Posted to Morgan Donner (RE: Suit from Titanic) uploaded to You Tube 09/30/2022

I had forgotten about that exquisitely tailored suit jacket from Titanic. This reproduction was beautiful! I had no idea that the original pattern (from the Titanic version) was created by paint/ink. To make the bow bigger, maybe sew it on a wider length of translucent (but matte) material like tulle or that stiff ribbon used on bridal gowns (horsehair?) then re-tie for a bigger "pouf"? I could be way off as my sewing is below beginner level.  I love watching experts on You Tube, as they encourage me by example to be more and to do more.

Posted to Observe (RE: Ned Fulmer) uploaded to You Tube 10/01/2022

What I find more interesting is the body language of Keith, Zach and Eugene. Each one seems to show some proprietary knowledge about Ned as a co-worker, a supervisor and the husband of Ariel. Not unusual due to their long-time relationship. However my guess is that none of the 3 would allow themselves to actually know about Ned's life. Fairly (or unfairly) The Try Guys monetized their personal lives, their families and their co-workers. That business model may no longer be as marketable. While I hope to hear from Keith, Zach and Eugene on their channel,  I think that Ned needs to take an extended break from social media and not jump onto any apology tour as certain individuals have done in the past. I hope Ariel and her children can move on to more stability with family members and close friends.

I have no way of knowing for sure, but after seeing an interview with Hans Niemann (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCeJrItfQqw) he could be "on the spectrum". My experience with high functioning autism is from daily life interactions, not a degree. This condition could explain his concentration style which I am assuming is not anomalous to previous match behavior. Hans Niemann also has quite the ego, which might preclude him from cheating to win.

Posted to Abby Cox  (RE: Halloween Crafting) uploaded to You Tube 10/02/2022

I like creating Halloween artifacts with deviations such as skipping a step that says: "smooth down surface" or "wait 20 minutes before applying the next layer". The surprise (as when I reread/view the instructions) can result in a quite scary, unique piece of Halloween decor. My advice, follow your own muse as long as you wear protective eyewear, gloves and do the work in well-ventilated area. Also I find my animal roomies do not try "to assist" with my work, if I resemble Dr. Frankenstein and smell like adhesive.

Posted to The Try Guys (RE: Ned Fulmer) uploaded to You Tube 10/03/2022

I appreciate this "preliminary" statement. I feel that the pain I observed in Eugene, Zach and Keith is real. Perhaps it is on me, as one should not raise any human onto as lofty a pedestal as I did in the past regarding 4 individuals that I did not personally know. I do not know if I can still laugh with or enjoy the zaniness of a typical Try Guys video. However I will stay subscribed to this channel. I hope for an evolution that makes sense to the 3 Try Guys, their employees and the fans.

Posted to Dr. Todd Grande (RE: Trevor Noah leaving The Daily Show) uploaded 10/03/2022 

I agree with Dr. Grande that Trevor Noah was miscast as the face and the voice of The Daily Show. I have never watched The Daily Show since Trevor Noah became host. However, I have watched and enjoyed the short segments and interviews on You Tube. I have never seen him "live", just watched his stand-ups via streaming. Rather than analyze a comedian whose humor may not ever rise to the level of a Jon Stewart, instead what might prove intriguing, would be if we could analyze the psychology and the motives of the producers (at the time of his hire and contract renewal) of The Daily Show. There must have been more motivation than simply Mr. Noah, "is a comedian who was relatively unknown in the U.S."

Posted to Spill Sesh (RE: Ned Fulmer) uploaded to You Tube 09/29/2022

I came here, not for "tea", but hoping to try to understand why these two people would basically destroy their careers, destroy their relationships and potentially destroy the livelihood of friends, relatives and employees. I mean The Try Guys just filmed a series for The Food Channel right, not to mention that (in retrospect) horribly titled cookbook. WHY...did two adults seemingly implode and/or de-evolve into adolescents? No disrespect intended for chronological (actual teens) adolescents, as self-centered behavior is part of the maturation process. I still have no clue.

Posted to Spill Sesh (RE: Ned Fulmer) uploaded to You Tube 10/03/2022

I see sadness, disbelief and even some anger on their faces. Eugene, Zach and Keith deserve to rise above and beyond this unbelievable betrayal to the families, friends and employees of The Try Guys. As a fan from the late BuzzFeed days, I am shocked and saddened, but as a fan I am also way way down on that list. Their mission statement was fun, family and friends. It all seems so shattered now.

Posted to BreakfastAllDay (RE: spoiler review for Don't Worry Darling) You Tube 10/03/2022

I know there is more drama behind this movie than in it, but in terms of the movie making I thought that Olivia Wilde was more astute a director. Well the movie looks good, so there's that. Interesting rabbit hole I went down regarding the writers. The story was written by siblings Shane and Carey Van Dyke (sons of Jerry, grandsons of Dick). Only one screenwriter was listed, Katie Silberman who wrote Booksmart. Usually I blame the director and/or a multitude of writers. In this case the more confounding mystery isn't the built in "twist", to me it is what went wrong? My uneducated and uninformed opinion is that Olivia Wilde hoped Shia LaBeouf would bring in more dollars, hence the appearance of Harry Styles as a last minute replacement. There was probably no one else with build-in fan base that was available.

Posted to Dr. Todd Grande (RE: Ned Fulmer) uploaded to You Tube 10/05/2022

Dr. Grande's idea of making the upcoming chapter of The Try Guys, an examination of their company's mission statement going forward seems like it would be both profitable and a way to grow their brand. The fascinating part of this mess is why...? Ned Fulmer lost friends, his company, may have cost his employees' their jobs and probably irreparably damaged his relationship with his wife and children. Alexandria Herring has also lost friends, her job (Try Guys/Food Babies) and probably her fiancé. Again, why didn't these two simply cut ties with the company and significant others months ago?  The selfishness, stupidity and narcissism is confounding.

