Hi Howard --- this word is getting smaller and smaller! I work with your cousin, Doug Green. I was on Facebook and Doug happened to read that I was friends with you. He called his Dad and confirmed it. Small world!!!! He said very nice things about you! What a nice cousin!
Elaine
I haven't posted lately but just couldn't pass this one up. Howard, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!! And... you know everyone and everyone knows you!!!!!! You are the famous one. So glad we are friends! xo, ie
Howard,
You are truly ubiquitous !!! So happy and proud that we are friends. xo, Pam
I must have missed this--my apologies. But Priscilla was alert, wondering why I hadn't thanked you all....forgive me.
What a coincidence with Doug, Elaine; he's a great guy. One bittersweet story with Doug that I'm sure he'll remember. On the way to Doug's grandmom's memorial service (his grandmom was my aunt, to whom I was very close), my car broke down and I arrived at the chapel in a towtruck. Doug actually drove me to the repair shop after the service.
Thanks for posting. As everyone knows, I try to keep a low profile, but somehow everybody finds me!! And if I miss something, Priscilla is right there at my side!!
Just stopping by to say Hi Howard. I hope your day went smoothly.
Howard, Howard, Howard...you try to keep a low profile...and you arrive at a memorial service in a tow truck??? You know that as your friend I'm really not making fun of you...just looking for the silver lining in life's circumstances. God does have a sense of humor...a trait that He passed along to you!
Hi Howard, I haven't said hi to you for a long, long time! I was off the computer for quite a while after my hubby passed away last April. I was just not interested in it at that time. Didn't even keep up with JLY.....now thats bad. I heard from him at C'mas. and wrote him a note which he answered putting that great stamp of himself on the envelope. Fun!! Thank you to those that have written me e-mails, on the forum, etc. Thanks again Jody for your e-mail back today! I don't know where else to ask this.....so I'm putting it under Howard. Sorry Howard......yes, I'm using you!! Did anyone have trouble getting on to Facebook? They say my e-mail address and password don't coincide? Any suggestions?
Jan
Hi Jan,
Nice to see your post. Did you "set up" your account on the bottom portion of the page first before signing on?
Once you get on, you'll have to put in a friend request to Howard right away.
Linda
Hi Jan and I'm honored you thought of me--thank you. I just can't hide, can I? (only kidding, Lulu).
Tiggerbelle Linda introduced me to Facebook, so she's our resident guru. Please be certain to request her friendship right away too! It's really amazing how much of a chain reaction an entry on Facebook creates. I do a tax return for a Staten Island CEO who is well-known on the Island. A number of local politicans always want his support, and since I'm his "friend", they feel I must be somebody important (pls don't tell the truth) and request my friendship and it goes on from there all the way to the White House (OK....the White House of 40 years ago....Christopher Nixon Cox--the ex-President's grandson--has become a "friend".)
Also heard from a dormitory mate of mine from college, also 40 years ago, who says I "don't look a day older". We haven't been in touch since college, and are going to meet March 27, but I advised him to get a good optician first!!
It's a great way of contacting someone if you don't have his or her e-mail, including most of the JB cast and fans. And you get to see "what they're doing right now." For instance, Chris Jones was putting on his PJ's getting ready for bed, Seb Arcelus was "happy" about something private, and Susan Davison was hosting a "slumber party", to which I did not receive an invitation!!
I can't wait to write on your Wall, Jan, and thank you, Tigger. Perhaps Barack could create a cabinet post of Secretary of Facebook Friendship for the Tig (not to worry--her taxes are up-to-date) so that she could make all the Republicans "friends" with all the Democrats and we could all move on with the business at hand!!
Jan, don't be embarassed by your questions. I signed up & then didn't know how to log on or respond to "Friend" requests for two week! My 16 year old nephew talked me thru it, but I still don't really understand it all. It is a nice way to reconnect with friends...so maybe I'll see on on Facebook soon! Sounds like Linda may indeed be a guru!
