  I'm with Shirley on those names - lol.

  @ten years after: Please tell us more details about your Michael Jackson story.

  @jws: OMG! An American Movie reference! Genius - love those idiots. ;-)

  For my own brushes with fame: I was on vacation with my daughter in NYC when 9/11 happened. On 9/9/01, we passed Janeane Garofalo on the street. It was late and dark and we were trying to find a bathroom. When Janeane was walking toward us, she and I made eye contact and smiled at each other, but I didn't say anything and I squeezed my daughter's hand, trying to be all cool and nonchalant whilst I alerted my kid to the celebrity spotting, and my daughter squeezed my hand back in an "I love you, too" kinda way, cuz that's how we roll. She never did see Janeane. I think she was happy because there was a McDonald's across the street where she could use the twalet.

  Years later, we also saw Mario Van Peebles and Timothy Hutton filming a movie on the streets of NYC. We walked by when they were wrapping the film and they started celebrating and all the extras/crew were hugging Mario and dissing Timothy Hutton.

  Met Willie Gault and Tim Brown on one of my ex-husband's photo shoots.

  "Met" many baseball players when I lived a double life. Mickey Hatcher and Kirby Puckett (rip) ftw.

  ShirleyW: " So of course I had to google .

  Good Lord ! ! !! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

  Is that a pic of her cooch or a Brazilian rain forest ?"

  Pretty sure it's a merkin. Consider the year when the pic was taken. Pre-Photoshop and the volume and perkiness of the plumage would seem to indicate a prosthetic. i.e., pimpin' it old school. This is my non-professional opinion.

  this is a fascinating, beautiful story.

  "separated from his older brother at a train station, five-year-old saroo munshi khan found himself lost in the slums of calcutta.

  nearly 20 years later, living in australia, he began a painstaking search for his birth home, using ingenuity, hazy memories, and google earth.. .

  " A cynical part of me wonders if it's really true, but I'd like to believe it is."

  I understand that feeling as I had it, too. But Vanity Fair is not a tabloidy type publication. They have world class journalists contributing every month and I've never seen an instance where they were fact-checked to their detriment.

  That's exactly what I felt reading it tonight, which is why I shared it here. I hope people take the time to read it. It really does help to put our first world problems in perspective. I cannot in my wildest imaginations fathom 1) what it would be like to live in a place like that and 2) how I would continue to breathe if my daughter just disappeared one day.

  This is a fascinating, beautiful story.

  " Separated from his older brother at a train station, five-year-old Saroo Munshi Khan found himself lost in the slums of Calcutta. Nearly 20 years later, living in Australia, he began a painstaking search for his birth home, using ingenuity, hazy memories, and Google Earth.

  I t was just a small river flowing over a dam, but to five-year-old Saroo Munshi Khan it felt like a waterfall. He played barefoot under the downpour as trains passed nearby. When night fell, he would walk a couple miles home.

  Home was a tiny mud-brick house with a tin roof. He lived there with his mother, Kamala, who worked long hours carrying bricks and cement, two older brothers, Guddu and Kullu, and a younger sister, Shekila. His father, Munshi, had abandoned the family two years earlier. Guddu, then aged nine, had assumed his role as the man of the house. Guddu spent his days searching passenger trains for fallen coins. Sometimes he didn’t return for days. On one occasion, he was arrested for loitering at the train station.

  One day, Guddu took Saroo on a road he’d never seen before, to a factory where Guddu had heard that they might be able to steal eggs. As the boys made their way out of the coop—holding their shirts like hammocks, full of eggs—two security guards came after them, and they were separated.

  Saroo was illiterate. He couldn’t count to 10. He didn’t know the name of the town he lived in or his family’s surname. But he had a keen sense of direction and paid attention to his surroundings. He retraced the journey in his mind, and his feet followed—through the dusty streets, turning past the cows and the cars, a right here near the fountain, a left there by the dam—until he stood panting at his doorstep. He was out of breath and nearly out of eggs, so many had cracked and oozed through his shirt. But he was home."

  I have two SPCA dogs and I can't imagine going anywhere else to find a furry friend. I know I'll lose them someday, but I just don't let myself think about it. Your post makes me realize I need to take more pictures. And I need to go to Utah ;-)
