valleycliffe January 31, 2018 Share January 31, 2018 i was up very early this morning and the clouds had cleared off so i saw the moon just as eclipse was starting. then i went outside a couple of times after that...when eclipse was almost full i could see how it looked orangey and that's what made it a blood moon. it's clouded over again now and the rain is supposed to come back.. 6 Link to comment

jewel21 February 1, 2018 Share February 1, 2018 I looked at the moon around 11 PM last night. It was very bright but not very big since it was high up in the sky. I left my house at 7 AM but didn't see the moon at all. I couldn't seem to find it in the sky. Of course, the sun was already rising by that point. They said it wouldn't be great to view it if you were in the East. 4 Link to comment

Cupid Stunt February 3, 2018 Share February 3, 2018 Dennis Edwards, Temptations former lead singer, dead at 74. Born just outside Birmingham, Alabama, in 1943, Edwards was the son of a pastor, which led to a musical upbringing in the gospel choir at his father’s church. Edwards would eventually study at the Detroit Conservatory of Music and start a jazz group, Dennis Edwards and the Fireballs, in 1961. After a stint in the military, Edwards auditioned for Motown Records and became the lead singer for the Contours, who frequently opened for the Temptations. The Temptations was one of the leading male vocal groups of the 1960s and early 1970s, and helped define the signature Motown sound. The gig led him to David Ruffin, whom he replaced as the group’s lead vocalist in 1968 and had a number of hits including two Grammy award-winning songs, Papa Was a Rollin' Stone and Cloud Nine. Edwards lead was a departure for the Temptations music style with influences from funk and psychedelic rock, and away from Ruffin’s ballad style. Edwards was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with the Temptations in 1989. Edwards solo career included 1984 Motown single Don’t Look Any Further, a duet with Siedah Garrett, reached No. 2 on the R&B charts in 1984. But he remained best known as a member of the Temptations; after a split with the act in 1977, he returned in 1987, then left the same year. Edwards is survived by a daughter from his marriage to Ruth Pointer of the Pointer Sisters. 10 Link to comment
Cupid Stunt February 3, 2018 Share February 3, 2018 After grocery shopping with my sister-in-law, we went to pick up her dog at the groomer. Not just any dog groomer, but Dog Groomer To The Stars, Jess Rona. I didn't know there was this category of service person, but if you can have an Eyebrow Sculptor To The Stars, Laser Hair-Removal Technician To The Stars, Florist To The Stars, Car Detailer To The Stars, there has to be a dog groomer to fill in the void. I do like Jess Rona's IG array, and she was a charming woman in person, but sometimes being the Fill In The Blank To The Stars becomes one more thing, an endless list of detritus in L.A. Speaking of grocery shopping, I was told we were hosting a Super Bowl party Thursday night -- Surprise! Mr.Stunt and Thing2 were working on a car project and came up with the bright idea.

George is officially sick of winter. Some days when we step outside he looks at the ground and sighs then looks at me like "again with this shit?" Sometimes i have to carry him because of the slush or salt and obviously he loves being carried by me, but when outside a boy doggy also wants to run and sniff or chase...so this routine is boring him.

PatsyandEddie February 8, 2018 Share February 8, 2018 I want that tea cup! I have a very modest collection which started with my husband’s grandmother’s , his mother’s and mine’s. Some are over 75 years old. Show really has cheaped out in the last decade but I suppose it reflects modern society. I have a formal dining room complete with full plate settings and silver.

I don't know if any of you collect that or find it pretty but I liked it because it reminded me of blue willow. I think it's a shame when old and beautiful things like that are destroyed or sold casually. Its a big winter storm here in Chicago area. My first day at my new non retail job is Monday.
