In the 6th grade I had a Health Textbook that featured as story about Helen Keller and a picture of Helen with her hands on the lips of her teacher Annie Sullivan. Someone who had the book before me had drawn comic strip balloon for them, Helen says; "You have very smooth skin." Annie says: "My mother was a lesbian."

this reminds me of a card I sent all my female friends a few years ago for Halloween.

Here is what it said....


Outside:  It's Halloween!  If something big and scary and monsterous chases you around all day, don't be afraid.....

Inside:  It's just your butt!



 

I got sooooo many piss off phonecalls after that card was received.......

Reminds me of a birthday card I sent a friend a few years ago. There was a picture of a birthday cake placed on a toilet seat, and the text went something like, "Why is having too many birthdays like having too many beers?" "Because in both cases you could fall and break something in a horrible bathroom accident."

The image you shared here, Truman, of Helen and Annie is so beautiful...in fact, I don't believe I have seen it before.

Helen Keller is such a gentle, beautiful soul...one of my true heroes. She expressed herself with such exquisite sensitivity, all the more remarkable from arising out of such deprivation. She wrote of how death did not separate herself ever from her loved ones--all she had to do was turn her thoughts to them, and she could feel their living presence in her world. We could all still learn so much from this remarkable woman who was a great teacher in her own right.

That is very interesting owing to how she preceived the world, being deaf and blind her other senses would attempt to compensate.

I've been fortunate to see several movies lately. The other night I saw the 1970s version of Murder on the Orient Express, featuring Jacqueline Bissett, who many years later protrayed Lila in Latter Days. That inspector Poirot is a real onion pealer.

But one I feel I really must recomment as a must see is the 1958 classic Vertigo, starring Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak. If you are enamoured with San Francisco as I am you will love this glimps into the era of big cars and plenty of parking places, and the story will have you guessinging right to the end. It holds up very well  after 50 years.
It is a Hitchcock masterpiece. See if you can spot him.

How come nobody ever told me Jacqueline Bisset is in Latter Days? I love Jacqueline Bisset!

Sorry!
I didn't know who she was.
I recognize the name but thats it.
Was she the restraunteur?

[loneleeb3]

Yep Richard, that was her.  I loved it when she told the Mormon boy, So your religion doesn't allow drinking and it doesn't like homosexuals.  Well, I'm definitely not joining.    

That was a classic line!
What a great movie!
