A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
Google it, play the video from Power of Positivity, online.
Although I have never watched scary movies, "The Terminator", "Whatever Happened to BabyJane", and "Arsenic and Old Lace" comes to mind. Lol.
Well, I did see that last one....
Thank you for being so kind and commenting during this difficult time.
Can you all hear those purse strings zipping closed? Who would have ever thought it was Peter Pan we should fear more than Captain Hook? And, I am not Tinkerbelle in that movie!

A cultural icon whose music is addictive. Despite it being somewhat sexist I like the 2007 video best, I think stompin Tom would have too.
"In a little while from now,
If I'm not feeling any less sour,
I promise myself to treat myself
To visit a nearby tower"
That was Gilbert O'Sullivan and we need you here, Send.
Wait til he hears the chipmunks sing, "Oh say can you see!" by the stars early light, happening NOW, 8:17 p.m. So. Cal.
Happy fourth, even if anyone is alone and lonely tonight!
"Glad to be an American, where at least I once was free!"
"O, Say can you see, by the dawn's early light"
The spirit is willing, Jesse, but the flesh is weak.
Looking up Born Free-I think Andy Williams sang that too! Or, was it the BOSS?
Thanks for sharing your time with me, Jesse!
The fireworks seem like they are right out front! Stiil loud, 9:16 p.m. Doubt very much the drunkest, loudest revelers even know what the holiday is for!
Alone Again Naturally was released when I was seven or eight and it made me sob my heart out. Still does form a lump in my throat. It was that verse:
"I remember I cried when my father died
never wishing to hide the tears.
At sixty five years old
my mother, God rest her soul,
couldn't understand
why the only man
she had ever loved had been taken,
leaving her to start
with a heart
so badly broken. Despite encouragement from me
no words were ever spoken;
and when she passed away
I cried and cried all day...
Alone again, naturally."
You can imagine the horror hearing that would cause an insecure little girl. Gilbert O' Sullivan was phenomenally successful in the early 70s then dropped off the radar, apparently as the result of getting caught out by a rat-bag business manager who essentially robbed his considerable fortune. He was back, though, a little while ago. Don't know if there have been new releases.
had their own show, singing "I am a little bit country, he's a little bit rock and roll".
Even though it was mostly corny, I enjoyed the little bit aspect of country; and little bit of rock and roll because too much of either was not my taste. However, when Andy sang with the Righteous Brothers, he could keep up! (They damped down)--it was a very conservative show, after all.
The vet is right: you'll know when. Meanwhile, gather the memories. Big hugs x
