Return of a Pain in the neck

I've been away for so long that I'm not sure who is still contributing to this very much missed site. I was a very, very sick lady starting in March of 2016 and spent several months in various hospitals and re-habs. Just the name re-hab sounds funny to me, because re-hab always meant re-hab for drugs and alcohol, however, in my case it was due to heart trouble, pneumonia, suspicion of female parts problems, and one or two other little things along the way. During this time, one of the dipsy doctors told my kids that I should no longer live alone and should be moved into a place where I could get more 'up close' care. Now I'm in a assisted living hotel here on the North side of Chicago which is really just an old peoples home, but I'm still the same hard-a$$ I have always been and now am fully recovered after giving up my nice, beloved apartment where I lived for 11 happy years, in addition to most of my belongings like kitchen stuff, books, etc. not to mention furniture. Any way, this dump-house has ONLY Comcast cable, and since they take every dime I have as income, which includes my Soc. Sec., and pensions, and leave me a whopping $90.00 a month for personal expenses, I no longer get to watch TCM There are a couple of channels that show older movies, and often feature a single actor like Cary Grant, Richard Widmark, etc. So, folks, life goes on!!!! and I have to make the best of it.
Believe it or not, most of the people living here are older than my 72 but I haven't yet found a classic movie fan in the whole 418 inmates. (Where in the Hell am I?) I mentioned Randolph Scott the other day and four people said WHO??? Can you believe it??? So that's my sad story from last April to today, 5 days before my 72nd birthday. I realize I'm in the New Member thread, but I can't be sure if anyone out there even remembers me because we all know how people come and go hereabouts.
So, Happy New Year to all of you, and when I see discussions about the movies I especially love, like The Searchers, Ride the High Country, Executive Suite and so many others, I'll stick my nosey two cents in on your conversations like old times.
Love to all.
