What's Up With Kristy McNichol World News Articles?

Talk about freaking me out! I got a few Google news alerts on Kristy McNichol, former actress, and was afraid to read them for fear she had died. Someone seems to be sending around a generic press release on her with no new information that world news organizations are picking up. It's the kind of stuff you read when someone dies, except it didn't say anything about her dying, thank heavens!

Kristy McNichol's too young to die!
You mostly see a flurry of stuff on Kristy McNichol on her birthday which is September 11, 1962. Here's what they're posting in the article:

Kristy McNichol was born on 11th September 1962 in Los Angeles, California. She is a well known former actress of the Hollywood film industry. She had played a role of Leticia ‘Buddy’ in “Family” which was a popular drama series of television and a role of Barbara Weston in the “Empty Nest”, a sitcom series. Jimmy McNichol, a former child actor is the brother of Kristy McNichol.

Bipolar disorder was diagnosed in Kristy McNichol in 1992 and then she took her retirement from the acting career. Her mother Carollyne was also an actress and a business manager while her father Jim McNichol was a carpenter. Her mother has a Palestinian but her father has a Scottish background. Initially Kristy McNichol appeared in commercials with Jimmy McNichol (her brother).

She has also given guest appearances in some series like “The Bionic Woman”, “Starsky and Hutch”, “The Love Boat” and “Love American Style”. She was casted for a role “Buddy” in “Family”, a television drama series which was on air from 1976 to 1980 and this role has become her recognition among her fans. She had also won Best Supporting Actress Emmy Award for the same role, one in 1977 and the other in 1979.

Some other future actresses and actors like Michael J. Fox, Helen Hunt and Leif Garrett have also given their guest appearance on this show. Aaron Spelling was the producer of this show which was considered to highlight the real life issues. Kristy McNichol spent her whole life in Los Angeles, California and never got married. After getting her retirement from the acting career, she joined as an acting teacher in a private school of Los Angeles.

Here are the unusual world news organizations that posted this story on the Internet:

So WTF is this all about? Is there some looney tunes fan out there sending out press releases on Kristy McNichol? If so, it sounds familiar.

Nancy Pelosi Scares Me Lately

It's my second day of eating my own hand made tortillas and I'm still alive. Speaking of alive, Nancy Pelosi's health bill is scary and may be the death of us all. I wasn't afraid of Pelosi until she added imprisonment and fines for not participating in the government's health plan. The bill essentially ties doctors' hands from providing the best health care available.

The government is so out of whack these days. If everyone turned off their televisions and started becoming proactive in life things would get a whole lot better real fast. Remember the movie Network?



I'm still working on my last will and testament. I'll be one of those summary administrative probate people, under $100,000 of personal property. I'm still deciding who to leave my stun gun too. I'm also thinking of getting a life insurance policy considering the times we're living in. My life expectancy based on America's falling has been cut to just a few more years.

King Tut Da Bomb!

The King Tut exhibit in San Francisco on Saturday afternoon was packed with lines of people, but the exhibit itself wasn't too crowded to take long looks at the 3,000+ year old objects. This exhibit was far better then the Hatshepsut exhibit two years ago when the De Young first opened.

They began by taking us into a tomb showing a brief movie my Omar Sharif. Though they claim this is a scaled down version from the original exhibit from the 1970's, there is plenty of stuff to see. Our favorite object of the exhibit was the bust mannequin of King Tut. From the side it looked very realistic.

My favorite room was the final one, where all the solid gold statues, crowns and jewels were. Instead of the real mummy, they used a primitive version of a hologram and showed various layers of the mummy. In the future, they might consider a four dimensional holographic version of the mummy they'd be able to generate from computers. It was still well done to show you what King Tut's mummy looked like.

My friend's other favorite object I think was the solid gold dagger and case buried at King Tut's side. My favorite object was the gold crown they placed on the King Tut's mummy's head.
It was amazing! My other favorite piece was the model boat placed in the tomb. It still had the paint! The wood was mostly in fairly good condition that was amazing.


Model Boat in King Tut's Tomb Still Had Its Paint

Archeologist's are linking King Tut now as the possible son of Akhenaten (formerly Amenhotep IV, the guy changed his name!), the weird looking Pharaoh who converted to a type of communal guru. I once did a write up on this Pharaoh on my former website. I never dreamed I'd ever see the actual inscriptions of the famous photo I showed of Akhenaten worshipping the sun god Aten.


Akhenaten may have had the disease hyperpituitrism that caused elongated facial features.

Akhenaten apparently had some vision of the sun being the only God as the first monotheistic view recorded in civilization history. His wife was also none other than Nefertiti considered one of the most beautiful Egyptian bust statutes, and certainly one of the most famous.

Akhenaten essentially abandoned Egypt leaving the Karnak to set up his own sun worshipping commune. Egypt eventually declared him the "damned one" for bringing their country to near ruin. Apparently King Tut as Akhenaten's son survived whatever happened and was brought back to attend to a king's duties.

