My friend Pauline and I met Gladys Knight AND her Pips at Palisades Amusement Park in Cliffside Park/Fort Lee, NJ. We even shook all.of their hands. We were 12 years old! We still talk about it.

Wild Thing

Have met too many to list, had a few ignore their bodyguards so photos could be taken with them by paparazzi, and after meeting more than once had a few remember my name and saying they hope we meet yet again! And cannot forget that I got to know one of them VERY well, ahem, if you know what I mean!

Jeanette Johnson

No definitely don't know what you mean good for you no name dropping here

Joyce Koch

I met and got my photo taken with one.

John Rorabaugh

I worked for a big university theatre department, so yes. Can't remember them all. I have never thought it was important.

Jeanette Johnson

WOW I'm so curious on how they were to you. I'm kinda thinking these were conventions I really really really hope you have all good memories of meeting these people and they were still amazing to you after

Lisa Gray

I talked to one on the phone once. Cannot remember his name, darn it. He called me asking for money for the local police department and we ended up chatting for a bit. Very nice guy. Used to play a doctor on television? Oh! I remember! Chad Everett!

Jeanette Johnson

okay why would he be calling you for money at a police station??? just can't put this here without telling more

I met actors James Stewart and Jackie Chan at book signings -- and I touched John Denver and said, "Thanks, John," after a concert.

Jeanette Johnson

oh WOW

Bonnie Batten

Quite a few, mostly at concert meet and greets.

Jeanette Johnson

WOW I don't think I will ever be able to afford a meet and greet I'm curious who was the most awesome to you ?? And of course who was the worse which would be so heartbreaking I've watched and heard Keith Richards in interviews what he hates the most is meet and greets at their concerts

Robert Davidson

Some performers have a meet and greet after their show.

David May

I have met more than most people would have thought to. When they found that I was interested in them as a person most were just that...a person. Once someone tried to set me up with one. I could do better.

No, and I'm fine with that.

Honestly, not interested

Is someone who lets their pet off-leash in restricted areas considered a 'bad pet owner?'

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

robert weber

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

Kati Magana

If it is a law and you break it regardless of what it refers to that is breaking the law- which by definition is criminal. If you put your pet in a situation that is unsafe that is your responsibility and ergo you are a bad pet owner. Pets are like our kids, it's our job to keep them safe.

Kim Ritchie

yes because they are putting their dog as well as people with leashed pets at risk. Not all dogs like other dogs and not all people are comfortable with strange dogs running up to them.

Ann Thomas

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

Deborah Albright

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

Nic Secor

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

Payton Dixson

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

k san

No, that's too big a generalization. However, those owners should never let their pet off-leash in those areas.

robert weber

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?

Way more time on new media.

Larry Ewart

Switched to YouTube from Cable like it so much better because of what we normally watch is programmed for us.

Adam Nixon

I'd say it's like 60/40 in favor of things like user generated content, but it has more to do with time than anything else. Due to things like work and chores, I just don't have time during the day for movies/TV. But for a few hours in the evening, I tend to watch more movies/TV, which I prefer.

Andrew Cozzini

This is one of those where I'm voting the honest truth, even though I'd prefer it be the other (while still making time for Geekvolution, of course). I think it's because of how casually I can spend hours on YouTube, as opposed to being intentional about catching up on content I intend to consume.

I still have a cable subscription mainly for sports. I will say that I watch things I DVR more versus flipping around stations like I used to.

BookPlotBattles
