True story:
One day I had to tighten my belt another notch. I grinned feeling good that I must be losing weight. ( I Don't need to go on a diet, but it would be okay to lose a few pounds ... I thought) ... that went on for a short time ... then another notch. Another grin... no more notches ... I would have to make a new one soon ... it stayed the same for a few weeks ... one day it was not tight enough again ... I went to tighten my belt again and the whole buckle fell off. ( what happened was the screws or rivets that held the buckle worked loose ... which is why I had to tighten the belt a few times... oh well ... I did lose a few pounds at that time ... Just not as much as I was thinking ... and the condition of the belt ... well.. I had to buy a new one).
...
Funny, Fool! Was not expecting that for an explanation.

Looks like Greta Gerwig plundered my writings/life again for a project? This time in "W" fashion mag with a photo layout Gergwig did of Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine portraying an agoraphobic recluse...I think I've written here, before, about my sister I live with who is severely agoraphobic and seems to be under an enchanted spell or something that keeps her from being able to step foot outside the house. Gerwig's indie flick "Mistress America" appeared to feature bits and pieces of me here and there, such as my being a would be budding writer in college, my love for Paul's song "No More Lonely Nights" which played at one point in the film, my working with the aged in care homes and in their homes, my frequent agonized laments that my mother passed away right in front of me, and more, all of which I had alluded to here. It's as if Gerwig and her creative partner Noah Baumbach had read my stuff here and put some of it in their movie. (With me getting no credit or check in the mail, LOL, but it was just little bitty chunks of me here and there, after all.) Probably some reading this might consider me deluded. I've noted before my amazement at seeing my recurring dream depicted in the movie "Walk of Shame" starring Elizabeth Banks (one of my fave actresses) with Banks going through what I go through in the dream. I wondered if they got that premise from me. I still have that damn dream pretty often. I'm honored, I guess, if they used my personal ongoing recurring dream. Acted out by no less than Elizabeth Banks...I also wondered if my dream of (ludicrously) being in the running for Prince William's bride, a candidate, a nocturnal sleeping dream I told about online, was indirect inspiration for the reality show "I Wanna Marry Harry" about Prince Harry. I knew when I first started going on the Net in 2000 my stuff might get ripped off.

That's not delusional at all. The Wizard of Oz is exactly like my life. If you cut out Kansas, the Emerald City, Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, Em and Henry, Toto, the Munchkins, the flying monkeys, the other characters, the tornado, the technicolor hallucination, the ruby slippers and pretty much the entire plot. Take all that away and it's eerie how accurate it is. Obviously, they went back in time to film it before I was born so I could never sue.

I am probably going to take a long lunch today. I will go to lunch in the Winter and return from lunch in the Spring. (Yet I will take the same amount of time that I usually do).

I wish it felt a little more like spring. There is a wind chill in the 20s.

I saw that twice on the news today. Very sweet.

That's right, Haley McComet, all that may have been only a series of coincidences, or most of it. I guess I sailed off on a ludicrous ego trip to idiotsville and am just a dumb bunny. Or not. I'd rather know the truth than dwell in illusion, but I guess Greta Gerwig won't enlighten me, LOL. Or the makers of that Elizabeth Banks movie or "I Wanna Marry Harry," LOL

Yes...That IS very sweet! I learned the sign alphabet from my girlfriend of the time when I was 16. I taught it to my oldest daughter when she was 7. She memorized it in 2 days. She has used it several times in her work to help deaf mutes find housing. Thumbs up to everyone involved with the video!!!

I haven't been here in quite awhile because i haven't been getting any notifications at all from any of the boards here. But the main reason I haven't been here is because in mid-Feb., I had to rush my husband to ER. Stubborn man had chest pains all day & could hardly breathe & waited til late in the day to finally go to ER. He was told that his chance of survival was only 50% at that point. Long story short, he was transferred to another div. of the hosp, as they had a better trauma unit. He was in the hosp a total of 10 days - several of them in ICU. He's doing better now & taking everything much more seriously. The doctors discovered by accident that he has an aortic aneurysm, but it's currently small but needs to be monitored. If it grows, then he'll need surgery. We are just very blessed that we didn't lose him.
Life is very precious. Don't wait until it's too late - take care of yourselves & your loved ones.

That is major something to go through. Good thoughts for your husband's health and of course you too, take care.
