    Hurricane Sandy

    Don't forget to FILL YOUR BATHTUBS if you have one! In case you lose power you can still flush the toilet!! Important, but often overlooked. I cursed our building by saying "we never lose power here" so now all my neighbours are convinced we will. So we've already planned a power-outage party.

    Earliest Recorded Voice from 1878 Discovered and Restored

    HAHAH!! Yes it would!! If it was *real* found recordings. Even done in a non-"horror" documentary style. The movie Decasia I find creepy. Look it up if you haven't seen it. It's all found, disintegrated film clips from the silent era spliced together against an out-of-tune orchestra (the...

    Earliest Recorded Voice from 1878 Discovered and Restored

    I listened to the 1859 recording while at work. That lessened the creepiness, too, I think. Being around other people in a lively environment. But all alone -- eh, NO. Maybe I'll listen to numbers stations at work tomorrow lol Horror Movies = *yawn*. But don't get me near an unknown 100+...

    Earliest Recorded Voice from 1878 Discovered and Restored

    I like to know things. I like facts. I think it might be not knowing is what freaks me out in some cases. Not all, though. For example, the Edison recording that this thread is about creeps me out, but I know all the information about it down to the date it was recorded. Same with Frank...

    Earliest Recorded Voice from 1878 Discovered and Restored

    I refuse to listen to Numbers Stations!! I'll read about them until the cows come home because I think they are fascinating/creepy, but I can't bring myself to listen. I don't know why, but NOT listening to them makes them more "fascinating" and less "creepy." Maybe I'll start off with that...

    Earliest Recorded Voice from 1878 Discovered and Restored

    Old morse codes (?) scare me, too. But things like the Complete Broadcast Day are fine. Probably because it is structured and the recording is clean and there are famous names behind the voices. I still have those 1920s OTR recordings in my iPod and they are fine, too. Even the 50th...

    Earliest Recorded Voice from 1878 Discovered and Restored

    As much as I love this sort of stuff, it terrifies me at the same time. When I first listened to the Talking Clock I would not leave my husband's side all night and ended up going to bed at 2am with him (which is something I never did!) I have not listened to this recording yet. I'm afraid it...

    Hurricane Sandy

    Apparently It's gonna take a left turn at the Delaware Bay and slam South Jersey/Northern DE/Philly area. NJ and Wilmington are already under States of Emergency and evacuation starts tomorrow in some areas. Me....I'm always skeptical. These storms are always hyped. I'm sure they are...

    Earliest Recorded Voice from 1878 Discovered and Restored

    http://www.redding.com/news/2012/oct/27/1878-oldest-playable-audio-recording-unveiled/ Older than Frank Lambert's "Talking Clock", apparently. I don't count the 1859 French "recordings" -- as they were never intended for playback.

    What TV shows were you GLAD were cancelled?

    Always hated Full House. I LOATHE Bob Saget. HATED "Uncle Joey" so hard and always felt "Uncle Jesse" was overrated (not attractive, either, as he's hyped up to be). And the daughters....CRINGE! DESPISE the Olson twins!!! Sometimes I like to watch reruns just to get myself worked up lol I...

    Guess What Year I Am!

    Buster Keaton came to mind when I saw it (but I knew it wasn't him!) And I knew it was a movie star in his older years, but could not place his face!!!

    Guess What Year I Am!

    I was gonna say 1946 for LM's pic. The pic above -- hmmm. Men are harder for me to date because I don't know the subtleties as well as I know women (like LM honing in on those eyebrows in my picture!) 1951?

    Guess What Year I Am!

    1934! The hair looks much later -- kind of late 40s/50s. And the neck scarf sometimes throws people off into thinking it's 50s, too lol
