OBITUARIES!

 

WELL,  LISA MARIE DIED AND THAT GOT ME THINKING ABOUT DEATH WHICH MADE ME MENTION MY OBITUARY POSTS WHICH MADE ME GO CHECK OUT MY LATEST STASH! I WAS QUITE SURPRISED TO FIND HOW MUCH I'VE GOT IN THAT FOLDER.

DISCLAIMER: AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, I MAY BE MAKING FUN OF THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE'S NAMES OR SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR FACE OR THEIR WRITTEN OBITUARY, BUT I AM IN NO WAY CELEBRATING THEIR DEMISE.

I HOPE THEY ALL LIVED FABULOUS LIVES, SUFFERED LITTLE AND HAD GLORIOUS JOURNEYS AS THEY ASCENDED TO THEIR GLORY. 

Imagine living to 67 and this is your best photo. 

When your name is a typo.

Wonder if that symbol was on her ID?

If you could see the dick my neighbor had you'd gasp.

What. A. Face.

Who among us hasn't . . . . 

Wish her folks would've given her 

a middle name like Donaldessa, or Donaldina.

YET ANOTHER STUPID CELEBRITY DEATH

I WISH I'D THOUGHT OF THIS, BUT LADY BUNNY BEAT ME TO IT.

 AND BY STUPID I MEAN THERE'S A TOO LONG LINE OF THESE FAMOUS PEOPLE, SOME CRAZILY TALENTED THAT DIE WAY TOO EARLY BECAUSE OF DUMB THINGS LIKE DRUGS AND DRINK. WHENEVER I SEE ANYTHING ABOUT WHITNEY HOUSTON I IMMEDIATELY GROWL, ANGRY THAT BITCH IS GONE. 

SHOULD PRINCE BE DEAD? 

I WON'T BOTHER TO LIST THEM ALL, YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE.

MAYBE IT'S TIME TO SEE WHAT OBITUARIES I'VE AMASSED?

December 24, 1959

 

This is our living room, captured with a black & white Polaroid. It's easy to surmise that there wasn't tons of money for lots of gifts. That bicycle was a hand-me-down from someone. I'm noticing it was a girl's bike. Hmm. 

We received some presents Christmas morning for a number of years as well as a few Chanukah gifts. I never really wondered why we were getting "Christmas" presents, hell, any day was a good day for presents! Turns out we were getting gifts on December 24th because that was our parents wedding anniversary, but we didn't know it! We were told Mum & Dad got married September 24th! 

Seems someone had been pregnant and a shotgun was involved.

                                                                                      

Notice what's on top of that Zenith television set. 

I still have that clock and vase. My sister has the menorah.

'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING

 

THE CARD FROM MY THANKSGIVING DAY GUEST

IF YOU'RE CELEBRATING

PLEASE, CELEBRATE

NOVEMBER 12, 2022

 

And by the way, while sitting here fretting 

over my sad blogspot problems, the

Nevada senate race was called for the Democrat 

keeping the Senate under Democratic control! 

Never thought this could happen, 

figured our democracy was over. 

Couldn't be more thrilled to be wrong!

I CAN'T EVEN COMMENT ON OTHER BLOGGER BLOGS!

 SO TODAY INTO MY INBOX CAME TWO COMMENTS FROM A POST OF COOKIE'S. THE POSTS CAME BECAUSE I'D ALSO COMMENTED. WEIRD PART IS, THIS POST WAS FROM 2021 AS WERE THE COMMENTS! 

SO, I SASHAYED OVER TO COOKIE'S TO POST MY CONFUSION AND I'M UNABLE TO COMMENT! I TYPED IT OUT, PRESSED PUBLISH AND VOILA!

NOTHING.

I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH GOOGLE. I SIGN OUT OF MY ACCOUNT & ATTEMPT TO SIGN INTO ANOTHER & IT SIGNS ME BACK INTO THE ONE I JUST SIGNED OUT OF.

I HATE GOOGLE.

OH, AND I DON'T HAVE A "LABELS" BUTTON ANYMORE.

BUT I LOVE THE NEW PUPPY.

