I know we ask and answer this question every year, but what are your plans for this years memorial???

I just found out that our school has off again tomorrow (this has been all week now and I am going out of my mine, but I have been writing gang! LOL)

I decided since I have off, that I am going to spend the day in a Freddie marathon. I will watch many of his shows, the Mike Douglas tapes, the TOAD tape and then finish off the day with the MDR. I haven't done this in a long time. My hubby and my daughter will just have to understand. I wanted to honor his talent this year. I know he wants us to remember that about him.

I've started already, since I've always thought of Jan 27 - 29 as the Freddie Memorial Zone. I have a candle lit in my room for him, I've been working on my new Freddie scrapbook, and I listen a lot to the tribute CDs. If the weather holds, I'm hoping to go to Mass first thing tomorrow and pray for him -- but I also want to watch some tapes and laugh at CATM, as I've recently learned to do again. I've also given myself permission to skip choir practice tomorrow night.

Well unfortunately i have to work tomorrow...so i will light a candle for him as well as for the other memorial i have that day and in the evening i am going to write my fingers off. (fan fiction that is)

I've been steady thinking of Freddie today knowing that tomorrow is "the" day.

I am trying to make something for him but, it's not coming out the way I want it to come out. I'll post it later on tonight. It's from my heart though.

Tomorrow I will light a candle in remembrance of him.

BUMP

I love that it's awesome so many of freddie's beautiful expressions!
Thank you!

Here is something I made for Freddie...

:rofl: I tried............ :lol:

I think it's beautiful.

Well this a day I dread personally, but I think helps to know that there are others out there thinking along the same lines. I have two things to share right quick though.

First off, I'm watching TV as I'm typing this and just so happen to have VH1 going and who do i hear, but Super Mexicano, Chico Rodriguez! LOL If you haven't heard, there is a new show coming on VH1 called TV Race Riot and it will talk about some of the funnier race related moments in TV history. Here;s alink to the site about it.
Vh! TV Race Riot (http://www.vh1.com/shows/schedule/series_sched.jhtml?seriesID=12690)

Second, is my tribute to Freddie, I hope that you like it!

Another beautiful tribute ... these are bringing tears to my eyes.

God bless you, Freddie.

Thank you Victorianscribe for the nice compliment. All of the tributes are just beautiful. Dani this is also a day that I dread. You are not alone. :crying:

I tried to fix the Freddie tribute and here it is a little fine tuned.

Hello, guys!
I've had very little access to a computor lately, but somehow I managed today, because I really wanted to post a tribute to our Freddie!
He was truly one in a million and he brightened the world with his talent, even though it was for such a short time! But his memory will continue live on through his work and his many fans who will not forget him!
I love all the tributes; they are beautiful!

wow they are all so beautiful!
We all may be some distance apart but i know we will get through this day together.

Thanks Dani for the info on the show. I will add it to my Freddie watching planned for today.

Thank you for all of the wonderful tributes. I know Freddie is smiling on all of us today.

Wonderful job on all the tributes ladies. It is a day to celebrate Freddie's life. He wouldn't want us to be sad. I am just so thankful each and every day that I reconnected with this man. He is still bringing so much job to my life and through that joy I have made many new friends that feel the same way I do about our Mr. Prinze. We love you Freddie Prinze.

WOW!!!! these are some beautiful tributes!
you know in certain freddie would be overwhelmed with pride to know that even after all this time he has fans who hold his memory strong and high
i hope there are people like you around to support selena 20 + years from now :)

I want to watch some CATM & other Freddie stuff plus the usual Fri nite routine of watching George Lopez with my hubby. George's show remoinds me of Freddie. I plan to make him watch Freddie with me. So glad he likes CATM...

Excellent tributes. I think I'm gonna need a hankie in a minute I'm getting so teared...

I did up 2 more pics of Freddie...

Here is one of him as he could'ved possibly looked if he were alive today...

Here is him as an old man...

Oops I left out the pic LOL! I tried to make his hair gray in both pics...

Here ya go! :)

I love all the tributes!

I can remember January 29, 1977 so vividly because it was such a devastating time for me. I wish computers had been available back then so I could have shared my sadness and heartache with all those that loved him too. When he died I told myself that I would go on with my life and forget about him because afterall, he was just a celebrity that I had developed a crush on. Well here I am 27 years later still loving him and wishing he were here. The best thing about it today is that I can share him with all of you. Freddie would be so pleased with all the beautiful tributes and memories we all have of him. His heart beats on through the wonderful stories that are written with him in mind and his memory lives on through all of you. You are always on my mind dear Freddie!!!!!

