I had hoped that when I came back, we could just put this behind us. We obviously have a gap in our communications, since my initial and subsequent posts on this thread were not made to incite, yet you see them that way. As for this Disagree with them if you wish, but please disagree with the opini...

And I thought that my suggestion to PM me first if you disagree with my posts was a good one. And if I can't explain to you in private why I should have made that post, then go ahead and disagree with my publicly. Why mess up this lovely board with this sort of petty crap? Why make every disagreemen...

Same old Ith... You're the one that bumped up this thread from the dead and accused me of lashing out at you. And just to refresh your memory, you're the one that struck out at me first in that other thread. I wasn't the instigator of that mess. Now how about we stay out of each other's threads and ...

Welcome back Ith. I don't consider this thread to have been created to "lash out at you in the heat of the moment." I didn't want to sully your vent thread and just wanted to state my thoughts on the subject of interacting with others on an internet message board. At the time, you were the only with...

Hi Chris and welcome! I've never heard of the Adult Children of Alcoholics syndrome before. I'm familiar with the teen group for that situation. My boyfriend's dad was an abusive alcoholic parent up until the point where his mom divorced him. My mom is verbally abusive when she drinks. Both don't th...

Uh-oh...does this mean I'm turning into a LIT memorabilia geek? :shock: Tom xx Only if you buy TWO copies of the Japanese versions to keep one set in permanently in cellophane for your LiT shrine.

I'll bet that Scarlett knows a lot of musicians being who she is, so it must have been in part due to the LiT connection. Again, given what she sang and the venue, it's not surprising that her singing sounded like crap. Outdoor venues are very hard to have good sound quality at, plus consider the eq...

Thanks for the link! I hate that outfit even more now. lol. Anyway, it takes time to develop a good onstage presence and she wasn't given much to work with just singing 'honey' at the end. I also know from being a frustrated rock musician that sometimes the monitors on stage can be lacking in terms ...

I watched Foxes (1980) last night (there weren't a lot of choices on tv). I was pleasantly surprised to like it a lot. Definitely a period 80's movie and it made me very grateful to have grown up in the Boston suburbs and not in LA. I really like Jodie Foster as an actress. The movie did make me fee...
