Is it just me or did BWW shrink? The font size looks tiny all of a sudden!

Font problems?

GH, how is the writing?

Can I have pancakes? I feel like pancakes. And sleep. And maybe vodka.

Hi brd! How's the C's?

Brd, I'm not writing at the moment. Mom damaged her ribs. Every little move, cough, laugh and burp causes pain and angst. So, I'm her cook-and-clean.

You're so nice, Hep. I would have hired a nurse!

Well done, Miss P.

What is ANZAC day?

Miss P, I don't know what to tell you then.

Anzac Day, April 25th, is our version of Veterans' or Memorial Day.

The Melbourne premiere of Mamma Mia is on tonight. You should've seen the construction going on for a two-hour event.

I learn more on this thread then I ever thought possible.

I am listening to ... whoops, I meant soundtrack!

It is clear that these are not formal singers, but it is still cute.

YWIW, we have a plan!

[shira467]

Posted: 7/9/08 at 1:17am

A plan? Oooh, I smell trouble!

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 7/9/08 at 1:22am

Now I am confused...

But Dancing Queen is keeping me company and making me forget my confusion.

Miss P has a plan? Should I worry?

I dug these old Photos up of my great Aunt Clara - I told stories about her to the FGF's - she was a silent movie star. Alas, I cannot find her pictures as Cleopatra, but here are some of her shots...







She was not a "classic" beauty, but was somewhat famous in her day... I remember as a kid seeing newspaper clippings from when she left the business to marry her second husband, and still photos from her movies. Alas, an evil step-grandmother absconded with most of these, and all I remember are the stories (the timeline of which may be in question).

I thought the FGFs might find this interesting. She was allegedly married to Al Capone's Dr., who fled to a medical ship after Capone was arrested. After she left Chicago, she became a silent movie actress.

Wow! These are wonderful, YWIW! Thanks for sharing.

We had dinner tonight with one of my friends from HS who lives out here now - it was painful. It's really sad when someone just can't move on.

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 7/9/08 at 2:32am

Somehow I ended up scanning a couple of hundred of family photos, some going back to I think 1900 Russia.

I wish I still had her foot locker of memorabilia...

Sorry dinner was not what you hoped. I hope you have a fun rest of the week planned!

I love old family photos - it's always fascinating to me to see how physical traits evolve and repeat over the generations.

J2 had so much fun last night - he was particularly disappointed tonight. For me, there were so many things that I remembered from years ago that haven't changed, so I wasn't particularly surprised. Disappointed, yes, but not surprised.

[YouWantitWhen????]

Posted: 7/9/08 at 2:47am

Well, J2 is a doll (as are you) and it was lovely getting to meet everyone, so it worked out for all.

Some day, I will show you pictures of my Grandma Tybee. She met her last boyfriend while she was at a disco in her late 50's. She used to eat matzo by the swimming pool of the apartment she managed, dressed in a too small bikini with a cigarette dangling from her hand.

Clearly, I take after my father's side of the family!

Thanks - you're pretty cool yourself!

I don't have any relatives that are that interesting, but I love seeing the clothes they all wore - especially my father's older sisters when they were in their early teens in the late 20s, early 30s. They were all snazzy dressers.