ELIZABETH, RESTED, RELAXED AND READY

 

I NEVER SAW PHOTOS OF HRH LOOKING SO COMFORTABLE, 

SO HAPPY, SO HUMAN. WOULD IT HAVE BEEN A NO-NO FOR 

HER TO HAVE PRESENTED THIS PERSONA TO HER PUBLIC?

ALSO ADORE THIS GIF, WHICH I RELY ON FREQUENTLY. 

WISH SHE'D GIVEN JUST A BIT MORE OF THIS.

NEW BABY!

SAY HELLO TO GABBY!

A GLORIOUS NEW YEAR

 YES,  NORMA'S ANOTHER YEAR OLDER AND IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING, SHE FEELS EVERY FUCKING DAY, EVERY FUCKING MOMENT OLDER.

BUZZR AIRS A FASCINATING RELIC ON SATURDAY MORNINGS. 

THE ORIGINAL EVENING VERSION OF THE PRICE IS RIGHT (FROM 1959-60ish) IS AN AMAZING GLIMPSE INTO YESTERDAY. ON TODAY'S AIRING THEY JUST GAVE AWAY A VERY COOL KITCHEN. WASHER/DRYER, RANGE, OVEN, DISHWASHER & REFRIGERATOR ALL BUILT INTO CUSTOM CABINETS. THE ENTIRE WALL OF GOODIES WAS VALUED AT A BIT OVER $3000.00.

ALL THE CONTESTANTS HAD TO DO WAS CORRECTLY GUESS THE PRICE OF AN ELECTRIC CAN OPENER. 

THE CORRECT PRICE OF THE OPENER WAS APPROXIMATELY $30.00(!) WHICH SEEMED CRAZY. AFTER CHECKING, I FOUND THAT $30.00 IN 1960 TRANSLATES TO $300.00 TODAY.

HAVE I MENTIONED HOW HIDEOUS THE WORLD IS.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM

 THAT'S RIGHT!

TODAY MY HOT SHIT MOTHER BECOMES 86. I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WITH HER, BUT WITH THE OMICRON SURGE BEING PREDICTED I THOUGHT IT WISE TO STAY PUT AND POSTPONE MY VISIT.

AND THE REAL REASON YOU CAME VISIT

SIPSEY

NOT ENTIRELY PLEASED WITH HER CHAPEAU.

THE LOVE BOAT INDEED

THIS IS 46 MINUTES LONG, SO GRAB A DRINK AND 

A CIGARETTE AND REVEL IN 1970s and '80s POP CULTURE.

I was kind of shocked by some of the people I saw. It just blew my mind to see such older luminaries as Virginia Mayo, Olivia deHavilland, Evelyn Keyes, Dorothy Lamour, Dennis Morgan, Patsy Kelley, Lana Turner, Claire Trevor and Walter Slezak. Gloria Vanderbilt was an unexpected surprise too. 

I also noticed that Marla Gibbs (of The Jeffersons fame) is MARIA GIBBS. 

And yes, you will tire of Jack Jones and the theme song since it never, ever ends.

What there are is gobs of TV people, folks who were on other shows. I barely recalled many of them. There were also a bunch of faces & names where I drew a blank. I wondered if there might have been a separate Love Boat UK franchise? I don't remember what night this show aired, but my feeling is Friday and if that's right, then I missed lots of these since I was out trying to get laid.

IMPEACHMENT

 

HAS ANYONE BEEN WATCHING THIS ON FX?

AND JUST LIKE THAT . . . .

 

MY BLOGGER PAGE HAS RETURNED.

ASSISTANCE NEEDED

 DARLINGS!

OY. I'M HAVING ISSUES AND I BET NO ONE CAN HELP ME. BELOW IS A SCREEN SHOT OF THE PAGE I'VE BEEN VISITING FOR YEARS WHICH LETS ME KNOW WHEN A NEW BLOG POST HAS OCCURRED. AS OF A FEW DAYS AGO, THE PAGE WILL ONLY APPEAR AS FOLLOWS. IT WON'T LOAD ANYTHING. 

ANYONE EVER HAVE AN ISSUE SUCH AS THIS?

GRACIAS!

BIRTHDAY BLESSINGS

 

EVERYONE'S BEEN SO NICE TODAY, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

NOW WE'VE GOT TO GET THIS BITCH BACK ON THE ROAD.

HAPPY FOURTH of JULY!
