I would agree Rudi is a mess I dont watch his live videos but heard from ladies that do.It appears he is joining and has become a administrator to a queen fan group on fb I waunder how many will follow.I suspected this at this stage of his game I worked in car sales as a finance manager a long time my pay depended on salesmen.
They did whatever they had to against one another to get that sale.I tried to warn someone when I seen it coming instead I was wrongly accused of terrible things now look.I knew this would happen.I expect he will try to become administrator to some of the other larger groups.No worries about our little 18 ladies we will take it to the grave loyalty means everything doesnt it.Have a nice evening everyone.

MHZ, I have no idea why Kristen always does her product tests in her car, but it almost makes it funnier. Check out her videos on stamp on brows, clip on bangs, the facial exerciser and more. I mentioned before that she can go on too long, but I can never bring myself to shut her off. Her KFC Cheetos sandwich is hysterical, but too long. I watched it though because I always wondered about that sandwich.
I agree, Rudi needs someone to help him with organization. The problem yesterday seemed to be low battery on his phone so he was trying to film while it was plugged in to the charger. He did say he would make the salad next week. I can't even imagine how he'll be able to do that with any kind of coherent directions. He needs to set an agenda and stick to it. I can't stand that kind of inefficiency either. I never liked to run meetings, but my principal always said I was a good one to have in meetings because I'd take as much as I could stand and then I'd bring out my BS meter, and force everyone back on track. That's what I want to do to Rudi. I also want to tell him to stop touching his nose!!!!! If we took the Epilady to that lip growth it would be unbelievably painful...…..and probably pretty funny.

ADHD, is a thing I have struggled with all of my life but I managed you would be surprised how many successful people suffer from this chemical imbalance of the body.I dont agree with alot that is going behind the scenes with Rudi and how he is representing his interviews but it's not nice to make fun of someone with a intellectual attention disability.Katy you said you had a classroom full of them.I would expect a different reaction out of you.As far as a facial growth honey we all have things we dont like about ourselves and we all age we start aging the day we are born.No I dont think it would be funny at all.As far as a bs meter I dont think we need that here everyone seems pretty mellow and noone needs to get too big for their own pants.Courtious and friendly is a nice motto dont you think.Alienation of any ooster that is trying to engage in friendly conversation and is ignored looks childish and lurkers do see this trust me they do.Thus isnt good for product sales of any kind just a food for thought.This is a nice thread you have here try and welcome them for who they are please we are all different.We not say things in the way or manner people think we should say them but that's what acceptance is.Or that's what I thought it was supposed to be.I dont care how much money a person has what they wear where they live or who they like boys or girls or both.No judgement acceptance is a easy thing to give someone but I just dont think everyone is on the same page yet.
Just finished doing several hours of data-entry for work...my brain is completely fried. I should be done this task in about 4 weeks...Aaaagghhh!
Regarding ADHD: Just like MHZ said, most of the creative people in the world probably have some degree of ADHD. And regarding Katydyd's comment, I too have had children in my classroom over the years who had ADHD. I agree with her when she said about Rudi "He's probably got so much going on in his head that he can't settle down". That sounds about right from what I have heard. Of course we don't know if Rudi has ADHD...it was just an observation, but it certainly does not demean those who do live with ADHD in any way. It makes me think of one little boy I had in my third grade classroom many years ago who had ADHD. He was so creative, his mind was going a hundred miles an hour. Did he have an intellectual disability...not in the least. He was funny, kind, and had personality plus. (Just like Freddie) I ran into his parents many years later at a church event and they told me he was doing really well. I was not at all surprised.
This chat thread is usually a pretty mellow place. What's nice is that this thread, and the other QZ threads I have participated in (actually just Thor's threads...I'm not involved in any other QZ threads, the Queenonline forum, Instagram, or Facebook) have always been open to everyone. This is not a private group that picks and chooses it members. As such, there is probably going to be a much larger range of personalities here. There is an amazing array of backgrounds, temperaments, points of view, ages, and life experiences. We live in different parts of the world. I've often thought about the conversations we would have if we actually met someday at an event. That would be pretty outrageous!
I am looking forward to both Thor and Rudi's books. They will largely cover different time periods in Freddie's life, so I am not worried that one book will compete with the other. I'm expecting that once the books have been published and we have a chance to read them, they will spark many an interesting conversation...and maybe some friendly disagreements...but that's okay.
The other day I was chatting with a good friend about doing jigsaw puzzles...of all the various Queen/Freddie products I have seen over the years, I generally never see jigsaw puzzles for sale. I would love to find one that was a collage of Freddie in his various outfits. That would keep me entertained for a long time.

