Good one, MM. This is what I was listening to while figuring mileage for taxes. Willie Nelson.

Sorry HGL. But mentioning Reagan ? Has any other actor been considered?
How about Jimmy Stewart, Henry Fonda, Kirk Douglas, or Ernest Borgnine?

Along with our deficit spending. I'm just saying Reagan never met wealthy man that didn't have his hand out, and Ronnie was only too happy and willing to oblige.
The plain old folks sure liked the style RR was selling. Morning in America. Most folks didn't even know they were being schmoozed.

I don't see why the don't put him on the $5,000 dollar bill. People who see those are the ones who Reagan was most indebted to.

Not too tedious, except for:
Billy DeWolfe is given straight lines (big mistake) and Ethel Merman's punchlines, weren't that funny.
Donald O'Connor doesn't move enough.
Vera Ellen has a European?/Russian accent. .
Ask me about George Sanders...it's an OMG moment..
I would really like to see George M Cohan's I'd Rather Be President -but they didn't make a movie of that one...

oh, forgot to tell you:
h4. Irish Coffeehouse:
In Double Old Fashioned glass over ice, pour in this order..
*2 oz. Kahlua*
*2 oz. Bailey's Irish Cream*
Don't stir; let them float - Bailey's lighter than Kahlua.
Looks like a B&B, tastes much better to me.

Chopin has a fascinating biography. He suffered from ill health. But his music is beautiful.

I'm posting here, listening to The Lark Ascending and in a mellow mood for sleep. Yes, the gown is perfect. I keep thinking it is of such a design, so timeless, a woman could wear it now. Didn't Greer have perfect shoulders?
How could Charles be so reserved around her? Paula/Margaret deserved to be loved. Or did he put her on a pedestal?
I miss England in the Spring.

Thank you for the proofreading. Years of posting on the message boards have taught me. . .
A: Please play nice. It's OK can be snarky, but keep the posting partners in on the joke. I try to live by the philosophy- you can't laugh together, it's not funny.
B: Please be respectful. Even here you cannot be certain if the person you are dissing maybe one with whom you'll be doing business someday. I've written Coleman too, and the other posters were polite in overlooking it and simply gave me a pass. Other times, I have been corrected on details, but usually with a gracious and caring touch. That's what keeps this forum so popular.

> That key! How believable is it that the cottage would have remained untouched and just as it was years ago? Even down to the flowers on the tree branch! Not that it matters. MGM perfected this brand of delirious hokum in the 1940s. Black and white photography was at its glossiest; the whole production persuades the viewer to overlook such details as believability! Dont get me wrong -- I love it!
LOL. So true! When seen in a movie, call it:
h5. Gravity in spaceships
I'm glad they found each other in the Spring, but it does make it seem they were apart for maybe a week, or it was the following year.
Who was that Production Designer? Probably Cedric Gibbons.

Oops. But then, how nice of you to remember me..
Please, may I dig that up later? I wanted to take a walk in a rare MN Beautiful day in February.

I think the #1 reason the AMPAS gets it wrong is
The voting process is confined to members of that aspect of the movie-making process, with the exception of Best Picture.
Memories of Student Council elections come to mind..

> Very young. The same analogy to age and politics should be applied to slapstick. The cruelty of L&H and The Three Stooges and even A&C when they're cruel is not funny.
Wow, I come back from good ol' Lutheran Church, and this is what is waiting. I love L&H, but for the excruciating funny, beautiful way they build up the moment, not for the actual slap . That's why I do not like the 3 Stooges, though, the style is the opposite of elegant, anticipated comedy. Poor character development in 3 Stooges comedy. This is how I see them:
*L&H = Protagonists*
*3 Stooges = Antagonists*
L&H gives me a laugh, for I can identify with their antics. I do not equate L&H with the 3 Stooges ever. I don't understand how these two comedy classics can be considered the same.

Bible Verses for today:
h5. Proverbs 6:12-15
h5. John 8:42-47
The hymns today:
The last one is especially important, for there is backstory.
h4. Prove you love your God today. Love another person, though it does not benefit you.
I will be back later.

Excellent guitar work, I agree. Do you have another treat today? I will stroll along the banks of the beautiful Upper Mississippi today, and check in later.

Hey, lz, I'm all for that! U S Grant should remain on the fifty dollar bill. I sure miss seeing him, I'll tell you that!
Can someone get over to a novelty shop and .... never mind, let the Death Valley Days stay there.