Posted to antphrodite (RE: Try wives try Tarot) uploaded to You Tube 10/05/2022

I feel badly, I laughed a lot during this video. I am not laughing at Tarot, just at the many times a card was misread. I would give these 3 women a pass, if the liquid in those glasses contained any amount of alcohol. One thing that was very interesting, was the HUGE amount of deflection by Ariel (current, but maybe not future spouse of the very problematic former Try Guy, Ned Fulmer). Maggie is a nurse so her reading was really spot on. Becky's was not bad either. I would love to see a new reading regarding the future of The Try Guys as a company and as individuals.

Posted to John Campea (RE: Rust movie to resume filming) uploaded to You Tube 10/05/2022

I feel odd and uncomfortable with resumption of Rust filming. As it appears to be fine with Matthew Hutchins, my inner thoughts are irrelevant. However, the death of Halyna Hutchins was 100% avoidable. Resuming production without finding out the why, who, when, where, of this tragedy, seems premature at best. Matthew Hutchins becoming the executive producer seems even weirder yet as it was the cost cutting by the producers/film company that probably had an effect on props/armorer not prioritizing safety. Will I see Rust when it is completed? No, for a simple reason, I do not like traditional westerns.

Posted to Gold Shaw Farm (RE: Kurt Cowbain) uploaded to You Tube 10/06/2022

I understand the whole system, but hand feeding Kurt the hay cube with him taking it so gently did provoke a sad "aww" from me. I do appreciate the kindness and respect shown to all animals on this farm regardless of their fate. I am not a farmer. I do not consume red meat. I do eat fish and poultry, thus feel a bit conflicted about the whole process. Just to show how clueless I am, I went to feed the fish in my aquarium as I was finishing my salad...my salmon salad. Don't think that the tropical fish noticed.😉 BTW great editing, soundtrack on this video. Perfect example of how a video can transform from "Hi there from You Tube", to a dramatic presentation of life and fate on a farm!

Posted to Try Guys (RE: News) uploaded to You Tube 10/06/2022

While I thoroughly enjoyed the off the wall wacky of past videos, I think that the idea of The Try Guys incorporating their work-related passions is a relevant and relatable way to grow this channel. Maybe even Seth Rogan, will get to know who The Try Guys really are. PLEASE do not rename yourselves. First many (including myself) use "Guys" as non-binary noun. Second, renaming yourselves something like: The Try Guys' Dreams or The Dreamers Who Try will make fans a little queasy.😉 

Love you Guys. ❤️

Posted to Emily D. Baker (RE: Settlement in Baldwin/Rust civil suit) uploaded to You Tube 10/05/2022

I am glad that Matthew Hutchins is satisfied with the outcome of the lawsuit. I am somewhat surprised he wishes to EP Rust, even with the stated goal of finishing his late wife's work. She died to due a production company that wanted real weapons on set but did not provide enough trained personnel to ensure safety on set. Her death was 100% preventable. Would I see this film, no. The (Occam's razor) answer is, I do not like traditional westerns.

Posted to Pretty Pastel Please-Side Quest (RE: daily vlog#22 ) You Tube 10/07/2022
I think that it was the shock of that incident that happened on the nest-material shopping day. I had a recent shock, that I am not ready to discuss, but it left me shaking, sad and depressed. We are all glasses with different capacities. Mine and perhaps Alex's are filled almost to the top with stress solution. So when a significant stressor happens, we exceed the level that we can contain. I am still quite sad, going through the motions, but all I can say is that what is now, is not forever. Just consider this time as a short respite but NOT a failure.

Posted to antphrodite (RE: Jack The Ripper) uploaded to You Tube 10/07/2022
VERY interesting reading by antphrodite. I love these historical/crime readings. I am borrowing ant's mantra/disclosure: "Allegedly for entertainment purposes only".  There were rumors that a relative of the royal family of England back then was unwell, REALLY unwell mentally. This would have been during the reign of Queen Victoria who had a reputation for her strict moral code, sharp tongue and being somewhat controlling of her children/relatives (even the distant or estranged ones). This does not mean that she is responsible for anything, only that "Jack" may have felt the need to please her. If a relative or perhaps the son of a trusted Royal staffer, this person had an excellent education (maybe even medically trained). Interestingly when Jack The Ripper killings stopped in 1891, a man named H. H. Holmes (Devil in The White City by Erik Larson) began killing in Chicago (or maybe Philadelphia?) in approximately the same year. Probably coincidence, maybe a copycat. However a Royal or trusted friend of a Royal especially back then could probably be sent out of the country covertly without a whisper from the press (print media). 
Posted to Dr. Todd Grande (RE:Kevin Keith conviction) uploaded to You Tube 10/09/2022I do not know anything about this case. As recounted in this video, evidence and the witnesses' IDs seems to indicate Kevin Keith's involvement. I would be more swayed if The Innocence Project was the advocate for this individual. One can only hope that the police did a thorough investigation of the scene and other possible suspects. Sounds like the prosecution team and their experts might have been less than stellar in their performance. Unfortunately inefficient and/or incompetent investigations and prosecutions can go two ways: (1) imprisoning the innocent or (2) "accidentally" imprisoning the guilty.  Either way there will be problems. As for KK's role in all of this I agree with Dr. Grande, that both she and that shirt are quite obvious.

Posted to Dr. Todd Grande (RE: James Krauseneck Case) uploaded to You Tube 10/08/2022
The arranged tea set, seems to be odd unless it was set up by Sarah. Was it all dusted for prints and checked for DNA? The neighbor indicating that "...I think, a murder." also seems odd. I am assuming that there is police audio confirming that neighbor's statement? Was that neighbor questioned further by the police?  The murder does feel personal, as if it was incited by a feeling of animosity, not due to a random break-in. The psychic reference was amusing. I think that their information is best treated as feelings and/or amateur profiling which might offer additional theories. Such advice should not be used like cheat codes in video games. Always consider your source.

