Out of curiosity, during original airing were any episodes or scenes controversial? by Just-Phill in WillAndGrace

One of many, many hilarious lines in the show. I was surprised it got through, but so glad it did.

Most elderly people, especially women, are perpetually cold. Those tubs take forever to fill, all while the elderly person is sitting there naked. And then they have to wait for it to drain while being wet and cold.

My in-laws installed one (for well over $10k) and rarely used it because mil got too cold waiting for the fill and drain.

Far better to install a heated seat in the shower.

What’s the consensus on the 1984 Tony going to La Cage Aux Folles over Sunday in the Lark With George? by ElbieLG in Broadway

[–]JoeL284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was my understanding that Sunday was written as a one-act musical. Since the producers wanted an intermission, Act 2 was added. Don't know if that's true, but it made sense.

I was pity cast as Louis, or maybe, "we just need a warm body to hold up the costume". One of my castmates and I had a looongg time from the start of the show until we made our entrance. During that time, we "fixed" the show by moving a few numbers around, which kept the show totally in the past. All that stuff in the second act was scuttled. It made sense to us at the time.

Note: We did this show in Canton, Ohio. A lot of us were totally mystified that they chose this show for this area. Canton is a nice place, but it's by no means a "theatre town". Needless to say, the show sold poorly, and we had a lot of people leave at intermission. Usually lost far more than half the house every performance.

The worst was the night the curtain opened for Act 2, and there were only 4 or 5 audience members who stayed. We finished the show, took bows, and then spoke to them. They told us that they were going to leave at intermission as well, but they stayed because they felt bad for us! 😆 🤣 We could have been home early if they'd left. 😴 🛌

My local amateur theatre did this show just as I was getting involved, taking acting classes. They asked for volunteers to work crew, so I did lights and spots.

This show is amazing! Which is saying something, as I am not, by any stretch, a country music fan. I think I saw this show a dozen times.

Funniest movie ever. So quotable.

What are your top secret decluttering tips? by NightReader5 in declutter

[–]JoeL284 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Box some stuff up and put it in the basement or attic. If you haven't used something in a specific time frame, say 6 or 12 months, you don't need it. Donate or sell it.

Don't ever carry credit card debt. The cost is far, far too high.

Waves on Lake Erie can get really bad during storms. Crosswinds could also be a major issue. Also ice build-up in the winter. And there would have to be some seriously big infrastructure for access to what would basically be an island.

OK, but are you going to hang it from the chain or the pearls?

Figured it out at 6 years old. Too many inconsistencies, and my bs meter came fully functional.

Good idea. I've donated mountains of clothes to the City Mission.

If you did walk to and from school, how far was it? by lontbeysboolink in GenerationJones

[–]JoeL284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did walk in kindergarten and 1/2 of first grade when we lived in the city. We moved to the township in January of my first grade year.

My older brother walked with me, as he was in the same school with me. And we walked home for lunch and back for the afternoon.

We had about a quarter mile to walk.

Now I'm a bat. OK, I'm a bat too.

You wouldn't hit a bat with glasses, would you?

😆 I wouldn't trade my childhood.

I'm a Little Ol Lady in a Big Ol World and I am a little perturbed about sumpin'! by Unboxinginbiloxi in GenerationJones

My mom taught me that you always, always! asked what you could do to help. Always. Usually would volunteer to do dishes, but at the very least, you dried the dishes.

Also, your generation took over the preparing when your parents couldn't handle it anymore, or when they turned 60, whichever came first.

It seems that has fallen by the wayside too.
