Phil Spector reportedly has throat tumors caused by HPV. But he's been in prison for nearly 20 years. I wonder how that happened? The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | I think What Women Want might be the best rom/com. Saw it for the 3rd time and I always enjoy it. Smart, funny, good story, and it has Sinatra or his music all thru it. Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt have perfect chemistry, I'll watch anything either of them are in. If this movie has flaws, I don't see any. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Throat cancer can be either HPV positive or negative. Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan bank, also had throat cancer and I believe his, as well as Michael Douglass cancer was HPV positive. I'm told of the two, the HPV positive is the easier of the two to cure. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

Queen Anne's war is a little-studied part of American history. The Siege of Port Royal that resulted in the Cajun's of Louisiana is the best known part of the war basically because of Longfellow's poem, Evangeline published over a century after the fact. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Port_Royal_(1710) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Anne%27s_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangeline In some way's Queen Anne's War (which was the American portion of the War of the Spanish Succession) was first world war. Napoleon's war was the second world war, and WWI and WWII are really the third and fourth world wars. |

Nice - a friend of mine (who I've since lost touch with) was her bass player and backup vocalist for years (Wrecking Ball era) |

Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | Queen Anne was married at age 18.5 to a second cousin she had never met. But he remained faithful although they lost 16 children by miscarriage, stillborn, or death in infancy. Her only son who lived to age 11 died when she was age 35.3 At this time her brother in law was still the monarch, but he was also rumored to be gay. With no prospect of children, Parliament wrote an Act that said the next person in the line would be a distant cousin who lived in present-day Germany. At age 37.1 Anne succeeded her brother in law as Queen, and at age 43.7 she was widowed. Anne lived for 5.8 years after she was widowed. Certainly, she was said to be a lesbian during these final years, but stories of homosexuality was a very common rumor regarding British monarchs. |

With the lack of personal hygiene in those days, being a Lesbian couldn't have been much fun. Do a lot of practice holding your breath.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
