[Hubert Flottz]

4. Ronald Reagan took over my TV!

I missed 'Gilligan goes to Normandy'!

[pretzel4gore]

5. the 36th anninversary of Robert F Kennedy's murder passed

w/out any newsmedia notice, as usual. Bobby's murder was part of the 'de-democratising' of the USA, which impacts modern politics a lot more then D Day (we 'won' 2nd world war by june6/44 anyway) or death of ronald mcdonald....

[madrchsod]

7. ronald mc donald died?

[LynneSin]

9. yes, he supersized it one too many times

[Hubert Flottz]

10. Tell them you FORGOT what you were gonna' tell 'em!

My kids will NEVER forget the Christmas of 84 or 85 when they didn't get anything because of Reaganomics! Santa didn't FORGET them because my kids had been mean! Noooooo Santa Forgot my kids because Reagan had been mean and "Daddy" couldn't find a job!

6. My uncle died.

He was very old, and tired of living. But it is sad that his presence is gone from this world.

A :toast: to Uncle Jim.

On edit: Now I have no living aunts or uncles.

[terrya]

8. My condolences, sweetie.

I'm sorry to hear of your Uncle Jim's passing.

When a loved one passes away, it's like a candle being snuffed out.

My thoughts are with you.

Terry

26. Tony de la Rosa died

"CORPUS CHRISTI — Tony De La Rosa, an accordionist who helped shape the Tejano music industry, died Wednesday from complications following surgery, according to Rick Garcia of Hacienda Records. He was 72.

"De La Rosa helped revolutionize conjunto music by adding drums and electrifying the bajo sexto or 12-string guitar in his post-World War II band, creating a new style called tacuachito."

Hear a clip of his music here--& some by other Texas accordion heroes (& heroines).

30. Reagan died?????

[NightTrain]

31. Other

I cut my fingernail too short and it was sore as hell for three days! :hurts:

[lpbk2713]

32. The kid across the street is going in the Army tomorrow.

He was not supposed to go until January but the recruiters say otherwise. I suspect they manipulated the paperwork to improve their quota but I haven't suggested that to the parents yet.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

33. Other: unnecessary deaths in Iraq resulting from Bush's war.

[LynneSin]

34. I can't believe no one was upset that Creed broke up

WOW - I'm shocked!!!

:wow:

[mvd]

35. Creed breaking up!

Just kidding. The band is going on anyway: without Stapp. I was most saddened by Smarty losing. It would have been such a nice ending to the whole story. But as Avril says on her great new CD: "so much for my happy ending."
