Oh, my God, I thought I'd heard them all: what kind of cheeze isn't yours? Na-cho-cheeze? Thanx for the chuckle, Kelly, as I shake my head. Going to be really busy this week; it's tech week; we move onto the actual stage today, live audience on Friday at what's called an invited dress rehearsal, same on Sat., then two preview performances Mon. and Tues., and then the official opening Wednesday the 2nd. It's going great. My best to you all, love, Larry.
Hi Larry, With opening night fast approaching it's all becoming pretty real,huh? Sounds like you're going to be quite busy, which I'm sure you love. I can only imagine how exciting all this is for you..Well,it's time to get the tissues out again,'Sams' memorial is today. I'm sure ghost Sam will be making an appearance. This show is a great diversion with everything going on in the 'real world'. Have fun in rehearsals. Be safe. XO Lisa
Hey Kelly, Sorry if I took things wrong. No, I'm not making fun of the way birds talk. Hehe. After all I'm a bird too! Hehe. LOL ;-) Larry, I'm glad things are going fine with your rehearsals, and that you're going to be opening pretty soon. I was worried about you when you didn't post anything since Saturday. Good Luck and Take Care. Sincerely, Your feathered fan, TweeTwee. ;-)
Angela, I will keep you and your husband in my prayers. Please keep us posted with any news.
Glad to hear the good news about the play Larry. Sounds like you're having a real good time with this play. You're going to do a great job opening night. Don't forget the saying "break a leg". Not literally of course. Ghost Sam made an appearance today. You're really scary as a ghost. I can't wait to see more of him on our screens. I hope we get to see more of him tomorrow. The funeral reminded me of my own fathers funeral 8 years ago. Anyway, have a great rest of the week Larry and everyone else and Angela, keep us posted on your husband. Kelly, I love the cheese joke. Later, Valerie M.
Hi Everyone, I got this email today and wanted to share it with everyone here... Our servicemen and women are deployed thousands of miles from their families and could use a message of our support....It only takes seconds....Please visit the Department of Defense web page below and sign in thanking the men and women of the U.S. military services for defending our freedom. The compiled list of names will be sent out to our soldiers at the end of the month. So far, there are only about 1.2 million names. What a shame....National Military Appreciation Month... The entire process takes 10 seconds...literally. Please pass it on to your email friends.<http//www.defendamerica.mil/nmam.html>
Lisa..good idea! I have signed that before. Larry...Sounds like it is getting very exciting over there! Today was Sam's funeral...very sad :( And then Ghost Sam POPS up...YIKES..."he" scared me! Very cool...but I miss your smile! It is just getting too close to no more Sam...very, very sad! So...we have to work on getting you back on our TV's...so..nice segue here....we are up to 791 signatures on the petition...YEAH!..9 more and we hit 800 (math class for the day)...sign it if you haven't already! http://www.petitiononline.com/larrylau/ Then Jenn sends the 800 to TPTB! We have to keep letting TPTB know that we want Larry back...especially since Sam will be gone soon! OK...I am done cheerleading... Have a great day everyone! ...Nancy @)====
Larry~ hey dude, what's shaking? So how was your first day on the actual stage? I'll bet your feet are doing such a happy dance knowing that it is almost show time!! All of your hard work will soon pay off! Cool beans, Mister! Ghost Sam- I like him! I bet I know what you will be wearing for Halloween!! LOL! BTW...early picks have the Cubs taking it all this year-World Series, baby! Go Cubbies! Hmmm.... Take care. Luv, T*
Larry, the funeral was very sad. It's hard to believe that soon you will not be seen on OLTL. Ghost Sam is great but your smile and the twinkle in your eyes is priceless. You're already missed. I'm glad things are going well in Austria. Please stay safe.
Hey Larry, Great dress rehearsal pix. We never would have had a chance to see Sam with his shirt hanging out like that. LOL!! Good luck, break a leg, and have a blast! Donna:)
Donna, what pix are you talking about? Ghost Sam made another appearance today. Yeah! I hope they show him everyday until Sam isn't on anymore. I was hoping they would've showed more of him today but I'm glad we got to see him. I also miss Sam's smile. I hope everyone's having a good day today. Angela, I'm still keeping you and your husband in my prayers. I got some news last night. A very good friend of mine is leaving this Sat. for Turkey. I'm hoping he doesn't have to fight, but if he does, I'm going to be worried for him and also proud of him for what's he's doing for our country. I will be praying for him. Will everyone in here, including Larry, keep Phil in your prayers? Anyway, I have some business I have to attend to. I'll talk to you guys later. xxxooo, Valerie M. P.S. I won't be making it to chat tonight.
Nancy, did you get my e-mail yesterday?
Valerie, These are pix I took of Larry at dress rehearsal during my trip to Vienna. He was such a sport to let me backstage. Thanks Larry for letting me button up your shirt!;)If you want to see them just email me @ gotcha.com. Just kidding:) A friend sent me the link but actually you can view them by going to the English Theater website and clicking on the play and then "photos." Praying for our troops...Donna:)
Valerie, The website for the theatre is englishtheatre.at
Hi Larry and fellow OLTL fans. I've been reading some of your previous posts, and I'm curious about the one Larry made to Kelly where he asked her 'Sup, Kelly?' What did he mean by that? Just courious. I'm also wondering if Larry has asked any of his unmarried fans to go on a date with him. Also, it would be great if the webmaster could change to a guest book forum with more tools to use to express ourselves. I really enjoy using Emoticons. They're fun. Especially the animated ones.
Gale & Valerie....Thank you for the message and prayer's. Still don't know anything about John. He ia an Army Medic,and am praying really hard that the next army officer to knock at my door will have good new's. I did get a laugh yesterday during Sam's funeral when he kept popping up to tell Lindsay to tell the truth. Take care ,love Angela
Confess, Lindsay! Geez, Larry! I was ready to confess, and I didn't do it! LOL! Ghost Sammy is like something from Michael Jackson's "Thriller"! Ghost Sammy really rocks the house down! How long did it take in makeup to get you to look like that? So, how are rehearsals going? What is it like being in the actual theatre? Take care, Larry. Don't take any wooden schillings because,well, they aren't worth anything!! Luv, T*
Hello Laurence, I have been a fan of you since you were on All My Children and I have watched you on One Life To Live. I'm very sad that Sam Rapport was killed off. He will be missed. I hear rumors that you might be going back to All My Children. Are those rumors true? I hope so because your handsome face should be on the tv. Good Luck with the play you are doing in Vienna.Pray for our troops. MJ
Larry: Good afternoon! Good luck with your first live audience performance tomorrow! It sounds like it should be pretty crazy for you for a while...so Good Luck with the run! Vienna is very lucky! Take care of yourself and get lots of sleep...you will need it with your schedule! Let me say "bravo" before the fact! And well "bravo" for getting to where you are! Give 'em hell, Larry! And keep having fun!...Nancy @====
Guten Tag, Larry! I hope you are having a wonderful day today. I just want to wish you and your fellow cast members all the best tomorrow when you do your first live performance. I will be there in spirit-I promise to be a good spirit-cheering all of you on. Take care and enjoy the ride! I know it will be a smooth one! xo Luv, T*
Hi Larry, It's almost time for the first curtain to go up. I wish you all the best of luck with the first live performance. How excitied you must be. And maybe even a little nervous, but when you get on stage and get a few lines out,all the butterflies will be gone. Have a great first show. I'll be thinking about you. Be safe. XOXOXO Lisa
Hey there..we broke 800 on the petition! COOL! We need to keep this going especially since Larry (yeah you) won't be on OLTL in a few weeks (I am assuming)...we NEED to everyone pass the link around....Thanks! WE can't forget the Lauman...we just need to keep reminding folks of this fact! ....Have a great day!.......Nancy @)=====
Greetings and Salutations! How are you doing Larry? Fine I hope. I was absolutely bummed when I found out you were killed on the show. Is it real? Are you really dead? If it is any consolation, you are an immense talent, who will be snapped up by another show or production soon. I don't quite understand how these decisions are made, but I think it does a great disservice to your legion of fans. C'mon for goodness sakes! A lot of us watch OLTL due to you being in the cast. I personally watched you on AMC as Greg (one of the best characters written on daytime, bar none), and I enjoyed you being on One Life. Well, I just wanted to say, good luck, and keep the faith, and know that wherever you end up, this fan will support you and your acting endeavors. Peace out!
