Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 10, 2011

Don’t disappear!

Did you know there used to be a psychic in Marin County, CA who could channel Barbie?

Agreed, Flight Suit.

Did the psychics disappear? How come they didn’t warn me that my manly Lion was to become a disease? Like they didn’t see it coming?

I remember an interview with Ross Martin where he commented that by the end of the series Conrad had convinced him to perform some of his own stunts, and in turn he convinced Conrad to do some of his own acting. I want to say it was on Fresh Air but I could be wrong about that.

Very sad even without the context (and the context just makes it worse). Makes me think of things that make me never want to let my children out of my sight.

Here’s to standing up and speaking out. I really appreciate what you’ve done with this series.

Teresa, you’ve created a hardcore group that values you to such an extent that you could say it depends on you. So, like Flight Suit says, Don’t disappear! Okay? (And for every habitual commenter, you can assume there are at least 25 people who read but never comment.)

Also, I like what you did with the boldness of the typeface.

pronounced “dis pa here”… in our house, ever since our youngest said it that way about 25 years ago….

Disappear not, needed you are. The forces of sanity in balance you keep…

Here’s to never again feeling the need to disappear.

re: blog.. did Vlad hire a staff? good blog… lots of work went into this one.. CATHERINE DENEUVE what a cutie-pie… remember now what was said before re “the disappear” thing .. v sad.

That sewing machine looks like it was designed by the late folk artist L.V. Hull.

@The Old Wolf -

Channeling Yoda today, are we? But I second what you said. Mz T, you provide the stability and wimsy in so many lives. We depend on your strip - and blog - to keep us balanced.

@ cleokaya -

Looks more like one designed by the Button King. Check it out at:

Teresa, my heart goes out to you.

@locoowl

Check your email.

Who remembers Ross Martin as a regular on “Stump the Stars”?

Teresa, thank you for this Series in Progress. It helps to know we’re not alone. Thank you, too, for your reference to “the heroism of little girls.” I only thought of it as hanging on one minute longer; it never occurred to me till now that doing so might be considered brave.

AbbieT, my heart goes out to you, too.

If we all were friends in real life and if you wanted a hug from me, I would give you one.
