I told Jillian to go to Vegas. It worked for me. Then a friend reminded me you have to go to Vegas and “adopt” a child.
More on “my” child in a moment. We had a mini miracle yesterday.
Anyway…when I got (what I call) GOOD DAY LA-ed. My husband took me to Vegas. Got laid. Felt much better. At least for a few days.
I miss my TV family. I had to tease Steve about his new co-host being his Granddaughter’s age. And Jillian tells me the 2 day a week gig was not fun. We did laugh in the old days (and sometimes I cried but thats a whole other blog). Jillian is a strong girl. She will survive. And thrive. Hey Hey.
As for Sandrarita Playa Chica…she has FINGERS (does that sound odd?) In the photo (taken by my beautiful friend Brooke Bohm) you can see Sandra’s fingers were fused.
Last week she had surgery (when I stole her lollipop, hope no one called Child Services). Yesterday we were laying around and she started laughing. She felt a tingling in her FINGERS. Inside her gigantic cast she felt FINGERS. So where there was one piece of flesh there are now (am I over stating?) FINGERS. She laughed. I cried. We called her Mom ( in El Salavador) and laughed and cried.
Then I heard about Jill. I was basically on the verge of tears all day.
Sandra goes to the Doctor next week. They will take off the cast and we will see (you know whats coming) her FINGERS!
And my prescription for Jill? Vegas Baby.
What a lovely blog post on so many levels…so glad you have kept up with the family members…will miss the three amigos….stopped watching when you left…. It was just depressing…
It was a lovely blog post today. And Good Day LA – well I already have stopped watching. And they are so obviously AGE DISCRIMINATING I think you two should file an Age Discrimination Lawsuit – bet Gloria woudl take it, lol. Seriously – I have a 25 year old – a target demographic – do you think she watches or cares about mornining news? NO! But I do – and I have the money to spend – she doesnt. I am 52 and very sad about the ageism in television . . . .Thanks for the Blog!
I don’t know why I’m taking this so personally, but I am so angry about these changes. I’ve seen it written a hundred times about this topic, but… You don’t fix something that is not broken! The show really has sucked since you left. You can feel everyone’s fear on set. “Am I next?” And, yes, they are next. Poor Steve. I love him, but I’m not going to watch anymore. There is no chemistry with all these women they’ve been auditioning. This new one? No offense to her personally, but I don’t get it. GDLA just screwed up royally. I hope whoever did all the firing is then fired for his bad decisions. It’s just awful. Well, it’s nice to keep up with you through social media. Take care, Dorothy. I feel like I know you all personally. I’ve been watching forever. I guess I’ll listen to music while getting ready in the morning from here on out. God bless you for all your good work. Hugs!
Speaking of miracles… Happy to know Sandra is ‘feeling the healing’! I’m proud of you both.
Uh, does this mean I have to go Vegas to get laid?? just asking… LOL
BTW I just learned of Jill’s departure. Now I know Fox has really lost their minds. I’m confident Jill will land on her feet and find her niche just as you did. I’m certain God will open new doors for her and she will totally know what to do. As all things happen for a reason, maybe it was just time for both you girls to “get your own gig on”.. and opportunity has presented herself! So go get ‘em!!
I quite frankly agree Dorothy…Vegas cures all ills…at least that has been my experience…a little harder with little kids for Jillian..and I am always a little poorer when I leave and REALLY tired…but, I can never wait to go back..so, I am thinking money and sleep aren’t that important..LOL
As I post yet again…miss you both…and having a long period of adjustment after so many years…is very, very easily understandable…now you have each other though…:)…and in time it will fade to happy memories…while new memories are in the making.
So nice you have the blog so we…the fans..don’t have complete withdrawal symptoms…LOL
Praise God for Sandra’s fingers!! Yay! On another note, I’ve said it before, but I also stopped watching GDLA when you left. Like one of your other commenters said, I’m sure I’m now out of their focus demo, as I am in my sixties. But, I was a faithful watcher from the beginning until they brought in the “bleeding eyes” guy. I wonder if their new audience will be as faithful as we were! I felt a part of the group and laughed and cried with you three. I hope that Jillian will find her niche as well as you have and will continue to do. Keep up the good work!
When you left it was a complete shocker.I was thinking to myself “how can they them?”. I knew it wouldn’t be the same without you. And now this with Jillian. My girlfriend felt something was going on when days before she heard Jill say something to Steve something along the lines of “soon you won’t have me around” and sure enough I saw on Twitter about Jill leaving that just ruined my day with her gone their is no was I’m gonna continue watching glda while I get ready for work.since the very beginning I was a loyal viewer bug not anymore.
Hi Dorothy,
I just wanted to tell you that I miss seeing you in my living room every (weekday) morning. I know you’ve heard it before but I still cannot believe FOX would go for such a low blow. I, like many others, tried to continue watching Steve and Jill, but its not the same. In fact, its so lame I’ve stopped watching all together. The three of you had such a great vibe together, I cannot understand why the Execs thought it was a good idea to take you out of the mix!
I know you are busy with your son and Mending Kids, but I also know the sting from how FOX did this to you still hurts. Never you mind, you are better than them and it is their loss. I wish you great success in any endeavor you choose to follow, you will be great at whatever you do next!
You are much loved and much missed!
Warm Regards,
Pamela Elshaar
yea, Sandra could feel her fingers. I just got chills up and down my spine. Thank you GOD for this miracle and for the Doctor’s wonderful skills and for your kind heart and caring. As far as GDLA goes, I am now watching it with a whole new perspective. It’s like watching a new show in a way. I was never a fan of Jillian’s so I was more then elated when she was fired. I miss the heck out of you but I know there’s not a thing I could do about it SO I go on. If you didn’t have your blog I’d probably be ranting and raging. I am SO very happy to chat this way then not at all. Keep up what you’re doing friend,
Hugs to you all,
Bunny
You cried when you heard the news that Jillian was fired from GDLA. I think your mug went on channel 5 news shortly after you were fired to back stab Jillian and tell all of channel 5 viewers that you felt her on air apology to you was fake. Was that just a way to get your mug back on television? I think you were waiting for Jillian to get fired because misery loves company. You have always been jealous of her.
All I can say is THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES! I have officially stopped watching GDLA today. It’s been horrendous since you left. I held on because of Steve and Jill but I can do it no longer. I worked in radio for 15 years before I had my babies and became a full time Mommy. You all were part of every morning. I laughed, cried and got mad right with the three of you. I’m so sad that they took that away from me. I’m now 45 so I’m probably no longer in their core demo so they don’t care. Wishing great things for all of you and thanks for sharing your journey with Sandra. What a joy she must be! Bless you!!!
