  1. Today
  2. And also my Muslim friend, who started a little local charity collecting surplus food from supermarkets and distributing it to people on significantly low incomes in our neighbourhood.
  3. This was less than two months after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting, where 17 people were killed. Anthony Rizzo, then of the Cubs, was a Stoneman Douglas alum. He said it was probably no coincidence the winning team scored 17 runs. Chills.
  4. Fantastic Voyage Raquel Welch Hannie Caulder George
  5. That's about tenth on the list. The Cubs WERE involved, though. (Interestingly, first and second place involve games between the Cubs and the Phillies, each one losing one of the games.) George
  6. I believe it's 16 by the Cubs losing to the Marlins, who scored 17. This was in April of 2018.
  7. Thank you all. You see, unbelievers and Christians have this in common: We all believe that unless people get up and do God's work, God's work will never get done. WHY we believe that is where we disagree.
  8. Yesterday, the Reds gave up eight runs in the top of the eighth inning to the Atlanta Braves but scored eight in the bottom of the inning. The Braves went on to win 12-11 in ten innings. What is the greatest number of runs scored by a losing MLB team (since 1900)? George
  9. Yeah! I saw that. I just remember that Jimmy Kimmel was the sort of co-host with Ben Stein on his show and went on to do "The Man Show". I didn't know Kimmel did the show "WWTBaM". And if I did, I wouldn't watch it.
  10. Yesterday
  11. Actually, no. Kimmel was host of The Man Show, but the show WW was looking for was Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. See above. New one, soon. George
  12. The other show was called "The Man Show" wasn't it, I believe? Am I worthy of the bragging rights, or not?
  13. Sorry about the delay boys. Now the day is gone, and I sit alone and think of you, girl What can I do without you in my life? I guess that our guessing game just had to end that way The hardest one to lose of all the games we played
  14. I agree! A tremendous example of love and caring... thank you Raf.
  15. Two grown steps. Two teen bio. Adopted boy, 7 Adopted girl, 2 Adopted boy, 1. The adopted boys are biological half-brothers.
  16. Last week
  17. Sounds intriguing. Usually people just got shoved out of the door with scarcely time to grab their coffee mug. Were they actually going to give you some paperwork of some description? Or were you waiting for a spouse to actually agree to leave with you?
  18. Again! Congratulations! Raf, how many do you have now? How many of your own natural children, and how many adopted? What huge hearts you and your wife have, to give a wonderfully loving home to kids with such poor starts in life.
  19. I guess this is where I let folks know that earlier this year we adopted two more: a 1-year-old boy and his 7-year-old brother.
  20. Hi Raf, a little late, but thanks for the note! Congratulations on your adopted little girl! Steve
  21. Sounds pretty cool. I have to admit, though, that because of the title, it was a noir detective story. George
  22. Wise guy. Yes, it's The Outer Limits, which, I suppose, roughly translates to Furthest Frontiers. George
  23. Good afternoon, Grease Spotters! I posted this in the Open Forum before discovering you had a special forum for books, etc. I've written and published a book on an experience I had during the Vietnam War, previously to my getting caught up in TWI. I hadn't spoken of it for more than fifty years until my wife finally talked me into giving up the story. There was a podcast made of it in True War Stories: Mission Report, called "The War Bride", and I finally wrote up the story in a book that I called, "The Great Goodbye". The podcasts are now available on all major podcast networks, including Spotify, and the book is available on Amazon, arnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and most online retailers. It should be in retail stores soon based on a project in the works. Attached are the links to this story: Podcasts: https://www.voyagemedia.fm/show/true-war-stories-mission-report-1/show-2/ Behind The Scenes with Lucas Till - The War Bride - True War Stories: Mission Report Star Lucas Till (CBS' MacGyver) reflects on his personal military connections, his passion for stories of heroism, and his ability to do a Boston accent, with Voyage Media's CEO Nat Mundel in a behind-the-scenes discussion about Lucas' performance in True War Stories: Mission Report, in the episode The War Bride.

  24. OK, if not "Furthest Frontiers", how about "THE OUTER LIMITS"?
  25. The original WAS "Win Ben Stein's Money." In Round 2, BS steps in to answer questions. If others get answers correct, their totals go up and his goes down. If he gets them correct, no money changes. Jimmy Kimmel's been the host of "WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE" for a few years now, starting around 2020 0r 2021, with a show that had no studio audience. (With no audience, "ask the audience" became "ask the host". Personally, I would have liked them doing an online poll at the time.) So, perhaps it was too easy, but it was on my mind right now. Your turn again!
  26. Actually, the publicity of this story has been going n since October 2022. I didn't talk about it for more than 50 years. There was a podcast made of it, as well as a YouTube interview, and a Press Release.
