no confrontation.

A troubling situation that has no good or easy answer or solution. If you can avoid dealing with it at least until after your presentation, that would be ideal; but it doesn't sound like that may be possible here.

Can Randy and his wife help run interference?
