Please Pay in Full...

If anyone wants to have an Anxiety Attack, or Stress, or even a Stroke or Heart Attack I have an easy way for you to accomplish it...

Simply receive something from a "Collection Agency" that reads like the following:

Now, if this hasn't already given you any of the effects listed above, add to it that you receive this on a weekend, and therefore can't call until Monday to try to straighten it out!

I guess I am lucky.. I didn't have the stroke or heart attack, but Anxiety and Stress (on top of what I carry around daily) reared their sweet little heads to the point of affecting my sleep.. and even the old "geez, my hands are shaking".

I did get to call on this today and "straightened things out". But the fact remains it put me thru stress and anxioty that I didn't need, and may have been even worse for someone else. And why did this happen you ask? Beats me!

I did have 2 separate MRI's about 2 yrs ago. At the time I was on Medicaid. The Imaging company assured me it was covered and I never (NEVER) received any bills that could be listed as "unpaid". So I sit here and wonder how something like this can occur?

How can a collection agency say you didn't pay a bill(s) that you never received? Is there no where that tells a company that they have sent said bills out?? And if I had to show my Medicaid card, and the company Xerox's it each and every time, where did the proof of coverage disappear to?

I will admit the collection place was very nice. They didn't even ask for my old Medicaid number but I insisted they take it anyway! They said "ignore the bill".. I said, "how will I know for sure, I don't want my credit blemished". She said, "I've already eliminated the bill." I guess there's no guarantee on this, and it better not come back and slap me in the face 6 months from now. I did hear her typing away at her computer as we spoke so I did get a "good feeling" she was putting in the appropriate information.

So........ if anyone wants to stress out, I can forward that "bill" to you if you want!

***********************************

On another note:

After my post yesterday I'd like to respond to Karen, who mentioned she wished she had know that I was going to see the "kids" from A Christmas Story, because she was curious to know if one of those "kids" (Ian Petrella) had a bit part in Back to The Future.

I don't know off hand Karen, but I sent off an email to Scotty Schwartz, who is good friends with Ian and I feel sure he will email an answer to your question. I don't expect him on line for a day or two, I'm sure today they are flying back to California, but as soon as I know I'll forward his email response.

And Annie asked if I had seen a few of the guests listed on the Chiller Web site. I did see Robert Culp, who looked very well in his denim jeans and jacket, and I saw Richard Anderson, who was showing his age, but still maintained a smile for everyone.

And yes, I saw Lou Ferrigno before the show began and he came right up to say hello to me. (since I've worked with him on occasion in CA) He looks thinner then I am use to seeing him, but still very fit. For the first time ever I can see he is beginning to look his age also.

There was a rumor I was told of later about Lou, As some might know (or not know) Lou is on "special police force" out in CA and I heard there was an accident on the shooting range and he had gotten shot in his arm... happily for him all was ok, and it WAS an accident, and even better news was that the press didn't pick up on it! But, it's all rumor to me.

It was fun While it Lasted.

Well poop!

I'm finding out that some folks on the beta version of blogspot are having troubles on some sites that aren't Beta. This is the first I've even heard that this Beta thing may well wind up NOT being a choice of having.

That's something that pushes my back right up against the wall. I absolutely HATE when I "have no choice", "take it or leave it"... because guess what?! I will leave it.

Not that I don't think Blogspot couldn' t use improvements. It has nothing to do with that and if they were to add one little thing at a time... over time, I'd be just fine with it. But this old lady has had enough of getting by on two journals. Though they are duplicated each has it's own "good and bad" things about them. But I've had my fill of having to relearn yet another "beta" journal. I don't even have this one all figured out yet!! Cripes!

So.. just as a note to the very few folks that bother to come by this journal.. if you begin to have problems .. or if you notice several days go by without a post, it means the only place you can find me is at my aol journal. Here is the address: http://journals.aol.com/deslily/HereThereandEverywhere/

This is upsetting to me. I don't have that many readers, but the ones I have I totally enjoy and would hate to loose you. I assume I will still be able to get to the blogspot journals to read, but I did notice at one that is beta, a few things don't show up. I also notice in the beta journals I get a bunch of boxes re: do you want to see unsecured items? type thing which no other journals have.. like I need more boxes to have to read and click.. when I leave a comment it winds up 4 extra boxes to click on all referring to secure and non secure items.. and those comments that have little photo's with them? in Beta I don't see them.

I wonder why BlogSpot is making it so annoying? The version we are using is just fine.. but noooooooooooo, like most things, they have to fix what isn't broken!

Sigh.. well, I'll keep this going as long as I can, but it looks like the Sh*t is about to hit the fan.

Shhhhh... it's a secret!

It would seem that PLittle discovered a little secret of mine. He obviously had no doubt in his mind when he commented: Wow! Lilith is you. Indeed, the drawing in the lower post is one I drew of myself in a mirror. Let me explain the why of said drawing.

At times Jess of The Other Invisible posts writers questions and occasionally I respond to them. Not that I am a professional writer mind you, but as many know I have written a fantasy trilogy, basically for myself, since I have no real talent in that area to attempt any sort of publishing. Anyway, in one of her Writers Questions she had asked about hearing your character's voices as you write. Since I know this to be true I responded. What wasn't said in that post was that you get clear visions of what they look like too.

