So my "fake phone" plug in to your phone thing arrived from China.

It actually works perfectly. I'm pleasantly surprised.

Also, it doesn't use batteries.

It's dropped to 4.87

Oh the humanity

It's risen to 4.88. I'm not making this up. I guess 5's will pull it back up.

I remember only 3 problems in 10 years.

1 was the crazy driver who demanded I give him exact directions as if that weren't his job, couldn't find the drop off, demanded I get out in some strange, vast parking lot, miles from nowhere, I literally refused, he glanced up and found the location, and then started cursing at me, but that was a couple years ago.

The other 2 were the gate issue.

I'm hoping I get back to at least 4.9. 🤪

I've read the posts, and I'm still having trouble thinking of a "big box store" as a meeting place, but I'm glad it works for you, @wtg

You're welcome

you might like. Watch to the end.

I loved this album when I was about 17- 20 yrs old. My girlfriend and I started listening to it when we were at UF. She also introduced me to Cat Stevens, btw.

So, the title track is the one I went to search for today. I found this link. Very happy to find it.

I think of this album as kind of a renaissance for Paul Simon. What a great career.

I remember it like it was yesterday. My father rushed down the hall saying Carter won. He was crestfallen.

I had a general sense it would have been worse if Ford had won. I kept this to myself as you might imagine.

Who else is on my list?

Rose McGowan. The best. "I was good. I could have been great."

She was great. The best film actress of my generation, with a career headed into the stratosphere.

Then she got blacklisted.

Hence, "Charmed", and the rest is history.

Brooke Shields. Ok. She could barely act her way out of a paper bag.

But look at her, from when she was born until now. What can you say.

Her biography includes the fact she earned a degree in French literature, and the unusual enough fact her father was a penniless aristocrat.

She did a TV show where she presented genealogical research tracing her ancestry to a king of France.

So she goes to Paris and is filmed standing next to her ancestor the King's bust.

As one does.

A "big star" in the culture. Not a "great star" in any sense.

She probably doesn't belong on my list but I'm putting her on it anyway.

I'll try to think of more.

My grandfather (b. 1903) told me about Clara Bow (b. 1905) when asked about female stars.

Times change!

I didn't only get called on the carpet. I got pulled up short. I can't be mad about it. I feel relieved to be honest.

How do we feel about "opening up?

Celebrity X is "opening up"...

Myself-

I think it's worn.

TBH, I think it'll only fair to balance "open up" with"shut up".

"Mr. Darcy", herself, and the actual mansion and estate "Mr. Darcy" owned, its history and present condition, and the way it would have been when she encountered "him" and his property.

AI could have done much better then me, but I recommend this 7 min video without hesitation.

She thinks she's King Charles with his artisanal products.

She thinks she's Martha Stewart.

She thinks she knows how to cook.

She thinks she's a writer?

She could write a real tell-all.

Of course, she won't.

She's a former prostitute, in Epstein files no less.

She's a D-list actress whose claim to fame is her ability to cry one tear on command.

She explained this and demonstrated this on video.

Then she actually did it the Queen's funeral.

Obscene.

To the point, she's a failure in business.

She's keeps trying because the part of her brain that is delusional has no off switch.

@bernard Congratulations!

5 months? Good work!

It took me 2 yrs. Of course in my case as I've said this included the need to dissolve my father's estate.

@realplayer

Congratulations to your daughter and her family!
