That would be legendary.
And the Oscar for best actor, Steve Scott for his role in "A welders life"

I believe we all deserve a bit of respite!

[LtBadd]

if you go to his profile you'll see the last time he was on, I think lately he just logs on to make sure the place isn't burning to the ground

I suppose he's got to keep up with new members and let them on. He's prolly working on some big production somewhere.

[Artie F. Emm]

I recall he was involved in a Christmas production, probly been a touch busy. But that's 4 days ago, now!

[Farmwelding]

I think he may have lost a family member and has been at his parents house the last few days at least that's what I got out of it on Facebook.

Quite right on all counts. We lost one of my brothers late on Thursday the 14 shortly after discovering multiple inoperable cancers. I had performed one show that night, with three to go, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. There was nothing I could do, so "the show must go on" was my therapy. Over Christmas week, I visited my mother. I was barely home when I fell ill with something flu-like (I had my flu shot this year, but that's no guarantee). I've been checking in to screen new members and read the posts (to make sure the place isn't burning...) but not much else.

I want to get back to being more active here, but I've also had some personal health issues over the last several months that remain undiagnosed and leave me in a state of constant fatigue. Some days it's a battle to go to work in the morning, which is unlike me. I've made no secret of how much I enjoy my job. The next specialist on my list is a neurologist. I've already been poked, prodded, scoped, and tested for nearly anything that could be wrong from my jewels to my throat, and come up clean.

I've auditioned for one play for the first quarter of the new year, and don't yet know if I have a role. I'm torn between wanted to do the play and wanting a break from the schedule. It's "All the King's Men," the thinly veiled story of Huey Long's rise to the Governorship of Louisiana.

I'm touched by everyone's concern. Happy New Year!

Deeply sorry to hear of your brother's passing. And concerned for your health too. Welding may be "life" to many here, but family and health are EVERYTHING. Do take good care of yourself. The world has a chronic shortage of good people these days, and I shudder to think how profound your absence from our sphere would be.

May 2018 bring you much deserved happiness and renewed good health!

Steve, very sorry to hear of your loss, hope the new year brings resolution for your health issue, you are missed here.

[AndersK]

Sorry about your loss Steve and I sincerely hope you'll get better soon.

Did they check for Borrelia? It is amazing how often they miss that for such common infection and wrongly diagnose as a bad flue because of the similar symptoms.

[noddybrian]

I hoped you were just busy or got a Hollywood part - very sorry to hear of your loss & health issues - you are missed here - 2017 has been a rough year for some members - I wish you a speedy recovery & a better new year.

[Artie F. Emm]

My condolences as well. That kind of loss is devastating, and I wish the best to you and your family.

I hope your health concerns get sorted out, too. I wonder if another play would be a strain on your body, or if it's just the kind of therapy you might need just now.

[Otto Nobedder]

I appreciate the condolences. It sucks losing a brother, and this is my third. One on my dad's side, and now two on Mom's side. A woman is not meant to outlive her children. She turned 91 on Jan 13, which is also my late brother Joe's birthday. Sucks that they coincide. My brother Eyrl was able to be there, so she did not spend that day alone, either.

Actually, I lost a sister on my dad's side, but Evelyn died in 1933 in childhood, so the pain is far removed from me.

I've been advancing on my hobbies, for the sheer distraction. Saturday I went to "Improv" night at a local eatery with the children's theater. I read a poem I wrote, did three minutes of mediocre stand-up, and played at improvisational theater with the kids the rest of the night. It really was just as much fun as playing "army" or whatever, when we were 9-year-olds pretending.

Now, I'm considering auditioning for "the night of one-acts"; A local theater holds a one-act play writing contest, and the winners get produced.

Damn man, my sincere condolences for you and your family

Hey Steve,
Sorry to hear about your brother, get well soon...

I'm back, more or less. Came in to do some overdue cleanup work. I had a Cardiologist appointment yesterday, and I'm scheduled for several procedures July 10. Hopefully, I'll find some answers to the issues that have been making my life difficult for the last many months. I intend to spend more time here.

In my last post here I mentioned auditioning for "A Night of One-Acts". I did. I landed a co-star role in a play called "Handjob". No, not what you're thinking. A fellow (Gary) blows his hand off in a botched suicide attempt, and receives a hand transplant. That hand has a mind of it's own, and tries to stop Gary from future suicide attempts for his own self-preservation. He presents as a sock puppet, and I was his voice. I think that's the most challenging role I've done, as I'm out of sight, I can't see the action or the actors, so I have to time everything off sound cues. It came off brilliantly, and the 17 year-old high-school student who wrote it won second place (and the contest was international and included known playwrights).