One day a friend and I were chatting in IM and talking about my story. We went so far as to be joking around and she asked, "Hey, when they make it into a movie who will play the characters?" Well, we joked back and forth and I came up with actors I think could be many of my characters, but for the life of me I couldn't come up with a female to play Lilith.

I thought on this from time to time after we talked about it and when I went to draw Lilith I came up with the same "blank" of what she would look like.

I portrayed Lilith in her mid to upper 50's. There lies the problem. Any actress I could come up with that would be the right age looked some ten years younger!! That would not do! Can you imagine a 58 yr old woman without some wrinkles??! Sorry, to say I don't know any! Every name I could come up with has had plastic surgery! Good lord! Don't they make any movies with people in their 50's??!!

Of course they do. But said woman now have to go and use heavy makeup to make them look their age! ARGH! To be honest, there are a few actresses that have avoided the knife but those were older then the character.... so, out of frustration I looked in a mirror (much to my horror) and tried to make a sketch of myself. I, of course did not put in all the wrinkles... which probably means I gave myself a face lift! Hmmm, not bad... it didn't hurt... and it didn't cost me a dime!

PLittle is the first person to look at the drawings and realize it was me ,lol. It could be that no one else saw it because I'm not an artist. (ya think?! lol) But that was a fine observation Paul, it means you really took a serious look at them! (danke!)

Anyway, since Paul did notice that I thought I would tell you the story behind that particular drawing... and now you know.

As a postscript I want to add a response to Barb (Skittles Place) who asked "where's the book?" Sorry to say there is no "book" Barb. I did write a trilogy, as I said before, but they are just on my computer. (and a few backups on cds, and one print out I did for myself, heh.) I only refer to them as books because they meet the criteria in word count for each book. I do have the first six chapters on a web site that I made ages ago and sadly they aren't the last edit that I did. In fact they may well be from the way earlier edits (I must have done 6-7 edits!!). But if you want to fumble thru them you will find the link on my side bar titled "the beginnings of a story". Keep in mind I did edit them a number of times more but, as I am not a professional writer, nor am I an editor!

How do you get a sweet little 80-year-old lady to say the F word?
Get another sweet little 80-year-old lady to yell *BINGO*!

Helpful Hints for Desk jobs..

TEN things to say, when caught sleeping at your desk !...

10. "They told me at the Blood Bank this might happen."

9. "This is just a 15 minute power nap they raved about in the time management course you sent me to!"

8. "Whew! Guess I left the top off the Whiteout. You probably got here just in time."

7. "I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement , and envisioning a new business strategy."

6. "I was testing my keyboard for drool resistance."

5. "I was doing a highly-specific Yoga exercise to relieve work-related stress. Are you discriminatory toward people who practice Yoga?"

4. "Darn! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out how to handle that big accounting problem."

3. "Did you ever notice sound coming out of these keyboards when you put your ear down real close?"

2. "Who put decaf in the wrong pot?!?"

AND THE NUMBER ONE best thing to say if you get caught sleeping at your desk........

1. Raise your head slowly and say, "...in Jesus ' name, Amen

Did you know.......?

Ack! It's Friday the 13th!!!..............

That calls for Maxine to brighten up your Halloween Spirits! (pun intended)

Feline Friday

'Tis Feline Friday once again... remember, if you have a photo you are posting on your journal to go and link it with Steven!

This time I thought I'd catch BooBoo Kitty watching the rain but he heard me get the camera out and turned around.. I was lucky I didn't get the flashback in his eyes.

Later, I looked towards my bed and found BooBoo Kitty and Peanutchew looking all "lovey-dovey"

Good news and bad news: The good news is that even as we get older, guys still look at our boobs. The bad news is they have to squat down first.

I'm glad tomorrow's Friday

It must be something with the moon.......

I thought I was the only one having the depression blahs or whatever one calls it when nothing seems to matter and you feel like doing... "nothing". Not even writing a decent post for the journal.

It feels like I am waiting for "it" (whatever "it" is, be it one or many things) to be over so I can resume whatever seems normal again.

I know there's much going on here right now.. my brother will be coming home from rehab on monday. The hospital bed and "goodies" are due to be delivered tomorrow. A dear friend of my brother's died suddenly and we have to tell him tonight. And I'm nervous about him coming home. I'm scared he will try to walk what little he can and fall and I can't "catch" 250 lbs without , more then likely hurting myself. I'm also dreading hearing my name called many times a day to come and get him this or that, or make him something to eat, get me water, get me ice, get my paints, put them away, more ice, more water, etc it goes on and on... (never having a secured "time" for myself) I feel like sh*t because I feel guilty that I have these selfish thoughts. I feel drained, abused, and tired... it sorta makes it hard to think happy thoughts or enjoy small things anymore.

So..... my mood has not been the best. Depression resides here at the moment. But I keep waking up and plugging along. I find I'm thankful for meme's that come by and the round robin and feline fridays so I have things to say without having to think much, orcomplaining or feeling sorry for myself.

