RE: DANCING WITH THE STARS.

I"m not sure if anybody else watched besides me and DR Cillaliz, but did clyde annoy you?

I don't mind that he stood up to the judges, and yes i am sure he has some level of commitment. But i agree with what len said to him. He is a champion athlete and he does not seem to be giving 100%. Emmitt and jerry (rice) had their challenges too. But i always felt like they were really trying.

To me if you have less skill then you should practice twice as hard as everyone else (like billy ray did). I get nothing when i watch clyde. And it really bugs me. Leeza was not very good last night but at least she tried. And billy ray is not very skilled but his routine was great.

I really hope john and clyde are in the bottom and that one of them goes.

I spent an entertaining evening yesterday by watching the 'Scope version of "Oklahoma!" and then the "Todd-AO" one. What a curious misfire that latter DVD is, technically. A superior version of the film in a vastly inferior presentation. I cannot recall one frame being in sharp focus.

Then I watched the "Candide" concert with Paul Groves and Kristen Chenoweth (yes, AGAIN!), and enjoyed it very much.

I know some here don't like it atall...and that's okay. I have simple tastes.

DR Ben, great news about your FL trip.

I spent a week once at a time share on Sanibel. I kept pinching myself the entire week, feeling like I didn't belong there - so luxurious! I'm sure your time will be most pleasant.

singdaw · « **Reply #93 on:** April 10, 2007, 09:41:12 AM »

And DR Ron Pulliam, I knew the quip about TULSA, but had never heard the one about SANIBEL.

[Is that what you had in mind, DR singdaw?]

My DR Ron Pulliam, you DO love to stir the pot, don't you???

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #95 on:** April 10, 2007, 09:42:31 AM »

What to do? What to do?

I find myself in a curious situation. One of my co-workers has decided that she is going to be part of my daily walks around the lake.

I've not invited her to join me. I've not voiced any interest in being accompanied. I've not blessed her vocalizations on the topic in any way.

Today she let me know she has brought in her "walking shoes" in anticipation of "our" walks. She has even gone so far as to establish a set time for each walk.

However do I tell her I don't wish to walk with her? This co-worker has a history of trying to ingratiate herself to folks and insertig herself into facets of their lives.

I don't want to hurt any feelings, but....NO!

Oh, dear. I will be very interested in what our DRs have to say on this subject; I seem to find myself in such situations frequently.

My instinct is to confide in another co-worker and ask that, the next time it comes up, she be told that I have often stated how much I enjoy the alone time of the walk as a way of clearing my head. Perhaps she'll grasp that.

Another co-worker has just arrived at work. This is the one who has been masking body odor with perfume.

Today it's grotesquely obvious.

I may have to go home "ill."

It's because i'm a lesbian that you said that, didn't you Ron???

Singdaw, that was a thread, a long time ago. IIRC JMK (possibly former DR but he may come back, who knows) began using that phrase after it appeared as almost a throwaway on a Law and Order episode when the female district attorney was leaving the show. It has become a staple, much like

DR Ron, I would have no problem telling the co-worker that I preferred to take my walks alone. That you get pleasure in the solitude.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #104 on:** April 10, 2007, 09:51:57 AM »

I know how much y'all love folks "sharing" such info.

Otherwise it's a beautiful day in Oakland C-A!

Matt H. · « **Reply #105 on:** April 10, 2007, 09:52:58 AM »

And now I'm heading downstairs to check the mail (expecting the DOris Day boxed set today, and I'm going to be LIVID if it doesn't arrive, even though I have no time to watch any of them until probably the weekend.) Then, it's on to preparing lunch.

NEWS FLASH:

I've prepared and mailed my taxes.

And GUESS WHAT!!!???!!!

I get a refund from the state this year. My first refund in more than 12 years!

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #109 on:** April 10, 2007, 09:59:33 AM »

I am SO looking forward to this week's "Lost"!

I've seen the previews for the "new" editions of "Ugly Betty" and "Grey's Anatomy"....and I have to say I'm not overly excited about either. I don't mind "best of" shows, as a rule, when you get to see some terrific scenes from great shows of past seasons.

But "Ugly Betty" isn't yet a season old. It seems like a stall tactic to stretch the season.

As for "Grey's Anatomy" doing something similar with highlights from its past seasons....feh.

I sure hope there's an all-new "Smallville" and "CSI".

Good morning DRs and H/Ks and lovelies and studlies .... and lesbians. I hope all and sun-dried are having a glorious morning.

DR Laura,.... there are times that you make me laugh out loud here at my desk, by some of the things that pop out of that unexpected brain of your's! By the way, is Don OK ??

I'm up, I'm up.

Jose, simply forward each and every e-mail to spoof@ebay.com. Then, you can log into your account, just NOT from the e-mail - go to ebay.com via your browser. Change your password. Then you can see if there are really things listed. Or PM someone here your eBay username and we can look up and see if any of those items are indeed for sale. But, use your browser, log on, change your password immediately. Then, at the very least, you can unlist all those things and contact eBay. eBay is horrid about having a phone number, unlike paypal.

bk · « **Reply #115 on:** April 10, 2007, 10:16:52 AM »

Excellent vibes and xylophones to elmore and Cason.

MusicGuy · « **Reply #116 on:** April 10, 2007, 10:18:00 AM »

And, to dear pixie-like, suave, and hunky DR JOSE ........

Be very wary of any email from either e-bay or PayPal that doesn't have your actual epbay username as part of their greeting. There are a lot of bogus emails from offshore baddies, and the whole look of the email is incredibly accurate and authentic looking. I get them that look so real, and even start off "Dear Lyn," etc., but a real one will also say right up at the top [username *****] and it will be what your actual log-in username is.

And as many have told you this morning, don't ever go ahead and log in or communicate with a bogus email.

And if you don't do what I tell you to, then it's "over the knee" time for you!

MusicGuy · « **Reply #117 on:** April 10, 2007, 10:20:40 AM »

Good morning to dear Esteemed, rested, rehearsing, needled, and ravishing BK --

I wish I'd seen your post about e-bay before I sent mine to dear Jose....I wouldn't have had to be redundant..... oh yes, I was redundant.

MusicGuy · « **Reply #118 on:** April 10, 2007, 10:22:27 AM »

Wednesday greetings! Even though I was here early this morning with travel vibes for DR Elmore, this is my first chance to log in for real today.

Is DR Cason traveling today, too?
