attydallas3: Comic Actor Bob Newhart Dead @ 94 - Dang, another star that I had thought faded away a long time ago. I guess he didn't do much in his last few years (?)

But then, when you have a Top 10 hit like "Wishful Drinking" (and another tune, "Waste of Lime" you'd think there was something going on with her in that department :

attydallas3: "The Long Black Veil" - This classic country tune (added recently by Congress to the national historic music register, btw) has been covered by so many artists over the decades, inc. Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, John Anderson, etc.. I had thought it was originally a composition of The Band (in the same vein as their hit, "The Weight", but found out just a few days ago it was actually originally recorded by "Lefty" Frizzell back in 1959. It was written for him by the piano player (and backup vocalist) in his band, Marijohn Wilkin. Very intriguing tale about a cowboy , who was mistakenly believed to have murdered another man. Only problem was at the time the cowboy had a dang good alibi -- unfortunately, his alibi was that at the time of the killing he was away in the arms of his best friend's wife. May not mean much today, but back in those days if you messed around with a married woman, esp. in a small town where everyone knew each other, you might as well be dead (same for the cheating spouse). So, he made the brave decision to go to the gallows with the secret on his lips, rather than disgrace the gal he loved. She, of course, also needed to keep silent, yet also felt the need to secretly pay homage to the man she loved, esp in light of the decision he made. So, she went around mysteriously afterwards wearing a long black veil, with only her knowing the reason for same. Anyway, a couple of years after the tune was recorded (and a big hit for Lefty) Wilkins made the decision to compose a "response" tune - "My Long Black Veil" - giving us the viewpoint of the widow in the matter. Very excellent job of songwriting, as to both tunes. I did not know about the response tune until just yesterday, and here is a video that combines the two tunes, back to back, with Wilkins herself (very lovely voice, btw) singing the "response":

attydallas3: Was never a big fan of Lefty, but this tune got me to listening to his music and reading up about him. Seems musicologists put him on the same par as Hank Williams (i.e. the greatest C & W singers of all time), but with a bit more of a "cleaned-up" edge to his honky-tonk style singing. Sadly, he had a long battle with alcoholism, eventually dying too young @ 47. &:-) Paul

KeithJ: Martin Mull, the deadpan comic actor, singer-songwriter and artist who won widespread attention in the 1970s on television shows like “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman” and “Fernwood 2-Night” and remained active in television and film over the next half-century, died on Thursday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 80.

His wife, Wendy Mull, confirmed the death. No cause was given.

Mr. Mull, a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, broke into show business as a singer and songwriter with a satirical bent. He embodied the hip, cerebral humor that ran through the anti-establishment comedy of the 1970s and ’80s.

His persona — both the way he presented himself when he performed music and, later, the kind of roles he usually played in movies and on television — was droll, understated and often sardonic. Much like Steve Martin, with whom he was sometimes compared, he presented an outwardly buttoned-down image that belied an often absurdist sense of humor.

Mr. Mull’s first acting role was on “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman,” Norman Lear’s satire of soap operas, which debuted in 1976. He was cast in the supporting role of Garth Gimble, a domestic abuser who meets his demise by being impaled on an aluminum Christmas tree.

The next year he starred in the show’s spinoff, “Fernwood 2-Night,” a parody of talk shows. He played the show’s host, Barth Gimble, Garth’s twin brother.

“With an undistinguished blond mustache, which may or may not be intended as a joke, Barth copes manic‐depressively with a shaky job situation and some hazy allegations about charges pending against him in Florida,” John J. O’Connor of The New York Times wrote in a review of the show. Barth interviewed guests about U.F.O. sightings and anchored segments like “Talk to a Jew.”

Mr. Mull also stood out for supporting roles in the movies “Mr. Mom” (1983) and “Clue” (1985), based on the board game, in which he played the tweedy Colonel Mustard, and on TV shows including “Roseanne,” the political sitcom “Veep” and the cult comedy “Arrested Development,” in which he was an incompetent private investigator named Gene Parmesan.
On “Roseanne,” Mr. Mull was the title character’s boss when she worked as a diner waitress (and later, briefly, her business partner after she bought the diner). Early in his seven seasons on the show, it was revealed that his character, Leon Carp, was gay; his life partner, introduced later, was played by Fred Willard, a frequent collaborator of Mr. Mull’s, who had played his talk-show sidekick on “Fernwood 2-Night.” and over 100 movies and shows ect ect ect.

