I always felt the best part of waking up was Folgers in your cup. Clearly, we have a diverse morning crowd here.

Are they retiring AND pulling from their escort 401k plan? I mean, the penalties alone...

They exist. I can name at least four who live in rentals on the park, just above the treetops. We're talking $12-15k/mo minimum for that view. I don't understand dumping that kind of monthly income on something you don't own, but to each their own. As a property owner, I wrestled with the idea of renting out two homes in very desirable vacation spots. Ultimately, I knew I'd be a terrible landlord, so I now take a profit loss but sleep a lot better at night. EDIT: I was genuinely curious as to what one of them paid in rent, living on CPW, so I called him this evening and asked. I suspect there's some third-party help in there somewhere, but the number I was given was a staggering $20k/mo. Yikes.

She'll always be Rona Lisa Peretti to me... And she sang that show beautifully

Those 15 minutes are tick-tocking away. Nearly time for pizza.

I hate seeing talented performers in total crap: Lisa Howard deserves better than this, but a job is a job... I get that. Having spent a ton of time in Key West, I too have steered clear of JB's music and fandom. To the conchs, he's a poacher and quite the jerk. I don't have a lot of respect for the guy. This kind of show is the new normal for Broadway. I'm just happy to see theatre goers able to wash this (dis)taste out of their mouth with previews of My Fair Lady at Lincoln Center.

This is speculation. If he drops his rates, you have a clue as to his popularity. If not, consider his audience found.

United went to shit when they merged with CO. It also didn't help that they let go the best management from Continental in the process. American is going downhill quickly.: Their CEO is a holdover from US Airways who's turning the legacy carrier into a discount joke. Delta is stepping it up. Agreed totally. I hope they continue to offer more than their competitors.

Well, you did take the time to call me out on this thread. And that's fine. What floats my boat is being able to openly express my opinion on this board... And I do. Instead of this idle back and forth, tell me why it's your favorite show.

I called myself out for not being a fan: I didn't call people out for liking it. Big difference. It's called having an opinion and we're all entitled to one.

Just stick to a program, eat mindfully, drink a ton of water and be as active as you can be. There's no quick fix for getting healthier. It's not just a lifestyle change, but a change in the mentality of why and how we eat. Most people have very unhealthy relationships with food.

That is the God's honest truth

Google provides a plethora of info, including relief effort when people are in great times of need

No, Caven would not. They have too much to lose to get into the crosshairs of city politics.

Now that I think about it, fucking Bozo might be kind of fun...

An incredibly astute explanation! I love reading things like this from people who are clearly well-read or teachers/experts in their field

He replaced a very sick David Carroll not long after the show opened. Carroll was actually recording the cast album when he collapsed and died. Very sad story.

So, you have a thing for red noses and big, floppy shoes?

I mentioned this on Twitter, but Keala Settle really needs to stop singing This Is Me for awhile. She's ruining her voice and clearly, the media blitz they've put her through for awards season has done a number on her vocals. She's a great performer. I'd hate to see her ruin her instrument.

That doesn't necessarily make me old: I had parents who took me to Broadway shows from the time I was 7 Grand Hotel was 1990. While I don't remember a ton about that OBC, I do remember the very memorable performance of Barrett.

Does it make me a 'bad gay' that I can't ever sit through more than 5 minutes of any Drag Race show?

Reading this made me remember the brilliant performance that Brent Barrett gave in the original run

This. You keep on hitting the mark. Very nicely stated
