What Is On Your Mind Right This Second?

70s and 80s era “family” movies that were nightmare fuel:
Terry Gilliam’s Brazil
Disney’s The Watcher in the Woods
Rock & Roll Musical Tommy
PG-rated Poltergeist

I want to watch Brazil again. Just watched the restaurant scene and it’s genius. The main woman says, “I saw the most wonderful idea for Christmas presents—medical gift tokens!” I wonder how long before we can give gift cards for medical care as Christmas presents? Maybe currently in the form of a CVS card to be used at their clinic?

And this line from the same woman, “Sam, you must do *something* about these terrorists!” (Actively attacking the restaurant where they continue eating despite the attack.)
To which Sam responds, “It’s my lunch hour, and besides that’s not my department.”

Tinyflame, I dont think when you share that you are feeling hopeless, it makes others feel that way. Some days I am here to lean on. It doesn't bring me down, so Im guessing it doesn't bring others down. I feel bad for YOU that you are feeling that way. I dont think your thoughts are useless either. Just reminds me of how some of us came to believe we need to smile when we have a mouth full of poo.....And we dont. I think you are safe here to express what you think and feel. Can you think of anything that brings you more hope.
 
A good friend of mine, friend of 50 years, had a massive heart attack and died almost 2 weeks ago. She has been pretty constantly on my mind ever since. Its almost as if she was expecting it. She chose this summer to travel to see her grandchildren and take them on all these adventures. She said she may never have another chance. I also know the feeling that at our age, tomorrow isn't promised. But mostly, almost feeling her presence around me. I keep looking back at her last days spent with the little ones she posted on social media, with a message about how much she loved them. We had a lot in common. She came from abuse in her family . I miss her, that there will be no more late night talks, but also feel so close. IDK. sounds weird and I cant quite explain.
