Pepper Mostly

Good night, Pounders! Have a great week and watch your eating habit! Love you all!

That's what passes for a park in their neighborhood.

I was a theater major for about five minutes. Alas, I was hampered by a lack of talent. We should absolutely do a theater weekend! Can we meet up in NYC and do a few shows? Houseguest and I are kind of idly planning to do that sometime this fall anyway. Maybe we can expand to add a few Pounders!

I haven't, but I have been to a few things at the Lyric stage, never had a bad experience there. We saw "The Play That Goes Wrong" last fall and died laughing. I saw "Into the Woods" there a few years back and it was very very good.

I have bought so many things at eshakti! I have noticed that they are much slower to ship in the last year or so. I live in terror that they'll be sold or change management and the quality and service will go downhill. I love them so much. I'm a boho/hippie girl and I always find something pretty and unique there.

I would love this above all things!

Here it comes! "I'll show Dr. Now!"

DEAD

Agreed! Plus sizes are a minefield. The fabric and workmanship is usually awful, and the clothes frumpy. I love eshakti.com, you can customize to your measurements and pick length, sleeve, neckline style, the fabrics are good and they're well made and affordable.

Do you mean Actor's Shakespeare Project? I used to work with Paula Plum, years ago, and I dated her brother. The Greater Boston Stage in Stoneham is very good, and the tickets are cheap. Saw "All Is Calm" last winter and we all bawled our eyes out.

No one. No one knew. I'm sure her nearest and dearest are as surprised as we are.

Bingo! There it is. Amber feels like this is Nathan's thing, not hers. She never really wanted to lose weight. Though she did want to snipe at Nathan about his. Wait, rock climbing? No ax throwing bars in this burg?

The local university has an excellent drama department and I've seen some great shows there! AND I'm a senior, so the cheap tickets are even cheaper!

This. I put them with people who say things like "I have a huge heart". I am side eyeing HARD.

I enjoyed Hamilton, but I would have liked it better if the sound quality in the theater had been better. My son and houseguest also knew all the songs well, I didn't. I should have listened to the soundtrack a few times.

And you have to order tickets on Ticketmaster! When I worked at Tufts I was inches from the theater district, so I could just saunter up to the box office and buy tickets, no extra fees, surcharges, service fees.....Now it's impossible. It's infuriating. Oh, see? Amber is a saint. She spends her whole life caring for OTHERS. She is the image of selflessness.

Nathan has to work two jobs, Amber, to keep you in fried chicken and ice cream.

I was going to try for tickets last time it was in Boston, but I forget why I ended up not doing it. I'm definitely going to go next time. Theater tickets cost the earth. its really discouraging. But now that I'm retired I'm squandering my miserable pittance as fast as I can. Goddammit, I'm going to go to shows and have fun! One of my best friends lives in Istanbul. He goes to the opera and symphony performances all the time, its incredibly cheap there. Talk about green with envy.

Into the Woods Grease I'll guess Rent too.

Right? Hell, I was cute then but I am freaking ADORABLE now.

Its his favorite part! He always looks so pleased.

At my graduation, one of my classmates was hugely pregnant. Best part? Her last name was Virgin. Imagine the ripple that ran through the crowd when "Firstname Middlename VIRGIN" was announced, and hugely pregnant classmate hoisted herself onstage.

Oh that's adorable. As if. And Amber would lie in hers anyway.

I went to my fifth, and brought my boyfriend, who was from a different town and didn't know any of the folks from my HS. He had a blast, people would come up to him and be "Hey......" and he'd stick out his hand and go "Hey! It's Steve!" and there would be handshaking and general bonhomie. "Steve! How are you man? Great to see you!" Snerk. I laughed and laughed and got absolutely smashed.

If memory serves, @lemoncake provided us with endless entertainment with her tales of a redneck wedding. She's got stories all right.
