"Don't you....forget about me....don't don't don't you"
I read, with such sadness, about the loss of John Hughes. He was *the* director of my generation and it's a shame to lose someone so young. I've written just about everywhere of my love for "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" because it was filmed in my high school while I was going there. Yes, it ages me...but I've learned to accept my age (mostly because I don't look it! roflmao) Looking through his roster of movies (I'm sure Italo will have a better blog about it with more pics. I'm just the writer, ya know)I forgot 
all that he'd given us.
Yes, there was "Breakfast Club"..which seems to be on cable all the time and I always stop to watch. I love the ending with Molly and Judd Nelson. Yeah, I went to elementary school with her...Colfax Elementary in North Hollywood--they bussed us valley kids to Hollywood...lol. It's where Cuba Gooding, Jr. protected me from the love of my life at that time. Where people whispered about Molly and Kim Fields because they only showed up at school once every three months. Where I had my first "real" boyfriend...such as it was.
Ah, but I digress..anyway... there was also..."Only the Lonely". John Candy (another great and powerful loss)...I don't feel that it got the recognition it deserved cuz it was my favorite John Candy movie...Don't just watch the interation between him and his mother, but when he first starts to ask out Alley Sheedy...giving her a list of excuses to pick from...sigh....yeah, I can relate.
So, tonight, pick your favorite John Hughes movie...maybe for you it's "16 Candles"...and Long Duck Dong (roflmao) but just smile for John..I'm sure he's smiling down on us....
Rules of calling Customer Service!
- 1. Before you call any 800 number--Please put your children, animals & significant others in a closet and lock the door til you're done. We really don't appreciate hearing your children screaming in our ears. We don't, in any way, find their antics nearly as priceless as you do.
- 2. Read your bill before you start bitching and whining about it. Read the front and back of all pages. Read it every single month. No company ever just puts charges on your bill just for thrills or to see how long it will take you to notice. All price increases need to be okayed by the FCC or PUC before they take effect and you are given at least 30 days notice.
- 3. It doesn't matter how long you've gone to school or whether you are a doctor,lawyer or Indian chief, I still know more about your service than you do. I know more about the technology than you do and I've got all day to listen to you as you lose your braincells. (And just so you know, whenver it gets very quiet, you are on mute as we *laaaaauuugghh*, tell our neighbors how stupid you are and wait for you to just....shut up)
- 4. Just about anything a "supervisor" can do, we can do...we just don't want to give it to you. Why should we? Sometimes it just feels better to piss you off.
- 5. Anyone over 60 must take a test before they are allowed to get any sort of electronics. If you can't operate it, you can't have it.
- 6. Please stop asking us how we are ..we really don't care how you are and you make us politely ask you after you ask us. Just start talking and whining about the problem so that we don't have to "mute" you (see previous posts about what happens when you are muted)
- 7. Do *not* eat or chew gum while talking to us. I can understand if you were catching up on lunch while on hold and I'm willing to give a little leeway but you better apologize for it and stop. Do you know how many times I've wanted to tell people that I can't understand them with their mouth full? And to ask them if their mother ever told them that it was just plain rude! I don't chew gum while I'm talking to you...do you consider yourself better than me? You think you are better than *me*?
Doggie Heaven....
Rest in Peace-- my darling Scarlett...17 years together ...from the animal shelter to the end you were one of the sweetest things in my life...8/12/08
all that he'd given us.

WOW, it is sad to hear of such a talented person dying so young. He gave us wonderful movies that will always live on cable, dvd and beyond.
Actually you summed it up much better than I could have, he was so young and so talented and he made unforgettable movies from our wonderful era that we may never be getting back again. I love Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller as well, those were my two favorites
