cunningham flies again

[DaSwede]

(This is a rerun of a question I asked a while back in the main category. Didn't get any replies there - could it be that the real buffs dwell in subcategories only? Sorry to be such a pain in the proverbial but I really want that poster - if indeed it exists.)

I used to own a black-and-white photo postcard from a Martha Graham production where dancer Merce Cunningham comes flying through the air in one giant leap. A woman (Graham?) sits at her desk in a jaded pose studying his flight toward her as if she were assessing his flying techniques rather than anticipating his company. Cunningham's body is cram full with energy, he's like a spring just released; looking at the picture you feel he must surely bounce once he lands.

I'd love to have this photo on my wall as a poster but haven't been able to find it. I'm good at advanced googling but search engines do provide different results in different countries - so if you're in the mood for some googling and you don't live in Sweden...

I know what you mean, Woofgang - when I went to see my GP once, I was met by a conscientious locum who went right through my notes - and asked me how my depression was. I explained patiently (so to speak) that I didn't have any...

Warning: Unclean, neti's about!

Don't know about Mr Bl**dy Hashimoto, but this cold's really got me! Red eyes sore nose, raging headache, so am taking it easy today just watching TV and posting on AB.

Levothyroxine Neti 50mcg ..it's just a generic brand thyroid medicament .You got off lightly ..I have to take 125mcg .
Passes Neti the tissues,hot toddy and a mask

Nice day here but it's turned a bit chilly round the nether regions .I shan't be doing any betting on that cruel horserace whatsoever.
Have a nice time at the Fayre Robinia ..you may come across a knitted blanket which could come in handy ....

[DaSwede]

Dawgs, romans, possums... Yeah I know what you mean about doctors Woofy and jno, I worked for many years in an allied health profession and I can only say I don't understand where they come from. I've met some great ones but A LOT of them seriously lack the ability to really "meet" another person. I remember one I met as a patient who was extremely arrogant. Eventually during that visit I gave up all hope of normal communication. When he asked me (after half an hour) if my intestines had ever fallen out, I rather thought that was... you know... the sort of thing I would probably have thought to mention, had it happened! By then I was already so tired of his snotty attitude that I simply couldn't resist saying "Noooo...? No, I'm almost sure I would have remembered that...?" He had a medical student with him in the room who struggled hard not to burst when I said that...

Why can't you chat the barmaid up from Sunday, Vinny...? Is that a new law? This nation is going to the dogs! (Your nation, that is!) Is a buffer not allowed to do anything these days? law, schmaw!

No more body painted trunks Robinia, the AB menfolk are getting just a little too jolly (Hope the animation is working, it's a bit random, ha ha ha!) / I'll keep my fingers crossed for Tarquin restoring your music this weekend.

medical record bloopers Says there that "the rectal examination revealed a normal size thyroid", Neti - what you must have gone through yesterday! Don't know Mr Hashimoto but Shaney sounds confident so you should soon be fine. :-)

Hi all. Neti don'rt sneeze this way we've had enugh lurgy here thanks. Stay in bed with a hot hunk and some ovaltine.
Pups are picking up quickly. They are having boiled rice with tuna fish in it as that is bland food...they love it but because it is mostly water, they eat it by the bucket load which means that i've got the cauldron out simmering non stop. I blew the memory game badly and am tone deaf too so no surprises there.
Its actually a nice day here in hants, chilly but sunny. Too cold for tortoise though so he is back in the spare bedroom with his piglamp.
Have just signed up on the nanowrimo site. November is national novel writers month and you sign up to write 50,000 words of prose during the month of november...I figured what the heck I am retired and can drivel as well as (better than ha!) the next person so why not try.
anyone else intersted have a look here

jno, i don't know where Gp's heads are, truly I don't. DH works for a firm that is very hot on alcohol and substance abuse (not unreasonable, they see it as a safety issue not a moral one) and that comment could have cost him his job.

[netibiza]

Thanks all - am feeling very sorry for myself. Have been in bed watching tv and dozing - oh it was lovely. Back to bed now x

[woofgang]

morning all we have SNOW here! (OK Kit I know you are thinking snow? so what?) the pupsw have been ut running around and eating it and are now flaked out by the radiator.
Hope you are feeling a bit better Neti, mind you being ina nice warm bed and dozing does sound rather nice....
catch youse later....

[Robinia]

morning peeps...yes, we've got snow too....about a foot of it!! I've made a snowman

Frosty

ok, ok, so I may have exaggerated a bit....hehe

[Robinia]

ooh, new puta on it's way.....

[netibiza]

Morning all - have just got out of bedand am going right back. One question, have any of you see "Kingdom"as my sister has sent me the dvds but No 7 is missing, and I want to know who is the father of Petra - anyone know. Thank you. BTW it's sunny outside the window.

[shaneystar2]

Morning chillies
Snow here too ...hope you are all wrapped up warm ..we never found out who the babys father was Neti ..they left us hanging . Beatrice tells Peter in the last episode that he "will totally flip" when he finds out..They are filming a new series . I don't know if it's on later this year or next year.

[Jude123]

Morning Biddies Hope you are all coping ok. It's a lovely day here. I woke up to see snow but the sun has come out and has melted most of it. It's lovely and sparkly now.
kit The 'tone' puzzles. I did them quite quickly but not 100%. I've quite a musical ear so I didn't find them too difficult. By the time I got to the most difficult one I had lost interest, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!
Had a good night last night, I went to see a band which my niece plays the saxophone in. She even sang some numbers and I've never heard her sing on stage before. She's been hiding her light. It was a brilliant night. She is my sister's daughter and my sister was there too. I swear she had a tear in her eye. I think she was thinking her husband should have been there.
Tonight I'm off to a Country and Western night with the 'G'man.
Loved the snow man Robinia but I have to say I did have my suspicions about the size!!
I'm off now to try and get some photos printed off my phone. I have a little photo printer and send them via Blue Tooth if I can remember how to do it. See ya later 'gater(s)!

[jno]

snowed on me too, even though I live not far from Rwanda, but it started melting as soon as day broke, though it kept on snowing anyway. Very pretty, but my snowman didn't amount to much

[DaSwede]

No snow here, dawgs... I'll just save Robinia's little snowman instead, I adore him.

I bought a device similar to this one for sprouting alfalfa and it's working like a charm. Oh l love alfalfa, just had a sandwich with chunky peanutbutter and lots of alfalfa on top, soo good.

Wish I could draw but I can't, but Robinia and Vinny, you two might enjoy iSketch - do you know it? It's like an online, interactive Pictionary where you draw/guess IRT with others who are online at the same time. I tried a few times some years ago but as I can't even draw and honestly I think very slowly... it wasn't for me. But I think the two of you may like it.

for jno's doctor to help him with his diagnostics. <I say, you aren't guilty of a comb over are you, jno...>

Yes Jude we know all about your "musical ear" by now... ;-) Sounds like a wonderful night last night, playing the saxophone is one of my pipe dreams, it's in the same category as being a pirate I think... but at least I've seen Clarence Clemons play one glorious summer evening in Gothenburg; I'll never forget.

BTW this was my own favourite in the national ESC finals.

[VINNY100_2]
