Did I miss discussion here of the passing of George Lindsey, who played Goober Pyle on ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW and MAYBERRY R.F.D.?

One of my favorite character actors.  He was 83.

What is the best thing you have purchased at a yard sale.....AND what it the thing you put in a yard sale that you never thought would sell....and by golly....somebody bought it?

Good question. I once sold a rug I had purchased in Mexico many moons ago. It was in great condition and I always liked it, but I was moving and trying to pare down. It wasn't the sort of thing I expected to be popular in the DC area. But you only need ONE buyer, right? Once I had a buyer I kept thinking I should have asked more for it. But it needed a new home.

LOL JMK,  I wouldn't have paid $190 for the table I got.  $25, you bet

[Cillaliz]

I can't even think of the best thing I got at a yard sale.  I have some really cool stuff I've gotten at total bargain prices.  There was a sale last summer that was almost all antiques.

I had a quarter on a bunch of pans that were burned and in bad shape, they came from a box at an auction.  every one of them sold.that surprised me.   I do price things to sell.

Although this dvd says original UK version. ANd i have no idea what they have been showing here.

PBS tends to cut nudity, if there is any, and other things they find offenssive or off-putting in their "adaptations" of the British programs.  The amount of USA cuts depends on whether it comes from Boston or another PBS station.

I'm sort of confused because it says original UK version on the dvd. But there is all kinds of PBS/Masterpiece theatre stuff on the dvd.

And I didn't record it from PBS. There is a station here called Vision tv that replayed seasons 1 and 2. So i don't even know if they are showing the PBS version.

I ended up not starting it right away. I still have 2 more loads of laundry. But i have the dishwasher going.

I've discussed this previously, spoiling many things in the process.   

PBS slightly edited the original broadcast versions--nothing major, just a clip here and there.  It's mostly noticeable in the abrupt cuts in the music cues.  The DVDs present the original unedited versions.

Well, I didn't either.

Thing I thought would never sell:

That painting on velvet that my husband picked out. It was hideous.

DR JRand61, you've been in my thoughts the past hour. i'm listening to the great Dorothy Provine and her Roaring 20s recordings. Just the best!

I ain't no native - I was born here!

?  ?  ? 

LOL....that's what she replied to Tony Curtis in THE GREAT RACE when he asked her if she was a native of Burracho?

I don't remember her in THE GREAT RACE!

[George]

DR George, I'm glad your birthday festivities are going well.

Thank, Larry!  They'll continue in a couple of hours.

[George]

Glad DR George had a nice party.Hope it continutes to be good today.

Thanks, Jennifer!  I'm sure that it will be.

[George]

Hope the belated birthday celebration is going well, George.

Thanks, Fred!

[George]

Hi all!

Hope all are doing well and are happy. 

Sorry for being E & T.  There just is a lot going on and I have a lot on my mind here lately. 

The surveyor came and did their thing.  It was really interesting to watch.  I think they will have the space they need to put the room on.  Yay!

Great news, Danise!

[George]

Well, now that I'm all caught up, I need to leave.  I have to take a shower, get dressed and go to my sister's for the family's celebration.  My sister and niece sent me a gift certificate for Amazon.com, so I already have that.  I'm sure that I'll just get more gift certificates/cards, which is fine by me.

Until later!

It seems like i haven't seen the movie in 50 years! All i remember is the pie fight. Thanks for youtube!

[Jane]

Thank you, DR Laura, for a moon in focus photo. I'm afraid I wasn't able to hold the camera steady enough in the dark to get that shot. (Something about tequila shots might have had something to do with it.  )

[Jane]

YAY!  CONTINUED VIBES IT ALL WORKS OUT FOR YOU!

[Jane]

My throat is actually not really hurting. But i'm all congested. So maybe this thing is running its course and now i have a cold?

No wonder you kept waking up.  Vibes this finishes running its course very soon!

[Jrand73]

The pie fight was the best part.....interesting that every time Dorothy dragged her boa over Natalie....it was a closeup of Natalie and Dorothy's double.

[Jrand73]

I think....but I'm not sure yet....that Golf will end on time!!!

[Jrand73]

oh....forgot to say congrats to DR VIXMOM on her millstone.

[Jane]

Anyhow there was really no way a 2-3 year old could play this. But she insisted.

So i figured we'd each pick a person. And then we'd ask some questions and see what happened.

So i asked her my first question "is your person a girl". She answers yes (which is already not good since there are only like 5 girls). Then i say "is your person a red-head?". Well she says yes. But i realize she doesn't know what a red-head is. ANd since there is only one girl with red hair....


It turns out she was a blonde kid. So i asked her to pick another person, and this time to pick a boy (since there are 20 boys on the board.

She tells me" I am not a boy auntie, I am a girl and i will not choose a boy!"

I tried to convince her it didn't mean she was a boy. And that there were only 5 girls on the board. But she wouldn't budge.

LOL

[Jane]

went to the cemetary to put flowers at Kyle's grave, met his dad there

     I'm sure he appreciated your visit.

Is there nudity at DOWNTON‽  I don't remember any.

[Jane]

BK you should have a message on your phone that says PLEASE DO NOT CALL BEFORE 10am!

If only he could.

[Jane]

Hello, everyone.

Add me to those under the weather. There's something down in my chest. Ugh!

VIBES IT GETS OUT OF THERE SUPER FAST!!!

[Jane]

I had never heard of OPI. It sounds like a government acronym to me.

Next time you walk past a manicurist check out their nail polish, most likely they will be using OPI.

Did I miss discussion here of the passing of George Lindsey, who played Goober Pyle on ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW and MAYBERRY R.F.D.?

You didn't miss it.  I've been watching for something before posting the news.

[Jrand73]

Dear God In Heaven it's a Sudden Death in Golf.......hopefully they overage will just be taken out of the local news.....heaven knows 60 MINUTES won't give up the ad time.