Posted to A Charming Abode (RE: Lewy Body/Dementia Update) uploaded to You Tube 10/09/2022
To be honest, I would need cue cards in order to make that bread intro. I imagine the fatigue and the concentration ability is what is causing the need for editing. I think the scheduled/periodic health and life updates are sufficient. Probably this has been mentioned before, but I hope the doctors are monitoring REM (I think that Fitbit can be used, not sure about iWatch). As a deficiency can cause issues in anyone no matter the specific diagnosis. Seems like many You Tubers edit their contact leaving gaffes out completely or add in as a few quick joke ones as an outro. Either way overly negative comments are from 'bots or individuals who just type without proofing or re-reading. Love this channel, if I even add one small piece of decor to my home, I wonder what the discussion would be on this channel. Full disclosure, from my MAC I can see: 2 Grogu's, 1 porg, a mini sonic screwdriver and 2 Sally's (from The Nightmare Before Christmas). Not exactly what this channel recommends, but I add each piece with thought, decorum, taste (my) and affection. 😉

Posted to Channel Awesome (RE: Twilight Zone [classic] - The Passersby) You Tube 10/08/2022
This made me cry when I saw it as a child. I was an odd child (actually am still odd as an adult). I watched old black & white movies and series like Twilight Zone and Outer limits instead of morning cartoons. I have since matured to find Bugs Bunny and Wiley Coyote erudite (at least Bugs) and amusing. In this particular episode of the Twilight Zone, I agree even with that famous last casualty, this episode worked. The acting kept it surprisingly relatable. I can only imagine what the studio producers thought. Perhaps back then, they had better taste and more imagination?

Posted to Spill Sesh (RE: Try Guys)    - uploaded to You Tube on 10/11/2022
I had not heard about this. As the internet has helpfully pointed out, this skit could have been much funnier. On Twitter, Seth Rogan was immensely more humorous by simply tweeting, "What's a Try Guy". Knowing that Fulmer has a college friend on the writing staff at SNL does seem to be an odd coincidence. Rather than even thinking about yet another example of misuse of power, I will instead take away from this lazy, clumsy and (worst) unfunny skit is that SNL needs to upgrade their writing and perhaps their staff.

Posted to Dr. Todd Grande (RE: shooting of Eric Cantu) uploaded to You Tube on 10/12/2022

Impressive list of mistakes: (1) why was a "rookie" alone on a call (2) isn't identifying oneself as a police officer something that is taught at the academy Day1 Hour1 (3) not calling for backup as this (now former) officer was already on another call (4) not running the plates/car/suspect description through department's computer before approaching the car and the obvious one (5) firing a weapon in a non-life or death situation thus endangering the passenger and any passersby. There are laws in certain (U. S.) states called "qualified immunity" which would prohibit a civil suit against the police department. As of this post, Eric Cantu is on life support. No matter whose car that was, Eric Cantu deserved better than this treatment.

Posted to Dr. Todd Grande (RE: Kanye West) uploaded to You Tube on 10/12/2022

I did not know about that "connection" between Jared Kushner and "Ye" (aka Kanye West). I admit to laughing upon learning that information, it is just such an absurd coincidence. I understand that there are mental disorders at play. I wish that social and news media would ignore him. I am not saying cancel him, just forget about him. Clicks, downloads and videos are feeding the illness and not helping the individual.

 Posted to Breakfast All Day (RE: review of Werewolf By Night) uploaded to You Tube on 10/10/2022

This was a fun movie. I laughed more during this film than a movie categorized as a comedy. The internet is not sure exactly who said this (maybe Edmund Gwenn?) but I agree, “Dying is easy, comedy is hard”. I think that the retro werewolf look was in keeping with the general theme. I sort of knew where we were going, but I had such a good trip that I did not mind. Like Alonso, I wish Marvel would do more of these self-contained, relatively short movies. While I like a good theme and extensive canon carried throughout a series or movies, sometimes keeping up does feel like heavy lifting rather than entertainment.

Posted to Micarah Tewers (RE: Making 2 Renaissances costumes in approx. one day) 10/12/2022

I also take about 18 hours to get my Renaissance costume together. That time is mostly spent trying on various combinations of thrifted items to come up with the closest Renaissance look I can manage with minimal sewing. Unfortunately the number of combinations is only slightly less than the value of pi to at least 5 digits. Fun fact pi is irrational and I am also.🙄

Posted to Philip DeFranco (RE: Headline News October 13 2022) uploaded to You Tube on 10/13/2022

Watching the older clips of Alex Jones almost made me vomit, but we have to keep showing them to counteract Jones trying to re-write history. Hard to believe that at least for a while Kazuo Takahashi and Alex Jones shared the same planet. Kazuo Takahashi died trying to save people, while Alex Jones is alive trying to make money from death.

Posted to The Behavior Panel (RE: Angela Simpson)uploaded to You Tube on 10/13/2022

I wonder if there is video and/or audio of her with family and acquaintances (of the non-prisoner variety). Scott mentions this bravado, quiet controlled tone and seemingly amenable behavior (I should have gotten the death penalty) may be "for show". A comparison of behaviors would be interesting. She is chilling in the mimicry of human behavior. I mean the "oops" was something beyond weird. Kind of if the bear that is mauling its prey stops for an instant to say, "sorry" and then continues the behavior. I am going to have to watch a quite a few puppy and kitten videos before I go to sleep tonight.

Posted to Hoeg Law (RE: Amouranth and spousal abuse) uploaded to You Tube 10/17/2022

Due to recent events, a certain well-documented defamation case and a certain influencer with a problematic ex-spouse with whom she shares 4 children, I have had it with famous people marrying badly. Obviously abuse of any long time or marital partner is both illegal and immoral, but it just would be nice if this could be settled without social and news media posts.

Posted to BreakfastAllDay (RE: Movie News) Uploaded to You Tube 10/15/2022

 What's your favorite Angela Lansbury performance? Let us know below ⬇⬇⬇

Gaslight (1944) is my favorite. She played condescending, naive and scary so well in that role as Ingrid Bergman's maid. I always thought that her performance as the long suffering yet loyal mistress/wife in Long Hot Summer (1958) was undervalued. Strictly speaking sentimentally, her singing in Beauty and The Beast (1991) will always be the role that makes me somewhat "misty".

