Yes DR JANE - as DR JOHN G said the Hays Office or whoever was in charge at the time changed the movie ending of THE BAD SEED.

In the movie the mother survives her suicide attempt [with a bandage on her head she phones her husband and tells him she knows she will have to "pay" for what she's done]..... and Rhoda is presumed dead until she bounces through the door - then she sneaks out at night and goes to the pier to get the penmanship medal and gets struck by lightning!

In the play, the mother's suicide attempt is successful, and the cast sits around for a bit talking about it and Rhoda and we are to assume that Rhoda, too, is no more.... Then she bounces through the door and it's clear her murderous ways are going to continue.....

I read the original novel in junior high school. It scared the hell out of me.

I, too, dread Saturday's time change. I see no reason for it, and I think it's a dumbass waste of time and energy.

Amen.

Yeah, no freakin' kidding.

(Not that I'm a person who goes around saying freakin'. I think you know what I really mean there.)

Fudging. Right?

That's it!

Kitty cleanup is over. Three cars are cowed after my dressing down when their wrestling managed to overturn my teacart and everything on it. Thank God the coffee was not.

I left Murder by Death off the list. Not Neil Simon’s best, but I did not see the twists.

I also read the novel DR ELMORE and I think there was at least one homosexualist among the characters.

That's quite a couple of dreams DR CHAS SMITH.

Perhaps there is someplace - a college nearby - where the theeder could borrow some mikes......we often loan ours to the local college when they need a few extras for the opera/musical productions.

Production vibes for MR BK & co.

Yes, it is always strange to me that gas prices surge because of some event or other......when the gasoline that is being sold right now was made from oil purchased months ago at a cheaper price and processed almost as long ago.

The oil being purchased now will not reach our pumps as gasoline until summer at the earliest.

My sister Paula and I are having a meeting with the estate attorney this morning. I am hoping we get the okay to mail out a first check to the 24 heirs......a few of whom I am sure will make the Nellie Oleson face when they open the envelope.

Then this afternoon we are meeting with the tax people about the 2021 income tax.....

Goodness, there has been a lot of posting this morning. Usually, at this time of day, we are only halfway through page 1!!

Busy day!

I had a very nice night's sleep!

There is one unusual thing I experience in the mornings when in bed: I often hear the telephone ring. One time. One time only.

It's very annoying, and I'm never really sure I "heard" it ring rather than "dreamed" it was ringing.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #44 on:** March 08, 2022, 06:48:36 AM »

A very annoying thing for me is television commercials, and sometimes the shows on TV.

They feature doorbell ringing. And the ringing is exactly like my doorbells.

VERY IRRITATING.

Sometimes, it's a telephone ringing that sounds like my house phone. And the characters on those shows just WILL NOT answer the phones, and I have to start wondering if it's MY phone.

Ticks me off mightily.

I wonder if DR Elmo has ever been in this situation?

A little bit of weekend photographic evidence.

Yes, it's a nice college stage and auditorium. It's just too bad there's no orchestra pit.

Hence, getting ready backstage.....
