Celeb sighting, NYC

I held the door open for him.
Peter Dinklage (from Station Agent) walking in West Village in
Manhattan. Very charismatic looking.
nimue
Aaaah! I have seen Peter Dinklage in the West Village, too. Right by
Cornelia and Bleeker. I wanted to ask him for his autograph so badly (now
THERE would be an autograph worth having), but I fought the urge and let him
live his normal life. I've never seen Alan Rickman in the flesh, and that
may be a good thing. I am not sure if I could have resisted the urges that
might overcome me at that (would he appreciate a drooling, mewling school
teacher grovelling on the floor in front of him, saying, "I love you, I love
you!"? I think not ;-)

Go see the Station Agent. Prepare to be awed.

You could have been watching him every week on the recently cancelled

Different strokes. I was going to post how awful and scary his voice is.

Nimue, I almost wanted to turn around and catch up with him to say the
same thing but didn't. I hear ya!
You never know, Alan may have loooooved it! ;-)

It certainly is distinctive.

Don't know about that show but the Station Agent was an AMAZING movie
and he was fabulous in it.

Wow! You are the FIRST person I've ever heard say that. In fact, everyone
says the opposite. I think he has one of the best male voices in show biz.
Patricia Arquette has the best female voice, fwiw. Have you ever seen Alan
Rickman in Sense and Sensibility? See it -- you might have a change of
heart. Actually, if you haven't seen it -- rent it now. It's WONDRFUL!

His looks and voice creep me out. He sounds like he has done steroids.
They have really odd voices. It is really evident in women who have done
steroids too. Either that or he sounds like he has something in his throat.

Steroids? I know many people on steroids (including my daughter, as one of
her anti-rejection drugs) and none of them have had vocal changes.

I do not mean that kind. I mean the kind that body builders use. Anabolic
steroids, when they are abused.
I hope your daughter is doing well.

I can't think of voice changes with steroids, either, but maybe I just don't

It is listed as a side effect for anabolic steroids, i.e.,voice change.. Do
a google search of the key words.
Listen to a woman bodybuilder talk. It is more evident in a female voice.
Think Chyna.
Kris Baker
She is, thanks....although she jokes that she could be a body-builder ;)
They all have some of the same effects. Darn it.

Anti-rejection stereoids CAN change characteristics. My husband has
been on Prednisone and Prograf for about ten years now for his kidney
transplant. He went from straight, shiny, flowing blonde hair to
coarse, thick brownish-reddish colored hair in a matter of a few
months. His face has also changed from thin and chiseled to round and
slightly plump. But he's still gorgeous regardless. ;-)

I always thought the changes would be more acceptable to a man, than
a (young) woman. My daughter (7-1/2 years post-transplant) has to
de-fuzz her arms, or else she's afraid she'll look like a truck
driver....and
those little furry sideburns get kinda cute at times, too.
I'm noticing Steven Cojocaru (sp?) and how chubby his face is. Gee,
that didn't happen the first time, did it? I wonder if he lost the first
graft because vanity took over?

It would severely be to his disadvantage if he did. When he went on
them while still in the hospital his fat started to redistribute to odd
places. One day he got up and looked in the mirror and saw that his
hips had become child-bearing. His face had about three chins but that
has since gone down to just the permanent "moon face".

Is your daughter also on Prednisone?

My husband is on his second kidney failure since 1996 and has dialysis
done three days a week, four hours at a time. It has really taken its
toll on his body. I've watched the procedure and am just amazed how he
could do this twelve hours a week. The doctors told me that I can be
trained in using the dialysis machine if he chooses to do it at home. I
told him just give me the word and I'll do it. Anything it takes to
make it easier on him.

Can he do peritoneal? My daughter was on hemo like that, and
hated it. The peritoneal was gentler, didn't sap her strength, and
allowed her to even go to work (which she didn't feel like when
on hemo). Also, Medicare paid 100% of the costs and the
supplies were delivered for free.
Kris
rjr...@aol.com
He had that option the first time and chose hemo. He's just the type
that he's afraid of the unknown so he's sticking to what he knows. He
does realize that peritoneal would probably be better, but he's just
afraid of it I'm sure. He still works at his job as a Foreman (we work
together) and goes in after he clocks out every other day. I don't see
how he does it. His job is very physical.

I don't see how, either, knowing that hemo pretty much gives you
back serum instead of blood. I know, peritoneal sounds "icky"
with the tube in your abdomen.....but if a 22-year-old (vain) girl
thinks it's better and less scary......;)
Kris

rjr...@aol.com
I will tell him about that the back serum if he doesn't already know
that. Maybe that will be another incentive to get him to switch. Thank
you.

That's what my daughter called it: serum. Just a red fluid, rather
than the lusty blood she was used to. That's why she was so tired
*after* the hemo -- they take so much out of the blood. Unless the
doctors have decided that hemo is best for your husband, maybe he should
talk to some peritoneal users.

(Now here's where I might get shat upon.) One of the aspects I appreciate in
this froup is the tangents it sometimes takes, generally to do with health,
with pets, and with loss. It's damn' healthy and it is a very human element
that we occasionally share.
Can we remember to preface the sidebar thread with an "O/T"?