I just saw the photos for the play. I wish we got to see Sam with his shirt untucked like that. Thanks Donna for telling the website for the pix. Lindsay needs to confess otherwise Sam isn't going to leave her alone. I'm not looking foward to not seeing Sam after April 7th but I'll live. Good luck tomorrow Larry with the live audience. You are going to do great. I'll be there in spirit and I promise I won't haunt anyone, lol. Lots of Hams, Valerie
Hi Larry, I hope things go well with your first live performance tomorrow night. I don't blame you if you're nervous about it. I don't know how you actors can perform in a play or musical almost every night. It must really be exhausting. Well, like they say in the theatre world, Break a Leg and Good Luck. :-)
Larry, Larry, Larry, sup? Are you excited? Best of luck tomorrow. We are all cheering for you because...well, Larry, YOU ROCK!;-) XXOO,Kelly~
Larry~ shine on, Superstar!Best wishes to you and the rest of the cast on your first live performance. Enjoy your day! XOXO to all of you! Luv, T*
Good Morning Larry, Just getting ready to shut the computer off for the night and wanted to share something with you. On my computer I get a couple diffrent screen savers a day and right now it's a beautiful picture of Hallstatt,which I beleive is a lakeside village in Vienna. Don't know what the significant meaning is but,I thought it was intresting. Sending you lots of hugs and smiles for good luck today. Be safe.XO Lisa
Hey Larry....Break a leg tonight! Show 'em your stuff like we know you can! Make those exects from ABC hear about it and drool!!! And, of course, let us know how your first night in front of an audience went. XOXO-Natasha
The house is in... the lights have dimmed and the curtain rises... Act I begins. Have a wonderful preview night Larry... I'm sure it went very well. Take care.
I can't wait to here how your first night went sure it is going well good luck :) Missy
How was doing the play in front of the live audience today Larry? I hope it went really good. How is everyone else doing today? Good I hope. I'm not doing to bad myself. OLTL was good today. They didn't show any GhostSam today but we got to hear his voice when Gabby was reading the letter that Sam wrote for Bo and Nora. I hope we see him on Monday. Take care everyone, Valerie
To Larry and All~ I just wanted to share some information I received in an email today. I had sent an email to find out if a release date had been set for the films Larry had made- "Return to the secret garden", "The Penny Promise", and "Jumping for Joy". A kind man checked with the upper management to get information for me, and said no release date had been set yet. He did say that they would probably be ready for a Christmas release. What a great stocking stuffer they will be! So keep that in mind, as Christmas is only 9 months away! LOL! Larry in our Christmas stockings! HO! Ho! HO! I will post more information when I get it. A little free PR there for you, Larry. Hope you don't mind! Luv, T*
Hi Tatermouse, I'm glad to hear that we can expect to be able to purchase Larry's movies on Video and DVD this coming Christmas. I did a search on his films at Amazon.com, and they didn't show up. So, I'm glad that they will be available later this year. I read in one of the previous posts that you and Larry are trying to bet on how the Cubs and Yankees will do this season. I can't believe someone from the Northwest would be a fan of those Bronx Bombers. Yuk! I can't stand them! But, I do like some of the individual players though like Derek Jeter. I think he is a nice guy who is also handsome and hunky. Still single too. Hehe. ;-)
Hi Larry, Good luck tonight! I know you will do well as you always do! Thanks for always keeping us up to date on how your doing, your so cool!! Im enjoying Ghost Sam though, I bet that was fun huh? Take care hon and stay safe! Love ya, ~*Angie~*
Bronx Bombers? Exsqueeze me? LOL! I must interject. As a native New Yorker, I strongly disagree. YANKEES ROCK! :-) Kelly~
Hi OLTLfan~ I am not sure if Larry and I are betting or not- it is up to Larry to decide what the bet is, and what I will be losing this time! LOL! I lost the last one-big time! He is quite partial to the New York teams-and rightfully so- they are pretty awesome teams! Da Yankees are "Da Bomb"! I am sticking with my Cubs, though! (Hi Mary!) I will let you know about the movies. Have a GREAT weekend, everyone! Hams and world peas, Larry! Encore! Luv, Tater
Hi Larry, How did you make out with the Play tonight? Hope things went well, but I am sure they did. I misse
Hi Larry, me again, My son is on my lap (he is 8months old) and he hit a button on the computer, and before i knew it, my comments were submitted. I meant to say I missed OLTL today I had to take him to the doctor's so I didnt know if Ghost Sam was on today, but, I hope to see him next week.
Hey there LIVE performer! How ya doin'? How is it over there in your own country? You seem so far away..oh yeah...you are! We heard "Sam" read the letter about "Matthew" today...gee, they wrote that one quick! But we got to hear your voice..so that was cool! Hope you are doing well and that the "show" is going well! Happy Weekend to Me! And all of you too! I need the weekend this week! I am going to Manhattan on Sunday...I will give "her" your regards! Take care! ...Nancy @)====
Hello: I loved you on AMC as Greg, and also on OLTL as Sam. Good Luck, and May God Bless You.
Hey Larry,I just wanted to ask you if you all had fun doing the funeral scenes, or was it sad for all involved too? I know your friends didn't want you to leave the show. I bet you all cracked up when you appeared with Lindsey crying. I hate that Mitch dude. Oh well, back to reality here. I love to watch AMC and OLTL it helps me escape from the crap the world is throwing at us now. Good Luck again and have fun with your new adventure. Robin Howell From EAST TENNESSEE The best location in the nation, but that is a matter of opinion.
Hi Tatermouse, I guess I can't blame Larry for going with the New York teams since he makes his home in NYC now. I don't have anything against the Mets themselves, just the Yankees. It was ashame that the Mets ended up having a bad season last year when they should've had a good one under former manager Bobby Valentine. I was rooting for the Mets to beat the Yanks in the Subway Series a few years ago. But, alas, they lost to them. A lot of people - including me - got tired of the Yankees winning the World Series. Thanks to the Angels - even though I don't like them either - for finally knocking the Yanks out of the playoffs last year. One of my favorite teams are the Dodgers - and I don't know why. I guess there's something about them that attracts me. :-] Go Dodger Blue!
Hi Larry, Can't wait to hear how your first live performance was. Sending lots more hugs and smiles your way for another great show. Have fun and be safe. XO Lisa
Happy Spring everyone! (I say that as we may get snow showers in the next few days in NYC!) OLTLfan: The Yankees won a lot because they are the BEST!!! But, I can understand the frustration. Last night I saw the Off-Broadway show "Forbidden Broadway." It is a spoof on Broadway shows & personalities and was just hilarious. They even poked fun at "The Goat," which made me think of Larry. I hope you all are having a fabulous weekend, and that you are having better weather than NYC is having (rain!) Peace & Smiles, Jenn
Hey Larry, How you doin? Good Luck with your play, not that you need it... Miss you dearly... Hug~ Angela
Hey Everybody! First two preview shows (with audience) went really well. Thank you for all your wonderful comments and encouragements. The audience really informs you in ways you can´t get without them: they laugh at places you don´t expect, they react in other places that surprize you, and, most of all, they really energize the atmoshere. The truth is that I haven´t done live theatre in nine years and it is thrilling and challenging and, yes, it gives you the `butterflies´! I can tell already that each night will be different, and that is as it should be; you just don´t know what´s going to happen! We are still polishing and adjusting and I believe we are right where we are supposed to be. Official opening this Wednesday; two more previews Mon. and Tues.. Well, gotta go; we´re going Vienna sight-seeing today. Thanx, Lisa H., for the `bear´, it´s really sweet: I have it in my dressing room for company! And thanx Nancy J. for the latest stuff; it is, as always, GREAT! Can´t believe the petition is over 800, that´s just incredible. Thanx to everybody. Oh, and T*, I´m still thinking about our bet! Stay tuned! Be well everybody, oxox, Larry.
Larry: Glad to hear that everything is going well! I can imagine the audience adds a tremendous amount of energy...which can be exciting in lots of different ways...scary and fun and crazy! Good luck with next week...you ROCK..you are going to ACE everything...more previews, opening night!! No question! Glad to hear that you are doing some sight seeing!Enjoy your time off! Talk soon!...Nancy J* @)=====
Hi Larry~ Your welcome, glad the little guy made it just in time for the plays first live performance. I'm so happy that the play is going good and that you're enjoying the experience,even though it comes with butterflies. Enjoy the site seeing in Vienna, it all looks so beautiful over there. Good Luck next week. Be safe. XO Lisa
Hi Larry, glad to hear that everything went well with your first live performances, and that you have some company in your dressing room sent by one of your fans. I guess you're never too old to have a Teddy Bear for a companion. I hope you enjoyed your sight-seeing there in Vienna. It's supposed to be one of the more beautiful, sophisticated and open-minded cities in Europe. I read at one of the travel sites on the Internet, that the Viennese have been welcoming people from other places. I'm sure you know by now that Cafe Society started there in Vienna. =>To Yankee fans: I guess you can say that the Yankees are the 'Best' team - that money can by! They're good at buying Championships.
