darlene Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Michelle, there are no nurses in short little dresses. That's why men invented them and put them in porn videos. But what you are doing is so valuable to your patients. It's a thankless, miserable job, but if you weren't there to comfort them, many of them would just be desolate, because I saw so many who don't have any families to come visit, or their families don't care enough to come.Don't worry about publishing--you have been published and you can get published anytime. Being a prof is also very important. As a writer, you can sometime use all that pent-up frustration to write something really great. I know you will, when you find the time. --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Tony--You're going to have to fly solo as I worked all weekend. Dude, you missed the part in the movie because of excess body hair? And all this time I thought you were running around in a gorilla suit! Any chance of getting you back into that sandwich board again? Kirk.

Tony Cartmill Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Kirk, Mel said he was going to give me the part, but he just couldn't find any extra cash in his 25 million budget to pay for my 24 hour personal groomer. Those electric pet clippers don't grow on trees you know. Ok, one grew on that Judas hanging tree, but I wasn't gonna use it...No way!

JoAnne Marie Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Well again Eric snubs the message board because there are too many frickin weirdo's around. I know that if I were a celebrity, so to speak, I would think twice about who I would apply to or speak to, for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seattlesteve Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 This board represents a great communication tool, and I wouldn't leap to the wordw "snub" because Eric doesn't personally post.I know he reads it so it's a great way to stay connected to his fans. Imagine if an Eric Carmen board didn't exist anywhere how much further removed he, or anyone would be.The Ask Eric feature is a great way for him to respond in detail to the most popular and/or interesting questions.Over time responding to all individual posters can also become pretty repetitive. ("Hey Eric, I'm new to the site, are the Raspberries getting together ever again")I'm sure the dialogue on the board has in some way even impacted the book coming out.The board, as is, is the best thing out there and sure beats the alternative.Seattle Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostControl Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Still, ya gotta admit, it would be nice to hear every now and then that he knows we're here, and knows what we are thinking and saying.I know a lot of famous musicians have web sites where they talk about their lives, what's coming up, etc. Even if Eric had a 'blog' where he talked about what's new in his life. He wouldn't have to respond to questions - but we'd still know what's going on, if he's ever going to write any new music, etc. Get an inside look into his mind. If Fred Durst can do it, can't Eric?Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlene Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Well, even though he's a celebrity, Eric IS human. I'm sure he has his reasons for not interacting with us on the message board, and i think he's entitled to make that decision. One thing's for sure, all our speculation isn't going to come up with the answer. Let's just continue having a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Maybe trashing Eric about his lack of participation IS our idea of having a good time.Let's see...Eric, You are so out of touch, you'd probably let Michael Jackson babysit your kids.(rimshot)Eric, You are so out of touch, you'd probably go target shooting with Phil Spector. (bada-bing)Thank you, thank you...I'll be here all week...Don't forget to tip your waitress... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlene Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 You're so easily amused, Tony! But, I have to admit, you do make me laugh. (No, not AT you, WITH you) You've got a great sense of humor. And, doesn't every message board need "sandpaper" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I wouldn't call all of Eric's communications to us through Bernie snubbing the message board. That's a much more fair way to do it than responding to every little crack and comment. As wonderful as we all are, the board gets too banal and trite for all of us, let alone Eric. I think he's doing just fine...and I like to think that he's spending his time writing music instead of posting on the message board. --Lemonade Girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 And I'd like to believe Santa Claus is real too..."I'm just a Lemonade Girl, Living in a Lemonade World. Where life is so sweet, Along with everyone I meet. And Osama just needs a big hug and a cool drink..."That song has posibilities... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Oh, Cartmill, my Cartmill! A jug of lemonade, a loaf of bread, and Thou...Read my thoughts on WD--it's not all lemonade from me this time. I just get impatient because our favorite artist has so much to give. But, while I'm marking time waiting, I can still bust your chops... --D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
