Just saw this quote in an old interview I did from 2006. Note the Trump reference- it’s hard to remember when Trump was “just” a reality-TV host. And before that, a well-known rich guy.
(I’ll post the article below if you find it interesting)
This part was referring to an internet-based “cat reality show” I had hosted around that time-
Int: Was there a particular pun on the show you enjoyed most?
Tom “My weekly catchphrase "You are Meowta here!" Not that it's not a stupid thing to have to say every episode, but I always wanted my own TV catchphrase, like Fonzy or Freddie Prince. Or Trump.”
What a trio huh? Fonzy (Aaaaaayyyy!) Freddie Prinze (Looking Good!) and Trump, (You’re Fired)
Here’s the rest of this (remember, it’s from 17 years ago!)

Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:

Hey Tom 😘 I haven’t posted here in a while and should have. Things here are better as time passes and I really look forward to the show in Clarksville TN in September. Sure hope we can run into each other there 🙂 getting used to being a widow has been a journey I wasn’t ready for but friends have been there and I have continued on, better every day. Having God in my life was crucial. He knows what He’s doing. He knows what I need, and Faith has kept me upright. So one foot in front of the other and onward. I pray y’all are well and happy on your end 💕

While I hope she is found unharmed and those responsible are punished…
How many people disappear everyday that nobody cares about because they aren’t related to someone famous?
It’s not that I don’t care…
I just don’t care very much…
It has no effect on my day to day life.
“It’s Rascist!”
Here is a comprehensive list of everyday (or relatively common) activities and situations in the United States where a photo ID (such as a driver’s license, state-issued ID card, passport, or military ID) is typically required. Requirements can vary by state, business policy, or specific circumstances, but these are widely reported and commonly encountered in daily life.
I’ve grouped them for clarity:
Age-Restricted Purchases (Very Common Daily/Weekly Activities)
• Buying alcohol (beer, wine, liquor)
• Purchasing tobacco products (cigarettes, vapes, etc.)
• Buying certain over-the-counter medications (e.g., pseudoephedrine for cold/flu remedies, often age- and purchase-limited)
• Purchasing mature-rated video games or media (e.g., M-rated games)
Travel and Transportation
• Boarding a domestic commercial flight (especially post-REAL ID enforcement)
• Renting or picking up a rental car
• Driving a vehicle (carrying a driver’s license is required by law in all states)
