She's 91, it seems.<br /><br />Now, I mostly don't care for soprano singers, even though I used to be one when I was a kid (I outgrew it.).<br /><br />However, the good ones are really good. Miss Durbin sings like an angel.<br /><br />Alistair MacLain, in his novel "HMS Ulysses", mentioned that British sailors, when about to be engaged in a hopeless fight to the death, unanimously chose Miss Durbin to sing to them from the phonograph.<br /><br />Having heard her sing in a videotape of one of her movies, I can understand how they thought so. <br /><br />I can see how having her sing to you might take a bit of the sting out of Horrible Screaming Death.Justthisguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277333206171756636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-24773238184708360432013-03-13T02:42:09.487-04:002013-03-13T02:42:09.487-04:00Hey, Ma'am!

She had to have both boobies amputated for cancer, and therefore bought some brassieres with fake titties in them.<br /><br />Supposedly, an admirer and would-be biographer rang her doorbell one day. She yelled from inside, "Is this a business visit, or a social one?"<br /><br />"Social." he said.<br /><br />"Ok,", she said. "Give me a minute or so to to put my tits on, and I'll be right with you."Justthisguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277333206171756636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-12224305971276069062013-03-12T14:11:18.571-04:002013-03-12T14:11:18.571-04:00Glad to hear it's done, now just concentrate o...Glad to hear it's done, now just concentrate on getting better.Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258825059275756221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-83388424196393733632013-03-08T17:04:52.561-05:002013-03-08T17:04:52.561-05:00Hurry up and get well, now!

Being of Norwegian heritage and growing up under the hot Texas sun prepped the skin on my face and head for dermatological adventures in later life. Just remember sun screen and a hat when outdoors and you will keep the stuff at bay. I also found that a few wee drams of a good single malt scotch helps dramatically with post surgical pain management. <br />Best wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery. <br /><br />Fred GFred Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-47419299935951668722013-03-08T10:11:01.188-05:002013-03-08T10:11:01.188-05:00Breathing now.
