I was waiting up tonight for the premier of "Fuller House," the extension of Full House which aired a few years back. The premier, I had read, would be available at 3am, however, as I was starting to fall asleep I turned on Netflix, clicked on Fuller House and it was showing me Season 1, episode 1. This happened at 1am. I wonder what would have happened if I had turned it on at midnight. Oh well, what's a little time.
I thoroughly enjoyed the premier, and the next 5 episodes. What??? Netflix was showing all the episodes, so obviously they have been filming these shows for months. I'm not clear on why all the episodes are available, but as I started to watch episode 6 I turned it off and thought I would retire. It is now 6:15am on Saturday morning and I haven't been to bed yet. I wanted to write my critique of the show.
Jodie Sweetin is hot and Candace Cameron is still very pretty. There's no getting around it, John Stamos is handsome and still as lovable as ever. Dave Coulier and Bob Saget have aged nicely from the close of the original show. Lori Loughlin has lost some of her glamour, but getting her auburn hair back again with a darker lipstick would help. I missed Michelle, but all the new kids in the show are terrific with great personalities. They all have something different about them.
The writing is great. All the scenes will make you feel right at home. I loved a scene where Stephanie (Jodie) is changing the diaper of the new baby on the show (a boy who is gorgeous) and after she gets the diaper on, her phone is ringing and she can't find it, but can hear it's close by. She realizes it's in the diaper so she puts the diaper to her ear and talks to DJ. Hilarious. So many clever scenes in every episode
The only negative issue I have with this show is that the costume designer needs to do better for the girls. Stephanie went out on the town in a silver dress that was too small on her and looked like it came from Goodwill. She also wore in episode 1, a red dress that didn't cover her chest. It looked like her butt had gotten up there instead. Even Sofia Vergara wears classier clothes.
The new infant on the show is about the same age as the Olson twins. Nine or ten months and he, also a twin, is absolutely beautiful.
I can't leave out Kimmy Gibbler, who is now a regular and as kooky as ever, but oh so likeable. Her clothes are typical of the ones we had gotten used to.
Of the five episodes I saw, they are fantastic. Anyone who watched the show back then, watches the reruns daily from 7pm to 10pm, will love this show. I'm so glad I took a subscription on Netflix, as my Rabbit account, which carries Netflix, says Fuller House isn't available yet.

Heart Palpitations
Ever had heart palpitations? I am having them now. I just looked at Google to research on why people have them. I don't have any chest pressure or pain, but my heart beat is up a little bit, plus I have been up all night watching World War 1, 2 and the capture of Bin Laden. That was a 6 hour documentary and very interesting. I lived through the 2nd world war, but it was never in the U.S. We only felt the gas stamps and rations and some food rations.
During this time, "Diamond Horseshoe" opened at the Loma Theatre in Point Loma, my hometown and my mother and I went to see it. Betty Grable was starring in it. Those were the days.
The Loma Theatre is now a book store, but some of the Theatre memorabilia is still in the store. Brings back a lot of memories to visit there.

Melissa McCarthy Sheds Weight Loss
I am so glad to see Melissa McCarthy losing weight. Not only does she look better, but she looks younger too. Her partner in Mike and Molly has been losing also but Melissa is the big winner here. If she didn't start dropping pounds, she would be doing slap-stick films forever. She is a physical comic, even on her show - falling out her classroom window, falling in streets - in her bedroom - falling is part of the laugh process. With the weight off she can still be funny but not a clown comic.
On my last report on her weight I received a comment from "anonymous." I wonder if it was Melissa herself as my writings are for anyone to read. I didn't mean to offend her, I was just stating facts.
Weight is difficult. I've struggled with it all my life. I've been a 12 and a 20 and everything in between.
Actually I think Mike and Molly is really about Mike and his police partner and the guy in the coffee shop and Molly is about her mother, sister and her mother-inlaw.

Trump will lose to Clinton
No matter how Trump won the GOP preliminary, he will have to absorb at least 60% of the Democrats that now vote for Sanders and Clinton. A tough job. I believe Trump thinks he will win the GOP nomination, and I do too, but what his campaign manager is not advising him, is how he will overtake Clinton who will beat out Sanders for the final vote. Ultimately it will be Trump vs. Clinton, therefore Trump has to find a way to get those 60% Democrats by election time. He needs to start now. Clinton said she needs to find more support from a younger crowd. Trump needs to find support from more Democrats. His speeches need to eliminate slanderous comments of others and he should relax his tough demeanor. Those "gun-shooting" comments in the middle of Santa Monica, California, should be eliminated. While some people were laughing at that statement, Clinton was laughing knowing that whoever thought they might vote for Trump are now leaning in another direction. Who wants a President who would make a statement like that?
In watching both debates (Democrats and GOP) it's Hillary that is on top of each question. Why is that? Well, she's a former First Lady for 8 years and has been through everything political, then as Secretary of State and other politics of importance, she "knows" all the answers. She knows what will tick people off and she also knows what to say sweetly. She is an experienced woman who has more knowledge of the system than any other candidate. I think Sanders knows a lot too, but she has been behind the scene, she is a true candidate for President.
I think women in general are not as strong as men, not only in strength but in their emotion functions. A man can hear of a family member or best friend's death and still handle an urgent task, where a woman usually will have to have a recover period. So will men, after the urgent task is completed. It's just the way we're made.
I would like to see a Republican win this election because Clinton will just continue with what Obama has set forth so we will be in the same predicament we're in now, but with a white President.
America needs a change. If you vote for Sanders or Clinton we will be in the same boat for the next four, possibly eight years. If you vote for a Republican, change is definitely on the move.

