I’m 67, grew up on Long Island, was a punk and a biker, worked as a union printer in NYC for a long time, was a female foreman, which was a novelty then, spent some time on the streets because of drug addiction, got clean, moved to Portsmouth NH in 1989, no helmet law, married my husband in 1995, and my 24 y o daughter is starting graduate school this year. We live in an old farmhouse we renovated, that we could never afford now. I grew up a Democrat, and in the last 10 years I have become a poll worker and a community activist. Don’t crush that dwarf, hand me the pliers, is so great and I can recite the Nick Danger intro from memory.
NOT in my memory: what I did yesterday, where I left the TV remote and directions to anywhere. But I CAN recite the dialogue in Snatch, even Brad Pitt’s unintelligible Irish *gypsy* language. My daughter can quote most of Moonstruck. Nothing I know is significant enough to be a Jeopardy question, but I’d be good at a trivia match at a party. However, since I have no friends IRL, I don’t get invited to many parties, which is fine because I hate people.
Addendum: At the last party I attended, a young woman I’d been chatting with TURNED HER CHAIR AROUND so she didn’t have to talk to me. Ergo, I don’t go to parties.
Despite all my flaws, my 4 dogs think I’m perfect and who am I to disagree? They all hate Trump , NEVER voted Republican and when Cupcake and Lulu stop shitting all over the house, life would be pretty perfect.
Addendum to the addendum: It’s no fun being a name dropper when nobody knows the names I’m dropping. “I worked for Alan King for years.” *Who’s Alan King?* Very famous comedian, he made more appearances on Ed Sullivan than anyone else.” *Who’s Ed Sullivan?*
Alan King did a movie called King of comedy? it was partially filmed in a building in NYC that I worked in so I got to watch him being filmed walking out of the building. he was a great comedian.
Yes, he was in King of Comedy and several other films. He starred in a Sidney Lumet movie, Just Tell Me What You Want with Ali McGraw and Myrna Loy (playing ME!) I also ran his annual tennis tournament at Caesar’s Palace.
I could tell you a million things about him but I won’t speak ill of the dead.
thank you. no need. we always want to believe the best of the people- stars, politicians, sports figures, and others who we watch or admire for their achievements, but we need to remember no one is perfect and most of us less than. we are after all, just bozos on this bus.

LOL!
Moonstruck is wonderful.
I can recite Clockwork Orange even though I haven't seen it in decades.
Love Nick Danger!! But "Waiting for the Electrician, or Someone Like Him" is my personal favorite 😍