People speculate King Tut's mysterious death of which they are still unsure how he died exactly, was from a rival and overseer of his majesty's affairs. Many think Aye murdered King Tut to take over the thrown. Others believe it was a hunting accident since the boy King liked to take off on his own hunting on his chariot.

Warning - People Who Mess With Me Get Sued

This is a warning, anyone who messes with me by lying and committing perjury will be very sorry they ever did. Are you on a power trip? Do you really think you can get away with setting me up and lying in court? After I'm done you'll be $10,000 in a hole from attorney fees.

An attorney can't save you from your lies after my subpoenas and depositions I conduct provide
evidence. The judgment I'll obtain against your financial record will sink your credit costing you higher interest rates. When you go to buy a car a judgment on your record will cost you more money. You can't buy a home with thousands of dollars of a judgment.

If you think you can intimidate me, you have no idea what's in store for you. You'll be very sorry you ever chose the path you're on. Think of what $10,000 could have bought you in life. It will go into your attorney's pocket who will take his family on a nice cruise.


I'm not afraid of you. I'll come at your attorney with so many discovery requests, so much time consuming legal stuff, your attorney's bill will be sky high. I'll drag you through so much mud you'll deeply regret your fraudulent actions. Guess what? If technically possible, I'll continue to file variations of lawsuits against you for different matters after the first one is over with. Wow, you posted all my copyrighted photos on Blogger? I'll file another lawsuit for copyright infringement, that one's next.

Thirty One Year Miss from 1978 - King Tut Returns

Back in 1978 I missed the King Tut tour when it came to Los Angeles. Another scaled back tour has come back to the U.S., this time in San Francisco. I may have missed it again except someone offered to go with me and pay for my ticket.

This missive is similar to how I missed seeing Steely Dan in concert in 1978 that recently performed blocks away from where I live at the Masonic Auditorium. In 2009 they want $150 for a ticket, a real crime. Is seeing Steely Dan perform more important then King Tut to warrant such a price? Hell no!

When I was walking past the auditorium the night they performed, one of their promoters was standing outside. I wanted to laugh in his face. Who do these guys think they are? Musicians aren't that important to warrant such money in pre-Depression collapse of America times. Their music used to be good, but not that good. Talk about delusional!

Listening to Steely Dan's music today it sounds outdated and kind of weird to me now. The music was ahead of its time in 1978 but it doesn't stand the test of time as enduring good music. I'd rate it a B as far as pop bands go. Former Fan
Anyway back to King Tut. Two years ago I saw the Queen Hatshepsut exhibit that was great! I studied about this female Pharaoh a while back when I designed a web site. I also purchased the Hatshepsut.com domain but since let go of it. I had planned on doing a nice little educational site but never got around to it back in 2000.

Building a web site's a lot of work. People have no idea. Especially if you have to generate all the graphics yourself.

GLD (GOLD) Stock & Monday's Missive

I wasn't going to post this but I was seriously thinking of putting the remainder of my 401k plan into the GLD stock on Monday before it skyrocketed the past three days. Had I done so theoretically I would have made thousands of dollars in a matter of three days.

I was in GLD for a while after I recovered from losses in which I had invested right before its historical plunge by $10 per share. I waited months to recover, made an extra $5,000 but was so shaken by the volatility of the stock, I decided to play it conservatively. There were claims the GLD fund didn't have the real gold to back up their fiat paper stock.

Then the past few days I was thinking what the hell, the dollar's going to eventually crash anyway, why not make some money and take it out next year so I don't incur a huge tax liability? So, I was planning on getting into GLD again but got sidetracked from it on Sunday. I was going to do an on-line transfer investment after checking for Monday morning stats. Then I got too busy and forgot about it. Memories lingered of getting burned before which may have contributed to holding back.


The past few days I noted with disgust GLD went up $7 per share! Then again, I've seen it drop $4.00 per share in one day. Just because it goes up in a few days doesn't mean it won't potentially come right back down within the next few weeks. No stock goes up and up for long.

The stock market is a gamble for sure. Gamble at your own risk.

No Estate Tax in 2010 - What Does It Really Mean?

I'm studying about revocable living trusts and am wondering what the gov't has up its sleeve in 2010 having completely repealed the estate tax that year. What this means is that when someone dies, there is usually an estate tax due upon death if it exceeds the minimum cap. For instance, in 2009 the personal estate tax exempt amount jumped from $2 million estates and above to $3.5 million estates and above.

For some peculiar reason, in 2010 it doesn't matter how large the estate is, there is ZERO estate taxes due that year. The following year in 2011, the estate size cap is lowered for those estates just $1 million and above. This means any estate over $1 million will be subject to an estate tax. It doesn't take much effort to have an estate worth $1 million considering real estate prices are so high these days. A modest home can easily be worth nearly $1 million, and then there's the 401(k) plans!

