Lotsa' folks out exploring this new world.  I have been so focused on the forums I haven't roamed much outside left and right of them!  This post alerted me to  the little icons of who is actually signed in currently.  I know this feature was always at the top of my wish list here.

No body mentioned Casablanca!  Of course Raines was a supporting role in that.

And everyone's over-looking his GREATEST role:  Prince John in the 1938 classic The Adventures of Robin Hood starring Errol Flynn

Mike,

Yea, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is a very good Capra movie.  As relevant today as it was back then.  Not much different either. Confused

When I think of Claude Raines, Marlon, I think of two roles: Invisible Man and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.  He also starred in a 40s version of the Phantom of the Opera.  And, no - I'm NOT "older 'n dirt". Big Smile

Tom:  I'm not "older n dirt" either, but maybe my mind's already going...I'd forgotten all about "Mr. Smith".

And Marlon - I never ring the bell. I always knock loudly,'cause if I'm in the basement I can't hear the bell...

I wonder how many people caught the "Invisible Man" reference... If you remember Claude Rains in that role, you're probably older 'n dirt.

I discovered that phenomenon, too, Mike.  Weird.  Sometimes I'm there; sometimes I'm not.  Perhaps that's just confirming that I'm not all there. Smile, Wink & Grin

Frankly, I don't understand why you'd be checking to see if you're online; reminds me of ringing your doorbell to see if you're home. But, maybe that's just me. Smile, Wink & Grin

I don't think it is working right.  I only found myself on-line once out of over a half dozen  times and that time I was gone in less than a minuteConfused.

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

Kind of interesting...

I sign in,check out "Who is on line",not me! Then, about ten minutes later,Poof!,there I am. A few minutes after that,Poof!, I'm gone again.

I pledge to use these powers only for good.

Mike (Still in Denver,Co  Poof! or not...)
