ElicBxn I, personally, after learning where the 'white' in weddings came from, just made me want to slap anyone talking about it. And, honestly, when my MOTHER leaned over and whispered the bride was pregnant was the last blow! I mean, I know the youngest daughter...

That's a bit disrespectful, like he has been holding out. If you understand this guy at all he never writes for money and if he was holding out, it was for his family. Homiie looks good, sounds good. You get worried sometimes, in...

ElicBxn Are you talking about Ozzy Osbourne? He didn't live to 130, he was 76, he just looked like he was 130. I can't say I'm a big fan of the man, but he did a lot of stuff. I heard all the cr... bad stuff he was said to have done... back in the day. I didn't...

ElicBxn @valherma00 It is like those people who love to play video games, but adopt a high energy dog. Boe is a high energy dog, but we have a back yard. It is why we suspect the original owner was in an apartment. He had never been taught how to walk properly on a...

ElicBxn I sometimes watch those. I mostly like the miniature channels. You see, I'm 72 and I'm trying to cut back on things I need to make and just go with the entertainment of the program. The program I watched was "How Germany DeNazified" The date was near the...

ElicBxn I don't normally try to correct a video. But there is a HUGE difference between 1943 and 1953, or 1952 to more accurate. I have suspect that the time after Stalin's death was probably also used to getting some of his supporters out of the picture.

ElicBxn I don't watch TV. On the whole I can't find what I want to see. I have a lot of science channels I watch on YouTube, archeology and learning things I didn't know I didn't know.
