No one else in The Hunchback of Notre Dame is using a French accent, so I was thinking with my five lines as King Louis XI, I might try one.....but I keep sounding like Pepe LePew - and he has been canceled.

My question for ASK BK DAY.

I have noticed on The Donna Reed Show and a few other older shows that there is a lot of sibilant "sssss" from actors.

Is that from the way it was recorded or is it in the reproduction? Shouldn't the sound engineer have noticed that and taken care of it?

Even an established and professional actress like Allison Hayes is afflicted with the problem in the big budget spectacular Attack of the 50 Foot Woman.

Wednesday morning greetings! Yesterday I had a nice Zoom get-together with the book group sponsored by the library where my career began. We discussed Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises and the new Ken Burns series about the author.

Then I spent a couple of hours sitting outside Starbucks with my friend Rebecca, who is still having a very hard time following the death of her husband last fall.

That is quite an unbelievable news report, DR elmore3003. It sickens me that the former president has unleashed the powers of the ignorant on us all.

Whatever accreditation the school has should be revoked

Right, like that is going to happen. I read the story yesterday. Shocking enough was that they didn't want their teachers vaccinated. Incredibly shocking is the statement vaccinated people harm those who are not vaccinated

I am watching some episodes of The Donna Reed Show. I had forgotten how much I really like the chemistry between Donna and Carl Betz as Dr. Alex. And Paul Peterson and Shelley Fabares are both really good as their kids.

They are all so attractive and actually look like a family.

True, but boy was that episode with Susan medically stupid. Really, they knocked her out to do a few stitches in her arm

Most of those older TV shows are videotapes of 16mm prints and the sound frequently will do that. Not the fault of the recordist.

Singdaw, there should be a version of Breath of Life with strings on YouTube - that's where I grabbed it from.

Yes it was DR JANE......I don't think they ever ran their scripts past a medical man.

I still recall my father watching an episode from a medical show and laughing out loud. The x-ray was upside down.

This morning, twelve days after being dropped in the post box, my rent and health insurance checks finally cleared the bank. I do not know if Trump's idiot "slow down the mail" postmaster is to blame or inept clerks in two different offices. but that is a huge weight off my chest.

Great news!!

It's an "Academy," so it could be a private school and might not even accredited.

Between Annabelle's refusal to eat, the microwave, no help around the apartment, amnd the usual aches, it's been another lousy difficult day.

Had to read that book four times for different classes. Never liked it, but I grew to dislike it more with each reading.

Having to read a book you dislike once is bad enough.

Glad that's solved.

I sent a donation to a charity in Chicago last December and noticed that the check hadn't cleared the bank. In March it finally did. I suspect that was a slow mail problem and not carelessness on the charity's behalf.

After my ordeal yesterday morning of crawling about the floor, moving furniture to re-plug a power cable, and the painful effort of getting my body off the floor, I spent the remainder of the day in serious pain that no amount of Advil wanted to alleviate. I feel much better today, although my right hip joint is very tender this morning and my mobility is still shaky.

Pleased that you're doing better. You might want to talk to your pharmacist. When you're pushing the envelope with one pain med you can alternate with a different one, so that you're not taking too much of either one. But you should know which are complementary.

Vibes for continued relief.