chevyguy3n8n20: If you are using just a temperature and humidity sensor, it should be placed on the north side of the house, just under the overhang, so it stays in the shade. I use the 5 in one outdoor sensor, so I've learned that you just knock 4 or 5 degrees off of what it is reading, especially if it's in direct sunlight. hope this helps, have a great day

attydallas3: Well, I did have it on the north side of my duplex, on my b.r. window. When it started acting up like that, I relocated it (and the backup sensor as well) to the underside of the overhang on that side of the place, to make sure it was not getting hit by direct sunlight. I also put fresh batteries in it. Still acting goofy. I did write Acurite and when their C.S. Dept. is back open on Monday maybe they can tell me what's going on with it. I do know it's pretty old, as from the coded manuf date on it it appears to be over 4 years old. In fact, Acurite doesn't even make that particular model of thermometer anymore. They do advise changing them out every 2 years, at most, for accuracy. &:-) Paul

attydallas3: "Juneteenth" - Coming up this Wednesday, as not only a national holiday but also one that was a holiday here in Texas a long time ago (in fact, the birth place of Juneteenth). In case you don't know what the holiday is all about, here is some info:

* * * * * *

Juneteenth National Independence Day
Reenactment of a US Army soldier talking to a group of enslaved Americans announcing the end of slavery
Booker T. Washington remembered his mother “was standing by my side, leaned over and kissed her children, while tears of joy ran down her cheeks. She explained to us what it all meant, that this was the day for which she had been so long praying but fearing that she would never live to see."
NPS Photo

Juneteenth (June 19) is the one of the oldest known commemorations related to the abolition of slavery in the United States. Juneteenth National Independence Day was signed into law as a national holiday on June 17, 2021. The word “Juneteenth” is a Black English contraction, or portmanteau, of the month “June” and the date “Nineteenth.” Juneteenth celebrates the date of June 19, 1865, when enslaved people of African descent located in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom from the slavery system in the United States.

Freedom was granted through the Emancipation Proclamation signed on January 1, 1863, by President Abraham Lincoln. Texas was the farthest of the Confederate states, and slaveholders there made no attempt to free the enslaved African Americans they held in bondage. This meant that President Lincoln’s proclamation was unenforceable without military intervention, which eventually came nearly 2.5 years later.

From 1865 forward, the day has held special meaning for people of African descent in the United States. Juneteenth continues to be celebrated in cities with Black populations through a series of parades, family reunions, speeches, and consuming of specific foods with a red color including barbeque, watermelon (an African fruit), and “red soda water” (primarily strawberry soda). The use of the color red in ceremonies is a practice that enslaved West Africans brought to the United States. Contemporary food items that maintain this cultural connection include kola nut tea and hibiscus tea, also known as bissap in the Caribbean or jamaica (ha-MY-kah) in Latin America; large numbers of kidnapped and enslaved West Africans were sent to both areas.. Strawberry soda is the contemporary replacement of these teas in US Juneteenth celebrations. Juneteenth is an important date on the timeline of slavery history in the United States.

There is also no actual reporting of it at the time it supposedly happened. It'd be interesting if a researcher took a deep dive into this to learn the truth.

attydallas3: Jewelry Question (Rings) - I've noticed after watching these 'home shopping network" type jewelry shows on T.V. of late that apparently they are making rings now in a way quite different than back when I got my high school (by Balfour, btw) and college (Josten's, btw) class rings. Back then, it seems rings were usually made of a single precious metal (e.g. silver, platinum) .. For some strange reason though they are now made "layered", typically "platinum over silver", or even a "sandwich" composite, such as Rhodium (the most precious of all metals, btw) over platinum over silver. wth ??? Any idea what is up with this type of design? You can only see whatever the outer metal is and, IMHO, silver is much brighter and lustrious than either platinum or Rhodium. Is it purely a $$ vanity thing to have more than one metal in the ring? Is there some advantage to the durability if made that way? I know that neither platinum or Rhodium, unlike silver, do not tarnish, but if the issue is tarnishing, why not have either metal over a core of, e.g. copper, brass, etc.? As to Rhodium, b/c it IS so $$$, usually if it is the outer metal it is only a "dusting" (to use a jewelry term), which, as ring manufacturers often point out, means that the layer of that metal will eventually disappear/be removed over use and/or cleanings over the subsequent years. This new type of ring construction just baffles me. &:-) Paul

attydallas3: "Summer Bible Experience" - I know a lot of kids in the U.S. right now are finishing up V.B.S. (Vacation Bible School) for the summer (and some just starting it), and this got me to waxing on an experience I had one summer as I was a kid. I have no idea which church/denomination/religious organization was behind it, and am hoping someone here also had a similar experience, or even worked at one such site, earlier in life. I would really like to know.