Posted to Hoeg Law (RE: Meek raid) uploaded to You Tube 10/20/2022

I had not heard of James Gordon Meek, either as a (former) producer or writer and an FBI raid. The date on the Rolling Stone article is October 18 2022, not sure when the journalist did the interviews. However in the quote @44:20, from Mr. Meek's attorney,  Eugene Gorokhov, "Mr. Meek IS (caps are mine) unaware of what allegations anonymous sources are making...." The attorney is using the present tense of the verb to be indicating either (1) reporter misheard (2) attorney misspoke or (3) Mr.Gorokhov knows where Mr. Meek is currently residing.  As for the "raid" itself even though it was done at 5am the amount and type of vehicles used almost indicates a "show", as in "we have him" done for someone's benefit. Also interesting is only one news organization seems to have data on this with access to several people in Mr. Meek's orbit who do not mind being named in a news outlet that is well known and widely read.  To be honest, this all sounds like a Tom Cruise movie, not the first time he would be playing someone way taller than Tom Cruise (aka Jack Reacher).

Posted to Spill Sesh (RE: Influencer Joke) Uploaded to You Tube 10/20/2022

I cannot think of any credit cards that would accept such a charge without calling, texting and emailing you to verify that charge. Those kind of "yes you can charge that 6-figure item" cards are usually reserved for Elon Musk/Jeff Bezos types. I have never heard of this influencer, but I would have assumed this was a "joke". She is a good actress, but her (crying) face is not blotchy, I see no tears and her eyes do not look swollen/red. The problem is there may actually be young influencers out there crying about something real.  I think this influencer went a little too far, with the fake tears and the panic theatrics.

Posted to Dr. Todd Grande (RE: Meghan Markle and Harry Windsor) uploaded to You Tube 10/20/2022

I did not read the Variety interview. Basically Meghan always wanted to act. Not sure how that went as I never saw anything that she was in. Actors can have narcissistic tendencies in varying degrees, which in small amounts can be a career asset. Harry was trained to be a prince. Once his older brother William had children, Harry no longer had a backup job. Of course when Harry left the U.K., he left that prince position. Harry and Meghan's skill set is basically their appearance. Their current career paths are limited due to their ages, notoriety, education and talents. As of this moment, I do not see either of them being a danger or a significant benefit to society. Hopefully realizing the inevitable, they will try to grow in knowledge and experience.

Posted to Observe (RE: Lionel Dahmer father of Jeffrey, interview with Oprah Winfrey) 10/20/2022

During this interview, Lionel Dahmer speaks quite abstractly about Jeffrey Dahmer. Perhaps this is indicative of Lionel Dahmer as a less than affectionate or caring parent. In some situations that outlook might be a defense mechanism used to cope with the horror that a son had become. I agree with the conclusions regarding the Oprah interview. In this case, it appears that none of the adults in Jeffrey Dahmer's life paid very much attention to him. Jeffrey Dahmer was born in 1960. I am guessing that year probably contained quite a number of distant first time fathers and first time mothers with illnesses, yet there was not a massive influx of serial killers in that cohort. Jeffrey Dahmer needed a link to his humanity. It did not have to be a parent, just a constant in his life. No one noticed. Years later,17 young men and boys died (ironically) also not being noticed, but in this case it was by law enforcement.

Posted to Spill Sesh (RE: Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis) uploaded to You Tube 10/21/2022

Were I their consultants, I would tell Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis stay off social media except for PR on their projects. I would tell the nanny to consult a lawyer/solicitor and deposit all receipts from any convos with her employers with said professional then most importantly check her contract for any NDAs. In the future NEVER EVER have personal conversations with employers concerning their issues.  I know nannies can exist in a very difficult, delicate situation, but think about it this way; you are a legal assistant and your boss/company partner starts complaining about their wife/SO/or even their mother? Answer...you run, do not walk to the nearest exit and begin freshening up your resume (get those reference letters early on).

Posted to antphrodite (RE: 1994 Alien Aircraft sighting at Lake Michigan) You Tube 10/21/2022

VERY intriguing reading. With all the negativity on social media and political divisiveness on this planet, we are going to need more of an activist handle on that whole peace and love message thing. Probably the love message seen in the cards is more like the quote “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Lev. 19:18) than all us signing up to an online dating site. I nominate Vladimir Putin for some sort of action as he appears to not really care for his neighbors.

Posted to Spill Sesh (RE: Ned Fullmer) You Tube 10/22/2022

The internet can be so smart sometimes, it is both amazing and frightening. I was appalled at the original news, not just because he cheated on his wife, but because he put the livelihoods of friends and employees at risk. Risk may be the answer, that may be the "drug" that seems to have driven (no car pun intended) him to behave this way. I hope that he invested his Try Guys money wisely because unless that writer friend on SNL hires him, no company with a decent HR and/or Legal department would touch him with a ten-foot tesla (that joke was intended).

Posted to Pretty Pastel Side Quest (RE: Trip to Tasmania with Grace) uploaded to You Tube 10/22/2022

I love that expression  "walk of shame" when you are the last ones boarding, I think it suits that occasion more than the one in songs. I had that experience running for and breathlessly boarding a train. Whether imaginary or actual, you do feel animosity filling the breathable air.  All that changing in slightly inconvenient semi public places, reminds me of visits to RenFaires! So I can accurately report, "been there done that". That last thrifted outfit along with the boots was my fav of this episode.

Posted to Jessica Kellgren-Fozard (RE: no being perfect) uploaded to You Tube 10/22/2022

It is good to send us a reality check. It is ironically, quite a "healthy" thing to do. I have sadly watched many talented influencers on You Tube burning out due to trying to duplicate that P.L. Travers' quote used to describe Mary Poppins as being, "Practically perfect in every way.”

Posted to Dr. Todd Grande (RE: Darrel Brooks trial) uploaded to You Tube 10/23/2022

Judging by the priors of Darrell Brooks, he has basically been homeschooled in how to be a criminal. His most recent class in how to be a criminal was learning about the Sovereign Citizen defense. With the murder of 6 and the physical assault on 60+, he has "graduated". Brooks (or whatever he is calling himself) should never be allowed to leave a highly secure facility (whether penal or psychiatric) for the remainder of his life.