One can only speculate what those in government are aware of and possibly have planned for Americans in 2010. Perhaps they're preparing for massive deaths from the swine flu vaccinations they're incrementally unleashing on a mass scale. Maybe the former eight year Republican administration wanted to protect the extremely wealthy from having to pay any taxes knowing many would be dying. It seems so illogical that each year some random financial numbers are used to determine who pays estate taxes. What could possibly be the reasoning behind the 2010 year of no estate taxes?

According to many reliable sources the likes of the Trend Research Institute's Gerald Celente, 2010 is going to be a pivotal year for America. Many are predicting America's potential collapse into the North American Union (U.S., Canada and New Mexico). I think 2010 is going to be interesting and probably terrifying as well.

Paranoid Monster Refuses to Open Door for Tinkerbell Halloween Night

Tinkerbell had some special magic dust for a couple monsters hiding in their cave on Halloween. They were so paranoid it was a process server with part 2 of their lawsuit, they closed the door prior to Tinker's arrival at their door.

Tinker was in tears and felt so rejected but the kids came back with her and tried again. Unlike other
more kindly neighbors, (you know, normal folks) the monster of the house hid inside all night ignoring their knocks.

Prior to Tinker & Co.'s arrival at their cave, t
he monster scoped out the neighborhood from his balcony for possible process servers staking out his neighborhood.

Tinkerbell ended up affixing a GPS tracking system underneath their car and now we track the monsters everywhere they go from satellite.
Tinker thought the monster was a bit paranoid not to open his door and to turn his back and walk away from children and their trick or treats. Who runs away from children asking for candy? A cowardly paranoid monster, that's who!

Just Ordered SilverLungs™ Generator

I'm going to have a little laboratory soon after my SilverLungs™ Generator purchase. I've had bronchitis reoccurring every two years, and whenever it does, it knocks me out for weeks and is a horrendous experience. I decided to try the colloidal silver inhalation method and to actually buy a generator that makes the solution. Here's a little blurb from the SilverLungssite:

Why silver? - Multiple laboratory tests have shown colloidal/ionic silver to kill disease-causing pathogens, viruses and bacteria typically within minutes of contact. Silver has been shown to be a powerful anti-fungal, anti-germicidal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral substance. Surprisingly, current modern pharmaceutical antibiotics are generally effective on less than 10 pathogens.
You inhale the silver through a nebulizer so I got one of those too. To purchase premade solution becomes expensive so I decided to just make it myself. I figure you can't put a price on your health and preventative maintenance is my choice. I don't want to get bronchitis ever again if I can help it. It's a chronic condition.

I decided to make the purchase after listening to the audio archive explaining everything about the machine, process and scientific end of it. It's a hefty piece of change, but it costs money whenever you get sick for weeks upon end too. I'll be providing updates with my progress using the colloidal silver solution. Guaranteed I wont be turning blue like one guy Paul Karason who was foolish to add salt to try and speed up the solution making process.

Reasons I Let Go of Television Programming

There are a few reasons I decided to forgo watching television since 2007. First, television makes me feel lethargic and provides an excuse and escape from doing things I most likely would otherwise do, like read or do something productive. I'm convinced television can be very detrimental to one's life if you allow it to be.

That's not to say I don't occasionally miss the easier times when I used to come home from the late shift to a glass of wine and Golden Girls episodes I never saw when I was young. The show was hilarious, but hardly something a 30's something would want to watch. Sadly, within two years of my watching most all the episodes, all but one of the stars of the program passed away.

After I caught up on all the GG episodes I also used to love coming home to the endless Will & Grace repeats. Sometimes the program would be on two cable channels at night. After watching at least 3-4 repeats of each episode, I decided enough was enough, especially since the program went off the air. I was late to the W&G bandwagon, as I didn't start watching until 2005, long after it had begun in 1999.
I've never seen any of the other popular sitcoms, including Seinfeld and probably never will.

In 2005, I branched out with my new HDTV 42 inch Sharp screen to the Discovery, Science and History Channels and enjoyed some of the programming a while, including Survivorman and those great crab boat dangerous fishing shows. I liked the crime solving shows too, but one thing became apparent the more I watched -- there were too many repeats. Sometimes I'd see the same programs within a few weeks of one another. This was true of a lot of different series, even judge programs.

Today what I do is catch what I want to see on YouTube clips, the alternative media and various other outlets offered by businesses. Let's face it, Comcast's $80 charge per month is a lot of money and adds up over the years. I came to the conclusion I could purchase DVD series of programs I enjoyed and various educational series from the Teaching Company to get more out of my viewing time.
I don't regret getting rid of Comcast. I don't think I'll ever have cable television again.

I may also eventually get rid of the large screen television in the near future I don't really need. I hear Governor Schwarzenegger may make it mandatory to get rid of my screen tv anyway, that anything above 40 inches will be banned for energy conservation in the future. I don't think that would be quite right for the state government to force people to dump their large screens they initially allowed industries to profit from.

I don't know if the new legislation means they can eventually force me to get rid of my large screen or if it's just for new purchases, but whatever it is, I can live without a 42 inch large screen set.
