There are longer versions, but I prefer this short one:

In reality? None In my mind, more than you could count (I'm such a slut in my head).

Having a body that works and doesn't hurt all the time.

My best friend wasn't thrilled. She found it very slow. And she likes Benedict (Arnold) Cummerbund. I don't think I'll watch it.

The voice behind the iconic 1970s rock track “Signs” has died from COVID-19 at the age of 77. Les Emmerson, the lead singer of Five Man Electrical Band, succumbed to the coronavirus in his home city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, last Friday, the CBC reported. The frontman contracted COVID in November. Emmerson — who was doubly vaccinated — had “underlying health issues” that contributed to his vulnerability, his wife, Monik Emmerson, told Rolling Stone. After Emmerson and his Canadian group changed its name from the Staccatos to Five Man Electrical Band, they went international with the hit “Signs” in the early ’70s — only striking gold after the original, B-side recording had cut two guitar solos for it to be more radio-friendly. The song’s inspiration came from Emmerson when he took a trip on iconic Route 66 and felt that the many advertorial billboards plastered along the road were ruining the natural beauty of America’s heartland and southwest. In the years following, Emmerson used the anthem’s popularity to rally social causes for children’s hospitals and climate change. He went on to re-record the tune as “Signs4Change” with newer, more environmentally conscious lyrics, the network reported. https://nypost.com/2021/12/14/les-emmerson-of-five-man-electrical-band-dead-of-covid-at-77/

within days of me posting this, one of his 7 kids died. ☹️

The people in your life are very lucky to have you in theirs.

It's happened again: Fans lose their minds over Nick Cannon’s apparent bulge on TV show https://pagesix.com/2021/12/06/fans-react-to-nick-cannons-apparent-bulge-on-tv-show/?_ga=2.65105646.1981484459.1638720193-1458710319.1623223896

Didn't he have a brother with a weird name? I think it was something like Tyrannosaurus.

Because calling anything "So and So's Something or Other" always sounds pretentious to me and I find the practice annoying. So it's kind of a rebellion on my part, showing that you can call a film anything you want, and it's still the same film. And trust me, it's impossible for me to do anything without being so cute.

Obnoxious musical Bringing 'Mrs. Doubtfire' to Broadway was a huge mistake Why has a movie that was never anything more than a ridiculous vehicle for the late Robin Williams’ comedic talents been dragged onstage almost 30 years later without him? I liked, but didn't love, the movie, which is basically what I felt about Robin Williams. The only time I ever truly loved him was his 2 hour 'INSIDE THE ACTORS STUDIO' which was absolutely hysterical.

It's funny... For some reason, since the latest site update, I can't post to this site with Google Chrome, which is my usual browser. One of the tech guys/administrators explained to me that it's because the site sees my attempts to post as malware, or something like that, and the site's firewall blocks the attempt. So when I want to post, I have to use Firefox. Because of that, I signed out of the site on Chrome so when I do come here with Chrome, it's as a visitor; I can see and access everything, I just can't reply to anything. Obviously, I'm here on Firefox now, and all I see is a notation under the link to the article that I edited the post, so when @jeezifonly asked me about changing the title, I thought I'd only just gone back and bolded the link. I just looked with Chrome and I can see the notation @azdr0710 referred to (between my original post and the post by @tchm). I think it's weird that I can see that as a visitor, but not when I'm signed in, but whatever... So knowing now that I DID edit the title, it was simply changing 'hubby' to 'husband'. It was always Kate Capshaw's... I often use 'hubby' instead of 'husband', but it's rather informal, and I guess I looked at it and decided Ms. Capshaw deserved something classier and less informal. Mystery solved!

I've always wondered if the companies that make athletic cups make an XL version for particularly gifted athletes.

It dawned on me last night that I've probably been affected by supply chain issues in another way. I usually buy cheap, low-end pot. For the last couple of weeks my dealer has told me she just can't find any. I had to buy some of her cheaper high-end yesterday. The cheap stuff is probably being smuggled in in some shipping containers that are on a cargo ship off the coast of somewhere. I know there's a backlog at the port in Bayonne, NJ.

I didn't change it. That was the original title. I considered going with Amy Irving's ex-husband's West Side Story or Jessica Capshaw's step-father's West Side Story but decided to go with the one above instead.

CURE Auto Insurance is based in Princeton, New Jersey, but the company has made clear where its football allegiance lies. CURE’s newest commercial, though, takes its boundary-pushing to a whole new level. The commercial features a familiar No. 9 green football jersey, a row of urinals, and a thinly-veiled allusion to former Eagles quarterback Nick Foles and his particularly popular nickname: Regardless of the size of his schlong, Foles is one of the nicest, most religiously devout and kind players in the entire NFL. Players have come out and said they have never even heard him curse.

Then why wasn't it Milo in this classic scene?

What's the status of everyone's holiday shopping? I've received everything I ordered from Amazon, and am just waiting on an order I placed for something I saw on THE VIEW's View Your Deal segment. It's been slow to ship because it's from a small company that was overwhelmed by the response, but is supposed to go out no later than the 10th, so I should be fine. For those who may want to get me something, send me a private message & I'll give you my email address so you can send me an Amazon egift card (you're welcome). If you want to take me to London next spring to see the virtual ABBA show when it opens, we'll have to do some planning and coordinating, but we've got time for that... the show doesn't open until May. 😇😁😎😎😁😇
