BRING IN THE NEW YEAR WITH THE TWILIGHT ZONE! 

It’s time for THE TWILIGHT ZONE Marathon on the SyFy channel!  December 31 through ALL NEW YEARS DAY! What’s YOUR Twilight Zone Fave?  I’d love to know!  Below are 13 of mine!   I’ve been a HUGE FAN for as long as I can remember.  (And that’s a loooooong time.)  Watching always brings back the memory of anxiously waiting in front of our black and white TV for that unmistakable tune which has beguiled us through the decades, even greeting us on our ringtones.  (Mine!) 

So naturally, I was simply pleased-as-otherworldly-punch, when I was honored to get to know the marvelous Anne Serling, daughter of the great Rod Serling, when we were both Special Guests at Comic Con.

the-twilight-zone-ROD+SERLING

Every time I re-watch an episode of The Twilight Zone, I find yet another nugget of wisdom, mirth or irony, carefully hidden just beneath the surface of the obvious.  Rod Serling was a brilliant pioneer in his field with a tremendous talent and heart.  He didn’t need to get on a pulpit or soapbox and shout out his thoughts.  With his good looks and a voice like none other, he rendered eloquent, provoking introductions, then wove fascinating stories for us to watch, letting us look within and come to our own conclusions.  

Just like any great literature, they are as relevant now, as when they first aired.  Perhaps more so, which certainly gives one pause.  “Man’s Inhumanity to Man” is often an underlying thread, but also often Humanity, as we learned from classic characters like Ebeneezer Scrooge – magical stories that make us reflect, then hopefully make our and others’ lives better through perspective, caring more, giving more and “Passing it forward” as we move through a new age dimension of a real-world “Twilight Zone”.

HERE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVES!

“MIDNIGHT SUN”  S3/Ep 10

the+midnight+sun-twilight+zone

I was always mesmerized by this and now in this day and age, it truly gives me the cold sweats!!!

Midnight Sun-twilightzone

WHOSE REALITY IS REAL?

“Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” (1963)  Season 5, Ep. 3

TWILIGHT+ZONE-WILLIAM+SHATNER-3

Is William Shatner losing his mind?  Who is to say?  I never go on an airplane without peering out the window and thinking of this episode!

I could perhaps say this is my all-time fave, but difficult as they are ALL so FAB!

JUDGING A BOOK BY ITS COVER & JUST HOW DEEP IS THAT SKIN?

“THE MASKS”

Twilight+Zone-The+Masks

“EYE OF THE BEHOLDER”

Usually, I am very good at guessing endings.  (Sometimes annoying to myself, as I love a good surprise!) I well remember watching this with bated breath the very first time I saw “Eye of the Beholder”, wondering what was under the woman’s bandages.  I love it when I’m wrong!  😀

THE+TWILIGHT+ZONE-eye+of+the+beholder 2

THE+TWILIGHT+ZONE-eye+of+the+beholder

“NUMBER 12 LOOKS JUST LIKE YOU”

At What Price Beauty?

Number 12 Looks Just Like You-TWILGHT+ZONE

NOSTALGIA 

“WALKING DISTANCE”  S1  Ep 5

Walking+Distance-twilight+zone-3

Walking+Distance-twilight+zone

“Don’t let a moment go by, without enjoying it.”

Walking+Distance-twilight+zone-2

“A STOP AT WILLOUGHBY”

The want of a kinder, gentler place.

willoughby-conductor-4

Willoughby+st-twilight+zone-1

ULTIMATE IRONIES

“TO SERVE MAN”  

Just Desserts?  Are we but fools to get what we want?

twilight+zone -to+serve+man

“TIME ENOUGH AT LAST”

Finally getting what you want, but you can’t use it.

time+enough+at+last-twilight+zone

“THE MONSTERS ARE DUE ON MAPLE STREET”

A far from ‘gentler’ place!  Human nature?  On which side do we fall?

the+monstors +on+maple+street-twilight+zone

GHOSTLY DIMENSIONS 

“LONG DISTANCE CALL”  S2  Ep22

Long+Distance+call-twilight+zone

“NIGHT CALL”

This one truly gives me heebie jeebie chills every time I see it.  Why?  Yes, it’s a SCARY story.  But in my case, it is very personal……………  Yes, I had a weird experience about thirty years ago.  I think I’ll save that story for another blog!  Stay tuned!

