Day 24 - Your Favorite Movie and What is it About

UGH!!!  I don't have any idea how to answer this question..... blah!!!

I have a few movies that I really like - a lot of old ones:


  • Giant - starring Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor and James Dean - about a cattle baron who marries a beautiful debutante and takes her home to Texas.  His sister leaves a small parcel to a ranch hand who ends up striking oil on the property and becomes extremely wealthy.  It follows them until they are grandparents.
  • Gone With the Wind - starring Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh.  Most people know what it's about, the south in the Civil War.
  • Guess Who's Coming to Dinner - starring Spencer Tracy, Katherine Hepburn and Sidney Poitier; their daughter brings home the man she wants to marry; though extremely open minded for the early 60's, the parents express their concern about their very white daughter marrying the very black Sidney.  Very ahead of it's time and awesome message about acceptance.
  • Wizard of Oz - Judy Garland - y'all know.
  • It's a Wonderful Life - Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed - what would the world be like if you were never born.
  • Shanendoah - Jimmy Stewart - a man searches for his son after he is taken as a prisoner of war during the Civil War when the man refused to allow himself or his sons to fight in the war.
  • True Grit - John Wayne, Kim Darby, Glenn Campbell - a young girl partners with a crotchety old marshal to find the man who murdered her father.
  • McLintock - John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara - awesome old western and very comedic.
  • Cat Ballou - Jane Fonda plays a school marm who becomes a criminal when she tries to find the men who killed her father.
  • Seven Brides for Seven Brothers - Howard Keel is the sexy oldest brother; and they all want women of their own
There are some newer movies (okay, not too new), too, that I can't help but watch whenever I see they are on:
  • Ferris Bueller's Day Off - Matthew Broderick - sluffing school and doing cool stuff
  • Vacation and Vegas Vacation - Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold
  • Ten Things I Hate About You - Heath Ledger - loved this movie!!
  • Sixteen Candles - Molly Ringwald - the geek wins the cool dude
  • and along that same line - She's All That - Freddie Prinze Jr.
  • Ever After - Drew Barrymore is Cinderella
  • Grease - John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John in the most fun movie - I saw it about 15 times in the theatres
On the other hand - I have to mention a couple of movies that make my heart very happy and they are ALL DISNEY!!!
  • Beauty and the Beast
  • Cinderella
  • Lady and the Tramp
  • and I think I really need to add Tangled to the list - it makes me very happy and I love watching it with the cutest princess ever!!

CoCo's Journey - Ah, Shit!!!

I am exhausted.  Physically.  Mentally.  Is there anything else??  Because I'm sure that is exhausted, too. I went to the doctor today.  I knew it was going to be a lot of information.  I had made a list.  I had my notebook.  I printed out all of the information from my emergency room visit on Saturday to take with me.  Blood tests.  CT Scan.  Urine test.  Plus, I brought my CT scan from March, because I noticed on it that I have a small umbilical hernia.  I was ready.  And I knew what I needed to fight for. I also came armed with gifts.  I love this doctor and his medical assistant so much.  I took them a gift of tortilla chips and homemade salsa.  And I wrote a love note on the bag.  That is how much I appreciate him.  They both loved it.  It even made Hayley get a little weepy, cuz she was having a bad day. I gave him all of my documents, and he went through the blood tests and such fr...

CoCo's Journey - Pre-surgery thoughts

I've been hanging out in my house for the most part.  Hiding from germs.  Hiding from phlegm.  Hiding from coughs.  Hiding from sneezes.  Hiding from snot. Trying to stay healthy until surgery day.  Not that I can hide very well.  Roommate daughter is literally coughing a lung up.  So, she can only hang out with me if she is wearing a mask.  I am bathing in hand sanitizer when I remember.  I'm taking elderberry gummies with a bunch of zinc and vitamin C in order to boost my immunities.   Poor Roommate. Not that I would know much if I did have a cold.  My nose has been running constantly since the day Jeff was pushed up my nostril.  I have a constant sore throat, due to the tube rubbing in the back of my throat.  The worst part is when I'm laying down and roll onto my left side.  It starts to move around and I feel like I'm choking.  It doesn't do it every time, but most of the time.  And I don...

CoCo's Journey - The Notorious Dr. Z

When I get my dressing charges I must wear a mask.  The nurse, too.  So we don't get germs on it!! So, I thought I would share a little bit more about how I got here.  But I'm going to be discussing how I was medically gaslighted, (gaslit -- who knows) and was not treated properly.  And due to that, I am now where I am. When I had my collapse on November 19, 2022, after my knee replacement, I was taken to the emergency room.  The doctor there is the one that told me I was malnourished.  He told me I needed to follow up with my primary care physician (PCP).  When I went to make an appointment with said PCP, I found out my PCP had left the organization, and I no longer had one.  After explaining my situation, they decided to set me up with an appointment with Dr. Z.  I was fine with it, because I needed to get to a doctor.  My first visit, he seemed OK.  But I found him a bit odd.  I'm completely fine with odd, as long as they kn...
