But who has a VCR anymore? I'm behind the times a lot, but at least I bought a tv with a DVD combo so I wouldn't have to hook anything up. Blueray's just too expensive for me to consider.

Anyway, didn't you love the show? There was one episode where a lady thought she was adopting a child, but she got a boy robot delivered to her home instead. I remember so many of the stories, at least portions. And it would be nice if I could leave that treasure to the Catholic Workers when they inherit my house someday. 256 shows! Even from a strictly secular perspective, they were all works of art. The one with Randolph Mantooth as Adam and Keenan Wynn as God split my sides, so funny. Though of course Martin Sheen's work could hardly be matched.

And talk about liberal slants now and then. Once the Trinity was depicted with the Holy Spirit as a black woman. Quite a statement for those days.

BTW, thanks for the video. It's awfully late for me tonight, so I'm going to save it for tomorrow morning. The anticipation will bring sweet dreams after a very stressful day.

Actually I've searched high and low for years for DVD versions of the Paulist fathers' classic tv show, "Insight". I loved it because it was so allegorical and sometimes very surreal. Martin Sheen as a young man made quite a few episodes with them. A few years ago they put the series out on video, but I don't have a video player anymore and want a sturdier format anyway. So I do periodic searches myself, of course; yet at this point I'm willing to ask anyone who might stumble across a DVD entire series set to let me know. I don't think I ever enjoyed a tv show so much, not even Mother Angelica and she was a real hoot.

UPDATE: Naturally I did another big search tonight, and now it appears the series might indeed be released on DVD before I die at least. Perhaps if people simply contacted paulistproductions.com directly and stressed their own wish for DVDs of the classic series (not the new one they want to fund) it might do some good. Trust me, the new can never equal the old. How are you going to get Keenan Wynn and Bob Newhart to play God again, and Martin Sheen as Adam about 9 times? What can top that? Nothing! It was a howl with a good lesson sneaked in.

Perhaps I'll find out when I get to watch the video. But right now the tv is blaring tornado news and I hear we're under tornado warning already. I need to get offline. But today was rather stressful for me, and this has been a better way to cope than some methods I could've chosen.

Since I couldn't afford Calais, ME for retirement I moved here in Tornado Alley. But one consolation besides the gardening zone being the same as southern ME at least, is the Indian legend that our town will never take a bad storm hit. The tornadoes barrel down on us and then veer off at the last second, which I attribute to topography. We get awful straight-line winds though, which can be almost as destructive. That's why I won't have any huge trees in the front yard where the prevailing wind direction would blow them down on the house. Lighter trees at a maximum of 20' give plenty of shade and aren't so dangerous.

Gotta go now. Thanks for the OP. I'll watch the video when it's safe to turn the computer back on. Times like these are when I wish I already had a little battery-operated Chromebook for comfort.

The GOP governors who allowed stimulus money to be spent on highways in their states took down any signs reminding motorists where the funding came from.

I consider mail from decent correspondents private, but when a jerk uses it to snarl at me, I post it in public for all to see! (as if you didn't know phlegm's attitude anyway) Question: does derogatory mail get the writer busted for anything? Skinner???

Here's what phlem (who can't even spel that wurd rit) wrote to me:

Usually there's a report filed for this blatant breach of the rules.

As what happened to me. I guess your better than me.

Cheers.

Kick little old ladies like IA in the shins, buster, and I kick back.

Nobody does. That's the burr under your saddle!

And you and Cha and others have given me so many. Thank you!
