Shakespeare has his moments but it is hard to often get his inside joke rich language and symbolism based on what was going on in NOTHING but the court of Elizabeth I and his many references to various Roman and Greek plays, histories, and people.

I have seen a lot of Shakespeare (the Bard) plays and audited a Shakespeare course at the University of Nevada, Reno.


I saw the Bard's plays at a lot of different places. Near Lake Tahoe, in San Francisco, and in Minneapolis.

Just NOTHING I could get into. My schooling consisted of what I liked and retained and what I had no interest in and promptly forgot. Shakespeare fell into the latter category. I would be the world's worst Jeopardy contestant.

I have been trying to get into George R.R. Martin's complicated Game of Thrones universe while preparing to watch the last season of this great show and it is NOTHING but hard.

I think students might be studying his works in the future. He is no William Shakespeare however. Who is? It does take a lot of work to really understand Shakespeare's works and his influence on many countries seminal writers.

Happy Birthday, Tal, hope its a great one for you. It's a good day to relax and enjoy the 30th anniversary of your 29th Birthday. I hope someone gives you a Half Gallon of Your Favorite Hagen Daz Flavor. And NOTHING but a couple of Humongous Lobsters!

No. NOTHING special. Will probably skip the Oscars and watch The Walking Dead but will tape the Academy Awards in case I hear about something interesting on there that I should check out myself.

Been watching A Star is Born from 2018 on Blu-Ray. I do see this song as winning the Oscar tonight but it seems to be about the only sure-thing.

I hear ya. At a point, Birthday's only really count when they are in Multiples of 5. Of course, ever birthday is important otherwise we'd be Sleeping With The Fishes. The Godfather Luca Brasi Sleeps with the Fishes YouTube cut 1 - YouTube

Don't forget Tal, Sonny from the Godfather would be alive if he had SunPass!

I got 100% it was NOTHING but a Jughandle for me, a Piece of Cake. Tal, see if you can dig up a quiz for

1) Brooklyn.
2) Boston.
3) Sopranos.
4) Washington State. (I'll Flunk That One) I though you could see Russia from there!

Atta Boy Tal!

Tal.. Why are you visiting a website called women.com? Are you NOTHING but shopping for a nurse or do we have something to worry about?

1. Tal: Happy birthday, I wish you NOTHING but the best for the coming year, good health, good friends, good days and good nights.
2. Yes the Lady took her own life. I'd just finished reading a chapter in a book about WWII and had the horrors of war in my head when I "misspoke", as it were.
3. I love me a good murder mystery as well. I get Amazon Reads books every month for $1.99 each, on new releases by obscure authors. Mostly I've been selecting historic fiction that takes me all around the world, from North and South Korea, to Ireland, Alaska, the African slave trade, and currently, the Holocaust in Poland during WWII (Clara's War, by Clara Kramer). I still like Chaucer though. And Shakespeare. There's NOTHING like a good book to take you away from your troubles. Except perhaps music. Music has charms to soothe the savage breast. But I read that in a book too
