Paul's Corner

Dear Paul, I’m really sorry that the show had to end and in this way. I thought about you all this week and how it must have been a bittersweet experience for all involved in the show, enjoying the performance and knowing the countdown was really on. I hope the memories will only bring you joy. Healing thoughts to your back as well and whatever other body part might be sore and may the next job come to you quickly.
Re. your comment 2 threads back (?) re. your running to the corner to make it around to see what is next and feeling exhausted by it (something to that effect anyway), it helps me to slow down if not stop entirely, when I feel this exhausted from running combined with the feeling that I’m not making it and it feels the imagined corner is just slipping further and further away from me and instead let that thing around the corner come to me for a change. It helps me find my center and calm that I lose when I run in some sort of desperation/frustration/anxiety etc. I hope that you will find something soon to help you keep yourself and your family financially afloat. I don’t like these feelings and I’ve had these a few times over the last few years as well and I only need to make it for myself (and the kitty I guess). Best wishes and lots of love to all of you as you hang in there together and also on to each other I imagine.
I REALLY, REALLY loved your poem on trusting the universe. It did and continues to resonate in me as I’m experimenting with this on a daily basis. It helped me tremendously going into the 2 1/2 days of on-campus job interview a week and a half ago. Less than a year ago, I would have been a nervous wreck, this time I was almost eerily calm and focused, but I approached this experience with whatever the outcome, it will be a good experience for me and I’ll learn something from it, esp. since it was the first time I had such an interview and had to go in with blind faith. They didn’t tell me a whole lot ahead of time what I was supposed to do, didn’t get my schedule until I got there, and some of the bigger presentations on such short notice (late Friday afternoon and Monday afternoon and I left Wednesday morning), usually this drives me nuts and actually “derails” me, since I don’t feel that I can adequately prepare and give my best when it counts. That is also one of these false constructions I’ve bought into re. what “the best” is. I tend to define this ahead of time, rather than from within the context and within the situation, from within the actual experience. So I had to trust the universe that it will work out somehow, esp. since I couldn’t control every detail of this experience which by the way was a VERY good thing, trust myself that no matter what I can do it even with not enough preparation time and somehow not let it stress me out. The two and a half days of interviewing were exhausting, but I have no regrets, not everything went smoothly, but those situations were an opportunity to show how I handle the unexpected. As I was the first of the three finalists, I get to wait the longest. Hmm one week down at least 3 more to go :) If I’m meant to get this job, I will get it, if not I’ll keep looking for something else and will find it, probably in its own time rather than mine-yep the virtue of patience, not always my strong suit :)
Also liked your comment on how you think of your “imperfections” as perfect, powerful stuff and I think a much healthier attitude than beating oneself up over “not being perfect.” I wish a friend of mine would understand that!!!! She had a nervous breakdown while I was gone for the interview and is back in a very deep depression & possibly suicidal—thank you to all of you who discussed depression in the last post, I got a lot of insights for dealing with this “altered reality”-it really feels that way-both for my friend and for myself. It hurts to see her so self-destructive (mostly in her thoughts) and it hurts because in her depression she is choosing me as her target to direct her anger, hostility towards and she blames me for her problems, some of them anyway and I’m finding it rather difficult not to let her use me as her emotional punching bag, the codependent part in me is taking the abuse and is allowing her to make me feel guilty for pursuing my career (which is one of the issues) and the recovering codependent in me is taking small steps to set up boundaries and to deny her that destructive power over me. Finding that “balance” between supporting her, protecting myself and taking care of me and everything else that comes with that territory is a challenge, but again, I’m learning something that I want and need to learn and which is good for me.

Tim, I wanted to let you know that I’ve thought about you as well as I read about your depression, I just never got around to posting anything in the last 3 weeks or so. I’ve been sending you serene thoughts and strong thoughts to your wife to hang in there with you. I’m glad you are taking your meds and I hope that they will help you get over those really deep points. I has been said before, but let me add this again, it’s really hard and difficult and incredibly painful to be the wife (for me partner) of someone who deals with depression. In the last relationship, K. was severely depressed and I saw his pain and desperation etc., yet I couldn’t do anything about it, or so it felt, and I sure couldn’t understand the depth of his despair and that is really maddening to be there on the outside. What I found tricky was the unpredictability of the emotional swings, one second he seemed okay, 3 seconds later he was in a place I couldn’t reach him. That roller coaster is brutal and exhausting, as it must be for the one dealing with depression. Not sure if that’s helpful at all.

Diane, you are in my thoughts as well. May the pain of the loss of your brother ease with time and the memories you have of him never fade. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers and also for your health problems. I hope you will feel better soon and everyone else who has had health issues. Inn, how’s the knee doing after the shot?

Okay, this has gotten way too long [again ;)], hello and welcome to the newbies and lots of love to each and everyone else here of my friends and people I love and treasure a lot!!! Missed you guys!

Paul, I’m crossing my fingers and pressing my thumbs for you (the latter is what we Germans do for good luck) that something good will come up for you ASAP!
Love, hugs and kisses to everyone!

Paul,

I posted on the last entry by mistake, but I'll just say it again here...we are your worldwide
web of support and affection. And you have brought us all together, enriching all our lives. Thank you.

Hope your back is better soon, and the mood lifts . . .but nothing wrong with taking the time to mourn the work and the friends with whom you shared it.

hugs,
Sally

Paul, I'm sorry that it's over for you.
The back pain does not sound good. I hope it heals quickly and that good fortune will again shine on you. Rest your back and get well.

Evelyn, Hi. Trusting the universe and ourselves is good. That imaginary bar sometimes needs to be lowered a little, or a lot. Often it's only our own expectations that drive us. Reality can be somewhat different. I'm really glad to hear that Paul's poem gave you a lift. He's certainly a man to inspire us, on many counts.

Have to run.
Peter

Dearest Paul,

Last year, when Follies 2003 ended, the cast and I were really on a downer. My cast was elderly, (I was the youngest) some more than others, and I thought, how could I possibly do another show, what with health problems only getting worse in 2 years?

Well, believe it or not, most of the cast is coming to the first meeting of "Follies 2005" next week, very upbeat, and eager to get going again! I even found new people that are interested...one is very young..60!

So, you see, Paul, hope springs eternal, and please take heart. You will find something, with the help of your agent, the love and devotion of your wife and daughters, and all of us in your Corner.

I hope you network among those whom you have touched with your talent...your name was visible on all the advertisements for TFM. As an actor, why not contact the Ensemble Theatre in Sydney..they constantly are producing plays, and usually are busy. It is a small theatre seating 200. Tara Morice starred in a successful play there in 2002, putting in 8 weeks of performances.It's just a thought.

In the meantime, as Janice would say, "head held high, elbows up, dancing feet forward", (or something like that.) We love you!

Grandma

Paul, here's hoping a wonderful surprise waits for you in the days ahead. If not a really terrific job, one that will allow you to keep your Beer Cafe idea "brewing". Somehow, everything will come together as it should. I believe this with all my heart.

Evelyn, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for that job to fall into your hands. Sorry about your friend with the depression issues. Please don't allow yourself to be treated badly by her. You shouldn't have to put yourself through that, nor will it help her for that pattern to continue. I hope she's getting help for both your sakes. It's so hard, I know that for a fact. E-mail me anytime if you want to talk about it.

Peter, it's nice to know you're around. You always have such great insight no matter what's being discussed. I've been picturing that duck since you wrote about it. The image is a bit mantra-like!

Mary, the second book is good. I'm going a bit slower than I'd like, but I also realize that much of what he's talked about so far is not new (if you've read the first book). I'm not saying it's not good, I just realize that the excitement I felt in reading the first one is more tempered this time.

Grandma Mil, will you be watching the Academy Awards tonight? Do you have any favorites? I would really like to see Bill Murray win, I love him...and he's a Chicago boy.

Inn, I hope you're starting to feel some relief.

Diane, best wishes to you to feel better soon!

Hi Sally, Janice, Kelly, Tim, Whit, Joan, Marge, Cara, and the momentarily vanished Dhiana! Lots of love to all the Corner from me!

I will definitely be coming to Florida for the big reunion, or union I guess. Whatever, the party of the century!!!

Peace,
Michelle

Hi Paul,
Hope there was a bottle of Coopers attached to yesterday's posies!! Take a swig from the bottle in each of our names feeling our love and support surrounding you. Relax a little bit so your back can heal.

How about teaching dance/movement at a nearby college or university or to disabled students? I agree with Gran Mil: why not do local theater?? Ever think about opening a studio out of your home??? I think you'd be great at any of the above endeavors.

Sending you special thoughts of comfort and serenity to you today. Till next time.

Elbows up, head high, feet moving forward.
J.

Dear Paul,

Give yourself time to mourn your loss - shock, disbelief, sadness, anger and finally acceptance.