That particular summer our family went - as we did each year - to visit the Ozark Empire Fair near us (Springfield, MO) and there was a tent set up there by some church or "religious organization". The workers were trying to usher kids inside the tent to show them things that would help lead to their salvation, in the event they were not already saved. Mom let me go inside and check it out (being the good and trusting Southern Baptist that she was ). I remember there was a darkened main "waiting area" inside the tent, and, while all of us kids sat there waiting in canvas chairs, one or two of the workers would come get us, one at a time, and lead us through a side "door" in the tent to another small room. In the room, alone with the worker(s), we were presented with a small, hardcover book. The book contained only a few pages, but each page was a different color, w/o printing on it (IIRC). The worker would have us slowly thumb through the pages, explaining to us the "meaning" behind each of the colored pages, in terms of the Gospel and the good news. I remember one page was black, which they explained symbolized the "absence of God" ... another one was white, which symbolized the presence of the Lord .. one was red, which symbolized the blood Jesus shed for us and our salvation .. one was a shiny gold color (like real gold), which, IIRC, symbolized the power and protection from Satan we feel when we accept salvation and the Holy Spirit inside us. I'm thinking there were a few other colors in the book, too, e.g. blue and green, but can't remember the meaning behind those colors. When they were done having us go through the book, IIRC, they invited us to accept Jesus into our life. They also gave us the book to keep (I don't know whatever happened to my copy). I can't tell you how much that "method" of teaching the story made an impression on my young life. Not a single word was needed, and so basic. Outstanding.

attydallas3: Well, this Father's Day tune by Fred Knoblock (he was the husband of Susan Anton back in the day, btw) is kind of the opposite of the one I posted earlier by Cat Stevens. In Cat's tune, the father (or grandfather, in the video) is giving sage life advice to his son/grandson while his offspring is still young, knowing that he won't be around all the time to give same after his child is grown up. In Knoblock's tune, he's apparently at the deathbed of his father, expressing his gratitude to him and begging him not to go (can't tell from the lyrics whether the father had already passed or not at the time). Quite the tear jerker, and it might be upsetting to those who recently lost their own dad.

attydallas3: Update on injured (former) roommate - I posted some time back on how my main roommate was involved in a horrible car accident over Memorial Day weekend. Her and a g/f (g/f was driving her VW) were going out early that a.m. to have a little fun at a nearby game room when they were t-boned in the driver's side hard by a young gal who ran the red light at a major intersection here. Their car then ended up spinning a bit, and running head on into a heavy duty metal light pole. I finally was able to meet with my roommate last week when a mutual friend of ours brought her up to our old place in her car. Turns out she suffered comminuted (i.e. broken/shattered into pieces) fractures of her right arm and right foot (which she previously fractured in a hit and run car wreck 10 years earlier), as well as a double fracture of her upper jaw (maxilla). There is also some concern now that some kind of damage was done to her temporal area, which may possibly somehow result in a "break" in her spinal column (not sure how that works, myself). They have done bone grafts to the jaw fractures, but she is still awaiting surgery on the arm and foot fractures (delayed due to swelling). Due to all these injuries, plus her high body weight and age (55-ish), they have had no choice but to relocate her to a nursing home for the forseeable future. It may also be the case that she will never be able to walk again. Very sad.

Back in April, my roommate and I also had a mutual friend who was involved in another very bad car wreck, suffering a fractured leg. In both accidents, it turns out the other driver did NOT have liability insurance and the driver of the cars my friends were in did not have uninsured motorist coverage under their own policies. So, basically no one is getting their medical bills paid or their totaled cars replaced, to add insult to injury. My latter friend owned a BMW, on which she still owed $20K at the time of the wreck. She will be responsible for paying that note off now, and on a car she can no longer even drive. One point to be made out of all this folks, please make sure you have and keep UM coverage on your own car insurance at all times. There are just too many folks driving around out there w/o liability insurance these days, despite all the leglislative and legal "safeguards" in place to keep that from happening. Here in the Dallas area, it is estimated that is the case for approximately 20% of drivers, scary as that may sound. UM coverage typicaly only costs maybe $20-$30 additional a month for most policies.

One thing my ex roommate is finding out is that, even with Medicare (which she just got earlier this year, thank God) and state Medicaid, it can be difficult to get into a nursing home w/o paying something out of pocket, under the circumstances such as she is in. Apparently they will only pay for care at such a place for a limited period of time. After that, it is my understanding that such facilities have an agreement with those agencies that they will allow a resident to continue to treat there in exchange for the full amount of their S.S. $$ monthly check, no matter the amount, less a small amount given back (typically only $75) for the resident's personal spending. For those "in the know" about this, isn't that how it works? I've only been hearing this stuff second hand. &:-) Paul

I work from home now, but back when I had to drive to work every day, I was in several car accidents, always being hit by someone else (never my fault) and every single one of the accidents was caused by someone without any car insurance of any kind, at all.

