    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Way back in 1988 my mum and I discovered Eastenders, they had just started airing the show in Canada. We were watching 1985 episodes as they caught up. I remember "Dot Brown" in the laundromat, wash, dry and fold. Chain smoking like a trooper! Gave up on the show after a while. She had a...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    For the first time ever, the Oscars, beginning to end with the wife and daughter 1. WTF was that? And when I typed Oscars, up top and just now, it autocorrected (should I say, auto- wronged) to Oscar's. NOTHING IN ENGLISH IS MADE PLURAL BY APOSTROPHE S!!!!!!!

    ^^^ The lighted bits at the bottom of the main pod are the glass floors they installed some years back. Two levels, the lower indoor observation deck and the outside deck, were closed as they are renovating both. We made it to the third deck, which also has glass floors. Again, the view was...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

Like the windchill index in the winter, how cold it FEELS vice how cold it actually is, it "values" how HOT it feels to a human...

    I remember as a teen lots of his films coming out, Kiss of the Spider Woman and so on. The weirdest thing I ever saw him in, and a really good practically unknown film generally, as it starred Kevin Kline and, of course, Tracy Ullman, was this gem...
