....I watched a Vanilla Ice Project the other night, where the re-do of a bathroom cost 192, 000 bucks....FOR A FRAGGING BATHROOM!!!!!.....
Good Ol Freda -- Loved this. Love her. She was the secretary to Brian Epstein and the Beatles.

Watched a Documentarie about Fake/Hate Postings, in Social Networks today...very Interesting.
A Question to the People in the US (and maybe Canada)
Does there show up a Message, like "This posting has been read by a third Party and we don't think content is true" or so,
if there is a doubtful Posting, lets say on Fa--FFFaaaceb (you know what Site i mean) ??

Had a long plane ride, and there was an HBO-produced movie about Robin Williams.
It was quite good, with interviews and stuff going back to childhood, looking at his substance abuse issues, and his eventual degradation. It also gave me more perspective on, and sympathy for, his death (which, no lying, still hurts).

One of my favorite documentaries. I've probably watched it at least 3 times. I got a kick out of Freda telling the story of her making John Lennon drop to his knees and ask for forgiveness after he “accidentally” fired her.
God Knows Where I Am. Lori Singer narrates the journal of a New Hampshire woman found dead in a vacant house after winter's thaw. The heartbreaking part of the story is how she got there and her documented last days. There is some irritating visual repetition but the story is engrossing and haunting.
John McCain: For Whom the Bell Tolls
I didn't always agree with Mr. McCain. In fact, there were times I found him downright disgusting. But, this is a very good documentary to try and understand a very complicated man.
And he WAS a war hero. He deserves respect for that.

Grand Designs: Australia
I love these shows. To see the architecture, creativity -- styles -- of another country from the ground up is just fantastic.
In my next life, I'm going to build this amazing home of quality. Not huge. These McMansions are a waste of space and time and resources in my opinion. It will be smaller (not crowded) comfortable and full of creative, beautiful, quality details.

The Innocent Man
The judicial system is so messed up. I was subpoenaed in a vehicular manslaughter case (I think that's what the guy was charged with) as a witness.
Both sides of this play were lying. And I knew it. Defense and prosectution -- lying. I was waiting for the prosecution to ask me the right question and I would have blown the defense out of the water. And I was their witness!
It's all theatrics and unscrupulous practices.
Always at the Carlyle
This was really interesting to me. Old Hollywood and keeping secrets. And I loved the three bars attached to the hotel. Beautiful art and atmosphere.
Has Stephen King ever stayed at the Carlyle Moderator

He stayed there for a number of years. IIRC, I got to stay there once as well when I had to be there for a Haven Board meeting. He switched to a different hotel when the autograph hunters hanging around the hotel when he was in NYC got to be a problem.
What did you think about the Hotel? It is filled with a lot of characters who have been there for years. Did you meet Dwight, the stuttering concierge? I loved that such a ritzy hotel embraced him till he retired.
Did you step into any of the lounges? Historical businesses each and every one.
About all I explored of the hotel was my room and the lobby. Very swanky in an old money, art deco/Hollywood glam sort of way if you know what I mean. I'm pretty sure I didn't meet Dwight or if I did, I don't remember it.
Yes, I know exactly what you mean. Watching the documentary was fascinating.
When was this? Like full time for years or just when he was in the city. Is this the one where all the celebrities stay
Not sure if I'm answering your question, but think this was it: he stayed there for a number of years whenever he was in NYC, not that he was staying at The Carlyle full-time for a number of years. That would have been in the early to mid 2000s.
There are probably a lot of celebrities that stay there, but that can be said of quite a few of the NYC hotels so not sure if it's "the" one.
Yeh thanks Mis mod. That does answer my question..