I became a Queen fan around ´97, when I was 14, 15 years old. My mum had "Greatest Hits 2" in her collection, and started listening to it. Shealso had recorded a 3 -4 TV broadcast of rock music videos, Queen also had a slot, so I also started watching that.. Before that I had known WWRY, WATC, IWTBF, AKOF from the radio, and "Princes of the Universe" from the TV series. I remember being very impressed by Freddie´s voice in the latter, and liking it in AKOM when I was a child. (before I turned into a fan).

Steven....If the "Greatest Hits 2" album you listened to was vinyl and not a CD, then I hope it did not get misplaced or given away over the years. There is nothing like real vinyl...and those record albums are collector's items now.
Rainbow, I didnt realize Freddie was diagnosed with ADHD.Usually you have to be seen by a doctor that's when they diagnosed me.However it didnt affect my learning as it does with some children.It just made me hyper and I would finish my work quickly and would disrupt other students I talked all the time.Steven I wasnt much of a Queen fan rowing up I basically started kinda following Freddie's story some after his death I was about 17 years old at the time.I can remember thinking why are these reporters and media making such a circus out of this mans life.I know stories go around about celebrities but what put the icing on the cake for me me is when they started making up these outlandish stories about him and women and such.Some people like privacy he may have been one of those people for reasons known to him.He was no bisexual .He loved the company of men it was obvious.It to me was so damaging and sad for them to say otherwise.So that's my story that's kinda what kinda got me intrigued on him and finding out the truth and then came Thor and Lee's thread and I had seen pics of them online with Freddie and other you ng men and I just knew what the media was putting out there had to be wrong.Im not a big fan of labeling a individual you are who you are at any given time but i do understand attractions to male and females and he wasn't attracted to females at all.
Sorry...I just reread my earlier post and realized I was not very clear. I certainly did not mean to say Freddie had ADHD. I only meant that he had some similar characteristics to the child I taught who was smart, funny, kind, and was not someone who liked to be still. But then again, that could describe many children.
Rainbow, I think a lot of people are turning to jigsaw puzzles right now. I watch Ellen every day and she was talking about a puzzle she is working on and her guest, Wanda Sykes, also is doing a puzzle. We used to do them as a family when the boys were growing up and it occurred to me it might be a good way to pass some time now. I finally found some at a good price on Zulilly so I got two. Amazon has some but the prices are ridiculous and Target online was sold out. You got me curious about Queen puzzles so I looked on Amazon and they do have a few, but they are album cover puzzles and they are close to $30. I'd love to have one of Freddie but I wouldn't pay $30 even for him. Album cover puzzles don't do it for me. BTW, one of my canvas prints is drawings of Freddie in his costumes. I love it! I also Googled Freddie Mercury puzzles and there are a few out there if you were serious. EDIT: I just found this/ http://www.queenonlinestore.com/Queen/Collectables/Queen-II-500-Piece-Jigsaw-Puzzle/68XA0RGM193
Steven, I'm limiting my news watching these days but I did see that Germany is opening up a little bit now. How do you feel about that?

Katydyd....The other day I set up a card table and opened up a new puzzle box. I haven't gotten to it yet though. It's a thousand piece puzzle of an old fashioned New England scene. I'm like you...doing a puzzle of a Queen album cover doesn't really interest me either. I took a look at your link. That puzzle has a lot of black in it. I'm not sure I would like that. I agree...not paying $30 for a puzzle either.
I found a Freddie jigsaw puzzle you can do online. You can adjust the number of pieces as well as the shape of those pieces. It has a lot of black in it also, but I like the picture...and it is free! :)

Rainbow!!! Nooo way!!! An online Freddie jigsaw puzzle! How cool!!! Copying the link now
Rainbow- I just skimmed back - yay re: Eddie Vedder ... Like minded. Hope your brain isn’t too mushy. I soooo know what you mean. Are you trough the bulk of your work.
Katy!! Thank you for the puzzle link to!! Copied.
So now I have a very important question (haha): why do men only get the Live-Aid socks (insert laughing emoji here) pics to follow.

I wasnt talking about book competitions of the two books period.I dont know why people insist on pinning that one on me when it's not true.I was simple stating a marketing fact that's all.In my opinion Thor and Lee's book is gonna be far more interesting because it's not gonna be from a personal perspective not a buisness one.This is also my opinion I'm personally not that fond of Rudi I dont know why maybe he tries too hard .To me someone that jumps right in there with the fans that are Freddie's and Queens to begin with has something up their sleeve.That was just my observation.It took a while for Thor and Lee to warm up to Freddie's fans more genuine to me just my thought.But just straightening that misconception out I think the book will do great always thought it would.I was just talking about marketing there are all types of marketing being two steps ahead is never a bad idea.