Larry~ How wonderful to hear that the preview shows went well for you! I am thrilled for you! I'll bet it was such a rush for you to be back on stage again. I hope you had a great time sight-seeing today. I'm sure Vienna at night is truly amazing and quite beautiful,too! Lucky you! Good luck to you and the rest of the cast with the rest of your preview shows! Oh! Oh! You're thinking about the bet? Should I start worrying yet? LOL! Take care and enjoy yourself! xoxo Luv, T*
Hi about a week ago I posted that at the Royal Table messages boards we do our own awards for fun and I did my own Sammy Award and it won it all in fun but, I thought I post what they said here. Winner of the Write in Category: Laurence Lau, Sam Rappaport, One Life to Live Sam has a strong supporter in LarrysLady. May Sam rest in peace, and may LarrysLady find see him on the screen in another role soon! (LarrysLady is my screen name over there for thoose who don't know :)) Also Larry I was in a chat tonight and they wanted to know if you got tired of wearing that white suit with blood on it ? lol Missy
Larry Glad to hear everything went well , have fun and take care :) xxxxxooooooMissy
Hey Larry, glad things are going well with the play, it sounds terrific and very exciting. I'm sure you will be fabulous in the role of Martin. You know...Virginia Wolfe is one of my all time favorites! I'm sure 'The Goat' will be great too! Still fighting off the virus here. Spent the weekend Hitchin'. Rope, Rear Window and The Birds to name a few. It's another 2 am post, insomnia stinks! Thoughts of dressing a chicken in a parking lot, ( a singing telegram that needed a hand),my boss riding around on a unicycle all day on Friday and Cole coming home this week. Not to mention this brick on my chest...jeez, who could sleep? LOL! Anyway, glad you are having fun and as always, thanks for sharing with us. xxoo, Kelly~
Can anyone tell me how many more days of Larry we have left on OLTL? I have been so busy with school that I have missed all of the haunting scenes. We are on break this week, and I am so anxious to catch at least a few of his scenes. Larry, I bet you are glad to have the first previews behind you. An audience sure does make a difference. They let you know in a hurry what works and what doesn't work. It is funny how every audience is different too. Best of luck to you in the coming days.
Patty B...I believe I heard April 7th...but that may be a few days longer because of the pre-emptions. Hope you get to catch him! I will put some screencaps on my site soon...(hopefully)...http://aboutlarry.topcities.com (look under images and then OLTL (they are by date)) ==> better hold on to you hat..he is really scary...well he looks "dead"..so not OUR SAM! Be COOL! Nancy @)====
Hey Larry...thanks for checking in! I am glad that your first previews went well. Opening night is coming up! You're gonna knock 'em dead. How's the weather over there? It's Spring Break here and it's freezing! Let us know how opening night goes, even though we all know you are going to do well. XOXO-Natasha
Hi Larry~ Offical opening night,less than 24 hours away. Bet you're pretty excited. Go out there and show em'your stuff. Knock em' dead. Can't wait to hear the **Lau-views**. Sending lots of hugs and smiles:)for good luck!! Have fun and be safe. XO Lisa
Happy April Fools Day to everyone! I'm not having a good one. Short version, my dad died on April Fools day 8 yrs. ago today. I haven't really liked it much since then, but I hope everyone has fun doing practical jokes on your friends or family members. I bet you can't wait for opening night, huh Larry? It's less then 24 hrs. away. Go get em' and have a good time. Break a leg and all of us fans will be there with you in spirit on your opening night. Lots of hugs and kisses, Valerie
Hi Larry, I hope things go well also with your play's official opening night. Good Luck! :-) Baseball fans-> I thought I'd celebrate the opening of the MLB season by singing a silly version of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame": Take me out...ballgame Take me out...crowd Buy me...peanuts...crackerjacks I don't care...never get back Root, root, root...hometeam They don't win...shame! One, two, three strikes...out! All ball game. Oh, how silly! Play Ball! :-)
Larry~ Congratulations and best wshes on your opening day!! Those who achieve success are those who take a dream and make it come true. It takes a lot of planning and a lot of hard work too-it takes a lot of caring to make a dream come true. And now that you have achieved this goal, Larry,may you go on from here to more success and much happiness in the coming years! Smiles across the miles!:-> Luv, T*
Hey Larry~ What a great day for the opening day of baseball! Cubs beat the Mets(15-2) and the Yankees beat Toronto(8-4).Our teams don't meet until june for a 3 game series in Chicago. Looking forward to that! Play Ball! Luv, T*
Larry: Congratulations on your "Official Opening Night"! Take an extra bow knowing that we are all back in the USA and other countries...cheering you on!........Nancy @)====
Larry, hope you have an excellent opening night. We will be their in spirit cheering you on. Both the Braves and the Mets lost their opening games but things will get better. Afterall, the season has just started. It might be the Braves vs Mets for the divison title.
Hey there folks..they have new pictures of the play on the theatre's site..here is the link! It looks GREAT Larry! http://www.englishtheatre.at/Presse/Photos/goat.html AWESOME~ Nancy @)=====
A policeman in the big city stops a man in a car with a miniature goat in the front seat. "What are you doing with that goat?" He exclaimed, "you should take it to the zoo. The following week, the same policeman sees the same man with the goat in the front seat, with both of them wearing sunglasses. The policeman pulls him over. "I thought you were going to take that goat to the zoo"! The man replied "I did. We had such a good time, we are going to the beach this weekend!" Larry~ I hope you are having as much fun with "The Goat"! Congratulations and all the best of wishes to you and the cast of "The Goat" as you begin your European debut! Strut your stuff, Superstar! xoxo Luv. T*
Hey Larry...How was opening night? I hope it went well! I was thinking about you today, not sure if it was when you were on stage with the time difference, but I hoped you were knocking their socks off. Forget it, I know you were! Have a great run! XOXO-Natasha
Hi Laurence. I've been a fan since your days as Greg Nelson on AMC and have followed your career on the small screen. Sorry you were let go from OLTL but it sounds like another door has opened for you to do the play in Vienna and a possible return trip to AMC. Saw The Goat last summer and thoroughly enjoyed it. You should be wonderful in the role of Martin. Knock their socks off doing the play in Vienna. Oh yea, GO ROYALS!!
Hey Everyone: As you all know the war has been taking up some of the soap time, and today is April 2,and on OLTL today Bo was in his office and was about to record Lindsey's confession,and he announced that it was March 31st,and I have noticed that it is usually the same day when they announce what the date is. Oh by the way, that Good Looking Ghost SAM appeared in Bo's office today, and they carted Lindsey off to the Looney Bin at St.Anns. Love the show, but Miss you Larry!!Good Luck again, and May God Bless you. Robin Howell
Hey Everybody! The opening went great! The house was packed and they were with us all the way; three curtain calls! There was a fancy party afterwards, everybody all dressed up and it was alot of fun; people were very complimentary. Well, now we´re off and running, and I expect this is going to be a great run. I´ll write more soon, was up way too late last night and I need a little nap before tonight´s show. Thanks again for all your wonderful thoughts; you are all the THE BEST! Oh, and T*, thanx for the candy, and thanx for that goat joke, I loved it! oxoxo, Larry.
Larry: I can feel your energy all the way over here! Congratulations! 3 curtain calls! Tremendous! As Kelly would say "Shine On"!...Nancy @)====
Larry sounds like opening night was great glad it went well Missy :) xxxxxx0000000
Hi Larry, Happy to hear the play had a successful opening night. And 3 curtain calls, that's great I wouldn't expect anything less. Take care and be safe XO Lisa
Larry~What an incredible opening night-3 cutain calls! And now Austria knows why we love you soooo much back home! Ya done good,dude! I'm glad you liked the candy, and I hope the "explanation" that went with it works better for you than it does for me! People look at me funny when I say it, but most people know that I am nuts, so that might explain the look, too! LOL! BTW...do you count goats when you try to go to sleep, now? Enjoy yourself, little muffin! xoxo Luv, T*
Congratulations! Three curtain calls is excellent. The people of Austria definitely appreciate good performances. Sounds like this is going be a great run and you deserve it. Have another great performance tonight.
Bravo Larry! Congratulations!Kelly~
Larry....Did you see your horoscope today? Check this out 'Stud Muffin'! You are the picture of casual confidence -- and what a picture you are! You'll draw crowds to your gallery before the show even opens and sell out your tickets as soon as they are put on sale. Everything is happening in harmony with a full orchestra and rousing chorus. Jump in with the band and lead them into a new beat. Others are eager to be onstage with you and to share the leading role. Be aware that the scene in which you are in the spotlight is likely to be one of romance. You are generous in your glory.
