Weird Mood

I’m in a weird mood. Got home from church a little while ago, we finally finished Romans although I wasn’t there when they started it so okay cool. Got all my Christmas cards finished and delivered now I just need to get some stamps and mail the rest of these. What else…I’ve been praying about something. Something that has REALLY, REALLY, REALLY been on my heart. I feel like I’ve discerned it right, I feel like I’ve gotten TONS of conformation ~ I think I have. I’ve been asking the Lord is it “this” and He doesn’t answer me. Not yes. Not no. Nothing.

My discernment has always been good, now that’s not just me bragging and trying to make myself sound like a big shot it just is. And I’ve been praying for even clearer and sharper discernment for about a year now so yea I feel like I’ve got a pretty good handle on this thing but aaaahhhhhh. Half of the time I want to scream, the other half of the time I want to cry (like now) and the other half of the time I’m so joyful that nothing could bring be down b/c I KNOW it’s right. (For those of you saying, that’s 1 1/2 this is girl math get over it.)

 Sometimes I think about the conversation between Frac & Giulietta (René Bazinet & Julie Cox) in Alegria and wonder if Frac is right. Sure it’s just a movie but part of that conversation rings very true for me. Is this real or is it a figment of my imagination? Is my discernment right or is it clouded by my subconscious? And why do I feel like bursting into tears? It’s not hormones, I know what those feel like and this is certainly not them so what is it?

 

**Listening to Alegria, singing my heart out and I’ll probably start crying soon. ~ Good cry or bad cry? I don’t’ know.** ~ And yea, I can sing this.

Fear Can Be Good

A few months ago the Lord gave me this word for a friend. I posted it here and got a lot of flak for it. I was told that “fear is not of the Lord,” and while that is true what I try to tell people was that THIS is how the Lord gave me this word. He used the word “fear” so I did too. I wrote this as instructed so if you’re going to criticize this word then tell the Lord about it, DON’T post it to my comments.

The reason I’m posting this tonight is b/c I was having a conversation with someone earlier this evening and this came up so I felt that I should post it again. Who knows, perhaps the person it was intended for will actually see it this time.

 

Fear Can Be Good – 10-14-13

This evening on my way home from prayer I realized something. I realized that it’s okay to be scared, or nervous, to do something. Now most Christians will tell you that fear is wrong and that’s it’s of the devil and to rebuke it, but hold on hear me out.

When you’re scared, or nervous, about something it means that you’re not going into something half hazard. It means that you’re putting some thought into your decision because you don’t want to step out and be wrong. In that sense then fear can be a good thing.

So, my advice would be to take one step and stop. And if the ground doesn’t crumble underneath you then take one more step, stop, and wait. And you keep doing this until you know that the ground under you is solid; and then you run towards what you want!

Don’t be afraid to run towards what you want because you might just find out that it’s running towards you too.

How I've Been Feeling...

Yesterday evening I watched, what I thought, was a VERY strange video but then when I googled the lyrics I discovered that they were actually very meaningful. they actually says the things I want to say but can’t.

So what is it that I’m having so much trouble saying? I know I’ve been posting about these guys who have been coming on to me but the truth is that I don’t want any of them. Yes it’s nice to have someone flirt with me for a change but what good does it do if I’m not interested in them? Yes I’m lonely but that doesn’t mean that I have to settle for someone who doesn’t give a damn about me b/c I’m better than that!!! I want someone who’s going to love me for me and not just my parts.

Well anyway, I don’t recommend looking up this video b/c to be honest it kinda weirded me out but as I said the lyrics have a very good message in them so yea here it is.

 

[[No Light, No Light by Florence + The Machine]]
You are the hole in my head
You are the space in my bed
You are the silence in between what I thought
And what I said
 

You are the night time fear

You are the morning when it's clear
When it's over you'll start
You're my head
You're my heart

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes

I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
 

And I'd do anything to make you stay

No light, no light
No light
Tell me what you want me to say
 

Through the crowd, I was crying out

And in your place there were a thousand other faces
I was disappearing in plain sight
Heaven help me, I need to make it right
 

You want a revelation,

You wanna get it right
But, it's a conversation,
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
You want a revelation
 

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes

I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day,
You can't choose what stays and what fades away

 

And I'd do anything to make you stay

No light, no light
No light
Tell me what you want me to say

 

Would you leave me,

If I told you what I've done?
And would you need me,
If I told you what I've become?
'cause it's so easy,
To say it to a crowd
But it's so hard, my love,
To say it to you out loud

 

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes

I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day,
You can't choose what stays and what fades away

 

And I'd do anything to make you stay

No light, no light
No light
Tell me what you want me to say
 

You want a revelation,

You wanna get it right
But, it's a conversation,
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
You want a revelation
 

You want a revelation,

You wanna get it right
But, it's a conversation,
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation, some kind of resolution
Tell me what you want me to say. 

