Just a bit of Hollywood trivia. Hmmm Hollywood Boulevard doesn't look that glamorous though 😮

Hollywood is all smoke and mirrors. Very underwhelming. As for Hollywood Forever Cemetary…it’s in a terrible neighborhood but is a truly beautiful, peaceful place. Not long after she passed, I was living in LA and dating a HUGE Golden Girls fan. So I took him to pay his respects. Before her final tombstone was even in place. She buried very close to Mel Blanc, the voice of Bug Bunny. Thanks for the video, Doug!

Wish I knew why this dude pissed me off so much. But he did. So I reflecting his ALL CAPS energy right back at. And he cowered like the keyboard coward he is. Grrrr…mfers. Thanks for the support! :-)

You have my sympathies...

Once upon a time I worked in public broadcasting. Each (snail) mail delivery, we'd quickly scan correspondence for those those addressed in ALL CAPS, and frequently in colour too (red crayon being a fave tool du jour)...

These letter writers were deemed 'maddies' & were set aside for 'careful treatment'.

We smiled slyly on the inside 😏

For what it's worth, we were making radio programs on latest scientific matters, and it was mid-80s.

So Clint, take heart, 'they've' always been out there! 😱

Blaming others for their own shortcomings 😜

Warm regards, Simon.

Wow. I worked on some PBS productions in the early 90s and heard similar stories from the PR folks. Crayons? Wow…people have more time than sense. I think I’ve written one “letter to the editor,” about 20/20 airing pieces about hatemonger Fred Phelps. They were critical, but I urged them to stop giving his fire and brimstone routine oxygen. And got a short but thoughtful reply back from a producer. They at least seemed to listen.

As for the “maddies,” I welcome them to stfu. And will help them if they can’t figure out how to scroll on. Stupid people. :-p

While older and frailer than I ever hoped to be, I am glad to be here and ready to do my best to return us to a more civilized and loving blended society.

If you have any suggestions, William, for how I can support those efforts, please let me know. And wishing you a healthy and happy 2025…another year to to share your reasonable mind and generous heart with the world. Cheers!

Heyas Clint......well talking about large screen Smart Interner TV's mine is a lot smarter than I am 🥺 but I manage, mostly by luck, to figure it all out. Now YT SFW I can watch ok no problomo it's SS that I can't get my head around on Smart TV and have to rely on tablet/mobile(cell to you 🇺🇸) but I get there and it doesn't spoil the show 😊. Cheers DougT 🇫🇴

Oh, Doug…I’m not buying the “tv is smarter” bs. Not from you, smartie pants. You know—and remember—more stuff than I’ve ever known. As for the Smart TV, if you kindly email me the make and model your TV, I’ll see if I can’t figure out a simple way for you to watch SS on the big guy. Happy to help…you’re awesome. Mr. Horton? Not so much. :-p

Hey Clint, it's not so much the email side on the TV it's SS itself, it just keeps telling me I need a membership (in fact a bit like Mr Hortons problems) so for now I'll just keep plodding along on my tablet/mobile devices. I think I basically screwed up when I was registering on SS. It's not a major inconvenience and I can cope 🥴 Cheers DougT 🇫🇴

I'll email you the info I have for your account. I want you to be able to login and enjoy. I don't see why a Smart TV wouldn't let you do that. Standby. :-)