I was always lucky enough to have "uninsured motorist" and "under-insured motorist" on my policy. So I feel strongly about having those.

attydallas3: "The (Four) Best Gifts You Could Possibly Give Your Dad" - .. This is from an article on Collin Street Bakery's website (hence the fruitcake purchase link at the end ):

* * * * * * *

Not all Father's Day gifts come in boxes. Sometimes, the best Father's Day gifts are simple, small acts of kindness that mean the most to the men in your life. Here are some simple gift ideas you can give to dad that cost next to nothing:

1. Pay him a "dad-compliment": Fawn over his green grass. Tell him he's a grill master. Applaud his parallel parking skills. He'll be so tickled at the compliment, he won't be able to stop smiling.

2. Ask him to teach you something: Dads love passing on their knowledge, especially to their kiddos. From how to change a tire to where to buy the best mulch, dads are basically beacons of practical tips and tricks. Indulge his desire to show off his skills. He'll really appreciate it—we promise.

3. Tell HIM a dad Joke: There is nothing dads adore more than a good dad joke. You know, those horribly, cheese one-liners that make everyone's eyes roll. This year, show him you get his sense of humor by dishing him a couple of prime dad jokes—check out these 10 Knee-Slapping Dad Jokes for Father’s Day.

4. Give him a sweet treat: Give him something sweet he can snack on while doing dad things, like mowing the lawn or surfing the TV for sports. We recommend our DeLuxe® Fruitcake Petites. Not only will these satisfy his secret sweet tooth, but they also can be enjoyed with just one hand—a plus for dads doing stuff.

* * * * * * *

Jokes So Unfunny, They’re Hilarious

You don’t have to be a dad to appreciate a dad’s sense of humor—you know, those jokes so corny and contrived, you can’t help but groan and roll your eyes. Yet somehow, you can’t suppress the urge to repeat them later on when you see a moment of opportunity. Everyone knows what we’re talking about—those jokes, so obviously clever, yet so painfully punny, they can only be delivered by a man who has so little shame, that he’d wear socks with sandals. We’re talking about DAD JOKES!

Despite the flak dad jokes have received, I think we owe them at least a little credit. Cause let’s face it, these word works of art have been subtly spun and adeptly honed while mowing the yard, hanging Christmas lights, and organizing the garage. Not to mention the years of training endured to get that dad-delivery down juuuuuust right. Trust us, when you see a group of men standing around another man’s brand new bandsaw, they’re not just talking tools. That’s a dad joke symposium right there. Feedback. Is. Being. Given. Just as iron sharpens iron, dad humor hones dad humor.

So, in honor of Father’s Day, we’re paying homage to Dad’s sense of wit with our top 10 favorite dad jokes. So put on that free blood donation t-shirt, hike up those cargo shorts, and secure your cell phone belt clip ‘cause these jokes are coming in hot!

TOP 10 DAD JOKES

JOKE #1
I didn't want to believe that your mom, the traffic cop, was stealing from her work... but when I got home, all the signs were there…


JOKE #2
Do you know what I was thinking today? I was thinking, poop jokes aren’t my favorite kind of jokes… but they’re a solid #2.


JOKE #3
Did you hear?! NASA finally was able to construct a restaurant on the moon?! I’m not certain it’s going to last long though. I’ve heard it has great food, but no atmosphere.


JOKE #4
Do you know how to find the tallest building in each city? Look for the library—it has the most stories.


JOKE #5
Did you know, statistically, a football stadium is always the hottest after every game ends? That’s because all the fans left.


JOKE #6
Did you know, in America, making fun of the metric system can get you in legal trouble? In fact, if you mock it, you may be held in contempt of quart.


JOKE #7
How can you tell a female ant from a male ant? You put them in water. If the ant sinks, girl ant. If the ant floats, buoyant.


JOKE #8
I found a wooden shoe in my toilet today. It was clogged!


JOKE #9
What happened when a ship full of red sailors ran into a ship full of blue sailors?—they were marooned!


JOKE #10
How much does a hipster weigh?—an Instagram.


Welp! There you have it. Our favorite dad jokes, one right after the other. As you wipe away your tears of laughter, let’s all take a moment to appreciate the brilliant dad brains that dreamt up these whoppers. It takes a specific kind of mind to be this creative.

attydallas3: Prayers please for my roommate Pam, folks .. She was riding early this a.m. in the car of a g/f of hers on the way to have a bit of fun when they were t-boned hard in the passenger side by a young gal that ran a red light. My roommate had to be cut out of the car (a VW model) and has sustained multiple fractures (no internal injuries though, thank God). She has been battling end-stage liver disease already for close to two years, and was injured badly in another accident 10 years ago .. In fact she has fractured her same foot she did in the earlier accident. Her g/f, Shelly, fortunately did not sustain serious injuries, although her right arm looks like it has been stuck in a meat grinder, I guess due to all the airbags going off on it (?) What makes me really mad is that she has been in the ER at one of the largest hospitals here and, 14 hours later, they do not have her assigned to a room still. How can they be that full up? Thanks ... &:-) Paul
