Channel Update Info
Hi Everybody,
I've been "rearranging the furniture" on my channel home page.
There is now a section called "Videos" which should just be all of how ever many thousand or so of them in the order that they were uploaded.
We’ve go the "This Day in History" playlist, which contains over 1700 episodes as I write this memo in May of 2024.
Then there's the "How About That," playlist that I recently created, where I post shorter, single-subject clips from my other videos, because sometimes one just wants to see a particular subject without having to wade through a whole video. These are short, but exceed the time constraint for the #SHORTS.
There’s a playlist called "There's A Word For That," where I...

    So called "George Burns" wasn't even his real name. He was born Nathan Birnbaum. He obviously sold-out his birthname, as the result of pressure from deceitful & mercenary 'Hollywood' moguls?! The fact that he allowed them to change his name, shows that he was ashamed of his heritage and that money was more important than family pride & heritage.

    Love more on Cajuns. My grandmother was a Cajun from Lafayette Louisiana her name was Marie Elyse Broussard. She raised her children in the southeast of Texas which is the Cajun-y part of Texas. I would go with her to check the crab cages in the bay. We always had gumbo at every family function. We grandchildren were in charge of shelling and beheading of the shrimp. My hands smelled like shrimp for days afterwards 😂

    I have a word for the day, which I don’t hear as much lately. The word is: doodle or doodling. I suppose that there are people who still doodle. Additionally, and on top of that, I would like for you to keep an eye out for any good thing about Vespasian. He is one of my top 10 favorite Roman Emperors. Or is it Vespatian. Anyways, you know who I’m talking about. I think that he was a much superior emperor to Nero or Caligula.

I thought I had a copy of one and two, hadn't known about the third, but I can't find them. I'd like to have all three, but the originals can get expensive! I'll have to check Vintage Stock when I have time and money, they do a brisk business in secondhand books, movies, CDs, shows, games and related. We have two in town.

    Morning! If you have time, would you please do some word-of-the-day detective work? First, I nominate "render" for word of the day. Second, I looked up the meaning of render to prove a point to someone, and found that the meaning to tear your clothes (like ashes and sackcloth rendering clothes, tearing them apart in a big emotion, not just snagging something and tearing a piece of cloth off), doesn't exist! Rendering as in melting down is a thing. "He rendered his clothes when she said she wanted a divorce," isn't???? I just remembered the word "rent," for tearing clothes like that, and of course there's "tore," but I could swear I've heard render used for a synonym of those words too. Have you come across "render" being used like that, or have I been dreaming? 🤔🤔. It's ok if I've dreamt it. It's going to nag at me until I know, though! 🤓😁 Have a great weekend! Theresa

    • @VickiBowers
      @VickiBowers 24 дня назад

      There's render, and there's also rend, and rend fits the definition you were looking for (past tense of rend is rent) . How about let's take a look at both of those this week, Wednesday and Thursday. We'll do Rend first, on Wednesday.👍🏻

    • @VickiBowers
