I think this definitely gives me the OK to listen to rap music without getting funny looks.

Had to google that one Ang. If I have ever known the name, which I doubt, CRS took it long ago:}

I wonder what I need to do to get the chief of staff of the ku klux klan to follow me on Twitter. I think this is an opportunity to finally create racial harmony.

I have almost every Time Magazine cover from 1923 to current. What can I do with them? I thought, maybe a little thing where you put in your birthday, and it finds what the Time magazine cover was when you were born, but that seems very generic, like something MyYearBook did in 2005 or something.

I had both of your Time covers picked out based on the birthdays you put in my Skem9 clone, and I uploaded them to imgur, and I went to look for mine, when I realized I got the date format on the filenames backward, so the covers I picked out weren't accurate. At this juncture, you can go find your own Time magazine covers.

Geesh B, I'm the old one, I'm the one that's supposed to do things backwards...well anyway, that will be my excuse for doing so little....are you serious about the time magazine covers....digital or actual physical magazines...or are you pulling my leg again? Ref to the chief of staff of the kkk, he's much to busy to tweet you. He's up to his sheet top trying to keep the fight going. There is harmony and there is harmony. Don't think it will ever be achieved. I heard (or read) once that there were two types of people... 1) Racist and 2) Those that say they aren't racist. The older I get the more I believe that.

Cool. I know I ask dumb questions, but we were in the antique business for 15 years. I sold a lot of magazines and actually bought a lifetime, lol, of local newspapers that had been boxed up in an attic. Very interesting and we had tons of fun with those....and sold bunches of them. So, sometimes I have ulterior motives for my questions:} And also, I know a former grand dragon from the 60 and 70s. Lives within miles of me. He's far too old to tweet, but come visit me and I'll get you a meet and greet with him, lmfbo:}

The only dumb question is the one that isn't asked. I like stuff like that. I love datasets and statistics, especially time-based stuff like old newspapers.

Is his name Daniel Carver, by chance? That's really the only KKK guy I'm familiar with.

No, he is a McLamb, no relation - different set of dogs:} A friend of mine and I spent hours going through those papers. We evens found lots of birth announcements of people we knew. For our big family get together that year, along with everyone's Christmas gift they each got a paper of the month/date that they were born or the closest paper to their birth date, wrapped and beribboned prettily. It was very entertaining to see what was happening on that important date.

Sorry. Hope this one will be better. Mine has just been one of those frustrating, can't accomplish anything or do anything to please anyone weeks. What's up, anything I can do?
