comedy

2011-10-07T11:20:00.000-07:00

Went to comedy club last nite with E, T, S, and another couple (about 55). Nice to get away but they are as raunchy as ever. Had a good time. One guy was actually from Hollywood Comedy Central I believe, so of course you know he had to be good. But most of it is about sex and later you get tired of it..but I'm glad I went and it was nice. For a change. I had an opportunity an 80 year old still has so I bless God for it altho He will forgive the subject matter I'm sure.

god, are you goodlooking

BUT LET ME TELL YOU...E. DROVE ME TO THE PLACE, IT IS HUGE AND HAS HUGE BUILDINGS ONLY 2 MILES FROM HERE. I SAID WHERE THE HECK HAVE I BEEN? I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS PARK WITH FOUNTAIN AND GORGEOUS. WELL I GO INTO THE PLACE, FILL OUT PAPERS, AND THEN SHE CALLS ME IN. I GO INTO THIS HUGE ROOM THE SIZE OF OUR LIVING ROOM AND DINING ROOM WITH ONLY A GLASS WALL WHERE YOU SEE A LAKE, WATERFALL, AND THE OTHER GORGEUS BUILDINGS. IT WAS LIKE A MOVIE SCENE.....THEN THE DR. COMES IN AND I THOUGHT I WAS IN HOLLYWOOD. HE INTRODUCES HIMSELF ABOUT IN 30'S I'D SAY WITH THE DENTAL ORAL DEGREE. AND HE WAS THE HANDSOMEST GUY I'VE EVER SEEN. LIKE GEORGE CLOONEY, ETC. ETC. TYPE.

i LOOK AT HIM AND WAS MESMERIZED AND HE SAID I'M TOM L----- AND I GAVE HIM MY NAME. I LOOKED AT HIM AND SAID GOD, ARE YOU GOODLOOKING. YOU LOOK LIKE YOU JUST CAME OUT OF HOLLYWOOD (HAD NO DRUGS) YOU'RE THE HANDSOMEST DR. I'VE EVER SEEN. HE HAD A CUTE SMILE AND HE SMILED AND LAUGHED AND SAID, WELL THANK YOU, AND WAS SORT OF SPEECHLESS THAT SOMEONE WOULD SAY THAT TO HIM. THEN GAVE ME SHOTS AND CONVERSATION WAS REALY OVER AS HE CUTOUT THE ROOT AND THEN I WAS FINISHED....DEAR GOD I WILL NEVER FORGET HIM.

I THINK A GAL AT CHURCH HAD HIM BECAUSE SHE SAID TO ME LAST WEEK, IS HE THAT HANDSOME DR. NAMED TOM...I SAID, I DON'T KNOW, I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM.......IT WAS AN ADVENTURE.

WELL, I'M NOT DEPRESSED ANYMORE.

A blessed Halloween

2010-11-01T09:53:00.000-07:00

Happy Halloween beautiful lady.

Love you much. Miss you on this day.....Have a blessed happy Halloween....LOL.

Little hookers

2010-11-01T09:48:00.000-07:00

At church Wednesday after service we had the trunk treat or treaters....all the parents sit in back of their cars or on top and have candy and give them to the cute little kids. Oh they were so cute and it was fun. One kid about 3, blonde like you, had these gorgeous red plastic heeled sandals on that lit up with neon lites. It was sooooooooooooooooo cute. She looked like a little Hooker.

A sense of accomplishment

2009-10-26T10:52:00.000-07:00

It's been a crazy but accomplishing week. Started out by breaking the front door lock, which is OK now. Then Monday lost my tooth bridge, which was a hard job for him to put back.

City girl + cowhand

2009-10-23T13:48:00.001-07:00

Would you believe that when I was young, a city girl, whenever we went to the Catskill Mountains in the summer, there were these great looking farmers and cowhands doing their farm work probably on their parents' farms, which were like bed and breakfasts, only on farm property. Very nice though. Gosh, I must have fallen in love twenty times. This is the type of guy I wanted to marry. Caring for animals, working hard, handsome, sweet, not afraid of work, I had all these fantasies in my mind that were totally crazy.

Even tho it's just part of the marketing program

2009-10-16T13:48:00.003-07:00

I'm at Farm Fresh buying something and want a book of stamps. The guy who was waiting on me says to another guy, hey John can you get this BEAUTIFUL lady a book of stamps. I know he must have been blind, but it felt good being talked to that way again...even tho it's just part of the marketing program in the store. I walked out of the store nearly crying, thinking, when does a 78 year-old woman get spoken to like this????????????????

I now have to write your dad a cheery poem for work like,

God bless your day and let them Pay.

Marvelous brownies = suffering

2009-04-16T10:09:00.000-07:00

Had a nice time with J yesterday. She brings over these marvelous
brownies and they are thick with nuts and I shouldn't eat them but did.
So here we go suffering a little again. Will have to watch diet and eat
non fibrous foods today.

Hole in the floor, it was all good

2009-04-15T11:48:00.000-07:00

So we drove down...[to] the SURF AND TURF restaurant...Nice. And we had a great young waitress, so funny. I had just 10 shrimp as an appetizer, rolls, and coffee, [and E] had crab cake sandwich and french fries, it was all good.

We laughed because my coffee cup was so full I asked [the waitress] to take some out, and she turned around and (not angry) just poured it on the carpet. We looked astonished and E said, did you pour the coffee on the carpet? She said, yes we always do that. We laughed, she laughed and it made the whole dinner funny. We couldnt believe it. We started saying, I thought there was a hole in the floor and this is what you waitresses do, pour stuff into the floor hole.

Ego on wheels

2008-06-26T10:12:00.000-07:00

Hi, good to hear from you my darling...I'm happy for you. The gardening sounds like you are taking after your OMA, me. While I didn't do much every green plant or tree I planted grew into a monster....It is such good exercise but very frustrating to me. The one beautiful pink blossomed bush I planted near the garage and had high hopes for to look marvelous did well and then February came and destroyed it with frost. I was so discouraged I said this is not worth the work...I like my planter in the front since I can mix the fresh flowers from a store like Farm Fresh with some artificial greens and it is little work and looks pretty nice ALL YEAR ROUND.

Your dad just told me about the Oma Bike. I said, "You mean instead of a Schwinn it's called Oma? Is it made in Germany?" He thought so, didn't know. So I egotistically said, "How marvelous that I make such an impression on people that a company in another country would want to name a bike AFTER ME." He said, "Yes, I thought you would say that." Ha. Sorry, it's the ego thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gotta keep it in the family.

Always thinking ahead

2008-06-26T10:04:00.000-07:00

Nice hearing from you again. It's very hot here.

Your dad and I had coffee at Starbucks this morning. I brought my own snack.

Do you wear slacks at work?

2008-06-21T09:48:00.001-07:00

You sound pretty chipper for now and I'm sure soon you will sound chipperer. Ha. That is, as soon as someone discovers you. Make sure your hair is blonde and cut stylish like it used to be. Get a barber to cut it cheaply and then color it with one of the store products like you used to.....once your gorgeous hair looks sharp you can work on the rest of your wardrobe....Do you wear slacks at work? Hope you don't need hose...and a skirt. Cost too much.

What you could do later is get yourself a catalog (Penney's, Macy's, etc.) and send me some photos of the kind of things you like then if I can find them cheaper here I can send something. Tear out the pages and send them to me. It's just an idea....Well will close now.

Love, Oma

Bless you and keep your friends and you out of harm...Hugs

Where the sun don't shine

2008-04-24T19:49:00.000-07:00

I know I will catch you this week and hope all is good in N. Y. C. and hope it isn't as dreary as here. Get the POPE out of here so the sun can shine. Ha.

Let them eat snoepdoos

2008-04-24T19:36:00.000-07:00

Oma definitely isn't toothless, but when I found this box of goodies that the food designer Marije Vogelzang made for someone's toothless Oma, I wanted one for my Oma, too.

Snoepdoos for all Omas! Now!

A Visit to Oma's House, U.S.A.

2008-02-06T19:29:00.000-08:00

To show that your patience hasn't gone unnoticed as you have stayed tuned in the interminable wait since my last post, I reward you, dear reader, with this: a mini photo-journey to Oma's home.

Contrary and always sticking to her guns, this year Oma decided that she wanted a Christmas tree, but that she didn't want to jump through all of the hoops and hoopla. Et voila, the Oma evergreen: palm tree, dressed.

One might say we are very well-versed in sour krauts.

While the rest of the world may be obsessed with HD flat screen TVs that will fit in a back pocket, Oma is not. She prefers a big TV. The biggest TV possible. In fact, Oma's console TV is so big that they don't even make 'em that big anymore. So when hers broke, Oma couldn't bear to throw it out. She just bought a little TV to put on top of it.

Oma visits NY

2007-09-28T10:21:00.000-07:00

I worry abut my eating habits when I get [to NY]. My body seems so used to having foods at a regular time that it worries me to take a trip because one can't have that so handy. But I will work it out somehow. I know you are not a meat eater but I need proteins (not cheese altho I love love it, it doesn't love me anymore), I know you eat a lot of salads, I don't eat any, ha. But love lettuce. So maybe if you have a loaf of bread of some kind and some cold cuts in a package anything I could make a sandwich if we are in the apt. and it's near noon, and maybe a coffee cake for $3.98 or something sweet.

From a follow-up email later in the day:
Hi, listen when I mentoned Cheese, I Do eat Pizza tho no matter what. I have been getting the veggie pizza at Schlotsky's and boy is it good.....Do that when we go to church.

After I get a good story going

2007-09-06T23:17:00.000-07:00

Three weeks ago they recalled my Cadillac for seatbelt readjustment. They gave me a new one. Two nites ago I wanted to put mine on and the band won't go into the slot. However, thru some crazy thing that ONLY I COULD DO...a piece of small paper (like a receipt) got trapped in my front seatbelt lock. Can't believe it. If I take it to Caddy and explain it he may charge me $100 or more for fixing it or changing seat belt. So Fri. I'm taking it in and just saying the new seat belt doesn't work. Of course, he will find the thin slip of paper inside the fastener and tell me that's what caused it. I then have to look at him in a stupified manner and say, "Oh, my, how could that get in the lock? It must have been when my granddaughter ha ha ha ha ha ha drove the car last week."

So maybe with that story he will give me a free belt and lock. Is that o.k. with you Diva?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I can just see you reading this and saying, "I can't believe Oma would do that" to your mom or someone. Hahahahahahahaha I just won't tell them your name and address. Hahahahahahahah I'm sure there will be no charge after I get a good story going.

Healthy, wealthy, wise and beautiful

2007-09-04T20:10:00.000-07:00

City Island is not far, you must visit there sometime. We didn't swim there but I met a cute guy there who was going to Rensselaer institute to study aeronautical engineering and dated him for a while. Met him at a Polish dance one Sat nite. Real nice tall blonde handsome guy. He also owned a sailboat since he lived with his brother and family at City Island, and they sailed a lot.

My dermatologist now calls anyone with a mole or several hundred of them on their backs etc. SUN WORSHIPPERS.....others too have said, "Oh those come from when you are young, they do not develop when you are older. Usually people who were sun worshippers in their youth have them." I never heard of that term before and didn't consider myself one...but must admit I WAS...

Taking off your bathing suit at home to shower and seeing the gorgeous browned skin made you feel healthy, wealthy and wise and beautiful and ready to take on the world. I still remember the feeling. I always wore a one piece suit. I was very thin about 120 lbs. always and one bathing suit was sort of a pinkish lavender with shiny speckles of silver and it was all puckered, one piece...Really cute.

But I dont remember ever going to the beach with Opa, he came from a different world...So a bathing suit never was the "eye catcher" for catching Opa, it was the tight white top and bright red short shorts that I wore that did it. I remember it well!!!!!!!!!!!

Life Day with Regis

2007-09-03T11:58:00.000-07:00

Mayor Bloomberg was just on giving Regis and Kathy a plaque to call today or some day Life Day with Regis or something. They were grateful. He was talking about the movie industry and how it started in N.Y. C. and then took off to Calif....well now they are getting it back and he said every day you will see camera men and actors etc. etc. in the streets shooting or just doing their other work in movie industry and TV in N. Y. ........So I'm thinking of you and hope you run into one of them that catches your beauty and gets you in the industry. MY BEAUTY QUEEN.....they WILL find you....

It had the colors of a Picasso. All cotton. Stunning skirt and material.

2007-09-02T10:38:00.000-07:00

You know I was in a store yesterday and there were three long gorgeous skirts, and I wondered if you ever wear long ankle length skirts with a sweater or some kind of top in your lifestyle?????? Work, or dressy? If I sewed I would have bought them for myself and if I was younger.

The first was the most beautiful Indian type print cotton long wrap around skirt in a shade of green/blue/aqua I have ever seen with (those bright Indian cloth colors) and partially with a beautiful print. If you opened it you would have a great amount of cloth to make whatever you wanted, a short skirt with a vest or top to match etc. etc., or wear it with any solid colored top. It had the colors of a Picasso.
All cotton. Stunning skirt and material. It tied on the side.

Second was a black polyester with some small flowers and at the bottom a 4 inch border of larger flowers, waist elasticized. Doesn't sound as lovely as it was with any solid top for any time of day or nite. Very lightweight.

Third was a reddish Indian cloth skirt, gorgeous shade of deep red with marvelous print (again Indian), don't remember what type waistband, down the front it had this two inch piece of cloth which was attached to the skirt but looked like it would open the skirt. Unusual to describe. These two skirts looked like they were well made. Gorgeous.

Next was all black polyester but one would never believe it...it looked like 100 per cent cotton. It was solid black lace over solid black cotton. I could see it in a fashion book.

So I'm just writing about these skirts because they really caught my eye, and at that time i wondered if you ever wear long skirts or do you wear short, short skirts, when you don't wear jeans or pants.

Because of your lifestyle which is so diversified it is hard for me to try and guess what your style is at this time in N. Y. C. with your jobs and life. Do you mostly always wear jeans and a top? What about when it gets real hot? Do you wear those short short skirts with a top? If you have a moment let me know, it's fun to think about clothes sometimes instead of other things........

You are just too handsome now for "words."

2007-09-01T23:00:00.000-07:00

This is from a letter that Oma recently sent to my brother:

Saw a movie called GEORGIA RULES with Jane Fonda, which is about some Mormons etc. who live in Idaho. It mentions Boise on the road sign and the country side was beautiful. Full of mountains and all. Everyone knew everything going on in the town and every personal thing about the other. It was a pretty good movie, the handsome guy she falls in love with at the end in some way resembles you.

Now he has long blondish hair so there is no comparison there, but he is thin and I know you have lost weight and are just too handsome now for "words." But there is something in his look and eyes that reminds me of you. They really meet in a funny way and he falls in love with her immediately altho he is planning on going to a Mormon retreat or something for one year out of the country...IS THAT YOU??? HA

...whatever you call that disease where people need LIGHT.

2007-09-01T22:55:00.000-07:00

How is weather there? Probably better than our Jan. and Februaries here. Gosh are they dull and grey. We are thankful for every sunny day there is. We had two this weekend...Ha.

If I lived in a snowy, dark place, like a more Northern area, I'd be in big trouble, as I think I might have SIDS or whatever you call that disease where people need LIGHT. I keep at least three lights on in the house all the time. Ha.

One deserves a new commode after 40 years.

2007-09-01T22:52:00.000-07:00

We aren't going to Church tonite because I'm too lazy to drive.

Just had a new commode put in the main bath. Can't even tell except that it's immaculate. Also shaped more like an almond. Ha. As you know I scratched the old one up taking water out.

Now I'm glad I did after 40 years. One deserves a new commode after 40 years.

With my hair done I shall have to sleep sitting up tonite.

2007-08-31T11:54:00.000-07:00

It was funny because I haven't shampooed my hair probably for one year now. I've had it done every two weeks. Which means, as you know, I have to keep it in for church and wherever I go, and that isn't easy when it's windy, rainy and just awful weather here since Jan and Feb, Mar and now April. At first I was able to do it pretty well, but as you know after a cut sometimes it doesn't look as good as you thought, then the frosting comes out and it's always a "going around circles type situation."

I had it foiled a little several months ago and was happy. However, no one ever said anything. Couldn't believe it, since there were blond streaks going down the front bang, delicately done. I was happy. Didn't look cheap. Good job. So I had to make the decision that people were jealous..Hahahahahahahah. Especially the old ladies my age who believe God gave us gray hair to convey our years of wonderful experiences of LIFE we have had. B.....S..... But the last few weeks I have had it teased more smoothly like a pageboy type in front and so it shows off the frosting more, but the hairstyle came out quicker. It stands to reason that ladies who frost their hair wear their hair smooth not teased. The teasing hides the frosting. But it was funny today I went in to have it cut and shampooed and teased up some and then came home and received your note. It was sort of funny, but so cute. Opa and I laughed. As you know, as the teasing comes down I still like the "do". At my age I'm happy that I still have hair on my head, some women get balding spots during menopause in their 40's. Its awful, and sad.I've abused my hair so much over the years its a wonder I still have any hair on my head. I must be lucky. It's like my face........... I never paid much attention to my skin much either until about 45 when I started using moisturizing cream. Used soap all my life. I'm sure that shocks you, who have taken care of your skin at an early age.....that's good.

Well thanks for the little sweet card, with my hair done I shall have to sleep sitting up tonite. Ha. Thats one thing about letting it "go." Bed is so comfortable as you toss your head from one side to another not caring about a "do."

Showed my dentist's asst. your photo the other day, as she knew your dad as a patient over there. As everyone........she was flabbergasted at your beauty..........You just Wow them all.

Are you able to WOW any guys yet down there, or no time for such trivial matters????

Get out to a dance and meet some guys before you're 50

2007-08-31T11:31:00.000-07:00

Well I'm glad that things are going well at work. Your girlfriends are cute to say the things they say. Wonder what they are really thinking ha. ha. Me sending you winter scarves in August. Well, it will be cold before you know it.

Girl, you have to get out to a dance or some social activities to meet some guys before you're 50. Life goes fast. Know you work very hard and boy and girlfriends always want a lot of attention. But you have to start having some fun. You know our minister's son at church is single and is cute. Also one of the elders there has a cute son, he works at Ruth's Chris steak house and didn't want to go to college and so he quit, but he is very smart and wants to learn a lot about wines and go to wine school or whatever you call it and be a wine connoisseur. When your dad and I ate there we talked about wines and he knows a lot already. His parents are swell people. Real cute and down to earth. Oh well why am I mentioning this, you probably have guys running after you wherever you go and you're turning them all down because there is something wrong with them. Well there is something wrong with ALL MEN.....Ha.

Well I shall close now and go to bed, I'm starting to fall asleep at the machine. Ha. It was good hearing from you and glad you are o.k. and life pretty good. Make things happen, Babe...You can do it!!!!!!!!!!! Love you much and hope we see you soon. Hugs all the way......love Om and all
