Celebrate Little Victories - The Big Bang Theory, Boy Scouts' Popcorn, and A Life Celebrated



Last night's episode of THE BIG BANG THEORY, aptly titled THE HOLOGRAPHIC EXCITATION, featured the poster for Anne Elizabeth's THE PENDULUM.  You can see the poster in the opening scene (as credits are rolling) when they are in the comic book store - look over Sheldon's right shoulder at this link.


The gang is looking up Anne Elizabeth's website at this link.


The Boy Scouts' popcorn sales are underway!  Our troop had a successful sale last weekend - the proceeds will fund new tents!   If you would like to support the Scouts, check out this link to popcorn sales. 


Speaking of Boy Scouts, we mourn one of its biggest supporters in the Dayton area.   Dorothy Niebes, a family friend, recently died at age 89.  Her husband, Flash, worked at Wright Patterson Air Force Base while she worked for the county schools.  They raised three Eagle Scouts while serving the local community.   Dorothy adored my children and often sent them puzzles and cartoons in the mail.   Dorothy was one-of-a-kind.  We celebrate her life!

Do you like popcorn?  What flavor?   I am giving away a book choice from my convention stash plus a package of Unbelievable Popcorn to one randomly selected commenter.   Comments are open to all readers.  Comments are open through Saturday, November 3, 10 pm in Hawaii.  I'll post the winner on Sunday, November 4. 

Mahalo,

Kim in Hawaii

  1. I like buttered popcorn, but cheese flavored is a close second.

  5. I like cheddar cheese popcorn. I tried caramel pop corn and it was just too sweet for me.

  6. I don't like popcorn myself, it's so squeaky when you bite into it. My sister is a big fan of the stuff and loves it covered in sticky caramel.

  13. I like regular (plain) popcorn. As a special treat, caramel popcorn or chocolate-covered popcorn are wonderful. I haven't had any Boy Scouts at my door selling popcorn yet. If they come, I will buy.

  14. Thanks for the shout-out, Kim! I am still in shock and completely thrilled! I adore BBT! I agree every moment-big and small- should be cherished especially those featuring joy, family, and friends.

    Sorry to hear about the passing of your family friend. Our condolences and prayers go out to you and yours.

    Hooyah & hugs!

  18. I love the Big Bang Theory but don't always catch the new ones but watch loads of repeats to the point that I can recite half the lines lol. I like either plain popcorn or the caramel kind that you find in Cracker Jacks!

  19. Love the Big Bang Theory!!!!! Ummm... I don't like popcorn. Weird, I know. My whole family loves it and I even dislike the smell. So when we would watch movies as a family, I'd be sitting alone at the opposite side of the living room!