NightCall-twilightzone

“THE HUNT”

Huge favorite of mine.  I’m not a fan of hunting by any means… 

THE+HUNT-twilight+zone

But I AM a fan of good goosebumps and spending Eternity with your Best Friend!

Natural Cold Flu Easy Remedies

Natural Cold Flu Easy Remedies have worked for me through the years!  Also helpful for smog.  Colds and Flu can be seasonal, but can really hit anytime.   Flu Near You is a cool site where you can see immediately where flu is lurking in your own zip code!

IF IT’S ALREADY DONE-BEGUN…KNOCK IT DOWN!

 It’ always my belief that prevention is the best medicine and the more natural, holistic and easy, in our busy lives, the better!

Natural Cold Flu Easy Remedies

MY ‘ATTACK the CRUD’ STUFF!  What’s in MY Wellness Arsenal?  

Well, I’ll tell you!  Here are my main personal long time-tested faves for Natural Cold Flu Easy Remedies .  

Natural Cold Flu Easy Remedies ~ My Picks!

EAT YOUR FRUITS & VEGGIES!  

Naturally, the best thing we can do is take preventative measures and eat as healthfully as we can!  Eating lots of yummy produce!  I feel it’s important, however, that you go organic where possible.  I know that’s not always easy or in the budget.  So it’s good to know each year’s DIRTY DOZEN & CLEAN FIFTEEN.  If you know what’s on the list, you will be  ‘in the know’ for your choices that aren’t as important on which to go organic – as the pesticides/contaminates are low.

* APPLE CIDER VINEGAR *  My #1 Pick!

BRAGG+vinegar+honey-healthy-healing-cold+cure-DebaDoTell-2

MY #1 – YESSSSSS! To me, there is no better, INEXPENSIVE way to remedy a myriad of ills, from skin to scalp to tummy, weight loss, to cleaning!   For a COLDHelps soothe dry throats  and helps remove body toxins.

You know that feeling when you just know you are getting a cold?  🙁  You feel the heebie-jeebies creeping up on you.  Especially in the middle of the night! I can’t count how many times this has happened to me over the years when vinegar ‘Saved The Day’!  I’d drag myself out of beddie, take a slug of vinegar and by morning… PERFECTLY FINE!  😀

My absolute favorite is BRAGG ~ Organic APPLE CIDER VINEGAR (With the Mother).   

WHAT’S ‘MOTHER’?

The thick sediment in the bottom of your vinegar container – THAT’S GOOD!  It’s the friendly bacteria full of proteins, enzymes and potassium which supports a healthy immune system!   (Shake well!)

Apple Cider Vinegar – capsules  – Handy if you don’t have the liquid available.

* HONEY * (Organic and unfiltered where possible)   Honey has antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidants activities! There are soooo many uses for it!  Smoothies, hot cereal, etc.! NATURE NATE’S is a very nice one.  

HEALTHFUL DRINK:  A fave daily preventative drink for many is 2 – 3 t vinegar & 1 or 2 t honey in 8 oz purified water.  If already sick, do this up to 6 X a day.  If you don’t want the honey, I like Stevia.  My fave is NuNaturals drops.  Not bitter!  What I use daily for health maintenance.

***SEASONINGS***

* GARLIC  *

GARLIC-BENEFIT-cold-flu-debaDotell-logo-GREEN-PHOTO-2

Garlic is an ancient remedy, still revered today, especially by me!  I use it in all these forms.  I love it as a seasoning on all my dishes, salads and at times will add to my vinegar drink for extra protection!  Use-Garlic-as-a-Cold-and-Flu-Remedy is a useful article on Wiki.

 Organic garlic Salt  Redmond is wonderful if you like a blend.  

Garlic Powder  Simply Organic is a great on if you want it pure and potent!  Nice in cooking.

* ONION *

Organic-Seasoning_Onion-choices_cold-flu-cure-remedy_DebaDoTell-logo-green

Love – Cry… Onions… Get it?  Oh, aren’t I  just so hilarious.  😉

The onion is often called “The King of Vegetables” due to its long held belief from ancient Egyptian times of its MANY BENEFITS.

Organic Onion Salt   REDMOND ONION SALT – Slightly chunky and so easy to add to dishes when cooking!

Organic Onion Powder   FRONTIER CO-OP – I looooooooooooooove this stuff.  The powder is so fine and I slather it on all my meals.  I add it after cooked on my personal dish.

