Hey Helena, I’m only halfway caught up on the PM’s but thought I’d pop by  my comment page and touch base. See why I couldn’t keep up with Facebook? :D Hey Helena, have you ever seen the movie “Julie and Julia” with Meryl Streep? Maybe that’s what you should do: well, not necessarily blog about it, but at least give yourself goals like trying a new recipe twice a month for starters, that’s not too much to ask, is it? And then you  can report to us about your results! Just let me know every other week and I’ll keep wee one busy: I’ll give her homework! Lol OMG, don’t tell me you haven’t listened to the MB CD’s yet!? I know OAWLY would be a good one for dancing! I’d borrowed a compilation crooners CD from the library a few weeks back and there were a few songs from  Engelbert on there: I hadn’t heard him in years. I’m partial to Nat King Cole and Tony Bennett myself. Oh I love the Bee Gees! You should talk to Robin R about them: she and her sister were co presidents of a fan club for the blind and they both went to the “live by request” taping. My son and I had cleared the driveway on Friday but it snowed again last night so might have to shovel again today but at least it’s a mild weekend! Hope you’re having a nice one! Take care sweetie. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

Hi Helena,

Just quickly - in PM - it is page 19 Iam referring too !!!!

Sylvia.

Hi Helena,

Was over in Facebook - you do not appear to have been over there tonight - naughty, naughty !!!  It is nearly 11.40 p.m. here so I am hitting the sack....managed to get into page you suggested - think I'll join.   Sylvia.

Thanks Helena. I'm excited, scared, nervous--all of it. I know I'll have fun. I'll explain all these feelings sometime. May I have your email address? Mine is:

Hi Helena, how’s the birthday weekend going? I know with a little luck, you should be seeing your little brother today. Hope you’ve had a nice time with your friend Mirna on Friday. I know you were busy but glad you got to see our messages on your birthday. Helena, it’s so fun to see you enjoy life and going out with your mom. Hope you have fun at the St-Patty’s day dance! I’m seeing both my daughters this weekend. My eldest came yesterday for a little birthday dinner for her on the 22^nd and my youngest is coming today just to hang out so that’ll be nice. Good luck on your appointments tomorrow girl. I’ll respond to your PM as soon as I can but just wanted to touch base. Take care sweetie and talk to you soon. Big hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

Hi Helena,

Missing you but I hope you are having a great birthday weekend and doing everything you wanted to ...... I just really wanted to say that if I miss you tonight, if you come back on, that I hope everything goes okay tomorrow !!

Speak to you soon and you take care my wee "nutty" Brooklyn friend - see you later alligator !!

Sylvia.  Your wee Scottish friend.

Hi helena. How was your birthday? I know one of my classmate's birthda's the same as yours. She unfortunately passed away 6/6/06.

Hope you're well. I'm doing good. :D

Hi Helena,

Thanks for all your little songs - that was brilliant - I wondered what you had forgotten about in your other two messages - initially, tried to make sense of it - somewhere after three yellow submarines, I gave up !!!  lol.  Wish I could think of a good reponse, but I can't - except - see you later alligator in a while crocodile and don't you dare step on my blue suede shoes or mamma mia it will just be memories like the corners of my mind, misty water colour memories of the way we were ...............

Sylvia.   Your wee Scottish friend.

Hi Helena,

Just to let you know Jennifer has put pictures of items for sale/auction in the Gallery under "all photos".

Sylvia.   Your wee Scottish friend.

Hi Helena,

I gave up trying to think of a response to your last message - couldn't think of any songs with Michael Bolton's Web Page in nor Facebook - you set me a right connundrum !! :))

Hi Helena,

Just a wee quick note - when I went in there to clear my e-mails I had one from e-bay and I won the bid on the key ring and fridge magnet - WOW - I'm delighted ....so I have put my payment in and it will be on its road to me soon - in total it has cost me £2.45 that includes £1.20 postage - great or what !!!!  :)

Sylvia.   Your wee Scottish FRIEND.

Hi Helena,

I'm heading for my bed - it is nearly 12.30  here now - told Janniche at 11.45 I was going to my bed and I'm still here - was in 2011 Concert thread and Eileen has started reporting - sent in a message that she had arrived and has now started phoning Shannon who has let us know he has just come on stage and she heard the first song - as I say I am away to my bed especially when I now know you are 5 hours behind not 4 - it is only 7.30 with you - speak to you tomorrow - sweet dreams when your head hits the pillow !!!  :))

Sylvia.   Your wee Scottish friend.

