DON’T TOUCH ANYTHING!!
DON’T TOUCH ANYTHING!
I can’t tell what a week it has been.
It was incredible.
But, not in a good way.
I just got out of the hospital for a severe gastrointestinal bacteria infection.
Not the flu.
I repeat BACTERIAL.
Like little bugs, one gets in and they multiply at such a rapid rate, and your body is trying to expel it– too scary.
It was so severe, and unrelenting, that literally there was a moment when I thought it was gonna be like the Muppets man, Jim Henson. He had a gastrointestinal infection, and if he would have just gone into the hospital for antibiotics he would never died.
So, as my natural exfiltration of both ends is me was going on for hours and hours and hours, it seemed like the only thing to do was to go to the ER.
I have never been so sick in my entire life.
And, as I lied on the hospital bed, I was so grateful for technology and antibiotics. I thought to myself–
What do people do before antibiotics?
PEOPLE DIED!
That sucks, man.
Seriously sucks.
I was advised by the doctors, however, that this was something that I must’ve picked up in a PUBLIC AREA.
Meaning…
Holding onto a grocery cart…
Touching a bathroom door…
Pressing an elevator button… You name it.
YIKES!
I always thought that if I didn’t use all of antibacterial soaps, and just used regular soap, that it would build my immunity system to fight off just regular types of bacteria.
However… This was not a regular type of bacteria.
It’s called or fecal oral rabid transmission.
Let me repeat that… (If you can stomach it, literally!)
It’s called FECAL ORAL RABID TRANSMISSION.
Yuck.
SUPER YUCK!
So as I was laying in the hospital bed, after they admitted me from ER, I was rethinking my life and how I might change some of my day-to-day processes.
That is totally F-ed!
Just because somebody out in the public, I can’t seem to keep their hands and body clean, and spread their sickly germs all over the place — I had to face God.
And trust me, I did.
So near to tell you, when you see those people wearing gloves out in public and those little facemasks, I don’t think it’s going to be me. But I totally understand now, why they wear those things.
Because getting seriously ill is scary.
I don’t want my life to change too much, just because I had this extreme infection.
I don’t want to be a prisoner, trying to keep myself away from germs.
But honestly,
I’m gonna think twice about where I touch. If my elbow can hit the elevator button, that’s what my elbow’s going to do.
No biggie. Just enough to keep me well.
So after those two glorious days in the hospital, plus all the hours that I spent in ER, let this be a lesson to all of us:
– to wash our hands
– to be careful where we touch
– don’t touch your face eyes and nose more than you need to. Those are main spots where germs get in
– don’t use my makeup at the makeup counters, you don’t know who’s been there before
Plus, this is a horrible flu season… All these things may keep us healthier.
I’m still on antibiotics, and I am TRULY GRATEFUL FOR THEM.
Stay well, my friends!
Love is out there, but so are seriously freaky germs.

Partied Last Night, Y’all…!
Partied with some old
(well, not so old,
just long-standing,
well some of them are old,
some of them are old-er,
and actually some of them are short,
but nothing is wrong with short,
and some of them are tall,
but I love them all).
To make a long story short (too late)
We had a good time.
SWEET!
😉

Dick Clark… Dies at 82.
It’s amazing to think that Dick Clark actually died.
The ageless, flawless man.
Who could have thought that he was actually mortal?
He started at American Bandstand.
American Bandstand.
You can google that show if you need to, or just click here: American Bandstand
What an incredible journey his life has had.
So many people learnerd how to dance because of that show.
They learned how to rock ‘n roll.
But, The most miraculous thing about Dick Clark… was that he never aged.
Hmmm…
What a thought.
I could buy into that.
I could be digging that.
Oh, yeah.
So, that ageless thing has done him well…
And the fact that he wasa brilliant guy in front of the behind the cameras.
Not too shabby.
$100 Million at 82, means you’re doing something right.
I heard he was a great guy.
I just need to know the name of his plastic surgeon… or at least his make-up lady.
😉
Rest in Peace.
Another legend now in the outfield…

“Act of Valor” Director, Cinematographer and Writer meet Belle Karper

Yeah, Baby!
You read right!
I met the BIG guys of ACT OF VALOR!
So, I thought it appropriate to write this bit on the morning of their opening.
Yes, boys and girls, get your tickets ready! ACT OF VALOR opens Tonight!
This is Kurt Johnstad.
You know him even though you think yoou don’t…
He wrote:
300
True Vengeance
Body Snatchers…
The list goes on.
Next up… Shane Hurlbut, Cinematographer (always hate spelling that word!)
Here is another good dude!
Yes. Got you again. This guy has been around.
Terminator Salvation
Swing Vote
Semi-Pro
We are Marshal…
And others. Oh yeah!
Now we meet the BMOC!
Director, Scott Waugh
Okay… so good thing I am happily married, right?
He’s a cutie. But, rest assured that he is married with two beautiful girls, so hands off, okay?
He started in the Entertainment business when he was just a boy… Since his dad was the Original SPIDERMAN!
How many people can say that, yo!
He is most notably known for
Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
Not too shabby!
And, he does his own stunts, yeah! Tough guy through and through.
Well, my husbo and son are going to see “Act of Valor” tonight while I go up to Mammoth and get hammered with the girls on our…
Drum roll, please….
MAMMOTH CHICK WEEKEND!
And, yes, that did deserve ALL CAPS!