Posted to Uncivil Law (RE: Title IX Lawsuit) uploaded to You Tube 10/15/2022

QUESTION: Regarding transgender athletes, not sure if this amendment to Title IX would be legal or even possible but would not a definitive range of acceptable levels of bone density and muscle development of girls (cis) women (cis) athletes vs. transgender girls or women athlete solve these issues regarding womens' sports?  This range could be re-evaluated periodically. I am not going into the issue of anatomy, just athletic performance. I agree that a transgender woman who spent the first 18 or so years of her life as a male should be evaluated as to bone density and muscle development as that transgender woman could have a decided advantage (even though she may be taking estrogen supplements) over her cis female athletes counterparts. I will leave the actual anatomy issue to others to debate.

Posted to John Campea (RE: Kanye West saying Django idea stolen from him) You Tube 10/25/2022

Well, sadly there could be some truth here. However considering Kanye West's last few years of behavior and admitted mental issues his credibility is not exactly at full glass level. While Kanye West's name and projects may have some profitability, his volatility negates any potential benefits for investors, producers, agents and even business partners.

Posted to Gold Shaw Farm (RE: Water and Wild Animals) uploaded to You Tube 10/24/2022

That was an amazing assortment of wild animals seen on camera. I know they go by scent, but I have visions of some wildlife group mind (too many superhero movies on my part) issuing one directive: food...here. I have some emotions about bringing Kurt's skull back to the farm, but that is definitely a "me issue". I eat fish and poultry. I know that animals on this farm are being treated humanely, but actually accepting the circle of life is still an on-going process for me.  I thank Gold Shaw Farm for being part of that process. Keep naming those animals, they do deserve that recognition.

Posted to Gold Shaw Farm (RE: Homestead Video followup) uploaded to You Tube 1026/2022

Religion has given us ethics, civilization, rules of law, amazing stories and some impressive poetry. It has also been distorted and weaponized by some.  I enjoy hearing opinions different from my own. This channel has altered the way I feel towards the inevitability of certain aspects of farming. Love the content on this channel. Keep it mixed with night footage, panoramic videos and animal behavior along with the less warm and fuzzy insertions of reality. Beside keeping this channel entertaining for more viewers, detractors will have to also comb through the entire canon for their clips!  😉

Very good reading, as now I feel a little sorry for Kylie Jenner. I get it rich and famous can be depressed too, however they do have better medical insurance so....

Interestingly enough Travis Scott recently (reported less than one week ago as of this post) settled those lawsuits regarding the AstroWorld tragedy where people were trampled, resulting in deaths and injuries from the melee. Apologies if this link is behind a paywall  --  https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-63335820   I am guessing the problem with this mystery woman occurring now is just a coincidence?

Posted to Philip DeFranco (RE: Daily News - Woman feeding homeless) You Tube 1026/2022

Arresting someone who wishes to help some homeless people eat some food should not be the primary directive of local police. It is a waste of tax dollars (which would obviously be better spent elsewhere). Why cannot they direct her to a suitable location, if the park is off-limits? Homelessness represents a wide group problems ranging from simply not being able to afford housing to people in desperate need of medical and social services. It would be a long process to address problems on a one by one basis, probably expensive too. However it would not take a mathematician or a statistician to come to the conclusion that both factors, that population and that cost, will rise exponentially in the years to come.

Posted to Philip DeFranco (RE: Daily News) uploaded to You Tube 10/27/2022

I am with Philip DeFranco, I am worn out by crazy. The lady who says she is a very famous prophet or a deity (depending on your views) just wants clicks, money, fame. Taylor Swift is an artist who writes about her life, I am sure she never intended harm. Her song is still art with or without one word. Elon Musk is well, the sink says it all, the richest performance artist in the world. I am not on Twitter but hope that "he who shall not be named" stays off, selfishly for the sake of my BP.

Posted to Good Lawgic (RE: w/V-Radio and news) uploaded to You Tube 10/28/2022

Nuance, thoughtful decisions, intelligent debate and openness to new situations appear to be in rare supply these days. As for the U. S. government, those qualities probably reside in the endangered species category. I do not agree with everything said on this video, but I will listen and will think about what was said. As for You Tube, I believe that when all is said and done, money is the answer. As in, will advertisers balk at posting commercials on You Tube or will viewership/clicks be lost thus losing ad venue for You Tube. Scorched earth policy will stop the invader, but what will be left for the inhabitants?

Rather waste resources by watching her, arresting her, doing all the paperwork, finally releasing her. What about an alternative?

Allow her to continue as long as there is no litter or violence issues. Position qualified volunteer professionals to eat with and to converse with these people seeing what services could help them. Doing this might make it easier to contact and to assist these population. Homelessness will not spontaneously disappear, why not use this lady, instead of abusing her.

Posted to Architectural Digest (RE: 5 Haunted Locations) uploaded to You Tube 10/19/2022

This was fascinating. I never noticed that The Overlook Hotel from "The Shining" (aka Timberline Lodge) architecturally reflected the general shape of the mountainous landscape behind the hotel. My favorite was the "after" version of the house in Beetlejuice. The revised structure made no sense, was funny, derivative, pretentious, scary, and odd which perfectly symbolized that entities (living and dead) who resided inside.

That is one beautiful dress. May I make one suggestion? I will imagine acquiescence. Dye the undergarments a wood-type color painted with bark/stem markings. I agree, you cannot go wrong adding more autumnal leaves (just ask my front yard) to the skirt. Enjoy your at home respite. Halloween (and autumn) pass far too quickly. One needs to be immersed in the colors, temperatures and all the excessive treats that you can absorb. My hypothesis is that on Halloween, candy is health food.

There must have been a mass of traffic on social media. Doesn't take a descendant of Sherlock Holmes to be able to deduce that a rumor or posts like this can cause chaos. As for various humans going crazy, well since 2016 U.S. election along with COVID/quarantine our species has been well, less than WELL. 😉 It does sound like management lost perspective on this incident. Not to blame Mr. Beast, but he and his team should always remember "with great power comes great responsibility."