Then, pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and stand tall on the tracks waiting for that train to stop and pick you up....

Good wishes to you and to all here at PC.

Sally C.

Dear Michelle,

I'm so happy that you are considering coming to the Paul Convention next February! The list of those who really think they could make it down to Florida next Febr. are Tim, Linda, Mary (from Ireland), Inn, Whitney and now you. If I forgot anyone, forgive me! It's a long way off, but we can dream, can't we?

Yes, Ellie and I watch the Oscars. We tape it also, for I use some of the musical numbers in my video concerts.

Bill Murray is a heavy favorite, but then, so is Sean Penn, and I think Penn's performance in "Mystic River" was absolutely heartwrenching.

I think Charlize Theron will win. She is drop dead gorgeous, more like the stars of the 1940s. She was made up in "Monster" so heavily, that she is unrecognizable. I read that a lot of the women stars are dragging their mothers to the Oscars rather than their lovers or husbands. Hurrah for the older mothers!

Peace and Love,

Grandma

Hi Gran Mil,
I'm rooting for LOTR to take a good number of Oscars tonight. Renee Zellweger is due for her first since she missed out the last two years for Bridget Jones's Diary which I really liked, & Chicago. I'm with you on Miss Charlize who brings a glamour from long ago.

Miss Ev: Stay close enough to your friend to be supportive, but far enough away not to be used as a convenient scapegoat for issues that are hers alone. If she verbalizes suicidal thoughts, tell someone. It is a myth that people who talk about committing suicide don't do it. They do!!

Miss Diane: I'm thinking about you.
Miss Inn: Hope your back is better.
Miss Michelle: It was close to 60 degrees today!!
Timster: Here's hoping your taking your meds.

Add my name to the list of possibles for your Follies next year. We shall see. Till next time.

Elbows up, head high, and feet moving forward.

J.

Paul, behind the abrupt and undeserved ending of the show, shines the fact that it was obviously a wonderful experience for you. You obviously lit up the stage and gave immense pleasure to those who were lucky enough to get to see you and the rest of the cast performing. I really hope that something will come back to you from this success and that you will get the chance to share your talent with others very soon.

Universe, come on! Give this man a break!!

Evelyn, you seem to be gaining a great deal from this whole interview experience. It appears to be a good thing in itself for you. Wishing you whatever is best for you.

Peter, you sound busy. I hope today doesn't involve too much running around for you!

Millie, the cast of Follies 2005 are so lucky to have you at the centre of the show! Good luck with it.

Michelle, I'd like to see Bill Murray win too, but for best film/director, my heart lies with Peter Jackson and Return of the King.

Inn, Tim, Diane and Paul - healing prayers for all of you. Linda, I hope your back is coming on too.

Hello to everyone in Paul's Corner and love to you all!

Mary

Paul
I think I know what you are going through with the show closing. I too had the same experience last December. Our church put on a very intense program that we started rehearsing for in October. After the final three performances, I was in withdrawels for the next several days. I felt as if I had lost a good friend. We are now rehearsing for Good Friday and Easter. We heard the tape of the Good Friday music, and it is so beautiful that I kind of teared up. Hang in there Paul, you will persevere. The greatest asset you have is your family and PC.

Kelly
I will be seeing the Passion this next week. I will post after I have seen it too.

Gran Mil
Save a space for me! I will definately be there for the Paul gathering and your show. How many is that so far. I got a letter recently that said I was entitled for a refund from some company I had never heard of. I responded to the company saying that I had never worked for any of the Co's that were listed. They called me back and after a lenghty conversation, I found out that I had indeed worked for a company that had changed its name several time in 24 years. The monthly dividend was about $25.00. Then came the good news. I will be getting several thousand dollars. With the government talking about cutting back on Social Security I am going invest it. But I intend to set aside enough to come to Florida next year.

Tim
Glad to hear you are feeling somewhat better and thinking more positive.

Love to Sally, Janice, Kelly, Tim, Whit, Joan, Cara, Peter.and others I missed! With so many coming together here it's hard to keep track of everyone.

Take care
Marge

Hello all

Paul, I hope things get better for you and you (and everybody else) are in my prayers as always

Marge- Each competition we do the same numbers, we just have so many competitions so we compete against different studios(some are harder to go against, some not as hard) and so we can perfect our dances after each competition. I just got back tonight, the competition was in coloumbus which is about an hour and a half away. We did pretty good, a lot better on the ballet than last time. But, there's not a lot of ballet to compete with since ballet is very hard to do so there aren't very many numbers of it. No "pipes bursting" this time, so it turned out to be pretty good.

For anyone who wanted to know about The passion, my dad called me from Fl. and told me that it's not a movie that you want to see. Of course, that's his opinion but it was very brutal and gruesome and about 30-45 minutes of it was just the soldiers whipping him. A lot of people left and my stepmom didn't watch most of it because her eyes were covered. But, that's what my dad felt about the movie and he's seen some pretty bloody ones. Mel Gibson said that he hoped this would help people become christians but I think that it just shows people how much pain and suffering he had to go through for us.

Hope alls well..love,cara:)

Paul, this is just the begning, your next project is right around the corner. Just think of this as a vacation.

Peter, Sally, Cara,

I walked out of "Passion" completely inspired and at peace. Although it was graphic and violent, very violent. It wasn't the violence that got me, and made me openly weep, as did many. It was the fact that 1 man would give SO much, and endure SO much just for US, so that we may live eternal. I was not affected as much by the movie magic blood, but the realization of what he actually endured. the perfomance of
Jim Caviezel is absolutly superb. I have always been a fan of his but never realized the depth he could reach. It is incredable. You feel loved, completley loved. At least I did. It put a whole new meaning to my prayers at church today. I can't say if it the film was acuate to the pinpoint, or if every little thing that happened in the film really occured. But I can say I honestly don't think I will ever be the same. But in a good way. A very good way. A very very good way. Thats just my take on it and you are all entitled to your own opinions, but this is mine. And I will forever be grateful for the experience.

Dear Paul,

I am sorry to hear your run is over. But perhaps a more exciting opportunity will come about..... one never knows.

I just finished the book by Michael J. Fox about his acting career and trials with Parkenson's Disease. It was a coincidence and a pleasure to see him on Scrubs for a few shows just last month. He is doing well.

It is inspiring, as even though he has made much more money than I hope to in a life time, he talks about the hard times, and taking "safe" roles for him. He says that the Parkinson's Disease has made him a better person. Those are brave words, but perhaps through our trials we do improve.

Take care!

I just received an email from a friend that is incredible. It's a picture taken by NASA and the hubble telecope. It is simply called "The Eye of God" The first time I saw it shivers went down my spine and the hair on the back of my nech stood up. It is awesome. f anyone is interested in receiving it, just click on my name and I will try and forward it to you.

Gran Mil
Just got through watching the Acadamy Awards. I haven't watched it in years, maybe because there were no quality films out there. This year I watched all of it. I was impressed by how beautifully dressed the women were. There were no tacky gowns, and no loaned $200K jewelry. It was very well presented and no one had a special subject to talk about.

I noticed that Sophia Copola won an Oscar for something, I can't remember. I believe she is the daughter of Francis Ford Copola. I also think the was the baby that was christened in the original Godfather.

A lot of New Zelanders won oscars. Paul, your not far from there are you?

Take care
Marge

PJM, here's to the very, VERY short time that it will take for another job to come to you.

I'm interested in seeing Passion, but I don't know if I will actually go and see it, now that I really think about the violence in it, and I just want to picture Jesus as Jesus and not Jim Caviezel as Jesus.

Hm, the local theatre idea ain't bad...

And about Best Film at the Oscars, I will scream like a nutcase if RotK gets Best Picture.
And if it doesn't...
...then I will scream like a nutcase. Only in grief.

*Yelps in horror and covers up the last line of Marge's post*

Marge, I have added you to the list of possible PCers coming to Florida on Febr. 5th (Saturday) 2005, until Febr. 7th (Monday checkout)

I have chosen Saturday ( the 5th) as arrival day. That means the weekend would include Sunday (the 6th) also, and then, Monday morning (the 7th)the morning matinee of "Follies" for friends and family out of town. It is the same show that will be shown on Tuesday and Wednesday night to the general public.

Everyone could leave Florida Monday afternoon, after the morning show, if that is what you desire. We are 30 minutes from the airport.

I checked around this morning, and made a tentative reservation at the Hilton. I have ordered 2 deluxe rooms, 4 to a room, at the rate of $112.50 each room. That includes a coffee maker, hair dryer, etc., and a heated pool and a dining room for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and only 30 minutes from the airport and 20 minutes from our village, with transportation to the beach, which is only 2 miles from the hotel.