 

 

A Conversation: Frac & Giulietta

René Bazinet as “Frac” & Julie Cox as “Giulietta”

As he runs towards her he falls.

Giulietta: Are you alright?

Frac: (he laughs) I am in love.

Giulietta: With me?

Frac: (emotes a joyful squeal)

Giulietta: You’re crazy.

Frac: And you? How do you feel?

 
Giulietta: Happy. And sad. Both at the same time.

Frac: That means that you’re in love.

Saturday Meeting

Our meeting is this Saturday the 17th at 5:30 at the café (1117 N. Jackson).

Last time only one person showed up and this time that person isn’t able to make it. So if no one shows up I don’t know that I’ll keep this group open. I’ll just have to think about it b/c I’m not going to kill myself if no one’s going to show up for the meetings.

Sorry for being harsh but I don’t know what else to do. My dream is to write and make films and it’s hard to sit back and watch that dream die b/c everyone just looses interest.

I don’t know. Perhaps we should put the Doctor Who / Tomorrow People film on hold for now and work on something else? Something smaller and more suited for our small group but still keep working on B/O behind the scenes? You know, set and costume ideas and so forth?

The café is thinking about hosting a WhoviCon, not specifically for us just b/c the owners are huge Who fans. What do you guys think, is that something we would like to get involved in? Personally I think it will be good for us but we, as a group, would need to help the owners think of activities and so for to do at the Con. I thought of a costume contest and Tiffany, one of the owners, thought of a TARDIS building contest – which I love the idea of but we’d have to have more than just those two things to do. They can’t show episodes there b/c they don’t have a commercial license so we’d need to have other things to do.

Well anyway, if anyone has any ideas, other than we need to change our name, then let me know at the meeting on Saturday. 580-477-0625

Warning To Parents: ‘These Are Not The Cartoons You Grew Up With’

Warning To Parents: ‘These Are Not

The Cartoons You Grew Up With’

By: Russ Jones   (OneNewsNow.com) Wednesday, July 31, 2013

http://www.onenewsnow.com/media/2013/07/31/warning-to-parents-%E2%80%98these-are-not-the-cartoons-you-grew-up-with%E2%80%99#.UgBWKtLVA4t

Caution: This article describes media content that is extremely offensive

The Parents Television Council has issued an urgent warning to parents and advertisers concerning the explicit content of an animated programming block that just launched.

“Just when you think network standards couldn’t get any lower, they do,” begins PTC’s online alert about a new animated programming block on the FOX television network that debuted last Saturday. It is the latest attempt by FOX to enter the late night fray similar to the Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" programming block.

While the shows may appear innocent, Dan Isett, director of public policy for the Parents Television Council (PTC), warns they are ultra-violent, sexually explicit, and profanity-laden cartoons.

“There’s an entire section of this thing that’s all about ‘sexting’ – the taking of [explicit] photographic images of young men and distributing them through the whole school,” he tells OneNewsNow. “There’s references to group sex and all sorts of things that I frankly can’t describe very well.”

According to Isett, FOX has quietly built an audience for the programming via the Internet by showing explicit animations on the program's website – which has no parental controls. “Any eight-year-old could simply click and watch selections from a collection of three-minute cartoons that are more explicit than anything we’ve seen on broadcast television to-date,” says PTC.

Examples of X-rated animations that FOX has already made available online – and eventually may air on broadcast television – include nude, anatomically correct characters; dead, decomposing corpses that are disrobed; lesbianism; and fondling of women.

“The really key thing for parents to understand is that this is not the cartoons that you grew up with,” Isett urges. “[And] to not trust FOX in this instance, because they’ve taken things that sort of look like classic cartoon fare and turned it into something really raunchy and offensive and damaging to your children.”

PTC urges parents and grandparents to call their local Fox affiliates and ask that this programming block be preempted in their community.

Editor's note: So as not to drive additional traffic to the website, OneNewsNow has purposely chosen NOT to identify by name the FOX animated programming block discussed in this story.

Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular Returning In 2014

BBC Worldwide have announced the return of the Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular to venues in Australia. Three concerts will take place during January and February of 2014 in Melbourne and Queensland, also with the possibility of future performances in New Zealand, though these have not yet been confirmed.

The concerts have currently been scheduled for the following dates:

31st January (7:30pm) and 1st February (2:00pm) - Melbourne Symphony Orchestra

Plenary Hall, Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre

Bookings: 03 9929 9600 or visit www.mso.com.au

8th February (7:30pm) - Queensland Symphony Orchestra

Brisbane Entertainment Centre

Bookings: 132 849 or visit www.ticketek.com.au/doctorwho

A summary of the show was given:

A musical celebration of the iconic BBC series, the Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular features Murray Gold’s captivating music from the Doctor Who series, accompanied by a big screen featuring specially edited sequences of Matt Smith’s performance as the Eleventh Doctor. A host of monsters including the spine-chilling Silence and the awe-inspiring Daleks and Cybermen will add to the electric atmosphere. Inspired by the Doctor Who Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, the 2014 show will feature all-new content - including a look back at some of the previous Doctors and also some of the music from the last five decades - as well as performances of some audience favourites from the 2012 show.

