Shakespeare Settings and Costumes
Emily in IL replied to Jean in Newcastle's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
We've seen Macbeth done in post industrialized world, all in black, leather and scaffolding for the set, black lights.....Midsummer's Night Dream as a merger of two corporations set in the business world/cell phones and all of Puck's lines done in rap, and last year The Tempest with costumes from "steampunk" design.....our friends that attended were very much distracted by the costumes and had a hard time enjoying/following the story line. The changing of scenarios I think is creative but yes it can be distracting also, we usually read the play before seeing it performed so that my kiddos can discuss themes and familiarize themselves with characters. -

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2188718/Good-lord-star-crossed-lovers-propose-Tardis-inspired-engagement-ring.html had to look up what exactly a Tardis was ( never watched Dr Who) but I thought the ring was lovely, the price tag not so much 8D I'm usually not one for jewelry and accessories.

Care-takers at hospitals?
Emily in IL replied to Slipper's topic in General Education Discussion Board
might try calling local college/community college and see if they have a board that you can post in the nursing dept....final year students may be looking for a job or a part time one, local hospital - some cna's moonlight as caregivers, or a local home health agency. HTH Emily in IL -

Dogs drinking from toilet
Emily in IL replied to rwjx2khsmj's topic in General Education Discussion Board
how about a brick in the bowl, too heavy to dump, we have the same trouble with our 7 month lab, last one not an issue -she was a runt, this one's a moose. That and the water bowl is a ceramic heavy one, not the metal kind - too easily flipped HTH emily -
2 problems with eye makeup
Emily in IL replied to SeekingSimplicity's topic in General Education Discussion Board
i've found a mascara from Loreal - double extend/beauty tubes, it's a conditioner on one end and a tubular type mascara on the other end (red & white packaging), it coats each lash with a tube, doesn't come off with eye makeup remover,,,,,but just plain old warm water - it comes off literally in tubes, no flakes, i wear it for over 12 hours with a midnight shift and through exercise and no flaking or smudging, love it sorry no help on the liner. hth emily in il
