Still not shouting.

I actually have a funny hyperventilating story.

Jane · « **Reply #92 on:** February 07, 2022, 12:34:12 PM »

A good number of years ago we were at Lake George in NY with the kids. There was a place on the lake that offered para-sailing, and it looked about as safe as para-sailing can get.

We went out on a speed boat where one by one they strap us into a harness with a rope that attaches to the boat. As the boat picks up speed, up into the air you go. My turn was after Keith and Craig.

There I was up high, in spite of my fear of heights, fear gripping me every time the wind bounced me, and laughing with joy until I begin to hyperventilate.

Jane · « **Reply #95 on:** February 07, 2022, 12:35:53 PM »

The guy on the boat turned to Keith and said I was hyperventilating as he was bringing me down. Keith's response was "leave her, she does that all the time".

I would have been terribly disappointed if they had pulled me down early. It was an incredible experience.

I have some old issues of Show Music magazine and The Sondheim Review. Not many, not a set. But if anyone is interested, send me a message. Otherwise, they’ll go to the library.

Will your library even take them? My library no longer accepts magazine donations unless they are current issues of title they already subscribe to. $:-\$

They have a free giveaway pile.

Maybe Jrand71's relatives should go shopping there instead of pestering him.

I appreciate you not calling DR CHAS SMITH.

Yes DR RON PULLIAM it's exactly like KNIVES OUT - which I used to think was funny.

There are three people I would chop off if I could.....at least three.

DR ELMORE if this house sells quickly, I'll send the St. Joseph to your brothers..... I know I sent one before, but it was unused.

DR JOHN G perhaps the cat that eats the food on my front porch is the same one that "meows" on your front porch.

Them pussycats is quick!

I wonder if MR BK got his envelope today.

Once I get the hard copy of my credit card bill WITH the extra charge, I'm switching over to auto pay.

And a pussy’s good for maybe six or seven at the most.

And I'm sure they can't compare as far as taste!

Nice story, Jane. I think I would have freaked out hyperventilating up in the air.

As Keith said, it wasn't unusual for me. I haven't hyperventilated in a good while.

Hello, everyone.

Jeanne · « **Reply #112 on:** February 07, 2022, 03:58:53 PM »

There's a lovely little French song called LA MER, which was some years later given English lyrics (very loose translation) and a strong beat and turned into BEYOND THE SEA, which was of course popularized by Bobby Darin and others. I'm very fond of both versions.

Jeanne · « **Reply #113 on:** February 07, 2022, 03:59:57 PM »

A busy Monday, which did include tacos.

Jeanne · « **Reply #114 on:** February 07, 2022, 04:00:11 PM »

I have no other news.

Jeanne · « **Reply #115 on:** February 07, 2022, 04:02:12 PM »

TCB, would you give us an update on how you're doing? I know you had the cast off and were given a boot. Do you still have the boot? Are you getting around better? Inquiring minds want to know!

Jeanne · « **Reply #116 on:** February 07, 2022, 04:03:34 PM »

Strong vibes to Larry and anyone else needing them.

Jeanne · « **Reply #117 on:** February 07, 2022, 04:03:41 PM »

TTFN.

Jane · « **Reply #118 on:** February 07, 2022, 06:01:32 PM »

I am ready to crash. I think I will attempt that nap that was discussed yesterday

Finished entering fixes, some of which involved Muse Margaret's approval. Turns out proofer two caught a very important thing that required me to add a few lines to an early chapter. That's done and I have to read them to the Muse.
