SG, never feel stupid for something you were not aware of. I only recognized the song, not the name. I was in complete ignorance of the entertainer. Ignorant is a good word as it means a person just never had knowledge of something. I am pretty ignorant of E+MCsquared, but it does not mean I am stupid.

OG, thanks. When you're right, you're right. I guess I am ignorant of a lot of things. And I'm really bad about calling myself stupid because of it. My hang up.

SG, I'd bet the farm you are far from stupid. After all you hang around The Clubhouse and that is pretty wise.

OG, has anyone told you lately what a wonderful person you are? I know I'm not stupid but sometimes that durn little negative voice inside me gets the best of me. I wasn't going to say anything but TBO it's been knocking me around pretty badly lately. I still have the bruises. Don't worry though, I have armed myself and am on my way to stuffing it back under the rock it crawled out of. Of course I hang here. I knows good peeps when I sees 'em. Love this place.

I tell you, SG, I was richly blessed the day I stumbled into The Clubhouse. I've had the privelege over the years of meeting about 10 different members and having breakfast with them. We really are good folks here. Count yourself at the top of the list. I like you!

OG, OMG you know how to lift a gal's spirits! I like you too! I need to get up my confidence and at least try to meet up with TNTitanfan, she lives very close by. TN? This place is a blessing. So many nice people, and on a web full of axe murderers, that's rare. I'm already considering myself blessed. and lucky.

((((OG)))) You're simply the best! Thank you. I just got knocked on my fanny by an as yet unknown illness. (fever, hard to breathe, stuffy, fatigue) I can't blame all the depression on that but it probably is why my self esteem and confidence are in the toilet today anyway, I always have trouble when I'm sick. GRRR Probably should just go to bed. Whaddya think, good excuse for a fast food supper?

SG, drive through or get it delivered, don't even consider buying diet food, and enjoy the fast food meal! Saves you the effort of cooking, and you need your rest. I seem to get sick when I'm severely depressed, too. Surprisingly, no bug has grabbed me this month, but I've certainly been at rock-bottom. Oh, geez, OG, I groaned when I clicked the link and read "Shirley Temple," but by golly, my face hurts from smiling through my tears at that clip. "Be Optimistic," indeed. I've never seen that clip, heard that song, or seen that movie, but that was adorable. I bought DD a disc of Shirley Temple classics when she was little; she rarely plays it, though. I think I'll dust it off and give it a whirl when DD comes home from school today.

Sia, they seem to go hand-in-hand for me, when I'm fighting depression it lowers my resistance to illness and being sick just makes me more depressed. Talk about your no-win situations! I didn't got the fast food route last night but I should have. I'd forgotten (duh) that I'd picked up a rotissere chicken at Wal-Mart so I heated that up and just made some quick mac and cheese and green beans to go with it. My fever is a bit lower today and it's easier to breath so hopefully this won't be a long-drawn ordeal, which is actually pretty typical for me the last few years. I'm still debating between Taco Bell and tuna helper for dinner though, lol. I feel so drained.

JUNE HAVOC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_Havoc I was entertained by her many times when I was a teen. For those of you who have never heard of her she was Gypsy Rose Lee's sister.

thx for the trip down memory lane. I'm only in my 40s but i remember seeing Gypsy Rose Lee's biographical movie with Natalie wood?? and wondering how anyone could get on stage to take their clothes off LOL I was probably about 11 or 12yrs old. I dont remember the sister by looks but the name seems familiar. from the wikipedia writeup it sounds like their Mom was a driven woman

No time to find a link right now, but Jaime Escalante, the teacher who was the basis of the James Edward Olmos character in Stand and Deliver, has died of bladder cancer at age 79

The Great, Great Jazz Guitarist Herb Ellis Has Died. Associated Press Herb Ellis, the critically acclaimed jazz guitarist who played with such luminaries as Ella Fitzgerald and was a member once of the celebrated Oscar Peterson Trio, died Sunday, his son said. He was 88. Mitch Ellis, the musician's son, told The New York Times and Los Angeles Times that his father died of complications associated with Alzheimer's disease at his Los Angeles home. Ellis, born in 1921 in Farmersville, Texas, was regarded as one of the finest jazz guitar soloists. He mixed bebop with country twang in a career that spanned six decades. After an early stint playing with big band leader Jimmy Dorsey, Ellis and two Dorsey colleagues formed the Soft Winds trio, whose "Detour Ahead" became a jazz standard, recorded most memorably by Billie Holiday. "As jazz has changed through the years and different styles have developed, Ellis always remained true to the form he played from the beginning," Recording Academy President and CEO Neil Portnow said in a statement. "The jazz world has lost a great musician, and we extend our deepest sympathies to his family, friends and all who enjoyed his work." Ellis attracted the most notoriety performing with the Oscar Peterson Trio for five years from 1953 to 1958 with pianist Peterson and bassist Ray Brown. He later went on to tour and record with Fitzgerald and was a frequent participant in record producer Norman Granz's all-star Jazz at the Philharmonic touring shows. Mr Ellis at work, playing Georgia (On My Mind) : youtube RIP, Herbie.