Posted To Gold Shaw Farm (RE: movie Adopting Audrey) uploaded to You Tube 09/01/2022

This is fantastic! I am leaving right now to check this movie out. Just leaving this comment to show my happiness and augment the You Tube algorithm for Gold Shaw Farm.

Just saw it (a rental on Amazon Prime).  Quirky, funny, a bit sad, with an interesting/abrupt ending but makes sense regarding the personalities of the 2 main characters. I would not call this movie restful, but after so may adrenaline-fueled movies that I have recently seen, this was a good change. Highly recommend it.

NOTE:  there is a credit for "Morgan Gold" @1:30 (ending credits).

The thumbnail says it all, they were fire vs. fire. This was a very well researched history of these two unique people. We still talk about them, we still marvel at their creations, and maybe it is trite to say, we still mourn their loss. Not sure of the direction this new series will go, but I hope that Fashion Feuds can be extended to disagreements with any entity (corporations, public perceptions, conservatism, fashion status quo) not just one human vs. another human. Whatever direction this series takes, I am looking forward to future videos.

Posted to John Campea (RE: new AMC/Nicole Kidman commercial) uploaded to You Tube 09/02/2022 

It isn't that the Nicole Kidman commercial is bad, it is just there is SO many commercials before the trailers/movie. I am also not a fan of repetition. It initiates anti-social behavior (by me) such as: a loud groan, playing Pokémon Go instead of turning off my phone and my irritatingly loud giggle (sounds like one of the 3 witches in Macbeth). As of this post, I have held down my impulse to throw popcorn at the screen. Of course it helps that popcorn is high-priced and I love popcorn.

Posted to Dan Murrell (RE: Ep 1 + 2 of LOTR:Rings of Power) uploaded to You Tube 09/01/2022

I checked IMDb. This is an 8-episode season with 6 credited writers (including  J.R.R. Tolkien who, were he available for interviews, might beg to differ on this credit). That group-think factor might bode well for future episodes or best case scenario make for a basic anthology, albeit with beautiful cinematography, type series placed in Middle Earth. (Hmmm wonder if any of these writers did work on GoT, hopefully not the last season's scripts?)

Posted to JackSepticEye (RE: You Tube administrative issues) uploaded to You Tube 08/31/2022

Admittedly there are many things to fix at You Tube, but I agree with the changes proposed in this video that just giving time stamps for video/audio that breaks TOS or pushes someone's Defcon 1 copyright alert button, would be an enormous change for the better. I am guessing that the copyright strikes or demonetized/pulled videos due to inappropriate content leans more towards the smaller You Tuber channels rather than one with more views with frequent uploads. Yes it could be racial, but the LCD in many equations usually comes down to...MONEY, a corporation's money. That being said, start setting up those interdepartmental meetings You Tube. There are solutions out there proposed by some very smart people, just listen.

I wish I could offer advice, but I haven't found that holy grail of happiness and strength out there. I appreciate this video sharing some of the tumult that has roared through the life of Footless Jo. I like the advice I got a long time ago when my life imploded. Give yourself a "vacation" from worry for one month. Obviously pay your bills, do not miss absolutely necessary appointments. Just think about banal things. Immerse yourself in whatever makes you happy. Groom the dogs, clean a closet, pay Amazon way too much cash to rent some really bad movies. Above all do not take guilt, pleasing others and smiling when you do not feel like it with you on this immersion.

Posted to John Campea (RE: Pinocchio [2022] Review) uploaded to You Tube 09/09/2022

I mean it wasn't that bad. (not a phrase you want on your movie poster). It seems like they tried to have it both ways, for example old fashion imaging for Pinocchio, yet the cat was amazing. Oddly, because I love Tom Hanks' performances, his face took me out of the movie constantly. He looked too young, moved too young, something was off with his makeup/wig. They needed more Blue Fairy, more sea monster, less J. Cricket along with maybe a less squeaky voice for Pinocchio. Probably was the direction (sorry. Mr. Zemeckis). BTW I have unfortunately seen excerpts from the Pauly Shore version. OUCH!

Posted to Philip DeFranco (RE: News- Thursday September 8) uploaded to You Tube 09/08/2022

Not sure who to blame on the You Tube issues, except that one basic theme keeps being voiced by creators: NO data. Videos are yanked, comments deleted, videos age-restricted or just randomly (whether a human or 'bot at You Tube or simply a Troll  reporting the creator) taking off the entire channel. The solution is easy, every action which I am sure is logged into a program  should be accompanied by time-codes and the specific terms of service rule (per time code/video) that was broken. Hey You Tube, I can code, text me!

Posted to AngryJoeShow (RE: She-Hulk episode 4 review) uploaded to You Tube 09/08/2022

I also like the concept of the "case of the week". A device showcasing a very 2-dimensional female character hurt my brain. I do not blame the actress. I will quote Jessica Rabbit in the 1988 move Who Framed Roger Rabbit ("I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way"). I blame the script and maybe also the director. That character was agonizingly unfunny. I would have shown her being slightly better after each connection with other realms and streaming nights with the Sorcerer Supreme (aka Wong-ers).

Posted to LetsTalkIBD (RE: clickbait) uploaded to You Tube 09/13/2022

News media has de-evolved as streaming has evolved and spread throughout our lives. Print/news media's fear of becoming obsolete has exceeded their fear of lying or exaggerating. Who ever thought 10 years ago that in 2022 you would have to fact check large news agencies in order to get information that you were relatively certain was accurate. Keep sharing data online, this channel is an honest description of living with a chronic disease. While IBD is not what I struggle with, I am still helped by the information and life happenings described on this channel.

Posted to Law & Lumber (RE: Patricia Hearst trial) uploaded to You Tube 09/14/2022

Was she guilty legally, I believe yes. Brainwashed, probably not. However there was some deficit regarding the girl that Patricia Hearst was. Judging from some of her life choices, she was easily persuaded and not psychologically strong enough to see the truth. Her change of colleges and live-in boyfriend (wasn't he much older than her and also HER former teacher?), seems to show a rebellion against her wealthy family. Daddy did not rescue her, so she found support elsewhere specifically in an older male with power of whom her family would not approve. Ironically if she had been isolated by force (yes I know not their way just making an analogy) in a Tibetan monastery at 19, she probably would have become a nun.