Hi Helena, sorry I haven't been much in touch. I've been backed up in messages since my boys were off school last week. I have 2 PM's of yours, I'm sorry. Girl, TRÈS cool you're getting "The hunger"!!  BTW, the "Back in black" album comes highly recommended by Michael himself! lol OMG, if you like  that my dear, you should definitely get "Everybody's crazy" by Michael! Sweetie, I hate to do this because sometimes I think you'll just give up on us and I don't want that, lol but Helena, my friend, you have to listen to that album! I found a review of it once that described it as "criminally ignored"! OMG, listen to these 2 videos: first one is “Save our love”, which is my favorite, musically on the album:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqLBcjWmDO0

And this is the title song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy2XMYh99js&feature=related

I looooove this song! Now, remember this was 1985. I just love what he says in the beginning of the video and I think this should be put on a T-shirt! Lol Oh see what you did now? Get me to talk about Michael and things bubble up to the surface… ;D BTW, when I read your signature of “miss Magoo” on the tour thread, I was itching to add:”miss Magoo with a turned-up nose”! lol How’s your neck, btw? On its way to get better, I hope. Anyway, sweetie pie, I haven’t forgotten about you and miss you girl and I’ll respond as soon as I can. Take care my friend. Big hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

Hi Helena,

Working through my e-mails to the threads and have gone into "Orrin Bolton and Friends" where you left a comment and mentioned about Marilyn - Catherine Bradley has come in with the most peculiar comment but I think it is referring to yours - I was going to answer her but I thought I've caused enough trouble I'll let you start now and, of course too, where there is the slightest hint of trouble in has come Sharon too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   LOL

Sylvia.   Your wee Scottish friend.

Hi Helena,

Just to say Gail has come in on the discussion about Orrin - so when you get the chance go in and read !!

Also can I say to you I am very sorry indeed but I forgot it was tonight for your dance - I was thinking it was next weekend after St. Patrick's Day - the 19th not the 12th - och well, one of these days I'll get something right !!!  If you come in here before you go - have a super time - and if you are in here and it's all over, like Sunday, hope you a great time last night !   Told you I like to hedge my bets !!!

Sylvia.   Your wee Scottish friend.

HI!  helena I have been flying so high since I saw Michael on Saturday! He was amazing!! And its a concert i will never ever forget!!!When he saw me with the Bolton Babe shirt He looked into my eyes and gave me a huge smile and the next thing i knew was him taking my hand and holding it and singing to me!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!  My pictures are on my page on here this web site! Talk to you soon!!! Miss talking to you!!

Hi Helena,

Just a wee reminder that it is Ivana's birthday today !!!!  :)

Speak to you later !

Sylvia.   Your wee Scottish friend.

Helena,

Hi and just so you know I am a " Jersey Girl" but not like those girls/women on TV! I do hate those shows like Jersey Shore and Jersey Housewives.  They make us look stupid, bitchy, and fake.  Most of Jersey is nothing like them.

Joy :)

Hi Helena, if you don’t have it already, here’s the “Live with Regis & Kelly” in-box link:

http://www.dadt.com/live/special/askregiskelly/index.html

Hope it happens and you can go! Takecare sweetie. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

Ciao Helena,

Those links were FANTASTIC, absolutely fantastic - darn diagnostic problem - couldn't view them - when I checked further on problem - it came up "not compatible" !!  BUT I do agree with you - Dean Martin was great and we used to have a programme of his on tele.  and mum and I watched faithfully ! :)

Sylvia.     Il tuo amico wee Scottish.   

Ciao Helena,

Let you know all is quiet on the Western Front, so quiet I think they have all gone to sleep and, have a guess what, I am following suit ....I suddenly, about a half hour ago, started yawning and yawning, think I must have had too much fresh air today - so I'll speak to you tomorrow, maybe catch you on Facebook tomorrow night - we haven't been on there together for ages.....need to start carrying on again - it is too too too quiet !!!!!!!  LOL LOL LOL   Who me - a trouble maker - never - I just want to liven things up that is all !!!!! LOL LOL LOL.

Speak to you tomorrow !! :)

Sylvia.   Your wee Scottish friend. 

Hi Helena,

My hubby always wanted to move to FL, but now he wants Delaware.  It is midway between where my and his relatives are living.  It is cheap to live there compared to most states around here.  Property tax-we will be paying about $800 for the whole year compared to $5,000 a year in NJ.  There is NO sales tax in DE.  We just have to look around and see what is there and where we'd like it.  Will probably do this in about 2-3 years.  I will miss NJ, but it's very hard to afford to live in NJ any more. 

Talk to you soon!

Joy

Ciao Helena,

Hope all is okay with you - you have me a little worried - no word all weekend !!!!

If you are not on at lunch time I'm going to phone you tonight my little Brooklyn friend !!! :)

Sylvia  Il tuo amico wee Scottish

Ciao Helena,

Message I have sent you was over 10000 characters so I couldn't sign my name because it wouldn't send - had to take it back till it would accept - can I talk, or can I talk !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  LOL LOL LOL.

