Haines His Way

I bet we would be getting some cherce notes if MR BK was cast in a tv series, I bet......

The first story has to do with a warning I got in my sleep or so I thought. Normally my parents dogs and my cat would sleep with me back in the 90s. This event happened in 1997. I was sleeping and woke up with the sound of growling coming from the corner of the bed. When I tried to sit up I could not and felt a gentle hand on my shoulder and I heard Keith's voice as he was warning about a guy I was dating and told me to leave him for my life was in danger.  

Oddly he was right a week later, the guy tried to smash my face and at that instance I heard his voice saying, I warned you and I tried to protect. Keith at this time had been dead for 8 years. He died in 1989 from complications from AIDS.

A could of months Later, I was chatting with Sandy and told her about my experience and she said she was not surprised. That year she had the family christmas and a lot of rellies were coming fromout of town and she showed Dusty pictures of different relatives. Up until this time she had never shown pictures of of her twin brother Keith. Dusty piped up and said "he comes to visit me." He recognized who Keith was before Sandy could even tell him. His mannerisms are a lot like Keiths.

To this day I keep teasing Sandy that if her underwear end up in the freezer, we can blame Keith.


I do have another odd experience and it was when my grandmother died in 1999. She had been suffering from Alzheimers for 10 years and was in the home in Mayville. THe family had been called together and she continued to linger despite complications. For some odd reason in the back of my mind she was waiting to be told that it was okay to go. I went down one Sunday after breakfast and chatted with her a bit and gave her permission. Later that night, we got a call from the nursing home that her fever had spiked. About 720 pm the clock on my computer stopped and a cold chill went up my spine. I knew she was gone.  Roughly a half hour later the home called my parents to tell them that she had died but I already knew. It was very odd.

Warnings from the other side should always be acknowledged, DR DAKOTACELT.....

You did the right thing in both cases you wrote about.  People with lives cut short for whatever reason usually spend a lot of time cleaning up after themselves before moving on.....but mostly making sure things are all right.

I always liked Hamish Linklater's House Party.  And Hamish Linklater's People Are Funny - where they matched people up for dates using that big Univac Computer!

Are they father and son? Grandson? Uh, I don't think so.

 

Good Evening!

I'm back from the theatre.  What a surprisingly dramatic and interesting (in a good sense) play The Runner Stumbles is.  I had no idea about what the play was about before going to tonight - only that it was on Broadway before, and that a movie was made of it too - and it left me with quite a bit to think about.  It's basically a courtroom drama with a lot of Catholicism and Humanness.  -And that's a very simplistic statement about the show.  But I had a good time, and it was nice seeing my friend, Chris, on stage for the first time.

I am very disappointed. I bought candy, stayed home, and not ONE trick or treater. I saw a few walking down the street but they never came to the house. We even put lights out to guide their way.

Perhaps it was because last weekend was the neighborhood fall festival, and all the kids wear their costumes and parade thru the neighborhood, and they also get a lot of candy. But now I have 5 bags of candy to deal with.

I tried to find candy that my DH would like and I wouldn't, (Peanut MM's, Kit-Kats, etc.) but I discovered that there are very few types of candy that were availabled that I wouldn't like.

Oh dear...

DR Noel - ~~~~~HEALING HAND VIBES~~~~~

And I have a bird I plan to spatchcock...

Is there any "Spathcocking" music?

Maybe something by P. D. Q. Bach?

Well, it's close to 9:00 pm and I should be getting home. I've been dinking around for far too long.  All the trick-or-treaters should be done by now...I would hope.

Off to TV watching.

Even though I have some candy left over, I did go through about twelve bags.

DR Jane, but how could she be overwhelmed. She never even got her costume on or went out. I just wanted her to see what it was. Even if she did like it or had to leave after one house. I just wanted her to make it outside!

Jennifer - isn't she just TWO?  What is it about TWO you do not understand?

der Brucer

TWO is not really something you understand, it's something you endure.

I am still fighting with the Shada tape.... Yours is fine...

I had a very plesasant Halloween. About 17 trick or treaters. It was nice. I also got the writing done and electronically filed and Callie...OMG the girl is playing with toys, jumping in the air and reliving her kittyhood.  Boo is a little miffed.  It's really quite amazing. Callie hasn't wanted to play in at least a couple years and all of a sudden.  I told her her blood tests were good, but of course she didn't understand...did she?

For some odd reason the Shada tape is transferring really wacky and the color drops out. However I did notice it did have lines  of deterioration in the original tape. The audio is fine....
