A lot of videos I posted in the past have turned to a black screen. I don't know if it's YouTube, this site, my browser or what.

Thanks for sharing. I have had a lot of window problems lately, it would be great if at least one of them wasn't mine.

To tell the truth, I don't even know which one is Eve Plumb.

“Brady Bunch” star Eve Plumb sold her Malibu beach house for $3.9 million last week - a huge return on the $55,300 she shelled out when she bought the pad in 1969 as an 11-year-old, the L.A. Times reported.


Imagine buying a beach house at 11 years of age on Malibu.

It's more like a Barbie play house. 850 sq ft
is tiny. And it's ugly. They really bought the
land, that's what has value. They'll build a
3500 sq ft house where the current one is.
$55K in 1969 was not out of line for a house
like that.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Some of the pills taken from Prince's estate in Paisley Park after his death were counterfeit drugs that actually contained fentanyl — a synthetic opioid 50 times more powerful than heroin, an official close to the investigation said Sunday.

The official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation, said nearly two dozen pills found in one Aleve bottle were falsely labeled as "Watson 385." According to Drugs.com, that stamp is used to identify pills containing a mix of acetaminophen and hydrocodone, but the official said at least one of the pills tested positive for fentanyl.


Don't know if this is an apt analogy. But if you thought you took 2 Tylenol but took the equivalent of 50, you'd not be doing too well.

(45 regular strength Tylenol has been enough to kill some adults)

Facebook rates your politics!

No surprise that they do, now to have fun with manipulating it?

They've got me down as Very Liberal, which isn't surprising seeing as whenever any Republican ad shows up I mark it as offensive.

Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.

me neither. I never use the "like" button, for one thing, that has to be the lamest thing on the planet. If I like a post, I will compose a comment.
