..I was afraid it would be a cheap GOT knock-off for a cash grab. I was hoping I was wrong.

Yahoo finally started allowing comments to articles again. They have a review panel to screen comments that they find "objectionable". Want an idea of how biased that panel is? Look at my response to the Liz Cheney article that was REJECTED for" not meeting community standards": Your comment on "Liz Cheney Gets Hollywood Boost as Jeffrey Katzenberg Leads in Industry Donations" violates the community guidelines and has been rejected GetReal718 Thu 18 Aug 2022 05:15:09 PM ...like they say, a fool and his money.....

I am also a huge GoT fan (been to the filming sites in N. Ireland, Iceland, Spain, Malta and Croatia). I have not really been enthusiastic about "House of the Dragon" partly because it's a prequel well before the Song of Ice and Fire and second because of the shitty last two seasons of GoT. Did you enjoy the first episode?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert who became a household name — and the subject of partisan attacks — during the COVID-19 pandemic, announced Monday he will depart the federal government in December after more than five decades of service. Fauci, who serves as President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser, has been the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and chief of the NIAID Laboratory of Immunoregulation. He was a leader in the federal response to HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases even before the coronavirus hit. “I will be leaving these positions in December of this year to pursue the next chapter of my career,” Fauci said in a statement, calling those roles “the honor of a lifetime.” Fauci became the face of the government response to COVID-19 as it hit in early 2020, with frequent appearances on television news and at daily press conferences with White House officials, including then-President Donald Trump. But as the pandemic deepened, Fauci fell out of favor with Trump and his officials when his urgings of continued public caution clashed with the former president's desire to return to normalcy and to promote unproven therapies for the virus.

Ana, My deepest condolences for your loss. I hope it helps that you have brightened the lives of MANY Zep fans here on this site by sharing your story. God bless you and your son!

Thanks slave to zep, I have a new bumper sticker to print!

Thanks Sam!

Arthur! Welcome aboard and thank you for adding your side of the mystery. Enjoy your fame!

No need to apologize Ana. As you can tell from MOST of the posts on here, your contribution is most appreciated! Thanks again for sharing your story.

...with Vince GIlligan in charge, I'm not too worried! Can't wait to start the final season this weekend! I'll let you know when I finish!

You are so right! I'm re-watching the earlier season and I'm blown away by the story, the acting and the production! Like "Breaking Bad", it will be sorely missed, but unlike "Game of Thrones", I think they'll stick the landing with the final episode..

DAMN..that REALLY sucks! I saw Grim Reaper back at the 1985 Texas Jam in the Cotton Bowl, They were the second act to play (Victory opened the show). Steve's vocals were phenomenal - he sounded just like on the record! And Nick's guitar playing was one of the best of the day - and that was a day that included Ted Nugent and Ritchie Blackmore! Reaper...take a frickin' holiday already...you've stolen more than enough from us this year!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Monday he has tested positive for COVID-19, is experiencing mild symptoms and will quarantine at home. It's the second time Austin has gotten the coronavirus. In a statement, Austin, 69, said his is fully vaccinated and has received two boosters. He said he'll quarantine for the next five days in accordance with CDC guidelines and “will retain all authorities and plan to maintain my normal work schedule virtually from home.” Austin said his last in-person contact with President Joe Biden was on July 29. In January, Austin also contracted COVID and had received a booster in October.

I think it's kinda sad that someone comes on here, reveals herself as the mystery girl that Zep fans have been wondering about for years and is now being questioned so rudely. When she first posted, I was skeptical and embarrassingly asked if there was some way she could prove it (can't believe everything you read on the internet, ya know). But when Ana posted the pic of that infamous hoodie - any doubt I had was gone! I truly appreciate Ana contributing her story to this forum and hope recent postings don't cause her to regret the reveal! .

Finished "Stranger Things" this weekend.....I thought it was pretty good, but much darker than previous seasons (not recommended for little kiddos now!). Going back and re-watching "Better Call Saul" Season 5 before I dig in to it's final season.

I agree...it made my week! I was running up and down the halls here at work that day yelling "We found hoodie girl! We found hoodie girl!" Two people knew what I was talking about, the rest thought I'd gone nuts!

Hi Ana, Again, many thanks for stepping out and solving this decades old mystery! For posterity, I hope you write down all the details you can remember about that evening and save it with your hoody. Not necessarily to share with us on here, but we Zep fans...and future ones...we would appreciate this being documented by you so it doesn't get lost in the future. Why Robert chose you? Pretty obvious to us! 😁 That said, I believe it is extremely rare as I read somewhere that Robert and Jimmy stopped tossing out mementos like guitar picks and tambourines because they didn't like seeing (as you experienced) fans fighting over the items. Which is why, again, I think it's important for you to document as much as you can remember of that night and keep it in your family archives. Thanks again and bless you and your family.

I was crushed when I read how much of Judas Priests "Unleashed in the East" was done in the studio.....

Hot, sunny, mid-90's for the next four days...no chance for rain till Sunday.

...heh, remember when the lefties tried to have Trump removed from office under the 25th amendment for not being mentally fit enough to perform his duties of office? Their silence now is deafening!

I cannot thank you enough for sharing your story with us...you've left many of us stunned! What a story to have and share! You made my (and many others I'm sure) day yesterday. I was running around the office yesterday yelling "We found Hoodie Girl"!

I am beyond stunned! Welcome to the forum Ana!
