What a Difference a Life Time Makes ~ ( Notice the price of the tickets.)
It’s dark, raining and cold. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. A perfect time for memories.
When I was between the ages of five and thirteen, every year, my Grandpa, on my Mom’s side took me to see the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
No doubt it’s my imagination, but I don’t remember the Parade was ever rained out. It was always freezing cold. But clear and fairly sunny.
I don’t remember how we got to Fifth Avenue and Central Park, but once there I would sit on top of Grandpa’s shoulders. I had a fantastic view. Grandpa jiggled me up and down and kept time to the beat of the Band Music.
It was of course a free adventure.
Today it would cost $1000.00 to have that grand view.
Grandpa liked Parades. He took me to see or to march in any Parade that showed up. He was very political and was involved with many Parades. He had been in the Austrian Hungarian Navy and so I think that was why he liked Parades so much. He related to them. It was tiring but exhilarating; both at the same time.
Now whenever I hear a Marching Band — I think of him.
Especially, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Being a Witch, naturally I am turned on by coincidences. I see them everywhere.
When I became the Official Witch of Los Angeles, many reporters interviewed me.
To meet with them, I always chose ” Sarno’s Italian Bakery & Coffee Shop on Vermont in Hollywood. It was convenient location and not far from KABC TV. It became my hang-out for interviews.
Once, I had lunch at Sarno’s with Jack Prelutsky, a reporter (then) for an article he was doing about me for the Los Angeles ” Herald Examiner Daily New”. We weren’t friends. We were just Interview-or and Interview-ee. I believe I gave him a dull psychic reading, but never-the-less he did manage to write a cute article.
We had Canoles for dessert.
I knew he, like me, also wrote poetry on the side. Now he’s responsible for many several hundreds of children’s poems. Jack Prelutsky became famous.
While looking up stuff about Turkeys I found one of his poems.
THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE
Jack Prelutsky
(c)
Thanksgiving Day is here today,
the great parade is under way,
and though it’s drizzling quite a bit,
I’m sure that I’ll see all of it.
Great balloons are floating by,
cartoon creatures stories high,
Mickey Mouse and Mother Goose,
Snoopy and a mammoth moose.
Humpty Dumpty, Smokey Bear
hover in the autumn air,
through the windy skies they sway,
I hope that they don’t blow away.
Here comes Santa, shaking hands
as he waddles by the stands.
It’s so much fun, I don’t complain
when now it really starts to rain.
The bands are marching, here they come,
pipers pipe and drummers drum,
hear the tubas and the flutes,
see the clowns in silly suits.
It’s pouring now, but not on me,
I’m just as dry as I can be,
I watch and watch, but don’t get wet,
I’m watching on our TV set.
*
Obviously he like the Parade too.
I don’t know what happened to Jack personally. But this is what happened to me;
Macy got into my blood. It was the beat.
Now my Grand kids are addicted. We are currently Five Generations of Macy Shoppers and Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade watchers.
I can only blame Grandpa.
And the Austrian Hungarian Navy.
So now here we are.
Viewing the Parade was once free (to me) and if it had cost a buck it would now be 1000 times more.
I’ll watch it on TV like Jack.
I wish you all a very wonderful Thanksgiving Day; One filled with memories of family, and childhood fun. Wherever you are or whatever you plan to do ~ I hope you will be cozy and happy and content.
THANKSGIVING MYTHS VS FACTS!!!
Myth: The first Thanksgiving was in 1621 and the pilgrims celebrated it every year thereafter.
Fact: The first feast wasn’t repeated, so it wasn’t the beginning of a tradition. In fact, the colonists didn’t even call the day Thanksgiving. To them, a thanksgiving was a religious holiday in which they would go to church and thank God for a specific event, such as the winning of a battle. On such a religious day, the types of recreational activities that the pilgrims and Wampanoag Indians participated in during the 1621 harvest feast — dancing, singing secular songs, playing games — wouldn’t have been allowed. The feast was a secular celebration, so it never would have been considered a thanksgiving in the Pilgrims minds.
Myth: The original Thanksgiving feast took place on the fourth Thursday of November.
Fact: The original feast in 1621 occurred sometime between September 21 and November 11. Unlike our modern holiday, it was three days long. The event was based on English harvest festivals, which traditionally occurred around the 29th of September. President Franklin D. Roosevelt set the date for Thanksgiving to the fourth Thursday of November in 1939 (approved by Congress in 1941). Abraham Lincoln had previously designated it as the last Thursday in November, which may have correlated it with the November 21, 1621, anchoring of the Mayflower at Cape Cod.
