Your Minutes of Zen

You know, I realized you don't have to actually do the quizzes (other than the 30 point 3 question ones) to get credit, so I stopped even going through them.

Yes, you be correct however I thought it was an error originally because there always errors with Microsoft being very frustrating. I take the easy way out a lot but My Mom told Me about it and like OK, I'll check it out, so I made that exception and I'm glad I did. I love looking at the Arch I mean it's one of the most fascinating structures on the planet and I live just a half hour or so from it. I don't think people really know how awesome it is and how beautiful the whole area is until their right there How about that Stacy Keach.

Here's this nice little broadcast from KMOV Channel 4 from January, 13, 1987

I don't recall that fire but I wasn't even 10 yet so wasn't like I was watching the news, lol.

These are all pretty short...

I was about 6, even then I had an eye for local news & stuff even though some stuff I really didn't know much of. I always found things interesting, part of My learning curve and wanting to know things. That was a lot of Community but it was cool.

I don't know if your familiar with Joann Fabrics. Me & Mom used to go there a lot. Mom used to go there with My Grandma MiMi as well. We have 3 locations, one on Gravois, one by Jefferson Barracks and one in South County that took the place of Circuit City next to Toys 'R' Us. Well, their going out of business after decades of existing because of how times are and so forth. Me & My Mom are quite sad about this. I mean this store was helpful for so much like repairing clothing, Holiday stuff and much more. As I always say about the future, it's looking even more bleak now, before you know it, girls, women & people in general in the future will know nothing of the hobby especially since so few are preserving the past...one by one, great things are fading away

Yes, been there many times. My daughter loves to go there for fabrics and dyes. She's gotten into costuming and theater. It's a shame. They always seemed fairly busy whenever we went.

[BrandonDaCollector]

Oh that's great, I'm sure glad to know that your daughter is like that Yes, they did get a lot of business but you never can tell I sure recall how it was in 1993, that year they were something else. If your daughter don't know about Joann Fabrics' untimely demise, let her know so she can go there before their gone forever That Hidden Temple was really cool, very adventurous there not to mention very fun

Here's this St. Louis special of the late great Richard Simmons on KSDK Channel 5 from the super fun year of 1990

[packerbacker180]

Richard Simmons always seemed like a sincere guy. It's a shame in a lot of his appearances it almost felt like they were making fun of him. Not that clip, but just in general.

[BrandonDaCollector]

Yes, I believe he was. I know, just a shame how people are and how they approach unique individuals Like I said in My showcase a couple years back, he was an 80s icon That was a very good Night Court that

This was epic back in 1991. Little did I know that Stallone, Arnold & Willis (little did they know too) that they'd be back together decades later in the Expendables movies which I will spotlight in time

The real Dream Team. Probably the biggest three action stars of that era.

Woke up this morning to see the sad news that Gene Hackman and his wife (and dog) had passed away. What a career he had.