FRESH ONION – (Organic if you can!)  Yuuuuuum, nothing like sauteed in olive oil onions in my dishes.  But RAW ONION is best for a cold!  Slice thinly and have a yummy AVACADO/ONION SANDWICH on natural bread.  I like purple or sweet onions for sandwiches.  Hmmmmm – I’m hungry!  😀

NO CRY TRICK!  :'(    Raw Onion can get the water-works going!  🙂  Cut it under running water. It works!  Place a secure plastic board in sink (you can put a wet cloth under to keep from slipping) and give it a go. (At your own risk, so use caution!)

* OREGANO *

Oregano-choices-Organic-Seasoning__cold-flu--prevention-DebaDoTell-logo

Oregano is an effective anti-bacterial useful for humans and animals!

Nature’s Way – Oregano Oil capsules – Easy peasy!

By mouth – Oreganol P73 Dropper – 

Simply Organic –  Oregano – Dried –  Easy way to add while cooking/baking!

Fresh – Try growing some on your window sill!

* CAYENNE *

cayenne-choices-Organic-Seasoning-cold-flu--prevention_DebaDoTell-logo

Cayenne has crazy lots of benefits!  Great for the stuffies, as it CLEARS CONGESTION! The cayenne pepper, also known as the Guinea spice, cow-horn pepper, red hot chili pepper, aleva, bird pepper,’ or, especially in its powdered form, red pepper, is a cultivar of Capsicum annuum, which is related to bell peppers, jalapeños, paprika, and others.

Cayenne Extra Hot – capsules   – Nature’s Way ~ Easiest for me!  Reeeeal hot is too spicy for me!  Even the capsules are better with food on your tummy, I think.

 Cayenne – Granules – Simply Organic is a great brand!  I do like a light sprinkle on my food.

Hot Chili Peppers (Fresh organic where possible)  Some like it HOT!   Fab if you can handle it! 😉

*****COLD & FLU HEALING ON-THE-GO*****

Here’s a few things I love cause they are so darn easy!  Chew – chew ~ Squirt!

* UMCKA *

Umcka-cold+flu-care-prevention-remedy_debadocareUmcka-hot+drink-cold+-care-prevention-remedy_debadocare

Umcka Cold + Flu

Clinically Proven Medicine from Nature Great Tasting Chewables Non-Drowsy.  I always like to have these on hand!  If I’m going to some gathering and I know ‘stuff’ is going around… I pop one in beforehand! 

Umcka Coldcare  

This is wonderful and soothing.  A hot cup of comfort.  simply pour the little packets in hot water.

* OLIVE LEAF COMPLEX *

Barleans-olive+leave+complex-throat+spray-debadotell

Barleans Olive Leaf Complex Throat Spray Love this stuff!  I keep by my bedside and if I’m ever feeling slightly funny in my throat, I reach over a go for a few sprays!

Olive Leaf Complex Throat Spray is a convenient super-antioxidant solution for promoting a healthy immune system and season wellness. Natural peppermint lemon and sage are refreshing and soothing to the throat.

  • Super ORAC Antioxidant
  • Immune Support/Seasonal Wellness

*AROMA THERAPY *

Healing for your body and your senses.  I have long used essential oils for years.  Always make sure your oils are Pure.  I use them directly on the body (nightly on my feet) with a little carrier oil.  My fave is coconut oil.

Essential Oils for Cold and Flu

  • Tea Tree Essential Oil –  Antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiseptic and antiviral properties
  • Pine Essential Oil –  Helps to clear the nasal passages in relieving sore throat pain.
  • Lavender Essential Oil –  Antiseptic and antimicrobial properties.  Gentle enough for use with children.
  • Peppermint Essential Oil –  Antiseptic and anti-viral properties. Useful as an expectorant in diffuser.  But not where babies, young children are present.
  • Lemon Essential Oil –  Increases your ability to fight off illness by helping to boost the body’s immune system, as it stimulates the production of white blood cells.
  • Eucalyptus Essential Oil – Antiviral and a decongestant, helps to soothe inflammation and to fight bacteria.
  • Rosemary Essential Oil – Antiseptic and an antimicrobial
  • You can use these alone or in blends.

