Critics comment: "Depressing."Bravo to the playright for getting it so perfectly@The play has a terrible script tho, nothing but a litany of misery and complaint!  Libeth, Way cool!  I love it.  You need to write a sequel with Prednisone as the villian/hero, and see what happens.Yes, Where is the sequel? Do we need to wait 2 years?
pgr
Sequel coming up, am writing it in my mind now, no objections from body,
since it isn't physical!! Look for PMR play scenes scenes 4,5, and 6.


humor is the best medicine!

LibethLibeth, We anxiously await the sequel.  I love your mind.  PMR play "The Affliction"

Scene four:
Mind is sitting on a bench, the list in one hand and head in another.

Body comes in slowly, kicking stones while walking.
Sits down next to Mind and takes the list.
"Sorry about kicking you in the butt, but whenever you start on a list like
this I start feeling awful, ache all over, pain in the shoulders, pain in the
back, all I want to do is go lie down somewhere.   

Mind takes back the list, looks it over, says
"But, but, these things are important!"

Body looks at Mind, with shoulders drooping, head hanging. says
"Maybe, but I can't do this anymore, I feel wretched.
Mind turns to look at Body, Body turns to look at Mind, and they say
"We're in this together." What can we do?"

They sit silently.

A stranger walks in and stands looking at them.

They look up, say "Who are You?"

"Names Pred" the stranger says, "You don't look so good."
"Anything I can do?"

"Can you stop this misery?"

"Well, I have some pills that might do the trick. Take them in the
morning, about 20 should do it.

Stranger strolls out, Mind and Body look at each other and smile.

Scene five now in rehearsal.   
Critics Comment. That Pred fellow is very attractive.


Scene six is currently in the writing stage.




I have always thought, Pred, was like the Phamtom of the Opera guy. Beautiful on one side and sinister on the other.

Way to go Libeth!!!!!

I love it! 

That's brilliant, Libeth.  And Lonna, what an awesome thought you had. The Phantom couldn't be a more thoughtful and accurate analogy.  Whooooaaaaa!  We, the predheads are becoming soooo cerebral. This...right on the tail of all the redneck Viagra puns!  There is hope for us after all. Love to everyone.  Gotta go paint.  "Hello, walls, how'd things go for you today,,,did you miss me...since I up and walked awwwaaaay?" (Insert music notes here.) Libeth you are BRILLIANT! Keep it coming! Off to try to work...
pgr"The Affliction"

Scene four, three months later.

Mind and Body are sitting together on the bench.

Mind says: "Those pills, there's something not right there..... the pains
are gone, sort of, but there sure is something else going on. Look at me,
restless, can't finish anything, the list...Body interupts, saying.
"Look at me, with the beard of a goat, the cheeks of a chipmunk, the
wattles of a turkey, the hump of a buffalo, the belly of a pig, the weight of
an elephant, what's next, cloven feet? I can't stand to look in the mirror!"

Pred strolls in, stops in front of Mind and Body, and they both start
yelling at him.

Pred shrugs his shoulders, and says
"Well, you know how it is, can't get something for nothing." Strolls out

Mind says, "That Pred, I knew he couldn't be trusted, too good looking.
Body says: "Yeah, I guess I wasn't listening, was too busy looking.

They are silent, they weep.

Script in rewrite
Critics comment: Is this a comedy or a tragedy?"correction, that was scene three.Comic Tragedy?
I love it either way!
pgrLove the descriptive writing. Mae me want to get my turkey wattle pierced. Or maybe 3 piercings.  2 rhinestones and a ring.  Bye, I gotta go shave.

"Hilarious, brilliantly crafted, cannot wait for sequels", so posts critic from rival RA Thread. 

Brich, I posted a response on the wrong thread, Here it is.
Your responses are as much fun as writing the play, I'm still laughing!
Which blade do you prefer, Gillette or Remington?OUCH!!! I don't even want to know what is coming with the blades!
pgr

Libeth, I just use some sort of disposable ones. I shaved my entire upper lip 2 days ago.  Today I licked my lips and it was like  licking a worn out manicure brush. I do so hate what "Pred" does to me.  He's such a bastard.    I went to the beauty supply and bought some wax. I near ripped my whole top lip off... and it's still bristly on top of that...and red and stretched out.     I'm scared to take it off my chin, so it's still on there.  Maybe it will just wear off or something. I'm hoping the oil in my face will loosen it by morning.

Keep up the good writing.  Who knows, you may hit Broadway, and we can say we knew you when.  Don't laugh.  How many years have the Bluemen been playing?

Betsy, I laugh with you, I cry with you. You are wonderful to make a joke of
something so, aggravating so irritating. Take care, be hopeful.

Libeth