Doctor Who Composer Murray Gold gave his view:

"It’s really special to be able to offer audiences the chance to experience this music as it was originally recorded. We worked with a symphonic orchestra on both the iconic theme tune and the rest of the series score and to hear the music performed by such world-class orchestras as the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra is a fantastic opportunity for music lovers and Doctor Who fans alike."

André Gremillet, Managing Director of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, commented:

Doctor Who is a landmark in the history of TV and has a passionate fan base; most importantly for us at the MSO, music has been a key component of the show’s success and durability; it is spine-tingling and inimitable. The MSO is excited to be able to share this unique concert experience with Melbourne Doctor Who fans. We’re also looking forward to the opportunity this concert presents to reach out to new audiences who may not have experienced the power of a live symphony orchestra before.

Sophie Galaise, CEO for the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, said:

We are very excited to bring this international orchestral spectacular to Queensland with our own orchestra. I’ve worked on some major productions overseas including events with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra and over 1000 performers on stage at the Coliseum of Quebec; these are truly moving, memorable events, that should be shared and experienced by all. I anticipate Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular to be a monumental musical moment that we look forward to sharing with Queensland audiences.

Helen Pendlebury, Head of Commercial, Entertainment and Children's Brands for BBC Worldwide Australia and New Zealand, said:

With Doctor Who celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, all eyes are on the Doctor. We are thrilled to work with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra to bring this unique event back to Melbourne following its huge success last year, and to give fans in Queensland the chance to experience it for the first time. We hope to announce dates in New Zealand shortly.

Tickets for the Symphonic Spectacular go on sale from the 6th of August, so keep an eye out if you wish to grab tickets!

New 'Doctor Who': It's Peter Capaldi

New 'Doctor Who': It's Peter Capaldi

Brian Truitt, USA TODAY 

3 p.m. EDT August 4, 2013

The Scottish-born actor becomes the 12th actor to play the British sci-fi icon.

And the sonic screwdriver goes to Peter Capaldi.

The Scottish actor was named the new star of the British sci-fi franchise Doctor Who on Sunday during a live broadcast on BBC America. He will replace the departing Matt Smith, whose time in the time-traveling police box the TARDIS ends later this year.

"It's so wonderful not to keep this secret any longer," said Capaldi, a lifelong fan of the show. "I haven't played Doctor Who since I was 9 on the playground."

Capaldi, 55, becomes the 12th man to play the Doctor since the cult show debuted in 1963 with star William Hartnell and the fourth Time Lord since executive producer Russell T Davies rebooted Doctor Who in 2005, following Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant and Smith.

Executive producer Steven Moffat had considered Capaldi when they were casting the 11th Doctor. "There comes a right time for the right person to play it," he said.

"We all had the same idea and it was a quite different idea," Moffat added. When he and his team made a video with Capaldi, "everybody saw it and was like, 'That's the Doctor.' "

American audiences most recently saw Capaldi as a World Health Organization doctor in the movie World War Z, and he also has big-screen roles in the upcoming The Fifth Estate this fall and next year's Maleficent.

The half-hour live special on BBC America, hosted by British TV personality Zoe Ball, also featured past Who stars, including Peter Davison, the fifth Doctor (1981-84).

"In a way it's the longest job in television. It's a whirlwind time when you do it, and it keeps on going after," said Davison, whose daughter is married to the 10th Doctor, Tennant.

Smith recalled that people initially met his casting with backlash, but fans ultimately came around for him as the Doctor.

"There are no parts like this," he said. "I loved it, I'll miss it, but when you gotta go, you gotta go."

Doctor Who has long been a hit in the U.K., but more recently the Doctor has gained a huge following in the USA, with the show becoming the highest-rated series on BBC America.

Capaldi will make his first appearance in the Doctor Who Christmas Special at the end of 2013, and it marks Smith's final jaunt as the Doctor. Fans get to see him one more time, though, when Smith stars with Jenna Coleman, John Hurt and Tennant in the 50th anniversary special airing on Nov. 23.

The main reason the series is still a fixture in global pop culture is because of anybody who's ever watched it, Capaldi said. "Doctor Who belongs to all of us. Everybody makes Doctor Who."

Silence!

Silence! – April 18, 2013

This morning I woke up at 8:50AM in almost a panic. My breathing was heavy and all I could think in my mind was, “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! What was that?”

I had been having a very strange dream; not a “nightmare” per-say but just a very strange dream but it felt like it had a meaning to it. Now please DO NOT misconstrue what I’m trying to say here. I AM NOT saying that this dream was from the Lord. What I’m saying is that out of my strange dream I feel that the Lord may have given it a meaning. The two are very different.

Okay so here it is.

