Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I wasn’t assuming that he overdosed or committed suicide.
Sorry, I wasn’t as clear as I should have been. I have lost people close to me in that manner, along with other drug related deaths.
As most people know, I lost my brother to hepatitisC. No cure back then. Now there is treatment for HepC.
Your friend was too young to die.
Thank you. He didn't overdose and didn't do suicide. He had been clean for 2 yrs maybe longer. He had all these plans for his new life. I would love for you to pray for him. Please pray that he is at peace which I don't think he had in this life.
Thank you so much.
I sent you a pm.
Have lost a few friends myself, along with relatives. The sting of death certainly hurts. It really does. Overdoses, deaths related to using and suicides are extremely hard to deal with.
Wishing you peace in the midst of your pain. Mega hugs and prayers sent to you. If you don’t mind, I will say a prayer for your friend’s soul to be at peace as well.
I pray for all addicts daily. It’s something that I do daily for myself and as a way to especially honor my brother that I lost.
He was a lost and tortured soul that had a heart of gold underneath his pain and confusion.
During the rare times that he wasn’t using he was a special man. While using he was unrecognizable. It’s terribly sad.
RIP my friend. It's been a sad week!😢
I love Sunday evening PBS shows too. Thanks for suggestions.
Fargo is good! I saw that awhile back.
What missions do you visit? I did Carmel years ago. They are beautiful to visit. Carmel is a beautiful area.
Hi, just saw your post. Didn't realize the Mission had that on Halloween. Sorry to hear about your brother. I bet his spirit was with you. Yes, different Halloween this year. I turned the big "60" on Halloween. I'm going up a different hill now. Lol
Take care,
Unite
Hubby and I watched Blow the Man Down and Late Show on Amazon.
I liked Blow the Man Down. Late Show wasn’t bad but wasn’t great either.
I hope that I will be forgiven for posting Elaine's updates so that people will read them if the updates are more recent.
And your suggestion is a good one! I hope the AC Admins read your post!
Our neighborhood has always had closed streets and big celebrations for this day, lots of little ones come from all over. Missing that today.
I love everything about Autumn, and especially its holidays.
Funny thing whenever I've watched that I kept thinking about the movie Mommy Dearest which was supposed to be a true account of Joan Crawford. If it's anything close to being true it's even more of a horror story.
"NO WIRE COAT HANGERS!!!"🤯😱😳🤪
The bird scene broke my heart. It totally grossed me out. I was a kid when I watched that movie with my mom. I was born in the 50’s. I think that movie came out in the 60’s.
Oh, I think I have seen every Bette Davis movie out there. I adore her. She was an incredible actress.
So, I am guessing that you weren’t a Hitchcock fan if you aren’t a big horror fan. I love Hitchcock too!
Never saw the entire movie. Cannot watch horror movies.
However, researching the trailers and some scenes, I am having a hard time trying to figure out who was abusing whom?
The "BIRD" scene! Looked it up. Kinda perverse NHWM. Thanks for that, not.
You have known about my Tweety-bird. 😩
Getting too close to the Full Moon?
Don’t you remember? The police found her dancing on the beach eating ice cream.
Now I want to watch it again!
Betty Davis, Joan Crawford.
Sister caring for sister.
Looked it up, final scene:
"you mean, all this time, we could have been friends?"
She snapped! Cracked up.
Goes to show, if you are burnt out, get help.
Bette Davis and Joan Crawford are legends! Great movie! The scene with the bird is etched in my mind. You’re so right in your description of it being a nightmare film!
If you get the chance watch, ‘Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte.’ It was filmed at Houmas House plantation here in Louisiana. I have been there. The staircase is beautiful in that home.
Bette Davis bought silver candle operas for their dining room table as a parting gift.
A sibling caregiver nightmare.....
The hotel has a very cute display of decorated pumpkins! I wish that I could send pics from my phone to the forum. They are very creative!
So glad you and your family are going for safety.
Safety is way high up on the heirarchy of basic needs.
