My cats do this. They’ll charge to the scene of the least movement and freeze, on high alert. Slowly, the adrenalin subsides, and time passes, and then they’ve fallen asleep. I’ve always wanted to see this happen. My favorite cartoon characters when I was a small boy were Chip and Dale, the Disney chipmunks; they could have pulled this off. I probably was a teenager before the light went on. “Chip ‘n’ Dale! I get it!” Of course, I was just a little kid. I didn’t know anything about elegant furniture. Or male dancers.

Now that we have scared off the less brazen with SEX, we will have big drum roll for the coup de grace’:
Senior citizens and more mature people actually have sex! Sometimes a lot of it. Sometimes we are as frisky as bunny rabbits or squirrels.
And just as squirrelly.

Absolutely, Wayne, that is the one. I ended up watching all the Pinafores I could find on youtube and that is the classic best. The captain and the ingénue both had good voices and it was funny but not to point of slap stick.
By the way, there is light bawdiness in G and S but very mild I think.
Note to Lilyblack, try watching the Houston Opera’s revival of Porgy and Bess by Gershwin, a true American opera. You don’t have to watch a translator and the voices and music are beautiful.
I honestly never liked Porgy and Bess until I saw this one. Not sure if it is on youtube. It went on to Broadway for awhile and I think was on t.v. as well.

I too have been attempting a cleaner diet of late. Something about doing the Tango with the Grim Reaper makes one want to clean up their act and live just a wee tab better.
Grilled herb crusted chicken breast on a bed of Romaine with asparagus tips on the side has become a regular. Last night was my old faithful though: red chili enchiladas. I use ground turkey anymore, rather than shredded or ground beef, along with much less cheese. I still add a fried egg on top – some things just cannot be skimped upon.
The 2% cheeses aren’t bad and you can fry an egg in olive oil, good oil. The eggs really aren’t guilty on cholesterol. The corn tortillas count as fiber and whole grain. You could add some red chilies that are fresh for more fiber and antioxidants.
Add some beans for more fiber and good protein nonanimal.
Mexican or New Mexican isn’t bad for you, nor Tex Mex either if you substitute some.

Good morning, Villagers. Favorite quote about sex is Lord Chesterfield’s :” The pleasure is momentary, the positions ridiculous, and the expense damnable.” Ah, the cost, that’s the worst part.
Ghost, I’ll just have my stars up front with no hors d’oeuvres, please.
Artists cannot publicly portray actual sex, just discrete foreplay, the preliminaries. Or they can portray a situation where you know what’s going on outside the frame. Neither Brooke nor Jimmy cross that boundary. Edda, walking the streets of Paris the morning after with that dreamy smile on her face was a nice touch.
Watch Nicholson and Keaton if you want roll on the floor hilarious sex. It’s funny because you will see yourself. When he got a leg cramp I almost passed out I was laughing so hard.
Jerry, sorry having senior moment. What is movie name? I need some laughs right now and so does the senior cancer patient who is trying to recover in my living room. Love them both!
Love, Jackie Monies
“Something’s Gotta Give” and they also have a new one coming out soon.
I also recommend “Terms of Endearment”. There is an interesting picture of Nicholson online where he is sitting with Vladimir Putin. I can’t imagine how that happened.
“And So it goes” is the movie, with Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton……Jack would not do it for Rob Reiner, says he retired.
Have a happy, happy.
I like Larry McMurtry’s book, but I think I would like the movie Terms of Endearment better if it didn’t have Debra Winger in it. She always makes me break out in a psychic rash. Even in a movie I otherwise like, say, An Officer and a Gentleman.
Jerry, the meeting between Jack and Vladimir took place in 2001. Putin is a big Nicholson fan. “YOU WANT THE TRUTH? YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!” You think they might be brothers?
OK, so now there’s a Bluetooth-enabled meat thermometer and an app that allows you to use your smart phone to check the progress of your grilling meat from 200 feet away. Why is it that I so do not see Arlo getting one of those?
And yes, it’s not that difficult to eat both well and wisely. Like any other project, it just takes a little research, a little preparation, and the gathering of the necessary materials. And most importantly, the decision to undertake it.
Lily, I could say something about how expense can be ameliorated by frequent flyer miles, but again, I will be virtuous and not do so. 😉
Did you know that Warner Bros. had gophers named Mac and Tosh?

I had the same revelation about Pogo. I liked it as a kid, but when I was in my teens, I
figured out there were deeper (but still funny) issues being drawn about.
That’s when I started collecting Pogo books so I could go back and ‘get’ what the strip was really all about! I now have 45 of them plus figurines, cups and a Viewmaster thingy. Oh, and a couple of posters and two original newspaper weekly strips.
Maybe he took Putin to a Lakers game. I think the movie was “urban Cowboy” or Midnight Cowboy” or “The Electric Cowboy” or something like that. I think that Putin had his shirt off.
The discussion about Palmolive reminded me about the popular candy bar Baby Ruth, which was named after Grover Clevelands’s daughter and not after the baseball player.
Here in Detroit, we maintain that Alkaline Batteries were named after the popular Tiger, Al Kaline.:-P
Ghost, there are no discounts that could catch up with those spiraling costs. I had to pay it once, and it was almost beyond my slender means.
One of you wrote that OK has no chipmunks. Most of the state does not, and geographic ranges may have changed since the maps in my 1976 ed. of Burt & Grossenheider, “A field guide to the mammals” [Peterson F.G. Series #5] were last revised [1975]. Tamias striatus, the Eastern Chipmunk occurred along the eastern border from the NE corner to east central border, and Tamias quadrivittatus, the Colorado Chipmunk occurred in the NW tip of the panhandle. I can vouch for the accuracy of the name T. striatus, one of the two chipmunks found in MN, but would have to do a search to see if T. quadrivittatus is still current. There will not be a quiz.
When I was a kld in elementary school, I got a book from SBS (remember them?) titled Why Did They Name It? which told the stories of popular product names. It made for very interesting reading.
On another topic, there was a book titled Very Special People, which I found engrossing, too.
Then you got a very bad deal indeed, Lily. I’m sorry.
Tom, I envy you your Pogo! Mike, my husband had an elderly aunt who was librarian in the Mississippi Delta. He says he went there for a family visit and with nothing else to do he read everything in the library on Pogo and Walt Kelly. He was a young boy but has always read, so that doesn’t surprise me. What is surprising is that Clarksdale, MS would have a large Pogo collection in the 1950’s.
Love, Jackie Monies
A book Mike bought me that I enjoyed was called “Why Stop?”
It cataloged every historic plaque, monument, event on every highway in Texas giving you a summary of what happened and when. Even gave mile markers and location of historic signage.
He said he was tired of having to pull onto side of road so I could read the plaques. Obviously there are others besides me if a book was written to save getting out of car!
Love, Jackie Monies
