FEEL-BETTER VIBES TO JANE!

[Jeanne]

Vibes, too, to anyone I missed.

FEEL-BETTER VIBES TO ELMORE!

[Jeanne]

I have decided that this December - now that it is December - that my mission will be doing errands for my working friends.....I have let it be known that if anything needs to be picked up or purchased or driven to, I would be glad to do it.....just make sure it's on my schedule in a timely manner.....although I do expect a couple of emergency runs.....

What a nice thing to do! A great help to people who have too much on their plates.

run the hat and mitten drive

I thought that said "run the hat and mutton drive", and was about to put it on my calendar.

Wait. Vixmom types something perfectly and then it's misREAD?

I know, righth?

I guess it was so unexpected he was trying to figure Out what I really meangt

[vixmom]

run the hat and mitten drive

Vixmom, I wish I could win the Lotto, for your sake as well as mine!

from your lips to God's ear! 

[vixmom]

I wish it was possible to just go back to celebrating the reason for Christmas and skip all the shopping, the parties, the giving gifts just for the sake of giving something to everyone.

I think next year I will do this... first though I need to get me a wife

[vixmom]

FEEL-BETTER VIBES TO VIXMOM!

thank you!

[Cillaliz]

Not sure what time zone this is in or whether the time may be different where you are, but this is a handy list of Christmas specials.

Vibes to all and to all a good night

[Cillaliz]

Samantha wants us all to go to her house on Christmas day and eat frozen pizza so no one has to cook.  I get her point, but having a great meal is one of the things I love about the holidays

WTH??  This is "I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here" from the new "updated" Annie movie...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICjR8EX8ShY

well watching the new Annie is something I can take right off my  to do list  that frees up some time

The melody for the original was probably my favorite from the show, so this one doesn't measure up. But I think Quvenzhané Wallis looks great and I have a feeling she'll make a wonderful Annie. Her own, not the comic strip, which no one under 40 remembers anymore. Actually not too many under 50 remember the comic strip; the original show, yes.

[Cillaliz]

i better sleep too.  I have a ton of work to do tomorrow......which is a good thing as long as I get it done

I was going to say "I remember" but then I'm over 50....

[Jeanne]

Vixmom, can you use the volunteer sign-up strategy again at church? No one could do all that and keep their sanity.

I'm over 50 and I don't remember it. It could have been simply that the two newspapers in town didn't carry the comic strip.

[Cillaliz]

I don't like the idea that you're taking a show based on a specific comic strip and a different time and modernizing it but still calling it the same thing.  It isn't the same thing. Why hijack someone else's creativity? Why not create a new story or modernize it but don't still call it Annie and use the same songs.   i don't even want to get started on this or I'll get really politically incorrect.  I just wish people would either stick to the original concept and script or make up their own story.

[John G.]

Vibes for those in need.

My mom was born in 1927, so she talked about Little Orphan Annie and I had a couple books about Little Orphan Annie

End of rant for now.   There are so many things I could rant about.  But I won't.

Like when spell-check miscorrects. (It's telling me right now that "miscorrects" isn't a word. But we all know it is.)

[Cillaliz]

Vibes to those who need them....feel better.....be safe.....be warm.....be happy!

I think it's time to go get some sleep.  Night all

[Jeanne]

I have downsized my holiday activities considerably. It started when I realized I just couldn't do it all anymore. Too much work to put up the tree and decorations and too much work to take it all down again. Since I'm no longer in a corporate environment I avoid the company Christmas parties and the secret Santa stuff. I don't miss any of that. I do exchange presents with a few people--all adults--but we don't spend large sums on it. Most of my friends don't really need anything and probably feel as I do. Christmas is fun for the kids, but I feel it's a very different thing for adults.

[Jeanne]

Three little pennies sittin' on the sill...

[Jeanne]

Jack's telling me to be patient.

[Jeanne]

Do I have to buy a lottery ticket?

[Jeanne]

Good night.

I agree. I have scaled back, too. I think I just want to rest for Christmas.

Maybe it's the five hours tonight of dance classes and getting ready for Saturday.