Hi Larry, I'm glad to hear that things went very well with the official opening of your play, and that you and your castmates got three curtain calls. I'm happy for you. It must have been a big thrill. BTW, I'm one of the many fans that have signed the petition that Nancy wrote up to send to TPTB at ABC Daytime, to help get you back on AMC as Greg. I was very glad to sign it. I was watching AMC at the time you were on the show. It would be great to see you back playing Greg again. I'm sure you wouldn't mind having that steady paycheck that being a regular on a show brings. Good Luck! Jo :-)
Dear Nancy, Jenn, and Kelly; Thank you so much! They are beautiful! They arrived opening night, but in the chaos and hoopla of that night I didn´t get a chance to open the card until last night. Once again, thank you, they are magnificent, as you are! To everyone else, a big HELLO! and thanx for all the congrats; be well, talk soon, ox, Larry.
Oh, and Nancy, thanx for the latest material and your letter, I appreciate it very much. And especially thanx for the Nutella coupon! What a riot! I´m not sure I´ll be able to cash it in here, but it won´t be for not trying; my best, Larry
Howdy Larry ... great to hear the your opening was such a great success! Congratulations! I'm hoping that a delivery came for you on your opening night from T* and myself... knowing my recent luck with post/delivery things... I'm beginning to wonder! LOL! Thanks. TTYS...
Hi Larry, you are very welcome.=) Could you hear us cheerin for you? Hoopla and chaos? Sounds GREAT! Have fun! Kelly~
Nickster and T*! Thankyou so much!! Yes, I got them opening night and they are beautiful; but I was so concerned cause I didn´t know who they were from; I was headed to the GB just now to send out message to anyone who might claim ownership for the phrase, "congratulations for getting everyone´s Goat!" That´s the only part of the card I could make out! Whoever translated the message was pretty messy and I couldn´t read most of the card, especially the names and it was driving me crazy! But now the mystery is solved. Thank you, again, they´re great! oxox, Larry.
Larry~Cool beans! They did make it! We were a little worried there. The card is supposed to say- "Hey Lau Meister-Congratulations on getting everyone's "Goat"! Have a brilliant opening night! Knock 'em dead! Break a leg! Wishing you the best now and always"! LOVE Nickster & Tatermouse XXXOOO. We hope you enjoyed them and the treats that came with them! I am happy to hear that the play is off to a roaring start! Keep having fun! Smiles across the miles!:-] Luv T*
Larry, I am so glad to hear that the play is doing well. I know that you're enjoying feeding off a live audience for a change, and all of us here stateside are cheering you on every step of the way. I noticed that "The Goat" will be debuting here in Chicago later this spring/early summer. Maybe you can do the Chicago version, too! I also want to tell you that, while I have enjoyed "Ghost Sammy" as Nancy calls him, I am really hating this next re-write of history about Mathew's true parentage. I hate it because I think that both you and Kale Browne made Sam such a great character and it is like he is being "cheapened" in death. Ever since your announcement in January, I have been enjoying OLTL less and less. Now I think I just hate it. Anyway, my best to you throughout the run of your play, and can't wait to see you back on our tv screens (as Greg Nelson, I hope!) ASAP when you return to the US! Love, Mary
Hello everybody! Just wanted to say hi; thanx for your comments, Mary. Oh, Jenn, rumor has it that it´s winter in New York again, is that true? And T*, I´m still working on what would be the most appropriate bet for us, stay tuned. My best to everyone, ox, LL.
Hey Mary~ how awesome that would be for Larry to do the Chicago run of "The Goat"! Chicago is only a few hours from LaCrosse, and it would definitely be worth the road trip! BTW..I think our Cubbies need a little pep talk! Awesome news about Sammy, though! Larry~ your Yankees are doing great! They are seriously kicking butts and taking names! Oh, in 5 months football season starts, and the Jets get to play the first game...Sept 4th against Washington! We got snow here yesterday! If I wasn't sick, I would be outside playing in it! Well that's it for the news, sports and weather! LOL! What do you call a goat that lip-syncs? Billy Vanilli! Take care!xoxo Luv, T*
Hello everyone!!! MB~that goat joke had me ROFLMAO!!! You are too much! Larry~ What you've heard about the weather in NY is no rumor...it is INSANE!!! We had almost 2 weeks of BEAUTIFUL, SUNNY, 60-70 degree weather, and now? It's in the 30's/40's and rainy...the 6 day forecast says tomorrow is the only day it's not supposed to rain. It's just depressing! I know that "April showers bring May flowers," but honestly...this is TOO MUCH, and if the past few days is any indication of how the weather is going to be for the rest of the month, I'm moving until my sun comes back! If ya'll haven't seen the latest Digest & Weekly, OLTL swept the "Performer of the Week" category in both mags with Tim Stickney getting it in Digest, and Cat Hickland in Weekly. YAY!!! I'm off for a big adventure...I decided I'm going to save the world: one hug at a time. Wish me luck! LOL!!! Love & Smiles to all, Jenn
Hi Tatermouse, One of my favorite players who used to be with the Dodgers - Eric Karros (woo woo!) - is now playing with your Cubs! Darn it! It won't be the same watching the Dodgers without their long-time 1st baseman. It won't as fun, either. I feel Eric Karros is one of the handsomest active MLB players today. Unfortunately, he's a married guy. Oh well! :-( To anyone who cares --> Here's something you can try with Nutella: Spread Nutella, (as much as you want), in the middle of one of those individual sponge cake Dessert Cups. Sprinkle with chopped nuts - any kind you like. Top with whipped cream or whipped topping. Yummy! :-p Oh, my waist line!
Hey Jen~ I understand how you feel, because we are having the same weather! That's why I am sick! I was just getting used to that bright light in the sky, when Mr. Nasty weather showd up! I will try to cheer you up with another joke: What are crisp, like milk, and go "eek, eek, eek" when you eat them? Mice Krispies! Larry~ I hope the play is going well, and that you are Happy, Healthy, and well-rested! I am getting a little nervous though, because you are doing some serious thinking about our bet! LOL! Or is that your plan? That's it, Larry, just keep waving the cheese in front of the mouse! Watch me dance! Take care..and put the cheese down! xoxo Luv, T*
Yeah!!! The curse has been lifted!! I am no longer postally challenged!! Phew! Glad to hear you got it Larry... and with an added bonus of a mystery! Wow! Nothing new when it comes to T* & me. LOL! Right girl?! Anyhoo... be grateful you're in Europe Larry... if NYC got this nasty storm front of freezing rain that we did... WOW! Major hassle! Tried to get to work on Friday, I made a left hand turn, but the car had a different idea. Luckily no other cars were there... but what I thought was a nice mushy snow bank turned out to be a solid wall of ice. All is good, but I'm tired of the bumper car weather. Although you can go skating anywhere you want... without the use of skates. Take care.
Larry: Hey there! Glad you liked the coupon! I thought you might get a good laugh out of that! I know I did. You sound really great and I am really glad that the play is going great! Glad to hear that your opening night performance and the festivities afterward were magnificent! Just an FYI...the petition is over 860! Yeah! Go Larry! Expect lots of stuff this week! I agree with Mary about OLTL...well am VERY HAPPY that Jenn is going to be the hug-meister for the world! Take care and keep enjoying your wonderful European adventure! Miss you state-side! TTYSoon! Nancy @)====
Ok...meant to say "I am VERY HAPPY" vs. "well am VERY HAPPY"...but that is par for the course for "her" this weekend...smile! smile!
Hey Larry...I'm glad the play is going well. Enjoy the nice weather, it's cold here too! Jenn...Good luck on saving the world one hug at a time! XOXO-Natasha
Jenn, Nickster, and everybody; just so you don´t feel too bad, I woke up this morning, looked out the window and went yeah! It was a beautiful sunny morning, and we had planned a picnic hike outside of Vienna along the banks´of the river Danube, and it looked like the weather was on our side. I called my castmates and said look out your windows and get ready to go; and then a half an hour later it was snowing like crazy! SNOWING! I couldn´t believe my eyes! Needless to say, we postponed our Danube trip till, (hopefully), next weekend; but we did something here in Vienna that was a lot of fun; went to see THE THIRD MAN, starring Orson Wells, shot here in Vienna in 1949. It was great fun, not only because it´s a classic film noir, but also because we could recognize many of the locations now that we´ve been for over a month. Anyway, just thought I´d commiserate a little with the weather-beaten-downtrodden, much love, Larry. ps. Nancy; that´s great news!