"...Susan Davison was hosting a "slumber party", to which I did not receive an invitation!!"
Don't take it personal, Howard. She probably just didn't have room for a tow truck in her driveway.
Thanks for your comments, Howard.....and all the others who helped. I am now on Facebook as of a couple hours ago! Yippi!!! A friend was here and helped me. We couldn't figure out what was wrong - then all of a sudden I was on. Don't ask me how -it was complicated, but we did it!! Now I have to play with it and figure everything out!
Jan
Linda also told me to join Facebook. I don't post much, but do visit the site almost as much as the Jersey Boys Blog. There are still some things I don't quite get yet as well.
I hear you Beverley. I've been on Facebook all afternoon just to learn more about it. I have to get off soon tho.......can't miss Idol!:)
Jan
Jan, I received your application for Facebook friendship, and I'm happy to tell you that after consulting Suze Orman, "You've Been Approved!". It is Facebook, though, so I'm anxious to see your face!
Next, when may you and I "twitter" each other??
Howard, I just managed to get on Facebook.......now you want me to "twitter"?!! - ha! How about when I learn more about it. :) I will get a picture up soon, after I learn how. It may not be my face at first (I don't want to dazzle you with my beauty) hee, ha, ho!! Yes, I live on fantasy island! Especially since my husband's passing. I miss him! I need to have a friend take a picture of me on her digital, which I gave her for c'mas. She loves it!...or maybe I can dig one up. Oh me....so much to do, so little time!
Jan
Where have you been, Howard?
Jan, you know Howard...he's probably traveling incognito somewhere on an exciting accounting adventure. He'll show up here sooner or later and have an intriguing story to tell us how he met someone famous or saw JB in a foreign country! (That little story should drag him out of hiding! Heh, heh, heh!)
Yep, I agree Lulu! We shall wait with wild anticipation! :)
Like Irene, I just cannot pass this one up - even though I have not posted in ages.
Howard it is always so good to see you at the JB gatherings in NYC before a show.
I very much look forward to seeing you at the next one,
David
Wow, this really put a smile on my face. Lulu, I still haven't mastered traveling "incognito". Back in Feb. one of the August Wilson ushers recognized me from inside a store in NYC as I was walking outside on a freezing cold day...told me he recognized the "body shape".... So if you're gonna teach me to become invisible, you got your work cut out for you, Lu!!
I did meet a very famous person in the last week....Irene. (OK, famous in certain circles now, but soon to become a household name when Angel and Stubbleyou write their long-awaited follow-up to "Irene Baby".)
David B, next appearance will be at "Next to Normal" with a whole bunch o' great fans on the evening of April 18--Priscilla, Gary, Pam, Lori, Carolyn & family, Wanda, et al. to support Bobby Spencer in a great performance. We haven't decided on a get-together before the show, but I imagine we might. I know Gary likes the Cosmic Diner...only kidding, Gar..IT'S A JOKE!! I think discount tix for N2N might still be available.
Please check out http://www.talkinbroadway.com. The initial comments on N2N are terrific ("tony nominations", "nothing like it on Broadway"). I saw the show in Washington in Dec. with Priscilla, Pam, Jana, Susie, and Dale, and I imagine the Broadway version is pretty close. Bobby e-mailed that the audience went ballistic at the first night of previews last night. So happy for him.
Aha, I knew you'd show up and have a good story, too! :)
Howards back and he didn't even say hello to Jan. I'm deeply hurt!! Not really, Howard......I just wanted to harass you a bit!!
You are always on my mind, Jan. After all, you and Dean had one of my favorite songs of all time "Surf City!" Take care and hope to see you soon.
Hi Howard - Have been off the computer for a couple of days. Wow, Jan and Dean......fond memories! I got my pic. up on facebook, as you requested! I'm not so sure I like having it there........I think I'd rather remain mysterious!! :)
