You know who you are. The people who pop in look and never say Hi. In other words lurkers. Hello and welcome. Reason I mentioned this is I was looking at the new back end, and again hit the site statistics area. I don’t go there much, because I thought I knew who was visiting. […]

Today was a rather dull day at work. The rain did not help although Wednesday’s are notoriously slow days. I found myself staring out the window of the store at the lamppost across the street at the post office and remembering Gene Kelly dancing and splashing with his umbrella while Singin’ in the Rain. An

In my previous post, I touched on “Where are they now?” when it comes to celebrities. I read an interesting article the other day about the “kid” who played young Forrest in Forrest Gump, one of my favorite movies. Michael Conner Humphreys is now a 23-year-old young man who is currently serving in the army like Forrest
One of my daughters lives in Florida with her husband and kids. This weekend, on Mother’s Day, some wildfires started in their part of the state. By Monday, their town was hit with fires. Sections of I-95 were closed due to heavy smoke. Monday night I was on-line looking for maps of the exact locations
We put in the movie Mrs. Doubtfire for the kids the other day, and I was curious about what happened to the youngest daughter in that movie, Mara Wilson, because I’ve always thought she was so cute. So I looked it up on imdb.com, and discovered that this movie is 15 years old already!!! Which

I can’t imagine what these teens were thinking… Teens often do stupid things, but this one is beyond stupid… I just don’t have much to say about this; I’m dumbfounded. I don’t understand how a person or persons would come up with such an idea – too bad they couldn’t use that “creativity” more productively! https://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2008/0509081corpse1.html And

Ok, I know this is just asking for trouble but something strangely intriguing was brought up in David Letterman’s Monday night Small Town News segment. I have heard some strange town names before but this one takes the cake: Intercourse, Pennsylvania. The weekly publication “Intercourse News” has the subtitle “about families that do things together.”

I’m a glutton for punishment. I watched the second of the “Land of the Lost” shows, “Return to the Land of the Lost”. The same actors, with a different story. It was much better actually. I already knew that the story could not be anything like the book. After the first movie I wasn’t expecting
