Just a random story that made me laugh. Yesterday while listening to the radio the host said he had just interviewed Debbie Reynolds (I think a biography is coming out soon). Anyway, he played short segments of the interview. He asked about the paparazzi back then and she said it was awful cause they'd be right in front of her house. However, she thought it's probably worse today. Well, it got to a question about her husband Eddie Fisher and the famous Liz Taylor scandal. She said she had known Liz from somewhere (school maybe). Anyway, she said that when Liz's husband died (She had 8 but I assume Mike Todd), she sent Eddie over to console her. And, she said "boy did he console her. Next time I'll send a card." Made me laugh I always liked her and I certainly remember the cover of every movie magazine having Taylor,Fisher, Reynolds on the cover. Ha ha Then of course not long after covers changed to Taylor/Burton. TIS At the sag award show she got a life time achievement award. She started to wander making her acceptance speech. Her daughter the star wars girl introduced her.

Are you easily approachable? Random people come up to me all the time to ask me my opinion or for my help whether I'm at a store or walking on the trail or sitting at a parent meeting. Just as long as they don't ask, "How much"?? Some people just have a look about them that makes them approachable. My second wife was like that ..... she had a very friendly face and others (strangers) would always start up a conversation with her.

I get emails everyday showing the viewers' comments on my Epaisan YouTube channels' videos. These ladies chat with one another and a few of them enjoy talking and reminiscing about old times so much that they are now Facebook friends That makes me happy. Other comments are very racist calling Italians derogatory names. I rarely reply back to these losers but when I do I get plenty of back-up from my subs they are happy to comment back at the guy for me. Most of the time I just delete the comment. The latest comment (joke) someone posted on my Italian-American joke video is: Italians wear gold chains to know where to stop shaving One of my favorite comments is from an old timer from the Bronx. Ring the doorbell with your elbow. Meaning have your arms so full of food from Arthur Ave. that you have to ring the doorbell with your elbow. And one wrote: We always had so much food packed in our fridge we never knew it came with a lightbulb until we went to eat over at a friends house Now someone just wrote a comment on Little Pal those are always depressing. My dad has been gone almost 48 years, but I never forget how he told me to study hard in school and not be "just a bum like me." He was no bum, but was ashamed that he didn't finish high school. Just because losing his own father at age 9, and being forced to help the younger ones, and when the depression came in '29, he had to go to work. Men like that are a bit more hard to find these days. This songs so touches my heart. i cry every time. I now have 563 subs can you believe that

When I first moved to California I was surprised that I ALWAYS had people coming up to me and speak Spanish and/or ask me if I did. When I worked at the school, if there was a Spanish speaking parent that came in, they'd look around and walk right up to me thinking I was Mexican and starting talking to me Spanish. Ha ha! Being from Michigan I never had that experience. TIS That's funny TIS cuz that happens to me too. I find that in LA ppl think I'm Jewish, in OC I'm Mexican and in Jersey I'm Italian. How bout that? Did you learn any Spanish?

TIS If we ever get together for an Italian type function I will let you know. Through the years I think I met every single Italian in so Cal through the Italian Club at church We'd also advertise our sausage and peppers booth at the local street fair and these east coast Italian transplants came out of the woodwork . Get your bocce throwing arm in shape. We always play a few games. And man do those games get SERIOUS

And man do those games get SERIOUS I know it's NO comparison to anything like NYC, but there is an Italian Festival in San Diego in Oct AND a Sicilian festival in SD in April. I've never been but am talking to my daughters about checking them out. Might be fun. Have you been? I remember in MI at family reunions, the old timers playing bocce. I can't say I remember HOW to play it though. TIS http://www.littleitalysd.com/events/little-italy-festa/http://www.sandiego.org/events/festivals-and-street-fairs/sicilian-festival-little-italy.aspxj

TIS Maybe you and I should open a booth and sell them. I'd do it in a second. People love them. We'd have the most popular booth at the festa Sounds fun only I've never made them. I only eat them. However, you can make them and I'll strong arm people to come to the booth. You know...make them an offer..... TIS

If San Diego was closer I'd seriously consider opening up a booth to sell the zeppole and those bow ties my aunt used to make.

You a good cook/baker A-Girl? I make my own spaghetti sauce (Which you NYers call gravy but I grew up knowing it as sugu.) I've made Italian bread before but it's been years. The older I get the less I bake it seems. However, I am still good at eating. Ha ha I don't think OC OR LA have any kind of Italian Festival do they? SD is the only one I've heard of. TIS

What are you New York Italians like if you don't like food in a restaurant? Would you complain and/or send it back or would you just grin and bear it?
I would just grin and bear it. I don't like making a scene but I think you guys don't give a f*ck and tell it like it is. And that's the way to be!
Am I right? I've got a couple stories for you but my Dad is from Jersey but hung out in Brooklyn and also Canal St years ago. Let's just say he's a Jersey/NY guy. When I was little I'd be at an Italian restaurant starting to eat my meatballs and spaghetti and after a few bites my pops would say to us. Get up we're leaving. This food tastesike shit. Then he'd tell the waiter or owner your food is terrible. We're not coming back. Then another time I walked in his house he was on the phone and saying Hey Tony you're from NY? Well I'm from Jersey and this is no NY pizza! Your pizza sucks. He had a pizza delivered from there There's more stories but you get the point

Unless it was really really bad. I do remember growing up with loud talking tho. When my relatives got together, they'd be in the same room but still yell. Ha ha Nobody seemed soft spoken for the most part. THO I don't consider myself loud. Just everyone else. Ha ha TIS

It's changed from what I've learned. I've never been to it. It's the San Gennaro festival I'm pretty sure in September.