The Hilton will hold this reservation until the day before arrival without any charge, and I can cancel anytime, or add more rooms also. We used our credit card to hold the rooms. Divided up 4 ways, the room rate is very reasonable, and if I waited until later in the year, the rate would go up, for sure, for Febr. is the height of the season in Florida.

So far, those thinking of coming are:
Tim, Mary, Marge, Linda, Whit?, Michelle, Janice,
and Inn. Now, if Paul and family could come, it would be the mother of all conventions!

Ellie and I will case the place to make sure it is up to snuff for my chickies.

If you want to "talk" to me personally, just click on you-know-what.

Peace and love

Grandma

P.S If anyone would rather not share a room the single room rate is $94.50.

G.M.

P.P.S.

Please note that the $112.00 per room is for one night...2 nights are what I reserved.

G.M.

Hey everyone!!!

Paul I'm sorry to hear about the back pain. I'm currently suffering the same. I've read that it can be linked with financial worries. Try not to fret because I know something wonderful is heading your way. Oh, did I tell you that I finally had a Cooper's and loved It? Very tasty!

Go Ev! Go!!!! It does sound like the whole interview thing was a great experience. I'm pressing my fingers together for you, but you're prepared and that's better than luck. You're a winner just for having done this. Hats off to you!!!

Sally, I agree that a period of mourning is healthy. Many actors talk about the sadness they feel when they end work on a movie. I guess that's the down side of the biz.

Hi Peter. Hope you're well.

Hi Mil!!! Your cast is so fortunate to have you leading the way. You give them something to look forward to and an opportunity to experience the joy of performing. You're wonderful! And I agree with your advice to Paul. His name recognition is higher than ever and that's money in the bank. Many of the actors in the US did plays when there was a brief writer's strike (or was that a threat). It's certainly worth checking into. He can really use his recent experience

Hi back to you Michelle. I hope you're well.

Janice, I like your suggestion of using dance for healing. That sort of job would be rewarding on so many levels. I've considered learning about art therapy for the same reasons.

Hey Sally C. I love your encouraging and uplifting post. Change is the only constant and I think it's a real accomplishment when we can look at each event as an opportunity for and exciting new ride on the train called life.

Mary, I'm with you on your philosophy too. One day Paul will look back and see how the experience he just had led him to his next. It's all good!!

Marge! How cool that you came into some cash. I hope that you have good advice for investing and that your money generates more. I look forward to meeting you in FL. Can you email the image you mentioned? I tried your link, but I don't have any experience with the MSN interface. How do I reach you?

Cara, I've heard the passion is gruesome too, One of my friends recommended it, but said it wasn't a movie he'd see twice.

Kelly, I'm glad "The Passion" was a positive experience for you.

Suzanne, the Fox book sounds interesting. I'll check that out (literally). I agree with you that it's highly likely that Paul's run ended to free him for another and better opportunity. Now all he has to do is find it and it helps that this adventure is looking for him as well. The ways of the universe are mysteriously cool from my experience.

I'm sorry this was long. I took notes as I read the posts and that's why my responses are so methodical. Hello to Tim and Inn and all the others I haven't mentioned. Where the heck is Dhiana???

Love,
Whit

God so many comments and not enough time to really absorb them. This is such an elaborate place of free spirits flowing and helping each other. I'm doing much better you guys. I can tell.

Paul..You're post got me. I cried. I know how you feel when something you cherish so much ends. But you know what? There will be another gig. Chill out for a few days and get your head together. You've got to come down from TFM and become Paul the actor who can do anything.

Wow the posts here are just truly amazing and inspiring. It really helps me. I have started something new...I'm FORCING myself to be functional. It's so very easy for me to lie down in bed and just cover up and sleep the day away. But I refuse. I started a treehouse for my boys. I'm putting in a tile counter in our kitchen. I've installed new outside light fixtures on our house. I fixed a closet door that has been broken for probably a year. THIS is helping me. I refuse to give in. My doctor said I had to lose 72 pounds, so I'm on it.

Auntie Mil when you see me I'll be a thin, great looking great feeling man of 44 1/2. And if you want me to tap dance out on stage and introduce you just say the word.

love to everyone...

And Paul..just remember your in my thoughts and everyone here as well. You are not alone. Be sure and talk to us. Tell us what's going on. You'll get back on stage or behind a camera again soon. You've got what it takes. I watched SB again Saturday night. No one that talented can be held back. No one! I expect to see you at the Oscars one day.

peace and love everyone...

Timmer

Whitney
I sent you the picture via you-know-what. If you don't receive it, let me know and I will figure out another way to send it. Maybe snail mail.

Gran Mil
From my new found wealth, I have set asside enough for my trip to Florida. I also treated myself to a new lawn mower. The rest will be invested for my old age. LOL

Tim
Your in my prayers. Your probably tired of hearing it, but "take your meds" A special Love to you.

Acadamy Awards; I can't believe how many actors & actresses we have lost this past year. They will live forever in their films. It boggles my mind that some of my favorites are in their early seventies. Noooo, not you Paul! LOL

Hi everyone!

Marge, that's great news about your windfall! I think when you're not expecting something like that, you get double the enjoyment. You are obviously meant to go to the PC Convention - I hope to see you there!

Suzanne, I have always admired Michael J Fox for his bravery in the face of his illness. When my two boys were young, one of our favourite films to watch together was Back to the Future. They just loved him.

Gran Mil, you are SO good to us! Thank you for making the reserevations for us, but how much did it cost you to do so? Please let us know so that we can reimburse you. I'm really looking forward to the trip already!

I stayed up through the night last night to watch the Oscars and got a great kick out of watching the non-violent invasion of Hollywood by New Zealand. What a great night for everyone Down Under!

Whit, I really enjoyed reading your post. You managed to catch everyone in the net!

Tim, you have great heart. When you encourage Paul with your words, you always move me very much.Thanks for saaying the right things to him in the right way. I'm glad you're feeling better. I'll be keeping you in my prayers.

Peter and Michelle, how are you both doing?

Michelle, I hope the duck has stopped twirling!

Inn, do I sense a whisper of Spring in your direction yet??

Dhiana and Katalina, I hope wherever you are, that life is being good to you.

Paul, as ever, good wishes.

Hello to Evelyn, Diane, Linda, Janice, Cara, Natalie, Kelly, Sally C, Joan, Sally, Jen and everyone else who comes to the Corner to pay a visit.

Love to all of you,
Mary

Tim
You have inspired me to get my comfort zone,(my comfy chair) out of the living room and get my tread mill upstairs, and get my arse on it every day. I admire you for getting out of bed each morning, instead of staying in that warm comfy nest.

I feel a touch of spring in the air. Saw my first Robin a few days ago and that means spring if getting closer. Most everybody's spring bulbs coming are up. Mine are still in a bag. I always forget to replant them. The weather here has been in the balmy 50's. I thank God each day for being alive and cherishing the day.

Gran Mil
I agree with Mary. Please let us know if we can reimburse you for the Paul Convention. What a rush it will be. I am going to have to go back and review your "Follies" website to see what it is all about.

To the rest, Love & mental hugs to all on PC.
Take care
Marge

Dear Timmer,

You sound so much better, so hang in there, you are doing everything right! By the time you get to Florida, you will be svelte (is a man svelte?)so bring your bathing suit!

Mary, we just gave the hotel our credit card number, which holds the reservation for us. We didn't lay out any money yet. At the end of our fabulous weekend, we will collect everyone's share for the rooms. I hope it is all right that I ordered 4 to a room, with 2 double beds. If anyone wishes a single room the cost is $94.50 per day. Marge, good for you with your windfall!

The Oscar program was perhaps the dullest in years. I stopped watching it after an hour, and then taped the rest. Tim, I know you and Whit were into screenwriting. It seems that Sophia Coppula sold her screenplay to "Lost In Translation" with only 80 pages..I guess if your father's name is Francis Ford Coppula, anything is possible. I don't know what the fuss was about. It was a very ordinary story set in Japan about two lonesome people...what else is new?

Paul, we're thinking of you every day! Please know that no way would this "convention" idea have happened without Cat and your Corner and your contribution to it. We send you our gratitude for sharing your warmth and generous spirit with us, and bringing us together.

Peace and love,

Grandma

Gramma Mil

Check me down , but I would have to have my own room, as the family would be in tow. We are trying to plan a trip to disney in Feb next year, but they would not be coming to the show or anything like that.

Kel

Dear Kelly,

How wonderful that you and the family are planning a trip to Florida in time for the convention! Please let me know if you want your room with 2 double beds, etc. Actually, the kids are allowed to come to the morning matinee...it is free to family and friends from out of town.

Love,

Grandma

quick flyby hi to the PC.

Hey Grandma!! "I wanna do that too!" lololol
I want to come to Florida next Feb! Add me to the list? I will sure try to MAKE a way for THAT holiday! tee hee snickerdeedee!