I have a photo for feline friday tomorrow!.. whew! And I know what my round robin is for next week! (double whew!) I have some more animations I did to post for Halloween (thank goodnes!)

I just need some time to pass, and to feel a rountine again... then I can blindly do it repeatedly until the next crisis ....

A useful Site..

The other day while in the web, I discovered a website some of you might like. At this site you can put in a name of your favorite actor/ actress and it will come up with a list of any movie that person is in for whatever month we are in, so that you won't miss a movie that your favorite actor is in! I thought this was pretty cool! (space to type name in upper right hand corner: search "stars on tv"
It will also list "all horror movies" for the month, all "scifi" for the month (if you click on the link they provide) The site is called TV-Now
Since my posts have been directed towards Halloween and movies, I (of course) put in Lon Chaney Jr's name and came up with this:
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein: Sat Oct 21 12:00P on Turner Classic Movies. Starring Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Lon Chaney Jr, Bela Lugosi and Vincent Price,..oh my gawd! How did I ever forget Vincent Price in my post below this one??!!!

Son of Dracula: Tue Oct 24 11:00A on American Movie Classics
The Wolf Man Thu Oct 26 10:00A on American Movie Classics
Sat Oct 28 11:30A on American Movie Classics

I hope you find this website useful!
Before I go I just had to search some photo's from Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein!... The first shot is Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff. The second is Abbott and Costello with Karloff (Frankenstein) and the third has Karloff, Lugosi, and Lon Chaney with Abbot and Costello. Now this is a movie both old and young can get a chuckle over!


Oh!.. and keeping on the theme of "creepy and scarey".. the last weekend of October is the autograph show Chiller Theater that I go to all the time. Not that I am necessarily into horror, but this time because I'll be helping my friend Scott Schwartz (A Christmas Story/ The Toy) while he's signing autographs. There's a big line up of guests at this show, though many I don't even know there are a few of interest (to me) that I will try to take photo's of.
ANTHONY MICHAEL HALL (Weird Science, The Breakfast Club, Edward Scissorhands, & Sixteen Candles.)
ROBERT BELTRAN (Star Trek: Voyager, & Raoul in Eating Raoul!)
PATRICIA MCCORMACK (The Bad Seed)
JOHN DE LANCIE (Star Trek:TNG.)
LOU FERRIGNO (The HULK in the TV series, Sinbad of the Seven Seas, & Hercules)
ERIN MORAN (Happy Days)
BETSY PALMER (Jason Voorhees mother in Friday the 13th)
LANCE GUEST (Halloween II, The Last Starfighter, & Jaws: The Revenge.)
BILL DAILY (I Dream of Jeannie & Howard Borden in The Bob Newhart Show)
JOYCE DEWITT ( Three's Company.)

All the actors and their photo's can be found "here"... and there's many more I didn't list!

Fright Night

What movies scared you as a kid?

When I was very young, the scarey movies were almost always Frankenstein, Dracula, The Mummy and Wolf Man movies. (you can toss in the original King Kong ..heh)

Boris Karloff was the "king" of horror, be it Frankenstein (1931) or other scarey characters like The Mummy or Dr. Scarabus in The Raven (1963) He always managed to have me hugging a pillow with my eyes half hidden behind it!

Bela Lugosi as Dracula.. what can I say? If anyone was born to play a blood sucking vampire named Dracula it was Lugosi! If you have never seen him in the part, it's a MUST. Just looking at his eyes will give you the heebie-jeebies!

Lon Chaney Jr. played Larry Talbot, he was the Wolf Man (1941). Later as I grew older (and liked him in the part of the Wolf Man more then ever) Mr Chaney was one of the few to branch out from horror movies and make it as a "regular" in westerns.

Way back when I was young, we didn't need the color tv to see the blood, or the special effects that movies have today. All we needed was a convincing actor and our own imagination! (I guess my imagination worked well, because these actors scared the heck outta me!!)

Caution! Monster Crossing

Halloween Flicks...

This is going to be a long post... I was in the web today looking for things to animate for Halloween when I came across a list of Horror Movies that will be on cable television all this month. Believe it or not the list below is not even half of the list I found but I thought it was a good group. For those who like Horror movies... especially around Halloween time, check out the list below and write down any movie, channel and time that you don't want to miss !!

Many are classics and if you've never seen them, now may be the time. They were the movies I watched that scared the doo doo out of me when I was a kid! They are OLD.. they contain some fantastic actors and actresses...they are black and white movies... and they are STILL scarey! If you have a chance to see them, you won't be sorry!.......

So, for your viewing pleasure.............

Reflections of my Mind...

How time flies! Today is my one year anniversary of keeping a journal online! Now, 404 posts later... I'm still here!

A year ago I had no idea that I would still be doing this a year later... incredible! So, I took a look back in my own journal and chose a few posts from each month that I think summarizes my journal . My conclusion was that my journal is titled appropriately!

(listed from last October until present...the addresses are from my duplicate journal in aol.. they were easier to find the addresses, but they are all on blogspot too.)