Last nite I watched the first 3 CATM episodes with my hubby. I laughed & cried at the same time, the crying being sad crying over him & had a hankie out. And I drooled over him too. I noticed he had a hot butt. Woo-hoo for the backside of Chico!!!!

Also in one of the episodes I found a blooper. It was the one where a lady with a Pinto comes in to get gas she says her hubby told her the car takes high test. Ed says no she can put that or regular in it & puts regular in it. I remember that back then cars took either regular or high test but a car wouldn't take both.

Also my hubby said that his mom who died in 1976 liked CATM & watched it & liked Freddie & thought he was a nice boy. Wow, I wish I could've met her but she died before I ever met Mike. (Met him in 1983)...

Tonight we shall watch more... :)

Here's a new pic I did up. It's no good lol...

Here's another one I did up with a pic that was posted on these boards...

I started out the day watching the second half of the first season of CATM, starting with the Shirley Shrift episode and ending with Louie's retirement episode. Then I got out the two appearances Freddie made on the Mike Douglas show. What a riot. I only wish I had the one where his parents were on too. Then I watched the Million Dollar Rip-off again, this time with my daughter. She wasn't too impressed until they got to the end and the surprise made her laugh as well. I think that was probably the most satisfying part of my day with Freddie. I always enjoy watching him more when I have others around who laugh and enjoy him with me.

We love you Freddie. :loveya:

sounds like you had a beautiful day and made some beautiful memories with your daughter...I think that is how Freddie wanted to be remembered. YOU GO GIRL!!!

OMGoodness............. All the tributes are beautiful.

I experienced something last night and I even pondered if I should post it but, it's bothering me so much I might as well post it.

All day yesterday I was busy. I got on the computer in the morning and after that I went about my business. Shopping, homework with the kids, cooking etc. Sometime around 8:30 or 9:00 PM I was smelling a weird odor in my house. I asked my hubby Do you smell that? It smells like a wierd fragrance? My hubby said no. He continued looking at the TV set and I forgot about the odor.

Anyway later on I went into the kitchen and again I smelled the fragrance. I couldn't fathom where the smell was coming from. So I started to put my dishes away (They were in the dishwasher)... While putting the dishes away........ Freddie came to my mind..... I felt he was kind of nudging me to light the candle for him. I ran and turned on the candle that I had set aside for him. Is this weird or what??? :eek:

oooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh

Isn't it eerie. :eek:

I've said it before but i'll say it again i wish i could have a Freddie dream or something.

No, Pitooey, that's not strange at all, and I'll tell you why. I posted here last Fall when I lit the candle for Freddie in church and had two words come into my mind: Forgive Me. I even discussed that with a priest (although I didn't tell him who I was lighting the candle for). He said that it could very well have been a message from beyond -- and that when you think of someone who's passed, they could be reaching out to you, needing your prayers, and you should pray for them.

I am right now reeling over the first of Cheryl's most recent wallpapers. It contains exactly the text of what I feel to be the most recent message I received from Freddie -- Do Not Forget Me. I just got home from church, and when I saw it, I just about passed out.

So I'm wondering, Cheryl, where did you get the idea for that one?

I want to know the same thing. When I saw Cheryl's picture it kind of gave me the shudders. :eek:

Not only that......... What you just posted Victorian about the candle that is eerie too. :eek:

This is not the first time I have felt eerie stuff.

I didn't even want to post about the strange odor but, it kept bothering me. The scent went into my living room first when I was sitting down and we were both looking at the TV. As I was putting the dishes away Freddie came to me in my mind.

That's when I had the reminder to light the candle. It's almost like he didn't want me to forget.....I will pray for Freddie..........

Wow, that is weird. Sounds like Luckymama had a great time watching Freddie. Plan to do that tonight. The Mike Douglas show, anyone who has him on that is lucky. I would love to find that! Maybe Freddie looks down from heaven & sees how we are tributing him & doesn't want to be forgotten...

Hi All!

I am so sorry I haven't been on lately. My computer died a few months back, and since then my new job has really kept me busy.

I wanted to add to this thread now though. I still remember seeing him at Jimmy Carters inauguration, and then a few weeks after that hearing the news about our Freddie, and literally having my jaw drop open as you see bad actors do when they feign fear. I never knew that was a real reaction to fear and unhappiness until that day.