It was daytime and I was in, what felt like a coffee shop. I was sitting at the counter or table drinking my coffee and looking out the large windows when I saw a flying saucer. Okay yes I know that I love those silly old “B” science fiction films and I love Doctor Who so this might sound normal for me but wait.

It flew into sight and I watched it fly over running to the back window to watch it. Beside it came, what looked like, two flying busses. The saucer went invisible and one of the busses flew into it while the other landed, kinda like they were coming and going.

The one landed and people started to spill out of the bus but from the driver’s side. They didn’t look normal, they had a very strange look in their eyes and walked weird. I would equate it to somewhat of a “zombie” look and feel. They still looked like normal human beings but you could tell that something was “off” and they had a strange zoned out look in their eyes.

I ran to the counter and grabbed my things and all of the sudden this little boy kind of appeared. Not out of thin air but he was sitting there beside my books and purse. He looked “off” as well with a sinister or dark look about him; kind of haunting.. He was around five or six, possibly seven, with blond hair and blue eyes. There was also an old lady with him but on the other side of me; kind of like his grandmother.

I quickly grabbed my stuff and ran out to my car. There was panic everywhere and as I drove down the street I called my friend Tammy. I told her that I was coming over and that I needed her to start praying over her house and pleading the blood of Jesus over it and sealing it because of that I had to tell her. She kept asking questions, none of which I remember, but I kept saying, “Please Tammy, if you ever loved me as your best friend PLEASE pray over your house and pray that I can get there! PLEASE!!!” I was terrified. When I got off the phone with her that little boy was sitting beside me on the middle console of my car! There was an old lady right behind me. How did they get in my car?!

I shoved them out of the passenger’s side and tried to keep driving but I got caught up in traffic and then I was in a crowd. They kept mocking me. The boy and the old lady were there but then a younger woman, perhaps in her late teens or very early 20’s, came towards me. She was wearing what looked like a blue hospital gown. She had redish-brown hair cut just above her shoulders that was wild and unkept and she staggered a bit asking me if I had a tissue. She had the same sinister zombie look to her, they all did.

I shoved her away telling her that I didn’t have a tissue and to leave me along but she kept bothering me. Then two surly looking men approached me one black and one white. The white guy sat in the seat behind me and black man in front of me. They were mocking me and teasing me and I kept trying to get away from there but it felt like I was on a bus and couldn’t get away.

The next thing I knew they grabbed me and drug me away and threw me in a room. I kept trying to scream, “JESUS!” over and over again but when I opened my mouth little to nothing came out. I kept trying to quote, “Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.” But the word “Jesus” barely came out of my mouth. I was pointing at them and trying to speak and nothing.

Finally I woke up saying, “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!” And asking the Lord what that was about. As I said I DO NOT feel that the Lord gave me this dream but if He can use a donkey to speak He can certainly use this frightening dream to do the same.

What I felt was this. Satan is trying to silence what small voice I have. Now I know that I’m really nothing in the church. I take care of the babies once every three months or so but I don’t do anything else. I’m not connected to the “right” people so therefore I don’t feel like I can fulfill my hearts desire in that church. And I’m SOOO different that any of the people I know; never mind women, that I don’t make friends very easily. And the friends I have made have dropped me like a shoe as soon as they get to know the “real” me so I keep to myself.

So my question is this: what exactly is Satan trying to silence? I don’t really have any friends and it’s not like people actually listen to me so I don’t get it. Is he trying to kill (silence) my dreams? Why they’re not really “Christian” just family oriented. I just don’t get it.

Okay so there it is. Maybe I got it wrong and maybe I’m just making this all up but I can’t shake what I felt that dream ment.

Action Alert

Proposed Changes in FCC Enforcement mean MORE Obnoxious and Offensive Content over your Broadcast Airways

TAKE ACTION BELOW
Tell FCC ALL Indecent Content Should be Fined

http://w2.parentstv.org/main/Action/ActionAlerts/aa_2013_04_09.aspx 

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently proposed changing the rules governing their enforcement of broadcast decency laws. Under the new rules, the FCC would only investigate and issue fines against the most “egregious” broadcast content. Harsh profanity and “non-sexual” nudity might not be punished under the new rules — IF we allow those new rules to be implemented.

That’s right. The FCC is giving the broadcast networks license to air as much explicit profanity and nudity at any time of the day, regardless of how many children might be in the viewing audience.

And as we all know, if you give the networks an inch, they’ll take a mile… so if this rules change goes into effect, we can expect to see an explosion of sex, profanity and graphic nudity pouring into our homes over the airwaves WE OWN.

It’s an outrage! The FCC was created to protect consumers, not as a lobbying arm of the entertainment industry! And yet once again, families lose out and Hollywood gets to push its anything goes agenda on the rest of us.

Take action below to contact the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Your comments must be sent in before April 30, 2013.

(WARNING! Content may be graphic. Please do not watch if there are children close by.)

The FCC will only accept a formal submittal and will not not accept general email comments.

