Wait! Doh on me. Stoopid! Stoopid! Stoopid Iddie butt. No, not you ... Me. I just only now read your message above this one. You did get my PM.

Errr ... as sweet little old lady Emily Litella from Saturday Night Live always smiled so cute when she boo booed due to her being very hard of hearing regarding the subject being discussed in her news editorial, "Ohhh. Well that's different. (Very Sweet Smile Here.). Never mind." And me? Major Blush. Okay, I'm donee. Bye Bye.

Big Hugs!!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

PS. Here's the one second: "Never Mind" to refresh your memory.

And a danged funny as heck skit of Emily Litella as a Substitute Teacher. It's 6 miuntes and 27 seconds. A caution to little children that may be within ear shot ... Emily calls one of the students a pretty naughty name. Heh! But, he did ask for it. Here you go ...

Oh, you'll hear Father Guido Sarducci in the very begging, too.

Okay, I'm going now for real this time. Bye bye >>>>>>>>>>>>

Hey Dottie--------SNL was so funny once upon a time.People of Gilda's ilk are too few these days.When I do watch SNL now,The gap between laffs is wide.I am glad you are able to post today as your PM was a little unsettling.These bouts of gut-wrenching grief can and do take their toll on us don't they?-------Rest assured I will be here to post responses back 2 U as soon as you are feeling better and we resume chatting.Be well friend,

Your pal, Bubba.............

Bubba, so true about SNL. I loved that show sooooo much years ago but it's gone pretty down hill after all this time. Oh, they still have some really funny stuff from time to time but it just ain't the same. As for Gilda Radner, may she Rest In Peace and God Love her!!! I read her book she wrote during her dying process, saw her make several TV appearances and she was always so upbeat. Bless her also for taking money out of her own pocket to make that beautiful building where all could share and care. What a saint. Surely there's a special place in Heaven for her and I just know it's The Bridge!

Thank you ... I don't know how to thank you adequately enough to express my utmost gratitude to you for your concern, compassion and support regarding my loss and ... Well, just and. Thank you, Bubba!!!

Oh, you're going to sing about it to me? How lovely! Hey, you look like a dog .... I do mean that as a huge compliment and would you look and your enormous beaming smile! Okay, click below on Bubba who just now turned into a Happy, Happy Doggie. Also very true that they are always there for you just as it says at the very beginning of the video ...





Thanks, my Pal and right back atcha!!!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

PS. Bubba, you did notice how each doggie "matched" what James Taylor was singing in each verse, right? I'll bet you did. "I'll call out your name" and the doggie is doing just that. "I'll come running to see you again" and the doggie is doing just that. Even the "People can be so cruel. They'll use you and abuse you. They'll take your soul if you let them. Oh yeah, but don't you let them!" That part always makes me cry but I pray whoever sees it will adopt a shelter doggie. It sure would melt a cold heart and make one want to give those fur babies a loving, caring home and family they all so richly deserve. You betcha!

I love, love, LOVE this video!!! Whenever I want to post a song, I take a lot of time watching many versions and always choose the one with the photographs or images that show exactly what I want to say. I sure lucked out with this one! Awwww! Precious beyond words. Yep.

More Hugs!!!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxo

Whew!!!!!!!!! Wiping tears..........James has had his share of grief.'Fire and rain', the plane crash losing his wife........aching........There is just something about all animals........The dogs expressions with the words are priceless.Can you fill me in on Gilda's building as I am not privy to it? will post back tonite after work.Take care dear friend,........Bubba.............

Hi Bubba! Actually there were and still are many, many buildings called: "Gilda's Club." Click on the link and it will tell you what all those many places do for everyone and ... just click the link. Okay? Okay ...

Interjection: This has got to be one of my all time fav skits Gilda did on SNL. To this day, I remember most of the lyrics to her "Gimmie Mick!" ... Song, even though I only saw that skit one time. What a talent and treasure. Here it is ...

Gilda Radner - Candy Slice

http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=...ideoid=28326087

I'll bet there's a better version on YouTube .......

Bubba, you'll love this. I know I do. Here's a direct quote from Gilda Radner regarding what dogs mean ... To her! Click and read it for yourself ...

http://www.petbrags.com/profiles/blog/show...logPost%3A30409

There's stuff to click at the top, too. Also, you can register as a member to this online community. Look to the right written in green. She also participated greatly in animal rescue of all species of creatures great and small! By the way, where it says "PetBrags.com" is clickable. Click it! Lookie! There and at the very top in purple to the right where it says "Videos and TV." Heck, click everything.

Oh, the title of the book she wrote is titled: "It's Always Something." Here's a link ...

http://www.amazon.com/Its-Always-Something...r/dp/038081322X

Like I said, I read it many years ago and it is a must, must must read! Word! Here's a teaser so to speak ...

