B3,

I'll go along with the same year of birth, though since moving to TV, I feel I'm born afresh every afternoon morning I wake (gag!! :barf: nauseating, isn't it).

Regarding typing B cubed, it's really quite easy. Type B3. The hi-lite the 3 and hit the superscript key in the doodads (sorry about the technical terms) above. It's the mainly empty one with small print "sup" across the top. Don't use the one next to it or you'll get B3.

About me giving any type of speech, I was buying something at WalMart today and charged it. The young lady asked how I pronounced my last name. I replied, "Normally without this lisp when I have all my teeth."

I suppose I could take down the golf ball (now speared with a nail holding the string) left by the previous owners and put up a wiffle ball (a whole package of which they left as well), but we kind of got used to the golf ball and even the fact that we have to go a half foot past GENTLY hitting it because our Prius has a longer and more sloping windshield than their car did. Whatever works....

Sidney....

I have lots of used tennis balls if you would prefer a gentle green felt impact with your Prius.

Uncle Muncle was a no-show...guess the choices of soups and pudding weren't enough to lure him out into the real world with his aching choppers. We missed him!!!

V'07,

Bx3! Yet another choice for my name dilemma. Thank you. Oh my, I will be awake all night.

And Muncle,

B3, B3, B3. By George, I think I've got it! I've got it! I've got it! Thanks for the instruction.

I hope no one finds out that I was sitting here for 5 minutes looking at the top row of my keyboard for those "doodads" until Mr. Boomer came in and showed me the error of my ways. It was the "above" that I was not comprehending. I guess I needed it to be a preposition and there it was being an adverb.

And yes, of course, to both of you on the common denominator. For some reason, I looked up and saw that calendar thing "above" and I started snooping through it. All on my list are much, much older than I am though. I was closer to the end of that early boom year.

And I am so thrilled to know that Muncle gets younger every day that he wakes up in TV. Boomers going backwards. I can't wait.

All of you are so crazy! You always make me laugh. With all of the problems in my life right now, I know I can always go to TOTV and get a laugh. Thank you

Muncle,

Look at this. You have been an inspiration to Chuck also. You have opened a whole new world. Doodads R Us. :bigthumbsup:

Because I have already hijacked the heck out of this thread, I thought it might be the best place to ask you a question. -- Who is the guy in your picture?

At first glance I thought it was Jonathan Winters but realized immediately that it was not. When you had that picture of Gutenberg awhile back, I finally had to ask you about it. I kept thinking it was Geoffrey Chaucer but it wasn't quite right. It was driving me nuts so I just had to ask.

If you tell me who this one is, I know it will be one of those things where I will smack myself on the forehead and say, "Duh." He looks so familiar. It isn't Orson Welles, is it?

I first thought it was J Edgar Hoover or Wendell Willkie, but it looks to be Huey P Long

The Kingfish, huh?

I also have been wondering if you, Chuck, are Jim Ignatowski or is that really you?

I guess it's soon time to change pix. This one is Whittaker Chambers while working at Time Magazine, likely in the '40s. No real reason for using the pic other than the Chambers/Alger Hiss controversy has always interested me. Like a lot of people, my opinion moderated over time as more info was revealed (and I matured), but I've enjoyed how a lot of Hiss defenders totally ignore Soviet documents rather than admit that there were actually Soviet spies in American government and media.

I also like the picture because it reminds me a lot of Mr. Potter, the real hero of It's a Wonderful Life.

Guess now I'll try to find a picture of Leopold or Loeb or maybe John Scopes.

My curiosity is aroused. What time of day would someone go and take away a speed bump? If it was done during the day, how'd they get away with it? Do you think it was visitors?

-- one of my all time favorite characters.

Don't forget. You have had piano lessons.

Wait. I'm back.

Geez...had to come back in to edit yet again. (I am trying to make Easter baskets, watch Suze Orman, and look at the computer all at the same time - oh and I still use my exercise ball for a desk chair.)

OK, let me try this again. You are you. The picture is Iggy. I should not think of you as Iggy. You made that clear in your post when you said that you are really you. OK. I think I've got it now. I need to slow down. You know, as in "What...does...the...yellllloooow...liiiight...mee eeean?"
