  1. Merman concerning Mary Martin, "She's ok if you like talent."
  2. People who die Young, especially in war, often leave parents and girlfriends behind. I am not sure they are thinking of the great beyond when near death.
  3. Doctor Sulkin was the Veterans Administration Director until recently. He just appeared on CNN discussing the risk of veterans during this novel coronavirus pandemic. That is one of many reasons to watch CNN, especially for vets and those who are concerned about vets.
  4. Fox News has Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and several part-time loonies. Enough said.
  5. Jonathan left Premier in 2000 to escort on his own Great guy in every way.
  6. I have liked Nathan Lane in every musical and play I have seen him. Merman was and Lane is bigger than life on stage.
  7. CNN is not "hysterical," like Fox News. It is time to stop reading when someone writes "those of us" at least for me.
  8. I agree. Amazing ?
  9. The player's union will ultimately approve an updated version of the plan so almost everyone can boo the Astros
  10. My mom was in a nursing home in Philadelphia until the end of her life. I was prepared to interfere, but I had been a consultant to the Philadelphia Corporate for Aging. Folks have different backgrounds, I believe.
  11. In many cases, close relatives have jobs they can't afford to give up for their families. I am one of oldest members here, but there came a time when my grandma couldn't stay at home with us any longer (in 1948). My mother visited almost every day in the nursings home. And my mom was the youngest of eight children. I don't remember *any feeling of dishonor," rather different cultures.
  12. I am not surprised. Nursing home are trying to do their best, I assume. But, of course, they often fall short.
  13. That sounds fairly complicated at a time where so many people are so concerned about contacting novel coronavirus.
  14. You are assuming the family has as much experience as you or me. Not everyone is socially knowledgeable to "put on their big pants." You must know that from your volunteer work
  15. Exactly. There are no easy answers given the patient in question may have been exposed to novel coronavirus in her current nursing home. So moving to another nursing home is a problem, a big problem.
  16. May not be a easy task during a pandemic, especially if the current facility is in rural area with few other options. And possible transportation issues for the family.
  17. Well, we are "lucky" to have a new vaccine chief starting today.
  18. Looking forward to baseball, basketball and tennis College football may not be back for a very long time

    "Werther"

    I saw that performance at the Met, not in a local theater. Hey it was Kauffmann. Glad to have seen in person.
  20. Why not!
  21. "Warhol" A new biography by Blake Gopnik "John Lennon and I once hide from Andy at the Sherry Netherlands Hotel. I wish I knew him better " Elton John
  22. Ok. If it was Phillippe, he would have found a way to show his bare butt again and again.