"Completed before Radner's death last month, this is her personal account of her struggle with ovarian cancer and her inspiring attempt to keep an upbeat attitude during her illness. Her discussion of a Santa Monica patient support group called the Wellness Community is the best part of the book and may be of interest to cancer patients and their families. However, readers expecting the show business history that the promotional material to this book promises will be disappointed; Radner's work with Saturday Night Live, her creation of such memorable characters like Emily Litella and Roseanna Roseannadanna, and her film work with husband Gene Wilder get scant attention here. Radner certainly deserves a biography that would record those achievements."

Here are three reviews from well respected publications ...

"Death Be Not Proud: The Book Remains A Victorious Volume." -- Detroit Free Press

"Extraordinarily Candid...A Testament To Her Courage And Comedic Spirit." -- Chicago Tribune

"Touching and Witty." -- USA Today

Awesome book and I could not put it down. I hope you read it, too. Dang, I hope everyone does. Hey, her true story benefits us. Inspiration ... I have no words. Simply an amazing, wonderful, dear soul!!!

God Bless her! My Mom who was also wonderful, awesome, super terrific, loving, remarkable, friends to all creatures great and small including humans ... Mom died at age 42 just like Gilda. You know what they say. "The good die young." Well, that's sure applies to Gilda Radner. And special blessings to her husband, actor Gene Wilder for being there with her every step of the way.

Here's a whole lot everything Gilda Radner ...

Hey Dottie -------finally got to view all the Gilda stuff.Feeling a bit nostalgic.The 'comedienne-ballerina' thing on her gravestone was cool.How great it is she got the cancer facilities going.Many, I am sure, have benefitted from her generosity.I think I am ready for the New Earth while I am still here with my wife,I dunno.Hope all is well with you.Lazy Sunday day...........melancholy but ok...........maybe time for a moronic mall visit...........Bubba.........

I'm so glad you got to view everything, Bubba.

What a wonderful, kind, gentle mind and soul.
God Bless Gilda and her Legacy Lives On!

Oh, Dear. You're feeling kind of melancholy?

Hi Dottie

Just a note to say I'm thinking of you, and others, just not writing so much lately...

Here's a song for you and Alex (the lyrics are a bit hard to hear but I liked the pictures):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S82cQ0nRMMM...feature=related

Here Comes The Sun
(George Harrison)

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Little darlin' it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darlin' it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Little darlin' the smiles returning to their faces
Little darlin' it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Little darlin' I feel the ice is slowly meltin'
Little darlin' it seems like years since it's been clear
Here come the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
It's all right, it's all right

Hey Dottie-----I was reading the New York Times (Nov-9-08) today and I came across a book review(oddly enough in the book review section) and there was a review about a parrot named Alex.I think he is a gray African parrot.While I didn't get a chance to read the whole review,the section I read was very cool.This little guy had remembered tons of facts and names and so much more that I cannot recall at this time.I think you can read the paper online and I would assume that it would include the book review section.I hope you get a chance to read it as I think you might enjoy the article.Hope all is well friend.
Your forum buddy,
Bubba..........

Me again-------I just looked up the NY Times and you can read the review online.The authors name is: Irene Pepperberg and she has 2 books.The titles of the books are: 'Alex and me' and 'The Alex studies' C U a little later.....Bubba...........

Aww thanks for those suns too Dottie. We all need more sunshine in our lives, don't we!!!

take care

Jan.

Hey there Dottie-------Thought I would check in.Haven't heard from you in a while.Hope your doin ok.Just checkin.
your pal,Bubba...........

Hello Dear Friends. Please forgive my being away for so very long. I've missed many of you terribly. I've missed LS terribly. Please also know that you and all your fur babies have been and remain in my daily thoughts and prayers. Unfortunately, stuff happens and sometimes a whole lot of stuff happens all at once without affording any sort of opportunity for a person to do much more than to attend to those important matters at hand. Hey, we've all been there.

I came by today to wish Alex a Merry Christmas as it was one of his favorite times of the year because of the season's television programs, music and Christmas songs that I'd sing while sticking colorful bows on Buddy dog and Styx kitty. No, I wasn't being mean nor cruel. Buddy loved it and Styx didn't care one way or the other. Alex really loved to watch the parades. He appeared to get more of a kick out of the Mummers than the giant balloons. I think it may have been due to their wild costumes and prancing but can't be certain. What a hoot.

So, I wish to print the poem I wrote for Alex last Christmas in my next post along with two lovely Christmas images and, as I said, I sure will do my darndest to return as soon as I can. Man, I really do miss youze guyze.

God bless each and every one of you and your fur babies. I wish you all a most Blessed Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or whichever holiday you celebrate this season. Many Bright Blessings of Love and Light.

Big Comforting Hugs to Each of You!!!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox
