Soupy Sales

I can remember coming home from school and watching Soupy on TV as a child. My friends also liked him as well. He had a huge following here in Detroit, and did a lot for the community.

This guy inspired me to take up the guitar when I was 17, thus enriching my life in so many ways...

The guitar helped me serenade my now wife the day we met, is a source of happiness entertaining people, and inspired me to write songs.Thank you Ace Frehley. R.I.P.

Programming garage door opener Gen Jones style

So my boyfriend keeps his motorcycles in the garage and is setting up a new door opener app on his phone. He’s programming it thus: The open command is “open the pod bay doors, Hal.” The response: “I’m afraid I can’t do that, Dave.” And the rejoinder is “Dave’s not here.” Then it plays the 2001 A Space Odyssey theme.

Veronica Lake, was an American film, stage, and television actress mainly in the 40s.

Lake was best known for her femme fatale roles in films noir with Alan Ladd during the 1940s, her peek-a-boo hairstyle, and films such as Sullivan's Travels (1941) and I Married a Witch (1942). By the late 1940s, Lake's career began to decline because of alcoholism. She made only one film in the 1950s, but had several guest appearances on television. She died at the age of 50 in 1972.

Its official

I posted last week about downsizing into a townhome. Got confirmation today. I’ve been accepted by the HOA. I am ready to close at a moment notice and start the remodeling process. I am so excited to never ever worry about a sprinkler system a pool or weeds in the grass ever again it’s not my job anymore.🤣🤣🤣😊😊😊

Thoughts after comments, first of all thank you to all the kind comments and congratulations. Greatly appreciated. I made this decision purposely I want to live in a neighborhood where people tend to keep their property up and maintain a safe cohesive community. Not all HOA‘s are Nazi community trolls that we see on Instagram.

Remember When...your kids (or you) were obsessed with Beannie Babies in the 90s?

I still have a bunch of them that my kids had to have. Not sure why I keep them--I guess I'm hoping one of them will be worth something someday since some once sold to collectors for thousands of dollars!
