He is in the chorus, so nothing up-front, but one of the vital support cast in the background who makes it all look and sound amazing.

As my favorite director always says "there are no small parts, only small actors"

Well. . . ....I am still on a high. We went to the opening night of The Drowsy Chaperone at Jack's school, and it was incredible. I sound very like a biased mom, but everyone in the audience was truly blown away. I only wish Soooozle could have been there.... . ....

:lol:

Jack was fantastic. He is in the chorus, so nothing up-front, but one of the vital support cast in the background who makes it all look and sound amazing. He plays the part, in this scene, of one of the cameramen who dances around, lifts up the leading lady, and generally keeps smiling', movin' his feet and singin'.. .. . ..

Looks great!

Gads, have I got a lot to do. .. . . .. :wacko::wacko::wacko:

Having a 50th birthday party here this Saturday night for DH. He is MUCH, MUCH older than I. <_< There will be about twenty people, just family and a few close friends. (Um, guess who is flying in tomorrow, 5:42 pm?). . . . ...

.. . ..MIL . .. . .... :noadequateemoticonavailable:

Saturday night is coincidentally the final night of Jack's musical production, which actually works out well because almost everyone who is coming to the party will be heading to the musical afterwards. It'll be one big convoy.. . .. ..

SOosoosooOoO, I have to clean the entire house and the yard in case we are out on the deck, hit groceries and the liquor store... . . ....and the big thing: I decided four days ago to do a painting for DH. I am about half-finished.....it must be dry, matted and framed by Friday night.

:unsure:

So WHAT IN HELL am I doing on here??. . .

Well, forget all that unimportant stuph! Whutz the painting? Let some particulars already. A grand landscape of the deck and yard? A dashing portrait of the thespian in costume? Maybe of portrait of the prime minister or the Qween?

There would be no reaction. They are accustomed to being completely embarrassed by me. I would expect them to roll their eyes and walk away, saying, "please just don't hang that near MY room!"

Nothing so patriotic nor personal.. . . .. ..I actually thought about taking a pic of it before it was framed and then posting it, but completely forgot, and I had a helluva time getting it into this honkin' frame.....so perhaps I'll take a shot of it as is. There will be major reflective shine-back.. . . . ...

It is a very tight, close view of a pair of legs and feet in old oxfords, white socks and brown trousers. Behind the two legs are two legs of a stool -- it is a seated man - - and between the two (human) legs sits a trumpet, resting on the floor.....suggestive of a New Orleans jazz player taking a break.

'Tis interesting.. .. . . ...strange.. . . ..odd, vaguely surprising coloUrs... .... . . . .I think DH will stare at it like this.. . . ... :huh:

:rolleyes:

Major reflections eh? I get that problem too. I often take my paintings outside on the deck and face them away from the sun to take pics. Wurks best when it's snot raining. :( My deck is only in the direct sun early in the day, and afternoon has more indirect light. So I can take pitchurs in the afternoon purty gud. Yeah, I can. I can so. So thar!

I managed to put a pic of my painting up on fb, but cannot get in on here because apparently it is too large. I haven't had that problem before. Does anyone know how to change it to a size that fits onto websites? I'm using piknik. . ......

Em! I absolutely LOVE your painting! And I can't see anything wrong with the shoe. But I know how you feel. I am highly critical of my calligraphy and always see something that I am not happy with. I have been told that it's not supposed to be perfect, but it's hard to let it be.

My dad is a painter and he once did an abstract containing various musical instruments. The flautist was holding the flute wrong :huh: Now THAT'S unforgiveable, seeing as how that is my instrument of choice. <_<

Hello my dear psilles,

Just wanted to let you know I'm keeping up with reading the posts. I have the flu again. At least i finally know why I keep getting sick. It's due to the CLL. My doctor was upset that I didn't go in to see her sooner but I don't want antibiotics or prednisone if my body can still fight off the infection. Evidently that's not the case and I have to go in at the first sign of illness. Now the medical bills are rolling in for all of the tests that weren't covered. Luckily Clark still has pretty good medical insurance. He's extremely stressed about getting a job and the layoff is coming soon. Worse case we'll put our house on the market and move to something smaller. There are a few possibilities and they might actually bring me closer to NJ. We don't need a big house. I just hope we can keep Tony at Brown.

Enough about me. Jess, how's school going? Is everyone else doing all right between flooding and natural disasterss? I miss being online daily and miss all of you even more. I just don't have much energy. But reading your banter keeps me laughing. BTW, who's currently running the monarchy and are you attending the royal wedding?

Had a really weird comment on my profile page and was getting ready to send a copy of it to PeOter but when I went to copy it today it was already removed (thank you to whomever didi it). It referred to wanting a "personal relationship" with me, left an email address and when I looked at the profile it was male (although the name was female). Thanks to the moderators for doing such a great job - have to admit it creeped me out.

OK, back to rest. Watched the mini series Mildred Pierce yesterday (all 5 hours) and it was awesome. Today I'm going to watch the original.

Lots of wub.gifwub.gifwub.gif and hugs,

Loey

I'm really impressed!!!!! I'm phailing in my art class. Everyone else is so professional and my work looks like a 5 year old could do it. Will continue because it's relaxing and hopefully I'll improve over time.

Hugs,

Hi, Loweee! :) Great to read you again.......was wondering how everything is with you....take care o' that phloo!

But reading your banter keeps me laughing. BTW, who's currently running the monarchy and are you attending the royal wedding?

I just cannot understand it.....here I am, Psillyville Kween, and there has been NO official invitation, as yet, to the royal wedding for me in the mail. Gads, they certainly take it right down to the wire! It is in two weeks, and I have to book a flight, get hotel reservations, arrange for someone to take over royal protocol in my absence.. ....rather inconsiderate of them, I must say.. .. . .....Can they not appreciate that I need time to make arrangemnts before I go overseas??

Had a really weird comment on my profile page and was getting ready to send a copy of it to PeOter but when I went to copy it today it was already removed (thank you to whomever didi it).

He/she targeted me, as well. Thanks, mods!

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By HectorConvector · Posted

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
