Food share Rocks!

by Leslie Jacobs


I feel very lucky in my life. I can go to get free food down the street from me.

I’m gonna make something with eggplant and I can put fresh lime juice in my water.


I ate a banana split today

When you have a breakthrough in therapy-you celebrate and cry.

Seeing Richard Thomas reminded me of a situation with my mother that happened in 1975. I realized I didn’t have a chance in hell and why I was so angry with my mother. I was fighting for survival. When she died I felt So Free. Now, I understand why! She had Fear. I have fear. But I also still have dreams.

But, it’s now my time to forgive her-if I can-and just keep moving forward!


I’m 65 and just figured out my mother was my bully.

by Leslie Jacobs


I have loved actor/great human being Richard Thomas since the 1970s and wrote tv scripts in an effort to meet him. I’d send them to earl hammer and receive them back with a black stamp on the front-Unsolicited material-return to a sender.

So, I wrote to one of the Walton’s scriptwriters and he WROTE me back. He included an actual Walton’s script and a letter telling me I had the ability to make words work for me.

I was celebrated and made my dad cry proud tears. Me too! There was a story about it in the local paper. Now I had something else to send with my college application in 2 years. I was floating. I was so happy-and I knew I was going to UCLA and MAYBE meet him one day.

I was 15 when I said this to my mom.

She told me she believed this was just a hoax, and it didn’t really come from him-maybe a secretary at the production company.

I said. I believed John McGreevy. She told me to write him and ask. I mailed it on a Tuesday and never heard from him again.

So now many decades later I’m at Theater Works watching Mark Twain Tonight with Richard Thomas and telling the story of the script to friends before the show. I catch myself almost bursting into tears as I recall the happiness I had when first opening the script.

The show was raw, edgy and funny just like Twain was in his day. RT was excellent as always. We talked for a few moments he signed my script and I told him I use to write scripts in an effort to meet him. He looked at me, signed the script and said Ha! What does Ha mean?

My friend Rosemary said it means you are a Fan. As I told her the above story-she said Your mom couldn’t let you have anything.

She was scared to Be left alone. My father hadn’t even died yet. That was next year—

Tuesday is Therapy!


My television died. Im NOT going to replace it. I have a phone.

I have an iPhone 12 and as long as it keeps working why do I need a TV on the wall ? As cheap as they seem to be-I can’t afford it yet. I have a 50 inch my best friend bought me as a Birthday/Christmas some years ago. Now, that I’m used to a 50 inch—I’d like a 55 inch to even out the wall space of where it hangs

I switched to unlimited on my iPhone and canceled my home internet. Saving enough money to pay medical bills. Yeah!

I’m trying to get to such a minimum of possessions I could live in a tiny house . I’m keeping the purple couch and a chair.

Anyone want a dining room table and chairs —$500.00 pure mahogany.

Let me know what you think.


Richard Thomas personifies Mark Twain in Mark Twain Tonight at TheaterWorks.

by Leslie Jacobs


If you are lucky enough to already have tickets to TheaterWorks in Hartford CT for Mark Twain Tonight-you are Lucky for this sold out in CT . However you might be able to score a ticket in November in UTAH or other places as this show tours across the United States.

It’s a fast 90 minutes with No intermission. The staging, lights and glue wig all work together to bring Twain to life .

You will see a transformation from Man to boy from youth with vigor to older gentleman with ease.

Thomas plays Twain at a speaking event recreating his very famous lines that brought tears of laughter and joyous applause to this play. You can buy them on Magnets at the MT pop up store

Emmy Award winning Actor Richard Thomas plays such a great older man to the point when I saw him in person he looked SO much Younger and he is 4 years old than Twain was at this time. What a marvelous man!

Let’s get his skincare routine because he looks 20 years younger than his real age of 74.

When I told him I was going to be 66 in a month-he told me “You are a baby. You are a baby.”

That is why RT will always be my favorite actor.


The Republican Mayoral Candidate is a Democrat—-

by Leslie Jacobs


Ah New Britain Republicans pulling a fast one on its citizens.

This is why you don’t trust Republicans. They lie. Sharon has been a democrat all her life.

Why is Erin Stewart endorsing a Democrat? She has had democrats on her ticket for years!

Can you guess whom they are????