Posted to Pretty Pastel Side Quest (RE:GRWM - 15 minutes) uploaded to You Tube 09/15/2022

Loved the video. Although it did give me a little stress. Very similar to how I get ready, except my mantra is (not necessarily in this order):  "I can never get my hair straight", "did these jeans shrink", "where is my cami, not that one, the black one" and the oldie but goodie, "the cat threw up where".  Obvious considering I have two cats who delight in causing mayhem when I am running late I am no stranger to messes, but is Dumpling toilet-trained? The carpets look very white, fluffy and clean so just curious on how it stays that way.

Will Smith's time out was only slightly longer than what happened when I broke my curfew.😉 He should be allowed to work at his primary job. Will I ever go back to the opinion I had of him before March 27 2022, probably no. Will he ever know (or care) regarding my opinion, definitely no. All we can do is hope for his emotional and intellectual growth, not just the growth of his bank account.

Posted to John Campea (RE: Vanity Fair article on Ezra Miller) uploaded to You Tube 09/21/2022

Mental illness is an illness and should be treated that way. If the grooming allegation is true, that behavior is a crime and should be treated appropriately. The mental illness issue can mitigate punishment, but no one should be allowed to commit this type of behavior without intervention. As much as I am an avid fan on most DC/Marvel content, in this case I am not sure that I can separate the artist from the art.

In spite of the expert commentary by The Behavior Panel, I thought this individual was just garden-variety crazy. My early hypothesis was that she lost control. While she intended to hurt, she had not intended to kill. However then I heard her say "some of my family" @1:33, even sitting in front of a monitor far away from this individual, I was actually scared. There is no mercy, no kindness and certainly no empathy in Baker. I almost feel sorry for her fellow inmates.

Posted to Roxxsaurus (RE: Kyle Jenner Remakes) uploaded to You Tube 09/21/2022

I agree, the clothing shown was in the category of: is it a dress or is it cosplay. This video illustrates a good life hack, as actual Halloween costumes can cost 20-50+USD. Just shop for any accessories at thrift stores with these dresses as a baseline and you are good to go.  Roxx is spot on, that green dress is so Poison Ivy, just need a few leaves! This may be a stretch, but that blue painted body dress gives me Doctor Manhattan (a character from DC - Watchmen series) vibes. Bonus fact, you probably could get by with no accessories.😂

Posted to John Campea (RE: Olivia Wilde's directing career) uploaded to You Tube 09/23/2022

I could not find a definitive answer (paywalls), but this site->  https://www.indiewire.com/2022/09/dont-worry-darling-box-office-olivia-wilde-1234766128/  indicates a budget of 30-35M usd for "Don't Worry Darling". Not sure if movie will be profitable, but it is too early to label it a "bomb". I highly doubt that a less than profitable outcome will derail her career. She strikes me as someone who will always want to direct, even if the equipment is limited to an iPhone and a few (famous) friends. The plot strongly reminds me of a movie from 1975, remade in 2004 (not mentioning it in case of spoilers), but as I have not seen this movie that is only speculation. For me, even if cinematography is excellent I will watch this at home via streaming service.

However, hearing the former (aka ex) holder of the title of (U.S.) called President is a somewhat triggering phrase for me due to events of January 6, 2021.  I recognize my prejudices, but still feel somewhat dismayed hearing the words that a re-election is a possibility.

Not exactly a native New Yorker, but during a battle in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness there was a "local" of sorts at the Tibetan home base of the trainers of the mystic arts. Sara (played by Sheila Atim) had limited screen time but the actions/acting showed the devotion of these practitioners regarding their home and creed. Yes a stretch, but it did give a "local" flavor. Of course as was said, this is a Sam Raimi film. There may be other DC or Marvel examples but none come immediately to mind, beyond of course Bruce Campbell's role in Multiverse of Madness.

I suppose it is too much to hope that there is DNA evidence gathered, saved, but not yet examined with current lab technology which could finally solve this case. Perhaps then the victim's family would be able to exit the horrible reality in which they currently find themselves. Did Adnan Syed commit the murder? Thanks to an ineffective, incomplete and almost careless investigation, we may never know for certain.

Characteristics of the period they want to revisit permanently: (1) decline in culture and arts (2) bad economy (3) very bad living conditions and [the fav of these "public servants"] (4) few if any new technological and scientific advances.

I am from Boston. Real Estate in Boston is a commitment. Whether one owns, rents or books a hotel room, the cost can be quite high. Of course it does depend on location (as in being nearby convention centers) rather than size of room. It was a good idea to combine a short vacation with the conference. Do good work and have fun in the same weekend. Oddly enough I did not even think about the Ostomy bag until I saw the pool. Do not complain about hair transformation in Orlando, Florida. When I was there my hair mutated into a curly, frizzy Bride of Frankenstein (but in a blondish-brown color palette)look. I kept getting stares as I walked around the theme park. I finally found out why from a bemused customer service person. With my floppy white hat, big sunglasses and fake-looking hair I looked like a celebrity trying to avoid the media!

Posted to Dr. Todd Grande (RE: Ryan Grantham's murder of his mother)uploaded-You Tube 09/25/2022

I am not blaming the acting profession, but it seems like certain children who excel early in the profession only to find "joblessness " in their early teen and young adult years seem to more prone to mental disorders along with self-medication with drugs and/or alcohol with escalation to self-harm or harm to others.  Dr. Grande's assumption of what this individual would be like at 35 after almost 2 decades in a U.S. prison is most likely accurate. Perhaps the Canadian system is more effective at dealing with damaged individuals. I would be interested to know why he stopped with only one murder. Isn't a family member being killed usually a prelude to a larger act of violence?