Hugz to Paul and all and special hi to Tim, Evelyn and Inn baby!

Everyone doing okkkkkkkk? I've missed you guys.
snif....

Sounds like our PC corner convention in conjunction with Auntie Mils follies is going to be something truly incredible. Which means we're going to have to do something especially exceptional for Auntie Mil...I'll be talking to CAT about that.

This is going to be a blast. I'm so looking forward to it. It's black tie of course right Aunt Mil? Me in a tux..hell not bad..so long as I'm not fat.

And to my main mate Paul and his lovely wife Andria...you've gotta come too. You'd come if I get your way paid for right? so think about it.

peace and love to everone

Timmer

Glad to see you back Katalina babay! Wouldn't it be great for us all to hit FLA? I could sure use a dose of Florida sunshine in Feburary. Oh, Mary, yes I've gotten a peek at spring. It was 50 today. I haven't seen any robins but I did hear geese today. It's supposed to be 60 this week! I can't wait. Grandma Mil, thanks for your hard work. I hope I can thank you in person next year.
Peace

Dear Katalina,

I have added you to my list. I soon will be ordering another room, with all the responses!

Tim, you won't be needing a tuxedo unless you want me to put you on the stage in one of my gigantic acts..I don't know which one, for everything is in my head and on my idea sheet..I am meeting my cast this Saturday for the first get-together!

The incredible thing that you all can do for Grandma Mil is already being done...everyone's enthusiasm in wanting to come to Florida to be part of the Follies weekend is gift enough. Yes, Paul and family would reign supreme here, for sure!

By the way, I just assumed that most of you would
find almost 3 days in Florida enough. The 2 evening performances of Follies that fill the 970 seats each night is Tuesday and Wednesday, Febr. 8th and 9th. As director, I am allowed as many tickets as I need.

Peace and Love,

Grandma

Aunt Mil

For that kind of event and b/c it is such a special occasion...a tux is in order for the evening. Besides I haven't worn one in years. I'd love to look incredible.

Anyway... Have a great day everyone...

love and peace

Timmer

Tim, you're setting the bar extremely high for us girls. Have mercy! Especially since I'm known to be a blue jeans kind of chick.

But this is for Mil, so yes I will make an effort to look my best. I think I remember how to dress up...

Love to all the Corner,
Michelle :)

Hi Michelle,
So, we'll be Venus in bluejeans together. We'll wear jeans and jewels. Works for me!!

Janice

...and if I could fit into a pair of fancy jeans, I would wear them too on our weekend!

Grandma

Thank you dear Grandma. :-) Muah! :-*

Hi back Inn. It will be awesome! Never been to Florida. Guess I'd better get my salsa game back on eh? It's been ...mmmm dormant along with some other things of late. sigh.
I've been dealing w/a bit of the topic of interest of late myself. I have been undergoing some difficulty myself w/a friend who is very very depressed after losing a job he was invested in - career wise. The termination was taken personally and it's understandable, but as I have been around this person lots, I have also paid a price as the one being supportive (in many senses) and in a position where I cannot totally avoid dealing with this. It's hard when nothing you say or do ever comes out right or maybe even "breathing the same air" creates issues...ok, i don't mean to be mean..but it has been painful for me to be a friend to this person when going through mood swings which truly seem at polar opposites moment to moment, day to day. I remember going through similar feelings myself a few years back after an extremely hard separation from a boyfriend of 4 yrs, but...god I hope i wasn't that awful. But, I'm sure I was....
It's no fun being on the receiving end of all that anger, irritation or conversely apathy and withdrawal from everything including conversation.

Sigh. Ok. sorry for the blather.

I feel terrible for anyone experiencing this. It's also hard for those who care and love the person/s going through this and feel helpless and unable to help or walk around it. Sort of a catch 22. Who wants to be in firing range, but if we take a break or leave the scene even momentarily....it could be viewed as abandonment?

Suggestions?

Luv to all today.
Sorry about the couch session. I will pay in virtual hugz n lattes later.

Katalina

Hi Kat,
Seems Whit has also be dealing with a like situtation. Possibly our thoughts for her may be helpful to you as well.

J.

February? *cries* I don't think I can make it, because that'd be about the time when the uni's send me the letters saying whether I've gotten into whatever course I've applied for or not. And in March I start uni.
And about the Oscar results...
*screams like a nutcase, just as she said she would*

Jen

Hey all,

Kat, just be the best friend you can be, but you don't have to be EVERYTHING to this friend. Just do your best. Thats all you can do.

A little nervous today, I have a lump in my neck that I have been dealing with for a few weeks. It keeps getting bigger. I get the results of my CAT scann today and am very nervous. They have had me on 2 different meds for it and I get very nauseous with this second medication. I just keep eating crackers. I suppose it's been a good diet!!! I've been strong and put up a good face for my kids but I have to admit, my husband has not been much support, but that could be because I am not showing I need the support, except right now with you guys. I don't usually ask for positive thoughts and prayers and stuff like this, but I am feeling very close with many of you and would appreciate a quick prayer, if possible. I'm sure it will be nothing, thats what I've been telling myself anyway. My neck has taken presitence over my shoulder and now I don't know if I will have my shoulder surgery on the 16th of this month. Time will tell. I have 2 doctor appts today so maybe I will get some answers. And relief! OK, wined long enough.... I'm over it. Off to work to try to get 6 weeks of work done in 2. Love to everyone. I really really love all you guys.

Paul, you're pretty great, too.

Kelly xoxoxoxo

Hi Kelly,
Healing and loving thoughts are coming your way. Let me know what the CAT scan results are. Take your meds as best you can. Tell the Doc about the nausea as there meds to take to prevent it. Dietary helpers: toast, weak tea, broth, jello, water, ginger ale, ginger tea, Italian ices, sherbert.

Janice

Dear Kelly,

Here are positive thoughts and a prayer from Mil here. The waiting is the hardest!

Until you get the results, please know we're all thinking of you and love you!

Mil

Kelly,
I'll extend the healing and clarifying thoughts to you as well. I'm glad you asked for support, because you don't have to go through it alone!!! Keep talking to us! and I wish you the very best.

Katalina, I'm sorry you are going through this experience. It's tough, I know. What's been helpful to me is to talk to my other friends about it, feels less like carrying the burden alone (although the depressed friend would want to kill me if she knew, but again her problem,although I need to be respectful to her as well) and they support me and do other things with me. It's so easy to get wraped up in a friend/loved one who is dealing with depression and to neglect my own needs. Keep that balance in your life any which way you can and take care of you, because if you don't, you hit burn out and might slip into something like depression yourself and that's not good! and if you can, don't second guess your every move, word around your friend and what impact that might have one him/her (?)

Thanks to all of you for your support and thoughts for me and my friend right now. I really appreciate it. I'm hoping her meds are kicking in soon and that this time around she will stay on them and in therapy. She didn't 5 years ago when the same thing happened and she didn't tell anyone that she quit both on her own.

Grandma, if I can, I'll be there in February, but I'm a bit cautious to commit right now, since I don't know what I'll be doing come the end of May or what continent I will be living on either. But I'm definitely with Tim on the dressing up for the event :) sorry ladies ...

Jen, good luck getting into uni and the course you want. What are you interested in?

Love to everyone!

Healing thoughts and prayers to Kelly, and Evelyn and Katalina's and their friends too. Love ya!
As for dressing up..I don't do dresses. I will be happy to wear a pants outfit. Providing I actually get on the plane and get there. Grandma Mil, I may need a single as my husband might come just to help me get there. I won't know until closer to the time, but I really would like to be there.
The weather has been beautiful these past few days and I feel pretty good. The leg is doing ok. So things in my little corner of the world is nice.
Peace.

Tada! Here I am!

Paul, hon...((hugs)) dammit. I second the dancing-to-heal theory. It WORKS. Of course, so does a few Coopers with some mates so...bottom's up, either way!

Please Note: There is no way in HELL anyone's going to make me wear pantyhose to Mil's shin-dig...so don't be startled when the bare-legged Goddess steps out of her mini-van to reveal SKIN, ok? Just so we're all on the same page there...

Hugs to everyone going through a rough patch, esp Kelly with the unknown neck thingy. My girlfriend had a goiter removed and she's A-ok, pathology was allright. SO...I'm praying for "benign" things for you. ;-)

Gotta split. Work's hell. And my baby turns SEVEN today! His first hockey game is tonight, too. He and his five yr old brother are playing on the same team, so I'll relate the hilarity after the event...little clumps of midget skaters chasing after a small dark disc...heeheehee!