Myth: The pilgrims wore only black and white clothing. They had buckles on their hats, garments, and shoes.
Fact: Buckles did not come into fashion until later in the seventeenth century and black and white were commonly worn only on Sunday and formal occasions. Women typically dressed in red, earthy green, brown, blue, violet, and gray, while men wore clothing in white, beige, black, earthy green, and brown.
Myth: The pilgrims brought furniture with them on the Mayflower.
Fact: The only furniture that the pilgrims brought on the Mayflower was chests and boxes. They constructed wooden furniture once they settled in Plymouth.
Myth: The Mayflower was headed for Virginia, but due to a navigational mistake it ended up in Cape Cod Massachusetts.
Fact: The Pilgrims were in fact planning to settle in Virginia, but not the modern-day state of Virginia. They were part of the Virginia Company, which had the rights to most of the eastern seaboard of the U.S. The pilgrims had intended to go to the Hudson River region in New York State, which would have been considered “Northern Virginia,” but they landed in Cape Cod instead. Treacherous seas prevented them from venturing further south.
TURKEY DAY AND YOUR WALLET!!
The cost of food for Thanksgiving won’t gobble up your bank account this year. The American Farm Bureau Federation said Thursday the average cost of a ten-person Thanksgiving dinner this year is $35.68. That’s 60 cents less than last year. The group also said the average price for a 16-pound turkey is $14.23, down eight cents from a year ago.

EVEN OPRAH’S ANNUAL “FAVORITE THINGS” WON’T INCLUDE PRICEY GIFTS!
Oprah Winfrey’s annual “Favorite Things” show (which airs November 26th) won’t include her usual pricey gifts. In light of the tight economy, the talk show host, 54, is instead giving away only affordable items. “They’re some of Oprah’s favorite things, but this time there’s a twist…they cost next to nothing!” says a statement released to Usmagazine.com by an Oprah Winfrey Show rep.
Audience members are also getting in on the act. “On Wednesday’s show, viewers reveal their creative ways to spend less over the holiday season. You’ll meet a mom who shows us how to create a one-of-a-kind treasure that comes straight from the heart,” the statement says. “Then, one family talks about their very own tradition that doesn’t cost a cent. “You’ll also hear some great ideas to make your holiday party memorable and affordable,” reads the statement. “And, Oprah unveils a special gift that won’t cost you a thing! Find out how to have the thriftiest holidays ever.” In 2007, the $799 Samsung Progressive HD Camcorder SC-HMX10C topped Winfrey’s list.
TOP 10 TIPS TO AVOID PACKING ON THE POUNDS AT THANKSGIVING!
Packing on pounds is easy to do during the holidays. So here are 10 suggestions to help you keep the weight off from nutrition and health expert Dr. James D. Krystosik:
1. Get plenty of sleep. Being tired often triggers eating pangs.
2. Drink plenty of water. If you don’t take in liquid, the body retains it, increasing body weight by 10 to 15 pounds.
3. Curb appetite by loading up on “good carbs” – high fiber veggies like beans, whole grains such as oats and brown rice and fruits.
4. Limit your intake of proteins.
5. Keep stress levels down by walking, exercising and meditation. Stress can spark the appetite.
6. Avoid “bad carbs” like high-starch potatoes, breads and desserts.
7. Vinegar reduces the body’s absorption of “bad carbs” so use a variety of vinegar with olive oil for salad dressings.
8. Stay away from foods with hydrogenated oils and the sweetener aspartame. These substances do not aid in weight loss.
9. Choose foods with “good fats” like soy beans, avocado, nuts and seeds, fish like salmon, tuna and halibut and leafy green veggies.
10. Keep in touch with a pal who has similar diet and health goals to boost your willpower during the holiday food feast.
THE 10 MOVIES YOU SHOULDN’T WATCH ONLINE:
Movies are increasingly creeping online, as video sites like YouTube and Hulu are adding feature films to their extensive libraries. At the Google-owned YouTube, there is the YouTube Screening Room, which every two weeks, adds four new films – mostly independent works – to the site.
