Saint Juib, I guess I may be a bit partial I don’t take too many people very easily and when I found out they may be writing a book about Freddie I thought hell yes good for Freddie. It really has nothing to do with the two guys I think they have been more than generous with the fans.It honestly could’ve been anyone that said yeah I knew Freddie this is who this guy really was these are some of the great times we had with him. I’m sorry fans some of the things your being told isn’t true he did like dudes.We know this because we like dudes too and that’s what we were doing as Gay men hanging out in New York. He was one of the guys.Honesty may not be popular but it goes a long way with me. This part of Freddie’s history is left out for whatever reason and I’m glad it’s gonna get told.So I guess there is admiration on many followers parts especially the followers that have been around since the beginning. I think Katydyd is an original one and I know she has a lot of good memories and stories to tell from the first thread.Maybe she will share sometime with some new folks.SaintJuib were You apart of the first thread.

Sorry about the long post should’ve made two
Yes Chevy, - I was in the the 1st Thor thread from near the beginning. I participated occasionally in Thor's threads, but did not participate a lot in Thor's threads as I am an introvert.
SaintJuib, I’m not real sociable either this thread has kinda been my therapy. Helped with depression and PTSD for sure. I get overwhelmed in crowded spaces so this has definitely helped me lots.Friends of mine love bars but since my accident I really get overwhelmed in them. I would rather get a bottle and drink at home.It’s all good we do our best and that’s good enough.
It's amazing how much I miss over just a couple of days!!! First off - Happy Birthday to everyone!!! I almost feel left out as my bday isn't until September. Then again, I share a bday month w/Freddie so it's all good!!! It's also nice to see, with people sharing their ages, that I'm not the only "older" one here!! Maybe that's why we can all relate?!?!?
Finally got some kinks worked out on my damn comp so was finally able to see Katy's canvas prints (love!!), Lsgp03's pic of Freddie (background kinda blurry, was the dictionary page relevant or random?) and JB's link to the Green Day concert (hadn't seen it, thanks so much for posting it!!)
Will admit I'm a little confused about this whole Gerry thing and another site. I feel like I should know who he is - does he go by a different user name? Don't mean to open up anything negative though so feel free to ignore me if it's gonna bring up bad stuff ;)
I also remember some discussion a few pages back about the Beatles.....memory is not so great but I think I still have some old memorabilia left from when my brother passed. Held onto it just cause I thought that, someday, I might run into a fan that would appreciate it. I'm not a huge fan AND not sure where I put the darn box. BUT, if I find it, I will post what I have and if any of you are interested, would love to send it to someone. He had a huge collection of Beatles and Dr Who items but nothing Queen :(. I was kinda surprised too cause he was a huge Flash fan!!

Amidds, I was born in the wrong era my friend I love the Beatles they Rock! I like all those old bands I also like Black Sabbath.
And the Doors
In the day I’m not gonna lie me and my friends smoked a hell of a lot of weed and listened to the doors.
Amidds, I don’t know Gerry I don’t know a lot of those screen names that keep changing I just heard he has created havoc in the past. I don’t get the whole name changing thing I love my screen name it’s nice plain and simple kinda like a one named person when you think of it it’s kinda like the name CHER LOl.
Amidds, if you still want to understand the Gerry situation, can you PM me and I'll explain it? I'm so sorry I got the topic started because we've never had trouble with him on this thread and I don't want to draw him here. I'd just say be very cautious if we suddenly get a "newbie" posting.
Thor has an update if you guys want to check it out.
Amidds, that's cool that you have your brother's Beatles collection. It's awfully nice of you to consider donating it to a fan. When I took all of my old albums to Good Will, many of the early Beatles records were in the box. I always like to think that someone who collects records was looking through the records in the GW store and felt like they had come upon a treasure.
Lsgp, I did watch the Rudi Live on YouTube last night. He had some good stories to share, but the problem for me is that it takes him too long to get to the point. My mind starts wandering, and then I'm looking at a catalog on my desk, and then I'm going through a pile of papers and then and then and then...……………..We talked about this before, but I wish he would define "chapter". He can't possibly mean a normal chapter or the book will be massive.

Chevy - yep, saw the update. Not surprised that the publisher is moving so slow but, will admit, very disappointed that there will be another delay. I totally understand the situation but I was really hoping for something good to come out of this year......
Katy - my brother was kind of a hoarder so not sure what I have left that is in good condition but, for a true fan it would probably be interesting. My area was supposed to have a "junk away" day this month so my hubby and I shifted a ton of stuff around in our crawl space for that. Due to COVID, the pick up got cancelled and now that box is buried behind all the stuff we can't get rid of lol!! You probably made someone's year with your albums!! That's one thing I haven't been able to part with, my album collection, even though I don't play them :) Will PM you later on the Gerry thing as not remembering is driving me nutty lol.

Amidds, I know this covid thing has been so hard on all people. Hopefully it’s the end of it. Are flights back up again?
I was kinda worried about the flights are they taking any new precautions due to the covid virus. I hope they do I think it would make me a little nervous to take a flight. I do understand that’s the only way a lot of people see family which is so very important . It’s essential to our sanity these days. I know people are getting vacation fever like crazy. Maybe they can take their boats out or do camping. I guess not everybody is from the country like me. It didn’t hurt us that bad our idea of a good time is outdoor stuff a lot of beer drinking we stay in cabins a lot.We also go fishing and to the lakes that’s Oklahoma.The thought of a vacation in a large place would scare me to death with social anxiety.I would sure love to go back to Branson though I really love it there.
