We have quite a large quorum on the forum so why don't some of the quorum actually post something instead of just sitting there like so much fish?

Other Brit plays I like: Private Lives, Blithe Spirit, Beyond the Fringe (a revue, but still), The Importance of Being Ernest.

JMK, I am quite pleased the Oregon hasn't gone to self serve gas!

When I was in Washington last weekend we had to fill up the car and it was such a pain! LOL! I hated it! I much prefer to stay put in my car and have the slack jawed gas jockey take my debit card and "fill 'er up"!

And the gas in Washington wasn't any cheaper then here..which isn't saying much!

I agree. I like having the tank filled for me, even paid for it when I had a choice. The smell of gas really makes me sick.

Gas prices are also higher in California so I’m not sure our laws make a difference in the cost.

Last I checked gas here is between $2.49 (Arco) and $2.57 (where we go). I will look check the prices while I’m out today. That is the cost of regular and my car requires premium.

Of course Roar of the Greasepaint, while written by Brits, is not a Brit musical - it premiered on Broadway, and I don't know that it's ever played the UK in a first-class production.

Back from the NIE benefit and a nap and

I got a package today! DR George sent me CDs of bk's appearances on The Broadway Radio Show and 2 on the Dial. Thank you so much, George. So, now I'm hanging out here at HHW, drinking lightly flavored sparkling water, and listening to these delightful programs.

About six years ago (during the last century) I had to have several disks in my neck fused due to cervical disk disease. This was at the same time as my last long-term relationship, which I now believe was God's way of telling me that that lulu was a real pain in the neck.

Since recovering from the surgery, I have not had any pain in my neck, except for the occasional morning slept wrong feeling. That is, until last night, while watching TV, when I turned wrong and instantly got a shock of electricity running down my neck and into my shoulders. Since that moment I have been in agony. Every wrong move of my head (standing up, sitting down, or in bed) brings awful pain. Tylenol doesn’t help (it isn’t an anti-inflammatory), but it is the only thing I can take for pain. I really do not need this right now. The last time, I had the surgery, I wasn't even allowed to ride in a car for six weeks!

At the moment the only addition I can think of for today’s topic is the series ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL.

Has anyone seen JEEVES AND WOOSTER with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie? Thanks to my brother it is now on our Netflix queue.

DR TCB, can you get to an emergency room? Maybe they could give you muscle relaxants.

Jane · « **Reply #99 on:** April 16, 2005, 01:02:20 PM »

Off to check the gas prices.

I hate muscle relaxants. What about an ice pack-or a bag of frozen peas as they are more gentle than ice.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #102 on:** April 16, 2005, 01:05:25 PM »

DRLAURA - I know how you feel. A few years ago, after many years, I gave up my subscription series tickets. I buy individual tickets for shows I want to see.

The last year, there were two substitutions, and then of course there was a change to TWO venues, some shows at Clowes and some shows at the Murat (which really is a substandard venue for Broadway shows, cupholders on the seats, bring in your drink, walk in and out when you like).....

Beautiful weather here, dRGINNY headed your way!

Just watched an interesting show on CMT - Popularity Contest. A bunch of outsiders have been trucked into Vega, Texas, and have to spend their time getting the locals to like them. At the end of a week, the locals vote, and one of the outsiders goes home.

The Texans are very secure in their environment, and the outsiders all try to fit in, in various ways. Pretty funny stuff - for "reality" type programming.

Best wishes to JMK and Betsy.. I think that lawyer was a friend of mine. We used to drink wine together.

Best of warmest relaxing thoughts to TCB. Can you buy "over-the-counter" non prescription drugs that contain doxylamine. (Mersyndol my brand of choice)?

Sorry, I had read that David Merrick saw the show in Manchester, where it closed out of town before getting to London, but that he brought it to America anyway.

Not quite at the coast yet.

Thanks to all for the good wishes. TCB, you have made Betsy's day. Quoth she: "How did he know?"

And feel better--I've never had surgery, but I have a notoriously quirky back and neck that go out at the strangest times and I know the intense pain that can bring.

DRJane, I loved Fry and Laurie as Jeeves and Wooster. Very funny.

How could I have forgotten the great Brit film THE INNOCENTS? Perhaps because it's not on DVD?
