Hee hee! I read that a bit too quickly and I thought you posted you were having breakfast with James Scott and he told you EJ was going to back on Days!

I'd probably get a bit twitterpated from that myself!

 

LOL, sometimes misspelling jumps out at you like an errant grey hair - not that I have personal experience with that, either.

 

LOL, make it a point to keep her updated no matter what she says! Pretty soon she'll be back.

I used to be addicted to Guiding Light, in no small part because of Roger, but then when Michael Zaslow got ALS IRL and was fired from the show? I was pretty angry and gave it up. LOL, I'm sure I could go back and all would be forgiven, but... no.

 

See, there you go. They lost me as a viewer and... POOF!

It goes to show how your life can move on, though. Things I think I've been away from for a few months have really been *years*. LOL, One of my best friend's sons is getting married, and I'm the boy's Godmother. She started having her children years before I did, and I remember her pregnancy, and her son from being a baby through middle school, but now? He sent pictures of himself and his fiancee and he's turned in to a big man with a full beard, and she's a beautiful young woman with a great smile who exudes joy! Kind of shocking to see who I remember as a lanky boy who liked baseball all of a sudden looking ilke Paul Bunyan. It'll be fun to catch up at the wedding, but I just can't *believe* how much time has slipped by. I'd better get back to work before I start getting depressed.

 

What I thought was memorable about the Quayle situation was that the little boy said, "I knew he was wrong, but I didn't say anything because he is the Vice President". What a mature boy, and what a statement about humanity.

 

I don't remember that one, it was on *before my time*!!. Ahhhhhh! I feel like a fresh spring daisy all of a sudden! Thanks!

 

The Dems really DO want to change the Supreme Court.

"
WASHINGTON—Democratic lawmakers plan to introduce legislation on Thursday that would add four seats to the Supreme Court, an initiative that has slim hopes of passage but reflects progressives’ impatience with President Biden’s cautious approach toward overhauling a court that turned to the right during the Trump administration.

Last week, Mr. Biden signed an executive order establishing a 36-member commission to report back within six months on possible changes to the Supreme Court’s membership, jurisdiction and lifetime terms. Mr. Biden appointed former Obama White House Counsel Bob Bauer and Yale law professor Cristina Rodriguez as co-chairmen of the commission; other members include many widely respected scholars, including some noted conservatives.

“We need more than a commission to restore integrity to the court,” said Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts, who is co-sponsoring the legislation with the House Judiciary Committee chairman, Rep. Jerrold Nadler of New York, and Reps. Hank Johnson of Georgia and Mondaire Jones of New York."

At least Pelosi hasn't taken leave of her senses:

"Speaker Nancy Pelosi Thursday said the House will not vote on a Judiciary Committee proposal to pack the U.S. Supreme Court with an additional four Justices
“No,” Pelosi said when a reporter asked if she would be taking up fellow Democrat Jerry Nadler’s proposal to increase the court to 13 justices.


“I have no plans to bring it to the floor,” Pelosi said.

Nadler, who is chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said he planned to make an announcement Thursday that he would introduce legislation to increase the court. Democrats want to add additional Justices appointed by President Joe Biden in order to blunt the impact of the three Justices appointed by President Donald Trump.

But Pelosi, of California, said she is leaving it up to President Biden, who recently signed an executive order creating a commission to examine expanding the court.

“I support the president’s commission, to study such a proposal,” Pelosi said, adding that the House is busy working on infrastructure and other major legislation. “I don’t know that it is a good idea or a bad idea. I think it’s an idea that should be considered and I think the president is taking the right approach, to have a commission study such a thing."

I like the idea of lifetime appointments, but would add in a mandatory retirement age - say 75 or so. That would give us unbiased justices as well as a reasonable assurance most of them would have all their faculties when deciding cases.