Hi Larry, Wish I could bottle up the weather we're having here and send it your way:) The sun is shinning and in the upper 60's. Absolutely beautiful. When mother nature messes up outdoor plans, going to a movie is always a good backup plan. I saw The Third Man not to long ago,it is a great classic film. Sending you hugs and smiles for good luck. Have fun and be safe. XO Lisa
Larry~ white stuff in Austria? Snow way! LOL! Does it remind you of home? Just when you thought it was safe to go outside...flake attack! Well, at least you got to see an awesome classic movie.Orson Welles was so incredible as Harry Lime-so wicked! He played the best villian I have ever seen in a movie. Austria sounds a lot like Wisconsin, weatherwise. We have a saying here-if you don't like the weather, wait an hour, it will change! And it does! Sometimes you can experience all 4 seasons in one day! I hope you have awesome weather next weekend for your picnic! BTW...how's "The Goat"? Take care!xoxo Luv, T*
Hey Larry.....You've got snow? Well..atleast you're enjoying it. I've never seen that movie, should I? Nice to see you and you fellow castmates are getting along. I hope you get to go on your picnic next weekend. XOXO-Natasha
Wow Larry! Your free time in Austria sounds awesome....a picnic hike along the Danube. Geez, I hope you are doing this with someone special....and not with just a goat. Snow or springtime, Austria is such a romantic place as is most of Europe IMO. I hope you are taking it all in and loving life! I'm loving springtime, all the flowers,and the hot tub:)! Donna:) Donna:)
"Hey, H,L and D; you know, sooner or later we're going to shorten it down to one of the three, which do you prefer?" Sis boom bah. Ooh, la, la. I think Larry wanted to slug me on the jaw. Go ahead, Larry. Hit me with your best shot! Just kidding! ;-) Larry, when you asked me that question, were you getting impatient with my need to use more than one name? I sensed that you were starting to get mad at me. I don't mean to be irritating. Please, I can't stand for you to be angry at me. I'll try to behave myself, like a good little, itty, bitty, girl. Okee Dokee? ;-) Hey, I'm glad your play was well recieved by the theatre going audience there in Vienna. Gosh, by gum, by golly! Three curtain calls! Great going! Congratulations to you and your castmates! Over and out.
Hello sports fans! Tonight is the night! LET'S GO ORANGE! Many people here are still without power due to the ice storm, but that won't stop our celebration. We are tough here in 'The Cuse' ! The Carrier Dome is open for all of those without power so that everyone can enjoy Carmelo Anthony takin' it to Kansas in style. Marshall Street will be rockin' tonight! This town has some serious hometown spirit. And you gotta love 'The Freshman'! Peace out, Kelly~

Hey Larry~ Merry Christmas! LOL! I got up early this morning just to watch the snow fall! Everything looks so beautiful all covered in white, and it feels like Christmas again! I put up a string of Xmas lights, and put Collin Raye's Xmas CD

OLTLFan... download the newest Java version... this will help you see all the groovy graphics and flash media on the net in general. Hope that helps. Another blistering cold day today... brrrr... winter storm warning in effect again. ~sigh~ Being teased with Spring in the next couple of days. Keep your fingers crossed.
Sounds like you're having a great time in Vienna and with the play. Rock Chalk Jayhawk! Go Kansas! How can anyone cheer against a team from Larryville (Lawrence, KS). They will be partying on Mass. Street when the crimson and blue win.
Kelly~ my laptop has gone psycho- sending messages while I am writing them, or deleting them when I try to send them! But I wanted to let you know that I am rooting for THE ORANGE too! They are #1!! Party for me, will ya? Orange Rules! T*
Hi Larry~ ya still got snow? We got so much here that I put up Xmas lights and played Xmas music! I was actually trying to trick the Jolly Fat Guy into thinking it was Christmas again, and he would leave more presents! LOL! It is going to be in the 60's by Thursday, and Friday I am going to the beach! OK, the park by the beach. We are going to play volleyball and cook a turkey on the grill! Spring is back! I hope you have awesome weather this weekend for your hike/picnic. I got a picture of ghost sammy in the mail today from a friend! I didn't know that ghosts showed up in pictures so clearly! LOL! And you are smiling! Too cute! Hope the play is going well. Take care. xoxo Luv, T* PS. Kelly- the Orange Men rock! Congrats! T*
Nick the Geek, Thanks for the info, but, are you talking about the Java Version of Internet Explorer, or what? You weren't specific about what you ment by Java Version. %-(
Hey Larry... got a little surprise this morning... getting ready for work I usually turn on our all news/weather/traffic channel hosted by City TV. From 5:30 - 6:00 AM they run news from a station in Berlin. During one of their commercial breaks they were showing "Events"... up came Vienna... and "The Goat"... and they gave the show dates. Pretty cool! Didn't think I would see that... thought I would pass it along. Hope you're doing well and still having a wonderful time! OLTLFan --> Yes, go to http://www.java.sun.com and download the newest version.
I would love for him to reprise the role of Greg but keep away from Liza.
Dear Larry I was so sorry to you leave OLTL. I have been been a fan since the Jenny-Greg days. Seeing you agian on OLTL was like revisting with an old friend. You will be missed I wish you the best of Luck in the future and a return to TV ASAP Peace and God Bless ED
Hey all..sounds like Larry is in a winner! The Broadway production of The Goat, which is no longer running, just won a GLAAD Award, according to broadway.com. Just wanted to share. Hey Larry>> How's the weather in Vienna? Still snowing? XOXO-Natasha
Hi Larry! I spent part of this evening doing some campaign stuff...wait until you see it! You are going to freak! LOL! Well not really...but you will probably think "OMG Nancy"...LOL! I had a bit of a brain storm and just went with it. I am mailing them out tomorrow! These ladies have given me so much to play with, it is incredible! So, how is it going there in Austria? We had 4 inches of snow yesterday...we were supposed to have 12, so 4 was a summer day, you know? And it is fun to watch those weather men grab at straws..you know..."well I did say on Monday that I did not think it was going to be a great big storm"...blah blah blah! So if you can, please 'splain what it is like to perform in front of a live audience, up on that stage! Are you used to it yet? OK...I will stop with the 3rd degree! Have fun! Nancy @)=====
Nickster, Thanks for helping me out. I just installed the right Java application on my computer in order to to see the graphics on this site. I really appreciated it! Thanks again! :-)
greetings everybody!! its been ages since i've been able to log in here. Larry man-- miss you !!so!! much on the show! i dont even get what the he%% they are doing anymore!!! deciding to give up on it. good thing you got out when you did! 'ghost sam' was a lot of fun, but he's gone now. sounds like you are having a riot over there, are the hills really alive? i do have a ? though -- Nancy you said somethin about a campaign, now is this with the official fan club? because i didnt get any info on what youre up to. theres been no announcements except for e-/snail mail stuff. would like to help out if i can, let me know. my little rugrat is climbing these days & its hard to get to chat. HAMS to you L-man. XXXX000
Wiederschen Everybody! The play is going great. The audience seems to be really enjoying it, tho there´s always a few who are going to be ruffled by the harsh language and the controversial subject matter; the reviews were all really good and that a good feeling. It great being onstage, Nancy; it´s a new challenge every night; each performance is different, and each night I still get the butterflies before we start; but, we are settling into it, and I believe it gets richer with each performance. Starting to get around Vienna a little more now that rehersals are over; saw the house where Beethovan lived and also where Eistein stayed for four years. The cathedrals and churches are really amazing and the museums are everywhere. It is such a gift to be here. I did stumbled across an American bookstore the other day and I got really excited and it made me realize that a part of me is already a little homesick; but that´s to be expected. Hope everybody is doing well; can´t wait to see what you´ve got up your sleeve now, Nanc. Oh, and thanx Edward for your comments. My best to you all, Larry.
