I asked my friend (Mr Google) what happened. I was told that Graham had other interests, besides acting, that he wanted to pursue. He had talked to the producers (???) or writers (???) two years before they actually killed his character, so they had plenty of time to set it up.

That's a typical reason for main characters being killed off in series, especially when it happens either at the beginning or end of a season. Contracts not renewed by either the production company or the actor.

Dio is still sick, and I feel like I'm starting to get it...so, no gym for us today.

We did go to the library though. We needed to print out a return label for some car parts that Dio had received damaged.

As long as we were in town, we also stopped to renew our drivers licenses. I was able to get mine, but Dio will have to go back. He has until mid-July, so he has plenty of time.

Last time I watched it seems they are introducing some potential love interests for Amy.

Thanks for the feedback....I never knew!
So many celebrities have a different personality when they are not in the spotlight. I had heard that Rodney Dangerfield was next to impossible to work with!

Sorry Trila. I have no idea who Rodney Dangerfield is...:unsure: but yes I could tell you lots of stories about celebrities that you wouldn't even guess by watching them on screen ... some of them are very strange..some very hostile, some spoiled beyond belief... etc

Rodney Dangerfield was a hugely popular actor/comedian!!!!! He was in countless movies, such asC addyshack and Back To School. He was also a guest star on many TV shows.

Maybe you would recognize him if you saw him? If you're interested, try looking him up.

Your robins look different than the ones in my area. It has always been one of my favorite birds.
 
Today my wife took off from work and decided to spoil me because of my missed 88th birthday party. She drove me to George's Market and Biergarten in Calimesa <Homepage - George's Market at Dreshertown> Why? It has mostly food imported from Germany, mouthwatering to say the least. Dozens of salamis, cheeses, beers, Bratheringe, Marzipan, and you name it. It feels liker being in Germany. We bought enough delicatessen to last us for a while. BTW, I left Germany in my early 20ties, lived in Australia, the East Coast, Canada, and since the late 1960ties in Southern California.

I know George’s market. They have great food. I haven’t been there in over forty years. I am surprised they are still there. I lived in Calimesa when I was young. There used to be a Julius’s Deli in Redlands. They were also really good.

Another strategy: Instead of escalating the war, why not befriend them?

p.s. My advice as a former child who lived not far from a neighbor who was so, so, so easy to provoke: Don't be that neighbor.

Thanks for your thoughts.

That's the reason I'm in this mess, because I was that kid too, and I didn't want to be that neighbor. When I first moved here, I smiled and waved at everyone. I brought them fruit from the farmer's market and pies from the bakery. I was the "nice" one. I let a lot of stuff go. Things just got worse and worse over the years. Now the entitlement is crazy.

I had a neighbor who also did everything you suggested. She moved out years ago with a nasty thing to say about each of the neighbors.

For some people, being nice only allows them to be more manipulative and try to take advantage more. I wish I could still be the "nice" neighbor, but at this point, my safety and peace of mind are at stake.

Looking back at the things I did as a kid to my neighbors, I live with feeling bad for how much anguish I caused them. I didn't realize it. I remember riding my bicycle on my neighbor's garage floor because it had a smooth finish, dragging oil on the floor all over his garage in ugly loops from my bicycle tires that he could never get out. He told me he'd call the police. He was livid. If someone had told me how much pain and stress I probably caused that guy, I might have been a better human being.
 
About 10 a.m. I went to New York with my middle grandson so he could book his pre Hajj trip. I asked more questions than he did about what can be expected. He asked me to go with him because he knew I would do that. I felt more comfortable with him taking the trip after hearing the details. Also, he bonded with the young man who works at the travel agency. He's been before , is going agai and offered to show my grandson "the ropes" and the area. After we left there, we went to transact more business for him. On the way home, I asked him to stop at KFC so I could get a large coleslaw.

After we got back here, I fixed us some "Linner"...I was very hungry by then. After that we had to conduct more business online. Due to the sensitive nature of his business, I installed a VPN on my new computer before we got started. I got him set up to do what he had to do, then washed and baked chicken that I had thawed out overnight.

I was so tired that I fell asleep while my grandson was here and he realized at that point, it was time for him to leave. I had a long day...it was about 8:30 p.m., I had been up since 3 a.m. and did not take a nap during the day.

I'm glad I went with him though. We rode the Henry Hudson parkway which is adjacent to the Hudson river. I love seeing large bodies of water. Between that scenery and the interesting looking buildings...it provided a nice change of pace from my normal days.

Well, I had five older sisters and when I was about seven I tied tampons to my neighbor's forsythia. I knew they must be good for something. I guess that's fairly harmless but they were extremely nice older people so I wish I hadn't been so vulgar.
 
The weather surprised me today. But it turned out to be a pretty nice day regardless of the weather.

It was day 4 of my online seminar. I was having trouble getting the video to play. I had purchased the seminar because I've watched previous seminars more times than I can count, so I knew the cost was worth it. But the paid version had more stuff, so it's more clunky than the free version that you can only watch that day. I registered for the free version, and it played fine. I sent an email to the company to fix their paid version.

The last day of the month, I usually borrow the remaining credits on my online library accounts since they reset at the end of the month. Had a fun time doing that today.
