It really sucks having to be in the hospital all alone due to the COVID crisis. I'm getting checked for a possible heart attack and have to be all by myself. It's very scary.
BLM is blocking traffic, threatening drivers, and even pulling guns on them in the Dallas, TX area. This is one of the reasons I moved out of the city of Dallas and back to the suburbs. If this crap keeps getting worse I will have to leave the DFW Metroplex altogether.

Wishing a Happy Heavenly Birthday to actress Mary Tyler Moore, born on this day (December 29th) in 1936. May she rest in peace. ๐
One of my favorite scenes from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" (1972).

I'm not the type of guy who often asks for prayers. I'm going through a particularly difficult time emotionally and sure could use some prayers. May everyone have a blessed day. ๐

Which is why I donโt watch late night shows. They slowly began their political divisiveness years ago and have become unwatchable. Jay Leno was the last host I can remember who was not like this.
How in the world did NY send C19 elderly patients to nursing homes where they died rather than to the Comfort ship hospital where they may have been saved? Somebody likely profited. Practice hidden by privacy laws and no visitation. Disgusting and unethical! Or, am I wrong?
Good morning Tweeps. I'm at the hospital about to be put under anesthesia for my abdominal surgery. Please send good vibes. I'm in great hands with one of the best surgeons in the city. I'm planning on a speedy recovery and a healthy summer. I wish everyone the same.๐

Happy 93rd birthday to Clint Eastwood who was born on May 31, 1930 in San Francisco. ๐๐๐
Here's the trailer to one of my favorite Eastwood movies. "Gran Torino" (2008) ๐ฌ
Thanks for the outpouring of prayers. I'm home from the hospital now but it was scary last night. Palpitations, pressure on chest and breathing difficulties. Resting with meds today waiting on COVID test result in a day or two. Bless everyone. ๐โค

You want my honest opinion? I think they are pushing as much radical stuff they can on to "We The People? Meanwhile, while we're upset about all of this stuff (and other things) they are completing their "fundamental" change of America.

From "Caddyshack" (1980). The part where Al Czervik (Rodney Dangerfield) is in the country club's dining room endlessly cracking jokes, ranging from low grade dog food to flatulence. ๐๐๐๐ฌ
From That's Entertainment (1974). This scene is Clark Gable's only musical performance on film. It is from the movie "Idiot's Delight" (1939) where he sings and dances to the song 'Puttin' on the Ritz.' Narrated by James Stewart. ๐ฌ๐
So I'm preparing the marinade for my Chicken Shawarma as "The Carol Burnett Show" is airing on TV (

She has got to be kidding? Pelosi is hundreds of years old with an endless supply of fattening ice cream at home. Most people are made up of 60% water. She is 60% Botox. Pelosi is so old she survived the Salem Witch Trials and came back.

was not yet around in 1967 or the joy shown in my 8mm film below would not be on my adoptive momโs face. She tried having children for almost 20 years but was unable.

From "The Lucy Show" titled 'Lucy Dates Dean Martin' (1966). In this clip from a very hard to find episode, Lucy thinks she just went on a date with Dean Martin's body double named Eddie. Here is the part when Lucy finds out he's actually Dean Martin himself. ๐โค๏ธ๐บ
Hattie McDaniel's acceptance speech for winning Best Actress in a Supporting Role in "Gone With the Wind" (1939). Presented by Fay Bainter at the 12th Academy Awards on February 29, 1940.
Texas is strict regarding voter i.d. and most Texans have confidence in our system's integrity. But when other states don't adhere to those same rules in a national election that's justification for states like ours to be skeptical. Differing rules nationwide = NO VOTER INTEGRITY
