I hope that 2015 is all that all DRs could want, with special emphasis on DRs Elmore and Mike.

I don't like New Year's Eve.

When I was a kid I was on a ocean liner with my older sister on my way to Athens to meet our parents when a tidal wave swamped the ship and we turned over. Only six of us survived. What I learned from this don't be an extra or bit player in life you have a better chance of living.

How horrible! Was your sister one of the survivors?

Then I found out we'd won something called The Gold Bonus Disc Award from The Second Disc website (a terrific website, by the way) for our soundtrack release of It's a Wonderful Life. I had no idea they even gave awards so I went back and looked at previous years and what did I find? In 2013 we won the award for cast album reissue, A Time for Singing. In 2012 we won the same award for the Follies remix and reissue. And in 2011, the first year the awards were given, we won in both cast album AND soundtrack categories for Gone With the Wind and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Who knew??? http://theseconddisc.com/2014/12/30/the-year-in-reissues-the-2014-gold-bonus-disc-awards/

You never got any actual statues?? Well, what good is an award if you don't get a statue?

I concur!

This morning, I finally saw the young lady above me. We talked about the dog. She was sympathetic, but I honestly doubt she'll do anything about it.

Step #1: The Friendly Talk. No, nothing changes, but you are paving the way. The nicer you are--at least at this stage-- the guiltier she'll feel and the more inclined she'll be to making the needed changes.

I assume you've heard nothing more from the landlord?

The soup is consumed and they are playing games. I am washing the dishes. Well, at the moment I am on the innerwebs, but I was washing dishes a few minutes ago. I sneaked over to the office to run off the bulletins for this weekend.

The par-tay has started.

The fireworks have begun. It is 8:09 p.m.

With temperatures again expected to be in the single digits, Precious is wearing her thin sweater. She likes to be stylish, and I don't take a chance on her impatience in the morning if I want to put on the leash AND the sweater.

We have had no fireworks or shotguns yet.....but we have one hour and fifty minutes to go.

I hope to really do some writing this year. And I hope to do some theater in Indianapolis, too. I spoke about both of these things last New Year's Eve, but I really didn't do anything to make it happen.

And rarely does someone knock on someone's door to ask them to write a play or be in a show......

I decided I would watch a few episodes of House Hunters.

That's one of my favorite shows

I am looking forward to ANTIGONE which begins rehearsals in February for me......and directing BAD SEED for production in July.

In other news, my brother in law helped my mom clean out her refrigerators, freezer and some of her cupboards. They had 11 garbage bags full of expired stuff. Mom still doesn't believe that an expiration date means much, but at least it's done. That's a huge deal. I was going to drive up to help her Mom is so funny, my brother in law is about the only person she will let help her clean things out. This is a big start toward easing my concerns

I'm glad to hear this. I understand how difficult it can be to let go of things--yes, even old food, sometimes. It's so good there's someone she feels comfortable doing this with.

I haven't watched it much in the past year or so DR CILLA LIZ, so these episodes are new to me.

Hello Boys and Girls, I am days and days behind in posts and have no idea when or if I will ever catch up

As I read about the experience of other Dear Readers, I know that I am facing some decisions involving my parents. My father will be 89 in March and my mother just turned 83.

I hate to think about what will happen when one or the other goes....not that it is any more imminent than it was this time last year.

I know that I will be inclined to sell the house....but after being here almost 50 years, it is not something I look forward to. It would take a lot of work, and certainly it isn't the type of house anyone is in the market for. I don't want to be a landlord and deal with those problems either.

So we shall see.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #170 on:** December 31, 2014, 07:18:03 PM »

Reading about the experiences of other Dear Readers I realize how lucky I am to have both of my parents still living when I am at this advanced age.

I will be 65 in August, and I have to come to the realization that I have less life ahead of me than I have behind me....and make the very best of the time ahead.

That is some tale of a package DR CILLA LIZ.....I think it should be a Sherlock Holmes story.

I just don't get it.

Can the Post Office confirm that she doesn't live there?

It is such a pleasure to have an oasis of fun and sanity here at HHW to adjourn to at particular times of the day.

I have a melody for which I need to come up with a lyric. I really like the melody, which I actually wrote for PennyO's Little Trouper show, but since we never actually did that, I'm fine with appropriating it and writing a new lyric to it for the Sami thing. I just have to get the old lyric out of my head completely.