To be valid, follow these instruction below carefully to ensure a formal comment is accepted by the FCC: 

1. Click on the red button below

2. Enter the code "13-86" in the "Proceeding Number" box and fill out the few remaining required fields.

3. Enter your comment in the text box provided and click "Continue."

4. From there, review your comment and click "Confirm."

CLICK HERE
to Send Public Comments to the FCC TODAY!

Not sure what to say? Here’s an example of a comment you can submit:

I oppose any changes to the current FCC indecency standards. The FCC must continue to vigorously oppose ALL indecent content, even if brief or “fleeting.”

The Supreme Court has affirmed the FCC's authority to enforce policies prohibiting indecent broadcast content during hours when children are likely to be in the viewing or listening audience.

Relaxing the current policy would not serve the public interest and I urge the FCC to reject all proposals that would allow for the broadcast of expletives and nudity on FCC-licensed station

 

DVD Review: The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams (Season Two)

DVD Review: The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams (Season Two)

By Joe Corey on April 2, 2013

http://insidepulse.com/2013/04/02/dvd-review-the-life-and-times-of-grizzly-adams-season-two/

People today talk about shows being canceled too soon as if it was a current phenomenon. But the history of television is scattered with iconic shows that didn’t last that long on the air, but seemed like they must have rivaled Gunsmoke. The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams falls into that category. Dan Haggerty’s portrayal of the wrongly accused mountain man hiding out in the wilderness began with the massively popular The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams movie in 1974. The movie was adapted into TV series that joined the NBC schedule as a winter replacement in 1977. Haggerty immediately became a hit with his warm smile, bushy beard and magic touch with animals. Yet even with everything going right for the show, The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams: Season Two is the only full season it aired.

“Hot Air Hero” brings another guest to Grizzly’s remote cabin by an unusual mode of transportation. A hot air balloon piloted by Gino Conforti (Here’s Lucy) crashes. The man dreams of setting up the air mail version of the Pony Express. “A Bear’s Life” has Mad Jack (Dukes of Hazzard‘s Denver Pyle) and Grizzly working around the cabin. Ben the bear decides to goof of and be a bear for the day. A young Indian is up for his manhood ritual in “The Trial.” He must prove his manhood by catching fish except an otter ruins his day. He cheats in a last ditch move. “Gold Is Where You Find It” brings Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker back to the wilderness. The F Troop stars are suckered into buying a worthless gold map. Can they find an honest living off the land?

“Track of the Cougar” puts Grizzly against his Indian pal Nokoma (Don Shanks). A village has been attacked by a cougar that might have been raised by Grizzly. Can he let his pal snuff his former pet? “The Spoilers” has settlers near Hoot Owl Creek fear their water source is being poisoned. Not to spoil the episode, but Ken Lynch (Mr. Haney on Green Acres) is the guest star. “Marvin the Magnificent” brings a guest bear to the cabin. Can two men with two bears get along without killing each other? “The Seekers” find the great Keenan Wynn (Dr. Strangelove) arrive before a storm.

Roger E. Mosley” (Magnum P.I.) arrives in chains for “The Runaway.” Where is he coming from? Mad Jack doesn’t think it’s smart for Grizzly to be near the guy mainly cause he might attract people who would be delight to grab Roger and Grizzly for their bounties. “The Renewal” is an Easter special featuring Patrick Wayne (Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger). “The Skyrider” brings the ’70s fad of hang gliding to Grizzly’s mountain. Russ Tamblyn (Twin Peaks) takes flight. “The World’s Greatest Bounty Hunter” turns Mad Jack mad enough to think he needs to snag Grizzly for the reward.

“Once Upon a Starry Night” is a Christmas special that aired the season after the show was canceled. This 70 minute movie of the week features wolves and an avalanche. Ken Curtis (Festus on Gunsmoke) and Don Galloway (Ironside) are part of the holiday celebration in the mountains. So maybe this is part of why it felt like Grizzly Adams was on the TV longer than less than two seasons. What ended Grizzly Adams run? NBC hired Burt Silverman. The executive was eager to air more adult oriented sitcoms than family oriented dramas which was his key to running CBS and ABC. It didn’t work that well at NBC. Luckily Grizzly Adams remained in the heart of America. Fans still request Dan Haggerty marry them at Dennis Hof’s Bunny Ranch.

The Episodes

“The Trial,” “Survival,” “A Bear’s Life,” “The Choice,” “Hot Air Hero,” “Track of the Cougar,” “The Search,” “Marvin the Magnificent,” “Woman in the Wilderness,” “The Orphans,” “Gold Is Where You Find It,” “A Time of Thirsting,” “The Seekers,” “The Spoilers,” “The Stranger,” “The Runaway,” “A Gentleman Tinker,” “The World’s Greatest Bounty Hunter,” “The Littlest Greenhorn,” “The Great Burro Race,” “The Quest,” “The Skyrider,” “The Renewal” and “Once Upon a Starry Night.”

