B Is for ... Best 'Sesame Street' Moments of All Time, Presented by Founder Joan Ganz Cooney (Video)

Joan,

Of all the authors, films, shows and producers in this world, you have touched and left a legacy which has yet to be matched! Thank you for bringing Sesame Street into all our lives.

The milkman cometh back! Do you remember a time when he delivered your milk?

I remember the milk man, Fuller Brush man and the Stanley person. We lived in a post WW2 cluster of 100 homes and one elementary school, which was 10 milesoutside of the closest city.A town which only had a truck stop, grocery store and tavern prior to that time with a dozen homes. It is now considered a suburb.

While my kids were growing up I would tell my ex "the cat’s in the cradle" and walk away, he never got it until the words became his identity. He’lll still be Cat Stevens to me as that part of history!

Music was the great divide between ourselves and our parents. Will technology be the dividing factor with the new generation?

Great post Joan, and so true!

Music was the great divide between ourselves and our parents. Will technology be the dividing factor with the new generation?

I think more so than just technology is the pace of learning of the children now. Kindergarten is now all day, in addition to their regular class they have music, art, computer, Spanish and gym. My mother’s high school education is now the equivalent to a 6th grade education. My grandson will have two years of college credits before he graduates high school through being in the AVID program. The capacity to learn has either increased or the stimulus has increased. Technology is part of the curve, but education in standards and what is available at a younger age creates the difference.

Caption This!

Rain, rain go away - I have to much to do today!

LIZ SMITH FLASH! A Question From National Review

that is funny!

LIZ SMITH FLASH! A Question From National Review

And what is he going to do when his gender as he knows it, is gone when he get’s there? Not sure that would be heaven with 72 virgins and no tool. lol

LIZ SMITH FLASH! A Question From National Review

My beliefs are far from mainstream, although parts of how I was raised still come through with my own interpetation. One phrase used in the bible says "believe in me". To me, the "me" is the fabric of the universe. Religions all over the world took that phrase and teaches the right how in doing so. I believe you will meet your greatest desire of what you were seeking, if to the muslims that is more virgins than they can imagine - so be it! Everyone deserves thier highest fantasy I guess.

David Letterman vs. John Edwards: When someone comes clean about their wrongdoing, are you more willing to forgive them?

I feel if you are part of the equation, you are part of the solution as well. With celebrities the public is part of the equation with reactions influencing the future of the celebrity. If a celebrity faulters in what they are doing and holds themself accountable, what more can really be asked them respecting the mortal they are. Renewed respect speaks volumes opposed to forgivness. Do they really care if they are forgiven or respected in thier craft and as a human being?

Driving skills? Handwriting? What do you find is the strongest indicator of someone's personality?

The fact is, truth of fiction an archetype has been created attached to Oprah. She is yet to publicly dispell this as not being her thoughts, only Harpo’s standard response to comments. What is real, is the damage done. This world seems to follow Oprah like a goddess trying to get her attention, and following her prompts in the process, which I really don’t understand the reasoning behind it. She is power, if she truely stands behind the repeated above statement distributed by the moderator of Harpo on her site, it would not take 15 seconds on her show to acknowledge that fact in defense of servers or service people in this country. As far as I am aware, that has yet to happen. I can only hope that it does.

Dear Margo: When Idiot Strangers Speak

#1 Take some time apart. Let him grieve and recover from his lost love and if the time comes possibly you can both find each other in a fresh beginning. When he reaches that point, he will look for something new whether you are there or not which does not remind him of the time he spent getting over the last love of his life.

#2 I have three children, not one of them resembles the other. Rather than getting upset when they were younger, I would have some fun with the dumb commnents. I knew the truth and they knew the truth, that was all that mattered. I left many idiots dissed in a "here’s your sign" moment with no regrets. I now have seven grandchildren and none of them look alike either, but they have parents who are quick on thier feet with those type of people and at times get even more crude than mom with the comebacks.

Thank you. When she loses a tip, it is usually from the kitchen side, either the food was not done on time or done correctly. Restaurant patrons hold the server accountable for the food also and all aspects of the visit starting with the hostess. When it all comes together from everybody, satisfaction is usually rewarded. A true asset for servers are thier regulars and the repeat business they bring through the door for both her and who she works for. These days the secret shoppers also play a vital role in business, they are hired by the franchise to do thier job and it keeps servers more aware of treating everyone as if they could determine the future of the job.

Dear Margo: This Was, Perhaps, an Ill-Considered Offer

#1 I really feel compassion for this woman. Her love and desire for her husband to be sober, she sounds like she was willing to agree to whatever intent he put behind becoming sober. On the other hand, I think he played upon this knowing in return for living out a fantasy, he could always fall off that wagon later and she could not take this from him afterwards. If he doesn’t stay sober, I would say leave. How much more could she give him in chances and shallow agreements. Many drunks would line up to take a wish being fulfilled and worrying about staying sober later.

#2 My brother-n-law has always had female friends, they are like family in thier home, but are just friends. My sister has never worried they were anymore than friends and they have a strong marraige. Male or female, a wife can sense if the friend is bad news to thier home, family or relationship. Gender alone should not be the dividing point in friendships either way.
