I read part two first and wanted to catch up. I find the Manson cult too scary for me and wouldn't watch any movie about them. It seems that your son-in-law is fascinated with bad movies.

He thrives on horror movies but hasn't convinced Nichole to watch one yet. There's still hope. LOL

I can't imagine what that next movie must be if than Manson movie is easy to overlook. I've never seen it, but you are right, it has a reputation.

You set thei chapter up more as a documentary, but the variety of the commentary fits the topic and keeps the story moving forward. You daughter must truly be I love. She seems so much superior to Jeff n many ways. You haven't mentioned for a while, or I have forgotten, is how working or just playing house husband while he keeps looking for acting jobs?

Sorry, I haven't been around much lately; life is throwing me a few curves. It looks like you are ether taking a break or maybe you are busy too with other things. I hope all is well.

Life is throwing me curves too, debi. Hubby's dementia is getting worse. Not much time to be on the site. However I just finished another chapter and will post it tomorrow or Monday. Jeff is still at freedom to pursue his love of acting, but now, he's doing cartoon drawings and getting paid for it!
Thanks so much for the six, my friend.

Hi Shari,
Sorry you are not able to write as often as you'd like.
I know you are dealing with a lot.
Jeff continues to irritate ...he seems clueless or maybe just rude. Either way, I don't like him. :-)
Hugs!

Hey, BG. Guess who's finally coming to visit--Nichole with Jeff in tow. We'll see how it goes.

Interesting visit, I don't blame Frank for hating roller
coasters, I do as well. I love animals of any kind except
snakes.
A film about Charles Manson, I also hate to see anything
about evil people.
Have a nice Sunday my friend.

HA! I love the little interplay at the chimp cage. Sometimes soooo much can be said with a little witty remark. Much revealed there. I love the discussion of fashion. Another jam packed revelation of information that stands alone really as a quick study like many of your pieces I've read on various things. Now, there's a much read the next chapter ending if I ever say one. LOL Wow. I can pop in anywhere and get instantly engaged. This is going to be a killer book. mikey

Thanks, Mikey, for tuning in and your specific comments. Seems reviews are slow for prose. LOL

Charles Manson has remained in the news forever. I recently saw that one of his followers is asking for parole. Wonder what will happen? Those women were so young. Glad you did have some points of the vacation that you enjoyed. Good comment about Jeff and the chimps. Nicole seemed to make good choices in her clothing that she wore for work. The styles seem quite suitable for her position. Now I am curious to see what that next movie was! judi

Thanks, judi. There's a lot of pictures of present and past followers on the internet. Squeaky wasn't there except for a candid shot. I think she's out now.
Nichole made the comment about Jeff last Sunday when we talked.
She knows how annoying he can be and subtly intimates that to me.

reply by judiverse on 23-Apr-2016

You're very welcome. Nicole must really love Jeff, as she's stayed with him while recognizing his shortcomings. judi

Haaaa, love the question answered with a non answer. Good question, was that a yes or a no?

Hehe love the chimp recognizing one of their own kind.

Good grief! Can you think of any movie less appropriate to view on a family night than The Manson Family and the next one is even worse? Whoa someone is sure missing a sensitivity chip there.

Great story telling as always, Shari. Can't wait to find out what the next movie was that Frank didn't forget.

Love it.

Sensitivity chip--love it. That's the poet in you.
Thanks, Gloria, for taking the time to review.

I don't think I'd want to watch anything Jeff would choose... far too squeamish. I wonder what the next DVD was, though? Guess I'll have to wait... not too long, I hope. :)

I hope to get part 2 posted Sunday. What he showed was so crass I wouldn't insult my fans by posting a film clip any. Plus I'd have to use the WARNING ribbon.

Comment from Leen1

What amazes me is the fact that Jeff seems to always voice his opinion and Nicole rather than ruffle feathers seems to go along with it. That situation would seem to evoke much underlying stress. As always I can't wait to read the next chapter.

Appreciate the insightful review, Leen. Ruffle his feathers is a no-no, I guess.

I found the story of the visit to the zoo to be a good part of the story. Each of you liking different things at the zoo. The part of the movie about the Manson family, was a hard part to read as I remember the murders and the trial that sentenced the family for the crimes. Patricia

Thanks for mentioning the zoo section. I wanted to contrast that with the horror of the Manson film.