The video is 1.33:1 full frame. The transfer quality isn’t so great for some of the episodes. But I’d heard the show was shot on 16mm which is why the resolution isn’t quite up to snuff. The audio is mono. The mix varies on the episodes.

A Conversation with Dan Haggerty (13:15) lets Grizzly Adams tell how he was discovered for the role. He gives Denver Pyle’s tips for not squinting on camera. Turns out they shot in three locations depending on the snow. This is an unexpected bonus feature since he didn’t seem eager to record anything when I met Haggerty last October.

The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams: Season Two brings back a time when a network nature program didn’t involve people being voted off the island. Grizzly was a calming influence in the wilderness with his pet bear. The show still maintains the charms of when it ran in the ’70s. 

Timeless Media Group presents The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams: Season Two. Starring: Dan Haggerty, Denver Pyle and Don Shanks. Boxset Contents: 24 episodes on 4 DVDs. Released: February 19, 2013. Available at Amazon.com

This is for Felicity Jellicle, Carlo Castronovo, Ashley S King and Peggy Sue Clay. Since they was kind enough for me and Sera to use their photos.

The Truth Behind Meghan-Gate!

The Truth Behind Meghan-Gate!

All of you are wondering what happened with Meghan and why she’s stopping around crying on all of your shoulders about “how david and peggy are so mean to me.” Yea whatever. Here is THE TRUTH behind what happened. These are email messages between David, Meghan and myself – Peggy Sue. You can judge it for yourselves.

David – 9:09am

Meghan – 8:10pm

Michael Wermuth deserves to be kicked out of Henson haven and Childhood memories.This explains why he took over henson haven.

Michael  – Tired of not being the dominant one.

Meghan  – Why do you need to be the dominant one?

Michael

So that I don't get bossed around (especially not by younger people with no official authority over me), don't get ignored about things I don't want to be ignored about, so when I have something to suddenly add to someone's conversation they won't be able to talk so much I don't get a word in.... I feel like I have some other things to say, but am too tired to explain everything now.

Meghan

But do you realize you are doing the same thing by wanting to be dominant?

Meghan

One thing is for sure.NO ONE will be dominant with me!That is a fact.

Michael

That is kinda true, I want to be like them and I want them to be what I am, except I think I'd be more fair. Ironically, the ones who are supposed to be dominate over me usually aren't as bossy as those who are are equal or less with me.

Meghan – Not kinda.Completely true!!

Meghan

Dominance is not a good thing all the time.It is complacent and a bad use of power.

Meghan

And why not let people be who THEY want to be.You can only be dominant over yourself.

Michael

I forgot to say that I was half-kidding, though I really would like to be able to be in charge of others. Technically I do let others be what they want to be. Even if I'm annoyed by how some are I can't stop them.

Meghan

It is not a joke to want to be dominant.Not even remotely close to funny.That is YOUR problem if you are annoyed by them.

Meghan

I can not be friends with a person like you.Not at all.I am also going to kick you out of Henson Haven.That is why you have taken over the page wanting to be dominant.I will report this to David.

...

David – 9:11am

David – 6:26am

I did not realized he did that.

Meghan – 6:27am

Well now you do.I am frightened of him.He is not a good person.

...

Peggy Sue – Saturday, March 16, 2013 – 1:23pm

Wow!!!

I’m sorry David I had no idea that something like this happened. I’m guessing that was in a PM / IM? And I’m sorry I’m not around as much as I probably should be but as you know I’m taking that writing course and I’m trying to get this Doctor Who film off the ground so the only times I make it to the forum is when it’s my turn to post.

Meghan already has a BIG problem with you calling me the “head moderator”, she said it in another post remember? She said that “we are all equal, no one is the “head”” so I’m not sure what to do about it.

She did overstep her bounds by not speaking to one of us BEFORE she banned him and I understand that she doesn’t like him, by that conversation I don’t either but still.

What do you think we should do? Suspend her moderator position for while to make her think about what she’s done? Maybe like two weeks? When children are bad they get punished so it really wouldn’t be that different. But I will leave that up to you for the final decision.

Now you know that I’m gonna go over there and post back on your thread and I’m gonna come down HARD on them. Not by name but in general and I’m telling you this ahead of time so that you’re not surprised by it LOL.

It’ll be okay, it’ll work out somehow.

...

David – 3:46pm

*hugs* I knew haveing you as head moderator you can help.

...

Peggy Sue – Sunday, March 17, 2013 – 12:07am

**huggs** I will always have your back.

I’m sorry that they’re stressing you out but thank you for sticking up for me to Meghan in the other email. I knew she was jealous of me but dang.

So hey I’m just now checking my messages, did you leave the group? Now I did leave the Muppets group b/c I like them but not as much as the rest of you do, not enough to contribute anything. And right now I’m concentrating on my Doctor Who film so I’m distracted. Plus I have to catch up on my writing course b/c I’ve been ignoring my homework since December but thankful I was a little ahead anyway.

