Hiya Helena, good to hear from you sweetie! I’ve had a so-so day myself, but tonight, my husband jolted me off  the computer… Surprise: “Michael Bolton at the RAH” was on TV! Plus, it will play again twice on the weekend! I was so happy, I had to do a little dance! lol I’ve told all my Canadian friends on the forum too! :D We’ve had a long weekend last weekend: it was Patriots day eh, also known as Victoria day and Dollard day, take your pick! :D Well, I’m really glad for you that your long week is over and you have an extra day to unwind my friend. Hope you and your mom are doing well, write when you can and have a great weekend sweetie. Thanks for keeping in touch! Big hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

Ciao Helena,

Hope you get this wee message - in case at some point you are looking for me - I can't access my e-mails for I am being told that the system is getting up-dated ...I go into the forum and some pages I am getting told don't exist - I also cannot see where anyone has been in today and up-dated anything - which I don't believe....I have been over in Facebook and stuff there is all mixed up too - saw I had a message from a guy and was reading it and went onto his page to see where he came from and I ended back at the beginning on MB's - I don't know what is going on  but there is something weird !!  So I am just going to close down for the night and see what tomorrow brings and hope to God that you get this message and not Nelson and yeh he threw a coin in a well and wished I would get in touch with him and it was his last coin - now is that Mr Smooth or is that Mr. Smooth - he is a bloody hunk and I wish I was thirty years younger - wait till I tell him I am old enough to be his mother  !! LOL.

Sylvia.  La tua amica wee Scottish

Helena, girlfriend! Click here :

I just got this message from Delilah (radio show) and you can win a special package including Barry Manilow’s “15 minutes” vinyl album, full CD and autographed booklet, but you have to enter before June 19! What have you got to lose, right? I don’t even know if you listen to Delilah, but thought I should let you know. Incidentally, if you have any other fanilows you can pass this on to, the mp3 album is only $3.99, but only today! Man, I can’t wait until Delilah promotes Michael as she always does! Take care sweetie and have a nice lunch! :D Big hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

Your Russian Friend, Anna

Hi Helena, I do know about the 2 dates in Canada sweetie. The closest one is Rama Ontario, which is 8 hours away and Thunder Bay is even farther. Unfortunately, I’m not the one driving! Lol You see Helena,  I can only afford seeing Michael if he comes to Montreal because we can’t afford the lodging. In March of last year, Michael came to Quebec City, which is about 3 hours away but I couldn’t go. Keep your fingers crossed that he’ll add more Canadian dates! :D Thanks for thinking of me Helena, you’re a doll! Take care and write when you can. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada  xxx

hi ya!!!!!!!!!

Hiya Helena, I just wanted to say a quick hi at lunch but looks like I've missed you so saying a quick hi whenever you check E-mail. I thought of you this morning because I heard this on the radio:

Have a great rest of the week girl, take care. Hugs, sincerely, your nutty friend Sylvie xxx

Hey Helena, I was just watching TV and heard this song I thought you might like. I couldn’t find the TV performance, but did find the song and you’ll find out where I heard it too… ;D Enjoy Helena and have a great weekend sweetie.

Big hugs, sincerely, your nutty friend Sylvie xxx

Hi Helena, so good to hear from you girlfriend! I’ve been pretty busy myself in the past couple of weeks but more in the next message. I’m really glad to know your mom’s surgery went well and I hope she sees an improvement soon. I’ve been itching  to post another MB song you might not have heard on your page… ;D This song is from the movie “Only you” and it’s called “Once in a lifetime”, it’s just gorgeous:

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

Hope you enjoy it! You seem to be fairly busy on FB lately and don’t post here much. Hope everything’s going well at work too. Write when you can sweetie but I appreciate you touching base. Take care my friend. Big hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada xxx

Hey Helena, okay so you’ve heard that one, let’s see if you’ve heard this one:

;D Just wanted to surprise you there… :D I’ve had a great weekend, thanks. I went out Friday night and spent the day with my opera buddy yesterday, life is good! Take care Helena and talk to you soon. Hugs, sincerely, your nutty friend Sylvie from Canada

Ciao Helena, and have a guess what - something wrong with my computer for I never seem to go off-line...close it down with "shutting down all programs" but I can go in next morning as I have just done this afternoon and I on line for MB..not FB or Twitter but always MB...could count on my hands the number of times I am not..going to ask John because believe that is how I keep exceeding my limit on broadband....yesterday afternoon I had answered a post Anna had put in and then went out and yet you saw me as being on-line and I don't believe I was at that time...will get it worked out !! lol. 

