Jesse Stone



The Man, Tom Selleck, will be on CBS this Sunday night in another Jesse Stone movie called "Thin Ice". Guess where I'll be?! You betcha!

Rain and Other Things

Rain, rain, go away! Heavy rain ALL day and night, complete with lightning and tornado warnings and at least one tornado! Nothing on local tv stations but weather stuff. And what's coming tonight? Snow, of course! Where the heck is spring? Hurry it up!

I had to renew my very expensive anti-biotic. Since I got it from the ER the dr I usually see said she couldn't renew it. I've been to her before with the same problem! Sheesh. So I had to go to the office and sit amongst the hackers and snot filled to get my renewal! I tried not to sit near anyone! There was a couple there busily popping their knuckles. He was trying to teach her how. Can you say annoying?

When the dr looked at my foot she told me I was going to lose it. Okay, don't bother being vague! I told her it was looking better--I can almost see my ankle bones. She gave me a new prescription for the same pill but the pharmacy was closed by that time. I'm hoping that another dose will finally chase this infection out and away!

I also hope to still be in posession of my foot and toe! And I don't mean in a glass container!

Cyper Identity Theft

On the Today Show this morninng, a new cyper theft was discussed. Sadly, this is where I don't shine! I looked it up using Google but couldn't get the address to move, so if you're interested I guess you'll have to do the leg work. Sorry about that!

It seems a family whose teens were sharing files to swap music videos with their friends unknowingly let some theives into their computer that way and their information was sold to more theives. Really nasty. Your information, including ss# can go around the world.

Google the Today Show and look for a video about it.

Have Talent?

Artistic talent? If so, you might wanrt to consider going to Brazil where you could make $1000 for two hours of painting. What's the catch? Well, what you'll be painting is nude women for Carnival. Completely nude.

 Was that the sound of bags being packed I just heard? You can't
just show up with a can of paint and a paint brush! And no, stick figures do not count! You must have talent!

 The women march in the parade and also spend time in "luxury" boxes with people. You are allowed to gawk but wear a bib if you drool easily! The girls do not appreciate the more frisky gawkers who cannot look without touching!  They earn $250 for letting people gawk.

Not enough money, girls!

A Class Act

Unlike the Clintons, who tried to take everything but the kitchen sink--even the W from the computers--President and Laura Bush left some very expensive gifts behind.

This Little Piggie..

This is not a pretty story, so if you are delicate you might want to skip it! I've had a problem with my right foot for a year now. When you are diabetic that's the way life goes. Things heal slowly and the further down your body, the slower! Instead of taking care of the infection like I usually did, I let it get a good start before I got busy trying to get rid of it. Bad on me! I was given a strong anti-biotic that did not like me and did awful things--like make me throw up, almost pass out and put a rash on the lower part of my leg and because I had on cropped pants, turned it red and made it feel really bad! I had to stop taking that and was put on a different anti-biotic. My ankle was about the size of a softball and my foot was larger than the left one. My leg turning red was the result of my going outside for awhikle--standing under a tree part of the time. It felt like a burn and has stayed that way since last summer! It can also itch intensely to the point where I have to scratch it or run in circles! It hurts to do it and just drives me wild!

I have spent several hundred dollars trying to heal all of this without success. I kept thinking after I finished the anti-biotics that it would get better. Nope. Saturday night I was in a itching mode with the thought that I didn't care if I bled to death, I was scratching! Well, my reward for this was that I started getting pain across my foot that felt like nerve pain and I couldn't tolerate it after an hour. I was having such sharp pain, I was in tears. Usually, I tolerate pain pretty well, but this was unbearable. I tried taking tylenol but it had no effect. After over an hour of this, I decided I was going to have to drive myself to Shelby whateverit'scalled to have someone look at it and give me something for pain!

I made it there and, of course, my foot stopped hurting before I could be seen! I decided since I was there I'd have a dr look at it and see if he said anything I hadn't heard before. So began the long process of an ER visit at 1 am. I wasn't alone but I'm sure the ER at UAB was filled. You fill out papers and then sit and wait..and wait. Just as I was beginning to think I could make it to Mon, I was put in an exam room. There was a tv up in the corner and guess what was on--infomercials. One after another! No way to turn it off, mute it or unplug it! Cruel and unusual punishment!

Everytime I considered leaving, there would be noise in the hallway. I think they do that just to fake you off and think they're on the way in! A nurse came in and filled out more papers and left. Hours later, a young dr popped in for about 5 mins tops! He looked at my foot and said I needed some anti-biotics and if we couldn't get the infection out, I might lose my toe. Well, the next dr that tells me that might get a knee to the groin, too! I just wanted to scream, I know that! Tell me when it's about to happen, not every other trip to the dr's!

So I paid my bill and put my infected toe in my car and at 5 am, drove home! Oh, I did take a very strong anti-biotic before I left and he gave me a prescription for that and pain. I hope this very strong, very expensive (good thing I don't faint) pill works some magic. I'd like to hang on to my toe and I'm very tired of this drama!

I wonder what the foot would look like without a big toe? Not that I really want to know!

Barry's Faithful

Did you notice the other day while Barry was on his Come Adore Me tour--my title--the woman who asked for a house? Very politely. She and her son are living in a car, so you can see how a house might be better! I noticed the woman next to her looked like she might faint when Barry came over and offered his hand. (to be kissed, for sure) Hot Air had the video up and said she mouthed the words, I love you, Barack! (Who's watching the nut house nowadays?)

After the adoration, a woman in the audience (Republican) offered the woman a house for 3 mos, free of rent. What was her answer? SHE'D HAVE TO SEE IT FIRST! You're living in a car but you'll have to see the house before you jump, er, drag your feet over! One of the comments was that she should hurry to his next town hall meeting--she'll need furniture!

Will Farrell, moron

I have never thought Will Farrell to be funny. I've tried some of his movies and find them stupid and very unfunny. I'd like to know how he continues to be hired as a comedian?

It seems that he is now on broadway doing a show about President Bush. Do these people ever give up? He even includes an unfunny moment of silence for the troops who've died overseas.

I intend to look for an address for this theatre so I can send some mail his way!

Cort Thestre, 138W 48th St, New York NY 10036.

The director is Adam McKay, who has evidently directed all of his disasters!

Thanks for the Help Superman!

When the laptop took a dive in early Nov, I had less than 20,000 hits. Suddenly, I started getting more hits than I could keep up with--especially without a computer! The interest causing this avalanche of hits was a picture I'd posted of Tom Welling a year ago at a baseball game with a beard and longish hair. This went on for a couple of months and then it was like a faucet had been turned off! I did a google check and the same picture was now on someone else's web site. Interesting. It ran my sitemeter up to 43,ooo hits.

I started watching Smallville with my son some time ago. Didn't take too long to notice how smokin' hot Tom was!

He has fans around the world. My sitemeter had all kinds of flags popping up!

Thanks big guy!

News About The Man

Tom just finished another Jesse Stone movie for tv. It should be out pretty soon. Looking forward to it!

He has also been named as the Education Center Spokesman for the Vietnam Vets Memorial Fund to raise money for a new education center on the mall in Washington, DC. He, and some otherr celebrities, will be making public service messages soon.

He served in Vietnam with the infantry of the 160th CA National Guard and the name of a friend of his is on the wall in Washington, DC. Magnum PI was considered one of the first shows to show vets in a positive light. Wish I could find a picture of him in that white naval uniform! Makes you want to stand at attention and salute!

More Tom Selleck! Bring it!