Hugs,
Dhi
**Poof!**

Hey all,

It's a tumer. I go to the ear nose and throat speciallist 3/10 and then they will schedule me for a biopsy. The bad news is, Because my employer offers insurance, my husbands insurance is kicking me off. Effective 4/1/04. I can get insurance through National City (my employer), but its only 90% coverage with a 1,300. deductable. I won't be able to have the biopsy till after my insurance changes. And then I have the "pre-existing condition" crap to deal with. Also, I don't know if I can have my shoulder surgery or not. The good new is, i went in right when I felt the lump. I t felt like the size of a peach pit. It now feels like the size of a necterine. It got really big, fast. The meds aren't working and now I just have to wait. and wait. and wait. Enough bitching. I will let you guys know more when I find out if I have anything to worry about.

Kelly

Dear Kelly,

I'm so sorry to hear about your health and insurance problems. You are in my prayers. Somehow it will work out. Take care and try not to worry-easy for me to say. Do try though.

Grandma Mill, where in Florida do you live?

God bless to all,

Joan

Our thoughts, prayers and well wishes r with you Kelly. Hugz n luvs.

Thx to Evelyn, Inn, Kelly and Janice for the good advice and heads up thoughts. I appreciate the input. Big sigh and breathing taking place, cleanse, cleanse, cleanse...renew!

Dhi: that hockey game sounds intriguing...kneenippers are so much fun to watch in sports. Very enthusiastic. Arms/legs akimbo increases the hilarity factor too. I luv it! *grinn*

Katalina
(a triple shot 20 oz. caramel latte day....)

Kelly, I'm just heading out to work and I will keep you in my thoughts throughout the day. Each time I think of you, I will say a prayer that everything will work out okay for you.

Love and care to you,
Mary

Kelly, thinking about you in this early morn.

I couldn't sleep, so I'm typing schedules and lyrics for my show. After all, if all of you chickies are planning to come to see me and my Stud Muffin (and Follies) I want everything to be just right! I just auditioned two new women singers, and they both rock!

Joan, we live in southern Florida, south of Boca Raton, and north of Ft. Lauderdale, in a place called Coconut Creek. The Ft. Lauderdale airport is just 30 minutes from us.

Florida is a casual place, and anything goes in clothing styles...within reason. I own one skirt, and wear slacks all the time. (Just like Kathryn Hepburn.)

Love and Peace,

Mil

Kelly...you're in my thoughts and I'm sending out positive energy your way. I know how those tests can undermine your world.
Last night at dance, we really picked up the pace. I had to lift one girl, then spot one as she turnd sideways with a kick in the air and push her back up, twist one with my right handaround in front of me, then do a lunge with another one, spin her out and back in, then into a tango. My body feels like it was hit by freaking truck. I'm going tohave to start working out,get my arms and legs stronger.
TFM was on VH1 last night. I wanted to watch it, but out of respect for Pauls current situation I decided not too.

peace and love everyone...

can't wait to meet yain Fla. next year. what a blast that's gonna be.

Timmer

Hi Peter hope everything is going well down under for you.

*shudder* Kelly, I'm praying for you here! Anything involving getting CAT scans, among other things, is very close to my heart, as I have been through it before.
Dad's taking my mum to see the doctor tomorrow morning. He hasn't told me what for yet, so I'm really hoping it's nothing bad.
My monitor burnt out on me today, so we had to bring in our older one from downstairs.
Evelyn: I think maybe Creative Writing or Ancient History might do it for me.

Jen

My absence is explained by my participation in community theater. We have our final weekend of "The Boyfriend" this weekend. It's been fun, but the cast hasn't bonded too much. Well, we older people in the cast have, but the teens....

Paul, my heart goes out to you at this time. I know that you know how wonderfully gifted you are, and the next thing is close, even if the corner looks far away.

Tim, It's good to read that you are doing well. Your dance class sounds fun and I think you must be very good, to be able to do the things that you describe. Dancing is good for the soul. And did you say that you were building a tree house? We have one and my daughter has had a big time sitting up in there and just thinking. I have a vision of her and a girlfriend sitting up there with their music and talking for hours. "Keep on Keeping on!"

Millie, I will keep the "Follies" in mind as I plan some activities for 2005. This little burg where I live would love to have the kind of facility that you have for productions. (the high school has a nice auditorium, but they won't let it be used for as long as local theater production would take) If I came, I'd be glad to endure nylons. And even heels! Do we need to contact "Harry Winston" for jewels?

Have a great day!

Mary Ellen,I can't believe that The Boyfriend" is over! My, how time does fly..I remember how excited you were to be part of the show.

I am happy to say that we senior thespians bond each "Follies." I have people with me since 1997, my first "Follies." This will be my fifth coming up, and my challenge is to keep the programs fresh, each time. This one will be very special, if it will be combined with a Paul Convention!

The rehearsals are filled with laughter and friendship, and that's the bonus! We will be meeting on Saturday, scripts and lyrics will be distributed, and some acts that have already been rehearsing, will present a mini show to fire up the troops!

I have already thought about how I could present you, Timmer, in a tap routine. It would be done on the Monday morning matinee,(Febr. 7th, 2005) where our Pcers will be guests, along with hundreds of other friends and family of the cast.
(The evening performances Tuesday and Wednesday nights are ticketed for our community. Our theatre holds 974 people each night.)

All you have to do is bring a tape or the sheet music, for my pianist, bass player, and drummer are professionals and wonderfully talented in what they do. Now, if only Paul and Andrea could come also...

Mary Ellen, bring the Winston jewels..they will add a touch of class to the weekend..jewels are terrific with fancy jeans!

Peace and Love,

Mil

I personally would LOVE to see Tim up on stage. He could represent all of us! Millie, it's a great idea!

Tim, you must be good if you are being given these complicated steps to do. Good luck with the routine!

Evelyn and Katalina, 'being there' for someone is one of the greatest gifts you can give them. It's also an affirming thing for you in that it means the person trusts you enough to be exactly where they are with you. But it is also important to recognise your own needs and as you say, Evelyn, to be careful not to slip into the circle of negative thought along with the person who is trying to get out of it. It's a balancing act but a worthwhile one.

Inn, I'm so happy for you that you are starting to defrost! Here's to lovely warm days for you in the weeks ahead!

Hi Dhiana! It's good to see you back.

Peter, sending good wishes to you, as ever.

Michelle, how are things with you? I've been meaning to ask you, does Michael Newton's second book go into any more detail about recognising the presence of your spirit guide?

Paul, I hope wherever you're at, that you are doing okay and that you feel the love and support of all those you have touched here.

Kelly, you have a lot on your plate at the moment. I'm thinking of you and send you my love and prayers.

Hello to everyone in PC. Lots of love to all of you.

Mary

Dear All,
Just wanted to say how much i loved the site:o). Also i want to leave a message for Paul. Reading about your experiences show what a role model you are for people, no matter which occupation they wish to follow, achievement they wish to accomplish. Never give up, you'll be okay. You have a beautiful family which is something to be very proud of:o). I'm not sure if you read these but you have all the support in England if you come over:o) Hannah

dearest paul,

i think your friends are very lucky to have U coz' U really care and treasure the people, events and things happening in your life to your heart...

Hey Tim,
that dance lift sounded...wonderful!
i bet u looked great doing it too!
*big grinn*

Hugz to all at PC here today/tonight..
i'm up late or early depending on how one looks at it...couldn't sleep so here i am...

any other early birds on?
out here in latteland it's 1:39am
maybe that's why i'm still up...too much caffeine. *chuckle*

Katalina

Het all,

Feeling good today, Had a couple days to injest, process and accept everything going on. I feel good. I talked to my girfriend who is a doctor and she answered all my questions ( as my doctor refused to comment on my condition or answer any of my questions, and all I had was the internet for my answers) she basically told me if it's malignant, what my chances are they are alot better than I thought. I am just going to see what happens. Thanks for all your well wishes and prayers. It means more than you could ever know. THANK YOU *** THANK YOU*** THANK YOU

Kelly

P.S. on my previous post.

My husband is now being supportive. A little TO supportive, maybe not. He just didn't realize it was bad like is is. I think I just kept too much to myself through all this and then didn't say much till they told me it was a tumor. He is taking Wednesday off to go the Ear nose throat doc and then to my pre-surgical physical. I hope they can do at least the needle biopsy Wednesday and then the actuall surgery later. (they say end of April is the soonest they can do surgery).

love to all xoxoxoxoxxo

Kelly,
My friend who had the lump in her throat removed was told it was a "tumor" too, and it WAS, just turned out to be of the goiter(common, easily operated on, not malignant majority of times) variety. SO...hang in there and don't let Fear rule your world til you have more answers.

