Happy Birthday Bernie!

This coming Saturday night, Nov 22, at 9 PM, there is a tv show you might find interesting. Are you familiar with the show "The ghost inside my child" on the Lifetime Movie Network? It's a weekly show featuring children who are apparently remembering former lives, they know names and places at ridiculously young ages that they really shouldn't even know about... anyway, this Saturday's show will feature a child who believes she lived before as the daughter of F. Scott Fitzgerald. Lifetime Movie Network, 9 PM Saturday

Happy Birthday, Eric

Cartmill, leave it to you... and the worms wouldn't have ya!

Hope I didn't ruffle anyone's feathers with that title... anyway, DiVinyls singer Chrissy Amphlett has died at age 53

Well, James, with the rash of celebrity deaths, I thought the title fit. If you don't like it, that's fine, you're entitled to your opinion. But frankly, this sort of nitpicking is one of the reasons this forum has lost a lot of good people. Way to be judgmental, did it make you feel superior?

Really, Tim? Bernie and I discovered we were both Angel fans years ago, in the "old" forum. Funny how a lot of us like the same sort of music, aside from Eric's.

Annette Funicello has died

Ha ha you're just too clever! Apparently he's either owner or co-owner of the hard rock Casino in Biloxi Mississippi now. Whoever thought back then that he would be a very successful businessman someday? Probably not even him. What a difference a few decades make!

Do you know who this is? guess who

I'm in northeast PA, Luzerne County, and we were affected far less than we expected to be. My city did have some power outages (still does), but our power here at our house never faltered. I did have work cancelled Monday, that wasn't a problem The worst that happened to me personally was that for maybe 8 hours, I lost email access. I never lost internet, just email. Weird. But it wasn't a problem, especially given what some people went thru (and are still going thru). There are some downed trees around town, and the trees left standing don't have leaves on them anymore, they all seem to have landed in my yard As far as I know, there were two deaths in PA as a result of Sandy, an 8 year old boy and a 62 year old man, both killed when trees fell on them. Very sad, but I have to wonder why they were outside in a hurricane to begin with, there were warnings all over the place to stay indoors. I guess it was just their time... Anyhow, all's well here, back at work as usual, and getting a game plan to prepare for the upcoming holidays, the closer they get, the busier work will be for me, so I need a strategy, I do all the cooking and have everyone at my house. Hope everyone else came out of this unscathed.

I would loved to have seen that! I saw video of it flying over Disney World, that was awesome...

age 84

thanks, everyone, I had a fun bday, we stayed overnight at the beautiful Revel Resort in Atlantic City, got in a bit of sun, walked the boardwalk, hit the casinos, and had a fabulous dinner and breakfast the next morning. And Diane, I laughed when I saw the "susceptibility to boredom" thing, because that describes me to a "T", I get bored *so* easily. Thanks again, everyone, next year, God willing, we'll (hubby, son and I) have to do something REALLY special, as next year I'll turn 60... OMG

Have a very happy birthday, Eric!

A little tidbit I found on Facebook

RIP, at least his suffering is over

Yeah, I remember when I first heard it, I thought it was "vegaMAT", and I thought "what the heck is THAT, must be a sandwich from a vending machine"!

No worries, when the sun goes down, he'll be back... RIP, Jonathan

I just found out about this too, what a shame... but what a legacy! He seemed like a really nice man. RIP

It's very sad that this is happening, and I truly do feel for Robin and his family, but he has been "near death" more or less for a few months now. None of us are meant to live forever, and if he were one of my family members, my hope would be that he didn't linger and suffer if recovery isn't in the picture... I see no sense in prolonging someone's life for a few months if those months are going to be filled with powerful drugs, side effects that can be horrendous, being hooked up to a multitude of equipment, either occasionally or full time, not being able to enjoy a meal, not being able to get around on your own, and on and on... this isn't "living", in my opinion. I speak from experience, I've seen more than one family member linger and suffer before they died, and trust me, they do NOT want to live this way. Keeping someone alive isn't always the humane thing to do. I just hope if he will never have any quality of life anymore, that his suffering ends sooner rather than later.
