Who knew it was a FReeper?BettyBoop knew him from a large number of phone calls. I don't think that they ever met. Naturally she is very upset, and is working at reconciling it in her mind, but is getting argumentative about it, and some are not being nice to her!

I believe out of all of us, I'm am
the most paranoid! LOL! I like to think of it as extremely cautious. Still, I think it would be a bald-faced bummer if we got 18140 some-odd posts and then got pulled!
Doh!

If it is, LCS won't post it...Maybe I am the 'Night Stalker' or Elvis. One lesson of this story, and the South Carolina story, is you must be VERY careful about folks you meet on the internet. CGEB was another example.

Here is a picture of the Pops Symphony I played FotR with last weekend (yours truly indicated by the arrow). The singer sang "In Dreams" with us. Unfortunately, there was no audio recording made, just a video. My mother and father were both in the orchestra as well, Mom on flute and Dad on trumpet.

How fun! - Thanks for posting it! Wish we could hear it!... [sigh]

Well it looks like you have had a better weekend than I have here (see # 18121 above). Can't quite see your instrument, should have gotten a bigger monitor. Congratulations.

But I read the list and, while I can only assume he didn't mean it this way, it read like "This is what is wrong with the movie and you guys are stoopid if you can't see it..." Many people have this reaction to my writing, particularly when their first exposure is to something about which I am passionate. I say what I think, and when I feel strongly about it, I state it strongly. I try very hard not to attack personally those who disagree with me unless I have a specific purpose in doing so (for instance when Clintonists won't admit that Clinton is a liar). A movie is not worth a personal attack. Nothing in my list was intended as an insult against those with different opinions about the movie. I was very disappointed in FOTR. Rather than making vague protests against it, I stated specifically what I didn't like and why. People can agree. They can disagree. They can agree with much of the substance of the points while still disagreeing with my conclusion. It's just a movie. I'm happy to move to other things.
I'm encouraged that a few of you liked my website. I'm going to do a review of a Dean Koontz book within a month or two. I like Dean Koontz. If you want, read one of his books and send me an e-mail telling me all the things that you don't like about it. I know that they've made some of his books into movies. Don't tell me where to find them.

To: Lucius Cornelius Sulla
It's just a movie.The guy posted on number 18149...which tells me he's clueless.
To: 2Jedismom
What are we doing up at this hour! Don't tell me you have to get up at 4 your time to launch your family for the day?
To: Lucius Cornelius Sulla
LOL! No...stomach's upset. Best to get up, take some pepto and let it calm down.
I ate a hotdog at our church's big celebration tonight. I hope it didn't make me sick.
To: Lucius Cornelius Sulla
Well, it's 4:41...I'm going to try to go to bed for a couple more hours at least. Night!
To: 2Jedismom
Why would I flap over someone I don't even know Dunno, just thought you might. :)
To: HairOfTheDog
I did get flapped about the list, Well at least I successfully identified one case of flappiness!
Good Morning, Hair!

To: Corin Stormhands
No, but we do have the same hairdresser... Where did that come from? Trust me...you don't want to go to the barber every week to take a razor to the side of your melon...
To: HairOfTheDog
Aren't you proud of me? I resisted the urge to ping you to PJComix's Shane thread. :)
To: Overtaxed