Hugs to you! Glad the spouse is there for you too. ;-)
Dhiana

Hi Kelly, I too want to wish you the very best and hang in there as best as you can. I know it's tough. Not too long ago, I went through something similar with my sister who was tested for breast cancer and this was the second time around. I found waiting with her for results to come incredibly exhausting, but in the end, it brought us closer and the news was good, i.e. not cancerous. I shall pray for a similar good outcome for you and for lots of strength to endure whatever comes your way in the meantime. If you can, do something fun in the meantime. Don't forget that there's good stuff in life as well. And I'm glad you talked to your husband and that he is there to support you!

Jen, either one of your subjects is fun and just in case no one has told you this, you can combine both of your interests, it doesn't have to be a one or the other type decision.

Dhi, your comment on the pantyhose cracked me up!!! I'm totally with you on that one. What's up with this "requirement" in the US that you have to wear pantyhose when dressing up??? Showing skin is so much sexier and also feels soooooo much better! If it's warm enough in Feb. in FL, definitely no pantyhose for me!!!!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone, hope this finds you happy and relaxed -- and Katalina, I hope you get some sleep.

WOW to the Corner - so much going on!! I have sooo busy with work for the past two weeks, I didn't have any time to check in. I just got dizzy reading all the exciting posts.

Paul, dear heart, what can I say that others have not already expressed? Please know you are in my thoughts and I focus my energy to you. Serendipity will shine on you once more.

Diane...I know this sounds cliché but time is a great healer. As your sadness get less, your memories will be more joyous. I am thinking of you.

Paul, Innussiq, and others troubled with back pain...Those lidicaine patches do wonders. I am in another kind of physical therapy. I have to retrain those muscles and nerves and those patches help the discomfort quite a bit.

Darling Mil...Paul is the soul of the Corner; Cat is the brain; but you, dear one, are the heart!! Yes, count me in for the PM convention! Florida in February - a break from Michigan winter - yes, a definite go. I will put the date in my planner now. Special love to you!

A pleasant evening to all in the Corner,

Linda

Dearest Linda,

Thank you for your lovely words. Your letter provided good ideas on pain management, which would also be beneficial for arthritis.

You have also coined a great new slogan for the Paul Convention...FLORIDA IN FEBRUARY!! FIF, FIF, FIF!

Now, isn't that melodic? It could be stolen by the Democrats or Republicans, as a rally call, but we got it first! (Maybe I should have tee shirts made up for that weekend!)

Evelyn, you don't have to wear pantyhose in Florida where we are. Trust me, in my circle of friends pantyhose are almost passe..it's pants, mostly, because of our age, but you youngsters can wear anything, but in the theatre, no shorts allowed for a stage event.

A good weekend, everyone!

Peace and Love,

Mil

Hope the weekend is good so far for everyone. The weather here today was bright and clear. After the grey days of winter, a real gift!

Linda, you really summed that up well!

Kelly, you remain in my thoughts.

Diane, I hope you are feeling better.

Love to Paul, Peter, Michelle, Mil, Tim, Inn and everyone in the Corner. Wherever you all are, I hope there is harmony and peace of mind.

Mary

Kelly:

My thoughts are with you. The waiting is a bitch but then you know what you need to do and you MOVE on. POSITIVELY.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

HERE'S to FIF..

The timmer

Evelyn: yeah, I know I can combine my subjects, but I figure I could do my own writing in my own time. I think I'd hate having someone giving me some formula or whatever that I'd have to conform to, to do something that I've been doing since I was 8. I'm thinking maybe I could take Mandarin to save myself from further embarrasment next time I go back to China, or maybe Classical Chinese (interesting, but bloody useless in real life) with Ancient History. People have told me that I'm really good at Maths, but I hate it, and there's no way I'm taking that in uni. I don't think I really want to keep doing Indonesian, either.
Why do the subjects that people think I'm good at are the exact same ones that I'd rather do without, or the ones I end up doing really badly in? Maybe I give off the impression that I'm really enthusiastic when really I'm not.

Anyway...

It turns out my mum was just getting a regular checkup on her day off, so I got a bit paranoid over nothing.

Kelly, my prayers are with you! *sends cheering thoughts your way*

And about the pantyhose...I never liked it at all. I cheered when my school introduced winter trousers into the uniform, and wear them loyally every winter to this day, despite the dagginess.
I really, really, really, really, really, wish that I could come along to FIF...I've grown up with the fact that I'm younger than most people around me by at least 10 or 20 years, I think I'd fit right in!

Lots o'love to you all at PC,

Jen

Hi PC,
It's going to snow again tomorrow for a change. Spring is coming though so that's a comforting thought. March 8th is International Women's Day, so happy day ladies!!

Jen: Follow your bliss and take subjects you enjoy. History is my baby, and I made it my minor while picking a major that would afford me a financial income. Don't worry about an age difference. In the larger scheme of things it means nothing!!

Panty hose: It belongs in the catagory of medieval torture devices along with the bra, so you don't have to wear either one Timster!!

Healing thoughts to all who are experiencing physical or emotional discomfort.

Anyone going to FIF coming from the New York area?? I'm not one for traveling alone.

Till next time: Elbows up, head high, and feet moving forward.

J.

Did I miss something? What is FIF? Duh!

Panty hose, dress, thong, I can look good in anything. LOL My daily dress is usually "barn clothes", Jeans, sweatshirt, my favorite tenny's, or knee high rubber boots.

Timmer boy
You sound like you are doing a lot better. I am very happy for you. Keep going, a day at a time.

My thoughts are with everyone else who is in pain or having a bad day. This corner always lifts me up when I have one. I thank all of you for your kindness to everyone here.

Paul
I hope you are moving forward with your life, looking at all the opportunities and options that come your way. Hang in there, we love you and
support you in whatever you do.

I'm off to horse around, literally.

Take care and love to all.
Marge

Hi Miss Marge,
Sounds as if you have a barnyard sexy kinda thing look going on for your bad self. FIF means Florida in February for a PC convention with Gran Mil in Coconut Creek in '05.

Timster: I'd like to see you in Marge's outfit on stage! I'd even pay for the privilege. I guarantee I have a pair of shoes to match anything you may wear. Panty hose & bra are optional. Keep taking your meds, and know how proud of you we are. You, my son, and all who take their meds. are my great heroes.

Till next time PC: Elbows up, head high, and feet moving forward.

J.

Kelly, still hoping the best for you.
I'm a bit flat out these days. I'm taking advantage of the warm days (just a bit above 50 but oh so welcome) to get my yard in basic shape and today I tried something new...I did a brake job on my own car. I hope I did ok, it could be ugly otherwise. A friend of mine who knows these things showed me what to do so we should be cool. Hello to Katalina,Grandma Mil, Timmer, oh and Janice,I'm coming from PA. How are you getting there? PM me if you like. Hi to Paul and the girls and everyone else on the corner!
Inn

Okay, dear chickies, I have added to the FIF to make it clearer...it's now FIFFFAP: "Florida In February For Follies and Paul"...it does has a certain ring to is, doesn't it? Thinking of you Paul...a lot!

I started rehearsals for "Follies" on Saturday. When I told the cast that I am expecting a special group of young men and women to come and see the show, these seniors were absolutely awed!

The rehearsal was full of expectation and laughter. Even though we were running through the scripts and the song and dance routines for the first time, there was reason for levity, for we are on our way, and everyone was on a high!

Today is our 51st wedding anniversary...can't believe how fast the past year went! I've lost 27 pounds so far in this past year, so my Stud Muffin and I will celebrate by going to our favorite romantic restaurant...Boston Market!

A year ago, we were presenting "Follies 2003" during the week of our 50th anniversary, and Whitney came to meet us, to see the show. She took fabulous pictures backstage and in our home.

Later, Evelyn and Whit collaborated on that beautiful website in honor of Ellie and me and "Follies." Thank you still, dear Evelyn and Whit!

Love and Peace,

Mil

Happy 51st year together Grandma Mil and Ellie. I wish you 50 more!!
Love

Happy Golden + 1 Anniversary dearest grandma and grandpa!!! Golden + 1, hmmm, what does that mean? Probably that that which makes your relationship precious as gold sparkles some more--oh were are my sun glasses :) Totally in awe of the two of you and enjoy your day. Hugs and kisses from me and Freyja (aka as little black monster!)

ps. Paul, meant to include that, been thinking about you and your wife and daughters as well. Hope you are doing well and here's a hug for each of you: hug, hug, hug, hug, hug

My dear Millie, I hope you and Ellie have the most wonderful of days as you celebrate 51 years of marriage together!! What an incredible love affair! I wish you both many more years of health and happiness.

Paul, I hope you are doing okay. Thinking of you.

Kelly, along with everyone else here, I am keeping you close in my thoughts and prayers.

Hello to you Michelle. Hope today is a good day for you!

Peter, I miss your insightful observations. I hope all is well with you.

Hi to all the gang in the Corner - Tim, Inn, Whit, Diane, Janice, Marge, Evelyn, Dhiana, Jen, Cara, Julie, Linda, Katalina, Sally, Sally C., Joan, Mary Ellen and all those who have been drawn here. Hope things are good for all of you today.

