Happy birthday to DS Jayson!

[Jeanne]

I think I shall greatly enjoy SAVING MR. BANKS. But it will likely be on pay-per-view or Blu-Ray, rather than in a theater. I just have no patience for rude audiences in public anymore. Alas.   

I can certainly relate to that.

[Jeanne]

TCB, I meant to thank you for posting the photos and to mention how pleased I was to see you return to acting.

[Jane]

Thank you very much DR's Cilla, Ginny & Jeanne.

[Jeanne]

Go to an afternoon matinee on a school day.  I find those audiences are generally better. But not always

Ditto. Some matinees are quite empty, other filled with seniors who can't stop talking. But your chances are still better.

[Jane]

Anyway, sorry, I am really not trying to play the "poor me" card,

I got that.

[Jane]

Callie has been hanging around with me a lot.  I think she's happy that I didn't have anyone else try to give her meds.  She's not having any problems, so it all worked out ok

Good.

Just off the phone with Richard Sherman - for Christmas I gave him something he's asked for for several months - a lyric he could set.  He loved it, made a few additions so his music worked better for it, which I'm fine with, and he just sang it to me over the phone - pure Sherman and very much like a Sherman Brothers song, which was my intention.  I think we'll record it soon.

[Jeanne]

Perhaps most of you are better off only knowing me on the internet; and those I've met, only seeing my in small doses.  Considering the number of friends who have abandoned me, or at the very least distanced themselves from me since this whole handicap things started; I can't help but think that I have become a negative person to be around, or perhaps too demanding of my friends. I am not fool enough to think that I am practically perfect and they are all heartless so and so's.

If this is true, and i think it is; I need to find one of those mirrors that shows you the truth, instead of what you want to see.  Othewise, it is going to be a cold and lonely old age.

Tom, I think you're misinterpreting it. I suspect they see your condition and think, "There but for the grace of God..." and turn away because they cannot cope with the thought of having to do what you're doing. It may have nothing to do with YOU at all. It's your condition. Completely unfair, of course. As someone with health problems myself, I can truly say: you find out who your friends are.

As difficult as it is to be positive at times, it is certainly worth the effort. Not just because it makes you more congenial, but because it just makes life easier.

[ChasSmith]

That is fantastic, BK.

[Jeanne]

Boy they sure make this thing sound like perfection.  I rather doubt that it works this well.

Are you thinking of getting one?

I can't imagine that they could work, they are just a machine. 

A vacuum cleaner is just a machine, is it not?

My relaxing Christmas Day was marred late last night when the two twenty-somethings next door once again could not stop celebrating. They like to have friends over and they get very LOUD. I've asked them repeatedly to quiet down by 11pm. California law states 10pm, but I'd be happy with 11:00. The previous discussions were polite; last night's was not. I am at the end of my patience with this. It has gone on the entire four years that I've lived here and the manager has made it clear that she does not want to be bothered. She told me it was my problem. Last night my neighbor said that 11pm isn't late and that I'm fussing over nothing, that I am the only one bothered by it and why should they change just to suit me (ALL of us who live near them have complained), and that I'm treating them like children. I treat them the same way I'd treat anyone making this much noise and showing so little respect for others, but they do act like children.

What is wrong with people? I think their age has a lot to do with it. They are clearly in denial, insisting that they are not noisy. I hate to call the police for such matters, but I may have to next time.

Aside from not having a yard for a dog, rude neighbors were a problem in our apartment in the valley.  One night just as I was about to go next door and complain about the noise the neighbors broke into a chorus of Happy Birthday.  I just shook my head and put a pillow over it.  I decided to wait for the next party to complain.

We had another set of very sweet older neighbors that were apparently deaf the way they yelled at each other and fought.  They were the early morning noise makers.  One morning I knocked on their door and sweetly, obviously have awake, asked them to be a bit quieter.  The man apologized for waking me then turned to his wife and began shouting that she woke me up and it continued-lol  I never complained to them again.

I'm sure there were times we were loud with our friends.  We tried though and asked everyone to keep it down, especially leaving at night.

[Jeanne]

Anyway, sorry, I am really not trying to play the "poor me" card, only being honest about myself.  I think I am probably more short-tempered than I used to be.

No one's at their best when they're in pain.

Very good! I was hoping a collaboration was in the works, but if you're Richard Sherman maybe help isn't needed. I guess it sometimes is. Anxious to hear it.

MEGA VIBES EVERYONE

It's tough when you're all living so close together. I'm quiet to start with, but I also don't use the garbage disposal or blender early in the morning or late at night. I try to be quiet and considerate. Some people don't make the effort. Some people are just loud (including said neighbor). IMHO, it is not unreasonable to ask people to quiet down late at night.

Are you starting to feel sick?  Vibes you feel better soon.

Vibes to DR Ginny's mother and coping vibes to Ginny and all who need them.

DR George, thank you for the lovely item that arrived in today's mail!

A new Mercedes?

Well you are delight to be around here.  Perhaps you should try to make everyone laugh when you see them. You certainly make me smile and laugh a lot.

Thanks, Cilla.  Thanks, everyone.

[TCB]

Ditto on what Cilla said

Thank you, Jane.

It was 50 degrees here today!!! ABOVE 0

50 degrees??  Two days ago it was what?  Below zero?

[Jeanne]

I've long felt that one of the hardest parts of getting older is that we lose people we care about. I am now watching a good friend decline. She was always so healthy! But she now has a systemic inflammatory condition that is causing all sorts of havoc. The drug she's taking helps her breathing, but is ruining her eyesight. The doctors keep telling her it won't, but it is. I've encouraged her to consider other options, but I don't think she's done so. It's very difficult to watch.

[Jeanne]

DR George, thank you for the lovely item that arrived in today's mail!

I thought it was a Lexus. (With a big red bow.)

Thank you.  I'm fighting a cold and I fear I'm losing the battle.  The last two night I have taken half a benadryl.  Tonight I plan on taking a whole one as it is settling in my ears and chest.
