Food table. Just out of the shot to the right there was a crockpot full of meatballs and behind the photographer there was the beverage station with punch, water, and coffee.

I'm up, I'm up - barely. Maybe six and a half hours of sleep and I may just go back to bed after Piano Man is done.

One of Jen's brilliant ideas was to ask people to bring a book instead of a card and inscribe it to Baby J. His library is off to a great start!

Looks like a FUN party DR GINNY. I like the book idea a lot!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #72 on:** March 30, 2015, 08:13:46 AM »

Yes DR JANE....condolences to you and the family of your friend.

Well DR FJL....you are correct....according to Fernando, we are ready to open!

Considering the cost of cards, DR JRand, I think the books were a great idea!

A friend here is about to do the same thing, and they asked people specifically to get books that they had loved themselves as a kid, and to say something about that in the inscription. My choices were "The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge" and "Madeleine".

TOD:

I never met a game show I didn't like.....they were everywhere when I was growing up.....in the mornings, afternoons, and prime time.

In the summer, I would watch Concentration and Password during the day. There may have been one or two others.....I seem to remember Dennis James doing some kind of show....or maybe he was on Concentration.

Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune are still going strong.

My favorite Prime Time Game Shows were: Beat the Clock, To Tell the Truth, I've Got a Secret, and What's My Line.

To Tell the Truth had the biggest turnover on the panel, you never knew who you were going to get....my favorites were Kitty Carlisle, Polly Bergen, and Peggy Cass. Tom Poston and Orson Bean were big pills and I hated having to endure their presence among the sparkling ladies.

I've Got a Secret had a more regular panel: Betsy Palmer, Bess Myerson, Henry Morgan, and Bill Cullen - all of whom were terrific! Gary Moore was always smoking.

The kingpin and flagship for me was What's My Line on Sunday night, which we watched after Candid Camera. That panel was top of the line.....Bennett, Dorothy, Arlene, and whoever they could drag in....I liked everyone except Tony Randall who was also a big pill (although not as bad as he was when he did the Hollywood Squares). And John Daly was the perfect moderator.....in a tuxedo.....

My favorite TTTT moment is not on YouTube that I can find. The three contestants all claimed to be a famous hairstylist. Polly Bergen put on her glasses - which always made me laugh. She asked each one of them if he shampooed the hair before he set a pincurl....and the answers were each more incredible than the one before.....she just looked at them making an hilarious face.....

When voting time came, Bud called on her....and she said: "I don't want to vote for any of them, I don't think a one of them ever had his hands in a woman's hair in his life!"

Polly also asked three contestants claiming to be a composer: "What is your ASCAP rating?" Two of them didn't know, and one of them said: "Somewhere between you and Irving Berlin....."

She voted for him, and she was right.

Enough of me....I have another story to tell later in the day.

I feel like I could eat all of that now.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #81 on:** March 30, 2015, 08:29:36 AM »

I'll take those meatballs.

John G. · « **Reply #82 on:** March 30, 2015, 08:33:31 AM »

I'm loving all these gameshow reminiscences. Great fun

JRand, I, too, used to watch game shows all summer long. I hated it when Watergate interrupted my vacation and game show time.

Thank you. I received an email from my friend this morning letting me know when the service will be, and asking me to let the woman in my book group know. What surprises me is I have not heard anything from my hiking group, which is the church they belong to.

I found another drawer to clean-lol. It is the spice drawer and those always seem to need cleaning.

Why are you the most moving person I've ever met?

Why aren't you moving back to your home town?

How long will you be in your next town.