Love to each and every one of you,
Mary

Grandma,
Congratulations on a marveloous milestone!
(I wonder how many modern marriages will reach 51 years.)

Tim, g'day from down under. I'm pleased to see that your tone has become happier. I hope you will stay that way. Best wishes and good luck.

Mary, I'm too damn busy to have much insight into anything at the moment, except for that which is directly under my nose!
Thankyou for the good wishes.
I trust that you are well.

Cheers to all at PC (too many to list).

Peter

Gran Mil
What a wonderful milestone. We had a news clip here abour a couple who were celebrating their 60th. When asked what was their secret, they replied, that they wrote a love letter to each other every day. Congratulations to you and Stud Muffin. Have a wonderful dinner. I am glad that rehersals have started and look forward to meeting all of them.

Kelly

A good friend: Some on who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

All of you here at PC have touched my heart in some way. Your love you share, your pains, your advice, your compassion. I am proud to have made so many new friends here at PC.

Paul
Wherever you are, keep moving forward, you will be okay. Love and hugs to your family.

I'm off to horse around. Dartin is shedding big time. He is usually the one that hangs on to his winter coat to make sure winter if over. Looks like it is.

Take care

Hi Gran Mil and E. C.:
Congrats on 51 years of wedded whatever. I can't imagine being with the same fella for 51 days. I'd have his bags packed and a taxi running and waiting for him at the curb!!

Enjoy Boston Market and most of all enjoy each other. Many blessings upon you both.

Love,
J.

Auntie Mil and The Stud Muffin...51 years. Good God!!! So tell me Aunt Mil...does it get better with age like wine???? ; )
What a milestone.

Hope everyone is doing well. Postive energy going out to everyone that needs it.

My wife and kids are in Florida at Disney World. So I've been on a house project. I transferred all of my wifes clothes intothe MBR closet and lined them up by type. Put her grandmothers dressing table in the corner and bought a cushion for the little chair. Set it up with pictures, a candle, an antique glass mirror from her great aunt and a vase which I will fill with roses tomorrow. She's been wanting this for some time. I worked my ass off. I've been so mad they left and it's really just I'm lonely as hell. I miss them when they are not here. All the chatter and yelling and laughing and good night kisses and hugs.

Hey Paul..chin up mate. Things will come around.

Anybody see under the tucany sun is that right on the name...GREAT chic flic..to use a cliche, butit was awesome. Made me sit back and think about the things I've always wanted and maybe I've gotten them just in a different form huh?

best wishes and love to everyone.

Here's FIF!!! Can't wait.

On Aunt MIL...that 27 pounds is A W E S O M E.

You go girl.

I just can't wait to meet you. I have a special present for you too. It belonged to my mother and you just the person to have it.

Timmer

Dearest Young People,

You are all totally awesome (as our teenage grandkids would say) and Ellie and I want to thank you for your beautiful messages on our 51 anniversary. Each greeting is filled with such love and sincerity, I could weep...however, it was Janice's note that made me laugh!

One secret to 51 years? At our age (or any age) it's "I love you" every morning and every night, and even in the car, on the way to the supermarket.

Timmer, I know your wife will love all the lovely things you have done for her in the house.
Before you know it, your family will be home, excited to tell you about Florida and Disney World.

I am very touched by your wish to give me something that once belonged to your dear mother. Thank you, it would be an honor to accept it.

Ellie and feel fortunate that those of you who can, plan to come to Florida to meet us (and each other) and to see "Follies 2005".

We will do our best to make your visit enjoyable and memorable!

Love and Peace,

Mil

Wow, Mil, 51 years...CONGRATUMALATIONS!!!

Tim, make the best out of being on your own for awhile, might work wonders. :)

3 more school days til exams, and I haven't done a thing for study. Typical.

Jen

Mil, I would also like to add my good wishes and congratulations to you and Ellie. God love and bless you both.

Tim, don't be mad that your family is at Disney. You're probably more lonely than mad. I know I miss my family terribly when they take their annual trip there. You're right about missing all the noise and hustle and bustle. I'm fine during the day but it's the nights when I miss them most - no goodnight kisses and hugs, like you said. Look at it this way, tho, what a lovely surprise your wife will find when she gets home with the kids - I think you done good!

Inn, I thought I was gifted (LOL)when my husband showed me how to change a tire, but you did your own brakes??? You go, girl!

Janice, I LMAO when I read your post - a taxi? You're too generous... ;o)

Kelly, sending good thoughts and prayers your way.

Peter, good to see you drop in!

Sending good wishes to all of PC.

Take care,
Sally C.

Kelly, just wanted to let you know that you'll be in my thoughts especially tomorrow as you go to the specialist. I hope everything works out for you.

Peter, wishing you sufficient energy for your busyness!

Love to everyone,
Mary

Hi Grandma Mil,

Happy anniversity. Fifty-one years is quite an accomplishment. Since I come from Florida, I am interested to know what city or town you are in. I grew up in Melbourne on the East Coast. I guess at heart I'm just a beach person. I would spend entire summers on the beach between terms.

Take Care,

Joan

Kelly,

You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

God Blesses,

Joan

Happy Anniversary Grandma!
Latte luv,

Katalina

ps wishing everyone at PC a wonderful day/eve
*wink n a grinn*

Dear Joan, Katalina, Sally, and Jen,

Thank you for your best wishes on our anniversary!

Kelly, our love and thoughts go out to you!

Joan, Ellie ("Stud Muffin", as he has been lovingly called on this site) and I live in south Florida, in Coconut Creek, to be exact, south of Boca Raton, and north of Ft. Lauderdale. We're in a large gated retirement community. We have lived here for 13 years.Come on down!

Peace and Love,

Mil

Hey guys, I am out the door on the way to the specialist. Thank you for all your positive thoguhts and prayers. It feels so good to know I have all of you praying and I feel good knowing I have all of your support. I will post later today letting you know what they said. I have my pre-surgical physical this afternoon, and my hubby wants to take me to lunch in between appointments, so I wil talk with you this evening. I love all of you and will consider you all friends for life!

xoxo Kelly

Hey all,

They did a scope up my nose and down my throat, no... it really WAS as glamorous as it sounds. The scheduled me for a fine needle biopsy at the hospital with ultrasound on 3/24. The tumor is very deep and they can't get it with a regular needle. Then depending on what they find, they will schedule another surgery to remove the tumers, as there are more than one, now. They stretch from my right ear and are wrapping around my throat. That is the squeezing feeling I have been having with my throat. My specialist advised me I could go ahead and have my shoulder surgery on Tuesday so I was happy about that. The BAD news. I went for my pre-surgical physical and found out my white blood cells are very high, which means I have an infection in my body I dodn't know about. I have been on strong antibiotics for 3 weeks so they don't know why I would have an infection. Also they think I may have diabeties. I tested high there, too. They drew MORE blood and I will know more for sure on Monday when I go back.
Because my white cells are up, they cancelled my shoulder surgery. They won't reschedule till after my tumor is taken care of. My boss will be thrilled that I am not taking a leave, now. My husband cancelled his vacation time for next week and my emotions are all in a tailwind. My specialist did take alot of time with me explaining things which was GREAT. He is the same guy that put tubes in my son's ears 13 years ago. He's much better now, than when he first started out. He was so "green" I remember. I'm glad I have him, he's good and I feel comfortable with him, After waiting for 2 hours to see him he certainly took his time with us. I appreciated that. I also apreciated my husband sitting with me for 5 hours at the 2 different doctor offices. What a guy. I will let ya all know what they find out in 2 weeks.

Speaking of great guys...........
PAUL,, WHERE ARE YOU ????????????????????

Happy Aniversary Mil!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Joan, Mary, Sally, Marge, Tim and Inn (how'd the break job turn out?)

LOVE TO ALL, AND I DO MEAN LOVE XOXOXOX
Kelly

Kelly
What an experience you are going through!! You sound like you are very upbeat about all this.

Diabetes; I was diagnosed with type II in 1992. It's a bummer, but I am maintaining my blood sugar levels. There are a lot of new options and programs out there for this desease. You might want to ask your doctor for a book called "Diabetes Myths, Misconceptions, and Big Fat Lies" by Kris Swenson, (RN, CDE) and Betty Brachenridge, (MS, RD, CDE) It's a very simple book to read and understand. Not a bunch of clinical hogwash. Ask your doctor if he can get it for you, or check your local book or health stores.

I'm glad you have a very supportive husband. That's a wonderful gift. I have you in my thoughts and prayers.

PAUL WHERE ARE YOU?
What are you doing? We miss your thoughts and wisdom. Do any of your girls dance? What kind of things do they like to do? Do they like to read? Have they read Harry Potter or The Tolken books?