Hope you are okay and as for me feeling a lot better .....still at night tired and it takes over and during night and in morning feel my head is going to fall off but once I am up and about feeling better although it has got into my chest a little now and you would think I smoke 20 a day by the cough I have got....LOL.

Glad you like picture of Orrin..found that one and thought it was good so put on

I am giving up.....I had written another little message to you because I hadn't finished first one before it was accepted and shot down page but last page changed to an enlarged photo of your picture above and then when I tried to get message back it disappeared - halloween gremlins are out already - take care and be careful !!!!!! LMAO    Something is going on......LOL.   What I was going to say was about the picture of Orrin is that I believe that is a recent one of him and I certainly like it....that was supposed to be at end of my down below message !! LOL.

Speak to you later alligator, in a while crocodile, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!! LOL.

Hi Helena,

Thank for your answer in the forum about my question. I know in this forum the members have good information. :-)) Now I am more quiet.

We are in contact. Marta Moreno- Sevilla

Have just seen about all the snow throughout the East.....Robin MD said last night about her lot in Maryland and then saw news report this morning about NJ, CT and New York.....talking about 10 inches - wow !!    You stay safe my wee "nutty" friend and keep warm too......and I didn't blow it across the pond - honest !!!!!! LOL.

Capt Sylvia Sparrow.  Your wee Scottish friendly pirate (probably for the last time until next year !!! lol)

Hi Helena, sorry I have been out of touch but I have been off-line for a week and I am having a tough time swimming laps in this sea of messages! :D Well, while you wait for a response from me, I will give you something to help you wait. Someone posted this on another thread so I will share, enjoy!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j54C4Lgbyxo

Well plunging back and hoping to see dry land soon... Take care sweetie and thanks for the news about your mom, give her my best. Big hugs, sincerely, your pruney friend Sylvie xxx

P.S.: I hope the snow did not hit you too hard girl!

Hi Helena, thank you very much for your message sweetie, I’ve sent you a PM. It’s been a good while since we’ve exchanged longer messages girl, I’m a little late in news. Is this the pain your mom had been having for so long? Ah, poor sweetie... My friend had shingles not once but twice and I hear it’s very painful, my heart goes out to her, give her my best, will you? Your mom must be under too much stress, I hear that’s often related: tell her to take it easy on herself. Cool for you that your office had a Xmas party, sounded like fun! Wow, karaoke, did you sing anything? :D That’s okay, you can tell me all about it when you have time sweetie, just make sure you read your PM. I wish you and your mom the best and hope she’s better soon. I have either allergies or a cold myself, which I haven’t had in eons but I’m functional so can’t complain too much. I got all my holliday cards and parcels on the way so all is well! Take care my friend, have wonderful and relaxing holidays and talk to you soon. Big warm hugs to you, sincerely, your nutty friend Sylvie  xxx

Hey Helena, backed up in messages as usual but wanted to thank you for your comment on my art work, I appreciate it. :D Hope you and your mom are doing well sweetie, hope to talk to you soon. Big hugs, sincerely, your nutty friend Sylvie

Hey Helena, did I ever show you this song?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITvsSRaeW2M

I’m multi-tasking right now and was listening to music on the computer and wondering if I’d ever shown you, hope you enjoy it! :D More news soon, take care. Big hugs, sincerely, your nutty friend Sylvie xxx

Hey Helena, okay so you’ve heard that one... How about an old one with a twist?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWg7RmFcovM&feature=related

There are a bunch of songs you haven’t heard yet, but they’re not on YouTube... :D Anyway, hope you enjoy it and hope you’re feeling better sweetie. Remember, you have to be well for your big weekend so take it easy... :D Have a great week Helena and enjoy your lunch! Big hugs, sincerely, your nutty friend Sylvie xxx