Posted to MedCram (RE: BiValent Booster, get it or not) Uploaded to You Tube 09/20/2022

I appreciate this information about the bivalent booster. I had not considered that this bivalent booster being 50% aimed toward the original strain, would potentially be weaker regarding Variants 4 and 5. So if the remaining 50% is divided equally between Variants 4 and 5 does this mean it is even weaker protection against Variant 5? As far as I can determine by admittedly minimal online research, the COVID Variant that is is primarily affecting people (as of this comment) is Variant 5 not Variant 4. QUESTION: Are Variant 4 and Variant 5 are similar enough to respond equally as affectively to the same chemistry? Apologies to my high school chem teacher, they were correct I would need this knowledge in my future.

Posted to John Campea (RE: Set News on "Don't Worry Darling") uploaded to You Tube 09/26/2022

I don't know what is going on. Obviously there were multiple personality conflicts. Whatever happened during the filming of an ironically titled, "Don't Worry Darling", a film was "born" and no one died. The script needed a rewrite and perhaps some casting changes, but in the final analysis it was just an adequate film. My guess is that all involved parties will go on to future careers and perhaps future awards. Off-topic, but what is the status on the "Rust" situation?  Halyna Hutchins' death was a preventable accident and a tragedy for her friends and family. "Don't Worry Darling" seems to be a lot of people protecting a lot of posteriors.

RLM is valiantly trying to make Tic Tac's (aka the "medication" scene) a phenomenon again. So I almost typed TikTok and I am OLD! Hence, I am thinking that maybe a switch to more controversial candy, such as anything with the word "gummi(y)" in it.

Posted to Dr. Todd Grande (RE: John Walsh father of murdered son Adam Walsh) 09/26/2022

I have to do the math on this person. John Walsh may have misspoken on occasion, may have a limited knowledge of crime stats, but he was instrumental (even if only as a figurehead) in the creation of a movement that led to a centralized data base concerning missing children. That being said, I had no idea John Walsh was in his mid-twenties when he met and married a (then) teenage girl. Again, different times, odd views. Dating rules, even if defined by law often treated the marriageable age law as more of a guideline (thank you Pirates of the Caribbean for that "borrowed" expression) than a mandate. As for Mrs. Walsh's parenting ability, yes this was a time when a worry like this was not on the mind of most parents. I also have a theory that the attorneys for the store from which Adam disappeared had as their priority the store, not the child. A civil suit would have not been exactly beneficial for a store that advertised itself as being very family-oriented.  The leaked "opinions" on the stability of the Walsh family may have been just that final step to save a corporation's image. Again, just a hypothesis.

Yes, Sam I am an American and yes, Sam I LOVE cinnamon. That red dress is beautiful, love the drape in the back. WARNING: my closet and jewelry is predominantly black with some neutrals like brown, tan, navy, silver. Try virtual window shopping through ETSY or a vintage online site to find unusual jewelry like cuff bracelet in a wood-like (or recycled wood) material. For earrings I like those very long tassel ones (resemble curtain pulls) for this dress, probably in magenta or a red with blue undertones (so not an orangey red). I would skip the necklace as long as the earrings are LONG. Maybe a dark metal barrette for the back of the hair? As for shoes, try to go with a shoe that honors the spirt of Dorothy's ruby slippers (from Wizard of Oz), but in a much more sophisticated, eye-catching silhouette and/or pattern. Be sure these "unicorns" are shoes for walking not just for instagramming.  There be dragons...and scary shoes out there!

Rooster, ferrets and a recent former U.S. president have plagued the life of Rudy Giuliani. It appears as though Mr. Giuliani has weaknesses in forming realistic judgements concerning certain forms of life. Now that weakness has even encompassed his own life. The past few decades have not only been a fall from grace, but a plummet from Gracie Mansion to a NYC apartment recently searched by the FBI due to an ongoing criminal investigation. He should have stopped at the ferret fiasco.

I have watched The Try Guys for years. Family members became part of the series. And co-workers were brought on screen to become "family". I am not sure this blowup is survivable as it seems The Try Guys' money-making theme was family and friends. There is a recent Try Guys video with the other Try Guys doing comedy routines with Ned Fulmer quite obviously edited out. I could not finish that particular show. They just did not make me laugh or even smile anymore. While I always felt that Ned (irony alert) tried too hard to be THE family man, I was still shocked by this news. I would not be surprised if the female co-worker involved in this cheating scandal had her contract terminated and then she sues. This reading may be more than correct simply concerning the present, it might give some future info.

Posted to Dr. Todd Grande (RE: "The Bling Ring") uploaded to You Tube 09/28/2022

I think that adults in the lives of these teens (parents, teachers, counselors, doctors) were also somewhat responsible for these crimes. While not all narcissists are teens, many teens have narcissistic tendencies tempered by the adults in their lives and perhaps daily experiences. Of course some teens carry these characteristics in adulthood. This particular group of thieves with overly high self-esteem were allowed to keep those narcissist traits by adults who were either oblivious and/or incompetent. Hopefully by this point most have a more mature lifestyle and life view.

I love it when films have titles that are ironic such as "Don't Worry Darling" (like everyone got concerned, worried, garrulous). We can also have that Ironic Film Title  film festival starring:  (1)the 2008 film "The Happening" (as in *** just happened), (2) the 2022 film "Halloween Ends" (yeah sure), (3)  "Transcendence" (which only confused its demo) and my fav (4) the 2003 film "The Room" (still can't figure out that title, maybe because the 1960 film, "The Apartment" was a much better made film?). I could go on, but I am sure that there is a BuzzFeed list out there that has already addressed this subject.

Posted to Philip DeFranco (RE: Daily News Sept. 29) uploaded to You Tube 09/29/2022

I agree that the remaining Try Guys need to take their time on their first public statement since everything imploded. While it seemed like a good idea at the time, The Try Guys have made their employees and family members an integral on-screen part of their channel. What Ned Fulmer has done, is not just damage or end his marriage, he may have destroyed the livelihood of friends, family and employees. I do want to hear from the 3 guys, but I hope Mr. Fulmer takes a very long sabbatical from social media. His, thankfully short, "apology" seemed to have a subtext saying "sorry that I got caught".
