Car show?

No, this kind of show biggrin.gif




Ok, not exactly that kind of show. But it´s at a theater and it´s comical and they mix song and dance with monologues and sketches. We´ve seen them at the same place before and we´ve seen them at an outdoor theater and prior to that we´ve seen them on the tellie... biggrin.gif



My parents used to bring us to Radio City Music Hall once every year to see plays, and they had sketches too; and singing and dancing too - the Rockettes! (my Dad loved them, lol). It was always a great night of entertainment, no matter what play was going on; but the plays were spectacular.

Well, I think the important thing is that you have tapped into that creative place inside you; and had a glimpse of what it is capable of when you have just scratched its surface. Imagine what you can create if you really dig deep inside for the mother lode.

Your writing is amazingly exciting and creative. I love characters that are in depth, and yours sound Awesome!


I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you are far too kind mALX. biggrin.gif

And I thank you for it Hug_emoticon.gif



Aw, thanks! But it isn't flattery; it is just how I feel. (I just speak what I feel).

Definitely alot colder today. Need to oil up the lock on my car so I don´t have to use the button on the key to get in (again)... biggrin.gif



My car that I gave my son was a Mazda - it did that in cold weather too. I used to have to run my hair dryer out on a long power cord and heat up the locks to unfreeze them, laugh.gif

(Don't try to defrost the ice off the glass with it though, not good idea).

The car I have now is the worst, my former one never had its locks freeze. Though that one was worse in basically all other aspects... indifferent.gif

I was thinking about food the other day, as usual, and asked my mother to buy me some liquorice root.

Well the poor woman has spent the best part of three weeks trying to find some. There used to be an old P.O.W camp-turned-tourist-attraction just down the road that sold it, but that closed a few years ago.

Anyway, just as as I was giving up hope this afternoon there was a knock at the door - one of our neighbours with a delivery of liquorice root. Apparently the only place nearby that sells the stuff is a pharmacy in the next town over. I think I might have to look into growing my own.

Long story short, I'm now a very happy chap.

People actually eat that stuff? blink.gif Oh, yeah, they´re called British... tongue.gif





Sorry biggrin.gif

I love licorice in any form; it makes great tasting candy = plus has healing properties!

I had a Chevy that wouldn't start if the engine was cold, but the doors never froze; but that Mazda - the doors froze up consistently in temps below 39 degrees (Fahrenheit).

I use regular engine oil to lubricate the lock on my car. Very effective but unfortunately the oil sips out pretty quick indifferent.gif

Really nice, I wish our family was as close as yours! KC's family was the same, they enjoyed each other's company socially too, went on vacations together, etc.

My parents were close with my Dad's parents that way, but once they passed away everyone kind of blew apart.

We´ve always celebrated Christmas, New Years, Easter and other festive occasions together with him and another (more long-distant) relative who lives close to the mechanic ever since I was little. A New Year without those two would be like huh.gif wacko.gif blink.gif

That is what is going on in my family since my Grandparents died. They were the glue that made everything bond together. When they passed, suddenly no one was going out of their way to spend time with the family any more. Everyone moved to opposite ends of the Continental US and never met for holidays again. The memories of those days when our huge family all got together for holidays and reunions are awesome ones, though.

In my own family, we all met at my house every Sunday for a good dinner, some card games, good family fun. The whole family came on holidays, even extended in-laws - even neighbors popped in to fill a plate of dinner or say Hi. Holidays at my house were a given for everyone. 2 things stopped that = I sold my house and moved into my husband's; and my son moved out of state. Kind of killed all the fun, without him and all the great neighbors, laugh.gif





Destri Melarg
I’ve got a pretty close extended family, even though the only time we’re guaranteed to see each other is around the holidays. Two uncles and their families are descending on my mom’s house starting monday. That will be followed by a half dozen cousins and seconds during the week. My brother is heading out Wed morning, and the missus and I will be leaving that night. All told I think we have 16-18 rsvp-ed for Thanksgiving, and that’s actually light for us (last year we broke 30).

Good times will ensue!

Well you sure would have been welcome! Some of the neighbors sat and ate there, then loaded their plates again before leaving (to get the desserts); but several just loaded up their plates and just went back to the comfort of their homes to watch TV or whatever.

Also, some of the other neighbors had stuff too, and everyone could walk arolund sampling everyone else's Thanksgiving dinner. One neighbor had a huge BBQ grill and used to grill up ham steaks/etc. and anyone that came by could grab up what they wanted from his grill. The girl across the street made casseroles and cheeseballs with crackers.

That neighborhood was just plain awesome all the way around, we had all lived across from each other so long - really cared about each other and helped each other out all the time.

As expected it was awesome!! biggrin.gif Lots of singing, dancing and funny sketches and I think I raised my Acrobatics just watching it all! laugh.gif

I simply loved it! Like last time indoors we sat really close to the stage and got nice eye contact with several of the performers, including the main guy who btw has turned 70! wink.gif His wife and daughter are also in the cast and you can so tell they love doing what they do, messing with each other trying to make the others laugh when they´re not supposed to! I love that bunch, pure geniuses when they enter the stage and it´s so much more fun to see them live as opposed to the tellie. They had a few guest stars too, all famous here, and again so much fun to see them live. I´m so glad we went to see it!

Well, nothing much to report here.

My mum took up knitting a while back, and has been making scarves. She's already made herself one, and my sister one, some odd sort of scarf that's just a big loop, and now she's made me one. But not the loopy kind, just a regular, black scarf.

It's a very good scarf, but between it and my facial hair, I'm pretty much just a beret away from spouting existentialism. laugh.gif

Fortunately, I would never wear a beret anyway, so it's not a problem.

I used to wear a black and yellow (Pittsburgh Steelers) scarf everywhere in winter, even to work and with my business wardrobe, lol. Some guy who used to dress up like a bumble bee and visit children in the hospital saw it and wanted it, because it matched his bumble bee costume, rollinglaugh.gif

I check my phone every day and it´s always a stupid telemarketer who´s called me and it´s been like that almost every day for years now, don´t even think much about it anymore. Well, last week I noticed I´ve had a call and even a voice-mail, as per usual, and as per usual I ignored and deleted it. Today I checked because I noticed there was a different phone number. Called the voice-mail and it was the job agency. Oops.. hehe.gif

Guess I´ll get a second reprimand now. First one I got this summer when I didn´t report my job looking activities. Thing was though, I had been granted four weeks off (with pay) and thus had no job looking to report. Well, apparently I´m still supposed to report that I didn´t have anything to report.