Anyway I guess I better get over there and see what’s going on. **shakes head** these children, what are we gonna do with em?! LOL

David – Sunday, March 17, 2013 – 12:00pm

I have no Idea. Peggy.

Peggy Sue – Sunday, March 17, 2013 – 6:52pm

IDK about you but I’m really getting sick of Meghan. She’s proving to be a two-faced backstabber.

David – Monday, March 18, 2013 – 6:30am

I did removed her from admin in both groups. I did wehent back to it because I am a huge fan of the muppets. *hugs* I am still glad you are my friedns. :)

Peggy Sue – Monday, March 18, 2013 – 12:30pm

I’m glad we’re still friends too but unfortunately I had to block Meghan. There were some private emails back and forth and I just got sick of her crap. One minute she’s telling me that she doesn’t even like me then she’s telling me that she wants to work things out and the next she’s telling me “Good riddance.One bit of advice.Get over yourself Peggy.” I swear she’s either crazy or bi-polar and that’s a direct quote b/c I saved those emails.

Email conversation between Meghan, David and Peggy Sue

Conversation started Saturday, March 16, 2013 by Meghan

Meghan – 5:47pm

I feel that I have done nothing wrong.If anything I was trying to protect you guys from a dominant person.David has the whole conversation between Michael and I.If you read it you will see he is not right for both groups.I did not mean to start trouble or start drama.That part I did not mean to do.

But if it can not be seen that I was trying to protect you guys then I do not know what to think.I am saddened by this.

I am saddened that you would not trust me on this.I love you guys and do not want anything bad to happen between us.

...

David – 7:00pm

That person will no longer be aloud in the group Meg.

the main reason why i am stepping down is due to me stressing out, (it was me getting stressed.) I am sorry for making you mad Meg.

I need a break from FB

...

Meghan – 7:03pm

Is that really what you want to do? And is Peggy mad at me?

...

David – 7:03pm

I love you to meg and I was dumb, but the main reason why I appointed Peggy as the head Moderator is because she had a group and her blog, she knows how to run things.

I want to restart trusting someone who looked out for me.

...

Meghan – 7:05pm

But we all do David.And that is not fair to the rest of us who are moderators.We all should have equal parts.Not just her.

...

David – 7:05pm

she has more experience then either of us

...

Meghan – 7:05pm

That does not matter.

...

David – 7:05pm

yes it dose.

...

Meghan – 7:05pm

It makes me feel like we have no say like we are just little straglers

...

David – 7:05pm

I am no good at anything.

...

Meghan – 7:06pm

If we all can not be equal in moderating than I do not want any part of it any more.

...

David – 7:07pm

Meg you will be Moderator once more. But Peggy is in charge.

...

Meghan – 7:07pm

No thanks.I am done.

Saturday, March 16, 2013

Peggy Sue – 11:59pm

We understand that you were trying to protect the group Meghan but you cannot just ban someone w/o telling either David or me. And since you’ve left both groups, I left the Muppet group after yall added me, I’ll just have to tell you here. You are just going to have to deal with your jealousy when it comes to me being the Head Moderator.

I have owned and Moderated LOTS OF GROUPS before I came to David’s group and he knew that I was up for it and if you have a problem with that then it’s your problem. Moderating is a “job” of sorts and as in life the head job goes to the person with the most experience and in this case that’s me.

As a Moderator you cannot just ban someone no matter how bad they are. Tell us and we will keep an eye on him and **if** he does something on the group that merits banning then okay but you can’t just ban them for threatening to do something. I mean do you honestly think that any of us would let that happen?

Yes he was being a jerk but he hasn’t started any trouble other than posting all the time, which is why I turned off my alerts. People like that only want attention and if you ignore them they will eventually go away. The old saying is ‘please do not feed the trolls”.

And if you’re “done” then that’s your choice, no one is asking you to leave but your acting like a child who’s throwing a tantrum b/c she can’t have her way.

And thank you for sticking up for me David.

Sunday, March 17, 2013

Meghan – 6:34am

If you are head moderator I do NOT want any part of it.I did the right thing.END of story.

If anything YOU rant and rave like a maniac when things go wrong.Every one else who is on my side said the same exact thing.

And lots of people sent me In box messages THANKING ME FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING.

You and David do not have many people on your side.

But you guys have lost my respect lost any chances of getting it back.I know I did the right thing.Wake up and realize it.

And why would I be jealous of some one I do not like?! LOL I was talking about EQUALITY it had nothing to do with your conceited thought that I was jealous.Get over yourself Peggy

...Sunday Meghan left the conversation..

**NOTE** Somewhere in here she tells me that “she doesn’t even like me” that’s why I this post by me starts the way it does.***

Sunday, March 17, 2013

Peggy Sue – 6:51pm

Oh really? You don’t like me huh? Then why did you send me another friend request of you don’t like me?! You’re nothing but a spoiled child and as much as you like to rant about “doing the right thing” you didn’t and THAT is the end of the story!

