Very good…..Hope it went smoothly
08-17 18:48
Matt:
It will be HOT, but it’s typically a quieter time of the year, with schools going back
08-17 18:48
Rush:
Yes, it went well. Everyone at the sorority house was very nice and helpful. She says she’s having a good time there.
08-17 18:48
Matt:
That;s great to hear
08-17 18:49
Rush:
yes.
She was really nervous at first!
08-17 18:49
Matt:
2nd year?
08-17 18:49
Rush:
Yes.
First at this college.
She transferred.
08-17 18:49
Matt:
No more dorm, into a sorority…
08-17 18:50
Rush:
Yes. She was in a sorority at the other school for the second semester.
08-17 18:50
Matt:
So she had a idea on what to expect, which is a good thing
08-17 18:51
Rush:
Yes. Except that this is a bigger house…more girls…than the other one.
Only for sophomores.
08-17 18:52
Matt:
Gotcha!……Have you heard from Steve? I was thinking about him and Hawaii
With the hurricane
08-17 18:52
Rush:
So, next year she will move to an apartment, I guess. Somehow connected with the sorority?
Yes, Steve is okay. His power was out for ten hours!
08-17 18:53
Matt:
Great to hear. I heard the top of the mountains there had snow with 100+ winds!
Crazy!
08-17 18:53
Rush:
Probably the Big Island.
08-17 18:54
Matt:
Yes
08-17 18:54
Rush:
Yes.
08-17 18:54
Matt:
Any news from M & R?
08-17 18:54
Rush:
They have a mountain with enough elevation.
NO! I hope that they are all right.
Maybe they will show tonight.
08-17 18:55
Matt:
That blew my mind when I visited the 1st time, seeing snow in Hawaii
08-17 18:55
Rush:
YES!
Not what one would expect!
08-17 18:55
Matt:
NO
08-17 18:55
Rush:
This is the title of our extra tonight: “SIGHTSEEING THROUGH TV 1948 VISIT A TV STUDIO”
08-17 18:56
Rush:
It runs about 5 minutes…
This one sort of relates to tonight’s movie.
08-17 18:57
Matt:
Ah, I like this film……Reminds me of my mother in law saying she would sit in front and watch the radio as a child
08-17 18:57
Louise:
Good evening gentlemen
08-17 18:57
Matt:
Hello Louise!
08-17 18:57
Rush:
Steve has been able to get in touch with a member of the Oland family. He is open to the placing of a star on Hollywood Blvd.
Hello, Louise!
08-17 18:57
Louise:
I am trying out a new setup: chat on laptop and movie on the big screen TV
08-17 18:57
Matt:
Outstanding!
08-17 18:58
Rush:
Good evening to you!
How are you this evening…and yours?
08-17 18:58
Matt:
That’s what I do Louise!
08-17 18:58
Louise:
Hubby is in Philadelphia so I can hog the TV tonight
08-17 18:58
Rush:
That is sort of what I do, Louise.
AH!
08-17 18:59
Louise:
The saddest thing tonight is I went outside to fly a kite and the wind stopped dead.
08-17 18:59
Rush:
The eye of the wind circulation?
08-17 18:59
Matt:
lol…..never fails
08-17 18:59
Louise:
there will be other nights to try
08-17 19:00
Rush:
15 minutes to go…
08-17 19:00
Matt:
I haven’t flown a kite since I was a child…..fun times
08-17 19:00
Rush:
We can watch our extra soon…
Same here.
I don’t even think we flew one with our daughters.
08-17 19:00
Louise:
Aww, you guys need to do it: so much fun and relaxing
08-17 19:01
Rush:
We were in a pretty urban situation fpr a while with them.
08-17 19:01
Rush:
I agree!
We could fly one near the river.
08-17 19:03
Rush:
I mentioned to Matt that Steve got in touch with a surviving member of the Oland family who is open to the thought of Warner Oland having a star on Hollywood Blvd.
Steve is really good at things like that!
08-17 19:03
Louise:
Any more news on that, Rush?
08-17 19:04
Rush:
That is it thus far.
Of course, the ultimate cost, if approved, would be a lot!
08-17 19:04
Matt:
It’s the most important step!
08-17 19:04
Rush:
Yes, true.
08-17 19:04

CHARLIE’S angel:
I am accompanied tonight by two (of four) adopted grandkids, ages 6 & 7. They are considerable distraction tonight; my participation will probably be limited but i am here —WE are here! —and the kids being taught by The Master is fortuitous, Confusion say.

CHARLIE’S angel:
Why wasn’t there an Eastern Union?
08-17 19:32
Godwinshelley:
House of Frankenstein was 1944 – Karloff was the Doctor in that one. And in 1945 he was in The Body Snatchers and Isle of the Dead
08-17 19:32
Austinchanfan:
I liked the body snatchers
08-17 19:32
Nothere:
I’m totally a real policeman. Not a fake.
08-17 19:33
Godwinshelley:
So those were rather big films for Karloff – thus big in general consciousness
08-17 19:33
Austinchanfan:
isle of dead I enjoyed too
08-17 19:33
Rich in Maine:
gold digger = adventuress ?
08-17 19:33
Rush:
GS…that would be what Karloff was working on at around the time of this film….yes.
08-17 19:33

08-17 19:34
Louise:

08-17 19:34
Rush:
08-17 19:34
Godwinshelley:

08-17 19:35

“Could not stand solitary confinement.”
08-17 19:36
Nothere:
And I’ve broken the cup.
08-17 19:36
HonoluLou:
Rush, what I hear was “Thank you sSo VERY much.” Not T.Y.S.M.
08-17 19:36
Godwinshelley:
I always regret we don’t have a big film version of Arsenic – though there was a television version with Tony Randall as Mortimor with Karloff you can find on DVD
08-17 19:37
Nothere:
ooddles and oddles? Nope. I only use one oddles.
08-17 19:37

benjamin and birmingham
08-17 19:37
Godwinshelley:

08-17 19:37

Due to butter rationing, margerine came into play as a substitute! Yellow coloring was included to make it look more like butter!
Poor BB!
08-17 19:37
Austinchanfan:

08-17 19:37
Rush:

08-17 19:38
Rush:
