  There is this show I use to watch when I was little called  "The Elephant Show" staring three people named Sharon, Lois and Bram.

    They would sing songs that would be stuck in my memory for the longest time.


 It was a show that took place in Canada with three people
     Sharon Hampson, Lois (Alda) Lillienstein and Bram Morrison. They would play songs in a show they would call the "Elephant show" that ran from the year I was born to 1989. Five years of my life contributed to those three.


   And sadly, one died. Lois Lillienstein had a rare cancer, and did not survive. Since her death, I've been thinking of the show. The songs and the elephant that would be in every episode. Like Mr. Rogers, they would teach kids a lot of things. Mostly kids that have illnesses, and diseases.

     But it taught kids lessons like sesame street does today, but with music. These three people were musicians and they would play instrument after instrument of songs they would write, but the most best known song of all is called "I love you" (better than that stupid purple dinosaur's version)  why?


   Skinamarinki-dink-I-dink  Skinamarinki-do I LOVE U! That answer your question. I think of it as a great song that they would mostly sing at the end of the show. Although the fashion sense and hair sense is very 80's the show was pretty much singing songs until you fell asleep.


                                             

  These three people and an elephant are what Canadian television was all about. Sesame street might still be around, but this was awesome. I miss this show and I miss Sharon and Bram. But I think losing someone from the show like Lois, well will make me miss it even more. RIP Lois and to the show. Skinamarinki-dink-I-dink Skinamarinki-do we'll miss you.

  Ciao for now bloggers.

Curb your enthusiasm

    The show "Curb your enthusiasm" is based off the show by Larry David who also created 'Seinfeld'


    He wrote many episodes, and every time I see it an episode or two, it feels like the every day life of an actual human being. But Larry's character is a total IDIOT!!!!

     But he thinks of thinks of things people would not normally say or do, such as they would yell at someone who parks on two lines and take up two spaces in a parking space, or will comment on everyday situations that is just not needed to be commented on, but we think it.

   He has some friends named Jeff and his wife Susan (played by both Susan Essman and Jeff Garlin)

 He has a girlfriend (or wife) that soon divorces, he brings back Seinfeld with all the Seinfeld cast during the seventh season only to his wife try to come back, but then divorce.

   A lot of seasons are very different. They even have a family called the 'Blacks' stay over at his house after a hurricane destroys most of there house.


   Love the theme music. Because when you hear it by the end of the show, you know something bad is going to happen. So many episodes tie into the whole series. Larry David is a genius and having help create Seinfeld, this has more of an adult theme to it.

 What do I mean by that? They curse more, there's more sex, and much more anger. Fighting, wrong doing... all in the mind of Larry David.

  Doubt this show will be coming back after the eight season finale where he pissed off Michel J. Fox, and ended going off to France at the end, but deep down, in the mind of Larry David, we're all thinking like him, but a little chicken to do what he does, so he decides to make a show about it. And in the end, it's better to be a show than having to deal with it in real life. And by the way Larry and Susie can't get along on the show but in reality are really good friends. I would call this Seinfeld 2: The Larry David Show. Till then, enjoy the reruns like you do Seinfeld. Ciao Bloggers!

WHAT THE HELL IS PURPLE STUFF?????

   I remember in the 90's there was this commercial for Sunny D, and I know this sounds stupid, but "What the hell was the purple stuff that kids were pushing away to get to the Sunny D?"
    Was it grape juice or something? I mean there is no explanation on why there should be purple stuff in someone's fridge.



   And in every commercial it is the same, every fridge had that "purple stuff"

     Every GD Fridge... Purple stuff
                                          Purple Stuff
PURPLE STUFF!!!!!!!!!!


      I will never understand this purple stuff, and again this is for Sunny D. A juice Drink that was not made entirely 100% of juice. maybe 10%.


    Most juice companies always say 10% juice these days. I know they are trying to become more into the drinks being made with actual juice but they can hide the smoke and mirrors and the small print at the bottom at the bottom isn't fooling anyone.
    For now beware what you drink and I will just stick to water.





 Really what is in that purple stuffy Sunny D? I guess we'll never know. Thanks for the Nostalgia and the memories of a really gross drink.

Padre Pio and me

    Who was Padre Pio? Why is he important to me? He gave me a second chance on life.



    Padre Pio was a priest in Italy who blessed many and healed the sick and dying. He healed almost everyone after seeing Jesus and knowing that he had scabs that would not come off.
   
    Almost everyone flocked to Italy to be healed and after his death, it seems he is still healing from beyond the grave. What am I talking about.

    So many people have felt the healing power of Padre Pio. They said prayers, brought rosaries and would pin a Padre Pio pin at their pillow hoping for miracles. I am one of them.




   I was really sick from my surgeries and I was suffering from all the illness from them, pneumonia, minor stroke and much more that made my parents sad. My aunt, who I love so much, decided to do something special. She got a Padre Pio pin for me when I was sick and in intensive care.
   As I was sleeping, I felt something miraculous happening to me. What it was, could never be explained by science. It was a miracle.


   A shadow of a man appeared  in the dark and touched my head (since I was going through surgery at the time) and my heart, where all the problems started, the pin was on my pillow. I wasn't imagining this. This was actually happening to me. Padre Pio was blessing me from beyond the grave. He was dead before I was born and he came to give me a second chance on life.

   I thank him every day. I know it was a wonderful, miraculous, holy experience that happens only once in a lifetime. My late aunt (not the one that gave me the pin) she would believe me. I told her and she believed me, and so did most of my family. My mom and dad and my other aunt. They all think that I am a miracle child. I am blessed. Thanks to him.




                                                                Thank you Padre Pio....

 

For a second Chance on life.

 

 

Ciao Blogger, and believe in Miracles

slow slow slllllllooooowwww

 Is it just me or is everything just becoming slow. Mostly on the internet, I doesn't feel as if there is enough mph today. I could be to do something with the wind, or it could just be me.

   As if a snail was just here and made the time go by slower
       and slower
          and slower




It seems there is no speed on the internet today is on the slow side and It doesn't want to pick up any slick. But I guess it's just having an off day like me.



   Tomorrow being Easter and getting ready for nothing but candy devouring and relaxation and just having a good time.

  Ever heard of the saying "Slow as Molasis" Some days are like that while others are just so fast that you can't believe your eyes.

     I guess some days you wish to have a day that goes by so fast, and then when you get to that special day (like a birthday or Christmas) and in a blink of an eye it goes by so fast.

   Can't believe this year is just half of the way over but you never know when it will stop dead in it's tracks.
          So enjoy the slow moments as much because they'll go by fast. The internet, well that's something I'm not going to worry about (for now) Ciao Bloggers and happy easter.
