What's striking is that she performed for all these presidents.





Yet it was this guy who gave her a medal of freedom.

10 minutes. I win.



No, wait. Allow me:

"Yeah, you win the No Class Award for the month!"

RIP, Angela - really enjoyed your work on MSW.

Great actress!

I stayed in the inn in Mendocino that was used as the Cabot Cove Inn for "Murder, She Wrote"

I had no idea at the time I booked it that it was even filmed in Mendocino.

Not the biggest fan of the show, but a fan of Angela Lansbury ever since I saw National Velvet, where she played Liz Taylor's older sister.

The Manchurian Candidate and Beauty and the Beast were other favorite roles.

She only won a Tony (6 of them) but she was nominated for every other EGOT category.

Amazing talent!

Hagrid knew too much and offended the wrong wizards. Either that or his dragon got him.

Poor man. He had to have the same last name as the only Coltrane that mattered.

Argument FOR having children = increased population = increased consumption and production = increased GDP. In other words, it's an economic plus.

Argument AGAINST having children =




Good luck!

On the micro level, I'm darn glad I had kids. Love you two!

On the macro level, most of the world's problems can be at least partially attributed to the world's large and still-growing population.

My wife and I had no great philosophical debate about whether to have children or not. Perhaps I was too picky and too much of a wallflower, but I never found someone I wanted to marry until I was around 40. I met my wife almost by accident in an online forum, we exchanged emails and then phone calls and soon found we hit it off together. Unfortunately, I had moved to the Washington DC area to attend graduate school and it turned out she was living in Hayward. We had both lived in Oakland for years just a few miles apart and never met. Between finishing up my Masters degree and getting established in my career, we had a long distance relationship for several years before she moved to North Dakota to be with me and we got married. As a girl from the Gulf Coast (before she moved to the Bay Area), I knew she must have really loved me to want to move to North Dakota. By that time, we were in our mid 40s and even if we had wanted to have children, she had had a hysterectomy before we ever met, so children were not in the cards. I'm not sure I'd quite call it regret, but I've wondered how my life would have been different if we had children. She has always said she didn't want to have children and I was ambivalent as it is a big responsibility and I'm selfish enough to want to be free to do things without having to put my children's needs ahead of that. Maybe that's my coping strategy, I don't know, So, maybe it's just as well. Short of adoption, children couldn't happen for us anyway.

Thanks for sharing. Refreshing to read this rather than some of our other BI stuff. My wife and I had twins in the mid 80s. She was 31, I was 26. It was hard but along with marrying my wife it's been the best thing I've ever done. I can imagine life without them and it wouldn't be nearly as interesting, rewarding, challenging and fun, basically, all the emotions that comprise a decent life. Good luck to you.

Thanks Tony. I probably wouldn't have shared all that, but ConcordTom kept asking me about my children for some reason and after deflecting it the first time, I decided to just explain my situation to him.

I, too, appreciate the personal narrative. Too rare here.

You mentioned Muggles… 3 of my 5 girls have read the Harry Potter books many times. I can't imagine doing so once but I know all things HP, so I figured you were like me, children bringing it into your vocabulary.

I've posted this before, and I'm not sure anyone has ever listened and responded. Nonetheless, it remains an interesting study!!

My wife and I are avid readers, though I'm a piker next to her.She can read over 100 books in a year (but she doesn't do that every year). I'm at 15-20 max. We both read the Harry Potter books a couple of times even before the movies. The same for other series. We read The Hunger Games trilogy before the movies, The Game of Thrones before the HBO series (George R. R. Martin quit being lazy and finish the damn series before you die!), The Martian before the movie, etc.
