There's something I don't understand. Okay, if Jayne was genuinely a very high-IQ person, and an accomplished musician, why would she feel compelled to try to be a movie star? A movie star of any sort. Are there other examples of people who were forced by their circumstances to become involved...

Don't think I was buying records yet, but in 1960 this hit song offered some insight about love & destiny...

Aside from the technical matter of how to deal with dust... @Jules, that seems like an odd title for a book. A whole book. There must've been more to the subject matter than what the book's title literally means. What the H was the book actually like?

I've noticed one thing about lefties that does pertain to their minds. I have known a lot of musicians and visual artists through the years, and it seems to me that a higher than average proportion of talented artistic people are left handed.

Interesting you should raise the topic, MarkD. It was just a couple days ago I came across a few cartoons I'd drawn for my daughter when she was four or five. I attached copies of them to an email and sent them to her. I've hardly drawn any cartoons in recent years. These days, I only seem to...

I don't usually need to, but occasionally I do fish the nut cracker out of the drawer for the same purpose. Because we don't keep pliers in the kitchen.

Yes, that is interesting, Rose. Thanks for posting. I once read, in a book about the history of steel, that the earliest known artifacts made of steel (iron alloyed with carbon and other minerals) were fashioned millennia ago in Africa. The steel material was found as natural objects...

Nice.☺️

Yes, there'a lot of pure bunk and valueless opinions/advice on the internet, and one is obliged to sift through and apply due skepticism. But what Sunny posted about here on SF is such an outrageous story that, in its on way, is definitely hard to believe... though I suppose it's genuine. (Comes...

Before the internet taught all of us the lesson... "People say believe half of what you see, son and none of what you hear." Good advice I first got from Marvin Gaye.

Saw the Alice Cooper group at a small open-air festival on the British Columbia coast (I forget exactly what spot). I doubt the attendees amounted to a thousand people. There were tie dye & trinket sellers (etc) around the edges, and there was a big biker presence with their women running food...

Here's the vacation for us fellas. Well, we can dream can't we?