Hulu, the joint creation of NBC Universal and News Corp., has hundreds of films available for stream, from “Basic Instinct” to “Wuthering Heights.” Of course, many people download films illegally on BitTorrent sites, but movies are nevertheless becoming more populated – legally – online. Hulu recently added 1962′s “Lawrence of Arabia,” which raises the question: Should anyone watch a nearly four-hour-long epic of sweeping grandeur on their laptop? Or, heaven forbid, their cell phone? Here are the top ten films that should never be brought down to size: (Daily Record)
1. “Lawrence of Arabia”: David Lean’s film, which won seven Oscars including best picture, was made for the big screen – particularly as projected in all of its 70 millimeter glory. Though Hulu (like YouTube) streams films in high quality, the enormity of the Arabian desert loses something when dwarfed to a 4-inch by 6-inch screen.
2. “Last of the Mohicans”: Michael Mann’s 1992 adaptation of James Fenimore Cooper’s novel pulses with the raw nature of early America so much that film critic David Thomson has written that he expects William Wordsworth to pop up at any moment. You won’t get that rugged feeling on a computer.
3. “Jaws”: Really, how scary can that shark be if he’s two inches tall?
4. “North By Northwest”: Alfred Hitchcock’s 1959 classic is just too big for your computer. It’s almost too big for a movie screen. The film, after all, includes a chase with an airplane, Bernard Herrmann’s robust score, Mount Rushmore and, well, Cary Grant in sunglasses.
5. “Star Wars”: It’s true, a hologram of Princess Leia on your computer is just about as fitting as one of Will.i.am on CNN. But do you really want to see (spoiler alert!) the Death Star explode next to your e-mail?
6. “WarGames”: There isn’t anything so cinematic about this 1983 thriller starring Matthew Broderick. But watching a movie about Cold War-era paranoia in which a computer threatens to bomb the world might cause you to panic out of distrust for all things computerized and throw your laptop out the window.
7. “Barry Lyndon”: The same computer rebellion of “WarGames” might also apply to Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey,” but the Kubrick film that deserves the absolute best presentation is his 1975 period piece. The cinematography by John Alcott – including a candlelit scene shot with NASA-developed camera lenses – is best seen projected in the dark.
8. “Raiders of the Lost Ark”: You have to worry that a story about an adverture-seeking archaeologist with a whip fetish who gets chased by boulders might seem a tad unrealistic when shrunk down from the big screen. (But feel free to be disappointed by the latest “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” on whatever platform you like.)
9. “The Third Man”: Carol Reed’s 1949 film is one of the most exquisitely shot films ever and meant for the movie theater. Also, a Web junky might take the wrong lesson from “The Third Man.” The Internet has a way of depersonalizing people, much in the way Orson Welles famously looks down at far below humans from atop a Ferris wheel in “The Third Man,” caring nothing if the “little dots” stopped moving.
10. “You’ve Got Mail”: It’s just a little too cutesy to watch this romantic comedy on your computer, don’t you think?

ARE YOU GOING TO THE MIDNIGHT PREMIERE THURSDAY OF “TWILIGHT”?
Across the country, more than 1,100 midnight Friday screenings were reported sold out. In Los Angeles, pairs of tickets were hawked for upwards of $50 on Craigslist. On Facebook, members were planning their opening-night wardrobe.
While there’s no shortage of buzz about the stars, led by the lion-maned Robert Pattinson, and no shortage of book sales for the Stephenie Meyer series on which the film’s based, there’s also no box-office precedent for a gothic vampire flick aimed at teenage girls.
“We haven’t seen a movie for this specific demographic ever,” says Jeff Bock of the tracking firm Exhibitor Relations. Projections, accordingly, vary. On the plus side for Summit Entertainment, the indie studio looking for its breakthrough blockbuster, they’re varying on the high side. Especially for a movie made for a Hollywood-modest $37 million.
A $30-40 million Friday-Sunday debut is possible. Bock wouldn’t be surprised by an opening of $30 million—or $70 million. Nash sits in the middle, calling for a $60 million-ish debut.

HEADLINE TRUTH OR TRASH! WHAT’S THE REAL STORY BEHIND THEM?
“NEWSPAPER REFUSES TO RUN OBAMA WIN STORY!”
Truth! The Terrell Tribune in Texas instead dedicated their November 5th front page headline to the local commission race. The publisher said, “We felt this story was more important.” While there were a few scattered Obama-related stories within the paper the day after Election Day, there was not a single story devoted to the presidential victory — outraging many readers.
“GM, FORD AND CHRYSLER MERGING TO FORM WORLD’S LARGEST CARMAKER!”
Trash! But they did, they could call themselves Gen-Ord-Sler.
“MAN WITH NO ARMS STEALS TV!”
Truth! You’d have to call it a no-armed burglary. In Munich, Germany, a man with no arms still managed to walk out of an electronics store with a stolen 24-inch TV after two accomplices used clamps to affix the TV to his body before helping him out of the store. The staff didn’t realize what had happened until they noticed the TV missing and reviewed security video tapes.
“POLE DANCING TO BECOME AN OLYMPIC SPORT!”
Trash! But, 26-year-old Jeannine Wikering, who came in third (think: Bronze medal) in the European pole-dancing championship in Amsterdam, did say she thinks it should be. And who are we to disagree?
“MAN STEALS COMMUNION WAFERS DURING CHURCH SERVICE!”
Truth! In Jensen Beach, Florida, police arrested 33-year-old John Samuel Ricci for allegedly stealing communion wafers during the middle of a church service! He was cornered by fellow churchgoers who held him down until the police arrived at the St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church.
“OBAMA ASKS HEIDI KLUM TO BE IN HIS CABINET!”
Trash! Now there you go getting him confused with Bill Clinton
“BATMAN IS SUING BATMAN!”
Truth! The city of Batman, Turkey, is suing Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros for royalties from The Dark Knight. Mayor Huseyin Kalkan says the producers used the city’s name without permission and of course they want a cut of that huge box office.
“CAMEL IS 10-0 PICKING FOOTBALL GAMES!”
Truth! It’s Princess the Pigskin Picking Camel of the Popcorn Park Zoo! She does indeed have a perfect 10-0 record so far this year handicapping NFL games and she correctly predicted that the Pats would fall to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl last February. Zoo manager John Bergmann holds a graham cracker in each hand marked with opposing team names. Whichever hand Princess nibbles from first is her “pick” for that week.
INITIALS REVEAL LOVE LIFE!
Your first initial is more than just a letter. It reveals the kind of lover you are and points the way to the mate most likely to make your dreams come true. The study of letters, acrophonology, is an amazingly accurate way to delve into the psyche, says psychologist Andy Cummings. “Researchers found ancient texts that support the belief that your first initial relates to specific personality traits,” she explains. “And what the ancients believed is still valid today. In particular, studies have found that acrophonology is especially relevant to passion and romance.” Look for your letter below and see what it reveals about the lover who lurks in your soul.
a. You’ll do whatever it takes to win the heart of your lover. Your soul mate to keep hidden from others.
b. There’s nothing you value more than gifts that prove your lover’s devotion. Sentimental and giving, you love papering your mate as well.
c. You’re a social animal who craves the closeness of a long-term partner. You want a mate who’s both a pal and a lover. Communication and closeness are vital.
d. You’re highly passionate and intense, and you require the same zeal from your honey. You may be too possessive at times, but your loyalty is beyond dispute.
e. Your mate should be a good listener because you love to talk. But beyond all the chatter, once you give your heart away, you’ll never stray from his side.
f. You’re a born romantic who loves to turn fantasy into real life. Notorious for showing affection to public, you need a mate who’s not shy.
g. You’re a perfectionist, but you don’t demand more of your lover than you do of yourself. He must be your intellectual equal to keep you interested.
h. Financial status is high on your list of priorities. You’re hesitant about sex during the dating phase, but you jump right in once you know the love will last.
i. Lusty and sure of your powers, you prefer an older man. You need to be worshiped by a lover who appreciates your sexually adventurous spirit.
j. It takes someone with stamina to be your lover because you’re a dynamo. Although you’re a bit of a loner, you’re idealistic about love and need it to last.
k. Shy and secretive, no one would know there’s a wildly sensual woman behind the mask. You take love seriously and have the patience to wait for the right person.
l. You must have a man in your life. You especially enjoy the wining and dining rituals of dating, and a guy with a brain is a real turn on.
m. When you fall in love, it’s head over heels. Your all-consuming passion must be met with equal ardor to keep you happy.
n. You’re unassuming on the outside, but an insatiable lover is lurking just below the surface. You need a lover patient enough to bring out your wilder side.
o. As a lover, you’re secretive about your desires, but once they’re unleashed with a trusted partner, look out. You must curb your tendency to be jealous of your mate.
p. You’re flirtatious and love a good party. You value your reputation and social standing, so a good-looking, intelligent mate is a must.
q. You require constant activity, so you crave a partner who can keep up with you sexually and otherwise. Also, you’re intrigued by people from other cultures.
r. When it comes to a lover, you’ll take an Einstein over a Schwarzenegger. But under your buttoned-down, sweet exterior, you’re a sexy gal who’s a demanding playmate.
s. Your career and finances must be in order before you’ll even consider romance. You don’t give your heart away lightly, but once you do, it’s for life.
t. You want a partner who takes the lead in the game of love. Flowers, soft music, and candlelight are guaranteed to ignite your sexual fireworks.
u. You have a generous heart and lavish love and gifts on your sweetheart. When you’re not with a partner, you’re constantly on the prowl for someone to adore.
v. Eccentric guys peak your interest. Settling down is tough for you because you value your freedom and love living on the wild side.
w. Your willful spirit makes you determined when you’re pursuing a love interest. Sometimes blinded by love, you believe nothing is too good for your sweetheart.
x. You’re adept at carrying on several relationships simultaneously. Even when you’re committed to one person, your mind never stops whirling.
y. You’re sexy, sensual and in control at all times. If your love interest won’t let you run the show, there could be a test of wills in your relationship.
z. You’re a selfless lover who attracts men with problems you think only you can solve. Sincere, passionate and dreamy, you enjoy a rich fantasy life.

DID YOU KNOW THAT THIS PAST WEEKEND’S “QUANTUM OF SOLACE” WAS THE BIGGEST “JAMES BOND” FILM OPENING IN HISTORY?
Just how over the top have the wicked schemes of Bond villains been? “Entertainment Weekly put some to the reality test, from the least plausible to the most plausible:
“From Russia With Love,” 1963, villain SPECTRE scheme: To steal a Lektor decoder and humiliate James Bond with a secret sex movie.
“Goldfinger,” 1964, villain Auric Goldfinger his scheme: To nuke Fort Knox, increasing the value of his own gold reserve.
“On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” 1969, villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld his scheme: To destroy the world economy with plague carrying nymphets, unless granted amnesty and a title.
“Thunderball,” 1965, villain Emilio Largo his scheme: To extort 100 million pounds from Britain by threatening to detonate hijacked atom bombs.
“Moonraker,” 1979, villain Hugo Drax his scheme: To destroy the human race nerve gas from his space station, then repopulate Earth with astronaut hotties.
“Die Another Day,” 2002, villain Colonel Moon his scheme: To destroy the land mines in the Korean DMZ with a space mirror for the benefit of North Korea.
“Casino Royale,” 2006, villain Le Chiffre his scheme: To depress the stock value of an aircraft company by destroying its new airliner.
FHM’s 5 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT JAMES BOND
1. Ian Flemming, who penned the original 007 novels, stole the name for his secret agent from the book “Birds of the West Indies,” which he would occasionally read during trips to his vacation home in Jamaica. The book’s author? Respected ornithologist James Bond.
2. The Bond character is also partially inspired by Dr. John Dee, a real man from the 16th century. Known as the first British secret agent, Dee advised Queen Elizabeth as England warred with Spain. He even created the 007 insignia for secret messages to the Virgin Queen: The two zeroes signified “for your eyes only,” while the seven was chosen simply because it was a cryptic number.
3. In the first 19 official Bond films, James has sex 85 times with 60 different women, 21 of whom eventually die. Among other locations, the rumpty occurs 21 times in hotel rooms, twice in a gypsy tent and 25 times in, on or under water. Bond’s satisfied conquests moan “Oh, Jaaames” 16 times.
4. Roger Moore never specifically asked for a vodka martini “shaken, not stirred” because he didn’t want to seem as if he were copying Sean Connery’s performance.
5. A clause in Pierce Brosnan’s contract specified that as long as he was playing Bond, he couldn’t wear a tuxedo in any other movie because the outfit is such a 007 trademark.

Barack Obama’s television approval ratings are through the roof. Sunday night’s “60 Minutes”, featuring a sit-down with the president-elect and wife Michelle Obama, scored a commanding 24.5 million viewers, Nielsen estimates said.
CBS said the audience was the newsmagazine’s biggest since at least the late 20th century—or January 1999. The show dominated every major demographic group, even kids 12-17.
