The Birthday Party was a success. My best helper is five years old. He wears his little blue apron with pride.

Awww.

DR elmore, this is what DR Jeanne had to say about anrica.  I don't recommend the Arnicare Cream by Boiron.  If it made a difference I haven't noticed. 

The Arnica Rub is my favorite of the Arnica topicals, since it has lots of other remedies in it as well. About a week ago I started a little trial of Topricin, a homeopathic cream for arthritis. I'm using it on my two arthritic fingers. It's helping. If you don't get results with Arnica, you may want to try Topricin. I've seen in on Amazon. It's very easy to use--no smell, absorbs easily, etc.

Life Extension has a wonderful supplement for arthritis, the Fast-Acting Joint Formula. It contains a high dose of hyaluronic acid and it really is fast-acting. A bit pricey, but very effective.

the Arnica Rub I like is by NatraBio. I see there is also one by A.Vogel, but that one is straight Arnica, the herb. The NatraBio product is a homeopathic combination product.

My cousin swears by Australian Dream for arthritis. I haven't tried it, but it has good reviews. She also uses Arnica for EVERYTHING, except when she's using Australian Dream.

Thank you, Nursie!  I have to investigate it this week, so I appreciate this.

DR Jennifer, and all DR's, fingers crossed you don't have snow.

In London, even as far back as 1990, they used to roam the aisles with ice cream, but ice cream was relatively quiet. 

During the movie today I munched on my potato chips during the noisy parts, fortunately there were plenty of them.

I couldn't survive a movie without popcorn!  The situation that's annoying is all this food and soda slurping at live theatre.

[Jane]

DR elmore, please let me know which one you get and if it works. 

[elmore3003]

I will try to see this Lonny Price film about the musical Merrily We Roll Along this week.

[Jane]

DR Laura your happy story about the birthday party is bittersweet.

[elmore3003]

DR elmore, please let me know which one you get and if it works. 

I was looking at the various products on Amazon last night.  I thought I needed a pill form!

I'm on the Season 4 closer of Republic of Doyle tonight and it's so full of illogical, uncharacteristic behavior that I'm angry rather than finding it a hoot, as I usually do.  It's like bad soap opera writing where characters behave out of character to get a story point across as ungracefully as possible, and I hate lousy writing, from grammatical errors to ridiculous plot threads.

I smuggle in a small bag of chips or popcorn while Keith smuggles in a large bag of popcorn.  His is superior to most popcorn anywhere that we want to eat his.  I have a special purse I carry when we go.  Today the woman in front of us handed over her ticket and then was asked to open the two bags she was carrying.  I had a moment of panic-LOL.

My friend Margo always brings her own stuff...popcorn, Twizzlers/Red Vines, assorted candies, cans of diet Pepsi, etc.

[John G.]

Something I'm still surprised about (maybe a possible chat topic if anyone else cares):  There's a new practice of having vendors go up and down the aisles before a show and at intermission, with candy, wine, soda, and other concessions.  This seems to make it clear that it's fine with management to eat, drink and rattle wrappers during the show.   This didn't really disturb me at a show like "Beautiful" which while emotional in its intimate story is mostly funny and light in its style.  But all the M&M's, etc, seemed all wrong at FIDDLER, with lops of chomping and slurping going on during deeply felt, emotional moments.

In London, even as far back as 1990, they used to roam the aisles with ice cream, but ice cream was relatively quiet. 

I don't like the idea of people eating during a show. Eat at intermission!

You can take any food and drink sold on premises into the theater where I usher. I don't care for it, either. But the patrons love it, whether it's a rock concert or the ballet.

My friend Glenn was a firm believer in Arnica. But I don't know which type.

I doubt it will ever play San Antonio, but I'm longing to see it.

I suggest she never carry a second bag with her, they might check them both.  I casually slid my purse to my side and back a bit so the size would not be obvious.  Boy, that would have been embarrassing and frustrating

She has a big purse/bag, so everything fits without trouble.

I'm watching a fun film called Le Concert about a Soviet conductor who was denounced by the Communist Party. Thirty years later he gets a chance to conduct a concert in Paris. Of course, everything that could go wrong does, leading to some real humorous scenes and some great music along the way.

The Washington Center has allowed bottled water for years.  Just a few months ago, they started allowing alchohol and sodas into the theater, BUT only when served in their new "travel cups" that have lids.  They're referred to as adult sippy cups.

Had a nice thirty-minute snooze and then watched A Mall and the Night Visitors - 1955 live broadcast on kinescope - it's exactly as I remembered it and I enjoyed it, old-fashioned as it is, and when TV was about very different things than it is today.

Was there a lot of shopping in the mall?

The person in front of me that was  checked wasn't smuggling food,  she just had a purse and a tote bag with her.  I guess that is why she was checked.

A Sippy cup,, like for a toddler?

Must say that these tilted speaker stands make an amazing difference - sound is now open and airy and any trace of muddiness is gone and the bass is much tighter and better because they're not sitting on the table - the stands have an open space beneath where the speaker sits and the bottom of the stand - very clever, although they really ought to come with the speakers.

Well, that's just what people have been calling them as a joke.  This is pretty close what the lids look like:

Two rehearsals to go before we have a paying audience.