Hi Larry, Good to hear that the play is going strong and that you're enjoying this adventure. Was just wonderin' if you got the other package I sent ya last week. Have a great show tonight! Have fun and be safe. XO Lisa
OMG LARRY!!! Sam just made his final appearance in Nora's letter. First let me say what a TREAT it was to see YOU on OLTL. I had missed most of the last 5 episodes. The show had been pre-empted today for war updates but then it came back on the air just in time. Bittersweet cuz I know that was IT:( But how touching it was. Sam's love for Nora and Matthew was oozing off of my screen. I had feared that Sam would have been royally screwed by having something to do with the switch but I was glad to see it wasn't TOO bad...well for a soap that is. Not that is matters anymore. LOL!! I have to say, I'm glad my final memory of Sam wasn't all dead looking. As for your excursions in Austria....hey, I walked the same street where you saw Beethoovan's house years earlier but the same nonetheless:)Take care. HAMS, Donna:)
Guten Tag Larry! Wie geht es Ihnen? I'm Sehr gut, danke. Well today was the last time we got to see Sam. I'm glad we didn't see him in the white suit with the blood on it. It was sad for me to see Sam go but we got to see him one last time. I'm glad I have episodes of OLTL with Sam in it. I don't even know how many tapes I have. I also have another tape that has nothing but Another World episodes when you played Jamie Frame. Thanks Kathleen for making that tape for me. I really love it. Thanks for dropping in to let us know how your doing and what you've been up to besides the play. Talk to you again soon Larry. Have a wonderful rest of the day everyone! Love, Valerie
Hi Larry, I'm glad to hear that things are still going well with your play. The premise of the "The Goat" does sound pretty Bizarro like Pizarro, so I might not want to see it. I don't take weird things too good. I've been thinking that it would be great if you could play a recurring role on "Frasier". Since you're from the Portland area, you could play someone that the Crane Brothers find overly competitive about the competition between Seattle and Portland. I've been thinking about sending a letter or E-mail to the Writers of the show, to suggest episodes about that, and that you could play that role. So far as I know, I don't think they've done an episode about how competitive Seattle and Portland are towards each other. Of course, it depends on how long "Frasier" will be on the air. When you were growing up in the Portland area, did you have any bad feelings toward Seattle? Did you ever feel competitive towards people from that city? PS: Sorry about the long post. I have to laugh about the fact that we both seem to have a need to post long messages. Hehe. :-D Take care and God Speed!
Hi Larry~ just rolled back into town, so I thought I would stop by and say Hi! I'm glad to hear that you have a little more free time to explore the beautiful city of Vienna. I hope you are taking a lot of pictures! An American bookstore-what fun! Did you find anything interesting in there? Any good mystery books? I love those! Did you go inside any of the churches or Cathedrals? I saw some beautiful Churches when I went to Mexico. Very breathtaking! I wish you continued success with the play. Take care.xoxo Luv, T*
Hey Larry....Glad you're settling into the play more. You saw Beethovan's house? Cool! And Einstein, =). I am glad you're getting out more and that you aren't stuck inside all day with rehearsals. Are you taking lots of pictures? Hope so..what's the use of being in Vienna without taking a few pictures? Sam was on yesterday....I miss seeing you on my tv! I hope you get a gig back at ABC when you get back. Awww...part of you is homesick? I'm sorry. XOXO-Natasha
Aww shucks I missed the last Sam day. Rats, I guess it will be awhile before I get another Larry fix. I would love to see your live performance, Larry. You have such energy on my little screen. I bet your live performance is amazing. Nancy, I sure hope your efforts work to get Larry back into our homes!
Hey Larry --> You mean the 'proverbial good-guy' actually gets to *have* an edge?!! Wow! Wonderful! Good for you! Wish we had a chance to see it! Out of curiousity... does SAG cover stage aswell? Or are you also an Equity member? Just wondering. OTLFan --> you're most welcome, glad I could have been of some assistance. It's important to see the groovy graphics! T* --> Mouselette... thank you so much for the belated B-Day card and the house-warming one as well. It arrived yesterday :) Coolio Daddio! Thanks bunches! (Feel the love in this room?!) Slainte mo chara!
Larry, it all sounds really exciting. I'll bet you do miss home a bit...Thanks for 'splainin' and sharin'! Yesterday was Sam's last day and YES it was VERY nice to see Sam as we will always remember him! They can and will continue to rewrite stories that make no sense and then POOF it will become someone else's "vision" and everything else will change. I am really just happy they did let us see "ourSam" and not Ghost Sam...On to bigger and obviously better things! Closed that book...now can we open the AMC family album and see an updateon Greg NElson? H'mmmmmmmm! Patty B and Sarah...you missed the newsletter girls...Sarah...I will send it to you, I have your address [climbing...uh oh...she is going to want the keys to the car soon...and boys....sorry Sarah! LOL!] and Patty, if you want me to send it...send em an email at nancy@laurencelau.com...and I will send it to you....and you can see what we are all doing...and if you'd like you can join in! **Everyone have a great day! ** And remember All My Children is on one hour before OLTL...LOL! ** Be HOT!..Nancy @)====
Hi Larry and everyone sorry haven't been around been running with the kids they are spring break but it has been so cold this week what a horrible week for spring break well talk to you all soon Missy
Hi everybody! Following are the happy and delicious lyrics of a Shirley Temple song, to add some happiness to the Guest Book: "The Good Ship Lollipop"---->>>>>>> On the good ship lollipop. Its a sweet trip to a candy shop Where bon-bons play On the sunny beach of Peppermint Bay. Lemonade stands everywhere. Crackerjack bands fill the air. And there you are Happy landing on a chocolate bar. See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll With the big bad devils food cake. If you eat too much ooh ooh You'll awake with a tummy ache. On the good ship lollipop Its a night trip into bed you hop And dream away On the good ship lollipop. :-D
Hey everybody! I have exciting news to share today. My work will be hitting the big screen in a Danny Devito Production, "Large's Ark." That's kind of exciting news, don't you think? I'm excited. LOL! This makes two, count them, two feature films. Some of you may have seen the first film, it was a small picture called "American Pie." LOL! Larry, glad you are getting some down time and seeing the sites. Good luck with the picnic plans this weekend. And as always, SMILE! Kelly~ p.s. Thanks MB! The Orangemen rock!
Kelly~Hey, you are welcome! The Orange Men really do rock! Are you still partying in the 'Cuse?? What an awesome game! Larry~your Yankees are still rockin' the house down! I am sensing that I am in trouble already!LOL! My Cubbies are right up there, too! They let a couple get away, but they are hangin' tough. See, even a moldy cheesehead like me can appreciate the the New York teams! Nicky~ glad you liked the cards.Geez, I'm really putting the smiles on people's faces today- just call me Mary Sunshine! LOL! BTW... Larry, is the goat going along on this hike/picnic, or does Sylvia have other plans for the weekend? Too much togetherness can be hard on a relationship, you know! Take care,Twinkie! xoxo Luv, T*
Kel~ soooo proud of your lacrosse helmets being in yet another movie! That's sooo exciting..you need to start feeling some of those perks, ya know..it's the trickle-down effect! LOL! I hope everyone is doing well and I'm sending hugs to everyone!! Peace & Smiles, Jenn in soggy, cold NYC
Kelly - that is great :) way to go !
Thanks for the congrats, girls. Yes, it seems to trickle on me more and more these days, Jenn. And for that you need a good helmet! LOL! I don't actually make the helmets, but the logo is all mine, I'm kind of proud of that.=) Cascade couldn't fly without my wings! LOL! Have a great day everyone. Kelly~
Even though the last of the OLTL episodes of Larry's character of Sam Rappaport are through being televised, I'm still willing to watch the show to see what Dorian is up to where bringing Mitch Laurence down is concern. I can hardly wait to see what she has in store for him, but, it might be dangerous for her. I also would like to see what happens when Antonio finds out that Keri isn't dead after all. :-/
Hi, Larry! Glad to hear everything is going great with the play!! I cried like a baby when Nora was reading the letter from Sam..Wonderful!! Absolutely brilliant!! And what's this bet going on with baseball??? I want in..LOL..Diehard MN Twins fan here!! (They're my boys, what can I say??)
Hi Sarah! Yes, the scene with Nora reading the letter from Sam was very emotional. very touching. As far as the bet goes, it is between Larry and I and our two teams- the Yankees (Larry's team) and the Cubs(my team). It's just a little experiment- to see how many bets I can lose before I realize that I can't beat Larry! LOL! Larry~ hope the weather cooperates with you this weekend for your little adventure. Our local stock car racing season starts today, so I am going to the Speedway tonight and watch the guys go hangin' and bangin'! Let's goooo racing!! Have an awesome weekend! xoxo Luv, T-Mouse
Hey there Mr. Lau! Happy weekend! I read some of the reviews of your play and sounds like you are all doing a really GREAT job over there! Congratulations again! Hope you enjoy your time off...Everyone have a great weekend! Here's a quote given to me from an angel and I am not sure it is word for word, but it still has me thinking ..."The farthest thing away is a minute ago." ...quote of the day!...(And Kelly...all "angels" have wings and your helmets have wings.H'mmmmmmmmmm...that's absolutely divine!) Larry, are you up for a quote of the day in your GB?...Nancy @)======
Helloooooooooo Everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kelly, that is great news, congratulations! Tater, I think I may need some help in settin´up some stakes here for our bet. I´m glad you all liked the last Sam day; now, it´s the next chapter! The play is still going great; Nancy, how did you read a review before me? I knew they were out here, but they are in German; we were told they were all very positive and that we would get translated copies at the end of the run; course I shouldn´t be surprized by you anything you set your mind to. No, Nickster, SAG doesn´t cover theatrical (stage) productions, only film, and this show is under British Equity. One of my favorite motto´s is : anyone who tries is a winner. Hams to everyone, Larry.
