My Dailies 2016
This is my daily journal like page where back in September of 2006 I decided to start writing down my thoughts
for every day in my web site here.
Also, there is a place called: “My Dirty Dailies”,.. for those days when I might use a little bad language. The button
to get in is sitting in this black area in the bottom right corner,.. and it requires a password to get in.
Here is a more convenient way to get over to my Video Archives page - My Videos ...

Riverside Panerra Bread don’t carry that soup for some reason,.. then I came home and put away my things,..
cleaned my ice chest,.. gave my Mother her soup,.. read my emails,.. did my daily work notes,.. and I’m not sure

That’s about it for my Monday.

Today I worked at a house in Redlands California painting walls & ceilings,.. and I went to Home Depot for job
supplies and picked up a little Redwood tree for my house, maybe the Gophers wont eat it,.. then I came home and
put away my stuff,.. cleaned my ice chest,.. read my emails,.. did my daily work notes & accounting,.. and I’m not
sure what I’ll do for the rest of my day...
I’ve thought about getting rid of this web site... It’s like I think about it every year. But something always leads me to
believe that there is still a reason to have it. Seems like it’s been almost 18 years since all this couch writing stuff
began. I don’t watch a lot of TV. I don’t have anything against it,.. mostly just busy with other things.
But because this was so television related at one time I was thinking today that I could be talking about more of that
type stuff here when I have anything worth saying.
The thing I thought about saying today is about that Christmas movie that Mariah Carey directed and acted in. The
first time I saw that movie I thought,.. if it was me playing that role that Mariah Carey was playing I would of told
them I don’t like how your filming me so Bold. I’d prefer it if you just filmed me like you film every body else. Just
film it normal instead of making it look like your placing extra emphasis on me for some reason.
She might think differently,.. but that was the first thing that stood out for me while watching that movie. Another
thing that stood out was the music. I never heard that song before, so when that little girl sang it there in the movie
it was like it really was her song. I thought great job with the music portion.
I liked the movie and the acting looked fine too,... especially after seeing it a 2nd and 3rd time.
That’s about it for my Wednesday.

Today I worked at a house in Redlands California installing electrical outlets, re-installing cabinet doors, touching up
and finishing a laundry room,.. and I went to Lowe’s for job supplies,.. went to Stater Brothers for some groceries,..
came home and put away my things,.. cleaned my ice chest,.. read my emails,.. did my daily work notes &
accounting,.. and for the rest of my day I might work on repairing a window that my air conditioner sits in.
One of my favorite movies I’ve seen on the Hallmark channel is a Valentines Day movie. I don’t remember the name
of it but the lead man character played a fireman,.. cant recall his name right now but he has at least 3 brothers that
are also actors. And what stood out for me in this film was the kids. He had a son that was interested in a young girl
and just everything that went on between them and how they handled it and talked to each other I thought it was so
cool.
I saw a lot of new Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel. I never knew there was so many Christmas movies out
there that I haven’t seen. I thought that’s really good, because usually I’m watching the same Christmas movies
every year.
That’s about it for my Thursday.

Today I worked at a house in Redlands California painting doors & jambs,.. and I went to Home Depot for job
supplies,.. came home and put away my things,.. cleaned my ice chest,.. boiled some eggs,.. threw in a load of
laundry,.. read my emails,.. and did my daily work notes...
Another movie that I saw on the Hallmark channel that stood out to me in a couple ways,.. not sure I ever saw the
name of it,.. but the main girl characters name was Annabell and she really didn’t eat sweets but she did in the
movie. One reason it stood out was all about the name Annabell. It’s like it’s an old name that you don’t hear very
often anymore.
There was 2 Annabell’s in my life. One was the Mother that lived across the street from the house I grew up in,.. and
the other was a bartender at my Dad’s bar called the Hi Ho. Annabell use to let my Dad bring me into the bar when I
was just a kid and she’d serve me root beer.
The other reason it stood out to me was because the main male character in the film had this way of making “getting
together with a new girl” look so very easy. I thought they did a good job with that and thought it was cool.
That’s about it for my Friday.

Here’s a movie I saw on the Hallmark channel that was a surprise like... it was because when they were advertising
it,.. I thought,.. I don’t know about that one,.. not sure that a movie about Swans is one for me.
But it was one for me. I liked that movie.

Today I worked at a house in Redlands California caulking siding and priming exterior windows,.. then I came home
and put away my things,.. cleaned my ice chest,.. updated my cloud files from my Van PC,.. read my emails,.. did my
daily work notes and accounting,.. and payed my bills.
Here’s another movie I like that I saw on the Hallmark channel,.. The main male character had a son that decided it
was time to get a girl friend for his Dad. The son did it online until he found a girl he liked then invited her to come
and meet his Dad. Where she didn’t know that she was talking to his son and the Father didn’t know anything about it
until she showed up.
She was a Pot Pie maker... which made me think about making my own pot pies because I never liked pot pies in the
past,.. to finicky,.. didn’t like all the items that they put in them.
One of the reasons I liked this movie was because I liked the match up. Her and the sons Father seemed like a good
match.
That’s about it for my Sunday.

Today I worked at a house in Redlands California mostly paint interior doors,.. then I came home and put away my
things,.. cleaned my ice chest,.. read my emails,.. and did my daily work notes.
Here’s a movie I saw on the Hallmark channel that reminds me of how I like when a love story is going good and
positive,.. but I don’t like it when they take a turn for the worse and get negative. Its the movie where the main male
character is a fireman and the main femals character is an emergency operator. Maybe a 911 call operator or
something like that,.. and she had 2 kids,.. a boy and a girl... She new the fireman by the name Cowboy I think it
was,.. through her work calls and ended up meeting him after he got hurt,.. and because she had a room for rent at
her house he ended up being able to rent out her room to rehabilitate and they got to know each other and like each
other.
I liked the movie until it went negative, but then it picked back up in the end and ended on a positive note. This was
another movie where the kids stood out in a good way.
And speaking of that,.. there’s a show on the hallmark channel where the kid that’s not in the middle,.. and it’s not
just him,.. it can be all the arguing that’s going on,.. but sometimes while watching that show it can be like,.. I’ve had
about enough of this stuff.
For the people of that show,.. I have got some laughs from that show from time to time,.. and I was once a teenager
with an attitude too.
One day in wrestling practice my coach decides that he’s got me pegged and tells every body in practice,.. Rick is the
type of guy that,.. when his dad tells him to do something,... “he does it”...
He got me wrong,.. but I didn’t say anything and just chuckled along with everybody else...
No,.. my dad usually went with a bossy route... he’d pop his head through the door of my bedroom with an angry look
on his face and yell,.. “get out there and mow that lawn,... NOW”...
And I would think to myself,... No,.. I don’t like the way he said that,.. I’m not doing that. And I wouldn’t do it.
Probably every time he went with that type of telling me to do something... I wouldn’t do it.
So one day in my high school years I was out partying at lunch time and came back to school where they were having
like a student council,.. class president like voting day in Gym. I was sitting at a desk behind a friend that looked like
he was all serious about what was going on, so I was laughiing at him and throwing parts of my taco and my french
fries at him,.. and out of the corner of my eye I could see the whole wresting team was all gathered at the rear door
of the Gym looking kind of excited about something...
Right about that moment my wrestling coach picked me up out of my seat and proceeded to carry me out of the Gym.
His grip was so tight it felt like steel,... I couldn’t break it....
When we got out the Gym door he set me down,.. pointed out to the track,.. and said,.. “go run laps”....
So I ran right out there and started running laps,.. which I’ve thought is why he thought he had me pegged with that
does what his father tells him stuff...
But what he didn’t know is while I was running around the track out there,.. I thought,.. “I don’t have to do this”,.. so
I glanced over at the wrestling practice room to make sure no one was out there watching me and took a detour over
to my car and eventually got myself home.
That’s about it for my Monday.

Today I worked at a house in Redlands California painting interior trim and preparing bath cabinets for painting,.. then
I came home and put away my things,.. cleaned my ice chest,.. read my emails,.. and did my daily work notes and
accounting...
One of my favorite things in movies is a real good love story... Avatar is one of my all time favorite movies and I’d say
that it’s in big part due to the love story in there. Another reason I liked this movie is that it reminded me of the best
book I’ve ever read called Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan,.. volume 1 or the very first book. And I say that because I
tried reading volume 2 and it just wasn’t the same. I couldn’t get into it.
Another movie I saw on the Hallmark channel where I liked the love story is that movie where the girl main character
that worked with her sister as interior design people,.. and she had 3 fiances that proposed in big ways but she bolted
from the scene without making it to the alter every time. Her dad started calling her “Bolt”.
I liked this movie and it even gave me the impression that those 2 may of hit it off for real. I saw the second movie
that they did together too,.. but it didn’t really have the same spark for me.
That’s about it for my Tuesday.

Today I worked at a house in Redlands California mostly priming bathroom cabinets,.. and I went to Stater Brothers
on the way home for milk, creamer and cheese,.. came home and put away my things,.. cleaned my ice chest,.. read
my emails,.. and did my daily work notes & accounting.
Here’s a movie that saw on the Hallmark channel that I liked a lot and it wasn’t a love story. I’ve seen it before, but it
was just on again last night starring Jaclyn Smith who plays a Judge that decides to take in a teenage foster child.
What stood out the most for me in this film was the type of person that Jaclyn Smith was. I really liked her ways,
attitude and just the type of woman she was in this film.
Before I saw this movie I just saw her in a movie where she played a woman that was not the most likable person,..
so it was nice to see her show her really good side in the next movie I saw with her. The not so likable was the one
where she played the nose doctor’s Mother...
I grew up with Charlies Angels,.. in the Jaclyn Smith, Kate Jackson, Farrah Faucet years. It was one of my shows
along with Fantasy Island and especially the Love Boat.
That’s about it for my Wednesday.
