I lived in East Hollywood at the time and had a bird outside I called Elton John because he put on a performance. I was so sad when he disappeared. PS I went to Regis!

I’m seeing a lot of “Please Be Advised” in this piece. And literally, not figuratively, made me laugh out loud. When is the “Pleased Be Advised” sequel coming?

LOVE this post. Since March 2020, when many of us began ordering sweatpants online... Ha!

The published piece is hilarious and SO insightful. The end just right. BRAVA! (The neighbor playing loud music is my worst nightmare!)

The mocking who returned every year in North Hollywood could mimic a car alarm perfectly. In the middle of the night. Gah!
