The Hilarious House of Frightenstein
To those involved in the making of the show, this site is dedicated. For the rest, lean back and let your mouse take you for a trip back to that mysterious place, overlooking the sleepy village of Frankenstone, somewhere far away from the Count’s beloved homeland of Transylvania; the place known as Castle Frightenstein…
This live action 60 minute show was a fixture on Saturday morning television for decades. Through its combination of variety, humor, and educational segments, all flavored with the spice of mock horror, the show had a lasting impact on the youth of the day.

FIRST KISS
So, it's your first kiss and several questions might come to mind: Is it the right time? Is anyone watching? Does your partner even want to? Is your breath fresh? And... Should you use some tongue? Then you lean in and just go for it!
Can You See it?
There is a hidden picture inside the picture below. It can be seen in 3D without 3D glasses! Take a hard look and see if you can find the 'hidden rings'...

Facts about COVID-19
These facts come from the World Health Organization. They correct common, untrue rumours about coronavirus (COVID-19).
Vaccines are tested thoroughly for safety before they're made available to the public
The need for a COVID-19 vaccine was urgent, so governments and companies spent much more money on developing it. Research and development took place at the same time around the world, while still following strict safety and clinical standards. This allowed for faster vaccine development, but doesn't make the studies any less rigorous or the vaccine any less safe.

Vaccine side effects are usually mild.
Vaccines help protect the body from certain diseases. Like any medicine, they can cause minor, short-term side effects while the body adjusts to them, such as a sore arm or a mild fever. More serious side effects are possible, but extremely rare. A person is far more likely to be seriously harmed by a disease than by its vaccine.

R.I.P. Clarence Williams III (1939-2021)
Clarence Williams III has died at the age of 81.
The American film and theater actor was known for his roles in "The Mod Squad" and "Half Baked".
Clarence was born into a family of musical artists, his father was a professional musician, his aunt was a singer, his grandfather was a jazz and blues musician, and his grandmother was a blues singer and theater actress. It was through his grandmother Eva that he became interested in acting and began his career in the theater. In the 1960s, he appeared on Broadway in the play "The Long Dream," and several years of acting in the theater brought him critical acclaim.
His recognition and great popularity brought him the role of Lincoln Hayes in the police series "The Mod Squad", in which he played for 5 seasons and appeared in 123 episodes. His filmography includes performances in such films and series as "Miami Vice", "Twin Peaks", "Star Trek", "The Highwayman", "Nasty Boys", among others. One of his standout roles was as Prince's father in "Purple Rain" and the comedy "Half Baked".
In 1967 Clarence married actress Gloria Foster, whom he met on the set of "The Cool World" in 1962. Unfortunately, this relationship did not last and the couple divorced in 1984.
Riddle Me This!
Family Matters.....
There was a family living in an round house. There was a mother, a father, a daughter, a son, and a maid. When the son was murdered everyone were suspects. The father said that he did not kill the boy, he was fixing the car outside. The mother said that she did not kill the boy, she was washing the dishes and cleaning the bathroom. The daughter said that she did not kill the boy, she was in her room all day listening to music. The maid said she did not kill the boy, she was sweeping every corner of the house. Who killed the boy?
The Best of The Love Doctor
Dear Love Doctor,
My clothes smell like an ashtray. My hair stinks. My bedding reeks. And, I don't smoke!
How on earth do I get my boyfriend to quit? He's not only ruining his health, he's endangering mine.
He's a great guy, but the smoking is turning me off and driving me away. I really don't know how much longer I can take it. When he comes over he lights up as soon as he walks in the door, and doesn't stop until he leaves. The only break I get is when we have sex, and the tobacco odor leaves me limp.
I've been after him but he says I'm hounding him, but it's for his own good. He says he's tried quitting but can't Isn't there something that will work?
Signed,
2Packs 2ndHand
Dear 2ndHand,
I'm sure the smoke is driving you nuts. And, I'll take his word for it that he has tried to quit. The trouble is smoking is an addiction no different from alcoholism or gambling.
It needs to be treated like an addiction not some little character flaw, and certainly not with fads like dieting.
Having known a heavy smoker for a very long time, I can tell you firsthand how hard it is to quit no matter how genuine you are about wanting to.
I can also tell you there is no foolproof method. Most researchers will tell you the most effective way is to stop cold turkey. They have probably never been smokers themselves.
What worked for him may not work for anyone else, but he went to a shrink. It took a year to get to the root of the problem and another year to successfully get off the weed.
He hasn't had a cigarette in more than a decade.
There are a number of crutches to help ease the anxiety of quitting...gum...the patch etc. But, these are only crutches.
I wish I had a simple answer for you, but I don't. If I did, I'm sure I could package it and make as much money as the tobacco industry does in pushing coffin nails.

Dumbest Kid in the World !!
As a young boy enters the barber shop, the barber whispers to his customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you." The barber puts a dollar in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, "Which do you want, son?"


The boy takes the quarters and leaves. "What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!" A while later, after leaving the barber shop, the customer sees the same young boy leaving the ice cream store. "Hey, son," he asks, "Tell me, why did you pick the two quarters instead of the dollar?" The boy licks his cone and answers, "Because the day I take the dollar, the game's over!"
I THINK YOU'RE THE FATHER OF ONE OF MY KIDS
A guy goes to the supermarket and notices a beautiful blonde woman wave at him and say hello. He's rather taken aback, because he can't place from where he knows her. So he says, "Do you know me?"
To which she replies, "I think you're the father of one of my kids." Now his mind travels back to the only time he as ever been unfaithful to his wife and says, "My God, are you the stripper from my bachelor party that I laid on the pool table with all my buddies watching, while your partner whipped my butt with wet celery???"
She looks into his eyes and calmly says, "No, I'm your son's math teacher."
Strange man!
Awhile ago, just for fun, I stopped by a house that was selling a 69 Volkswagen Beetle. I met with the gentleman who answered the door and after showing my friend and me the Bug, proceeded to hand each one of us the following:
He said, after giving us these bills, "Hold onto them... may be worth something someday..." WELL, won't he be surprised when we go and collect our 'credits' in 2022....
