[Jane]

Jane, so very sorry.

Thank you.

[George]

Well, this is interesting...comments by DRs ChasSmith, Singdaw and John have shown up on the Deadline article, but mine still hasn't.

[George]

I posted a comment many hours ago on Deadline that didn’t get approved.

I'm curious, Rodzinski.  Did you enter an e-mail address? 

[George]

And did ChasSmith, Singdaw and John?  I don't know if that made a difference, but it's something to ponder.

[Rodzinski]

I saw Planet of the Apes on the CBS late night movie or something when I was a kid. Blew my mind. Although the big gotcha moment with the doll always made me laugh. As if humans haven’t had many hundreds of toys of talking animals!

[Rodzinski]

I did, George. It was a Hotmail one. Maybe those get rejected?

[Rodzinski]

Later, in the late ‘70s, Chicago’s ABC affiliate would have “Apes Week” as part of the after-school 3:30 Movie (before afternoon TV was all newsmagazines and court shows). I watched the first five movies on there. Diminishing returns by the time Paul Williams showed up as an ape. I never saw the TV show, but my sister did have a gigantic puzzle from it. Like 3x4 feet with giant pieces.

The remakes look like shit with worse fx, and I never watched them and never will.

[Jane]

I suppose the first in the series is my favorite, though it has been a long time since I have watched them.

[Jane]

I enjoyed the reboot.  It really feels like a different story.

[Jane]

I see that Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes will be released in 2024.

[Jane]

I wish I would stop sneezing.

[Jane]

All the Planet of the Apes movies are rather sad.

On a sidenote, DR JohnG, James Agee, author of "Knoxville: Summer of 1915" and "Sure on this shining night," was considered by Hellman and bernstein for the lyrics to Candide.

Dropped some food off for FIL. He was sleeping and never knew I was there. Then to the hospital to check on MIL. Quite disconcerting. She’s such a proud woman, and hospital life just takes all of that away. Her pride also prevents her from telling nurses what’s wrong or asking for help. She can’t get out of bed by herself. Can’t see very well. Won’t eat. I don’t even know how we’ll get her home if they say she can leave. It’s bad.

Pierre Boulle, the French author who wrote Planet of the Apes, also wrote The Bridge Over the River Kwai.

[Rodzinski]

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is such a terrible title!

This sounds very hard.  Do your in-laws have any help at home?  My father had someone who cared for him at home.  When he was in the hospital she went with him to make sure he received the care he needed.

[Jane]

It must be doubly hard for Mrs. Rodzinski not being able to go to the hospital.

[Jane]

We no longer have to feel guilty about not going to a funeral as there won't be one.

We have a short bench here, as they say in sports. Nobody backing us up. We’ve been wanting to get them a helper or have them move to a safer place, but they never wanted to admit they had gotten to this point. They’ve been one fall away from this outcome for a couple years, and here we are. It’s why we moved here, to be close, and to help, but it’s now worse than we can handle.

[Rodzinski]

In Canada things like setting up home care visits and whatnot are very slow processes.

[Jane]

It doesn't sound like they can hire someone on their own.

[Jane]

You can only do so much, especially when you have young children.  I understand their hesitancy to admit they need help and hope they now realize they need it.

[Jane]

Nice clip in the notes.

[Jane]

The sound was actually good on my computer, which was a pleasant surprise.

[Jrand74]

Vibes for DR RODZINSKI & his family in dealing with a sad situation.

[George]

I did, George. It was a Hotmail one. Maybe those get rejected?

I didn't put in an e-mail at all.

[Jane]

My last sneezing attack was only seven in a row, much better than the 20 I have been doing 

[Jane]

Keith said he will pop corn tonight.  I hope it tastes good.  Everything tastes bad but I need to eat.  I already lost over a pound and my weight is too low.  Eating is making me sick, more than usual.
