I think that's all any of us can do - try to make it better. And if we fail, we try again. To not try is a lesson in negativity and giving up. I suppose there are times when people do give up because they reach that point - I hope none of us on this here site do, though.

Very true!

The Frug I could still do.....

I watched Travels With My Aunt last night.....hadn't seen it before.

Whoever did Maggie Smith's make up for when she played OLDER was right on the money....she looked pretty much the way she does on DOWNTON ABBEY, and she even used the same voice.

I haven't read the book, but perhaps I shall. I did like a lot of the dialog exchanges....maybe courtesy Jay Presson Allen.

"Oh, I see. You were a member of a theatrical troup."

"Yes....well......that description will suffice."

I can hardly wait for an opportunity to drop this into everyday conversation.

I don't expect to make it until midnight, but I'll do what I can.

Listening to Ernest Ansermet having his way with the Sibelius second symphony in early 1960s stereo that is so far superior to anything they do today - vivid, up close and personal, with every ounce of detail clear as a bell - and I really like this version - the first movement done at a faster clip than any of the others I have.

Apologies to DR FJL, who sent me New Year's wishes last night, but I think I had just logged off.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to DR FJL and all other DRs. And Hainsie-Kimlets. And BK.

Rain was forecast for my 'hood today. We did get some, but it started late. Maybe more overnight.

Ginny · « **Reply #222 on:** December 31, 2016, 08:09:39 PM »

I'm probably going to drop before the ball does, so - Happy New Year!

When I stopped at Whole Foods Market the other day I bought a mini carrot loaf, 3-4 inches long. Now that was good! Much better than the cornets, IMHO. No! NOT "cornets"! Cronut! Oy!

ChasSmith · « **Reply #224 on:** December 31, 2016, 08:14:27 PM »

Three quarters of an hour to go.

So who's winning the most Oscars? What night is this, anyway?

Jeanne · « **Reply #227 on:** December 31, 2016, 08:16:13 PM »

Can you imagine a spell-checker that doesn't have "cronut" in its vocabulary? Unthinkable!

Things look bad for the gang.....gangsters have forced the owner of the Roller Boogie Rink to sign over his ownership - they want to build a shopping mall on the site.....

BJ and Teresa aren't talking anymore.....and BJ is roller dancing to a very slow sad song all by himself .... what will happen?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #229 on:** December 31, 2016, 08:16:52 PM »

Obviously an uneducated Spellchecker DR JEANNE.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #230 on:** December 31, 2016, 08:17:35 PM »

Wait.....I think this tape is the one that has the gangsters confession on it....there may be hope yet!

Jeanne · « **Reply #231 on:** December 31, 2016, 08:17:42 PM »

Jrand74 · « **Reply #232 on:** December 31, 2016, 08:18:11 PM »

Nope....just more sad music and now a roller disco couples dance....
