Good thing I was thinking botanically because I had jo idea whether that singer was LANA or LArA.Jim Kingdonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857308320156877253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-30741304989502100572021-01-30T09:44:49.358-05:002021-01-30T09:44:49.358-05:00It took me a long while to figure out why the endi...It took me a long while to figure out why the ending of each themer was the way it was. And I had SAIDido for a while, instead of SAIDYES, which didn't help at all with the tricky AAVERAGE or HOTMESSILY. In the end, though, I did chuckle at the theme, and overall, I thought this was a fine Thursday.Horace Fawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676932991883111336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-49889840692823160022021-01-30T08:35:26.932-05:002021-01-30T08:35:26.932-05:00I didn't love this one as much as Colum did, b...I didn't love this one as much as Colum did, but it was OK. I used NETZERO, and remember carefully keeping track of my time online back then. At first, it was free for unlimited dial-up access, then there was a time limit, which may have been ten hours per month or something, after which a charge would occur. After a little more time, and much more competition, the time limit went away, but a monthly charge was initiated for basic access, at which time the name was meaningless. I also remember RENE from "Deep Space Nine" having seen all of the "Star Trek" series all the way through in order now (except for "The Animated Series" which I am now watching and which is terrible), but he also starred in "Benson" for its run. His character was OK in DSN, but I preferred Major Kira. 20:03Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