Larry...I am cracking up here! LOL! I will send them to you, I thought you had seen them...I just went to the theatre's website and found them and ran them thru a free german-english translator on the web. Now, they are "choppy"...not great English...(sort of like my last sentence..LOL!) but I understand them...LOL! You are too funny! It took about 5 minutes to get them all translated! ==> "course I shouldn´t be surprized by you anything you set your mind to"...yeah, I am "funny" like that...LOL!Nancy @)=====
To anyone who cares, (I know some of you are mad at me for sounding off about the Yanks, so, I don't expect you to answer me): Help! Everytime I go to the Website of Vienna's English Theatre to look at the new photos of "The Goat", I keep on having problems with everything freezing up on me. What can I do to keep it from doing that? Is it from too much traffic at the site? I'd really appreciate any help from anyone who isn't holding a grudge against me.
Nanc~ I think the exact phrase is: "Nothing is farther away than a minute ago." OLTLfan~ I was having the same problem of the page loading super slowly and then only one or two pictures coming up. But, if you let it load fully, and say only one or two pictures come up, press reload, and those one or two should come up quickly, and another one will start loading..keep doing that until it all loads. Hope that helps! I hope you all have a BEAUTIFULLY FABULOUS weekend!!! Smiles & Hugs, Jenn
Larry~ did I put too much pressure on you by having you call the shots with this one? LOL! I was kind of worried, because you seemed to be thinking pretty hard about this. You should be getting another "home" package any day now, possibly Monday. I think I wrote some ideas about the bet in my letter... what we could bet on , but not the stakes. I was going to leave that up to you. Tell you what~ I am packing now to go out of town tomorrow for a few days, but I will think about it while I am gone. I will let you know what I come up with when I get back, deal? Cool Beans! Well, I am off to the races after I pack! Have an awesome weekend! xoxo Luv, Tater
Hey Larry....After searching many websites with translations I can understand, I have finally read some of the reviews about The Goat! Go you! From what I've read, and actually understood, they seemed pretty good. Happy Dance! XOXO-Natasha
Hey Larry~ I forgot to ask-- do you have anything special planned for Easter? Since there aren't any shows from Friday thru Monday, you have a little play time. What a perfect time to explore that beautiful city...so rich in history! Have a good one, Larry! xoxo Tater
Jenn in NYC, thanks for trying to help me out, but, everything freezes up on me including the browser buttons. I have to restart my computer all the time. Since I'm not a very patient person, it gets tiresome and frustrating having to restart the computer, especially when I have to wait until it gets through doing a scan for errors on the hard drive, because it wasn't shut down properly. Eeeeeeeek! I hate it. Sometimes I can't understand what's so great about these darn contraptions! >:-<
OLTLFAN...You can go to http://aboutlarry.topcities.com/appearances.html where you will find all of the pictures of the rehearsals and the actual production of Larry's play. The pictures on the theatre's site are huge and take forever to download. I downloaded them, made them smaller and put them on my site with a link to the theatre. If you click on any one of the pictures, you will be brought to a larger version of that picture. They are great..enjoy them..Nancy@)=====
Hallo Everybody! Just got back from our day in the Austrian countryside and it was incredible. We drove along the Danube and then stopped at a restaurant with a deck overhanging the river; the weather was great and the view amazing. Then we hiked along the rivers´ edge and, at one point, we stopped and skipped stones into the Danube. When we returned from the hike we drove to another little village called Dürstein, where we had kaffee and dessert, again overlooking the river; and then we found ourselves at the base of a steep hill, on the top of which was a 11th century castle ruin, which turned out to be the very castle where King Richard the Lionhearted was kidnapped and held for ransom when he was returning from the Crusades. It was too amazing to pass up, so I encouraged everyone to make the trek up the steep and ancient stone path that led all the way to the top where the castle ruins were. Once there, the view literally took your breath away; the Danube wound its way through the mountains and vineyards lined it´s banks and the beautiful little village nestled below with it´s 14th century architecture all combined to make an incredible memory. Then we hiked back down the hill and went to another local establishment that had its own vineyard and we sat outside watching the sun set over a large platter of cheeze and fruit and homemade bread. For our four days off coming up the 18th we´re talking about renting a car and just driving through the country, going where ever we feel like. Sounds good, ja? Hope you´re all good, talk soon, ox, Larry. ps., T*, I´m finding myself a little out of my usual baseball headset cause there isn´t any over here, no American papers, no nothing about baseball, and I only get CNN and the BBC on my TV. So, I´m kind of out of the loop; I suspect I´ll step up to the plate with greater alacrity when I return to the states. Cool beans? LL.
My word Larry... your day sounds incredible! What a tremendous memory to take home with you. Wow! Sounded truly breathtaking! Taking a little road trip on your road trip also sounds pretty great. Good to have some time off and enjoy. After all... time is the only thing you can't get back. Take excellent care. ~Nickster~
Larry~ sounds like you had a pretty awesome day! I hope you got some pictures of all those wonderful sights. As for baseball, sweetie, you just might find something to help you out in the package I sent. I must have been reading your mind! LOL! Our teams don't play each other till after you get back, so we have time to come up with something. I have an idea cooking, so we will just let it simmer awhile, ok? Cool Beans! Well, I am off on my little adventure! Nicky~ I am hoping to make it 3 for 3! Each step I take puts me closer to my goal! Luv, T*
Nancy, thanks for sending me the link to your site! Now I can finally see those photos of the "Goat". Larry: Boy, what a long post! LOL. Are you one of those people who can't stop talking? Just kidding! LOL. I'm glad you had a marvelous time on your off- day taking in the spectacular scenery of the Austrian countryside. I've never visited Austria, but, I watched my Mother's video of "The Sound of Music", and I could see how beautiful it is there. How does it compare to the mountain scenery in the U.S.? Did you remember to bring along your sketch book? There should be a lot of great subjects for you to draw there.
Hey Larry, ... ESPN.com is a great way to keep tabs on your teams.=) Vienna sounds beautiful!Kelly~
Hey Larry...wow, I am so envious! It sounds like you are having a blast in Austria! It sounds really beautiful..I hope you are taking pictures so you never forget it. I am anal about taking pictures on vacation in case you can't tell, lol. This was like, what, the tenth time I've mentioned pictures? Oh well..you're getting 4 days off soon, right? I'm sure you deserve it! Get lots of rest and do some site seeing for me! XOXO-Natasha
Larry: What a extraordinary day! Thanks for sharing that...what a beautiful description! I can almost picture it! Have a great week!......Nancy @)======
Larry _ sounds awesome and really cool Ibet you all had a great time Missy
Wow, Larry thank you for sharing your day with us. It sounds a trip to remember. Nancy, I hope you got my email. I am looking forward to jumping on the band wagon.
Patty: I would imagine you would be taking that "jump" very soon...I will send something out tonight...It is 75 degrees and sunny today...not a cloud in the sky...ab-so-freakin-lutley BEAUTIFUL! I hope everyone gets at least a little bit of sunshine today!.........Nancy@)====
Hi there o' fans of Lau! I went to this site today where I had asked them to put a link to the petition and they did..so thanks soaptownusa.com! They have a page with petitions for different soap characters, etc. Well, Larry's petition had the MOST signatures by far and some of the petitions have been out there for a while..it even beat La Lucci and the cancelled stamp (700) and Robin Strasser (216)! SO....865+ signatures is awesome, but we really have to keep it going...so I am asking YET AGAIN..to pass this on to friends, message boards, etc. Now that we no longer have "oursammy" on OLTL..we have to let TPTB KNOW that we did not forget about Larry or what we want! Jenn sends in the signatures after it increases by 50..and we have to keep doing this OFTEN! If anyone has any ideas about getting it circulating more, great..just let me know...IT IS VERY IMPORTANT that we show TPTB that there is fan support and that it is still there and growing. I am off of my soap box now...thank you, thank you very much..(Elvis)....and teh best part...I get pulled off the stage with a huge hook! LOL! Nancy @)======
"Where, oh where, can Larry be?": Where, oh where, can Larry be? Oh where, oh where, can he be? He hasn't posted since Sunday. Oh where, oh where, can he be? "Larry Boy": Oh, where have you gone, Larry boy, Larry boy? Oh, where have you gone, darling Larry? He's too busy with his play, hasn't posted since Sunday. He'll post when he isn't too busy. Your feathered fan, Twee Twee. ;-)
Hello from Sauk City, Wisconsin! I am a little ways from home, but I am having a blast! Spent some time by the river today, and saw an incredible sight-an eagle flying around overhead! What a majestic creature- such an inspirational sight! Larry~ I was wondering if in your travels around Vienna, you might have found a place to get a little golf practice in? Not that you need a lot of practice, of course! LOL! Did you find anything interesting in that American bookstore you found? Just curious! I hope all is well with you, and that the play is going well! Take care!xoxo T*
Hallo! First, just let me thank Lisa H. for the easter goodies package; it was very thoughtful and very much appreciated. There was so much, and being as I opened it in front of the rest of the cast and crew, I could not not share it with them; so just know you made a bunch of people happy. And thank you, also, for your letter and the kind thoughts it contained. Well, sports fans, you´ll never guess whatb happened last Monday: the actor who plays my best friend in the play was running after a Tram in downtown Vienna, tripped on a curb and broke his ankle! He´s in a huge cast, has to hobble around on crutches, and won´t get fitting with a walking cast until next Tuesday. So, we´ve been closed all week! There was no understudy; we are in the process of rehersing a new actor to fill the role just in case (Phil) isn´t ready by next Tuesday. As they say, welcome to live theatre! Everything else is great; the weather is perfect; Vienna is even more beautiful when the sun is out; going on a road trip for four days starting tomorrow. T*, thanx for the mags and the sugar free candies, much appreciated. Hope you´re having a good time on your trip. And Nancy, thanks for the latest material; it´s always a treat to receive your packages and updates, thanks so much. Hope everybody has a great Easter weekend, all my best, oxoxo, Larry.
