All right, when I head home this weekend, I'll borrow my dad's digital camera and take a few photos (it's not quite done yet, but we're darn close). And then I'll see if I can get them posted somehow or other.

Mom called me on my cell phone as I was heading back from my internship. She was gushing that Scooter (as we had him on the quilt) was cute...oh, dear, now I'm really going to have the girls around here clamoring to see the quilt.
We're now shooting for a deadline of next Wednesday (the day before Thanksgiving) to get it done.

Wow, that's terrific Erin!

I seem to be having some sort of problem with youtube. I tried to play the clip several times, and then tried to go to the homepage to try and find it myself, but I don't seem to be getting anything on the page. Could someone else please try it for me and see what happens? I'll try it again tomorrow. Thanks.

Yeah, youtube is weird for me too sometimes. Like one minute there will be a list of clips on a page, and then I go back to the page two seconds later, and the clips are completely different. I hope you figure it out, Fragglemuppet!

Wow, there are a lot of 1980s Sesame Street clips going up lately. It's a genuine flashback! But here's one I've never seen before, featuring "Leo, The Party Monster." You might remember him from one of the photos on "Your Face!"

I really felt sorry for Leo for awhile there! Though, I'm not sure why he's holding his "Party line" show in the middle of the street with phone booths! I know they didn't have cell phones back then, but doesn't he live somewhere? Lol

A Party Monster was an interesting idea. I wonder if the writers were sitting there thinking, "Gee, who else but Richard could possibly play this?"

I really liked what he said about discussions though. Sometimes you'll have people who don't agree with you. Everyone has the right to speak their mind. And you'll always find at least one person who agrees with you! Everyone who posts on a message board could benefit from watching this clip! Anyone agree?

Amazing, they were really trying to teach specific, thoughtful lessons in these past episodes.

Oh yes, I absolutely agree!
And I also agree that there was much more of an emphasis on interpersonal type lessons in the 80's then there is now.

No, I most certainly don't agree with you! :wink: No, you're right... that lesson could definitely come in handy for people who post on message boards, and for anyone throughout everyday life, too.

It's true, this is a rully great and cute clip, and another very important lesson in it. I find it so interesting to see these clips. Thanks for posting this, too!

Yes, "too" is right!
But if 2 is right, is 1 left?
:confused:
:wink: But seriously, Heralde is truly the queen of the links!

Guys, I've got a photo of Richard's AIDS quilt up. It's not done yet but it looks pretty nice. Look under Fan Fiction and Fan Art.

I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!

It's so beautiful. Richard would be, like, extraordinarily proud.
