Phoning

I haven't spoken to one of my friends for several years, and I want to phone that friend but I am losing my nerve. It isn't a good thing to lose your nerve about phone, but I am one who is capable of that. Call me a scardy cat, just not to my face ☺, lol, sure wish it wouldn't happen though. Friends should always stay in touch, even if one doesn't phone then at least the other could do it, and surprise the one on the other end of the line.

Very Interesting

Wow, can't believe it, I might end up one person away for a well known celebrity, I would rather not say who it is. But maybe any if you have met me via chat on some sites, yes it could be who it is that maybe I may be one person. It is a through a certain person I know a little bit, but won't let on the person's name, don't think he would appreciate it.
Like the Kevin Bacon game, but in the Kevin Bacon game that is a few people away from anyone.

thought provoking

Movies and Cancer

I just found this out while looking up Dick Powell in Wikipedia, and was surprised to read about this cancer the cast and crew had because of the filming.
-----------------------------------------------------------
This might explain some of the early years of film, maybe it was the radiation that caused cancer in these people, then it could have also been that they were also smokers:---
Actor David Powell directed The Conqueror (1956) starring John Wayne as Genghis Khan.---The exterior scenes were filmed in St. George, Utah, downwind of US above-ground atomic tests. The cast and crew totaled 220 and of that number: 91 had developed some form of cancer by 1981and46 had died of cancer by then, including Wayne. This cancer rate is about three times higher than one would expect in a group of this size and many have argued that radioactive fallout was the cause.