Hey Larry, sorry to hear Phil got hurt. I hope he's ready to go by Tuesday! We were talking about that last night, but no one really knew what happened. Thanks for letting us know! Now, you be careful running after those tricky Trams, deal? Hope you're enjoying your time off. Happy Easter all! XOXO-Natasha
Larry~ I sent sugar-free candy because I thought you were sweet enough! I am glad you liked the magazines- put your seat in the upright position and buckle your seatbelt, because more fun is on it's way! Yes, I am having a lot of fun on this trip...maybe too much fun! LOL! But there aren't any pictures for evidence(of course!), and the law hasn't caught up to me yet, so it's all good! Please wish Phil a speedy recovery for me, what an awful thing to happen! I hope you have have an excellent adventure on your 4 day trip through Austria. Have a safe trip and have a wonderful Easter! xoxo Luv, T*
I just wanted to wish everyone a belated Happy Passover and a Happy Easter! I hope you eat lots and lots of chocolate bunnies (but, only the candy kind!) Larry~ You are missing some great subway ads right now...my new favorite for TimeOut NY (there are 4 different ads, I remember 3 of them): From Two Boots to Jimmy Choos, From De La Renta to De La Guarda, and From Da Vinci to Da Bronx. I just love that...and I read them and stare at them everyday, because what else is there to do on the subway besides read the ads and look for cute guys? Hugs for EVERYONE...Jenn
Hello Everybody!! I just got back from my most excellent adventure, so I thought I would pop in to say "Howdy"! Geezo Peezo, there really is no place like home! I just want to wish everyone a safe and happy and healthy Easter! My son's birthday is also on Sunday, so it will be party central around here! Have a wonderful weekend and remember- "SomeBunny" loves you! Larry~ I hope your 4 day adventure is as much fun as mine was! LOL! Take care! xoxo Luv, Taterbunny
Hi Larry~ Your Welcome. I'm just very happy the box FINALLY made it. I was beginning to worry because I mailed it over 2 weeks ago. It must of traveled on the slow boat to Vienna. I'm glad you shared all the goodies with the cast and crew. Your hike last weekend sounded absoutley amazing. I can only imagine the beautiful sites you'll be seeing on this four day road trip. This whole adventure is going to leave you with some great memories that will always be with you. Have a great time and can't wait to hear about all of it. Be safe. XO Lisa
Hi Larry, I'm sorry to hear about your castmate getting injured while trying to catch a Tram there in Vienna. I can't stand to think about someone breaking any kind of bone in their bodies. It sounds too painful. I've never experience that kind of injury myself, and I hope I never do. Yikes! I've been worried about your four-day trip. I hope you guys drive carefully, and don't take foolish chances. PS: I know you don't really care what I have to say in my posts, but, I'll keep on posting nonetheless. :-/ & :-< To the others --> Are the things you send Larry, store-bought, or homemade items? Just wondering.
Hello Everyone, Wanted to wish ALL of you a Happy Blessed Easter weekend! Larry, Im so sorry to hear about your castmate, how awful:-( My prayers are with him.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Easter!
Happy Easter everyone! Just wanted to report that I survived my knee surgery, but I still have a long way to go before it's over. Of course, the pain is more intense the day afterward. I'm propping my leg up and catching up on some DVDs and hockey games! Larry--sounds like you're enjoying yourself in Vienna. Thanks for the updates! Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! Patti xoxoxo

"We once had a lily here that bore 108 flowers on one stalk: It was photographed naturally for all the gardening papers.The bees came from miles and miles, and there were the most disgraceful Bacchanalian scenes: Bees hardly able to find their way home." Edith Sitwell~ Happy Easter to everyone! =) Kelly~
Happy Easter, Larry and everone! XOXO-Natasha
Hey Everyone... HAPPY EASTER..... Angela
Helloooo!! Wishing everyone awesome chocolate bunnies and jelly beans dreams!! I hope everyone had a safe and happy Easter. Larry~ I hope your trip around Austria has been a fun-filled adventurous one, and you had a "hoppy" Easter! Take care! xoxo Luv, T*
Happy Day after Easter! I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! And for Mr. World Traveler, hope you had a great time traveling! Did you visit any surrounding countries, or was "justAustria" plenty? Sounds like another great adventure Larry! I was able to spend time with "girls" with weekend! My sister and my nieces...it was awesome! I do too many boy things I think! I actually went shopping for dresses...not jeans, boxers and socks! YAHOO! A very nice diversion! Have a great week everyone! Nancy @)=====
Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. Nanc, you went dress shopping without me? So not fair! And Jenn, I think your magic theory is a load of b.s.! Why do they smell so good and act like such jerks? Whatever! LOL! It was a great Easter anyway, the best in a very long time. Still counting my blessings. Have a fabulous day everyone. Kelly~
Kel~I have no "magic" theory, BUT...keep trying to find the one that smells good AND isn't a jerk...they are out there. And, if worse comes to worse...just give lots of hugs out and it'll make you feel better! Also...maybe third times the charm! Mucho, mucho love...Jenn
Larry~ Hellooooo!Hope your adventure was most excellent!! How is Phil doing? I see he has been replaced by Howard Nightingall. Is it temporary, or will he finish out the run? Howard has a very impressive resume! I hope things are still going well with the play! BTW...the Yankees are 16-3! Go Yankees! Have a wonderful day! xoxo T*
Howdy all... so nice to hear everyone's Easter went well. I just enjoyed the long weekend!! Had a glass of wine and made smelly candles with some great friends. (Lets just say hot wax and wee bit of alcohol can be a strange mix.) Had a blast on the patio in terrific weather! Looking forward to May Day now! Cavort! Cavort! Spring is definately in the air... and I swear I'm going to hit the weather man if he dares to use that 'f' word again! Larry hope your days off were terrific and you got to take in a lot of the wonders of the area! Hope your return to the stage tonight goes well, and your new cast member knocks them dead. Take care... and be well.
Farmer Larry is suing a trucking company over injuries he suffered in an auto accident.The company's lawyer begins his cross-examination. "Is it true that at the accident scene you said "I'm fine? "Let me explain," pleads Farmer Larry. "I had loaded my goat Sylvia into the trailer and was drivng down the road when this truck crashed into us. I was hurt bad. When the trooper came upon the scene, he heard Sylvia moaning. He took one look at her, pulled out his gun and shot her right between the eyes. Then he walked over to me with his gun and asked,"Your goat was in such bad shape I had to shoot her. How are you"? *** Larry~ I hope everyone is happy and healthy in your part of the world! Things are "just ducky" here! Take care and enjoy life! xoxo ~Tater~
Hey T*--> You are just filled with sunshine and giggles today aren't you?! LOL! Oh my! Have a most spectacular weekend everyone! ;')
Larry: Hey...just hey! How ya' doin?...Nancy @)====
Larry, where are you? Gee, Larry hasn't posted more than a week now. I hope things are fine with him. I've been thinking that he and his fellow castmates, probably had to spend extra time rehearsing with the new member of the cast who had to take over for the injured Phil. What do you guys think? A worried OLTLfan. :-/
Hi Everyone! Sorry I haven't posted recently. Things have been a bit hectic around here. Since the bust season for my pet sitting business is here I haven't been online much. I hope all is well for you Larry and Ladies. Love ya all bunches, Kate XXXOOO's
