I worship Cher. I know a guy who choreographed one of her tours and has an 8 by 10 of Cher in his arms as he dipped her towards the floor, on stage, full costumes, Vegas, during an actual performance!
She performed here in Atlanta and they had a reunion backstage, sounds like she's the nicest.
I'm glad because I would be so disappointed if she wasn't, end of fan rant.
Urkelmania huh. Gotta admit I was very busy in the 90's and didn't watch Urkel, or much 📺 at all. I did work in a TV store in 1990 when dvd video players, projection screens and surround sound were the newest thing. We had a dvd of Apocalypse Now we used to demo the system. We'd put the customer in the sweet spot and blast the helicopters scene. I only worked there a couple years, l'm not that good at retail.
We sleep on 20 year old futons. Still as firm and comfortable as when purchased. Yes, that's futons plural, because Mr VW has Periodic Limb Movement Disorder and I get tired of the bed shaking/being randomly hit by a flailing arm in the night.
Iz mah birfday!!! So far we've celebrated by getting *two* day old pastry bags at the local bakery (croissants and muffins for a dollar each!!) and by deciding to have a fire in the wood burning stove today just because. Later I'll assemble the cool Lego succulents set I got from Mr TK as a gift. So far, 44 is pretty rad.
Happy birthday. May your next trip around the sun bless you with love, health, peace, grace, abundance, prosperity, integrity, longevity, laughter, tears, friendship, courage, compassion, creativity, community, and joy. 🌺
I somehow completely missed the Urkel phenomenon. I vaguely remember the character from flipping past him occasionally on the dial. Maybe it wasn’t as big around here?
Or I guess possibly I’m a replicant and those aren’t even my real memories.
Kinda seriously: it’s always seemed a little strange to me how incredibly vague my memories that far back are. I even seem now to have this odd sense of derealisation associated with them. Like that couldn’t possibly have been me or that couldn’t have been real. It seeming somehow now so alien a world.
... in more contemporary things: I know I’m probably preaching to the choir, but it’s often struck me how miserable figures like the orange mistake seem to be. You do see him smile—when his fans are cheering whatever nasty crap he’s found to get them braying again. But I figure that’s probably pretty much it. That and convincing himself the horrors he brings are a somehow deserved revenge, these are the bright spots in his life.
I think often watching démagogues of that line: those who marry for money earn every penny. Same kinda deal I expect. Ride the money, ride the stirred hatred... To what? Power of a kind, but a narrow one that will always end in ulcers and ashes.
I wish him both of the last of course. Power? Please don’t so many be such utter fools again.
New York magazine’s money columnist wrote about being conned out of $50,000 by crooks pretending to be from Amazon and government agencies. We asked the company and agencies for comment.
There are some good points in the NYT article. Here is the columnist's article on what happened. It is pretty scary and kind of painful to read because you know how it is going to turn out.
I never actually saw Urkel before. I mean, I saw pictures of him but I didn't know about the voice. We didn't have him in the cult where I grew up.
A talking Urkel doll! What did it say?
"Did I do that?"
I liked, "Well you can sign it right now and skip all of that!"
Love that pup!
Misty is just the best!

She is a goddess. Your worship is correct.
93 huh. I don't think I even had a TV in 93.

That Cher ad!
Not since the 'Physical' video:

Likey all three.

we sleep in separate rooms due to both of us snoring and me needing a noise machine and being incredibly restless at night
Our futons are in separate rooms. It's wonderful.

Hippy Happy Birthday
as my grandsons say
Happy birthday. May your next trip around the sun bless you with love, health, peace, grace, abundance, prosperity, integrity, longevity, laughter, tears, friendship, courage, compassion, creativity, community, and joy. 🌺
Happy Birthday, TK!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Bday, Tin Kitty and as many more to come as you'd like!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
THANKS! WHY ARE WE SCREAMING?
BECAUSE IT IS YOUR BIRFDAY
Have a great one! 🎂
Happy Birfday🎈🎊🎁!
Yay! Sounds like fun!
A very happy birthday and I hope the present we ordered for you to be delivered in November is what you wanted :)
I thought that Rush Limbaugh passing away on my birthday would be the best gift ever, but four more years of Handsome Joe would beat it!!

we arrived in the US in 1994 with a 1 yr old. TV was for babies only
It's been noted that the only time Trump looks absolutely happy is when he's shitting on someone who can 't fight back.
Darn it! I missed out on BIG SAVINGS at the Ash Wednesday Mattress Liquidation Sale!
"Talk amongst yourselves" 😀 I loved the 'coffee talk' skits so much.♥️
Grace Linn (101 year old banned book club proponent) is angry!
I was cornfuzzled, thinking you meant she was a proponent of banning books. Upon looking up her story, I am pleasantly surprised. Go, Grace!
The title of Ali's club is a bit confusing, sorry to alarm you... ;>)
I saw Urkel in the Hollywood In and Out at the height of Urkelmania, you'd a thought it was the second coming of jebus!

That was intense.
Yes, it was.
$50k cash in a shoebox is a pretty big clue that you are dealing with a scam. SMH.
Also hours in she was exhausted.
In hindsight, yes.
