RIP Gordon, another great singer/storyteller gone.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

He was certainly one of the great singer song writers. His classics will live on forever.

Dear Moderators, I'm wondering if there is any way to find out if someone was a member here without knowing their user name, I just know his real name. A friend's son tragically took his life last week, he was a die hard Bruins fan. He was just 24 years old. He may have been a member here. We often wonder when members disappear suddenly what happened, so thought I would ask.

Whether a member or not, I'm heartbroken to read that

Gordon Lightfoot, Hitmaking Singer-Songwriter, Is Dead at 84 (Published 2023)

His rich baritone voice and songs like “Sundown,” “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” and “If You Could Read My Mind” made him a top artist of the 1970s.

My sister Julie, now twice a grandmother, had a crush on Gord as a high schooler in the '70s.

I actually remember the "wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," and Lightfoot's haunting retelling of its demise.

Normally, this would go into the Music Thread, but here's my second favorite Gordon LIghtfoot song, which haunts in a different way,

Such a great storyteller with his music ,will be sorely missed.

Bostonians take their frustrations out on Skittles after viral tweet dunking on Bruins

Bruins fans were just itching to have someone to punch back at after that stunning collapse, and Skittles more than fit the bill.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. (WHDH) - The Cambridge Matignon School will permanently close at the end of the current school year, the school’s Board of Trustees president announced on Tuesday.

President Marc-Anthony Hourihan signed the announcement sent to school community members, citing financial challenges as the main reason for the Catholic school’s closure after 75 years of operation.

“It is with great sadness that we share the news that The Cambridge Matignon School will permanently close its doors upon the conclusion of the 2022-23 academic year,” Hourihan said.

“Although we continue to boast an extensive international student program, strong pipeline to top-tier colleges and universities as well as an immensely experienced and educated faculty, we unfortunately are not immune from the financial challenges that go with continuing this expectation of greatness,” he continued, in part. “While all members of our school leadership group have exhausted all options to continue forward, we have not been able to secure the funds necessary to support the long-term sustainability of the school.”

Does anyone have any comedy show recommendations

I’m so depressed right now I need to try and have a laugh and get my mind off hockey

Highly recommend the Night Agent on Netflix. Its mindless, but the characters aer likeable and theres some suspense.

Over the past 24 hours I’ve gotten a manicure/pedicure, a brow tint, a lash lift and tint, and a spray tan.

SO MUCH MORE TIME TO BE A GIRL WITHOUT HOCKEY.

I went out today and got 5.25 on a CD.

Felt pretty good about that.

A spray tan sounds delightful and so much better than those Isle of Paradise drops.

I don’t do it often, just before big events and trips. Works pretty well, even if I can’t shower for 8 hours and the smell is killing me.

I haven't had one in awhile but I always try to go in the morning so I can do things to keep my mind off the horrendous smell.

The price you pay for beauty sometimes
