Most recent as of this posting!  May 19.  You can use the "search" function (which is what I did) to find posts by a specific poster.

Yes, he posted and then people piled on criticizing. What a welcome back lol. Somethings never change.

Dollypop shared a post in the IS IT OK TO SING ALONG thread. Love hearing from Dollypop.

I think that's a huge exaggeration. A few posters replied to his posts in the "Audience Members Singing Along" thread and I very respectfully asked him why he sings aloud to the title song of HELLO, DOLLY! three times every time he sees the show. I was sincerely asking, not "piling on".

How fragile are we here?

Or I can just ask like I did. 

 

I am glad he is ok.  I enjoy his posts.

Exactly. Sometimes I think I'm the only poster with a working scroll bar.

I too am glad Dollypop is still with us at BWW.com. I love his enthusiasm and his knowledge of theater lore.

Invoking the Thumper rule.

What is the "Thumper Rule", Almira? The last time I saw Bambi, Eisenhower was in the White House.

Thumperian principle: "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all".

 

I love Dollypop.

Dollypop has a fan club- hooray!

Almira, we don't hear so often from you.

Not being in NYC very often, I feel reassured by the presence of the old school!

I love reading Dollypop's post and his love of Dolly is amazing. But, the question was a bit of a no-brainer- and of course- he should have expected mostly negative responses.

Thanks for your concern.

I've been hospitalized since Feb and am now in rehab. All of this is due to an allergic reaction to anaesthesia.



As for my singing along with HELLO, DOLLY!, I feel entwined with the show and cannot contain myself. People who sit near me claim my enthusiasm for the show is contagious.

Good luck- and I hope you feel better soon.

Glad you are on the mend.   The day you were trying to book tickets for Bettes return in Dolly from your church rehearsal and sharing the angst with this board is CLASSIC!

Thanks for answering my question. I have to admit your enthusiasm is well-earned.

I'm so sorry about the health problems. Please do get better soon!

I booked those DOLLY tickets during an actual church service. I don't recall whether it was a wedding or a funeral.

As for me health: I'm building up strength in my leg muscles so I can walk again.

Dollypop, can't wait for your big return back where you belong down that bog staircase.

My sister was impressed with my progress and commented that I'd be doing thevtwo-step in no time. I corrected her and told her my goal is to learn all the tracks of "The Wsiters' Gallop" and perform it live.
