RE: do you know that pedro chap...?

This is a loony bin. It is Greystone Psychiatric Hospital. It was built in 1876 and torn down recently. Creepiest place I've ever seen. I volunteered one time to serve ice cream and cookies to SOME of the patients. Couldn't wait to get out of there.

RE: Is Bill Cosby guilty ?

He admitted that he gave her drugs to relax her. He admitted that he put his hand down her pants.

How many facts do you need?

RE: The Music Room

Track, did you see the movie Whiplash. If you haven't it's a must see for you. Excellent movie for someone who plays drums.

RE: The Music Room

Thank you for the link. I could hear you but couldn't see you. Someone in the comments of the link said he couldn't see you either.

RE: The Music Room

What is your style of music? Give me a song that we've heard so I can get an idea what you would play.

RE: Naughtiest Things You Did As A Child

My sister and I had a fight. She was about 6 I was 10. We fought all the time, not just word fights. One time she made me so mad I threw a shoe at her.

She ducked and it went broke the glass on the patio storm door. I panicked and was scared to death cause I knew my father would lace into me when he came home from work.

I was always around my father when he fixed things around the house so I knew how to use a yard stick or measuring tape to measure something.

I measured the space for the glass and rode my bicycle to the lumberyard to buy a new piece of glass. I told the man at the desk what happened and he sold me the glass. He knew my father cause the lumberyard was next to the railroad that my father worked for.

So I went home, took the molding off the area carefully, put the glass in and tacked the molding back on the door. And I never told my father.

But guess who did tell him. I didn't know until much later on that my father knew about it and he actually thought it was quite funny. He was even proud that I knew how to measure the window space.

MARATHON

So far, Breaking Bad is the only tv show that was mentioned by two people.

I've never watched the show but I think it was quite violent

MARATHON

Now that's a true marathon

MARATHON

Have you ever watched a marathon of any movie or tv show?

Today I've been watching Downton Abbey that started with season 3. Soon they will be doing season 6 the final season. I've heard so many people say how good the show is and I agree. The show is filmed at the actual castle.

Movies I've marathoned are:

TIN CUP (Kevin Costner) probably watched it a dozen times


INVINCIBLE (Mark Wahlberg) true story of Vince Papale making it to the Eagles football team. Must have watched it 15-20 times.


ALOHA (Bradley Cooper and Emma Thompson) I've watched it more times them I'm willing to admit


So how about you? What movie or tv show have you liked so much that you watch it everytime it's on television?

Natalie Cole Dead At 65

"Natalie Cole has died, her publicist confirmed to ABC News.

The legendary singer was 65 and passed away due last night to complications from ongoing health issues, her rep said.

“It is with heavy hearts that we bring to you all the news of our Mother and sister's passing," her son, Robert Yancy, and sisters Timolin and Casey said in a statement. "Natalie fought a fierce, courageous battle, dying how she lived..with dignity, strength and honor. Our beloved Mother and sister will be greatly missed and remain UNFORGETTABLE in our hearts forever.”

Cole, who had originally been scheduled to perform in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve, withdrew from the performance more than a month beforehand, citing health reasons.

The daughter of Nat King Cole, Natalie Cole was a star in her own right, winning nine Grammy Awards throughout her decades-long career, including Best New Artist of the Year in 1975, the same year she came out with "This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)."

Cole became a star overnight, and in 1979, after she'd released four albums -- two of which went platinum in one year -- she was recognized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

However, her personal life at that time began to unravel. Having married musician Marvin Yancy, the father of her son, in 1976, Cole wrote in her 2000 memoir, "Angel on My Shoulder" that the two were heavily using cocaine before they split in 1980, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Yancy, who had been in recovery, died in 1985 after suffering a stroke.

"I don't know what I was thinking," Cole wrote of the divorce. "I lost sight of how happy I was in the beginning. [The divorce] was the biggest mistake of my life... My career was starting to show signs of wear and tear. And so was I."

Cole went to rehab in 1983 and told the Inquirer that her recovery is a "day-to-day process."

"I've always been an extremist," she said. "Some of us have very addictive personalities, and for some of us, that mechanism gets tripped up. Mine certainly did. I'm not cured. You never are."

The next decade marked a rebirth of Cole's career. In 1991, she released her best-selling album, "Unforgettable... With Love," which featured her take on standards that her father made famous, including a virtual duet of the title track with him. The next year, she was nominated for an Emmy for a televised performance she gave of her father's songs.

"That was really my thank you," she told People magazine in 2006, according to the Associated Press. "I owed that to him."

In 1993, Cole released an jazz album, "Take a Look," and the next year, a holiday album entitled "Holly & Ivy." She would also release albums in 1996, 1999, 2002, and 2006.

She also began appearing on television more frequently, with guest roles on shows including "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "Grey's Anatomy," and "Touched By an Angel."

Then, another setback. In 2008, it was revealed that Cole had hepatitis C, stemming from her years of drug use, that had been dormant for years.

"I had to make peace with my past, because I can't change it," she told People magazine at the time.

The next year, she underwent a kidney transplant. However, she told People that she didn't ever want illness to keep her down.

"I'm committed to working. I'm a fighter, not a chump," she said. "The timing is intense. The album is special to me, and here I am sick. But you know the saying: These are the best of times and the worst of times. So we'll barrel through. If I have to, I'll kick butt sitting down.""

RE: Would Donald Trump make a good President

Perhaps you are correct, I really don't know because I don't follow this kind of thing.

When I responded to Kid about using the word "occupation" I was thinking back to when Germany occupied Poland etc. I'm sure Kid new what I meant and he was very polite in his response to me.

RE: Say Anything

I'm surprised that you've never had a day without electrical power. We get power outages all the time. When there's a heavy ice or snow storm I've had no power. When Superstorm Sandy hit NJ and NY in October a few years ago people didn't have power for weeks and weeks. No refrigeration, no heat, no gasoline, food lines, hospitals had to move people because the generators got water. Not pleasant at all.