Now I am so thankful that I can log on and connect with people who feel similarly to me about my feelings for Freddie. I love him and will always always always love him. I know I will never forget him, and am so thankful that I have you guys to help me keep his memory alive.

Love ya,

Sandra

I can only echo Sandra's comments. BTW, Sandra, I've missed our chats -- it seems like we keep missing each other. I hope to catch up with you soon. :)

Welcome back ya'll. Last nite my hubby & I watched some CATM episodes. Between both days we got about 8 episodes watched. I had my teary moments too watching the show. When we watched the episode where Ed Brown thinks he's lost his touch as a mechanic. In the scene where Ed tells Chico what he thinks Chico would've told him to cheer him up & Chico gets touched & cries, it made me cry. I can't bear to see him cry. Chico cried & it had me joining in with the hankies. We hope to watch more tonite & maybe the MILLION DOLLAR RIPOFF too...

Sorry for not posting about this when the anniversary accord. I was remembering Freddie in his happier times. Watching the episodes only brought joy to my heart and not heartache. Watching Freddie's most precious gift of laughter brought tears to my eyes not in the sense of the downfall that accord but just missing him all together. I believe we are achieving his goal to be remembered the way he would of wanted it. Sharing our love for Freddie in our own unique way. For those of you who were fortunate to know Freddie your memories that are shared to this day bring joy to our hearts as well as joy in Freddie's spirit.

I dreamed about Freddie twice last nite but have no idea what the dreams were about. & I dreamed all sorts of other non-Freddie related stuff too like a weird dream about Arlo... I think one of the dreams might've been about Muff Kovack. I bet that was cuz I read Luckymamas new fan fiction. :)

I noticed some things in some CATM episodes. Mable is on the show before Louie which I didn't realize as many times as I've watched the show. She first appears on the 6th episode. Louie first appears in the 8th episode. Looks like they took quite awhile to get Chico & Ed introduced to each other before showing their friends on there. First Mando episode was episode #2 I think...

In one of the first 8 episodes where Chico is wearing some tight bellbottom jeans that don't have alot of pockets on them, it looked to me like he had something stuck inside the back butt of his jeans like maybe he didn't have enough pockets to put the stuff in. It looked to me like it was maybe a pack of cigarrettes & a hankie cuz one of the things looked shaped like a pack of cigs & the other was squared shaped looking about the size of a folded hankie. LOL! How he fit them inside of those tight jeans I'll never know as they were plastered to him LOL! I forget which episode it was in but it was in the first 7 or 8...


I also noticed how he really got into the character of Chico. In the episode where Ed Browns tries to get rid of Chico & he tells Chico he should've been a dr or lawyer instead of some garage mechanic, I noticed when Ed said that to Chico, Chico looked really hurt & started tearing up. Freddie looked so hurt & teary. I noticed when he was getting ready to leave the garages office & go back out into the main garage, he teared up & looked so hurt & I noticed he choked up & swallowed hard like he was about to bust out bawling or something. & When he walked out into the main garage he looked like he was about to reach in his pocket for a hankie. Then he turned around to go back to Ed & I noticed he started to smile thru his tears. Poor baby he looked so sad. The first time I saw that episode again after the show came back on TVLAND, I thought for sure he was gonna bust out bawling & get out a hankie.

Also in the episode where Ed Brown is upset at his ex-friend Guerra & Chico tries to get them back together, I noticed he actually cried in that episode. In the scene where Chico had Guerra go up to Ed Brown in his room & make up, I noticed Chico had tears in his eyes & I saw tears streaming down his face. I think wasn't in the script to cry like that & that the scene really got to Freddie. Poor baby... I could sense in those scenes that he really got into the character of Chico & was feeling his emotions. That's good acting.


Hopefully I will get to see more tonight! :)

Wow, that is really interesting that you saw all that. I will have to go and check all of the things you noticed, and I missed out.

That was so insightful and fun to read. I feel as if I know Freddie better now after your observations. If you catch anything else, let us know, I would be interested in hearing more of what you catch.

Sandra

Here are some pics of him tearing up from the episode where Ed Brown told Chico he should've been a dr or lawyer etc instead of a garage mechanic & Chico teared up & looked like he was about to break down & cry...

Another one from 2 various episodes of CATM one of which was the Ed Brown thought he'd lost his touch as a mechanic...

Another pic...
