BTW, Kristin Chenoweth was a HOOT last night as the dental assistant on "Ugly Betty."

I forgot to mention how much i enjoyed her as well.

I also wanted to post re: is he or isn't he dead.

When i posted before i did not know this. But apparently there had been news going around that someone would die.  So I think we can say he is most likely dead.

Oh and I had not read DR Cillaliz's post when i just posted.

I guess I am suspect of any cliff-hanger ending where it appears that something happened, but it isn't made absolutely clear.  

Back from too much dinner.  Must now watch a DVD.

Is this a slow news day here at haineshisway.com?  Get WITH it, people!

DR Danise. Your mother may have chosen to leave you as you slept.
Grief is so personal, so is loss and so is the choice of when to leave.  The love you had and have for your Mother is what is important.


My thoughts are with you.

Well folks, it's over.

My mother passed away sometime around five this afternoon.

I say sometime because her "wonderful" daughter wasn't with her when she passed.

Her "wonderful" daughter was asleep in the chair.

Her "wonderful" self centered, bitch of a daughter wasn't there for her when ishe really needed her and when t really mattered.  

I am so upset with myself right now I could scream.

DR Danise, why are you being so hard on yourself? I was asleep when my dad died in Feb.  He didn't need me at all and I doubt seriously your mother needed you then. You have been a fantastic daughter; your mother knows it, I know it, everyone here on HHW knows it, and God almighty knows it. Stop beating yourself up.

We love you and send our sympathy.  I'm know you're in pain, but I want you to be good to yourself.

I can't even spell God correctly.  I know I'm going to hell.

Have a wonderful time and have a truffle parmesaen fry for me!!!

They didn't have any tables available until; 9:30 so we ate at the nearby pasta place, which is always sort of boring to me but the boys like it.

Since we were also celebrating the LFB's birthday, our attentive waiter noticed him opening a birthday card and brought us a big piece of tiramisu with a candle in it at the end of the meal. Fortunately, no singing ensued.

Now I know if I go there again on someone's birthday, be sure to give them their card at the table!

We will try the JCT when we can plan ahead.

DR Danise, as soon as you finish up all the immediate things that have to be accomplished - and there will be a lot at the moment - get some good sleep in your own bed before the next part of the roller coaster begins.  All I can wish for you is that it goes smoothly.

Congratulations on your millstone, DR Ron P!

Ron P. on his millstone?

A sight to see, indeed!

DR Danise - You've been there, and you were there.  Over the past couple of weeks, there was never a moment when you were not there for your mother.  If you need to scream, then scream - get it out of your system.  Don't carry that around with you.  You did nothing wrong, and I'm sure your mother would not want you to be to mad at yourself.  You've been the true embodiment of Unconditional Love.  I wish you nothing but Peace, Love and Understanding.

Oh my, I just caught up to DR Danise's post.

((((((Danise)))))

I echo what the others have said. I have read your posts the last few weeks and have felt a little guilty just thinking about when my mother's time comes and knowing that I wouldn't be half as dedicated as you were to your mom's care. I just would never even have the physical stamina you did to take this on with such grace and courage. The lengths you went to to be there for her leave me in awe. I don't think many people are fortunate to have someone as devoted as you by their side. Even though you may have been asleep, I'm sure she knew  you were there, and maybe she was asleep, too!

You did all you could and gave her a great quality of life for her last days with you, and you should never feel anything but proud for what you were able to do for her. The fact that you were there is what matters.

((((Love and light to you, Danise!))))

I had also read someone was going to die. I assumed it was going to be Betty's father. I'm glad it wasn't.

I began the evening watching VENUS. It certainly hit home with my family as my uncle married a woman much younger than himself when his first wife died. I saw where the film was going very quickly with just that spark in O'Toole's eye when he spied "Venus"/Jessie.

To be honest, I think Leslie Phillips got gypped out of an Oscar nomination in the supporting category. He's O'Toole's equal in all their scenes together and makes his quirky character every bit as memorable as O'Toole's.

Next, I watched SON OF FURY. Excellent adventure film (I never realized that George Sanders had such a strong build on him. Always thought him rather reedy, but not here. Very muscular, much more so than Tyrone).

Yes, DR JRand, Miss Frances did just fine as her two-faced character. Loved Harry Davenport. I found his performance very moving indeed.

I'm so excited. Tomorrow night - BECKET!!! How fabulous to see that again after many decades away from it.