Sylvia.  La tua amica wee Scottish.

Hi Helena,

Trying to alert you-Elton John is on SNL tonight!!  Starts 11:30pm on Channel4.

I know it's short notice, hope you already know and can see it.

Joy xxx

Hi Helena, I don’t know when you’ll read this message, but just wanted to tell you I thought of you the other day: I was listening to this 80’s compilation CD I made and thought of you when I heard this song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ4-ocpNQxE

It’s one I didn’t have on my” Greatest Hits” CD and never did buy the record, although I have the first 2. Hope it brings back great memories for you… :D Take care sweetie pie and hope for you this glasses mess is settled soon. Big hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

Hi Helena, I don’t know if you’ve seen this already, but one of my E-mail buddies  sent me this video I thought you might enjoy. It’s apparently entitled: Italian response to River Dance! :

http://dalesdesigns.net/hand-dancing.htm

I’ve told her I don’t see them but she keeps sending so I keep passing them along. Take care sweetie and hope you feel better soon. Big hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

Ciao Helena,

Whenever okay .....but I have checked my page again and it is still the same - could you go into and see if you get up facility to leave me a message, not a Comment Wall message but a PM - because to me that has disappeared and I still can't access my messages !! :)

As I say, anytime, but if you wouldn't mind looking at !! Thanks !! :)

Sylvia.  La tua amica wee Scottish.

Helena,

Wow, so happy when I saw your message.  Yes!! It's perfect on a Sunday, as I am off on Mondays.  I can get to Penn Station NYC very easy, after that I don't know how to get there.  Do you have to go to Penn?  I will see if anyone else wants to meet there and then we can all go together, will be safer and I won't get lost!

We need to plan ASAP and get tickets soon as they go on the venue to get good seats.  I was in front row at Newark in Nov. 2010 and I am spoiled now!  This will be even better with a few of us going.  I will let Eileen Parr know today.

Woo-woo.........can't wait!

Joy

HI HELENA!  ARE YOU PLANNING TO GO SEE MICHAEL ON JUNE 19 IN NYC ?  I HOPE TO GO  I WILL TRY MY BEST  WILL LET YOU KNOW

GLORIA

Hi Helena,

Other than Michael's part of the CD, I'm not at all excited about it. I've only heard of Rascal Flatts. I think it's awesome he's opening doors for these artists that are singing duets with him but it won't be no more than Lady Gaga. If she didn't get far with him. it will be no different with these other folks. Americans just don't appreciate Michael like we fans do&those over seas to tell you the truth.

I hear Michael's going to be in new York. How far is that place where he's gonna be from penn Station? I've been on the long Island rail roader&the amtrk trains to&from nNew York. I saw Michael in Westbury, I do believe is what it's called; the South Fork theater, I think. I took Amtrak, took a cab to a friend's, had lunch with them, took cab back to the train station&got the long island rail roader to Westbury. Then, took a cab to the hotel, to&from the concert hall&all that. This place 6/18 may be out in the subbarian areas that one on public transportation can't get to. I don't know.

Hope you can go. I know that's what you wanted was for Michael to come to your area. Also, I think you said the subways don't run well on Sundays? Really? I can't imagine that but what do I know about New York/ right? :))))) Hope it all works out.

Robin the boltonnut from L. A. CA

 Hi Helena OMG i would love to go but don't know yet that is abusy week for me.WEhave  graduation on that monday .But know i am going to try              

Hi Helena,

Hope I'm not repeating but I would have never thought the subway being terrible on Sunday. Is it because of low traffic? That I can't imagine. I've been in their cabs&the Long Island Rail roader&loved it. Where exactly is the Beacon Theater in new York? How far is it from the Subway? How far is it from your house? I take it you don't drive. Neither do I. LOL Nah! They're not ready for me on the road. I know in new Jersey, it's easy to travel if one doesn't drive. Love their New jersey Tran. I'm sorry you're unable to go to the concert. I know. I can't make it to the concert in Rancho Mirage Saturday. I could get to Palm Springs but it's afterwards. grrrrrrr

Robin

I understand only too well about inaccessible transportation. I want to thank you for the happy easter&you too. I'm not doing anything special.

Hope you&your mom can go to Italy. I really do.

Robin

Hey you, I haven't heard from you in a while, is everything okay? I hope you've had a nice weekend and a nice Easter sweetie and were able to have a family get-together. We've had a nice family meal on Saturday with my eldest, her boyfriend and my mother-in-law and I at least talked to my youngest daughter. On the MB side of things, have you heard about the "Lonely Island" CD? I'd like to have your 2 cents on that. Respond when you can sweetie, even if just to give me a sign of life: I don't like being without news from you! Take care Helena. èBig hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada
