No. George

Well, now what I wrote above is wrong!! Sartori must have been editing (or adding to) his post as I was replying. Weird! George

I was going to repond to Sartori's comment, but I noticed that the "quote" was actually different from the way it appears in the post. Note what replaces "Intervention" here. I wonder what happened, since there's no mark of editing in Sartori's post? Anyway, sentimentality has nothing to do with it. If you learned true Word, you learned true Word. If you didn't, you didn't. Those who "hold the baby" are in the former category; those who "throw it out" are in the latter. George

Wasn't part of the Y2K insanity that believers were supposed to get rid of their microwaves, because "we really don't know how they work"? I was out by that time, but this bit of "wisdom" was related to me by an "innie" as something that LCM propounded. (And, by the way, the "innie" KNEW it was BS. He told his LC that he would take his chances with his microwave! :D--> ) George

Happy Birthday, Krys! How are you feeling these days? George

Not bad, since I've never seen the movie (though I did see "Scary Movie 3"). Try this: I have a bit of a dirty fork, here." George

It reminds me of "Baby, I'm a-Want You" by Bread. Lavender, if you're lurking, answer in our private thread. George

Lavender has sent me this clue to post: "Lately I'm a-prayin' that you'll always be a-stayin' beside me." She did not give me the answer. George

I PT'ed Lavender. She replied something about being unable to post (though she did reply to the PT)?! Give her a little time, and then maybe we need to move on. George

"The Ring"? George

Do you ever read church signs as you're driving by? Some are pretty bizarre. (There was a thread here a while ago about a sign that implied that Jesus used an AK-47! ) But a lot are cute. Here are a couple: "Lord, help me to be the person my dog thinks I am!" "Looking for a sign from God? This is one!" "How will you spend eternity -- smoking, or non?" How about the rest of you? Got any good ones? George

I don't think he ever visited a location where I was (central Illinois and later Houston). I was a TC, so I'm sure I would have been "invited" to help prepare. Mrs. W. came to Houston a couple of times. She was treated with honor, but I don't think she had such a detailed list of preparations. George

Actually, I think it was TR's later show, "Love, Sidney" that had the horn concerto. George

Well, I only saw Taxi once or twice, so I didn't know the theme, and Sudo's isn't any more familiar to me. If you like french horns, though, you might try to dig up the theme song from the Tony Randall Show. It was a horn concerto, as I recall. George

Yes, Pirate. I would also have accepted Cat Stevens, who had a top-forty release of it in the early 70's. See you in a week. George

Somebody better get this before I go on vacation tomorrow morning! Here's another line: How I wish I had someone to talk to! George

Sorry, Guys (and Gals). Doesn't ring a bell. I'll be on vacation for a week. Try not to miss me TOO much. George

You've got to remember that I constantly listen to the local oldies station! Try this: She had a strange resemblance to a cat name of Frankenstein! George

Indeed! George

To Craig's credit, he SAID to everybody there that he had tried to pray for Ted's heart, but that Ted told him, "It's the knee!" It seemed to me that he made an honest mistake while trying to help someone, and he owned up to it. It WAS pretty funny! George

(((((((Excie))))))) I'm so sorry. You're in my thoughts and prayers. George

As well as R-T-T, does anybody else remember the dog of "Sergeant Preston of the Yukon"? George

"Tears of a Clown" Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. (Pretty sure.) George

I listened to James at a Star Trek Convention years ago (right after "Wrath of Khan"). He was intelligent and charming. He noted tthat he also auditioned as a Frenchman and (I think) an Italian, but it was his "Scotty" that got the part. With the exception of Walter Koenig, none of the original Trek cast were particularly young adn that was forty years ago. Now "Bones" and "Scotty" are gone. Alas. :(--> George
