Everyone knows that I am a Liza D fan! This is funny stuff and you can bet that I will pick up both of these books!

Brett was so funny …. and Charles Nelson Reilly was also too much fun.

What about Let’s Make A Deal? I loved that show? I was born on October 31 and so dressing up in costumes was very appealing to me! And I loved it when the contestants would get the mule or the hen house full of chickens. And to this day you will find everything in my handbag except for the kitchen sink! And I thought Monty Hall was a little randy …. I did not really know what randy meant back then but I knew he was “hot to trott” as they say.

Kerminator, I have to tell this story …. Ok, M loves Jeopardy …. watches it every day! One day M found the SNL Jeopardy spoofs on the You Tube … I quickly went to see what he was watching and I was laughing so hard that I could not pull myself away. I did pull myself away and explained to M that he was too little to watch this and it was for grown ups. He understands every word I say by the way. He was a little miffed and felt the only way he could get back at me was by quoting one of Connery’s Jeopardy answers/wager remarks …. M went around for three days sayin’ I heart boobs in his be Connery voice (M does all kinds of impressions and he is pretty dang good it). I had called the womens shelter to find out what gives with the shelter and how it works and what the rules are. This well intentioned woman on the phone at the shelter asked if M and I were in any danger. She went on to ask if she needed to call the police for me. I said no, do not call the police. And then she went on to say that she was obligated by law to call DCFS if she felt M was in danger. I said, call DCFS ? WHY? The woman on the phone said, well if your husband is spitting on you then how do I know he is hurting the child in some way. I told her that I protect M with my life and that Stupidhead only hits me and that M was safe. The woman was not all together convinced and I thought for sure for sure the DCFS was going to show up at my house ….. I waited pensively for three days for the knock on the door from DCFS. During these three days M was going through his Connery phase sayin’ I HEART BOOBS … Oh, great I said to myself …. let the DCFS hear him say that M hearts boobs and I will lose him for sure. This story is funny now, but it was not funny then. The DCFS never did show up and M got over the I heart boobs comments … every once in awhile to get my goat he will say it. He such a clever little man …. he really is very sharp and he loves to drive me crazy with things like SNL’s Jeopardy/Connery comments.

Oven mitts in stead of boxing gloves … funny!

Liz, I can’t help it … I love the way you talk and tell a story. Cher, love her! Madonna, well, you how we all feel about her. Lana, I loved her! And I am classic movie nut … I had no idea about That Terrible Night! Mind blower! And the song, You Don’t Own Me is an excellent song … I found it on Pandora (pandora is an internet music source). Oh, one last thing, when I become a Diva, I think I will be my favorite Diva! ;)

I called TRN and a few of the affiliates that carry his show … I was reserved but I let them how Savage hurt us. My calls fell on deaf years … they have been taking many calls and they know not to say too much the “wackos” on the phone.

Josie, You are funny! And yes, this a great piece …. BRAVA Olga!

Diana, I will pop over and check it out. Thank you! Oh, yeah, don’t worry about off topic …. as you know this is a conversation! No Worries!

Maurine, Yes, “family” is what we make it! Example: OTV We all need to belong to something … a connection …. the sense of being communal. The community is what we/YOU and me make it.

Dear Kerminator, Check this out … lets watch it together …. the very pronounced four quarter beat at the end is almost like opera ….. :)

This is proof that any Tom, Dick AND Harry can post a link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkO87mkgcNo GREAT FUN and GAMES this thread is.

Oh, Liz, Yes, you can do the five finger thing very well I might add! Love, Karin

I love the Japanese version of Iron Chef …. we did our own version here at my house like many family’s did! We don’t get real TV anymore but I sure do/did love watching Iron Chef! GOOD ONE, EB! For the record M won hands down on the Marshmallow Challenge! His recipe was marshmallows and Apple Jacks. ;) When us grown ups ate his concoction we all felt like it was 1974 all over again …. there we were like a bunch of kids on Saturday morning glued to the boob tube watching School House Rock and Conjunction Junction. Oh, you found me out, this is the reason I CRAVE TO BE GRAMMAR GIRL! :)