Diffusers

I also use it in diffusers.  I have the Aroma Ace and Aroma Infinity.  Love them both!  I have two I received from Diffuser World.   I chose these because they are waterless, cold atomizers.  Oils are not damaged by HEAT or WATER!  Soooo, now I am an affiliate for Diffuser World, which means if you click on my link or graphic link and purchase anything from them, I will get a small commission.  yay!  win-win.

Diffuser World has pure essential oils has singles and blend packages for colds & flu, etc., that you can mix yourself!

*NOTE:  I don’t diffuse where my kitties are present.  there are many points of view on what oils are safe for felines, but I’m super cautious regarding them.  Their systems are very different than dogs and other animals.

aroma therapy – essential oils and waterless diffusers

The Complete Aromatherapy and Essential Oils Handbook for Everyday Wellness is one of many books on amazon where you can learn about the different oils and their benefits.

Cold or Flu . . . Not sure which?

 Web MD can help you out!  Most importantly, the Natural Cold Flu Easy Remedies I have listed above, I believe are absolutely fabulous for both!

Free Drawing ~ Can you guess my first line?

 1990 – Troll 2 –  What a Wild Ride!  Who knew?  None of us could have imagined this little movie we were performing in was to become the worldwide cult classic film that it is – loved by so many walks of life – “Troll 2“.

In this scene, Arnold (Darren Ewing) bravely confronts the “Monsters”.

Arnold and his new acquaintance don’t fare well, as a Goblin attack ensues!

The frightened duo stagger from the forest to a creepy looking abode.

Troll 2 Trivia: “The original church house was erected in 1898.” “Eventually, costs of maintenance and needed repairs led the congregation to remodel the old school house and convert it for use as a church. Although the school house was sold to the ward in 1936, it was not until 1946 that regular meetings were held in the refinished space, mostly due to World War II. The church was sold to Marvin and Grace Kilbourn who, despite efforts at preservation, were unable to prevent vandalism over the next several decades. In 1970, the Bergman family purchased the church and remodeled it into a home while keeping the exterior intact.[5] In 1971, it was added to the Utah State Register of Historic Sites, which is now inactive.[6]In the conversion to a private home, the steeple tower that was wood framed with Gothic-arched frames on each side was removed.[7] After being seen in Troll 2 filmed in the area in 1989, a fire in 2000 destroyed all but a shell of the original building.”  By Amariekleio at English Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=13808049

As they enter, Arnold wonders where they are.  “What is this place?”

SUDDENLY, a disturbingly odd old woman appears at the top of a rickety long staircase.

My Personal Trivia:  My first appearance in the film!  Someone grabbed me from behind as a joke away from the scope of the camera – just as I was about to say my line and descend the stairs.   It threw me off mentally!   I just went on with it, which resulted in one crazy take!  But then, the majority of my lines were one-take wonders.  Hee.)

Hmmmmmm

Here’s a little hint . . . .  

My character, Creedence Leonore Gielgud is reacting to the two strangers, Arnold and a wandering lost girl who have stumbled into her creepy abode.  Arnold asks, “What is this place?”  Creedence replies, “My ancestors come from Stonehenge…..”

Do you remember what happened to Christina’s character?

Hint:

Poor Christina.  When I met her, I remember thinking what a lovely girl she was. I’ll never forget that sweet girl’s dilemma.  Sinking in Green Jello and her teeth were chattering!  She was freezing!    And she was stuck there for quite awhile, but fortunately was done in one take. 

And what happened to Arnold?  Welllllll, that’s for another Blog!

Tropical Storm - Hurricane Harvey Devastation Credit: John Shear, National Desk

Emotional Loss in Texas.  So many sorting through what used to be their homes for any beloved treasure.           Photo credit: John Shear, National Desk

We watch the devastation in Texas and worry for all in harm’s way.  We see acts of great giving and heroism for both humans and animals.   Even residents who had much loss themselves, going out of their way to help each other.  Neighbors helping neighbors. People helping strangers.  This warms our hearts.

What Can We Do?

We feel helpless.  What can we do?

Some of us who live elsewhere will have the ability to go and work at volunteers in the appropriate ways.    How marvelous!  If not in an official, organized way, people will just be in the way or can be very dangerous.

Others of us can DONATE.  It is greatly needed as the crisis continues and in the aftermath.

Twitter:  REDCROSS to 90999  Twitter folk are challenging others to donate $10.

You can Donate here to the Red Cross to directly help those affected by Hurricane Harvey.  Even $10, as every dollar helps.  If each of us even did that, it would really add up!