Hey Helena, how are you girl? Well, I hope. My E-mail notices from the forum are getting to be selective again so I had to do the rounds on current threads for updates, but I 've noticed that you haven't posted an update on your concerts next weekend and you were supposed to get an update on Monday. Just checking up on you sweetie. I had a fun day yesterday thrift shop hopping but today is back to business calling for technicians for updates on the computer: never a dull moment! :D Take care Helena  and hope for you that no news is good news. Big hugs, sincerely, your nutty friend Sylvie xxx

Ciao Helena

hai visto Loredana Bertè con Gigi d'Alessio al festival di Sanremo?  a me la canzone piace moltissimo, speriamo sia ripescata e che vinca!

baci

Silvy

Hey Helena, I thought, for some strange reason that you might like to hear this today:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCDB7N1nFzk

and here’s a special present:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvmfu2bWvqM

You’ll understand why I’ve sent you this one today! ;D Take care sweetie pie, talk soon. Big hugs, sincerely, your nutty friend Sylvie xxx

Hiya Helena, just touching base sweetie, since we haven't heard any sign of life from you in at least a week. I almost left you a message yesterday, saying you had all the time in the world to respond, since I've heard Facebook was closed yesterday! lol In any case, glad you enjoyed the videos sweetie, I hope all is well and have a great lunch! Take care. Big hugs, sincerely, your nutty friend Sylvie

Hi Helena, sweetie pie, how the heck are you? I was going to write to you today! I’ve almost caught up to my wall comments and doing well on E-mails but my PM’s, not so much. I got side-tracked yesterday because I found a blog I thought I had deleted, (it’s at the bottom of my profile page) so I’m catching up today. So good to hear from you! :D Good to hear you’ve had a nice Easter and your mom had a good birthday, I hope she’s doing well. Oh I know you’re counting the days to Barry: I checked the thread last week to check how many days you had left! :D Girlfriend, no wonder you’ve had stomach issues: you’re stressed out! You should pop over to the tour thread by the end of the week: Dianna already has one review but should have at least one more since she’s seeing Michael at the Sydney opera house twice. I’ve been lucky with allergies myself, but I feel for you girl: you need a break somewhere, poor kid! Oh I think you’d have to be in pretty bad shape not to go see Barry... :D No, Sylvia hadn’t told me about your Ipod. So how do you like joining the 21^st century with your Ipod? I’m not there yet! Lol I thought you were still busy at work and that’s why you weren’t posting. I miss you around here girl... :D I’ll update you more in my PM girl, but be sure to check my blog and tell me what you think. It was great hearing from you Helena, take care girlfriend. Big warm hugs to you, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada xxx

Hi Helena, I’ve been meaning to send you this song for a long time and it’s just been uploaded on YouTube! It’s called: “When there are no words” and it was off the U.K. version of “All that matters” that was a gorgeous soulful album produced by Baby Face in '97:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iey_3JvCU8A

It’s a gorgeous song too, enjoy! You know, while I’m at it, here’s another one that’s called “One more time” off the 1989 movie “Sing” soundtrack:

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

Have a great weekend girlfriend and if you read this at lunch, have a good one! :D Big hugs, sincerely, your nutty friend Sylvie :D

Hi Helena, I don’t know if the news or should i say the rumor has made it to FB yet, but Camron, Michael’s backup posted that Michael’s next album will be a Motown album! So we’re starting to buzz about it and Sylvia said she’d love for Michael to cover this song, which I found by Boy George and quite enjoyed so thought I’d share:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MLaBYZ9Gpk

Have a great day sweetie, miss you! Take care Helena. Hugs, sincerely, your nutty friend Sylvie :D

I was at Michael's charity event tonite in Hartford. What a great show! What a talent and what a heart. Great cause and great show. I am so proud of our New Haven boy!

OMG Helena, so good to hear from you girlfriend! I want to respond in length and properly to your PM, but just wanted to thank you for writing now and your thoughts for me on my birthday. God bless you girl and all your family. Glad Fulvio is doing better and hope your mom is well too. I got a huge disappointment with the news of the postponement of MB's book today, but your name in my in-box put a big smile on my face, thank you Helena! Take good care of yourself sweetams, thank you so much for writing  and hope to respond  soon. Big warm bear hugs to you, sincerely, your still nutty friend Sylvie <3 xxx

Helena, I'd like be Your friend

Marie, Your FB friend from Prague
