A Sad day for America First of all, if any of you want to see me on your google reader, just type in http://cosmicrayola.livejournal.com into you subscriptions. This will give you the bare bones entry but then you can click on my link and read the whole entry in diaryland. It was the easiest way my addlebrain could come up with. I know Blue Opal came up with a way, but I can't follow directions at the moment so this is my quick fix.
I was watching a show yesterday and I can�t be bothered to look up to see which one it was, but it made me feel bad all over again. The were talking about Doris Day and the fact that she at 90 years old, she is pretty much a recluse now. Not that she doesn�t come out of the house, just that she stays out of the camera�s eye. I respect that. But anyway, they mentioned that she more or less left the Hollywood scene after the death of Rock Hudson in 1985. That�s what made me sad. They showed a picture of Rock Hudson just months before his death. I remember that day well. I was only 32. I had been in love with him since 1971 when McMillan and Wife first aired.  I was 18. I loved Rock Hudson but I wanted to BE Susan St. James. I loved him, but I adored her. When the news came out that He was gay my first reaction was shock. I am sure many people had the same reaction. Here was a gorgeous man that seemed to have affair after affair with the most beautiful women alive. My next thought was, �OMG! That poor guy!! It must have been hell for him all those years. Imagine, if you will, not only having to pretend to be someone you aren�t on camera, but also 24/7 off camera? How miserable it must have been for him not to live the life he wanted instead of the life dictated by society and his adoring fans. Yes, of course, he didn�t have to be an actor, but it was his dream. I did feel bad when his estate was sued by his long time companion Marc Christian for failing to disclose he had AIDS. I don�t believe he didn�t know. I didn�t think so then and I don�t now. And I don�t care what the news said. And that�s all I have to say about that! Except that I still remember him with good memories.
It is a sad day in the history of America. 
Budweiser has been Sold
I don�t even like Bud, but they are right up there with baseball and Mom�s apple pie when I think of the good old USA. I feel sad.
Guess what I bought! I now own my very own 
DVD Player! Yay!!This is not so much a luxury item for me. I am supposed to keep my legs elevated some of the day. This will allow me to do that and to lay on either side and still watch my DVDs I can�t do that now. I can only watch tv on the loveseat which isn�t comfortable after a little while. But this, I can just pick up and move while lying in bed. In the unfortunate event that either Terry or I have to be in the hospital it can go with us. It was on sale at W@lm@rt and only 7� screen so it wasn�t that bad. This is a short entry day because I really needed to get the word out about Anheuser-Busch.
Later,
Cosmic
