I recently saw the Three Valentines' episode again and the Niles' section had me nearly crying with laughter, as usual. John Diamond (the broadcaster and journalist), commented, when he was terminally ill with cancer, that it was the little things in life that made the difference, and specifically mentioned watching re-runs of Frasier as one such thing. Very occasionally, I find an episode I've never seen before, which is a real treat.Helen Barbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932545445679328061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799580434163737105.post-16449534008426320572013-12-03T17:34:59.841+00:002013-12-03T17:34:59.841+00:00Mike, thanks for your feedback.Mike, thanks for your feedback.Helen Barbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932545445679328061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799580434163737105.post-64543226309058470432013-12-03T17:33:48.544+00:002013-12-03T17:33:48.544+00:00Lindsay, I have also had worries about my hearing,...Lindsay, I have also had worries about my hearing, but have been reassured to find out, when I watch something with my partner, that he has the same trouble. We have to translate for each other - assuming, of course, that one of us has managed to make out what's being said. Frequently we're both struggling over the same section of dialogue or with the same actor's delivery.Helen Barbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932545445679328061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799580434163737105.post-14406477406151002702013-12-03T17:29:30.464+00:002013-12-03T17:29:30.464+00:00ocdtalk, thank you for confirming my understanding...ocdtalk, thank you for confirming my understanding of what a 'noogie' is.

A huge waste of time? Maybe, but my husband and I guffaw at length whenever something happens in reality that allows us to quote a Frazierism. Perhaps there will come a time when your skill with the rewind button may also bring a smile to your face...?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799580434163737105.post-88998505600497563192013-12-02T19:04:39.269+00:002013-12-02T19:04:39.269+00:00Yes, I can complete;y relate regarding your blog a...Yes, I can complete;y relate regarding your blog article.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12535316513005115659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799580434163737105.post-85896588737348583922013-12-02T17:24:05.915+00:002013-12-02T17:24:05.915+00:00I'm glad it's not just me that thinks so m...I'm glad it's not just me that thinks so many actors mumble (wasn't sure if it was my hearing that was deteriorating)especially Americans! I watched an entire film, where I could catch only about half the dialogue of one actress - but the plot was pretty basic so it didn't matter - so, no, I didn't attempt a re-run that time but on a DVD have often done just that!!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631254646368974136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799580434163737105.post-52278481219945928832013-12-02T14:27:54.688+00:002013-12-02T14:27:54.688+00:00Hi Helen, Yes, your definition of a noogie is accu...Hi Helen, Yes, your definition of a noogie is accurate :). I don't have OCD so it's hard for me to relate but I find your post interesting. For me, watching television or a movie is a way to relax, but it sounds just the opposite for you with your specific compulsions. Wishing you all the best!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
