  1. JFK was when I was in 1st grade. The teacher got a call on the wall phone and stepped outside in the hall for a minute or so. She comes back in crying and tells us the president was shot. The school was grades 1-5 with about 30 people. They had a TV on wheels and set it up in the hall. We watched the coverage and heard Walter Cronkite tell us JFK was dead. We had ro wait for busses to send us home early. Remember watching the funeral. That was Saturday. I think it was Sunday I saw Oswd getting shot o live TV. My dad was standing in front of the TV just repeating Holy Sh*t!!!, just like I did when I saw the second plane hit live on 9/11.
  2. He used to also call John Otto on the overnight show.
  3. Is that Rosie or Keith Olberman? They are both psycho and I can't tell the difference.
  4. It was to drop flowers!😃
  5. The Anchorage "Rent-A-Mob" of about 20-30 people that is greeting Trump's arrival looks to be out of towners. They look to be grannies and are wearing heavier jackets. Real natives of Alaska would be wearing summer clothes. This week it is 50-60 degrees there which is normal summer weather.
  6. Looking just now, the Dow is at an all time high and ny retirement is up ~10% since New Years Day! That's not return projected for the whole year, but actual gain since 1/1/25.
  7. Hope I have room for it with the 23 pills I take a day. The prednisone and the anti rejection meds (8 pills) are the ones I can't miss a dose. Those 23 also include OTC magnesium, vitamin D and aspirin.
  8. I now live about 300 feet from the west end of that property. The other end is the gas station and my cardiologist. The whole length of that property was about a quarter mile long and maybe 200-300 feet deep. It bordered Cayuga Creek.
  9. At the time I am writing this, a year and a half ago, I was on the operating table! Take vitals morning and night still. All fine except weight. Weight is up because of prednisone, which I have to take. Just got cataract surgery 3 and 2 weeks ago and my vision is crystal clear now! See primary doc and cardiologist every 6 months. See nephrologist every two months, get a blood test monthly and my 1 ½ year checkup at the Transplant center is Wednesday. After that if all is well, that one will be yearly.
  10. Saw them in 1978 at the Aud (I was 21). Excellent show. Gene Simmons has never done drugs or drink. Nice Jewish boy. Came here from Isreal with nis mom, Real name is Chaim Witz. Paul Stanley wrote most of their hits. Due to a birth defect, he has a misshapen ear and is practically deaf in it. Ace Frehley was fired for his drinking and drug use, but cleaned himself up. Peter Criss quit or was fired (depending who you ask) from the band. I'm sure they will al show up. No one is that big of an a-hole to turn down an honor like that,
  11. In south Cheektowaga. It was very small with about 3-4 rides. My parents said they used to have bingo games there in the 50s. Now it has a gas station, a dentist office, my cardiologist's office, a credit union, and a funeral home on that property.
  12. Don't remember where I saw it, but it is soon. So mea culpa. At least it's good news instead of a RIP notice. If he keeps dancing every morning as he says he does, he should make it with no problem.
  13. Melania to Hunter: "FAFO"
  14. So those wereJews on paragliders with machine guns on October 7?
  15. Dick Van D y k e, the actor is 100 years old today! Happy birthday!
  16. And I pass you sitting in your Tesla a half mile from your home in the snow waiting for a tow because the cold drained all the juice out of your car.
  17. I'm retired and bought a 2021 Nissan Altima for cash last year. Still got years of $ in my 401 K that I haven't touched yet.
  18. Roundy wants everyone to drive Yugos. The criminals wouldn't even steal those.
  19. When Trump next talks about Schiff for brains (what a fitting nickname), He should play "Drivers Seat " by Sniff 'n the Tears. , but say it was by Schiff and the tears cause he's gonna be having lots of them bow.
  20. I thought it was some click bait , but I saw it on Fox News that it wasaounced by Trump himself that KISS will be one of the Kenedy Center honorees in December!
  21. I get Hulu via the account of a woman I know in the SF area. She has the tier with the ads. UIt thinks that me in Cheektowaga is in the Bay area. About half the ads are for those HIV prep meds.
  22. I missed the bus the first day of kindergraden . My parents didn't get me to the road in time. Dad worked nights and he was still up, so he drove me the couple miles to school. Down on the main street there was an old "amusement park" that had closed maybe 8 or so years earlier and awas overgrown and had the ruins of several rides among the weeds. Those got removed maybe 5 years later, but at the corner to that road and another main road was a 2-3 story "Liberty Park Hotel" that was being torn down that very same day. Maybe had 10-15 rooms. Since then it has had a gas station o it. There is and apartment development with the name Liberty Park Apartments about a quarter mile down the road. People who live there have no idea why it has that name.
  23. Incoming barrage. 17 threads in row around in a hour around Midnight.
  24. That's from his house. He lucked out. The houses on each side were destroyed.
