Movie Review------12 Rounds

Hubby was off today so of course we went to our favorite theater for a matinee. Today we saw 12 Rounds with John Cena. Now, I never heard of this movie or this actor so I went on line to fine out a little bit about it. Never saw John Cena in my life and I find out he's a wrestler.. The movie was not too bad. It was filled with action and kept you on the edge of your seat. I even finished my bag of popcorn and didnt know it. The actor was not too bad and was really kind of nice looking. The story was a little unrealistic but that was ok, what story in the movies today isn't? So, if you like explosions, car chases, crazy FBI officers, runaway firetrucks, then this movie is for you. Looking forward to Fast and Furious again with Vin Diesel.

SIGHT- a very precious GIFT

I have always loved looking at the stars, the moon, the ocean water, and those big white puffy things in the sky-the clouds. I can sit for hours upon hours gazing at these things. I often wondered what life would be without sight! I hate to think of it, but with the condition I have, I dont really know how much time I have before I lose my sight. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis which has affected my eyes since I was a child. The doctors at that time did not know what I had, and declared my condition an allergy. I lived with red eyes all my life. When I entered my 20's, I lost my vision numerous times in my right eye. The doctors gave me prednisone drops and the vision returned, but each time left my cornea damaged. In my 40's the vision was worse but my glasses helped me to continue to see all the great things on the earth I loved to see. One, out of about 7 eye doctors that I had seen sent me to NY where the doc told me I had RA. From there I went to Rheumatologists and Corneal Specialists.
To make things short, my corneas are in bad shape, and I was told that eventually they can rupture. For the past 2 weeks I have had blurred vision and really fear that a rupture is going to happen. I see my specialist frequently and have received my second dose of Rituxin IV. I pray hard every nite that I dont wake up and be unable to see. I guess this is my biggest fear right now. My husband Paul is my rock. Without him I would be lost.
Everyone in the world has their own problems to deal with, but I do know that everyone takes things for granted. I have changed in many ways because I know that at any time I can be blind or something else could happen. I ask myself how will I deal with it??? God only knows. It will not be easy thats for sure. It is very vital to me that I live one day at a time and enjoy that day as much as I can and to see all I can see in that day. Life is very precious, and the older one seems to get, the more one realizes how precious it is. My first grandbaby will be here in May sometime and I just hope my vision and life hold out so I can hold that baby in my arms and watch Him or Her grow up!

Increase in ITunes among other things!

Today I found out on radio and TV that Itunes will be raising the prices of the downloads to $1.29 and old songs from 69-99cents. We owe this to the darn governor of NY, Patterson. He said he wanted to charge a higher tax, so I guess Itunes got a little annoyed and deceided to raise up themselves. I quess I will be limiting my downloads. It is totally ridiculous what is going on. First the gas, milk, soda, meats and etc and now this. I feel really sorry for the next generation! Can you imagine what the world will be like in the future. How much will eggs cost??? I went to get drops for my dry eyes and even they were over 10 dollars. The prices of everything have gone up to the point of NO RETURN!!! Since i am aging I need alot of wacky things now, like Bengay, wee pads, aspirin for my heart, dye for my hair and the list goes on and on. The prices of these things have risen terribly. How can people afford it? All my dear Obama is doing is showing off his face on TV. He has dissapointed me greatly , but that will be another blog!

Melis movie reviews

Watchman was great! the actors were great and the storyline was great. I never read a DC comic but I realy loved this movie.even the music was good. Duplicity with julia roberts and clive owen was a slow bore and you reallydid not know what was going on till the middle of the story' They sure had a love scened going and many kissykissy ' I would hve done the story much differently and included a differt ent spy drama . At the end they both end up with NOTHING!!!!! Wednesday we went to see KNOWING and my husband and I totally loved it. Cage is a good actor but the pappers put him down and gave him 1 star while duplicity go 4 stars, It was a supernational story with lots of disasters in it. the ending is the best . The writer did a great job. I loved it.

Very Busy in Maryland

Hi. I have returned. My hubby and I have been toMaryland for the weekend and spent time with my son and my daughter in law who will be delivering sometime in May. I attended her shower and had a very enjoyable time. It was held in a Tea Room and we had teas and finger sandwiches and soup and salad and it was just very nice. She got some many nice things for the baby. I am so excited as this is our first grandchild. The other great part of the weekend was that we visited Deena's dad in the rehab place where he lives for now. Mr Ed is a wonderful man and I really love him. He unfortunately had brain cancer 16 yrs ago and now it has recurred. He has lost some movements on his whole left side, but his outlook is wonderful. He goes to therapy and works his butt off and just has so much in him to go on! The weekend was just awesome and my husband and I had a great time.