Watch for more important information on this ongoing trauma in Houston.

There is Always Prayer

Prayers for Texas
Prayers for Texas

I believe praying for all involved is very powerful.  For those in need and all those responding.

Many are just grateful to be alive!  Here is a mother in an embrace with her daughter at a shelter.  thankfully, so far there has been only one death reported, at this writing.  The rebuilding is a huge task, but it is lives and loved ones that matter most.  But they need our help.  What lies ahead is hugely difficult.

Grateful to be Alive - credit - Courtney Sacco

Gratitude

My Flood:  Five years after my flood, I am finally in the finishing stages of putting my home back together.  My son has helped me with the mold, total demolition, and rebuild of many areas.  Remodel is almost completed. 

It has been difficult, as the flood occurred just two weeks prior to the loss of my darling husband, Randy.  I certainly relate to in a small amount of what these folks in Houston are going through with loss of possessions, especially irreplaceable photos and heirlooms.  As well as some loss of life and the threat of it.  It is hard to truly imagine what these folks are going through right now.

Every Day, I feel so grateful to simply still have my home to even work on – when I think of the horrible loss of so many over the last years since, where I have seen folks lose everything.  Their entire homes and possessions in one fell swoop.  What we are seeing now!   I have been very blessed with dear people who have helped me along the way in many ways.  But when the devastation is so widespread all at once, it will take more than kind neighbors, but loving strangers to help these folks.

My Story:  You can read my ongoing DIY story here.  I’ve been updating it as I go.  There’s been a lull as I’ve been so busy on the house but latest updates coming soon if you care to follow.

*******************

Thank you for spending some time with me, dear friends.  I hope we can unite in our effort to help our friends in Houston with our Hearts, Minds and $.

One Holiday at a Time, if you Please

Halloween Countdown?  What?  Already, you say?  Never too early for a countdown to Halloween, eh dear Minions?  I have to admit when I went to Costco, the other day, skeletons and witches were invading my organic foods space, and I said to myself and anyone within earshot, “What?  Geesh, can’t we wait till at least September?  When I turned the corner and, yep, you guessed it . . . . Christmas decorations were where my  GMO-Free chips were supposed to be.  “Okay . . . that does it, I’m really not ready for this!   Just give me a little space to breathe!” I sighed.

Halloween is Closer Than You Think

But when I saw this cool reminder on my friend’s facebook page… I knew I was in the game!  So here it is . . . . Reminding us that it is never too early to start thinking about Ghosts ‘n’ Goblins ‘n’ stuff and those mind-bending costumes!    (What are YOU going to be?)  Soon, I’ll be posting Creedence costumes that my dear minions have created over the years after my character in “Troll 2”!  Now that’s an honor.

Speaking of the WOLF MAN….  

MOVIE COUNTDOWN!

Doesn’t that get you in the mood to start watching our favorite classic horror movies?  Here’s a good place to start! How about tomorrow night after the eclipse!

For lots of fun with trivia, cool pics and my thoughts on this fab movie, read my REVIEW

Eclipse 2017 – Protect Your Peepers!

A COAST TO COAST TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE!  AUGUST 21, 2017 – It’s been 100 years!

Once upon a time, some believed the eclipse was due to a vampire trying to swallow the sun, but burned his tongue!

What do werewolves love like they love a FULL MOON?  A FULL BLACK SUN!  Perfectly WOLFLISHIOUS.  

Please protect your eyes! Werewolves can look straight at an Eclipse with their special celestial-type eyes (I’ve been told by the best of them), but not YOU.  Here is some great info on protecting your eyeballs and why!  During Eclipse, Your Eyes Can Scorch.   Also, BEWARE OF PHONEY BALONIE PROTECTIVE GLASSES!    

Here’s some nice folk watching an eclipse in Paris a few years back . . . .  I wonder what protection they were wearing?  Hope no burned eyeballs, there!   BTW, see the werewolf in the back to the left in the shadows?  

WHERE TO WATCH WITHOUT PROTECTION

You can always stay cozy and watch in the comfort of home or your office WITHOUT THE NEED OF EYEBALL PROTECTION . . . . Watch online as it happens!   SOLAR ECLIPSE 2017  

  • Here’s great info on Eclipse photo tips and other FASCINATING TRIVIA, PLUS what’s happening at watch-sites!
