I knew Iola but didn't know it was in Allen Co. I lived in Kansas for ten years. I also knew b.i.d. and wanted twice a day but finally got the word daily.<br /><br />In Wisconsin we have poppie day every Memorial Day. The American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars sell them to raise money. Each organization has a different kind of poppie.<br /><br />HeartRx My sister-in-law had pulmanary fibrosis.

I tried reading the book, but couldn't get into it. I hear the play is much better.<br /><br />There are a lot of places to dance down here! I did the 2-step, swing, cha-cha, waltz, line dance thing for a few years, and did office work for the dance studio while waiting for my current job to become available. In my first week at this job, 2 women came up and said they knew me - they'd seen me out dancing!<br /><br />One of my more regular partners later became president of the local Swing Dance Society.<br /><br />Lemonade, my sister and her husband take ballroom lessons either at Stardust, or a studio across the street. I went with them once. They take an annual dance cruise with a group of people from there too.Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02347232302896024104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-90962148690752352042010-09-15T22:20:23.648-05:002010-09-15T22:20:23.648-05:00WICKED is wicked good.<i> WICKED </i> is wicked good.Lemonade714https://www.blogger.com/profile/13642909374639570868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-64140253862188841512010-09-15T21:47:24.145-05:002010-09-15T21:47:24.145-05:00'Cause I'm a fogy (fogey?) and like the ol...'Cause I'm a fogy (fogey?) and like the old familiar stuff, I agree about Phantom of the Opera.

Barbara and I could do a pretty decent jitterbug. We learned the Texas two-step and had a lot of fun with that and several line dances that we half-way mastered.Bill G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04142837879175561312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-39799231873134697082010-09-15T21:28:10.974-05:002010-09-15T21:28:10.974-05:00CA, I'm with ya'.

Fortunately I am married to a VERY good dancer. The men of our generation are the last of the dancers. It's really too bad that the younger guys don't dance, the girls/women love that. Of course, they don't know how anymore either. We had such fun and danced together for more than 30 years....we still can, but there is no place that plays that style of music anymore. (Boogie, classic rock and roll, swing).

I bet you are a smoothie on the dance floor too. <br /><br />I read a newspaper article a few days ago which described a study that had been done. A group of young men were videotaped dancing alone. The videos were shown to appropriately aged women. The women reported that they found the men who had the most varied "moves" to be the most attractive. (I'm sure the results would change if the men were in their 50's doing their old Saturday Night Fever routines.) I have no idea why, or who sets up these studies. Nevertheless, a man who can musically steer you around the room without squashing your hallux will always be in demand. <br /><br />vettedoe, thanks for the "hallux". It is so nice to be reminded that everything has a name. Yes, it is better.<br /><br />Chickie, our wood scorpion (I have no idea what their scientific name is) looks just the same as its larger relatives. They are about the size of a nickel up to a quarter. They live in wood piles, under rocks and sometime come into the house hidden in the flaps of cardboard cartons. Their bite is painful, but is no more dangerous than a bee sting, unless you have allergies which I don't.<br /><br />With the exception of Phantom of the Opera (I know, I know, everybody else loves it), I can't think of a theater musical that I haven't at least liked.Clear Ayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14463641770718104835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-35218280697230153202010-09-15T18:27:15.225-05:002010-09-15T18:27:15.225-05:00RNA- The problem is no matter how you clue it stil...RNA- The problem is no matter how you clue it still means pretty much nothing to anyone but certain scientists.