Love to all at PC.
take care
Marge

it's been a long time since i stopped by, and i'm not sure why i did tonight, but i think paul's entry must have been why.

well written. well said.

i hope all of you are well.

here's to family, both born and made.

Kelly...I seriously think that you are a very brave person, and what a great guy you have to support you!

Paul...I think we're starting to worry about you here...are you reading this?

Hoping everyone will have a good Friday and weekend,

Jen!

(1 more school day and I still haven't done anything.)

Hello All,

Long time no me.

First of all I would like to wish Grandma Mil and Elliot a Happy 51st Aniversary! BOth of you are dear to my heart and wonderful friends.

Call you soon!

Julie

Kelly, you are so sweet to be going through all this and think about my brakes. Well, the car keeps stopping so I guess I did right. You keep your chin up. We are here for you and we'll keep the positive energy flowing.
Hello texas, nice to see you again. Big latte love hello to Katalina, how's your life going?
hi to Tim,Janice,Jen,Julie,Marge,Joan,grandma Mil and the rest of the corner.
Paul hope you are well.
Peace

Kelly, as Inn says, we will keep the positive energy flowing for you. I got the children in my class to stop and pray for you yesterday, I told them it was a special request for a friend. I will continue to include you in their prayer-time. I have always found the prayers of children to be very sincere. I am so glad that you have your husband beside you. Stay positive.

I am still in shock after hearing the news this morning of the bombings in Madrid. This day three weeks ago, I was in that beautiful city, staying with a very good friend. I am waiting anxiously to hear that she and her family are safe.

I know this will seem like a very naive question, but it is the only one I can think of at the moment...how can any human being justify carrying out a deed like that in the name of anything? How can the evil of this tragedy and the pain it brings to so many people exist side by side with all the good that people do and bring to this life? I just don't understand. The only thing I know is that we can't allow ourselves to feel helpless in the face of what people may choose to do. We have to keep on believing that nothing is stronger than the bonds of love and friendship that we are lucky enough to have in our lives, even something like this. New York, Madrid, wherever. We're all in this together.

Love and safety to all of you,
Mary

Kelly, I'll be sending many good thoughts and lots of good energy your way. I hope you're taking some time to just be quiet and do nurturing things for yourself. That can help so much when you're going through a stressful time such as this. And don't forget that we're all here for you whenever you need us.

Mil, I'm so sorry I missed your anniversary! I hope it was a wonderful day for you and Elliot. Something tells me that everyday with Elliot is probably wonderful! Are your rehearsals going well?

Tim, I think what you did for your wife is so lovely. Creating a personal space for her is a very romantic gift in my book! You're a very thoughtful man, Tim.

Inn, I am so impressed that you did your own brake job! Very cool!

Marge, your horse is shedding along with my two dogs! It's been horrible lately, a real "vacuum or weave" situation.

Peter, I hope you're not working too hard again. I'm still thinking about your duck!

Mary, I can't begin to understand why people do the horrible things they do to each other. My main concern is that the rest of us don't let ourselves get bogged down in the fear situations like this create. That's when good people seem more likely to make bad choices which then go on to perpetuate the bad energy created in the first place. There's a spiritual element in all of this that people seem to want to ignore, possibly in the name of justice, or security. There are a huge number of people who do not believe as you do when you say, "we're all in this together". I don't think things will get better until more people truly understand that, and live it.

Paul, I hope things are going swimmingly for you in the pool of life!:)

Hello to all the rest of my friends here at Paul's Corner. Here's wishing you all well!

Love and Light,
Michelle

Kelly..I'm in your corner with you. Hoping for the best. I don't really pray that much per se, so let's just say I think of you and wish for positive outcomes.

Hello Texas..it has been awhile since you were here.

Mary..who knows what drives these idiots? Think 9/11. I mean everywhere you turn people are doing crazy shit in the name of some god or man or country and killing innocent people. It's a sick world. One I'm honestly afraid for my children to grow up in but what can you do? And I often wonder if things continue as they are..where will my grandchildren be? HMMM

PAUL..Hey mate don't be out their on a limb without us. We're here for you. Maybe we can't go sit and drink a brewsky with you and tell you everything is going to be all right. But we can listen, and you know we do. God knows everyone has listened to me. My situation fluctuates from low to medium everyday...But I keep thinking that something is going to break in a magnificent way.

You guys will be surprised (probably not) but I'm going to take an acting class at the Woodruff Arts Center in Midtown Atlanta. Haven't done anything like it in years. Would love to make it in a local production. God how fascinating would that be??? You know me...always unpredictable. I guess that is my fun. Making it that way.

Love to you all.

Group hug to everyone, and a special kind and gentle hug to Kelly. If I could hold your hand and squeeze it tight I would.

love and peace

Tim

Isn't it ironic how all that religious conflict is going on, while these religions actually promote tolerance towards your neighbour, same religion or not, even if the religions are fighting over the same holy place and have very similar fundamental beliefs?
Also, I've noticed that the more deeply involved people get with their religion, the more negative and segregated they become, thus completely missing the point of what they "believe"...

Funny ol' world, innit?

Still, I think there's so much good in this world. It's such a shame that people tend to overlook it heaps.

Tim - acting class? Interesting...always fun to pretend to be someone you're not.

Later,

Jen

Hello All!

Kelly, I want to give you my best wishes for a speedy recovery. You'll do fine, before you know it this will pass. I know you'll do fine with the surgery.

Timmer,take the bull by the horns and get out there!

I was reluctant before to share my story of the past two months but I really want to send the message to all those having tough times these days to hang in there.

In the begining of the new year I made it a vow that it would be my best year, take the bull by the horns and finally not feel like a loser in life.

The whole month of february I had suffered from panic attacks and they prevented me from sleeping at night. What brought them on? Absolutely nothing they just came and went and it was so bad at one point I stayed couped up in the house. Finally after seeking some treatment, the second week of March they stopped. It's been a relief and couldn't wait to get back into a normal life again.

Went to see the Sleeping Doctor the other day and she told me that my insurance company wouldn't cover my treatment. I had to shell out $212.00.

Right after the appointment I was backing out of the parking lot and a woman driving like a maniac hit my bumper and yesterday my car insurance company told me that she had the right of way so their going to pay for her damages and it's my premium that's going up.

My husband lost his tooth eating dinner last night (went to the dentist this morning and got a crown so he's ok).

I got terrible ill last night over all the stress worst headache I had in months.

And my mother called me a few hours ago and she's comming for the week-end last minute so I had to clean all morning.

When it rains it pours but I have realized one thing, we all will experience rainy days sometime in our life. As Grandma Millie said to me on the phone yesterday, you got to keep a good attitude and make the most of your life no matter what. And keep an open mind.

That is trully what the journey is about for me.

Julie, I'm sorry to hear that you have been through such a difficult time. Someone close to me has been through the same experience with panic attacks resulting in sleeping problems. I know how hard it must have been for you. I hope things continue to improve for you. Millie is a good friend to have close by in a time like this.
I hope the stress headaches stay far away.

Michelle, it's good to have you back. I missed you! I spent a good bit of time with my younger son tonight, talking about exactly what you said in your post - a resultant fear/lashback and danger of unwise decisions in the aftermath of the tragedy in Madrid. He is at the stage where he is developing his own opinions about everything, and feeling them as if his life depended on it. We very often bounce off each other in discussions, but tonight I just let him talk and express his fear about what kind of world he is going out into. I resisted the urge to try and reassure him that everything would be okay and just let him experience it. He seemed to need to do that. The positive discussion can come later. Tim, I know how you feel about your children heading out into that world too. I don't know...I think all we can do is trust that our children will be given sufficient strength and endurance to deal with their challenges just as, hopefully, we will be in ours. It's difficult though...I was very relieved to get an email from my friend late last night, saying that she and her family were safe. But as she said, the other families, what of them?

Diane, I hope all is well with you.

Kelly, I'm thinking of you especially tonight.

Love to everyone,
Mary

Hello again.

Hey Paul we've hit 100 time for new topic.

Life couldn't be wilder at the Hord house. But if it weren't then I'd be worried. Did I tell everyone I became a "Great uncle" last week? So hard to believe little Bryan is now a dad. Geez.

Don't forget to keep taking your meds for panic attacks. They don't always just goaway with one dose... I KNOW.

Group hug to everone...take care.

Paul..hang in there buddy and give us a shout.

peace and love

Tim

hey paul my name is michele and i am a big fan of yours and i have a question to ask do you like johnny depp do you like music like christina aguilara beyonce knowles or jennifer lopez.

Credit, debt and loan are all different words that boil down to the same thing: borrowing money from someone with a promise to pay it back, usually with interest.  Personal loan allow you to borrow a fixed amount and then pay it back according to a fixed schedule.