And I don’t care “that no one is on my side” b/c it’s not about sides it’s about right and wrong and if you can’t see that you were wrong then you don’t belong in the group and you certainly do not deserve to be a moderator.

You don’t ban someone for threatening something; you have to wait until they actually DO something. What you SHOULD have done was to go to his page and block him so that you wouldn’t have to see his posts. That would have been the mature thing to do.

Monday, March 18, 2013

David – 6:31am

ah she left Peggy. adn I still like you.

Peggy Sue – 12:32pm

The only reason she's gone is b/c I blocked her. So now that she's gone we'll just stick to the other email.

Email Between Meghan and Peggy Sue

Meghan 7:46pm Mar 17

I really want to talk and work things out.But I do not know how.I am still pretty angry at what happened.But I am willing to try and talk things out.

Peggy Sue 8:40pm Mar 17

I just had to deal with one plastic friend tonight, so I’m not interested. That friend request was a mistake. I went to “unfriend you” but didn’t notice that you had already unfriended me so when I clicked it, it sent you a friend request but it was a mistake. I’ve said what I have to say and I stand by it. You were wrong b/c you kicked someone out of the group w/o just cause and you’re jealous of me b/c I’m the head moderator. You’ve already told me that you don’t like me so I don’t se what there is to work out.

Meghan 8:42pm Mar 17

Then you should have thought about it before clicking.And I wonder why you had to deal with a plastic friend.The way you rant and rave.I feel bad for them who have to deal with your BS on a regular basis.

Good riddance.One bit of advice.Get over yourself Peggy.

I was not jealous of you.That is concieted of you to think so.I as a moderator thought every one had equal rights.If you want to be in complete control do NOT have moderators.

Meghan 8:51pm Mar 17

Stand by what ever you want but you are wrong.I had plenty of cause.But you are too foolish to see it.

Peggy Sue 10:30pm Mar 17 (don’t remember the time)

Wow are you sure your name’s not Lisa? Or perhaps you’re bi-polar? I’d pick door number two b/c obviously you can’t read, I SAID I CLICKED ON IT BY MISTAKE!!! I think you need some thicker lenses there deary!

You’re nothing but a whiney, jealous, two-faced brat and I’m glad to be done with you. I didn’t ask to be the head moderator David gave that to me b/c he knew that I was mature enough to handle it, unlike you. And I can’t help but wonder is this how you deal with your boss? You think that all of you should be equal? No wonder you’ll never get ahead.

And you’re just pissed off b/c David is backing me not you. You acted out of line but you’re too blinded by jealousy to see that. Now go crawl in a corner and cry yourself to sleep b/c I’m done with you!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

At this point I went to her page and blocked her b/c I knew that if I didn’t it would never stop so I stopped it.

Email conversation between Sera Snowtigress and Peggy Sue on March 19, 2013

Sera Snowtigeress – 2:47pm

so this is what Meg was saying to a friend of mine

(meg) We need to find a way to stand up against David and Peggy.Never did I see this coming.But I need your help.

(meg) He deserved every bit of what he got from me and then some.

(meg) Do not tell me you expect me to work things out with David.That is something that just can not and will not happen.Not now.

...

Sera Snowtigeress – 2:50pm

David was told this and he broke down

me and Brian talked to him to get him back on line.

and into the groups.

...

Peggy Sue – 2:59pm

Wow what a bitch! She kicked that guy Michael out of the group for threatening saying that he “wanted to be the dominate one” and basically he wanted to take over the group.

Now you know that neither David nor I would ever let that happen. So we told her that she was wrong and stamped her feel and threw a fit. And she’s trying to drag everyone she can into this – which is WRONG – and now she’s saying that she wants to (basically) overthrow us? Is she even back in the group?

...

Sera Snowtigeress – 2:59pm

not that I know of.

I can look for you

nope

she is not

do you wnat me to turn it into a closed group?

it seamse that she wanted to take over more than the other guy.

and she is not in the other group

...

Peggy Sue –  3:48pm

Sorry my computer’s acting up.

No you don’t have to close them, she told us that she wasn’t coming back but if you can ban her from the Muppet group do it. I’m not in that group b/c I don’t have anything to add to it and I’m into other things right now.

Ya know, I’m about ready to blog everyone of those conversations just to let everyone know what “poor little Meghan” is all about!

...

Sera Snowtigeress – 3:49pm – go for it :)

...

Sera Snowtigeress – 4:25pm

Peggy she's at it again

Sera Snowtigeress

well we have seen the last of David. he is not coming back for a while

and from his tone of voice he means business this time.

Meghan – 4:23pm

Well.I for one am not sad about it.He caused this all on his own.

...

Peggy Sue – 4:31pm

yea I'm on the phone with David now

she's IMing david asking him if he's afraid of me. I told him to tell her that we're on the phone

...

Sera Snowtigeress – 4:44pm

I sear I will sit on him.
