Si, e molto bello

John Lennon .... December 8, 1980, a very shocking and sad day.

the memory ... and last interview

RE: Are you happy?

I would be especially happy if I were having prime dinner tonight at Silvestro's Depot Cafe

RE: Sometime Today

Not only do I hope they shut the federal government down (except military, flight controllers, coast guard etc) but I hope they decide to never fund U.S.EPA; passing entire environmental protection responsibility, unfunded to state and local governments. I don't know which is more crippling for this country, the national debt, the ACA or Climate change nonsense.

RE: Sometime Today

Maybe now they'll also release to the public 1,100 CIA records related to the assassination of President Kennedy. There were a lot of Kennedy haters in the CIA when he was assassinated. I'm surprised all of the USA doesn't protest and burn buildings everywhere until these CIA presidential assassination records are released to the public.

We, ok, I guess I shouldn't memorialize someone on CS I miss, no matter whatever reason. Thanks.

RE: Baby Basics :)

Is there an age limit on these babe baby experiences ? ::laugh:

RE: Keep 1 word add 1 word

Very true

The Royalty Craze has begun in the U.S.A.

I can't believe it. "Protesters are plotting a “Royal Shutdown” at the Barclays Center on Monday night while Prince William and Duchess Kate attend their first NBA basketball game.

At 7:30 p.m., the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will watch LeBron James and his Cavaliers take on the hometown Brooklyn Nets — but it could be marred by civil unrest as agitators plan to meet outside the arena an hour before tipoff."

One online comment is particularly worrisome: “It should be interesting to see if NYPD protects the royals as well as they did the Rockefeller tree lighting. #RoyalShutDown,” wrote Kaycee Nightfire.

Excellent! although, president Obama, being related to the royalty, could step in when he leaves office here in a couple of years. Kidding here of course.

34 years ago today, a real nut job shot and killed Lennon outside the Dakota apartment building in New York City.

I just want to add here.... Thank you John Lennon for all your wonderful music. Missing you.

Really? Maybe I should be Friskytoo

RE: frustration

Hi, how are you, otherwise?

RE: Why we are here

Could be. For me, the forums ate just like family because it has generated feelings of fear, obligation, guilt, oppression, depression and rejection.

Shirley Temple could act, sing and dance at the age of five! She was loved. She was bright, bouncy and cheerful. And Caroline Kennedy was exceptional in ?

Well, I'm not crazy about any monarchy ruling their subjects. They do seem to live so much better than the rest. but ... I like William's mission for zero-tolerance of the transportation across borders of illegal wildlife. And Kate

What do I know. If China is The Empire State Realty Trust, they own it.

I must admit I'm a bit of a Anglophile when it comes to Duchess though

Both William and Kate have arrived here with a whirlwind 3-day tour agenda in the states ahead of them. Forget the Duke, but I think that the Duchess is a very striking beautiful woman!
The Empire State Building was lit up in red white and blue in their honor. I'm excited for them but why didn't they bring their little baby?

Thoughts?