Getting back to writing
For 8 of the 10 years I have lived in Tennessee, I had a Column in the Nolensville Dispatch. New owners bought the paper and I continued to work for them for two years. They have now given up the business, so the choice I have is to keep up my own website with news I want to share.
I haven't been good about keeping this website up to date because I was finishing my book, "You Can't Marry Them All" and other Hollywood Stories, available at Author House, Amazon and Ebooks. It took me a while to get the book done. I had the idea for it when I went to a "Chicago" convention in Las Vegas in 2008, but didn't really work on it until 2014 and 2015. I had never self-published before so I was new to the procedure. I know now if I ever do it again, I know the protocol for getting it published quickly.
I published at Author House because I wanted to do it my way. I don't think I would use them again, but maybe I would now that I know the system. Most of the people that work there have Asian dialects except the advertising/marketing department. Jeff Reuter speaks perfect English. Very easy to understand. I actually made everyone else send me an email of what they were trying to tell me. I have nothing against any nationality. I just couldn't understand them.
The book became available November 19, 2015 and I must say the cover is great, designed by Ziggy Kormandel a gifted artist. Ziggy's on Facebook. The story is about a woman from the age of six to 70+ and her life growing up. It's all about the men in her life. Lovers, husbands, bosses, friends and two male friends who both died of Aids.
The next book I write will be coming out the end of 2016 called "Uterine Cancer" - What every woman should know. I am a 14 year survivor of this type of cancer and I want to share what I went through.

The Health of Melissa McCarthy
Melissa McCarthy is a health risk for any movie or television show she is on. She has always had some meat on her, but since her TV show "Mike and Molly" she has gained, I would say, at least 100 additional pounds. She was obese when she started the show, but from her success she has blossomed to a whopping grossly, morbid obesity.
I've heard obese people say they're happy with their curves. They like showing them off. They are included in the party and are not at war with themselves by being overweight. Trust me. These are all lies and denials coming from the mouths of those who are overweight, gasping for air on a light walk.
I know, for a fact, what it's like to be overweight. I have been over and under (well, not really under, but "lower") many times in my lifetime. I am turning 78 this coming March, 2015. I know what it's like to be thin and want to be naked in front of a loved one. I also know what it's like to be overweight in a shower and have your lover open the shower curtain to say hello.
The beach has never been a place I love to go. First there is always sand in whatever you eat at the beach. I don't care how carefully it was wrapped at home, when it's opened at the beach there's always sand in it somewhere. But, the main reason I didn't want to go to see the waves and have fun at a BBQ is because I could only wear Capri's, not shorts and not a bathing suit. Girls who take care of themselves look good in their string bikini's but an overweight chick doesn't cut it even in a one piece. And if an overweight chick does goes out in public in swim attire, shorts or even a dress, she will be stared at. Not someone in a size 16 or even an 18, but get past size 20 and above, people will look. When Melissa goes anywhere she will be stared at.
Sex? When someone is grossly obese like Melissa, there's no way she's going to get on top, without the thought of losing her balance and crushing the person underneath her. Also, sometimes an obese person has to slide down to the end of the bed so her lover can walk in to her private parts if you get my drift. Fortunately for me I've never had to do that, but I was presented with that at one time. The next day I was on Atkins.
Overweight people don't breathe as well as thinner ones and talking for any length of time takes effort. Melissa was less weight on Gilmore Girls and why her producers have allowed her to gain extra pounds on Mike and Molly is beyond any kind of acceptance. She is a health risk at work and their insurance rates on her are extremely high. I know. I've been in the entertainment business over thirty years.
It's not easy to lose weight. Sometimes I've lost weight by not even trying. I just lost it, then gained it right back again. I know how I gain it. I eat too much. And I'm not an Italian food lover, BBQ or other high fat/calorie food. I do have a major downfall. Ice Cream, though I have cut down on that considerably because I'm a diabetic. My A1c will prove my dedication to not eating it regularly.
Melissa needs a sponsor from Overeaters Anonymous. There are celebrity groups so she doesn't have to go to an open group. Don't stop at 50 pounds. That's only the beginning and she showed us this weight loss almost two months ago. What's happened since then?
Her movie "Tammy" I think, was the story of how a fat girl can attract a healthy, average size good looking boy. I liked this movie and thought it didn't get the attention it should have. She and her husband wrote it. Ben Falcone. I have always thought Falcone was a bit on the light side, portraying someone with feminine gestures. It is not uncommon for bi-sexual men to marry straight women. They usually have an open marriage. I'm not saying this union is one of those.
Melissa is a physical comedienne. She does it well, but she is also a gifted dramatic actress. Keep up the good work McCarthy. It will pay off in your longevity in show business.

My Youngest Son Visits Nashville
I don't care how old a child gets, as an adult when they come to visit it's so exciting. You want to make their visit memorable - so that means no fighting. ha ha. You plan things, where you'll go, who you'll see, what you'll eat, but all of a sudden that week's visit has come to an end. You drive your child to the airport or watch his car drive away and you're sad. As your child gets older, so do the parents. My youngest son who will be visiting with me April 7 through the 14th is turning 42 in May, but in my mind he is still in a crib, waiting to be picked up from an afternoon nap. The time has flown by. I just turned 78. When he leaves he will take a part of me with him, even though he may never know it. I'm looking forward to seeing Lauren James Scheff.
