Oh, dear. Must go revise the notes - don't read yet - it's our damn ANNIVERSARY! Twenty-one years, baby, beginning year twenty-two if I'm doing the math correctly.

Yes.  HHW is beginning its 22nd year.  When one is born, one is zero years old, but one is beginning one's first year.  Ergo, when one reaches one's 21st birthday, one is then beginning one's 22nd year.

Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk. :)

And this is pretty cool (but it has nothing to do with birthdays, or even HHW's anniversary).  A couple of days ago, I drove through KFC and actually paid with cash.  In my change was this 1954 wheat-back penny!

While I was hoping for a Blue sweep, it didn't happen, and I remain saddened that so many fools voted Republican, given all their corruption and ties to treason and sedition. I don't want to live in a country where everyone thinks the same as I, but I would like to think I live in a country where humanity, intelligence, and common sense carry the day.

HA!  Happy Anniversary to HHW and to MR BK!

I came here in 1994 - I was Jrand54 then.  And we were in the message board format, so one could sign one's posts in any way.

We had several "celebrities" posting here - even some dead ones.  It was most amusing.

We also had trivia contests and sparkling prizes.

Jesse now identifies as Priscilla. Is that correct?

The election is not over yet. It will be a tense thing for another few days, I think, till certain key races are decided. Stay positive. As Ron said, the cocky Red Wave people did not get their cockiness fulfilled and that was hugely important.

It is Wednesday, but it feels like Friday for some reason..  It has been a busy and a bit costly week, thus far.

Paid property tax, bought a new battery for my truck. had my heating/hvac unit inspected and got my auto insurance bill for my truck.

Sigh.  And I am still awaiting a bill from the plumber.

Former DR JMK and I met on EBAY where we were generally trying to outbid each other on Frances Farmer items.....we began an email exchange and sending and trading and sharing items back and forth.  He had written a great blog on Frances and exposing the author of a popular biography of the actress as the fraud he is.....

Then he started asking me trivia questions that I would answer as best I could.  I finally asked him where he was getting them - and he pointed me to HHW - which was then in its previous form.

MR BK - I had read his book Benjamin Kritzer just because I saw the cover on Amazon and was intrigued.....had such a terrific writing style and all of the denizens were so bright and funny.....I joined in.

Now that I think about it, this was in 2003....so I may have begun as Jrand53.....

I immediately found out that each of the Kritzerland books had a CD created for it....and so I asked MR BK for the one for Benjamin Kritzer and it was in my hands in a few days.....most enjoyable.

One western state (Montana?) had an amendment on its ballot asking if it should be mandatory for the state to feed babies born alive!!!???!!!???!!!

The vote was an overwhelming NO from 67% of the 400,000-plus who voted.  I find it extremely difficult to accept that this state has two senators!!!!  There are only 1 million citizens in Montana, yet their senators get the same say as states with 45 million citizens.

That was a very scary time, and the Vixter was so young and concerned.

100 votes isn't much.

Congrats to DR JANE on her millstone.
Well....I'm not sure how I will avoid having an egg show up in the cage one day......but I do not think that parakeets breed in captivity so it will probably just be there until I take it away.

This happened with another pair of birds we had decades ago.

The fourth and final season of "Manifest" has dropped ten episodes on Netflix.  Ten more will follow at a later date.

I have watched them all and am absolutely besotted with the story.  It was my favorite network show when NBC unceremoniously dumped it at the end of its third season.   Netflix picked up the series from NBC and it became their highest rated show, so they negotiated a fourth season to wrap up the story line.

Very smart, and I love that I will see it through to a conclusion.

I don't quite buy into how you've determined that Jessie is a Priscilla.  Are you SURE you didn't use a magnifying glass????

I know that BK has indicated that "some" HHWers have passed on.

Would it be possible to name them?

I believe Tom of Oz passed on. I think either der Brucer or S. Woody White passed. And, of course, Susan Gordon.
Title: Re: BREAKING BOMBSHELL NOTES
Post by: bk on November 09, 2022, 08:55:30 PM
Jane hooking me up with Susan Gordon was such a gift. I've never really revealed that soon after connecting we would spend hours on the phone talking. Hours and hours and hours. And then on December 30, we met up in Las Vegas. It was so much fun.

I'm gonna have some McDonald's. I ate the salad at twelve-thirty and had no bread or anything else, so...

I began a free trial for seven days  - Broadway HD. They have a lot of stuff I'm interested in, including that wonderful Matthew Bourne Red Shoes production using the music of Bernard Herrmann.

Vixmom, any updates on how Bill is doing?

He seemed improved tonight.  Of course he is still in a great deal  of pain from the broken femur and the PT is painful.  But he seems to be recovering from the flu.  I was terrified he was going to get pneumonia.

Great news about Bill's improvement!

They were definitely cooked enough for legal purposes, but they just weren't cooked long enough foe taste purposes.
